Speaker 2: or seven weeks without Ardie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a big job there, trying to get
Speaker 1: the Roads Nights into the semifinals tea. But I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll manage. I'm sure he'll uh, he'll bring some Sydney
Speaker 1: club form there and get him into the eighth anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: how is everyone.
Speaker 2: Good, good, good good? Orangin tomorrow night?
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 5: And then you haven't opened Instagram for a while, but.
Speaker 2: I haven't been on. I'll check check, I'll jump on tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I haven't been on for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think all the commentary around the place,
Speaker 1: I think that it might go a bit the other way.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since we've gone to the
Speaker 1: final game to zero. So got this god feeling it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting, got this god feeling.
Speaker 2: But anyway, what's what's the good thing of the weak, George,
Speaker 2: the good thing of the week, you know what? Tell you?
Speaker 2: And I was speaking about this off air. The Dolphins.
Speaker 1: The Fins are the good thing and and and you
Speaker 1: know why they're the good thing because they're playing a style,
Speaker 1: a different type of style, a care for his style
Speaker 1: of rugby league. And at the moment anyway, they're getting
Speaker 1: away from that wrestling old fashioned style.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and and.
Speaker 1: I'm going to dub them in the in the talk
Speaker 1: of the teams, the teams are pods, So yeah, Dolphins
Speaker 1: for me, give me the Dolphins, and I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot straight back to you, Nicola. You told
Speaker 1: me what's Nicola's been this week.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be real quick because I've got three
Speaker 2: things now. It's growing legs, all right, So I'm not
Speaker 2: going to Yeah, I'm not going to. I won't spend
Speaker 2: too much time on it. I'll be real quick. The
Speaker 2: first one is Dylan Brown suspended for bumping into the
Speaker 2: referee really chasing a kick. Get out of the damn way, am.
Speaker 2: I did the same thing, and they applied common since
Speaker 2: there crazy, It's like I mean, it's it's an accidental collision.
Speaker 2: Get on, why does someone have to be suspended for it?
Speaker 1: Spend it?
Speaker 2: The second thing is, and you and I have been
Speaker 2: talking about this for years tiger see Shane Richardson has
Speaker 2: sensationally claimed that the NRL refereeing is biased towards the
Speaker 2: more successful teams, and I think he's one hundred one
Speaker 2: hundred percent right. How much you see the big guns
Speaker 2: play the small guns tand and the big guns get
Speaker 2: all the penalties coming out of there, and it's always
Speaker 2: one way traffic in that my opinion, I.
Speaker 5: Completely agree, that's that's an it's yeah, totally totally agree.
Speaker 2: There could be they could be agree.
Speaker 1: No, no, I actually don't disagree, but there could be
Speaker 1: a sort of logical exploit explanation for it, because the
Speaker 1: better teams, for argument's sake, do things just that a
Speaker 1: little bit quicker, a little bit better, and once you're
Speaker 1: looking in the rock, it looks it appears that the
Speaker 1: lesser team is bad, is bad. Yeah, look I agree somehow, always, always,
Speaker 1: always they get the right.
Speaker 2: A fair statement to say that the poorer teams have
Speaker 2: poorer discipline in general, Well that's what they're DoD on
Speaker 2: the bottom. Okay, if we reference get tip sheets before
Speaker 2: the game they do. It's going to it's swaying them
Speaker 2: before they even run out there. It does. And the
Speaker 2: third thing is again, these are all the NRL the trail.
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Spencer then who they're both in origin camp
Speaker 2: and they're refusing to do media. So cut their pain half.
Speaker 2: Don't give them thirty grand, give them fifteen. Don't start
Speaker 2: me on on media. Why are the rules changed for them?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that the refuse when
Speaker 2: you're in origin camp, media is part of the gig.
Speaker 2: It's it's like sticky lips. Ricky Stewart still win is
Speaker 2: about having to do press conferences. He's been a coach
Speaker 2: for twenty four years. Nicola.
Speaker 1: Is it them or is it it doesn't matter management? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's wrong, it's wrong either way. I just wondering if
Speaker 1: I don't know, if daily.
Speaker 2: I don't know. For me, it doesn't matter. You know
Speaker 2: you don't want to do media, don't do it, but
Speaker 2: cut their paying half. You know.
Speaker 1: My view on access? If they want more money, they've
Speaker 1: got to give us more access. Simple as that. Simple
Speaker 1: as That's my bin for the week. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I tried to keep it swift and you're right on
Speaker 1: every point, last point especially, we've.
Speaker 5: All right, that was swift.
Speaker 2: That was swift.
Speaker 1: That was swift, the last the last point there. We've
Speaker 1: we've spoken about it, we've brought it up on on
Speaker 1: on the show. Bottom line, they want more money, no problem.
Speaker 1: Give us more access, yeah, give us more access. Every
Speaker 1: every every top player running on top player, international player,
Speaker 1: at least one on every team. Usually a playmaker should
Speaker 1: be miked up, simple as that, simple as.
Speaker 2: That doesn't have to be miked up. But they've got
Speaker 2: media committments. You see the rest of the team doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but they decided that I don't want.
Speaker 1: To especially especially Origin, especially Origin, because this this origins,
Speaker 1: this Origin in particular has been very quiet. There's there's
Speaker 1: there's no noise coming up from any camps. I mean
Speaker 1: t there's there's no flu sweeping for the Marines camp
Speaker 1: this year. There's no mystery, there's no mystery injury, there's nothing.
Speaker 5: Did see something about Woods calling Slater grub and later saying,
Speaker 5: so I just saw it today, Slater saying something around
Speaker 5: how you know other people wouldn't be able to like you,
Speaker 5: referenced Paul who passed a while ago. I just and
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's just my news that I'm
Speaker 5: getting because Google's very clever.
Speaker 2: Now let's let's jump in it, because that was my
Speaker 2: first point for controversy corners. So let's jump Did you
Speaker 2: did you see that?
Speaker 5: Okay? So no, but okay, So you have Lenuine Latrell
Speaker 5: that won't do media. But then you have many that's
Speaker 5: getting completely slammed for being in origin. And I know
Speaker 5: you guys, we have talked about this last week. I
Speaker 5: don't have an issue, but why and you know I
Speaker 5: go on about this stuff. But len you and Latrell,
Speaker 5: they are absolute grubs from from a few different standpoints. Again,
Speaker 5: I have not I have not said that Man he
Speaker 5: did was right, obviously not. I don't agree with anything
Speaker 5: like he should have put himself in a talkment suspension
Speaker 5: and all did the wrong thing. He's done his time
Speaker 5: based on what he was given. But he gets hold
Speaker 5: to a blazing hot fight.
Speaker 2: What doing.
Speaker 6: I don't know why why we're still talking about it?
Speaker 6: You get on with it, you know why? In the
Speaker 6: man thing? And you know, okay, so in the man thing. Look,
Speaker 6: it's not poor Israel. He's just copied something that other
Speaker 6: people put on him. But in the in the community,
Speaker 6: it cuts. It's cut deep. It's something that's cut deep.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you Nicola, wrongly or rightly.
Speaker 1: When I speak to other people about rugby league, okay,
Speaker 1: six people are out of ten, will bring up is
Speaker 1: your man?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but those six people, when they're teenage, sometimes I
Speaker 2: am doing something similar, they'll have a different view on it,
Speaker 2: won't They possibly? Possibly, but this is not But the
Speaker 2: reality is that again, it's not just fun. Just get
Speaker 2: on with it. It didn't kill someone. I don't know
Speaker 2: what we're still talking about.
