Speaker 2: Oh wow, it was twenty eight yesterday was summer.
Speaker 1: Idea. Yeah, too much too. It gets too hot, you know,
Speaker 1: I love it the better. It's too old for for
Speaker 1: for big walks.
Speaker 5: Just too old.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: We're not made for hate. We're not made for anyway.
Speaker 1: Cold means rugby league.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, the pressure is gonna kick weeks. The
Speaker 5: tablet started. I don't know what they're doing with doctor Bombay.
Speaker 1: With Dr Bombay, he's going to come and see so
Speaker 1: we're going there you go, let's doing Nicola yep.
Speaker 2: So let's kick you off with the good thing of
Speaker 2: the week.
Speaker 5: Good thing of the week, Okay, So look, we didn't
Speaker 5: want to see two legends in Diese Hazzler and Foreign
Speaker 5: in the years with the wooden spoon, so watching them
Speaker 5: win for the Titans was a great That's my good
Speaker 5: thing of the week, wanting them to finish their careers
Speaker 5: with a win because they're great service in the game.
Speaker 5: Especially Foreign. I'd love Foreign. I've always loved the way
Speaker 5: he plays. Is a tough man and to go out
Speaker 5: on a high is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Dessy.
Speaker 5: I don't know. He hasn't announced retirement, but I can't
Speaker 5: see teams are running the getting.
Speaker 2: To continue exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think you might get picked up by
Speaker 5: someone I don't know.
Speaker 1: Superle on the on on the desert thing. I think
Speaker 1: you hit and only head two weeks ago. Work in
Speaker 1: the n r L. Get him in the in a
Speaker 1: world to do I don't know, look over the coaching
Speaker 1: or I mean the refine or something. Because he's too
Speaker 1: valuable to lose.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I think he's a little eccentric.
Speaker 1: Maybe we've learnt stories. Yeah maybe, but you know what,
Speaker 1: he's got lots of knowledge in He's got lots of knowledge. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, I didn't think of getting him into
Speaker 1: the n RL like the office up there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: just with the referees, I think it would be anything.
Speaker 1: So I think it was a good one too. But
Speaker 1: can I add? Can I add to the forum thing?
Speaker 1: Did you just did you know that he was miked up?
Speaker 2: Was he? Ye?
Speaker 1: So he was miked up? And late night television on
Speaker 1: five o two on Foxville they showed some clips of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, him talking and the rugby the actual ground
Speaker 1: on the grounds office was pretty pretty cool. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the game when everybody was congratulating him
Speaker 1: and the things that were saying to him in terms
Speaker 1: of tributes to him, and his and his family were
Speaker 1: on the ground as wall calling out Dad that we
Speaker 1: love you, We're so proud of you. It actually brought
Speaker 1: a tea tea to my eyes.
Speaker 2: So isn't it great that he and I know has
Speaker 2: them might not be finished, but isn't it great that
Speaker 2: they finished both of their last games.
Speaker 1: It's amazing they started together and they finished. I think
Speaker 1: it's a poetry. I really do think it's cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and just before I go to Nick has been one.
Speaker 5: Also good thing I wanted to mention is I like
Speaker 5: how the NRROL players listen to our pot and they
Speaker 5: love our nicknames. Because Ryce Walsh got to be jealous
Speaker 5: because you kept calling tongue and callen Ponga toilet. So
Speaker 5: I think Reyce wanted to take that nickname off him
Speaker 5: by his efforts last week, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 5: We're going to call him the plumber out plumber. And
Speaker 5: now let's see what's on Nico's bin.
Speaker 2: Nico, before we got to Nicosun, was waiting for a
Speaker 2: nicola in the can nicola. I'm not feeling great. I've
Speaker 2: got a bit of a cold. That's why I'm If
Speaker 2: you can see in the background, I've got my I
Speaker 2: got my love and the candle there clear give me
Speaker 2: some Indians. So what I have tonight is not actually
Speaker 2: something that's in the bin, but just just an observation
Speaker 2: that I'd like to point out that for the two
Speaker 2: years in a row, now, for two seasons in a row,
Speaker 2: Paramatter have handed out the wooden spoon, and they've done
Speaker 2: it by putting over sixty points on the team in
Speaker 2: both games. Last year was the Tigers, this year was Newcastle.
Speaker 1: There you go, that was great, It was great.
Speaker 2: Both of those teams are in the bin for that reason,
Speaker 2: because both both teams had a chance to avoid the
Speaker 2: wooden spoon and they copped over sixty points. So they're
Speaker 2: in my bin. Apparent how I always find a way
Speaker 2: that it's.
Speaker 5: Not Paris should spread those points out more in the
Speaker 5: beginning of the season rather than when they come as.
Speaker 2: Considering Moses missed the first half of the season, you know,
Speaker 2: in the last in the last five six weeks, they
Speaker 2: beat what three of the top four sides and they
Speaker 2: lost to Melbourne on the button.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about later. Yeah, but you're right, You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right.
Speaker 2: So let's rather than controversy corner, let's run through the
Speaker 2: ladder as we're leading into the finals this week. So
Speaker 2: the Raiders, congratulations on winning the minor premiership. Do you
Speaker 2: believe that's the second time ever they've won the minor premiership?
Speaker 1: The milk was first or second?
Speaker 2: Might be the first, the first they've.
Speaker 1: Won it before?
Speaker 5: Surely didn't. I thought I heard something like thirty five years.
Speaker 5: I haven't one for thirty five years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it might be it's the first or
Speaker 2: definitely the second. The most Yeah, Now I tipped them
Speaker 2: bottom four at the start of the season, so what
Speaker 2: what Ricky Stewart's done there. He has to be coach
Speaker 2: of the year absolutely, I mean you would assume, but yeah,
Speaker 2: minor premiership and they did it by beating the Tigers,
Speaker 2: uh second with the Storm Bulldogs coming third. That's a
Speaker 2: big improvement for the Dogs. George. Last years Broncos Broncos,
Speaker 2: they stumbled a bit during the season there, but they
Speaker 2: came strong to finish fourth. The Sharks landed fifth, the
Speaker 2: Warriors seemed to be falling off the rails finishing at sixth.
Speaker 2: Panthers were sitting last at some point almost halfway through
Speaker 2: the season and they came in seventh and they lost
Speaker 2: back to back golden point games, So they could have
Speaker 2: been in the top four. Roosters coming in coming in
Speaker 2: pretty strong towards the end of the season with eighth,
Speaker 2: and let's run through the rest of the ladder and
Speaker 2: just give a quick pass fail to the teams. What
Speaker 2: do you think, Let's do it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do it, idea.
Speaker 2: So coming coming in at ninth with the Dolphins, for me,
Speaker 2: it's a pass, but I almost think they should have
Speaker 2: been in the eight. I still think. I still think
Speaker 2: they had a good season, but it could have been better.
Speaker 4: No, you had boss stalk out then you had to
Speaker 4: heard it like they've been riddled with injury. Kafusie and
Speaker 4: the boys explained to me that Kafusie isn't a grub,
Speaker 4: which is a grub? I do not think he is
Speaker 4: maybe in the way sometimes and if he is always out,
Speaker 4: why not Crichton. But anyway, I think I think Dolphins
Speaker 4: should have been in a for sure.
Speaker 5: I absolutely give it a pass because last year they
Speaker 5: came tenth under super coach Bennett, and you know what
Speaker 5: happens when a coach takes over from Bennett actually failed,
Speaker 5: but Christian Wolf has actually improved them. He got him
Speaker 5: to ninth. So that's an awesome effort by Christian Wolf.
Speaker 5: I definitely give him a pass mark. They did have
Speaker 5: a lot of injuries. They had the front roller as
Speaker 5: well out they've had start, yeah, and they had the
Speaker 5: cyclone and everything else. But there have been out what's
Speaker 5: the Flegler No, no, no, the guy that got from
Speaker 5: the BRONCOSGLA wasn't is part of the Dolphins, so he's
Speaker 5: been out all the season. And the other guy that
Speaker 5: plays for the the Dolphins it plays for Origin as well.
Speaker 5: Two years now he's been a lot.
Speaker 2: Of a lot of teams have had been hit by injury.
Speaker 4: They have absolutely who's the top point scorer by f
Speaker 4: fifty six.
Speaker 5: Points as well, greatest goal kicker.
Speaker 1: One past Marker Nicolo. With twelve players out and most
Speaker 1: of them a lot of them forwards. Yeah, look, they.
Speaker 2: Had the coach his first season, the.
Speaker 1: Coach, and you know what, he's gave a brand new
Speaker 1: style of play. And at some stage in the middle
Speaker 1: of the year, with all those players out, they were looking.
Speaker 1: They will looking the goods to make the eight. And
Speaker 1: and you know what, they must be one of the
Speaker 1: most entertaining teams to watch. So I love watching the
Speaker 1: Dolphins the way they play so exactly a big pass.
Speaker 1: And also you now, if they have less injuries next year,
Speaker 1: don't about the eight they'll be pushing for. That's how
Speaker 1: good they'll be pushing for. Because how Christian Wolf has
Speaker 1: developed easy and some other players in the back line,
Speaker 1: I mean Katawa, Yeah, I mean Katoa. If he keeps
Speaker 1: on the same projectory, he will be the number one
Speaker 1: half back in the game in the next the next
Speaker 1: five to six years. So yeah, big pass, big pass.
Speaker 2: Coming in at tenth with the mainly Seagulls. I give
Speaker 2: this as a fail because I expected them to be they.
Speaker 4: Oh no, win Spain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fine, definitely. I expected the eight Big seventh
Speaker 5: the last year, tenth of this year, so they dropped
Speaker 5: through spots. But Mark Carroll apparently had a bit of
Speaker 5: a tiff with the daily chair Evans, because he reckons
Speaker 5: the announcement that he did during that period disrupted the team,
Speaker 5: and they reckons it because.
Speaker 2: Of the I don't disagree because because it's one thing.
Speaker 2: If you look at Paramatta, for example, Dylan Brown in
Speaker 2: the first round of the season announced that he was
Speaker 2: going to Newcastle. There was a bit of hoopla and
Speaker 2: then it was just forgotten about and everyone got on
Speaker 2: with it. When Jerry Evans did that, he left everyone
Speaker 2: hanging by by not clarifying what he was doing. And
Speaker 2: even though it's no one's business, I just think when
Speaker 2: you when you go yet, look, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: be here next year because I'm I'm going to the roosters,
Speaker 2: which everyone knows. Right, it just settles it and you
Speaker 2: can just leave it behind and move forward. But they've
Speaker 2: had that all year.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: It's probably a better distraction to some point.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't think he's the most disruptive player in the
Speaker 4: in the league.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you're the captain, it doesn't help. Yeah,
Speaker 2: your in the backyard, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think the Eagles, I don't know,
Speaker 4: like they're a good team, but they're kind of they
Speaker 4: don't really inspire me, like they've got a good team,
Speaker 4: but I just I don't know, I don't really see
Speaker 4: much from them, Like love DCE. They've had a few
Speaker 4: decent players. If you guys caught the game on the weekend,
Speaker 4: they had like a fair few players get out as well.
Speaker 4: They should have been in the eighth.
Speaker 2: But I'm a fan of DC as well. But he's
Speaker 2: had a few complete shockers this season. Very unusual to yeah,
Speaker 2: unlike him. And again, off, if you look at in
Speaker 2: my lifetime over the last four decades, this is the
Speaker 2: team that's probably been most consistently in the in the
Speaker 2: semi finals a year after year after year mainly have
Speaker 2: always been there always. Yeah, it's a definite fil for me.
Speaker 1: Big foil for me and Nicola. And look, they're missing
Speaker 1: a few they're missing a few forwards more more than
Speaker 1: than anything. And maybe some some superstars who we perceive
Speaker 1: as superstars are possibly not superstars because the media tells us,
Speaker 1: especially three brothers there, that there, you know, God's gift
Speaker 1: to rugby league. Maybe then maybe they're not. Maybe they're not.
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, I've been hearing about this
Speaker 1: DC thing, d C thing order and you know what,
Speaker 1: there must be some truth. But I'm going to say
Speaker 1: it again, Tom Blue in the face. If one player
Speaker 1: can disrupt a whole club like that, because it's not
Speaker 1: a galvan it's not a gallant thing. I mean, players
Speaker 1: move on all the time. I think they should look
Speaker 1: at the coach or the management. That's what I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well Reynolds has been out for a while, we're fine.
Speaker 2: Like one order goes for another, you know, like look
Speaker 2: at what happened when he lefts when South didn't want
Speaker 2: to resign him. Had a similar season when else and
Speaker 2: they're still.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a team should be able to survive movement,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, of course, of course it's normal in today's game, fail,
Speaker 2: but well fail coming in eleventh with the Eels, my mob,
Speaker 2: I'm going to give it a pass because at halftime
Speaker 2: in round one we were losing forty six l well,
Speaker 2: so to finish eleventh.
Speaker 1: I think I forgot about that, didn't I didn't get a.
Speaker 2: Win in the first month of the season to Sydney
Speaker 2: until ten came to the Dragon's game. Ardie will never
Speaker 2: forgive me for that. And obviously Moses missed half of
Speaker 2: the season thirteen games. But but what worried me, and
Speaker 2: you might remember at the start of the season was
Speaker 2: the defense was horrible. There was no ball movement, there was,
Speaker 2: it was just But the second half of the season,
Speaker 2: it's all starting to come together and I couldn't be
Speaker 2: happier with how the last six weeks have been and
Speaker 2: how they finished. They're considering there's a mixture in the
Speaker 2: team of representative players, and there's I think six players
Speaker 2: who had the NRL debuts this year, so.
Speaker 4: I think you guys turned everyone over in the.
Speaker 2: Team but one yeah, yeah, and the amount of players
Speaker 2: that have been let go, so considering their style of
Speaker 2: play in the last four to six weeks, it's starting
Speaker 2: to excite me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely so a pass. Well, did any of us
Speaker 5: have them in the top eight to go to the
Speaker 5: top eight this year at the start? I don't think
Speaker 5: we did did we I didn't really expect them to
Speaker 5: make eight. So we can't really say it's it's a
Speaker 5: fail because we didn't really expect them to make it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: from where they were at the start of the year
Speaker 5: to where they finished as a greater treatment, I think
Speaker 5: i'd call it a pass. Yeah, But with all the turnover,
Speaker 5: like Nick said, new new coach, new systems and everything,
Speaker 5: it's it's a pass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I'll give it a big Passnik. Or because
Speaker 1: I see I see habits forming, good habits forming six
Speaker 1: weeks ago, twelve weeks ago were intent. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of intent, but clanking and the habits weren't there.