Speaker 5: So so Latrell can go and do that, do drugs
Speaker 5: after a children's charity thing? Did he win at o
Speaker 5: car can go? Look we talked about last year. That's
Speaker 5: what he got in trouble for on that whole week. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so he can go do that and that's perfectly fine,
Speaker 5: completely celebrated. And then the other thing too. Slater completely
Speaker 5: slammed for removing d C. Didn't you guys get rid
Speaker 5: of Tedesco?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, are we talking about
Speaker 1: him getting questions about removing DC or we're talking about
Speaker 1: two different topics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so what happened?
Speaker 1: What happened Aaron Woods, yet went on his on his
Speaker 1: show on two, Triple Lamp said that I think Bill
Speaker 1: this Slater was the grub.
Speaker 2: But you know why he did that, because because because
Speaker 2: origin has has descended into it just another boring gain.
Speaker 2: He's just trying to spark something up between the two.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think since Paul Gallard had the
Speaker 2: two head comments, well we haven't seen anything anymore, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? So who's Aaron Woods anyway? I
Speaker 2: used to call him Sharon Woods when you had a
Speaker 2: long hair. But I mean, I think he's just doing
Speaker 2: it to cause a bit of headlines, like like what
Speaker 2: we've had. I thought Slater was pretty classy in his response,
Speaker 2: but I just thought, again.
Speaker 5: If he kept him in, he was he was. But
Speaker 5: if he kept him in, he was going to get backfire.
Speaker 5: If he removed him.
Speaker 2: Talking about you guys, Yeah, was the captain and after
Speaker 2: game one he was dropped.
Speaker 5: Look, yes, it's like I feel like that memory is
Speaker 5: very short.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I didn't criticize into but I didn't
Speaker 2: I see tomorrow and Tomorrow night, Billy is either going
Speaker 2: to be a hero or a villain. I mean, I
Speaker 2: I agree with the media that.
Speaker 1: I don't think d C was the problem because the
Speaker 1: problem was six guys in the middle.
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week. Obviously he went but
Speaker 2: couldn't make it.
Speaker 1: But but if if Billy says that he's he's I
Speaker 1: don't want him and I want didn't that's fine, that's cool.
Speaker 1: That's cool by me. That's not an issue. That's that's
Speaker 1: him making some big calls. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Because make no mistake, this is this is the third
Speaker 1: or the fourth game. If you lose, you'll lose and frustrate.
Speaker 1: For New South Walest is not crisis because we lost
Speaker 1: eight in a row. But for you guys, it would
Speaker 1: be crisis in terms of mentality and your never won.
Speaker 5: More than three in a row.
Speaker 2: There you go. I mean, it's I don't even think
Speaker 2: it's about Queensland, about Billy, About Billy. The pressure is
Speaker 2: on Slater, That's what it's not on Queensland. The pressures
Speaker 2: on Slater now like he got off to a great
Speaker 2: start as a coach, but but now he's lost I
Speaker 2: think four in a row. But the pressures on if
Speaker 2: you lose us tomorrow the two series back to back
Speaker 2: said he's and he's an upstart coach, great coach. You know,
Speaker 2: that's what people will tend to forget as well. He's
Speaker 2: an upstart, so you've got to stick with him and
Speaker 2: just give him time and see what happens.
Speaker 1: But let's let's see what happens. Let's see what happens
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, guys. But I think they're behind there behind
Speaker 1: the April. Last week the news US forwards crushed them and.
Speaker 2: Simple maybe Slater saw something intent we didn't because DC,
Speaker 2: he's falling off a cliff. That's actually since since that
Speaker 2: last game.
Speaker 5: What happened in the Eagles.
Speaker 2: Game exactly exactly.
Speaker 5: He wasn't good last week.
Speaker 2: He wasn't good too.
Speaker 5: He wasn't good.
Speaker 2: It was a good Yeah, he did.
Speaker 1: When I saw alone, when I saw the press of
Speaker 1: Billy a few hours ago and mentioned Paul Green and
Speaker 1: was it last year the year before, I think that's
Speaker 1: a bit of a stretch. It was a bit of
Speaker 1: a stretch. But I got a source spot for for Green.
Speaker 1: And as you remember, Nicola, we did a thing on
Speaker 1: on on Paul.
Speaker 2: We did. Yeah. All Billy Slater was saying is that
Speaker 2: he himself has a job in the media, and he
Speaker 2: says we're have a responsibility to be a little bit
Speaker 2: smart about how we speak about people. And I agree
Speaker 2: with him, by the way, one hundred percent. And he's
Speaker 2: always been super super pro and everything he's done right, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: This was just Aaron Woods trying to fire up something
Speaker 2: because he saw no one else doing it. No one
Speaker 2: in the New South Wales team's going to say anything
Speaker 2: because Larry Dady is just not that kind of coach,
Speaker 2: Billy Slater's not that kind of coach, and Queensland don't
Speaker 2: have a Gordon Tallas. So there's just there's no there's
Speaker 2: no there's nothing fueling tomorrow night's game. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's just not that you're right. In the media,
Speaker 2: it's been dead usually. It's just like the first Game one,
Speaker 2: we weren't even talking about it for most of the
Speaker 2: night of the night before we're talking about Galvin. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean? I mean, what like ship? What's happened?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I've spent a lot of
Speaker 2: time on YouTube today watching old origin games that I
Speaker 2: grew up on. Fuck what's happened? You know? I don't know. Seriously,
Speaker 2: in terms of the media, you're right they're not.
Speaker 1: The camps are not giving us too much to you.
Speaker 2: To talk about. Take take them, take the shackles off
Speaker 2: and let them throw a punch. That's what the fans
Speaker 2: want to see. Maybe maybe maybe maybe tomorrow and night. Nicota. Well,
Speaker 2: the thing that I don't understand. If you're someone, if
Speaker 2: you're losing by eighteen points with two minutes to go,
Speaker 2: why not throw a right hook? I mean, they can
Speaker 2: only sin be in you. They can't. They can't anything
Speaker 2: more than that would be would be there's name president
Speaker 2: for it, because I won't, right, won't.
Speaker 1: They won't give you in an orgy game, they won't
Speaker 1: give you anything more. I don't think that will anyway.
Speaker 1: Who knows this this day and age. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk a little bit more.
Speaker 5: I think there's a lot, there's a lot of them.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of just back and forth like crap
Speaker 5: in around the NRL at the moment.
Speaker 2: But even but even like in like the biggest talking
Speaker 2: point we've had out of Origin one leaning into Origin two,
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous when you think about it, is queens
Speaker 2: Land didn't kick off the Spencer Lenu and then Gordon
Speaker 2: tell Us saying he should play any minutes. We'll show
Speaker 2: me how prop forward it plays eighty minutes.
Speaker 1: He's a bench playing.
Speaker 2: But but like I mean, if that's the biggest talking point,
Speaker 2: we're in trouble is.
Speaker 1: Seriously well, you know, well, let's let's hope tomorrow on
Speaker 1: field things change. Whoever wins and whoever loses in old boy,
Speaker 1: Let's hope it's like Game three last year, which was
Speaker 1: something pretty special.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Moses is out, Mitch look out
Speaker 2: the torn calf, so he'll be out for six weeks,
Speaker 2: four to six weeks. So Louis, this is nothing I
Speaker 2: don't understand, right, why is it? I mean, Jerome Lewis,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an obvious selection, Nathan Cleary, Isaiah doing Edwoods,
Speaker 2: the combinations there, right, But why do you pick a
Speaker 2: squad of what is it twenty twenty one and then
Speaker 2: you call an external player to come in. What's the
Speaker 2: point of like Matt Burton, he has been the eighteenth
Speaker 2: man in fourteen years. What's the point having a squad
Speaker 2: a tenure? What's the point having a squad when you
Speaker 2: don't call on one of your reserves when someone gets injured. Crazy.
Speaker 2: Instead they're bringing someone externally into the starting lineup. That
Speaker 2: to me makes no sense at all. The NERL can't
Speaker 2: do that week to week.
Speaker 1: No crazy, I've gotta understand that. And you said that,
Speaker 1: Like you said, Matte Burton's been eighteenth man whatever for
Speaker 1: the last yeah, decade and decade on in half.
Speaker 2: So look like here's a five eight and the five
Speaker 2: eight got ruled out. There you go, there, you go? Oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Look in terms of who they brought in, probably probably
Speaker 1: the right the right person to bring in for for Mitch.
Speaker 1: But like I, like you said, they should pick a
Speaker 1: squad and stick to the squad. That's it. But it's
Speaker 1: not like that. It's been happening forever, Bottle. I remember
Speaker 1: back in the late eighties been picking outside the squad
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: I remember, what do you think?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I haven't really looked much at the
Speaker 5: new South Wales squad. Like I saw the change up
Speaker 5: and I just thought it was really cute that they
Speaker 5: could all play together again. But I was more focused,
Speaker 5: and obviously because I missed last week, I was more
Speaker 5: focused on the Queensland team and the changes in there.
Speaker 5: I just I'm really interested to see how they'll go
Speaker 5: in Perth. I'm really interested to see how the game
Speaker 5: goes like for me, I think just the way that
Speaker 5: the NRL has been this year, and I think everyone's
Speaker 5: kind of feeling the same. It's just kind of put
Speaker 5: a bad taste in my mouth around things like I
Speaker 5: always feel that things will go to a decider because
Speaker 5: it's just better right.
Speaker 2: For me here, of course sales and of course it is.
Speaker 2: Of course it is, yeah, so or.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't had like a whitewash in quite some time.
Speaker 2: Speaking of whitewash. Sorry you're speaking of whitewash. If speaking
Speaker 2: of wash, if if New South Wales win tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: do you want me to drive clean my jersey like
Speaker 2: tomorrow or wait until after game three?
Speaker 5: Wait till after game three? And you know we never
Speaker 5: announced that, so so guys, Nick and I had this running.
Speaker 5: Are we announcing it?
Speaker 2: I'll wear the Queensland. I will wear the Queensland jersey
Speaker 2: on this part. If we lose, I speak to my
Speaker 2: work with the with the Blonde.
Speaker 1: Anything to let me suggest to you regarding tomorrow and
Speaker 1: regarding I think most of our wishes of a decider
Speaker 1: in Sydney. Let me suggest to you that the whistle
Speaker 1: will be put in the pocket. Let me suggest to
Speaker 1: you that at most they'll be going back seven meters.
Speaker 1: If you'll see, it'll be really short. And the minute
Speaker 1: they shortened, the minute they shorten the d line, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Queensland comes roaring into the picture, roaring
Speaker 1: into the picture.
Speaker 2: I understand why we can't referee r L the way
Speaker 2: we referee Origin and Final.
Speaker 1: Let them go wish wish. But unfortunately we've seen in
Speaker 1: the deck all these decades.
Speaker 5: That legal case.
Speaker 2: Again, is that still going?
Speaker 1: Yeah, will take gays, I reckon before that gets received.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been going on for ten for what
Speaker 1: six years now? Anyway, I think Monster being a captain
Speaker 1: t I think it's an inspiring choice. And wait, do
Speaker 1: you see money takeover? What do you see him inspire
Speaker 1: everybody around him and he does it with his actions.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that the run on team, especially the Fourds,
Speaker 1: will be this Queensland team. I can't see it. I
Speaker 1: think kurk Man will be in for Harry, Harry Grant,
Speaker 1: protecting the protecting him from the first ten to fifteen minutes. Tea,
Speaker 1: I really I really do. I really do, And I suggest,
Speaker 1: Actually no, I don't suggest. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: try to holds down for the first fifteen ish minutes
Speaker 1: and then they're going to unleash Carrigan and and I
Speaker 1: for some thrust.
Speaker 2: And I think that's what Billy's thinking. I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Ruben Cater was a hooker in
Speaker 2: his junior when he first came. Yeah, that an option,
Speaker 2: that field option, Yes, yes, absolutely it is.
Speaker 1: I don't believe, I really, honestly in my gut, I
Speaker 1: don't believe that Harry he might but will pump twenty
Speaker 1: tackles into him straight away. I think, bang, yeah right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, hasvill go, we'll just look at
Speaker 1: where's Harry and I just he'll just run straight to Harry.
Speaker 1: So in fifteen twenty minutes you take his juice out
Speaker 1: of him and he can't do those little scoots he does.
Speaker 2: So that's me.
Speaker 1: See see what you get what you get with Tom
Speaker 1: Didon is he doesn't need the ball in his hands
Speaker 1: because he's one of the guys who can play without
Speaker 1: the balls, without the ball in his hands.
Speaker 2: The reason being is.
Speaker 1: How how how physical he is and where he places himself,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't really need but see Monster needs the
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, and some of the some of
Speaker 1: these other players like Kaylen Ponder, he needs.
Speaker 2: The ball in his hand.
Speaker 1: So he's he's probably the next best halfback and I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see how he goes because he's the
Speaker 1: best now for me.
Speaker 2: It's in the middle.
Speaker 1: If Food a waker, if Tino, if what's your thoughts
Speaker 1: on on Kurt kurtwill t in terms of in the
Speaker 1: starting starting.
Speaker 5: To Yeah, I think so, I was going to say
Speaker 5: before so Harry Grant up here. Poor Harry has been
Speaker 5: getting a little bit of flack of his performance, so
Speaker 5: there was points of contention around whether he would he's
Speaker 5: good enough to start. I'm really happy like to have
Speaker 5: Kate well, like I think even for what he's doing
Speaker 5: for the Warriors, he's just a force. It's nice to
Speaker 5: see him in maroon again having come from the Broncos.
Speaker 5: But on the point of didon like, look, DC is great,
Speaker 5: it's not. Eagles haven't been awesome, Like they're a bit
Speaker 5: up and down. His performance hasn't been one hundred responded
Speaker 5: back to that, but.
Speaker 1: I'm not he hasn't responded either what you do take
Speaker 1: away is a long kicking game. I mean Tommy, Tommy
Speaker 1: has got a very good short kicking game, but he
Speaker 1: hasn't got an outstanding long kicking game. You're going to
Speaker 1: leave it to Kaitlin, and you're going to probably leave.