Speaker 1: They were forced. Now it just comes off second nature to.
Speaker 2: Them so well, as we all know, George, the last
Speaker 2: thing to change is the scoreboard, so when you know,
Speaker 2: and that's starting to happen as well. But yes, some
Speaker 2: of those like Isaiah YOUNGI the fullback, I mean the criticism,
Speaker 2: the criticism over criticism over letting go go, I think
Speaker 2: that's been wiped now his kids on the Superstar, And
Speaker 2: it's just some other players like Jack Williams who came
Speaker 2: from some of these players. Hook Dylan Walker, the hooker,
Speaker 2: the hooker, who Riley Smith, Who's he's been unbelievable. And
Speaker 2: since they signed tallon the silver from the Tigers, Riley
Speaker 2: Smith has gone up a notch. So you can see
Speaker 2: they're competing for spots and he's winning that battle at
Speaker 2: the moment. So a lot to look forward to it.
Speaker 2: Now they've got to full you know, they're going to
Speaker 2: have six and they've got a whole preseason too. I'm
Speaker 2: excited about this year, but I'm expecting in and around
Speaker 2: the eight and this year absolutely yep.
Speaker 5: Are you worried that with the reliance on Moses, without Moses,
Speaker 5: we'll get better? Get that's the only thing that's worryb
Speaker 5: such a huge part of that team.
Speaker 2: I am. But the good thing is we got Dean
Speaker 2: Hawkins there as well, and every time every time he
Speaker 2: played this year he did. He did really well. I
Speaker 2: think the first month he can write off because there
Speaker 2: was so much players debuting Dylan Brown's announcement the day
Speaker 2: before Game one. The first month was just horrible. But
Speaker 2: after that, every every game that Hawkins played and he
Speaker 2: did really well. And and he came over as a
Speaker 2: backup seven. So I'm not too I'm not too well,
Speaker 2: but no one does what Moses does. You saw what
Speaker 2: he did the other day. I mean, when he's on
Speaker 2: the field, that guy. His first game back was Round
Speaker 2: seven against the Tigers, and he destroyed that team in
Speaker 2: his first game back. You've got to have him on
Speaker 2: the field. He's he's going to be on the plane
Speaker 2: at the end of the season because it's not only
Speaker 2: I mean, it's you see the try scored from dummy
Speaker 2: half the other day, you know, and he assists like
Speaker 2: he's just he's just getting better and better every year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the man so, but definitely if he if he plays
Speaker 2: seventy percent of the season, I think we make the eighty.
Speaker 2: But he's becoming he's becoming more injury pro. Now he's
Speaker 2: thirty as well.
Speaker 1: You know what, he'll get better because it'll be less
Speaker 1: reliance on him as they as as the kids grow
Speaker 1: and really sink into the sink into the system.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Al let's not forget Dylan Walker the role he plays.
Speaker 5: He was super signing.
Speaker 2: He's like a third half. He's been so good, he's
Speaker 2: been so good, so he's a backup as well.
Speaker 1: Well. Jason went and got him specifically because he knows
Speaker 1: what he wants to play, so he needed another ballplayer,
Speaker 1: you know, a ball player in the forward. So it's
Speaker 1: like I say, everything is done. It's been very deliberates
Speaker 1: for him. We buy him for this reason.
Speaker 2: My only concern is Jack de Bellin is the only
Speaker 2: signing for next season. So we've we've got to have parents,
Speaker 2: got to have more money in the cap than any
Speaker 2: other team because there's just been like eleven players released,
Speaker 2: including Gilan Brown, right, so the money has to be there.
Speaker 2: I don't know who to spend it on, but there's
Speaker 2: been no other signing other than the Bellon, so I know,
Speaker 2: I know that they're using a bee chunk of that
Speaker 2: money to extend and keep a bunch of the current players.
Speaker 2: But I think we still need another middle forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe stacked stacked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, But I'd like to see
Speaker 2: some some more signings. But depends on who's available as well.
Speaker 2: You don't want to sign players for the hell of exactly.
Speaker 1: And Jason we found this year. Jason will not just
Speaker 1: sign somebody willy nilly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Bellin's are going you love you.
Speaker 1: He's very very good.
Speaker 5: I can't believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids grow so much and he's a lot
Speaker 1: of Chevy that defend the room.
Speaker 5: He's the best.
Speaker 2: He cuts be half. So finishing in twelfth with the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: to me, this is a definite fail. I expect a
Speaker 2: lot more that was club.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were top eight last year.
Speaker 4: They they're Broncos last year. They've got a great team.
Speaker 2: They had a lot of injuries, but so did everyone. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But like remember we were talking last year, like you
Speaker 4: guys were like, what's happening with Broncos, right, and like
Speaker 4: it's my old thing, Like you know, it's not necessarily
Speaker 4: the coach, it's the management. You can't have a team
Speaker 4: that has ded and Perdue Derby, Like you can't have
Speaker 4: a team like that, labor like all of them and
Speaker 4: not have.
Speaker 2: Like not reach.
Speaker 4: They like there's something.
Speaker 1: Top four drink drink water, Perdue labored Please yet let's
Speaker 1: forget McLean, you know, Tamlo Cotter no no please.
Speaker 4: But there's just a top When we get to the
Speaker 4: point when we're analyzing sometimes like obviously because I think
Speaker 4: more external, they're just like Bronks last year, like they
Speaker 4: have the team, but there's just not there's just something
Speaker 4: that's not not happening. Because when they're on there on right,
Speaker 4: like it doesn't matter if Tamal is in or not,
Speaker 4: all the other key players, but when they're on like
Speaker 4: did and took us, you know, to origin win, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, alongside obviously everyone else, but he's
Speaker 4: he's everywhere, you know.
Speaker 1: But that was that was pretty like disappointing to see that,
Speaker 1: you know what, and I think you said you said
Speaker 1: it just before tea. It's there in us in the face.
Speaker 1: What the Cowboys need? Where do you find them? They
Speaker 1: did a finishing coach. They need a coach like like
Speaker 1: Brisbane's got now, who's a finisher? Who gets who gets trophies?
Speaker 1: There's coaches. We've spoke about this over the years. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if you're prival to these conversations. There's coaches
Speaker 1: that can get you close to the eight. There's other
Speaker 1: coaches can get you world established into the eight, maybe
Speaker 1: even the top four. And there's a handful of coaches
Speaker 1: that win comps.
Speaker 4: Well, you've got Peyton that's in his last year next year.
Speaker 1: He's a finishing coach, obvious, and they.
Speaker 4: And they've got they changed over the CEO who hasn't
Speaker 4: been appointed yet as well, like he announced his retirement
Speaker 4: probably about six months ago, so you've got a bit
Speaker 4: of like uncertainty anyway in that team. But disappointing because
Speaker 4: like I was really hoping that, you know, Queenslanders have
Speaker 4: Obviously I'm biased, but we have good Out of our
Speaker 4: four we have decent teams. Actually three the Titans, but
Speaker 4: you would have thought that at least two would have
Speaker 4: made the top eight. And my pick was Cowboys. So
Speaker 4: it's it's disappointing, right, But.
Speaker 1: The problem is that Wednesay.
Speaker 5: I think he's a bit harsh on Payton because last year, right,
Speaker 5: the back line was Cole Felt Homes that lay button
Speaker 5: to a LUGGI A Lugg has missed the whole year.
Speaker 5: Homes has gone and Felt retired, so the whole back
Speaker 5: line is different, it's new. And then they had Chad
Speaker 5: Townsend as a half. He left, so all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: you've got a new half. So that's five out of
Speaker 5: the seven players change in the back line from one
Speaker 5: to seven. Five new people have come in and the
Speaker 5: young kids. Yeah, so it was it was it's a
Speaker 5: failed don't don't get me wrong. Fifth is a fail.
Speaker 5: But he's put a lot of young kids and they
Speaker 5: some games they played outstanding but then the others they
Speaker 5: just showed their immaturity and three games away the defense
Speaker 5: was just poor.
Speaker 4: I never have an issue with the coaches like, actually
Speaker 4: I don't feel like they have that Like obviously they're
Speaker 4: direct to the players, but I don't feel like that
Speaker 4: they're holistically impactful. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, do you want to hear you want to hear
Speaker 2: the impact of the coach, And this is what they're not.
Speaker 1: Sorry, they're not impactful. No, like the top four and
Speaker 1: they got the biggest chance to win the carp Yeah.
Speaker 4: But if we talk it like you know, we were
Speaker 4: talking about Titans, I talked about a lot. You can't
Speaker 4: blame Peydon. You can't blame des like if they're being
Speaker 4: told to put that player on or take that one off,
Speaker 4: because it's you.
Speaker 2: Know, you know George, I don't understand your reference. What
Speaker 2: do you mean impact?
Speaker 1: So yeah, so obviously what what Broncos needed was.
Speaker 2: Was a finishing Their last coach had him in the
Speaker 2: Grand Final two.
Speaker 5: You know you got him in the Grand Final two
Speaker 5: years ago.
Speaker 1: We said that this coach is can get you up
Speaker 1: there and close. There's the coaches can win that's away
Speaker 1: from winning.
Speaker 2: Minutes gave.
Speaker 5: The coach, He gave Penrod, He gave a bigger run
Speaker 5: for their money than the Storm last year, Paramatta House
Speaker 5: and anyone else played.
Speaker 1: Who got the ring, It doesn't matter, doesn't matter, It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not the coaching coaching. That's the players on
Speaker 2: the field or the other team doing something special. But
Speaker 2: that's not the coaching. Couple couple of thirteen minutes down
Speaker 2: to the coaching, unless you unless he made a drastic
Speaker 2: substitution or something which he didn't.
Speaker 1: Yes you can.
Speaker 2: Adam Reynolds kicking the ball out from a line dropped
Speaker 2: out on the fall, that's not coaching, coaching based experienced
Speaker 2: player in the game, but it's it's it's.
Speaker 1: All about playing the moment. Become composed, composed, and you
Speaker 1: get trained to be composed the moment.
Speaker 2: Who was signed, who was signed as a as an
Speaker 2: older player, Right, Adam Reynolds one of the most experienced
Speaker 2: players in the game. He doesn't need composure coached in
Speaker 2: it at this point, at this point in his career,
Speaker 2: he took a line dropped out in a Grand Final,
Speaker 2: kicked it out on the fall. That's not nothing to
Speaker 2: do with the coaching. You're just looking for a way
Speaker 2: to attack waters and that's wrong.
Speaker 1: No. I love Keivy.
Speaker 2: That's enough to do with the I'm a fan of
Speaker 2: keev That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Think if we're talking about the Cowboys, like, I don't
Speaker 4: think it's paytent like I think, it's just a collective.
Speaker 4: And you've got to think every team has had movement
Speaker 4: this year. Probably the only person I would shoot on
Speaker 4: in leadership is Gus called at this point, sorry.
Speaker 1: George, but I agree.
Speaker 4: I agree, you know, like like I think it's it's
Speaker 4: I think with the Cowboys, they have a great team
Speaker 4: on paper and when they're on there on, but they
Speaker 4: have like I love felt like he left, like you've
Speaker 4: had a lot of movement. You know, You've got a
Speaker 4: lot of movement up there, you know. I mean, but
Speaker 4: I was hoping they would get into the eight. I
Speaker 4: was hoping that they would.
Speaker 2: But for me, for me, and this is why I
Speaker 2: give Todd Payton a failed because for me, the coaching
Speaker 2: has judged over a period of time, not over a moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah what he's year five now.
Speaker 2: But they did have again, like a lot of other teams,
Speaker 2: they had a lot of key injuries as well, you
Speaker 2: know every again, like I said, most teams did. But yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: for me, it's a fail. Thirteenth West Tigers, that's definitely
Speaker 2: a fail. What was It's a fail anyway you look
Speaker 2: at it because because you know, Para debuted six players
Speaker 2: this season and the Tigers have signed six premiership winners
Speaker 2: and we're still finished in front of them. So something's
Speaker 2: like going right at that club. Obviously.
Speaker 4: I know you know I said this about Raiders last year,
Speaker 4: not to say that Tigers will get to Raiders level
Speaker 4: next year, but Tigers have a different type of vibe
Speaker 4: at the moment.
Speaker 2: Jerome Leui took him from sixteen to thirty, so it's
Speaker 2: a massive improvement there.
Speaker 5: Seventeenth, I'll be seventeenth, sorry four spots. Even Para went
Speaker 5: from fifteenth to eleventh four spots, but back made the
Speaker 5: same improvement four spots.
Speaker 4: I don't feel Tigers will be a next year. I
Speaker 4: think they'll they'll be quite different.
Speaker 2: So for me, I think your big part of it
Speaker 2: is the coach.
Speaker 5: I'll give him a pass. I disagree with you because
Speaker 5: I thought got him from last his first year last
Speaker 5: year came in when Tim Shones left him a shithole
Speaker 5: and he had to sort of coach the last few.
Speaker 5: But this is his first year with an off season.
Speaker 5: He had the Galvin debarcle. Galvin's playing a lot better
Speaker 5: under what's his name, Seraldo, isn't he? He was playing
Speaker 5: pretty good under Benji. How's he gone under Serroaldo? Maybe
Speaker 5: maybe he should have stayed at the Tigers.
Speaker 2: Benji also has some very high profile signings may Brothers,
Speaker 2: Jerome Leuai. Yeah, he had. He had a lot of
Speaker 2: talent injected into the team this season, and I don't
Speaker 2: think it's a great improvement at all.
Speaker 5: They're going quite well until the Dogs went and got Galvin,
Speaker 5: because up until then, right they run around the eight,
Speaker 5: and then that took their one of their players, their
Speaker 5: key strike player, like they had Luai and Matt who
Speaker 5: played the whole off season together.
Speaker 2: The Dogs didn't take him.
Speaker 5: He left, and it disrupted the whole thing. You've got
Speaker 5: a whole off season when you're training your spine to
Speaker 5: do this, this, this, and all of a sudden it
Speaker 5: goes and then you've got to bring in a kid
Speaker 5: that has never played and it's just a mess. It's
Speaker 5: just and I thought he recovered actually they.
Speaker 2: Actually performed better with the al him for the next
Speaker 2: few weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't feel like it's Benji's fault. No, I
Speaker 4: don't think I maintained that it's never solely the coach's fault.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's player managers in there. I feel
Speaker 4: like there's a lot of stuff going on. I feel
Speaker 4: like I feel like the Tigers will be higher next year,
Speaker 4: and I'm all for underdogs, right. I thought, actually they
Speaker 4: would take the spring.