Speaker 2: It an interesting stat on Kurk Capewell. He's leading NRL
Speaker 2: and miss tackles this season. Yeah, yeah he does, he
Speaker 2: miss Yeah, he won't be missing anything tomorrow too. But
Speaker 2: number two they missed it. But they run a lot
Speaker 2: to him too. Yeah, but it's also a lot of like.
Speaker 5: I love it all right, but did is everywhere?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, no, no, no, it's so excited and that and
Speaker 2: that's what I say.
Speaker 1: He's he doesn't have to have the ball in his
Speaker 1: hands to be effective.
Speaker 2: Toms the future of this.
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, No, If whatever happens, that's it now is
Speaker 1: the half back.
Speaker 2: You watch Monster tomorrow night. That's what I meant. You
Speaker 2: watch him go another leg.
Speaker 1: If the first fifteen minutes to the or nickel, this
Speaker 1: pack can hold the new South Folds pack, and Monster
Speaker 1: skirts around the edges and picks up Ponga or even
Speaker 1: the hammer, and they score one or two tries and
Speaker 1: and they're twelve nelve with fifteen minutes gone.
Speaker 7: God, God help you hold on, everybody, hold on, make
Speaker 7: a big hold on. I'll make a big call. And
Speaker 7: I don't necessarily think it's around what he'll do Monster individually,
Speaker 7: but I think he'll be so good as a captain.
Speaker 7: I think that Harry Green could be in trouble at
Speaker 7: Melbourne Storm. I'm serious. I Reckon is a future Storm captain.
Speaker 7: I think he's I think I think that guy that's
Speaker 7: exactly what he needs, that's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what when when when he when he thought it
Speaker 1: was going to I thought Billy was going to pick Tino.
Speaker 1: I don't know he's a forward. I just thought he
Speaker 1: was going to pick Tino. When he picked Monst, I thought.
Speaker 1: The first thing I said to myself is inspirational. Inspirational,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No one can say no.
Speaker 1: And it's going to make his performance and him because
Speaker 1: I don't think he's much of a talker, but let
Speaker 1: me tell you, everybody will follow him with his actions,
Speaker 1: and his actions tomorrow are going to be something we've
Speaker 1: probably never seen.
Speaker 2: A big talker. He I think, Okay, I think so,
Speaker 2: even if it's interesting to see if he's a talker.
Speaker 1: As well, and and and he's an action man, which
Speaker 1: I know is an action man when he's in the mood.
Speaker 1: And he's going to be in the mood tomorrow and
Speaker 1: so and hopefully Kaitlin is as well. It's going to
Speaker 1: be something very very feast to see on on on
Speaker 1: you so folws side, Well, Niko said about Jerome coming
Speaker 1: in and and Jeran will offer something else. I guess
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a downgrade in my mind to
Speaker 1: to Mitch. But what he does off is you know,
Speaker 1: you know when you buy a new pajamas and you're
Speaker 1: just about to put him on, and you see your
Speaker 1: old pajamas on the pillar and you put them on,
Speaker 1: and they just they just fit and they're really comfortable.
Speaker 2: They're really nice and snugly.
Speaker 1: Well that's what that's what your n gives us, you know,
Speaker 1: it's nice and snugly. He's gonna he's gonna he's going
Speaker 1: to fit in wonderful because on one side, he's gonna
Speaker 1: have Nathan pretty much meet him at twelve years old.
Speaker 1: On the other side, he's gonna he's gonna have basically
Speaker 1: meet him when he was nineteen. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and at the back. When he looks at the back,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some some crazy man called Dylan Edwards,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So he's gonna feel really,
Speaker 1: really comfortable. But one thing he does do is unlike Mitch,
Speaker 1: he drifts, not doesn't go, doesn't run sideways. He drifts.
Speaker 1: And what he does is he runners run angles. So
Speaker 1: what what he tries to do is he tries to
Speaker 1: stretch the line so he can catch say, his inside
Speaker 1: runners can catch someone either sliding on shoulders. So this
Speaker 1: he'll keep on, keep on doing it. The good thing
Speaker 1: is when he gets tag wooed, if that inside runner
Speaker 1: gets tackled, well, he looks on the.
Speaker 2: Right and he's gonna hit.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit Nathan's gonna hit Nathan with Edward's coming around.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be pretty. It's gonna be very very
Speaker 1: very Panthers Like I can't wait, honestly, honestly can't wait.
Speaker 2: And you know what can I can?
Speaker 1: I just get a shout out to Max King, a
Speaker 1: man who, let's say, in terms of talent, probably not
Speaker 1: as talented as a lot of these players on this roster,
Speaker 1: but just perseverance injuries, setbacks. The guy, the guy's a monster.
Speaker 1: He just keeps on keeping on. And last week when
Speaker 1: he did play for the Dogs, he came back from
Speaker 1: for Origin one, he was different human beings. So just
Speaker 1: comes to show you again, just comes to show you.
Speaker 1: And he's not a youngster. He's not a youngster. It
Speaker 1: comes to show you if you just persevere, what can happen. Again,
Speaker 1: the biggest issue for Queensland is pain Huss. The pain
Speaker 1: Huss run. Then you've got the next tackle after paint hass,
Speaker 1: which the line is always in shock. But then you've
Speaker 1: got the pain Hass to run, which is a dummy runner,
Speaker 1: is a decoy and he and two people come in
Speaker 1: because they've got to think they might they might pass
Speaker 1: him the ball and then the line gets stretched and
Speaker 1: shortened again. So there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 1: of little little battles around the field.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see.
Speaker 1: And that's whoever wins, who wins more of those little
Speaker 1: battles all around the field, will win the game.
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to I can't wait.
Speaker 1: It's it's intriguing, it's intriguing watching them taking them off
Speaker 1: and I honestly don't believe that we're going to come
Speaker 1: to Sydney with to you know what course yourself. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I don't want that. Channel nine don't.
Speaker 2: Want that, you know.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say this, Yeah, yeah, I actually want
Speaker 1: to decide. Look down deep.
Speaker 2: I want to. I want to. I want to end
Speaker 2: it ended tomorrow. But really I want to.
Speaker 1: I want in two weeks, I want to get get
Speaker 1: in front of my television and say, what's going to happen. Well,
Speaker 1: we all want to end it, tea. We all want
Speaker 1: to end it, you know what I mean? But then
Speaker 1: the then the third one, I'll lose something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I think and and obviously we don't have
Speaker 5: the greatest track record in in Sydney, but we did
Speaker 5: win there last year.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Sydney Sydney was Game one. Yeah, and you know.
Speaker 1: Sydney because they because they played. They all play at Homebush.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's a soul state. It's a
Speaker 1: solar stadium, so it's not too daunting. This look, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've never been w a but I think
Speaker 1: it looks soulless. It's like AFL Stadium Nicola. It's humongous around.
Speaker 1: It looks a bit soulless. But you know what, Billy.
Speaker 2: But the fans, the Western Australian fans have come aboard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it's it's new for them, it's different for them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just hope Billy, which they didn't have
Speaker 1: the first game tea, I hope he may he makes
Speaker 1: it number one personal and number two emotional. He's got
Speaker 1: to make it really emotional for these For these guys,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this Queensland thing works anymore that
Speaker 1: that will to them because these kids have grown up
Speaker 1: in a different era.
Speaker 2: But that's the problem, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: But he's got to make it emotional. He's got to
Speaker 1: make it emotional. On Nicola, the spice.