Speaker 5: We'll see that. From last two weeks, agother a chance
Speaker 5: of mathematical chance of eight. So from last to get
Speaker 5: to that plat position in two weeks to the end
Speaker 5: of the season's that's an improvement. Yeah, from last year
Speaker 5: to this year, it's an improvement.
Speaker 2: In the last two weeks, they did the same thing.
Speaker 2: They had a match winning lead with ten to twelve
Speaker 2: minutes to go and they lost.
Speaker 5: And I clocked off.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, Ali, I've got a question for you because
Speaker 2: I asked this question while you were over seas. This
Speaker 2: is why I believe Benji's not the right guy for
Speaker 2: the job. When Andy was sitting in that chair, obviously
Speaker 2: he's a Tiger's fan, and I'd like to get your opinion.
Speaker 2: If Benji's not coaching the West Tigers, do you think
Speaker 2: he's coaching another club?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: No, then he's not the coach. He's not the guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's not a career coach. If that's the case,
Speaker 2: then he's not he's not the guy.
Speaker 5: Too ely to call. It's too early to call. It's
Speaker 5: his first year and he's already improved from last to thirteenth,
Speaker 5: so that's already.
Speaker 2: It's one. Technically technically his third year, because he was
Speaker 2: he was the year before last. He was he had
Speaker 2: the rains last year, took over the reins.
Speaker 5: Last and in the they sacked Tim Sheen's because it
Speaker 5: was all going the ship and no one will take us,
Speaker 5: so they just gave it to him. He was sort
Speaker 5: of like throwing the team.
Speaker 2: And it hasn't improved much in a year and a half.
Speaker 5: From seventeenth to so they went.
Speaker 2: On for considering the talent they've brought in that they
Speaker 2: also lost talent. Take those players out they were to
Speaker 2: finish where they did. You know, he scored one try
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 4: So that's but you also have Bennett who's very experienced
Speaker 4: exactly eighteenth man three rounds.
Speaker 2: Ago, but don't you pay Bennett to Benji.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm not his first time.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, if you have, if you have
Speaker 4: people like do we say is bad? We are we
Speaker 4: going to shoot on Josh harn next year because he's young.
Speaker 4: Coaches as well, Like I think, I think it's a
Speaker 4: complete collective. I think it's good. They went through an
Speaker 4: absolute ship storm. It was they are the team that
Speaker 4: copped it the most.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't understand why because a player left.
Speaker 5: I agree disrupt that we just said before hal DC
Speaker 5: caused disruption because of his It was just the same.
Speaker 5: It was disruption with this whole Gallvant thing. They were
Speaker 5: in the press every day. They were just terrible for
Speaker 5: the players. And then the players had to turn on
Speaker 5: him because I was just pissed off because he threw
Speaker 5: the coach under the bus. Apparently, you guys.
Speaker 2: Don't think some of the big names at the Tigers
Speaker 2: underperformed this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we I don't have a buyers towards.
Speaker 2: Do I don't either. I'm pointing at fact, No I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't, but you don't. Everyone seems to forget everyone
Speaker 2: seems to this team everyone always gives excuses as to
Speaker 2: why they're not doing well, and it's bullshit. Right, this
Speaker 2: team's got six premiership winning players in that team for
Speaker 2: the first team.
Speaker 4: Right, The Panthers have won the premiership multiple years and
Speaker 4: and we're congratulating them for getting seven.
Speaker 2: Thanks for proving my points.
Speaker 5: Galvin playing next to Lewis and he looked pretty good.
Speaker 5: How's he going now next to Burton? Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 5: how's he going about? It's a better term, but how's
Speaker 5: he going? Bene obviously knows how to coach better than
Speaker 5: Sorolla by the looks of things, because he's called Galvin
Speaker 5: played better than played better at the Tigers than he is.
Speaker 2: At the Canterbury So that's that's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: That is, It's not how's he playing now? How's Galvin
Speaker 5: playing now?
Speaker 2: He had a couple of won a game for the
Speaker 2: Bulldogs a few weeks ago against the Dragons.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could play against the Dragons game. Yeah, Honestly,
Speaker 5: I don't know. Georgia would know more. Your Bulldogs fan,
Speaker 5: are you're happy with Galvin?
Speaker 2: Do you reckon?
Speaker 5: He's playing better than he was at the Tigers.
Speaker 1: At the Bulldogs, it's a different can't. You can't compare.
Speaker 2: But he's also he's seven. The Bulldogs have got him
Speaker 2: at half back and he's a five eight. Right, that's
Speaker 2: what everyone forgets as well. He's not a half back.
Speaker 2: He's not half back.
Speaker 4: And I think without removing like you know, if I
Speaker 4: was like, is my version of Nick's Tigers is Titans?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: You have a really great team in there. There's lots
Speaker 4: of controversy in there. But I think for what the
Speaker 4: Tigers had to go through with Moses picking like a
Speaker 4: feral vulture through that team, like absolutely gasping, absolutely obnoxiously.
Speaker 2: But that's that's my problem for me. That's all bullshit.
Speaker 2: And this is what I don't have a bias towards
Speaker 2: the Tigers. I have a bias against the bullshit people
Speaker 2: keep coming up with to excuse them. And you've got
Speaker 2: to you've got to pull that back and say, this
Speaker 2: club has not made the finals in fourteen years, right,
Speaker 2: There isn't there's a there's a there's an overarching reason
Speaker 2: for that. It's not the bullshit that everyone keeps picking
Speaker 2: at that.
Speaker 5: You know, the Paramot doesn't want to a Grand final
Speaker 5: this century, and every other Sydney club has the Tigers
Speaker 5: are one one, the Dragons won one, Cronullas one one,
Speaker 5: everyone else but parabm one one thirty something years. So
Speaker 5: why haven't they got a problem and the Tigers have Well,
Speaker 5: Tigers haven't won for fourteen years and the parent since eighty.
Speaker 2: Four, because because we've been more consistent, we've been in
Speaker 2: the finals a lot of times this century and they haven't.
Speaker 5: Well, Tiger's win in one final this whole century and
Speaker 5: they won it. Paramatter has winning three and they've lost three.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know, Tigers.
Speaker 1: Have you got a better record over all the century.
Speaker 5: In the final?
Speaker 2: At least we've been in three.
Speaker 1: Do you think from from last year to this year
Speaker 1: they've improved?
Speaker 2: No, Well, the table they end up last year, they've
Speaker 2: improved three spots, but look at the look at the
Speaker 2: buyer turnover that they've gone. They should be a lot
Speaker 2: better than that. Okay, okay, And in Jerome's in Jerame
Speaker 2: Louise words, if I was he last year, we would
Speaker 2: have been in the eight.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's ludicrous. But I think they've improved from
Speaker 1: one year to the other, and next years the one,
Speaker 1: next year next he's the one.
Speaker 4: Yet I feel like they've done well. I don't think
Speaker 4: the answer, like I don't know in this snow, like
Speaker 4: if Benji was to leave, like I probably wouldn't replace
Speaker 4: him with Hasler or Paydon or anyone else, like I think,
Speaker 4: you know, he's doing the best he can and that's
Speaker 4: what I see, and it's good to see them get better,
Speaker 4: Like I think that's that's probably they've probably copped the
Speaker 4: most from a team and that's been coming from a
Speaker 4: Bronco supporter, and it will be interesting to see. I
Speaker 4: think next year will be very different.
Speaker 2: To happen, just like I mean, I don't care how
Speaker 2: you spin it, and yeah, yeah, Adie're right. Para haven't
Speaker 2: won a Grand Final and a few other teams have
Speaker 2: won one Grand Final in the last thirty years, but
Speaker 2: this team hasn't made the Semis in fourteen years in
Speaker 2: a comp where half the team makes the Semis. So
Speaker 2: if you think that's a past mark for me, that's.
Speaker 5: What I'm saying. This year is last mark. I'm not
Speaker 5: saying there in general, but this this year.
Speaker 2: Is a plastmark. Yeah I disagree, that's my opinion.
Speaker 5: That's fair enough, mate, Who's thanks Rabbit, Rabbit.
Speaker 2: Rabbit to fail for me for sure, lots of.
Speaker 1: Last year.
Speaker 5: What last year they did.
Speaker 1: Close to well?
Speaker 4: Bennett came in Ji Gray to make way for King
Speaker 4: Latrell utilized more.
Speaker 1: He will though, I'm sure you will be.
Speaker 5: Do you think the loss of Cameron Murray and Latroll
Speaker 5: most of the year impacted them a lot?
Speaker 1: You think I think four of injuries.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had a lot of injuries. But yeah, like
Speaker 5: Nick said, every time that had injuries, he can't look
Speaker 5: at that every time, you know.
Speaker 4: I had this thought, like what if Bennett's actually losing it?
Speaker 4: I had this thought where I was like when he
Speaker 4: didn't have an eighteenth man, Like, can I say Ashton
Speaker 4: Ward amazing? Poor kid? Every time he plays, everyone's like, god,
Speaker 4: he needs a steak, but he is. He is brilliant,
Speaker 4: like he is.
Speaker 5: Very I got a question killing killing j we didn't
Speaker 5: go for Flanning and any.
Speaker 2: Question for you? Yeah you said it was of three finals.
Speaker 2: I mean, did the Dragons lose before they wanted to.
Speaker 5: Sentry this century?
Speaker 2: How did they lose before they were merging?
Speaker 5: Since the merger?
Speaker 2: How did they lose before they won? Twenty ten?
Speaker 5: Which one Saint Georgia Laurel Or Saint George because they
Speaker 5: became to Georgia laure Club. So they lost the one
Speaker 5: and the.
Speaker 2: Lost four Grand finals before twenty ten, was it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they weren't living in a row, so they
Speaker 5: made up.
Speaker 2: Question, can you.
Speaker 4: Focus all your attention on the Titans and just make
Speaker 4: me happy during these podcasts?
Speaker 5: Titans Dragon Raber.
Speaker 1: It's a fail.
Speaker 5: It's a fail, even though they went up a couple
Speaker 5: of spots. It's a fil.
Speaker 4: No should just stuck it out with Dolphins or any
Speaker 4: other team.
Speaker 5: It's a good question. It's a good question. Tenyre raise
Speaker 5: that has been lost a he just starts sort of loss.
Speaker 2: I reckon all the older coaches have I think the
Speaker 2: coaches taken over.
Speaker 1: So yeah, what Nick saying is true. The game has
Speaker 1: evolved and and some like the older coaches are still
Speaker 1: holding holding on, holding on. But the games evolving, so
Speaker 1: paramount of fragments like has changed the style of of
Speaker 1: what they what they're how they're playing, Soreldo changed.
Speaker 5: Bellamy Cleary, would you classify clearly as a younger coach
Speaker 5: or an older coach?
Speaker 1: On the younger one younger? But it's a different system again.
Speaker 5: And what do you classify the older coaches your one
Speaker 5: Flanagan and McGuire Flanagan, what about maguire McGuire.
Speaker 2: No, I have McGuire around the having around the Cleary Cleary,
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but kind of in between. Bellam is the
Speaker 2: exception for me.
Speaker 5: Twenty year is well, the top two teams of old coaches,
Speaker 5: it's Ricky and Bellamy. So yeah, yeah the Grand Final?
Speaker 4: Is it that they're old coaches or that the most
Speaker 4: consistent with their team? Because Ricky has been and obviously Bellamy's.
Speaker 2: Well, Ricky's Ricky won a Grand Final in his first season.
Speaker 2: He's never won one since.
Speaker 4: I love Ricky Stewart, don't you know.
Speaker 2: But if you want to compare apples with apples, right,
Speaker 2: he must be shipped then, according to some of the
Speaker 2: stuff we heard earlier, So maybe he should, maybe he
Speaker 2: should give it up.
Speaker 4: If we look at the most the coaches that have
Speaker 4: stuck at in with their teams, that have been consistent
Speaker 4: and stayed with their teams, I reckon they're the ones
Speaker 4: that I got little broncos. I can't explain that, but
Speaker 4: they're like those top two. That's that's pretty telling. But yeah, Rabbits,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I actually had a genuine thought, Like
Speaker 4: when Bennett didn't have an eighteenth man like that, whatever
Speaker 4: around that was, I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 1: Have enough players that?
Speaker 4: That is absolutely insane in my.
Speaker 1: Opinion, because remember they can only use registered players, so
Speaker 1: if you're bringing from outside the outside the I think
Speaker 1: it's against the cap. So that's all they had. What
Speaker 1: else was injured?
Speaker 4: But he knows that, Like what level they're playing out right?
Speaker 1: What do you do when you you got injuries and
Speaker 1: you've got no one to play?
Speaker 2: What you did?
Speaker 4: I think his biggest trail was Gray, Like I know,
Speaker 4: Latrell whatever, I'm not a fan of la trail, but
Speaker 4: like you should have that. He should have utilized g
Speaker 4: Ji Gray a bit more.
Speaker 1: But I think he's learned his lesson. Now, I bet
Speaker 1: you an your money next year. Yeah, I will be
Speaker 1: full back.
Speaker 5: I think so too. Yeah for sure, it's easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah anyway, Yeah, So the Dragons finishing the fifteenth,
Speaker 2: for me, it's a foul.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that's the worst, disgusting, It's terrible.
Speaker 1: It's a foul.
Speaker 2: Yeah. They lost a lot of very close games.
Speaker 1: That's still Look, the only good thing I can see
Speaker 1: with the Dragons is this they've introduced some new kids,
Speaker 1: which they they look good. They look okay, so they
Speaker 1: are king tongall.
Speaker 5: Can't matter, and so did the roosters, and then they
Speaker 5: played so much better, so that's sort of an excuse.
Speaker 5: So well, the whole team.
Speaker 1: If I, if I look at Coronella, and what Coronella?
Speaker 1: He works on basement to lift the basement up first. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he tries to lift the basement first and the
Speaker 1: bottom of the border goes from bottom up and let's
Speaker 1: see what happens. I don't know. And at the end
Speaker 1: he had some stars. But let's see. It's a fail,
Speaker 1: but definitely a fail.
Speaker 5: Change the name to the Flanagans. Don't call them dragons anymore.
Speaker 5: It's to the Flanagans.
Speaker 1: It's a fail.
Speaker 5: It's a fail. Jeez.
Speaker 2: The Gold Coast Gold Coast Titans are familiar to massive foul.
Speaker 5: Did we all tip these guys to be in the
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 2: Maybe I shouldn't say it so I don't get attacked.
Speaker 2: But thanks to them winning their last game, they avoided
Speaker 2: the Spoon.
Speaker 4: Titans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't want to.
Speaker 4: Titans should be in a grade in my opinion.
Speaker 5: Great, they've got a good tea. Do you think do
Speaker 5: you think they called popa is Tina when not going
Speaker 5: to stay and all that? Do you think that I haard.
Speaker 4: Tina was going to Perth Bears. I don't know, because
Speaker 4: his brother's going to russ isn't he?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 4: Where's he was looking at it? Definitely leaving.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the you know they're all going
Speaker 1: to stay. Now when Hanne comes in Ole Isaac?
Speaker 5: Are you talking about his brother Isaac?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Isn't he going to England?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe the Cat Dragons because I remember
Speaker 5: because it said farmer silly joins Dragons and I got
Speaker 5: excited and then I didn't his brother joining the Cat
Speaker 5: I you were joking, you can get another right here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Titans just need a really like Nick when I think
Speaker 4: when you're in Melbourne. I did a very thorough overview
Speaker 4: of what I would do with Titans, which b sickly
Speaker 4: means I should just run it. But they just need
Speaker 4: to really pull their ship together and focus on on
Speaker 4: the Gold Coast influences.
Speaker 1: They talked about that two three weeks ago.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's the only reason we put Titans to
Speaker 5: be top eight because it has luck. I didn't put Yeah,
Speaker 5: but my coach is there. Does that mean we're not
Speaker 5: going to look at them as a threat next year
Speaker 5: because it is a good coach, that's what we're here. Okay,
Speaker 5: that's what we're here.
Speaker 2: But it's not a coach yet.
Speaker 5: There's exactly right. Yeah, but he's give.
Speaker 2: It takes three years to build a team. I've always
Speaker 2: said that in any sport, it takes three years to
Speaker 2: build a team. When you when you take over someone
Speaker 2: and you're stripping back and you rebuild and you change everything.
Speaker 2: It's for me, it takes three years to build a team.
Speaker 1: Takes three years.
Speaker 2: Said that, and when these and when these clubs sign,
Speaker 2: that's the biggest problem is when these clubs signed coaches.
Speaker 2: It's becoming like English and Italian soccer. When you get
Speaker 2: sacked after a month if you're not performing, you know,
Speaker 2: it's Italy. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but.
Speaker 5: He had an example a few weeks ago where the
Speaker 5: guy got sacked after a weekend, didn't he it.
Speaker 2: Was along the coach he got. He got sacked on
Speaker 2: a Friday. The caretaker lost on Sunday. He was really
Speaker 2: high on Monday. That actually happened Italy. If you look
Speaker 2: at if you look at coaching. Italy have a new coach,
Speaker 2: and they played two games over the last three days.
Speaker 2: Right they won five nil and five four beautiful? Right,
Speaker 2: mind you five four? They scored two goals. But in
Speaker 2: the first game it was and this is you want
Speaker 2: to talk about the impact of coaching the coach catus,
Speaker 2: right it was it was five neil. The other day
Speaker 2: on Saturday it was nil all halftime and you could
Speaker 2: google this. Gattuso went in the change room and slapped
Speaker 2: some of the players try and Raspadori said, yeah, it's true,
Speaker 2: you guys. I slapped in the back of the head
Speaker 2: and they came out one five.
Speaker 1: You love I love I love it already that I
Speaker 1: love you already.
Speaker 2: When when they hell of Italy ever scored ten goals
Speaker 2: in two games. I love coaching.
Speaker 5: I've got to show your clip.
Speaker 1: He is the best. I love him.
Speaker 2: I believe, I believe they do have him.
Speaker 1: I love him already. But he coached a few Where
Speaker 1: was he in Italy?
Speaker 2: Did he coach alone? He coached?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love him already.
Speaker 5: I think he coached Olympia course and he coached in Turkey.
Speaker 2: But she didn't you, I don't remember what he said
Speaker 2: in the press conference. Yeah, when he was I think
Speaker 2: it was when he was coaching Olympia. Yeah. The ship, guys,
Speaker 2: sometimes it may be good. Sometimes maybe ship.
Speaker 5: Sometimes would be good sometimes.
Speaker 1: In my life it's like.
Speaker 2: I think, I think we I think we're all going
Speaker 2: to agree that the Night's finishing last is a definite fail. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what, that club is a hot mess when
Speaker 2: you look at the roster and now the fact is
Speaker 2: that the Dylan Brown thing and Ponger. I don't know.
Speaker 2: For me, I've always said I didn't want to see
Speaker 2: Brown go. But for me, I think I think they've
Speaker 2: made a huge booboo here.
Speaker 5: They signed sand and Smith four years.
Speaker 2: No, yes, that's a good sign.
Speaker 1: How many halves they want.
Speaker 5: Well, they're going to put Crossland at hooker, Sandon Smith
Speaker 5: and this other guy what's his name. You're going to
Speaker 5: get Brown and they're going to have Fletcher back and
Speaker 5: Klum Ponger at the back.
Speaker 4: Okay, is the most overrated player in the whole Nrlaylor Ponger.
Speaker 5: Not when he's on, when he's on his injury, he's
Speaker 5: another turbo tempo ah. Yeah, but like longer term, two months,
Speaker 5: a lot of injuries.
Speaker 2: So how about we run through the results just quickly.
Speaker 2: We'll just spend the minute or two. Bronco is thirty
Speaker 2: points to fourteen over the Storm. Storm back to back
Speaker 2: losses for the first time this season, So good quick
Speaker 2: summary on this one.
Speaker 4: She talked about it for an hour. So we have
Speaker 4: this running joke if I told you Nick, But every
Speaker 4: time Meg goes to song called Broncos Losers Magic Round.
Speaker 4: She's been to like five games.
Speaker 2: She was there with me a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, everything.
Speaker 1: She's going to go this week? Did she no?
Speaker 4: But we figured out the trick. She got tickets with
Speaker 4: a massive construction group up here, and she's like, maybe
Speaker 4: if I sit in another seat and not get the tickets,
Speaker 4: maybe we'll win. They won. Manny begged her to not
Speaker 4: go because he knows about her losing street. Anyway, I
Speaker 4: picked him up from camping. He's like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: did they win? And I was like yeah. He's like, oh,
Speaker 4: I did it? Only make not go? And I was like, no,
Speaker 4: she went. He's like, Okay, her curse.
Speaker 2: Is not going.
Speaker 4: But I would probably say this was so exciting because
Speaker 4: I went to the Melbourne Broncos game last year with
Speaker 4: the guys from Jonathan Thurston Academy. And I was livid
Speaker 4: in my response to the fifty to six score or
Speaker 4: whatever that Melbourne put on us because I had remember
Speaker 4: nick I rangy. There was a guy behind me justling
Speaker 4: me and look, I like the Storm. I don't feel
Speaker 4: like they've played like well enough to you know, be
Speaker 4: where they are, Like I think they get.
Speaker 2: Like the last month has been pretty bad for them.
Speaker 4: Well, Caragan blew up. He was like, they've had eight restarts.
Speaker 2: It was three.
Speaker 4: But Storm get We all said it probably four weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Do the higher profile teams get more leniency?
Speaker 2: They do?
Speaker 4: It was very obvious that there was a bit more
Speaker 4: of our side with Storm and Storm was just not
Speaker 4: doing that well. Like it was funny because I was watching.
Speaker 2: They also lost Hughes very early on.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, of course, but how many players of Broncos lost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you look, I mean, like you see
Speaker 2: with Reynolds, when you lose your when you lose your
Speaker 2: one of your key players.
Speaker 4: It hasn't been but we if you look at every
Speaker 4: team every week, we haven't had a full stack original
Speaker 4: team consistently with us.
Speaker 2: Most most teams have had. Yeah, that probably, but I.
Speaker 4: Feel like we've adapted quite well. But it was funny
Speaker 4: because obviously the Reese Welsh toilet water thing, and everyone's like,
Speaker 4: Reese Plumbing should be the new sponsor. I don't know
Speaker 4: if you guys, you guys would know res plumbing and
Speaker 4: even Stags at the end, they were like, oh what
Speaker 4: do you think of all she And he's like, oh,
Speaker 4: my little plumber mate. He's like, maybe I need to
Speaker 4: start drinking that water. But one of the commentators was like,
Speaker 4: he's turning the toilet water into wine.
Speaker 2: It's funny. Any plumber that you know will tell you
Speaker 2: that those toilets are always used before they're installed, but
Speaker 2: or just after they're installed.
Speaker 4: I think people in Africa would be very happy to
Speaker 4: drink our toilet work water versus the water that they're
Speaker 4: drinking over there. We are very clean toilet water. But anyway,
Speaker 4: but yeah, no, I thought I thought it was brilliant.
Speaker 4: I thought it was It was a really insane game.
Speaker 4: It's that Queenslander thing that George talks about. That that's
Speaker 4: it in motion, because everyone what was it order one
Speaker 4: that we won't that we weren't going to win, and
Speaker 4: it's a different kind of vibe.
Speaker 2: Let's just move on.
Speaker 5: I just want to say one thing. After we didn't
Speaker 5: do the pod last week, but after last week, Russ
Speaker 5: has put forty on them in one half, and I thought,
Speaker 5: imagine what Bellamy's going to do on my training So
Speaker 5: everyone thought Storm was a lock. They were going to
Speaker 5: beat the Broncos no matter what. No one saw it coming.
Speaker 5: Honestly did anyone, Like.
Speaker 2: I said, it's the first time we've lost back to back.
Speaker 5: It's just unbelievable. Imagine the training sessions this week would
Speaker 5: have been double there for you.
Speaker 2: So they don't have used, they don't have Pappenhaus and
Speaker 2: they don't have Solomona this week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that wasn't even he was present on the field,
Speaker 4: but he was not there last week. But I said
Speaker 4: to Nick, I have never I saw Bellamy smiling. And
Speaker 4: I said, I've never seen anything that has chilled me
Speaker 4: to my bones.
Speaker 2: I think Jerome Houston, he's played for ten minutes in
Speaker 2: the last six weeks or something. He shouldn't have come back.
Speaker 5: They shouldn't have. Yeah, they rushed him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sea was twenty seven, Warriors twenty six. Jeez, the
Speaker 2: Warriors are fall off a cliff haven't it.
Speaker 5: Big time, big time?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but James Fisher Harris scored a record the record.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean seven seconds something for that. But it
Speaker 5: was good to mainly win for DC his last game
Speaker 5: and the way they won DC kicking a field goal
Speaker 5: and then that field ended up being the difference, So
Speaker 5: it was good for DC for the players. But yeah,
Speaker 5: blood of a game. Warriors are falling off a cliff.
Speaker 5: Like Nico said, Man, I don't know what's happening with them.
Speaker 5: They've lost their best players, They've lost Barnett and the injuries. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: but still every time's lost players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it's like again, like they lost
Speaker 2: what's their half beast name, Metcalf. Yeah, so you know
Speaker 2: we can't underestimate Melbourne losing Hughes as well.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big thing. But like you said, every club,
Speaker 2: every club is affected at this somebody year. Roosters thirty
Speaker 2: six six over the Rabbits. That was pretty predictable, I.
Speaker 5: Think, yeah, I think, so it's only gonna be one winner.
Speaker 2: Risters have been playing really well.
Speaker 5: We're going to call the Quantus guy Highlight reel human
Speaker 5: highlight rule. Every game, the guy does something that's bloody.
Speaker 2: See the two tries against PARAMOUNTA did you have freaky freaky?
Speaker 5: Every week he does something freaking freakish.
Speaker 1: It's the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's got twenty two tries or something
Speaker 2: this year, isn't he?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mickey Mark, Yeah, human highlight reel freakish. She's the best.
Speaker 4: I did not see, but over the weekend I did
Speaker 4: obviously during that.
Speaker 5: He's a lock for daly m. Honestly, he's been outstanding,
Speaker 5: a very game I think I think telling him up, Yeah.
Speaker 2: For sure, has had probably the best season I can
Speaker 2: remember him.
Speaker 5: Having to agreement his first years captain, which.
Speaker 2: Makes it makes it no, but it makes it pretty
Speaker 2: silly when you think about he didn't origin Yeah no,
Speaker 2: but yeah, the Rabbits will be glad to he is over.
Speaker 2: I think they were probably the heaviest, most impacted teams
Speaker 2: through injury, weren't they there, So they'll be glad that
Speaker 2: she's over. I don't know why you'd bring Cameron Murray
Speaker 2: back for one game, but you sort of rested him
Speaker 2: for next year.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he wanted to wanted to come, wanted Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to play.
Speaker 2: Says a lot about him, doesn't it Dragon's Panthers forty
Speaker 2: points to twenty. Yeah. Again, this doesn't surprise me because
Speaker 2: in the last game of the season, when you've got
Speaker 2: a team that's got nothing to play for, and then
Speaker 2: when you've got a team who's getting ready for the Semis,
Speaker 2: got to be hard to get up for these games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a training run for the Panthers. Honestly,
Speaker 5: it was nothing. They rested all their players against the
Speaker 5: Bulldogs to play this one because I was worried about them,
Speaker 5: But it was It was hard watch. It was a
Speaker 5: hard watch. Penrith just looked like I was just going
Speaker 5: through drills.
Speaker 1: They'll running.
Speaker 4: But also carle Flin again played twenty four hours after
Speaker 4: his child was born. I think that was a good thing.
Speaker 1: Good good boy, can't Yeah, and they're.
Speaker 4: Really missing homes right, we know, like homes is such
Speaker 4: a decent player missing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're missing everyone, everybody missing anything.
Speaker 4: I'm shocked about the Titans winning.
Speaker 5: I can't even talk.
Speaker 4: I can't even believe people turned up.
Speaker 2: So that was that was That was history of repeating
Speaker 2: the same thing happened the week before? Am I wrong? No, No,
Speaker 2: don't give me that face. Am I wrong?
Speaker 1: What happened.
Speaker 2: Everyone gets everyone gets shitty at me for pointing out
Speaker 2: the facts. The facts are they had a match winning
Speaker 2: lead with twelve thirty minutes to go and they shipped
Speaker 2: the bet Again, am I wrong?
Speaker 5: They didn't score any points in the second half of
Speaker 5: the Tigers I were twenty eight twelve up and then
Speaker 5: they just put the Q in the rack and did nothing.
Speaker 2: And then people wonder why I criticized end of the year.