Speaker 5: And everyone's like how they're saying Queensland is don't get origin.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure we have lugged in more times than
Speaker 5: we haven't everyone.
Speaker 2: I don't think either side gets it anyone more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the spice is gone, the spices.
Speaker 5: The fans get it.
Speaker 2: There's nothing, there's nothing to get. They'll run in handbags
Speaker 2: at ten paces, grab each other's jerseys and get pulled apart.
Speaker 2: And you know, you can't even put a bee hit
Speaker 2: on anymore. They bear the shoulder charge. I mean, what's
Speaker 2: left Seriously, you know these days, someone gets tackled around
Speaker 2: the chest if it looks and they got first contact,
Speaker 2: hit the ball, yeah, but then it bounced up and
Speaker 2: hit his head. Yeah, but hit the ball. I agree.
Speaker 2: I said, if he looks dangerous, it's got to be dangerous.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, no, no it doesn't.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was watching, I think it was it
Speaker 5: was the Rabbito's game and Gay Gray rolled the ball
Speaker 5: back and I don't know what happened. He must have
Speaker 5: clipped old mate, and then he's like lying on the ground.
Speaker 5: Everyone's checking his neck and up mate, like my kids
Speaker 5: keeping more injuries coming out of their room.
Speaker 2: The last the last game, the last game I went to.
Speaker 2: It was Dolphin hearbe me farm Worth. He got caught
Speaker 2: in the crush of tackle. He didn't move for two minutes.
Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, I thought he was dead. It was
Speaker 2: a crush of tackle, not a high tackle.
Speaker 5: And then he got because he's English and he's from
Speaker 5: a soccer players, well.
Speaker 2: Then when when when I'll give you the tip before
Speaker 2: he's getting worse than soccer worse right then when they
Speaker 2: got the parenty he got up and jogged back in
Speaker 2: the position.
Speaker 1: They on on the joy gray tackle whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it, and that was on Montoya. I liked
Speaker 1: when he came over and to check on him. Very
Speaker 1: classy he was.
Speaker 2: He made a really good try saving.
Speaker 1: Joe. Joel was one of the better players.
Speaker 5: Is such a He's so wonderful. It's such a shame
Speaker 5: because remember we were so excited at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the year that he was like first for days like them,
Speaker 5: and then the change around with La Trail coming in
Speaker 5: and everything else, like such a shame. I know, I
Speaker 5: know that there's a bit of movement and everything else,
Speaker 5: but he is an underutilized.
Speaker 2: Player absolutely in my opinion.
Speaker 1: He keeps on getting put on the bench.
Speaker 2: I think most clubs would take him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, I'll say it again, there's there's there's there's players,
Speaker 1: and then there's there's players like like JII with you know,
Speaker 1: if you were six foot with those attributes, he'll be
Speaker 1: probably on the bench here origin t so because he's
Speaker 1: five foot one whatever it is. And told you what,
Speaker 1: he plays well above his weight and well above his size.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, like I said, I that he learned very.
Speaker 5: Well, very quickly, like last year, he was getting smashed
Speaker 5: and he learned to use his height very quickly. And
Speaker 5: and he just you just if you watch just the
Speaker 5: highlights of him, he just got stronger, faster like he.
Speaker 5: I love watching him play because he's just a unit.
Speaker 2: Remind me T Dolphins Jr.
Speaker 5: I think so.
Speaker 2: A question.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know he's I know he was born. I
Speaker 1: know he was born in Liverpool. But he played up
Speaker 1: at didn't he he moved up to the bar?
Speaker 5: I think he. I feel like he must have moved
Speaker 5: up and I'm back. No, he he's Runaway Gold Coast.
Speaker 2: He played for Okay.
Speaker 5: And he was signed by the Broncos, but he was
Speaker 5: pursued by the Reds. But he was at Runaway based
Speaker 5: girls here. I went to T. S. S on the
Speaker 5: Gold Coast, which is our private school for boys on the.
Speaker 2: So yeah, very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look one wrap up Origin. I can't I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what unfolds and the team
Speaker 1: who wins those little microd moments at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, that's who who's going to win the game.
Speaker 2: And I can't wait.
Speaker 5: I can't wait just imagining me in this.
Speaker 2: You read my mind, You read my mind. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: picturing that right now. I would I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I think we're going to come to Sydney one all
Speaker 1: and then then more banter the next next week.
Speaker 2: That's what happened last year. The team in one game
Speaker 2: one lost the next two. Never say never. Yeah, let's
Speaker 2: let's move into around fifteen years olds. Sharks bounce back
Speaker 2: with another winner with the Dragons thirty points to eighteen
Speaker 2: at Shark Park. They've been a little bit unpredictable of
Speaker 2: the Dragons. What's the go with Cayle Fanning? And why
Speaker 2: has he not being dropped? There?
Speaker 1: Good question in Nicola? Good question?
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it?
Speaker 1: What did did you say last week? Nepotism? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Look is he playing?
Speaker 1: Is he playing?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: But you know, and who do you replace him with?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know who they've got underneath.
Speaker 1: They've got an eighteen year old kid. Yeah, he's apparently
Speaker 1: he's cover you know what? With Ilius, I got this
Speaker 1: funny feeling that he's too good for the Regies. But
Speaker 1: not first in between in between plays, I think Carl.
Speaker 1: When I look at Carl play, to me, it looks
Speaker 1: at a good fourteen off the bench, first change, maybe
Speaker 1: at hooker, maybe at five A drafted very uninspiring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what can I say? He misses the tackles, he takes
Speaker 1: the wrong option. The issue is this, they get at
Speaker 1: the start of the games, they get good ball and
Speaker 1: they go into good ball areas. So it's up to
Speaker 1: the halves to bank the bank, bank the points. It's
Speaker 1: not happening, so it's it's all on. It's all not
Speaker 1: King Ponger.
Speaker 2: He's Aden. The youngster's Adeen.
Speaker 1: And what we've seen glimpses, he looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to be a good thing, but he's going to learn
Speaker 1: on the job. There's not much he can do these days.
Speaker 1: That's the way he's not like back in the eighties
Speaker 1: they came ready. So Carl, it's all up to Carl,
Speaker 1: because he's the first grade now for six years or more,
Speaker 1: so you think you'll be given us giving you more.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The fans are upset, the meters got onto it. They're
Speaker 1: going out, they're going on the flanet, they're heating. They're
Speaker 1: heading him up and they're not wrong, they're not wrong.
Speaker 1: But who he replaced him with. This is the issue
Speaker 1: is who do you play, do you put just another
Speaker 1: back roll who can pass the ball.
Speaker 2: There's more pressure now because his sons.
Speaker 1: As well, So, you know what, it must be really hard.
Speaker 2: If you're not. I was going to say, if you're
Speaker 2: it's okay. But even even your coach at Paramounta, they're
Speaker 2: Brad after he had issues as well, and that's why
Speaker 2: he moved him on. That's what they moved on. Shoe.
Speaker 2: His name was Jake. Jake. Well, yeah, yes, so he
Speaker 2: hasn't exactly said the wall.
Speaker 1: No he has, he hasn't, but I mean when it
Speaker 1: all heated up, they moved him and he moved him on,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it was Brad probably said, listen,
Speaker 1: maybe you should you should go and perse be somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Anything to take out of the Sharks perform on this.
Speaker 1: You know what the the.
Speaker 2: They're a funny team. They're a funny team. Issue.