Speaker 2: By the way, the Tiger's n ROLW team is about
Speaker 2: to get the second spoon in a row as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah they Yeah, par.
Speaker 5: I didn't even know that from the camp.
Speaker 1: Yeah last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was something we needed because it was just
Speaker 2: it was really nice to see Desi and Foreign finished
Speaker 2: the rest.
Speaker 1: That was the best part of that game. Yeah, besides
Speaker 1: a bit of fun on the on the field and
Speaker 1: the fullback whatever his name is, it will say good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The best part of what we're seeing Dessi and Foreign.
Speaker 2: George is the course for Concern four down to the Sharks.
Speaker 2: But you had a similar situation last season too, right,
Speaker 2: and we all know the comp starts in September.
Speaker 1: It does, it does, But I've seen you know, I
Speaker 1: talk about habits all the time, because I really believe
Speaker 1: in them, and I've seen some habits four minutes in
Speaker 1: the Dogs. And everybody talks about the great defense, but
Speaker 1: when you haven't got a middle, and and if if
Speaker 1: Kronela can crush our middles, god help us what the
Speaker 1: other other good teams can do? And this has got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Galvin. If you're not going forward
Speaker 1: and no, but he.
Speaker 2: Has definitely had an impact since he's I mean, some
Speaker 2: of those kicks the other night were horrible.
Speaker 5: Terrible, terrible, Yeah, absolutely terrible.
Speaker 2: But but I think I think you know and I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't say it's Notny's fault. He's out there playing,
Speaker 2: But I think this kid was thrust into the limelight
Speaker 2: in a position that he doesn't play in a club
Speaker 2: that was coming first, so much expectation. And Phil good
Speaker 2: who Gordon Tallis actually said the other night on three sixty,
Speaker 2: which was a really good point. He said, when I
Speaker 2: when I debuted for Origin in the in the media,
Speaker 2: Phil Goold said that I was a bench player. He
Speaker 2: has that affected me. It motivated me, but it affected me.
Speaker 2: He goes on the flip side. If he tells me
Speaker 2: I'm the best teenager he's ever seen. I'm under more
Speaker 2: pressure than ever. Yeah, and that might be backfiring on
Speaker 2: Galvin at the moment.
Speaker 1: If you really want well, I actually think about Canterbury
Speaker 1: and you know we've talked about it, you know, because
Speaker 1: Phil Goore has had this idea that Galban is going
Speaker 1: to be in a mortal and he did what he
Speaker 1: did and we know what he did to get him over. Well,
Speaker 1: I think the chickens have come to to Russ. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if he's if he's that, if he's that
Speaker 1: pope of kid that we think he is. Now, only
Speaker 1: time will tell us if he is, and he could
Speaker 1: become a mortal. But write this right this moment, Nicole,
Speaker 1: right this moment. Before he came on board, we were
Speaker 1: we were coming first or second, and they had they
Speaker 1: had a style worked out. And then you've brought a
Speaker 1: kid asking him to play into a system because Bulldogs
Speaker 1: are a system based.
Speaker 2: In a position, in a position he's never played, they.
Speaker 1: Never played before, and they're asking him to run Toby's lines.
Speaker 1: So it's not do you it's no, no, you do
Speaker 1: what we tell you to do. Well, the kid will
Speaker 1: take you know, A couple of years to learn.
Speaker 4: I don't feel like the Dogs are better. I don't
Speaker 4: feel like the Sharks are better than the Dogs. I
Speaker 4: reckon they have a sweet draw, but like the Sharks
Speaker 4: had but I.
Speaker 5: Played well, they played well, they played will they played Yeah.
Speaker 4: But like I wouldn't say that particularly don't. I don't
Speaker 4: feel like they should.
Speaker 2: I think the Bulldogs are a better team than what
Speaker 2: we saw the other night. But in my opinion, in
Speaker 2: my opinion, I think the Galvin judgment needs to happen
Speaker 2: this time next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, next year. Yeah, yes, absolutely, be fair. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's what I said that. But what they're asking him
Speaker 1: to do now is really unfair.
Speaker 2: Because I think he, you know, for a kid who
Speaker 2: decided he wanted to leave the club he was at,
Speaker 2: I've never seen that much hoopla around the situation like
Speaker 2: that before and then and then with getting him over
Speaker 2: to the Bulldogs, he was really thrust into the limelight
Speaker 2: in a team. It's different when the team's not at
Speaker 2: the top of the table, you know, but to be
Speaker 2: put in that position, a team that's that's coming first
Speaker 2: or second, in a position you're not familiar with, yea,
Speaker 2: go for it, you know, it's really tough.
Speaker 4: Absolutely no decision's decision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. The chickens come to rusts
Speaker 1: and and and this is what Galvin wanted. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: always said he wanted out. He said he wanted out, and.
Speaker 4: He said that Yah's true unsafe, and Gus back to
Speaker 4: him and his player manager backed him, and he made
Speaker 4: the decision.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted.
Speaker 2: And I believe that it's all going to work out well.
Speaker 2: But I just think we should give it another twelve months.
Speaker 1: And yeah, another season will see, but this year, like
Speaker 1: I said, unless something miraculously changes in the next fortnight,
Speaker 1: we're probably uh to and and and on the way
Speaker 1: to mad Monday.
Speaker 2: You know, by the way, SERERLDO and Gus both extended
Speaker 2: to twenty thirty one. Yes, did you say that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I left that.
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: I'd be happy if I was a dog support.
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 5: Just my two cents on this game, right. I found
Speaker 5: this game really interesting because I found like both coaches
Speaker 5: were out there to treat this game as a rehearsal.
Speaker 5: They put two strong teams. I didn't rest I didn't
Speaker 5: rest strong teams. And credit to Coronala I reckon this
Speaker 5: is the best of look going into a final series.
Speaker 5: I Thinkna needed this game like Salda. If Seraldo won
Speaker 5: this game, well fits he won this game like they
Speaker 5: would have gone into the finals with that extra confidence.
Speaker 5: And I think Fitzi needed this just as much as
Speaker 5: Sarraa did. He got the chocolates. Dogs lost Sherry early too.
Speaker 5: Don't forget they lost Sherry so that was a big loss.
Speaker 2: And credit and so we talked about talking about pappen
Speaker 2: House and Hughes in Solomona, Well the Bulldogs won't have
Speaker 2: her and Montoya.
Speaker 5: Credit to the Sharks. I thought they played really well.
Speaker 5: Nicko Hines was really really good, came in an lead
Speaker 5: at halftime. It wasn't an accident, it was because they
Speaker 5: played well kind of. Tracy made a couple of errors.
Speaker 5: He didn't have his best game.
Speaker 2: But does everyone does everyone agree that with Niko Hines
Speaker 2: that was not a hip drop tackle? Yeah? That was
Speaker 2: that was That was That was ridiculous that it was
Speaker 2: even considered that to be in with But.
Speaker 1: What about lose his legs?
Speaker 5: No, but what about the changing of the grading like
Speaker 5: do you agree with the process that happened over the weekend.
Speaker 2: I thought, I agree. I mean, look, it's it's in
Speaker 2: their code that they can always review and change something, right.
Speaker 2: I think it was common sense played out. That wasn't
Speaker 2: a hip drop tackle.
Speaker 5: It wasn't at all, but it definitely right. But I've
Speaker 5: never heard it before where a doctor send his report
Speaker 5: to the MSc and they said, oh, no, he hasn't
Speaker 5: got a serious injury, so we're going to change the grading.
Speaker 5: That's the first time I've ever heard that.
Speaker 2: I've always said that I don't believe the injury should
Speaker 2: reflect the incident, you know, because injuries can happen when
Speaker 2: no one's tackling you. You can do an ankle or something,
Speaker 2: you know. I don't like it when they peir up
Speaker 2: the injury with the tackle. I've never liked that. I
Speaker 2: just think common sense prevailed because that was not a
Speaker 2: hip drop at all.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but at this time of the year, I
Speaker 4: had one of the commentators say, I think it was
Speaker 4: during the Melbourne Broncos game. They were like, refs are
Speaker 4: getting a bit more relaxed as it's coming into finals.
Speaker 4: But it's very confusing, right because it's like these poor
Speaker 4: players are trying to figure out, like you almost see
Speaker 4: them and they kind of look at the reft to go,
Speaker 4: what's that going to be called this time?
Speaker 2: Like I say, like if you look at intent to
Speaker 2: answer your question already. Now I've not seen that before,
Speaker 2: but but I think we all saw a week before
Speaker 2: with the buzz Rothfield Stephen Krichn needs Yeah, exactly where
Speaker 2: when he wrote an article that had a charge upgraded.
Speaker 2: If you compare the two, whatever Steve Crichton was doing,
Speaker 2: I have no idea it was intent. It was intentional.
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was trying to do with
Speaker 2: his face off. I don't know. But the hindsackle was nothing.
Speaker 5: It was nothing, absolutely, But yeah, I just find it
Speaker 5: strange how that happened.
Speaker 2: That was just I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just hope next year we don't see these weird
Speaker 5: incidents where the must see make a call and then
Speaker 5: a medical comes in. It's like, can everyone Corona have
Speaker 5: a good team to beat roosters, So let's let Nico heines,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. It's like that's what that's
Speaker 5: what some people are saying.
Speaker 2: How many times have you seen in like a week
Speaker 2: before the origin teams announced, or actually on origin where
Speaker 2: something has happened and they make a ruling the same night,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, just just say everything's cleared
Speaker 2: up for the next game, exactly. No, but yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: Dolphins sixty two twenty four over the Raiders. I didn't
Speaker 2: see this one, but Tam was keeping me updated on
Speaker 2: it because I was on my way to Paramount of Stadium.
Speaker 2: Every five seconds did the Raiders rest plays? They must?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But also so nice for the Dolphins, Like I was
Speaker 4: looking at stats before, Dolphins had the most points, like
Speaker 4: they're like Jermaine's the highest point score, they're the.
Speaker 5: Most tries, they've scored the most points and the most
Speaker 5: goals for the.
Speaker 4: Year like they are. And it's so disappointing because they
Speaker 4: had a really good run, like and I think Bolls
Speaker 4: done really well and they had bust out, you know,
Speaker 4: her be out like they've had a CONFUSI is always.
Speaker 5: In court, right, But I think that Cyclones at the beginning, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you know what.
Speaker 4: They're fourth here we see them as baby Broncos.
Speaker 2: I think this This was nice for me, really happy
Speaker 2: at some point. I think being next year we're going
Speaker 2: to take the training wheels off.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're ready, They're ready, I think, if I'm
Speaker 1: not wrong, the Q Cup is in the prelim this
Speaker 1: week this week.
Speaker 5: You know what, I think, Christian Wolf is one of
Speaker 5: those most underrated coaches in the aal at the moment
Speaker 5: everyone's talking about But I reckon this kid. This guy's
Speaker 5: a good coach. He's going to be very He won
Speaker 5: three SUPERLA talks about him much as much as others,
Speaker 5: So I think he's done.
Speaker 1: Really do they do? They talk about him in Queensland
Speaker 1: much of a thing? Is it a sidny thing? We
Speaker 1: don't talk about him?
Speaker 4: No, it's not that.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 4: I think the general consensus is people don't necessarily take
Speaker 4: like because we're very very much Broncos, like particularly like
Speaker 4: Sonny Coast Down. But I think the Dolphins are getting
Speaker 4: like a lot of hype. The area that the Dolphins
Speaker 4: are in is a very unique part of Queensland, a
Speaker 4: little bit Bogan, very Oh. But I think I think,
Speaker 4: you know, probably what I get is I obviously get
Speaker 4: a lot of NL feedback as well, but I think
Speaker 4: maybe like people are very still staunchly Broncos or cowboys,
Speaker 4: you know, And and I think he's he's getting a
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of reception up here. But you know,
Speaker 4: they're building their team, they're doing their marketing. We'll probably
Speaker 4: see the same with Perth Bears. I think it'd be
Speaker 4: harder for Perth anyway. But yeah, no, they're getting they're
Speaker 4: getting good runs too.
Speaker 2: But no, it was it was.
Speaker 4: It was great, Like it was such a it was good.
Speaker 4: And you know what, like the Raiders juniors that they
Speaker 4: put in, it's good for them to get a bit
Speaker 4: of experience of what that's like as well. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a good game.
Speaker 2: Nick. I was this. He was sixty six to ten
Speaker 2: over the nights. One thing I'm happy about was that
Speaker 2: they didn't take the foot off the pedal. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we saw some real classic footy, even though it was
Speaker 2: against the team that finished last. I was very happy
Speaker 2: with the performance.
Speaker 4: I was saying to Nick. So, Cory and I were
Speaker 4: at the pub and we were watching the footy and
Speaker 4: we just like, because it's me, I just started talking
Speaker 4: to this old boy with that was sitting near us.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm really nervous about the next game. I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, who do you go for? And he's
Speaker 4: like the Knights and I was like, oh, I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: one of my really good meets going for the Eels,
Speaker 4: And it was like the whole time we were there,
Speaker 4: I was sitting there and like the Eels just you know,
Speaker 4: Moses did this hat trick and I kind of was like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's okay, you know, like the Knights are going to
Speaker 4: get there, and just every trial I was like, I
Speaker 4: said to Corey probably at the sixtieth minute, and I
Speaker 4: was like, we should probably leave. It's so good.
Speaker 5: I did, and the Knights were in until they scored
Speaker 5: their first try. It wasn't in the first minute.
Speaker 2: The younger the fallback was was was really impressive.
Speaker 4: Young He's like one of my favorite Pensini, but.
Speaker 2: You is amazing Moses that try it from dummy half
Speaker 2: seventy meters out whatever it was, that was pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Cars having one of the one of his best seasons
Speaker 2: I can remember. But all year though, is having one
Speaker 2: of his best years that I can remember.
Speaker 4: I was, you know, it's nice to see that people
Speaker 4: like at Oka and and Leui to a point in
Speaker 4: terms of how he was flipping everyone off last year.
Speaker 4: After Origin then moved to Tigers, like even with oka,
Speaker 4: like all his scandalous stuff last year, it's nice that
Speaker 4: he's gone to the Eels and actually he's become a
Speaker 4: responsible adult. Like you got to remember last year he
Speaker 4: was a bit how you going with a few things
Speaker 4: he did, and you could remember like, I am very against.