Speaker 1: The issue was this the Sharks in the second half
Speaker 1: when when the game turned because Dragons are scored early
Speaker 1: and they looked fine early and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: back into the second half, Sharks came back. You know what,
Speaker 1: the Sharks supporters tell me that they're they're back, and
Speaker 1: they're flying and they're right. I didn't see that. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see them play this week. They're playing the Broncos,
Speaker 1: I think, and then they will tell us a story.
Speaker 1: I'm not fully convinced with the show. I actually didn't
Speaker 1: enjoy the game. Watching this game, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not going to say it was a
Speaker 2: dud game, but I just didn't enjoy watching it. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Was it a not quite but it wasn't far away.
Speaker 1: I just didn't enjoy it. I didn't enjoy it. The
Speaker 1: Sharks one and there you go for all. Blake was
Speaker 1: absolutely again sensational. Dragons were ordinary. I didn't enjoy it.
Speaker 2: What can I say when I when I'm not inspired
Speaker 2: by Rugby League games? I wanted hard to say things
Speaker 2: about it. Artie's not here, so we'll pick up the
Speaker 2: three two ones next week? Yeah, next week? You got
Speaker 2: anything for us on this one? Did you watch it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I actually didn't watch this one because I was getting
Speaker 5: interviewed for my book, which is exciting. But I was
Speaker 5: going for the Dragons because I didn't like the Sharks.
Speaker 5: But what I got confused about was Trindle got art
Speaker 5: fine for a high tackle, but when I looked back,
Speaker 5: only Jesse Remy and was put in the sindin. I
Speaker 5: don't understand what happened.
Speaker 2: Report. Yeah, inconsistencies just too much, too much. That's why
Speaker 2: fans get frustrated. That's why fans get frustrated. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: saw young Son sign with the Bulldogs. George. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think he's like sixteen fifteen six something like that, seventeen.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's interesting. I heard rumblings, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: he signed.
Speaker 2: That's what I read. Yeah, probably, I know. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's good. God hasn't met him yet. But yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: I read today that he signed sign there in what
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 1: I just want to I just want to point out
Speaker 1: or give flows to Blake Brayley. He he decided to run.
Speaker 1: I keep on saying, Blake Brayley is a really really
Speaker 1: good dummy, half better than he shows us this week
Speaker 1: or last week. He ran, and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: he absolutely ripped the heart out of St. George and
Speaker 1: I love to see it. Adam fanour Blake the guy,
Speaker 1: the guy. Maybe last week and maybe the fish had him,
Speaker 1: but let me tell you, when he's on, he's on.
Speaker 1: And he just ran and ran and ran and ripped
Speaker 1: the heart out of against St.
Speaker 2: George. Good to see Brittain Nicker are back running lines
Speaker 2: and can he run? Can he runner? Can he run
Speaker 2: the line? T I don't like Trindle. I don't believe
Speaker 2: in Trindle.
Speaker 1: I think they have paid him last year for four
Speaker 1: or five good games. But he had a good game
Speaker 1: this week with Nickel and the player that or the
Speaker 1: or the shark shark fans hate for some reason. I
Speaker 1: don't want to sign him. Will Kennedy had another good game,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what what they see there and.
Speaker 2: Saint George, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't you know what did you see the the
Speaker 1: King Tonga attempted chip and chase?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the five eight. His name is King Tonga,
Speaker 2: King Tonga. King Tonga is otherwise known as ming Ming. Yes.
Speaker 2: I'm going back to the rest of the day, all right, Okay,
Speaker 2: man have to do the Islanders anyway, Let's move on.
Speaker 1: He's done a chip and chase, and I think Ronaldo
Speaker 1: got the boy made school.
Speaker 2: To try, so that was the type of type of
Speaker 2: the day they had. Got they always try.
Speaker 1: And I think he's injured injured now and the forwards
Speaker 1: beside Clemor and Couchman. Very underwhelming, Yeah, very underwhelmed. Uh
Speaker 1: the school school school says it all and looks and
Speaker 1: Georgia developing Team Sharks. They say they're in the window.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. I thought they would.
Speaker 2: They're struggling more this year than they have the last three.
Speaker 2: I reckon what about Friday Night the Gold Coast they
Speaker 2: finally got off the ground over Manly what's going on with?
Speaker 2: Mainly so good?
Speaker 5: I had so you know, Kurt and Lance their friends
Speaker 5: of mine, LINEA works for me and Kurt's team is
Speaker 5: the Titans, like die Hard, and I had the pleasure
Speaker 5: of telling him he had the wooden spoon you watch
Speaker 5: the Bronco shit. But but yeah, they went to the
Speaker 5: game and we were going to go and like is
Speaker 5: and well our friends went as well, and it was
Speaker 5: just too cold and I was like, noah, I'm so tired.
Speaker 5: But they're like, I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 5: it's going to go. Was like Titans are going to
Speaker 5: win all day like one hundred because they weren't tipped
Speaker 5: to win. But and you know, people ask like sometimes
Speaker 5: obviously I'm wrong about things, but when you look at
Speaker 5: obviously the pressure that Des is under cart Pierre's in
Speaker 5: and it's just and if you guys watched it at
Speaker 5: the stadium, wasn't that busy. But sometimes the Titans just
Speaker 5: pull it out, you know. And I I really enjoyed
Speaker 5: this game, like really one because I hate it, but yeah,
Speaker 5: I really I think I'm just still a bit burnt
Speaker 5: after watching the Men game. But yeah, no, it was
Speaker 5: such a good game. And it was freezing for us,
Speaker 5: for Gold Coast, it was freezing like Eagles would have
Speaker 5: been used to the weather, but it was like six
Speaker 5: seven degrees. So good, such a good game. But did
Speaker 5: you guys catch the highlight? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I catch more than the hollows. Nicola Tea's right, It
Speaker 1: was a fun game to watch. It was a fun
Speaker 1: game to watch. You know what, Aj Brimson, he's a fullback,
Speaker 1: full stop. I don't want to hear about I don't
Speaker 1: want to tell you. I'm blocking my ees, I'm closing
Speaker 1: my eyes. He's a fullback. If he ever gets to move,
Speaker 1: you know, if Daisy moves him again, you know why
Speaker 1: he died. He's the fullbacks, simple as that, Nicole. Sometimes
Speaker 1: Dais he's trying to teach him something and they're probably
Speaker 1: good on the training field, but when it comes when
Speaker 1: it comes to the paddic that't they don't actually do it.
Speaker 2: Guess what they did it?
Speaker 1: What they what they try to do is because they
Speaker 1: got so much strike power on the edges, they try
Speaker 1: to go edges quickly.
Speaker 2: So it's a little.
Speaker 1: It's a spin on what what Jason's doing, a spin
Speaker 1: on what c r is doing? Okay, guess what. It's
Speaker 1: beautiful to watch Calpierra. How many tries have he scored?
Speaker 5: Tea three?
Speaker 1: He tries and he's a freak? Is he is he
Speaker 1: insane or what? He's a freak? A Carpier is a freak.
Speaker 5: According to he's been a bit quiet this year, but
Speaker 5: he just he killed it. Okay.
Speaker 2: According according to the media, some sessions of the media,
Speaker 2: there's rumblings coming out of Brookvale there that Sea Bowl.