Speaker 2: He actually he actually said. I heard an interview with
Speaker 2: him on Triple Him on Saturday morning, I think it
Speaker 2: was or Sunday morning, and he was saying he's thirty
Speaker 2: years old now. He said, I've he said, I reckon,
Speaker 2: I've got five years left in me, which I think
Speaker 2: is a bit of a stretch, but he said, I
Speaker 2: definitely want to finish my career here and try and
Speaker 2: get a title here before I leave. And he has
Speaker 2: the big difference between now and the past few years,
Speaker 2: as I've dropped seven killers. I was carrying too much
Speaker 2: weight which was causing injury as well.
Speaker 1: So he's he's he's seven killers, yo.
Speaker 2: Seven killers, Remember that's what he said. Yeah, so he
Speaker 2: said he said, he said that extra few killers contributed
Speaker 2: to injuries in the past few years. And and he's
Speaker 2: a bit sharper now than he was, and he's had
Speaker 2: a great year.
Speaker 4: The Eels just have this like you know, I always
Speaker 4: bang on about it, but they've got this synergy, the
Speaker 4: thing that Dolphins have, the thing that Raiders have. They've
Speaker 4: really come together for a team that has turned over
Speaker 4: like ninety eight percent in the last months. They've done
Speaker 4: really well. But I love a youngie. He is hands
Speaker 4: down one of my favorite favorite players.
Speaker 5: And like Nick said before, like Paramatterans and Saint George,
Speaker 5: they're both cashed up. They've got so much money left
Speaker 5: in the cap, but there's no one out there the
Speaker 5: boy really like when you're think about it, who's available.
Speaker 5: Let's know one the next year.
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you guys, side note before you
Speaker 4: jump onto the next thing. And I was going to say, too,
Speaker 4: I do have to jump on the neck off in
Speaker 4: the next five minutes because I've got a big Guvey
Speaker 4: day tomorrow. But it's gonna ask you guys, what are
Speaker 4: your thoughts? And I don't know if you saw it,
Speaker 4: but Melbourne actually ended two of their contracts with George.
Speaker 4: Might know two of the Queensland feeded teams up here.
Speaker 4: Oh well yeah, it was Sunshine Coast Falcons and another one.
Speaker 4: But they ended it because they want to get more
Speaker 4: players from the new South Wales Cup and they had
Speaker 4: and so Melbourne Melbourne Storm have gotten people like Pappenhausen
Speaker 4: from like our Queensland players. But I didn't know if
Speaker 4: there was something that you.
Speaker 2: Guys they got from Tigers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they I saw it the other day. But
Speaker 4: they ended two major relationships because they don't want to
Speaker 4: get players from Queensland anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think that more money in Melbourne.
Speaker 4: Well they said they want to get Yeah, so they
Speaker 4: want to get yeah, Sunshine Co's Falcons and Brisbane Tigers.
Speaker 4: It was announced this week because it came up in
Speaker 4: my feed. So both of the rugby league teams from
Speaker 4: those areas and now like did a very nice statement.
Speaker 4: But they've gotten a fair few players from Queensland and
Speaker 4: the decision was that they want to get more new
Speaker 4: South Wales.
Speaker 1: Yes, so what I believe tea they want to put
Speaker 1: more money in Melbourne pathways. They've actually got out they're
Speaker 1: actually starting something in somewhere called Logan. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well logans in Queensland Logans Logan. If it's not
Speaker 4: if the next team is in Ipswich Jets, you'd be
Speaker 4: getting Logan brothers. Logan Brothers is probably one of the best.
Speaker 1: Well, they said they're doing something there and they're doing that.
Speaker 1: They're looking, they're looking for opportunities in New South Wales
Speaker 1: to jump on a on a So.
Speaker 4: They mustn't have a big I can't imagine it's mainly AFL.
Speaker 4: But they mustn't have a big team of base in
Speaker 4: Victoria then for.
Speaker 1: League, No, no, they haven't.
Speaker 5: They haven't got one.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I think another team's got got started. I
Speaker 1: think the around the Geelong area is the strongest competition,
Speaker 1: which is I think out of western suburbs out there,
Speaker 1: I think, But no, not really. They haven't got a
Speaker 1: massive foothold, nor have they got juniors streaming through. So
Speaker 1: if they've got anything good, they take them and put
Speaker 1: them in the Queens got any good players, well I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I don't know. Maybe there's a commercial
Speaker 4: reason behind.
Speaker 1: That, but I feel as well, probably well, if it's not.
Speaker 4: Broken, don't fix it. Like they've have have had a
Speaker 4: fair few decent players from those from Tigers and Falcons. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: Sunny Coast but no, I didn't know if you guys,
Speaker 4: if that can to you guys, But but Logan Magpies,
Speaker 4: they they probably are probably one of the best teams
Speaker 4: outside of Burly Bears on the coast or in Brisbane.
Speaker 1: In Brisbane logan, yeah are they are? They western suburbs,
Speaker 1: no south.
Speaker 4: So when you imagine if you drive from Gold Coast
Speaker 4: to Brisie, it's probably twenty five minutes from the Gold
Speaker 4: Coast on the way out.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not far.
Speaker 4: It's like Carmichael Hunt like that generation.
Speaker 1: What's their logan?
Speaker 4: What magpies that they're Probably I would probably say.
Speaker 1: They're kind of like a thank you cup.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd probably say they're kind of like a Roosters
Speaker 4: like kind of team, Like they're not Storm, but they're
Speaker 4: quite a decent decent team. But it's interesting, right, Like
Speaker 4: I found it interesting because obviously Storm have traditionally gotten
Speaker 4: a lot of Queensland players. Yeah yeah, yeah, but but yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, I don't. I didn't know if it kind
Speaker 4: of made it made it to you guys, No, not really.
Speaker 1: I just what I heard. They're trying to put more
Speaker 1: money into Melbourne's that's all I heard.
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's a Storm like everything they touched with the
Speaker 1: Gold So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, already were moving into Crystal Ball.
Speaker 5: Had you take mate, It's it's really.
Speaker 2: More games anyway, this is it ten. Whenever you need
Speaker 2: to drop off, just let us know early tonight. But
Speaker 2: Storm hosting the Bulldogs on Friday night. Every one of
Speaker 2: these games, it's such a great round of audio. Every
Speaker 2: game is exciting to me. So I don't know what
Speaker 2: to expect from this because I think the Bulldogs will
Speaker 2: be up for it. I don't think you'll see the
Speaker 2: same perform as you've seen in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: They're both impacted by injury, Melbourne probably more directly with Pappen,
Speaker 2: Housen and Hughes. How did Melbourne Storm react to their
Speaker 2: first back to back losses of the city. You know,
Speaker 2: well they can they lose three in or row? Is
Speaker 2: it possible?
Speaker 5: Well, we've got Harry Grant back and he makes it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.
Speaker 5: Last time he played they one. I think so since
Speaker 5: they left or he got suspended, they lost. He's a
Speaker 5: begin for them. Yeah, Hughes and Pepperhaus and Solomona. I
Speaker 5: don't know if he's a big loss, but what he's
Speaker 5: done is called verial, disciplined.
Speaker 4: Needs to just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've been saying, I've been saying it looks like he's
Speaker 2: been on the outer at Melbourne for a while and
Speaker 2: I'd love to sign him. I'd love to get him
Speaker 2: over and he is a bit of a liability that
Speaker 2: needs to be looked at it.
Speaker 4: I felt sorry for him because he doesn't he seems
Speaker 4: I'm going to say this nicely, but he seems quite simple.
Speaker 2: It's just like when you look at the tackle that
Speaker 2: he made, it's just really hard for a man that
Speaker 2: size to get down low enough. Yeah quickly like it was.
Speaker 2: It wasn't intentional, but when you're that I'll never forget
Speaker 2: when I saw Paul Harrigan placed on report for a
Speaker 2: high tackle on Jeff Tuvi, give me a fucking break,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, It's the same thing. It's
Speaker 2: very hard for a man that size too.
Speaker 4: All the boys were I was actually shocked that Ardie
Speaker 4: and Judge are like, KAFUSI puts a grub because obviously
Speaker 4: I just see dolphins. But if Confus is going up
Speaker 4: against Jay Gray, you know that's a bit of a
Speaker 4: mismatch kind of thing. And Solomona, I think I don't
Speaker 4: think he's grubby. I just think he's a unit. And
Speaker 4: I felt bad for him. I feel like, and obviously
Speaker 4: the listeners didn't hear this prior, but the boys came
Speaker 4: on and gave their two cents. Maybe money simplified it.
Speaker 4: The Storm might win because Galvin's in and too the Sexton.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe it's that simple. I do not know if
Speaker 4: Nick Meaney can't sort like his shit out just generally.
Speaker 4: I just I don't feel like the Storm have been
Speaker 4: playing as good as they have been in previous years.
Speaker 2: No, that's why I don't, you know, my mind says
Speaker 2: we're going to say a very very good Melbourne Storm
Speaker 2: this week again because my mind automatically goes there. But
Speaker 2: I don't know if for all you know how the
Speaker 2: wils falling off or there's it's even with the Bulldogs,
Speaker 2: like I expect a much better performance than what I've seen.
Speaker 2: I know George is probably not thinking the same way
Speaker 2: you kind of you're kind of giving up on it.
Speaker 1: George not given up, but this particular matchup, I mean
Speaker 1: last week they never Melbourne never really regained the ground,
Speaker 1: never got the ground. Brisbane just took the ground off
Speaker 1: him and didn't give it back to him. We got Harry,
Speaker 1: We've got Harry Grahant back and that's that's a massive upgrade.
Speaker 1: And Stephanos back in it as well. So make make
Speaker 1: the mistake. This is a club it's very, very used
Speaker 1: to being in this situation.
Speaker 2: The secretary experience wise, yeah, experience wise, they've definitely got
Speaker 2: the secretary out.
Speaker 4: George.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that his ankle, so that was I think that
Speaker 2: was from that tackle. Wasn't tackle.
Speaker 4: He's really been doing much though, like he's normally a
Speaker 4: guaranteed tri score every game.
Speaker 1: It wasn't playing all that bad. We have got Caras
Speaker 1: on the on the extended bench. So watch this.
Speaker 2: I think I don't think he's ready because I watched
Speaker 2: the press that was Surroundo and they said his cura
Speaker 2: any chance of being back next week and he goes
Speaker 2: long odds for next week. I just thinkt the cherries
Speaker 2: the bigger, the bigger loss.
Speaker 1: There they got they got it, Okay, they got early. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Yeah, look a club that knows this
Speaker 1: time of the year. I'm surprised Peasants not playing half
Speaker 1: back and wish it is, but everybody knows the weakness
Speaker 1: of the dogs right through the middle, like Cornella showed us.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I just want to see a
Speaker 1: really high competitive, physical game. I think we'll get it.
Speaker 1: If it was anything, I'll be leaning towards the Storm
Speaker 1: just because they've been in this situation. It's in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I think.
Speaker 2: I think they're a definite favorites. I mean now and now, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're a dollar fifty versus two sixty one, but I
Speaker 2: just think they used to being in this situation. They're
Speaker 2: at home, and also I feel like they are I
Speaker 2: don't say that convincingly that I don't. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not respecting it. I'm expecting it. Maybe
Speaker 2: not a high quality game, but I'm expecting a doozy.
Speaker 1: To be honest, it'll be a doo undoubtedly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, tips everyone, I'm going to Storm.
Speaker 2: I think I like the stormy Storm.
Speaker 5: I'm likely to be playing the Dogs because if they
Speaker 5: were playing the Broncos, the Raiders or any Roosters or Chanters,
Speaker 5: I think they'll struggle. But I think they got the
Speaker 5: Dogs so they can blow some storm Storm. Well, yeah,
Speaker 5: definitely blow some cobwebs out. Harry Grant is going to
Speaker 5: make a mass reference very great.
Speaker 1: Forget Monster.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and their record against the Dogs last nine out
Speaker 5: of the last ten games.
Speaker 2: For me, I'm just thinking Craig Bellamy, factor number one,
Speaker 2: factor number two. Two losses in a row. I can't
Speaker 2: see three in a row.
Speaker 5: It's in Amy too, It's in Melbourne, Melbourne Bella.
Speaker 2: Bellamy's the CARTUSO of the NRL, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So I'd be scared walking into that locker room being here. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I think I've told you guys, just quickly.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, Melbourne Storm lost the game.
Speaker 2: I can't remember who was against, but it was a
Speaker 2: terrible performance. And it was the week before Magic Ground
Speaker 2: and in the press conference it was when Craig Bellamy said,
Speaker 2: if I have to replace the whole team with the
Speaker 2: new South Wales Cup team, I'll do that if we
Speaker 2: won't think twice about it, will And and I sat
Speaker 2: there going, we're playing him next week, all right now?
Speaker 2: What happened? It's sixty something something. I remember watching it.
Speaker 2: I remember when he when he made that comment and
Speaker 2: he was serious, right And I was just sitting there, going,
Speaker 2: we're playing him next week, you know, And it was
Speaker 2: it was thrashy. That's what I'm afraid of.
Speaker 4: Melbourne's downhill Sliders since he did that stupid rowing dance
Speaker 4: when Artie was away. But I think I was the
Speaker 4: last last body. But I feel like, like I said before,
Speaker 4: they are more scared of Bellamy than bulldogs are scared us.
Speaker 1: Rather, I think so, I think everybody's I'm scared.
Speaker 2: I think I think they're more scared of Bello me
Speaker 2: than anyone scared of anything. But anyway, yeah, I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to it. Saturday at four o'clock or four our five,
Speaker 2: we've got the Warriors hosting the Panthers mm hmm in
Speaker 2: New Zealand, and I've got to go with Penrith because
Speaker 2: to me, the Wiris have just falling.
Speaker 5: Off in all Martin mitch Kenny's out. Okay, that's been
Speaker 5: no way, Mitch Kenny's out. But Penrith looks strong, definitely strong.
Speaker 4: It's quite good. There's just a difference, Like Pa said,
Speaker 4: is it raining. I think there's just a different vibe
Speaker 4: for New Zealand when they are at home. But I
Speaker 4: would say Panthers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well again, it's a similar as Similars the storm. The
Speaker 1: club that knows knows the week, knows the day. The
Speaker 1: secretary knows that the guy who carries the balls and
Speaker 1: know what semi final is all about. The coaches know
Speaker 1: what the players definitely know what what the what the
Speaker 1: what to do to get over this first game. So
Speaker 1: all I want to see is penrith habits coming back
Speaker 1: to doing and if they do that, they'll win.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All ever do is Big Pendri.
Speaker 5: When they start resting a whole team two weeks out,
Speaker 5: you know that they're getting serious. They're ready for this,
Speaker 5: They're preparing, They've been preparing for this the last few weeks.
Speaker 5: So I can't see anyone to be worried. Can you see?
Speaker 5: Really good?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, These the next two games are absolute crackers. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Night Sharks hosting the Roosters one cracker of
Speaker 2: the game. And I agree with you guys. I think
Speaker 2: for the first time in the last three years, I
Speaker 2: think Sharks are coming into the finals ready. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: more so than the past three seas. This is where I.
Speaker 1: Didn't are going to disagree. He's going to tell us
Speaker 1: the Roosters their prime, the prime, they're prime. They're going
Speaker 1: to go to They're going to go to the prison
Speaker 1: and snatch a victory. And and for John and probably
Speaker 1: do the pen next week, and I'm saying that could happen,
Speaker 1: but after seeing them last week, they're ready.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sharks definitely read there, are prepared that Rusters have
Speaker 5: been playing really good football. Apart from that glitch with Parramatta,
Speaker 5: they've been outstanding. And who they're losing. Are they losing anyone?
Speaker 5: No one's out, No one's out one and the more
Speaker 5: is in the half back in. Trendle's in for the
Speaker 5: Coronlla and the korus back in, which is good.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a cracker.
Speaker 5: This is going to be a cracking game.
Speaker 2: It is it is. I'm I'm going to tip the Roosters,
Speaker 2: but I say that reluctantly as well. Yeah, for the
Speaker 2: first time since fitz Gibbons been there, I'm confident with
Speaker 2: the Sharks.
Speaker 1: I'm dipping the Sharks reluctantly, rectly.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad Honds is in. I'm glad Honds in
Speaker 2: because I want this is what I want to see.
Speaker 4: Because every time you guys have said they're playing at
Speaker 4: Sharks Stadium prison and they've got a pretty good hit
Speaker 4: rate there. I'm probably tipping at Sharks.
Speaker 5: I'm going to get the Rusters because This is the
Speaker 5: first time Robbo has got a full strength team playing
Speaker 5: in the final. Every every time that Rooster's make finals,
Speaker 5: he's always got like six injuries or something. Now is
Speaker 5: full strength and Robbo has got them.
Speaker 2: With Rooster is the favorite and sports Better dollars seventy four.
Speaker 2: My favorites last week, Yeah, favor means I think were
Speaker 2: there their favorites last weeks.
Speaker 4: Still my favorite last week. I don't know, Like, I
Speaker 4: think Sharks have a like and I'm these are my
Speaker 4: two most disliked teams, but I think there is some
Speaker 4: something I don't know these This is a hard game,
Speaker 4: but I'd probably go go Sharks in that they're kind
Speaker 4: of just workhorses, right, Like I just I think they
Speaker 4: just grind away and they've got twindle back nicer back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what That's what we're trying to do, is
Speaker 1: trying to make a robotic grinding team. It's look, it's
Speaker 1: taking him a little bit longer, but that's what he's
Speaker 1: trying to do.
Speaker 5: So it's an even split mainly.
Speaker 2: And in the last game, absolutely, this is when the
Speaker 2: Raiders in the Broncos camera.
Speaker 1: My godfather, how good is this game?
Speaker 2: You know? The Raiders are the favorites at a dollar
Speaker 2: sixty five to two twenty four. But I'm tipping the Broncos.
Speaker 4: What ship a psyche's over his hangover and he's back in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't, I don't know, Like I I try
Speaker 7: very hard, like I try very hard because I kind
Speaker 7: of go Broncos.
Speaker 4: But then, yeah, I never thought they were going to
Speaker 4: win the Grand Final against Pen the rest of a
Speaker 4: few years ago, but I and I feel like they've
Speaker 4: had a lot of changes. I'm going to tip Broncos,
Speaker 4: but I do it reluctantly, like and that's purely.
Speaker 2: Because I just I think. I think the big key
Speaker 2: here is semi final experience, which which the Raiders do
Speaker 2: not have, right, So I think if it's a close
Speaker 2: one under pressure, that's where the big names in the
Speaker 2: Broncos will win the game.
Speaker 4: I think I'm just going to count all the biffs.
Speaker 2: Beffs in foot anymore. It's handbags are ten paces, the
Speaker 2: shirt grabbing, they're.
Speaker 4: Soccer apl beffs've been watching. Yeah, I just think it
Speaker 4: it's almost like a not a mini origin, but it's
Speaker 4: going to be a I don't know, I actually had
Speaker 4: a thought that God, I would probably go down to
Speaker 4: camera to watch it this weekend.
Speaker 1: But the fun part of this game is the two
Speaker 1: completely different styles of play they're trying. They're trying to
Speaker 1: reach similar outcomes doing it a completely different ways. It's
Speaker 1: intriguing me. That's why I can't I can't pick a
Speaker 1: pick a winner. What I fear is that if Milk
Speaker 1: the Milk loses, they might go bang bang out because
Speaker 1: they are very the way they play, They're very team
Speaker 1: built on confidence, the way they take in all areas,
Speaker 1: even in bad ball. If they get that wrong, it
Speaker 1: could really spiral. And they've been getting away. They just
Speaker 1: just been getting away every game. But again, if the
Speaker 1: Broncos put enough pressure on them and they do fold
Speaker 1: up and lose, I'm afraid because they've been so much fun.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that they go bang bang pop out. Broncos
Speaker 1: right this moment, right this moment, are playing semi final
Speaker 1: Rugby League. They're thrown all the previous Broncos a pluses
Speaker 1: and all the rest. How they try to get on
Speaker 1: the outside of teams and they just go through the middle.
Speaker 1: They're a team that just try to play a power game.
Speaker 1: And the Spice on top of it, is rece re
Speaker 1: shoots blinds, shoots middles and then Reees sweeps around around
Speaker 1: the back. They're built. They're built to win a comp.
Speaker 1: The way they're playing, they're built. They're playing semi final
Speaker 1: rugby league. It looks exciting because they're all superstars. But
Speaker 1: if someone another team will do it, you say, gee,
Speaker 1: what a boring team of Cornla, You'd say, but they
Speaker 1: do it so well. So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't have a more experienced team.
Speaker 2: And that's where that's where differences.
Speaker 1: And they're far better. They're far better on paper, far
Speaker 1: better on paper. You can't. You can't deny.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: You can't deny what the Milkers have done all year.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 4: I think George and I the only one sweating now,
Speaker 4: Nick sweet.
Speaker 2: I have sweated.
Speaker 4: I get very stressed.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I really have no idea.
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards the Bronco, but I'm afraid I don't
Speaker 1: want them to go bang bang out the Raiders. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go bang banging out I really don't.
Speaker 4: The thing is the Broncos, even if the Raiders, like
Speaker 4: fans and stuff, give it to them. Broncos are used to.
Speaker 1: Get I don't think there's that's the issue. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've been you know, they've been through everything this hit
Speaker 1: this Broncos team. But I really really enjoy watching the
Speaker 1: broadcast play this power game. I really do so. I
Speaker 1: mean true, I have no idea.
Speaker 4: So who are you guys for this time?
Speaker 5: I think I haven't. The good thing about this game
Speaker 5: is these two teams meet now, so there's a good
Speaker 5: chance they can meet in.
Speaker 1: The Grand Final.
Speaker 5: I had to imagine they came to the other side
Speaker 5: and then they can meet at the end. So I
Speaker 5: wouldn't mind this being a Grand Final. I would love to,
Speaker 5: but I agree with in terms of experience. I agreed
Speaker 5: Broncos only were in the Grand five two years ago.
Speaker 5: So these guys are seeing red. They want to get
Speaker 5: there again. They're going to go out there and put
Speaker 5: in a show. But I reckon Ricky Stewart has got
Speaker 5: something up his sleeve to put them off their game,
Speaker 5: because Broncos can easily get put off their game. Honestly,
Speaker 5: if you put off their game, they start losing their ship.
Speaker 5: And I think Ricky has got the munition to do that.
Speaker 5: I think he does. He'll target rees, he'll go for
Speaker 5: the strength, will cause errors and they'll get on top.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to get Raiders. They've been the best
Speaker 5: team all year and that's.
Speaker 2: What I said.
Speaker 4: But like if that is my dream that this is
Speaker 4: a grand yeah great?
Speaker 2: Is there any Is there any by the way, this
Speaker 2: is my Grand Final tip. I think these two the
Speaker 2: Grand Final? Yeah, yeah, I do. But one question. I
Speaker 2: have Canberra at home, full house, Yeah, kicking absolute, But
Speaker 2: is what we saw against Cannoby this year and then
Speaker 2: pulled the wool over their eyes in the second half?
Speaker 2: Remember that?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is that something in the back of their minds this
Speaker 2: weekend That game was running perfectly until it wasn't. Is
Speaker 2: that is that something they consider? So Brisbane are that
Speaker 2: team that can do what the Bulldogs did?
Speaker 1: Pull your pants down? Yeah it's I always talk about
Speaker 1: habits again, and I believe every team have habits, and
Speaker 1: the Raiders have got a habit of letting up in
Speaker 1: the second half.
Speaker 2: They really do.
Speaker 1: They their teams back. You have every chance of beating
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You have every chance. And the game they
Speaker 1: lost against or they beat against the Penriff, they weren't
Speaker 1: the best team on the day. Now, they did everything right.
Speaker 1: They punched and they counterpunched. But if you look at
Speaker 1: field position and all the vital stats, penf had that
Speaker 1: in control.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know what I was saying, mate, There
Speaker 5: was a stat by buzz Rodfield two weeks ago in
Speaker 5: a L three sixty and they looked at the teams
Speaker 5: in the top eight and how many games have played
Speaker 5: against top eight teams. Cameras played eight games and one seven.
Speaker 5: They only lost one game and it was that Bulldogs game.
Speaker 5: And when you look at that Bulldogs game, no leading,
Speaker 5: they had the game. They just put the Q in
Speaker 5: the racks. So what they did? I think they learned
Speaker 5: a lot from that because since that game, they won
Speaker 5: a lot of games. So it was a good learning
Speaker 5: curve from And maybe it was a loss they needed
Speaker 5: to get them to the first.
Speaker 1: Maybe, But this this will be an epic novel from
Speaker 1: from the foot. What we're going to watch the first
Speaker 1: minute to the last minute. It's going to have so
Speaker 1: many changes along the way, and you're going to say
Speaker 1: how many times Broncos are one, that's it, It's all over.
Speaker 1: Then you're going to say, oh, they're coming back, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be it's going to be.
Speaker 1: I can't wait, and I wish they do play two
Speaker 1: twice in a month.
Speaker 4: Really, they've played Readers once this year on Broncos and
Speaker 4: they've lost. Broncos also don't have a great track record
Speaker 4: winning away. But last year they played them twice and
Speaker 4: we lost one and one one. But then the previous
Speaker 4: year and I think it was like around twenty six
Speaker 4: they played Raiders in camera and one.
Speaker 1: I just it's a different I don't know.
Speaker 4: I would hope that Mag's really preparing them.
Speaker 2: Can say one thing because I'm one of those people
Speaker 2: who I never go on stats because I believe once
Speaker 2: the bell rings, nothing matters. It's not that it's like
Speaker 2: you don't say a team hasn't won this ground for
Speaker 2: five years or whatever. It's not in the players minds, right.
Speaker 2: Jack Gibson, the old Jack used to say, playing away
Speaker 2: means nothing because it's just a patch of grass with
Speaker 2: a fence around it. Right. And the other thing, tan
Speaker 2: you answer me this question, how many Grand finals a
Speaker 2: Vision one? They were all the way? Yeah, right, So
Speaker 2: would be confident they're.
Speaker 4: More than most teams. They have greater success at some
Speaker 4: uncle like.
Speaker 2: I just because any but don't forget a large number
Speaker 2: of those grand finals, the Broncos one. Back then we
Speaker 2: didn't have home finals. If you boys might remember, every
Speaker 2: final was at the s f SS well, even all
Speaker 2: the semis or the semis we played at a neutral ground.
Speaker 4: But if Raiders and Broncos get to the grand final,
Speaker 4: we'll still play in Sydney, which I feel is a
Speaker 4: bit ship.
Speaker 2: But no, why is this ship though?
Speaker 4: Because I don't want to go to Sydney finals.
Speaker 2: No, But but that's my point is like Georgia, you
Speaker 2: guys might remember, I don't remember what year the change happened.
Speaker 2: I think it was in the late nineties. Now I
Speaker 2: think it was in the early two thousands when every
Speaker 2: every semi final final was played at the SFS before
Speaker 2: before we had the home final system, which I preferred.
Speaker 2: I personally preferred the neutral ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this time of year, it's hard, right, we could
Speaker 4: go yep ruces all the way, but and God forbid,
Speaker 4: we don't want this to happen. But what if we
Speaker 4: saw even in the Eagles game, two players got sent
Speaker 4: to hospital and ambulance. What happens if something happens to
Speaker 4: Mike and Mark in that like the whole game can
Speaker 4: change exactly. And they they're tired. It's almost the end.
Speaker 4: They're coming to the end. It's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2: You you know what, Sorry, if you get back, if
Speaker 2: you get back. A few weeks when Andy was on
Speaker 2: the pod, George, you might remember this. He made a
Speaker 2: good point because I remember, George, you said something about
Speaker 2: you know, it's hard for him because they've got to travel,
Speaker 2: and he goes, they've got one fucking job. They've got
Speaker 2: to get on a plane, right, this is what they do.
Speaker 2: This is what they do for a living. So they
Speaker 2: spend six days of the week preparing for this one game. Right,
Speaker 2: so at the end of the day, if they get injured,
Speaker 2: they're terrible. But then aside, they've got one job. That's it.
Speaker 2: So they need to be ready for it.
Speaker 1: Every team and both and these both teams in question.
Speaker 1: I'll be ready for it. I'll be ready.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. I think if every game is going
Speaker 2: to be good, but there last two, especially for me, you.
Speaker 5: Know, worries me about this game as well. Mister Fixer
Speaker 5: actually climbs bloody referring the potential to ruin this game.
Speaker 1: Well, he is the worst, was it?
Speaker 2: George and I watched the game together. When was it, George,
Speaker 2: last Sunday?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yes, it was last Sunday.
Speaker 2: Was it last Sunday? When? Yeah? When this was over?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I can't even remember who was playing there for yet,
Speaker 2: but were sitting was sitting beside the chat on the couch,
Speaker 2: and there's a forward pass right and the fans with flags.
Speaker 2: The linesman who, by the way, he looked older than dirt.