Speaker 2: The professor is up to his old tricks with the
Speaker 2: spreadsheets and all that, and the players just aren't they
Speaker 2: gave they gave the players. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: What's that. It's a document, It's a document, that's what
Speaker 2: It's what Garvin's manager gave. But apparently apparently Sea Bowls
Speaker 2: sending the players, all these spreadsheets and stuff, and these
Speaker 2: guys are like, they're not that way incline. So if
Speaker 2: he hasn't learned that lesson yet, you know, you know
Speaker 2: what I feel.
Speaker 1: I feel for the professor because I honestly believe he's
Speaker 1: a good coach, Nicleta.
Speaker 2: I honestly believe he needs an interpreter. Yeah, in the communication.
Speaker 2: At some stage you lose him, you lose the track.
Speaker 1: And Okay, but I've got some notes here and the
Speaker 1: very the very first night.
Speaker 2: I've got is this bad. They went very good. You
Speaker 2: know what. You've been calling for this over over a yeah,
Speaker 2: well over a year. Tommy.
Speaker 1: You know, once upon a time he had size, he
Speaker 1: had power. One good year, he had speed. Okay, now
Speaker 1: tamp on, Tommy, tamp on Tommy. Now he runs and
Speaker 1: he can't push through the line. There's nothing injuries he's
Speaker 1: carrying injuries. He's not he's injury proyne. He's had one
Speaker 1: good year and he's just been injury riddled ever since.
Speaker 1: I don't doubt his talent, but he can't on the film. No, No,
Speaker 1: you're right. I think his time is up. He can't
Speaker 1: play fullback number one because it's not a position for him.
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a it's a position for a
Speaker 1: young guy who's dynamic. The only guy who can do
Speaker 1: with over thirty is Teddy Hopper's got to go fullback
Speaker 1: because he's the dynamic, he's the dangerous player. Tommy's time
Speaker 1: is up. Look, he's good with his hands. He might
Speaker 1: never be good with his with his feet again, or
Speaker 1: with his power again, because you know what, it's really
Speaker 1: sad when you see him running and they tackle him
Speaker 1: like a bag of SPUs.
Speaker 2: It's really sad. Two years, three years ago, he was
Speaker 2: when he got them.
Speaker 1: He every time you touched the ball, he was like
Speaker 1: he had Spiderweb.
Speaker 2: How many good years do you have before that?
Speaker 1: Probably a half.
Speaker 2: That's my point. I'm hearing you. You're calling it and
Speaker 2: waiting for him to get better. It's one of those
Speaker 2: players who has a great season and the media just
Speaker 2: picks him up and carries him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was waiting for him to get better
Speaker 1: with a hamstring shoulders this that well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I think it's all caught up with him. I believe
Speaker 1: there's something on DC's mind because guess what, Rugby League's
Speaker 1: not one of them that's how bad he's going well.
Speaker 2: Is obviously look to be dropped as the Queensland captain
Speaker 2: is obviously a massive self esteem blow to anyone happened
Speaker 2: to Teddy last year. He wasn't great after he got
Speaker 2: dropped either. You know, it's it's not an easy thing
Speaker 2: to do because it's not backlash from Queensland by the way,
Speaker 2: I know, I haven't seen anyone, no, no, no, but he'll
Speaker 2: put pressure on himself because he's a professional. So it's
Speaker 2: not an easy think probably to deal with. I mean,
Speaker 2: I haven't been through it, but we've never been at
Speaker 2: that level. But I don't forget all the bullshit is
Speaker 2: going through it mainly, that's the thing. What was not
Speaker 2: playing he's injured, he's injured. Yeah, I don't forget this
Speaker 2: is this is this week. He's also going through all
Speaker 2: this crap where he announced he's not going to be
Speaker 2: there next year and apparently there's a deal with the
Speaker 2: roosters that hasn't been announced yet, apparently getting second thoughts
Speaker 2: and this is all going to be on his mind
Speaker 2: at the moment.
Speaker 1: And plus what's happening mainly with and yeah, anyway that
Speaker 1: all of Kawata's injury is a big setback. He was
Speaker 1: the only guy pushing through the line, and he looks
Speaker 1: like as long as his shoulders his shoulder a little rico.
Speaker 1: He's gone for Yeah, it looks like he's gone for
Speaker 1: the season. Was lucky they've still got Luke Brooks. Well,
Speaker 1: look's not playing the best either at the moment, and
Speaker 1: I think the Professor's got to do something. He's got
Speaker 1: to he's got to drop. Somebody's got to rejig that
Speaker 1: lineup because this is not working. He's not working.
Speaker 2: I always thought Luke Brooks looks like a miniature. That's
Speaker 2: just me probably, so you know what, Uh, it's.
Speaker 5: A stale team, Like I feel like those names.
Speaker 2: Is there not a reflection of the coaching style though?
Speaker 2: Spreadsheets and PowerPoint? I mean, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: spreadsheets and powerpoints?
Speaker 5: You know what, Nick, I don't mean to ignite you
Speaker 5: mid mid podcast, but the teams that aren't going well
Speaker 5: at the moment, the coaches of the teams aren't going well.
Speaker 5: There's four their manager is all the same. What do
Speaker 5: you mean, Dragons, Eagles, Cowboys, and the one Moses is
Speaker 5: their manager. I was thinking about this today.
Speaker 2: The coaches manager you're talking about the coaches. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: that's I mean, that's that's drawing a long bar. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not like he affects the performances as coaches, right,
Speaker 2: I was I was.
Speaker 5: Talking about a few and yes, recruiters, but for other
Speaker 5: people this week, and I was talking about it, and
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't think the guys think that
Speaker 5: there's any conflict with player manager coach, like being a
Speaker 5: manager of coaches and players in the same team. And
Speaker 5: you know, obviously we're very mesh inn NRL. But I
Speaker 5: like to challenge my thought process. But I just wonder
Speaker 5: if I don't know, I just think it's a little
Speaker 5: bit interesting and what happens.
Speaker 2: In a Sorry, Yeah, I get it, and you and
Speaker 2: I have this right, but I just feel I see
Speaker 2: both sides of it, right, Because yeah, you can say
Speaker 2: there's a conflict of interest if you're managing a coach
Speaker 2: and a player at the same club whatever. But I
Speaker 2: think if you take that away, you're stepping into the
Speaker 2: restraint of trade territory where a person's market becomes a
Speaker 2: lot smaller. Because I can either manage a coach or players.
Speaker 2: I can't have both. So at what point you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, then, like there's only so many coaches
Speaker 2: and players these people can represent and and they're all
Speaker 2: trying to get a piece of the same pie. So
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know if you can fix that.
Speaker 2: And I think and I don't think it's an issue
Speaker 2: with the good clubs that are run well either. To
Speaker 2: be honest, I'm not sure. It's a bit over my
Speaker 2: head the.
Speaker 1: Managing players and and and coaches. But the question you
Speaker 1: you raise, Tea, is there a conflict a conflict of
Speaker 1: interest with players?
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there should be a cap that you can
Speaker 2: only have maximum three at any one club with a
Speaker 2: combination of either or whether it's first grade coach or players. Right,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, because then because it
Speaker 2: does get to appointment, it does get to a point
Speaker 2: where if you have five or six and you've got
Speaker 2: a stronghold over the club, you've got leverage. Moses got
Speaker 2: five or six. Yeah, sorry what you're saying.