Speaker 2: I've never said he was in his fifties and sixties bold,
Speaker 2: I don't know who he was. He had the horseshoe
Speaker 2: haircut right, so he's definitely a grandfather. But he was
Speaker 2: right right there in line. And by the way, the
Speaker 2: pass was thrown from the senate to the winger, so
Speaker 2: he was literally a couple of George and I just
Speaker 2: looked at each other. And then even in the replay
Speaker 2: you see the two players the past and the lines
Speaker 2: of it and what you're looking at. There's a try
Speaker 2: that came from it, right, And remember, George, we just
Speaker 2: looked at each other. Do we just see what we
Speaker 2: just saw? Like how they got one job? They got
Speaker 2: one job. That's it.
Speaker 4: Seriously, Okay, I'm getting broncos I'm going to jump off
Speaker 4: because I got a big government thing tomorrow. But probably
Speaker 4: message you guys the box books.
Speaker 2: Oh that's that wraps up for the games. Over to you.
Speaker 5: No worries. I'll talk a bit of super legal reckon. Okay.
Speaker 5: So the results over the weekend we had the South.
Speaker 5: We're up to the last round. Now they've got one
Speaker 5: more round, one more round. So this is the second
Speaker 5: last round South of Devils six Catalan Dragons seventeen won
Speaker 5: by a point. There the hardest field Giants zero leads
Speaker 5: Rhinos twenty six. Brad After's got to be coach of
Speaker 5: the year mate, he just.
Speaker 1: Got Nicole brad Aarthur just got awarded coach of the year.
Speaker 1: He did get up happy for you, so he should
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 2: Got he's got.
Speaker 1: He's got Leeds coming third with thirty six points behind Warriors.
Speaker 1: The Warriors which is Wigham thirty thirty eight and c
Speaker 1: I sorry, kr At forty two. So he's with a
Speaker 1: bunch of Neville nobodies. He's doing amazing, Yeah he is.
Speaker 5: He's doing a very good job there. Surprised he's not
Speaker 5: mentioned in the Knight's job But anyway, Castle for dogas.
Speaker 2: You know what that would never happen because Buddle the
Speaker 2: other coach is his best mate. What's his name again,
Speaker 2: the Newcastle coach. He and Arthur are godfatherest to each
Speaker 2: other's children, no there and their best so there's no
Speaker 2: way he'd step into that role. That for shame, I
Speaker 2: don't think so anyway, you know it's a shame. Yeah, yeah, shame.
Speaker 5: Castle for Tigers twenty six, Wakefield Trinity twenty two. Helens
Speaker 5: went down four points to Wigan Warriors eighteen top of
Speaker 5: the ladder. Clash there and Helen's have dropped. Tell us
Speaker 5: a bit about it, George.
Speaker 1: It was a great game. The score didn't indicate the game.
Speaker 1: It was a bash of fine. It was a grind fest.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: Wigan Wigham is a little bit better. Saints I'm not
Speaker 1: quite shit. I mean they're still in the top six, but.
Speaker 5: They're just not fifth.
Speaker 1: They're just not there, not.
Speaker 5: There, not there. Warrington Wolves twelve, Lee Leopards Ers in
Speaker 5: the world thirty four. Yeah, the two whole teams, Wholkingston
Speaker 5: Rovers eighteen four.
Speaker 1: That was Sunday night, that was Monday morning. I watched that.
Speaker 1: What a doozy, What a doozy, And let me tell
Speaker 1: you can I go back to Warrington. They lost again,
Speaker 1: but Sam's lost the dressing room and it's a good
Speaker 1: thing for me. He'll learn, he'll learn. Yeah, he'll learn,
Speaker 1: he'll learn.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So time it does, it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good man.
Speaker 5: So, like George said, Hulkingston Rovers forty two, Wigan Warriors
Speaker 5: thirty eight, Leeds thirty six, Lee Leopards ugliest jersey in
Speaker 5: the world. Fourth, I'm thirty five and Saint Helen's thirty two,
Speaker 5: which sets up a good clash. Next week Lee Leopards
Speaker 5: are playing Saint Helen's, so that's going to be a
Speaker 5: good game. Whoever wins that will take fourth spot. Now, yeah,
Speaker 5: fourth spot, so it's a battle for the fourth. There
Speaker 5: is a top six, top six, top six and that
Speaker 5: so they're both guaranteed finals football. Those two teams are
Speaker 5: their Leopards andt Helen's because Wakefield's twenty six points, six
Speaker 5: points behind.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different in England. So the top
Speaker 1: two goes straight to prelimbs. Okay, sure, okay, then the
Speaker 1: others fight it out see if they can. So Hull
Speaker 1: and what Wigan will be what waiting? So who comes
Speaker 1: up through and they play straight for straight to again
Speaker 1: to the grand final. Yeah, so that's a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit different in England.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so very interesting. The one game I wanted to
Speaker 5: mention as well, between me and Unick, our two teams
Speaker 5: played in the New South Wales Cup on the weekend.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, second verse third Paramatta was second Saint George, third
Speaker 5: Saint George a semi final. No, they're playing for the
Speaker 5: semi final stuff this week. So it ended up being
Speaker 5: a twenty four to eighteen wins to the Dragons. But
Speaker 5: it was very they played it. Yeah, they played it
Speaker 5: and finished twenty four eighteen, a very tight match. So
Speaker 5: I think Saint George lead from the Eels. Now, so
Speaker 5: how does it work with New South Wales Cup? Is
Speaker 5: the top four, top five, top five the top so
Speaker 5: I think Dragons play with the Warriors. The Warriors finished first,
Speaker 5: Warriors under and the Eels and Dragons were sort of battling.
Speaker 1: For a second.
Speaker 2: So we're still.
Speaker 5: Yeah third, second and third Saint Georgia second now and
Speaker 5: then it was a third.
Speaker 2: So is it televised?
Speaker 1: You got you got a stream. I didn't watch last week,
Speaker 1: but i'll tell you now what I've seen Paramatta, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Saint George. Forget the Warriors, they're on a different teams,
Speaker 1: lost one, they lost two games all year. They're amazing,
Speaker 1: but but they're still like they don't flog team, so
Speaker 1: you can you guys can still be them. But the
Speaker 1: Paramatta team and the Saint Georgia Law Warror team, yeah
Speaker 1: my godfather.
Speaker 5: And a lot of the players that you're seeing in
Speaker 5: the NRL in Paramatta are playing in the New South
Speaker 5: Wales Cup because they've been pushed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Like St. George as well, they've got players playing in
Speaker 5: the lower grade. So both strong teams. We've both got
Speaker 5: good teams. At least we've got something to look forward to.
Speaker 2: Exactly cool. I mean, I mean, I don't know about
Speaker 2: you guys, but like I said before, we haven't apart
Speaker 2: from development, we haven't signed anyone. Yeah, so I imagine
Speaker 2: there's a heavy reliance on what's coming through. So we talked.
Speaker 1: We talked the regies with which I was talking about
Speaker 1: and all the youngsters. But there's even a step further
Speaker 1: down Nicola, okay, Paramotuta and war not in George. Yes, dat,
Speaker 1: I can't explain to you how how many how many
Speaker 1: kids I've seen Parramatta swap six and putting new a
Speaker 1: different six and are going there's good as as good
Speaker 1: as the other kids. They're just they're so stacked. Both
Speaker 1: clubs are both stacked. It it's embarrassing. It's like like
Speaker 1: the riches are embarrassing used to how how much kids
Speaker 1: you got coming through.
Speaker 2: It's interesting because I'm actually looking at an article now
Speaker 2: which had I seen it before, I would have gone
Speaker 2: through it. Maybe we can do it next week. But
Speaker 2: there's an article on Fox Sports that everyone can go
Speaker 2: and have a look at what where every team's who's
Speaker 2: leaving the clubs this year at the season. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you'd be surprised. There's quite a few players from a
Speaker 2: lot of clubs to party, but none of them kind
Speaker 2: of good enough to head hunt or does that make sense? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So to give you an idea that that Pendoff
Speaker 1: team you saw, the Regis Peneoff team you saw the
Speaker 1: play against the Dogs a couple of weeks ago, six
Speaker 1: of the six of those players are going to Super League.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about the Dan Lorry's right, like that
Speaker 2: that caliber of player who's good, but you wouldn't really
Speaker 2: go after them unless you needed a back up utility
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: Maybe back up, yeah, back up maybe, but not not really.
Speaker 1: So what what Jason is doing and and and what
Speaker 1: Flannel is doing bringing up youngsters? Yeah, it's the only
Speaker 1: thing you can do. It's the only real thing you
Speaker 1: can do. And plus you've got him for about two
Speaker 1: or three years, so in Longley fragments like you're gonna
Speaker 1: have him for three years on a budget or a
Speaker 1: youngster contract until it comes off in three years and
Speaker 1: then everyone's going to bid for him. So then you've
Speaker 1: got to play him six to seven.
Speaker 2: And the only way and it's much easier to say
Speaker 2: this is September than it is in March, but the
Speaker 2: only way to do it is they just have to play. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you're going to lose games, and you're going to
Speaker 2: make mistakes, and you know, you have to get that
Speaker 2: under your belt.
Speaker 1: Back in our day, Nicola, you'll have three or four
Speaker 1: years in in Regis or yeah, and you'll come up ready.
Speaker 1: But now it's only one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hated, but it's the one that they're being
Speaker 2: a lot younger.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I only think Saint Georgian Paramount hope of
Speaker 5: picking up a good player will be from the English
Speaker 5: Super League. Honestly, Camera has done it and they brought
Speaker 5: some guns. So I think maybe we've got to start
Speaker 5: looking abroad because we find nothing. You'll find forwards, so
Speaker 5: there's nothing really available.
Speaker 2: I think if you look at what Pendriff did at
Speaker 2: the start of their run, I think that's the model that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that at least these two clubs are looking at and
Speaker 2: Camera as well, by the way.
Speaker 1: Done the same thing.
Speaker 2: They've done the same thing, same because you know, when
Speaker 2: when Penris run started, they they had a couple of
Speaker 2: you know, like Maloney, they had a couple of key
Speaker 2: players that assist. But all these superstars kids, you know,
Speaker 2: So that seems to be the model.
Speaker 5: So that's it.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 5: About you, George.
Speaker 2: What did you go for?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know what the things of of of God? Uh?
Speaker 1: For next week we're in the in the to our
Speaker 1: part and a lot of this stuff, a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff I love Tata to jump in. I've got I'm
Speaker 1: holding on to some correspondence as well which we can ask.
Speaker 1: We can ask next week. Yeah, all these things I
Speaker 1: can ask. Damn. The thing I will say is the
Speaker 1: NRL w and it's a teething and me thing. But
Speaker 1: the Broncos they're just they're just killing everybody, Nicola. As
Speaker 1: you know, we beat the Tigers thirty thirty eight four.
Speaker 2: And actually didn't know you told me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we beat them thirty eight four and we look,
Speaker 1: we look fantastic. All we have to do is win
Speaker 1: next week against the Dogs and the chances I will
Speaker 1: be in the semi final.
Speaker 5: You should because the Dogs aren't that good.
Speaker 2: Win technically technically that means Para gave the targets that
Speaker 2: wouldn't spoon two in the.
Speaker 1: Women over looked that far down. But we need to
Speaker 1: beat the Dogs and uh the Ari r e l
Speaker 1: p a Player of the Year, and of course she's
Speaker 1: voted by her peers. He's a paramatta player, Nicola Rubin Cherrington.
Speaker 2: What about that that girl we saw in your place
Speaker 2: last week? What's her name? The superstar, the one that
Speaker 2: you keept pointing out.
Speaker 1: To make her often?
Speaker 2: Yeah, comes she is. That's the mast, that's the masting
Speaker 2: r ol w I seen.
Speaker 1: To make her to make it is the best of
Speaker 1: rugby league player women's rugby league player in the world.
Speaker 1: But her peas of chosen youngster, Paramatta Hooker and she's
Speaker 1: a she's a new So I'll started Roger Hooker and
Speaker 1: nicolea and I'll tell you now, she had the first
Speaker 1: six games off because she's injured. She was injured from Origin.
Speaker 1: We got her a bit earlier. Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: I don't think we will be needed to win the
Speaker 1: last game to make the top six. I think will
Speaker 1: be in the top six. That's a good young Sherington
Speaker 1: is so yep, they've they've picked up. They are l
Speaker 1: p A picked as the player of the season. And
Speaker 1: actually I will I will, I will say this one
Speaker 1: because I didn't hear the try. The try that the
Speaker 1: Warriors scored, sorry, was the mainly scored the quickest t over?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 5: That was Fisher Harris that's right, Warriors. Yeah, that was
Speaker 5: just just eight seconds.
Speaker 1: I got inspired and I went to find out which
Speaker 1: what you know, what is the quickest ever triver scored?
Speaker 2: It was? It was the para before that against the Broncos.
Speaker 1: How long did that take?
Speaker 2: It was? It was from the kickoff Bronco has dropped
Speaker 2: the ball, parapet up and scored. I can't remember. It
Speaker 2: was a few years ago. I can't remember which player
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I got this from the Guinness Book of Records.
Speaker 1: Could be wrong.
Speaker 2: In NRL, I'm talking okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, in the Guinness Book of Records, the quickest try
Speaker 1: ever scored, And unfortunately we're involved with this. Serbia scored
Speaker 1: a try off the kickoff seven point six seconds, seven
Speaker 1: point six against Greece. Against Greece, the only different difference
Speaker 1: in that game after that, Grease scored eighty two points.
Speaker 1: So but that's not the point. The point is that
Speaker 1: Serbia's got harriss the record, n Roll.
Speaker 2: I'm looking roup now in NRAL, he does n Okay.
Speaker 2: I think Paris one was like twelve or fourteen seconds
Speaker 2: or something, so this is definitely the fastest one.
Speaker 1: How much was it eight point two?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: How much?
Speaker 2: How how fast was nine seconds?
Speaker 1: Well I got seven point nine point six, so so
Speaker 1: that that's not eight seconds eight seconds? Okay, So again
Speaker 1: that's and I roll Fisher Harry's got how to fish
Speaker 1: get down there so quick. I want to know.
Speaker 2: From five or six years ago, Para kicked off against
Speaker 2: Brisbane and in the first tackle the tried to offload
Speaker 2: it and parapicked it up and scored, so that was
Speaker 2: until this one was that was that it was just
Speaker 2: a normal girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I just thought you might like that one.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, and that's my next week, Nicola.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you said that because I haven't eaten,
Speaker 2: so I I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 1: Enjoy.