Speaker 5: No, I just so because it's very much it's very
Speaker 5: similar to recruitment, right, And in recruitment there are dodgy
Speaker 5: recruiters that go, you know what, Nick, I'm going to
Speaker 5: put you forward for this role. Tell them you're on
Speaker 5: twenty k more. Tell them you've got I'm just going
Speaker 5: to change your resume. Tell them you've got all this experience.
Speaker 5: But hey, when I want to recruit some teams, like
Speaker 5: team members for your team years like look after me,
Speaker 5: all right, And then it like there's if we And
Speaker 5: obviously I think from a recruitment perspective, and I go,
Speaker 5: are they being prematurely celebrated or pushed? And then now
Speaker 5: they've got these contracts and then I just and obviously
Speaker 5: I think about it from a different perspective, which is
Speaker 5: why this is so great. And I'm not saying that,
Speaker 5: you know, all the four coaches of those teams like
Speaker 5: Payden and Seabolt and stuff, are all because of Moses.
Speaker 5: I just I find it very interesting, and I think
Speaker 5: it is a big conflict. Yeah, and I don't disagree
Speaker 5: Nick that they wouldn't have much of a pond to
Speaker 5: fish from either. But yeah, I agree with the cap.
Speaker 5: But and you know, I didn't mean to jump in there,
Speaker 5: but I thought it was.
Speaker 1: And I you're right, it's pretty It's pretty easy for
Speaker 1: me as Moses to go to Sea Bowl and say,
Speaker 1: you know, problem, you can have monster but I've got
Speaker 1: these two youngsters as well, and they want three hundred
Speaker 1: a thousand, and I'm going to give. If you want Monster,
Speaker 1: You've you've got to take these too. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: positive that's happened. I can guarantee you it's happened. Not
Speaker 1: every club, but not And I just put I'll just
Speaker 1: put Poor Sea Bowl just because first he's on my mind.
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure that conversation has had somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what, we don't know, we don't know.
Speaker 5: Just yeah, I just I feel like there's and again,
Speaker 5: like as you guys, and I've worked, you know, obviously
Speaker 5: at that community level and had been privy to how
Speaker 5: certain things work in different clubs, but I just it
Speaker 5: annoys me how poorly some of it is managed. And
Speaker 5: you know, everyone, like even when I talk to my mates,
Speaker 5: like you know, even you Nick, that's just the way
Speaker 5: it is. Everyone who knows me well enough. I don't
Speaker 5: agree with how things are, so actively try and.
Speaker 2: Change them, challenge the status quote.
Speaker 1: So yeah, look, just at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: mainly's got some soul searching to do, and apparently there's
Speaker 1: another coach hovering around, so we'll watch Michael, So we'll
Speaker 1: watch he's not even a full time assistant. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: watch what happens there. And the Titans are the team
Speaker 1: of one of the teams of the Pod, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to call them the fun team when they're in
Speaker 1: that mood. And how about were we go to the
Speaker 1: next game, Nicola and moving on to Saturday Nights. So
Speaker 1: the Knights Roosters close game Roosters up in Newcastle got
Speaker 1: away with at twelve eight. There was some controversy in
Speaker 1: this one, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Look, I didn't think it was the highest of quality
Speaker 1: games Nicola.
Speaker 2: The first first half.
Speaker 1: I think the Roosters were basically sleepwalking. Knights had all
Speaker 1: the pill and they had all all the field advantage,
Speaker 1: but just couldn't just could not put away the Rusters
Speaker 1: just couldn't put them away. But they did score eight points.
Speaker 1: You know what if I told you the Knights had
Speaker 1: more possession, ran more meters, had more post contact meters,
Speaker 1: made more line breaks, uh, kicked longer and play played
Speaker 1: the ball quicker, It's a no brainder two. Yeah they're one,
Speaker 1: haven't they?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I I feel bad for the Nights because what they
Speaker 5: didn't Roses didn't scored till like the sixty first minute
Speaker 5: or something. Because I watched this game and then like
Speaker 5: the last try, the seventy first when I had done nothing.
Speaker 1: Was that it was a controversial tri team.
Speaker 2: What do you think the one that the grounded with
Speaker 2: the forum Yeah, and the six Yeah. Something I've always understood.
Speaker 2: I've always understood downward pressure with any part of the body.
Speaker 2: Is that right? Okay?
Speaker 1: So technically by law it's a try. Yeah, the tribes
Speaker 1: to the eye, slow moor t If.
Speaker 2: You ground the ball with your grown it's still a trying. Well,
Speaker 2: it's got to be got to be for hand, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but well then it's a try to try. Yeah, try,
Speaker 2: but in the.
Speaker 1: But but not just saying there's more than two arms.
Speaker 1: But what of an orangin two in the girl in
Speaker 1: the Girls or sorry three? Isabelle Kelly, Isabelle Isabelle Kelly
Speaker 1: dived over and didn't put the ball on the ground, okay,
Speaker 1: and it was it was ruled no try. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what.
Speaker 2: Because I know there is no It's gonna sound ridiculous,
Speaker 2: but I'm being honest, because I thought it was any
Speaker 2: part of the body.
Speaker 1: No, Okay, it used to be back in the day,
Speaker 1: used to be and he haven't changed it for arm.
Speaker 2: Because some parts of the body extend out sometimes, so
Speaker 2: maybe there's an unfair advantage of a double movement.
Speaker 5: No, what I was saying was so he didn't do
Speaker 5: anything for like seventy minutes. Then Tosco it was the
Speaker 5: second try that Resa did the minute that he just
Speaker 5: creates that assist. Everyone's like, oh King, I'm like, he
Speaker 5: has not done anything for seventy minutes.
Speaker 1: He ran two hundred and fifty three, but he did
Speaker 1: it when it mattered to He ran two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty three meters tea. He was the only one showing
Speaker 1: life in the team that was basically sleepwalking.
Speaker 2: He created, He.
Speaker 1: Created the try and he was he was leading a
Speaker 1: bunch of kids because there's a lot of injuries.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: I know you'd dislike him, and I get it, but
Speaker 1: I disliked I can dislike isral Man, Okay, But I
Speaker 1: could say to you that he's an outstanding rugby league player.
Speaker 2: He's an outstanding rugby league player. Teddy this year has
Speaker 2: had his best year he's ever had.
Speaker 5: To be fair. But to be fair, if Tedesco had
Speaker 5: done more stuff in the seventeen minutes, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. But I feel like he didn't do that
Speaker 5: much to warrant that massive celebration event. Like I can
Speaker 5: say that he's a good player, you know, he's he's decent,
Speaker 5: but I just I feel like they held them off
Speaker 5: for like sixty minutes. Ever done that.
Speaker 2: I think that's part of it too. I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: good teams win ugly, and I guess he stood up
Speaker 2: when when somebody needed to. But I mean, personally, I
Speaker 2: would have had him in the Blues team ahead of
Speaker 2: I think. I'm not talking about this game. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about leading up to this game.
Speaker 1: I think he's at his best year's at for a while.
Speaker 1: But Newcastle had basically all the running, all the ball,
Speaker 1: you know, playing the ball quicker. I looked at the
Speaker 1: States because I was interested because when I saw the
Speaker 1: game it looked that way. It looked like, if if
Speaker 1: we took the tries away, you'd say, well, how much
Speaker 1: did the Newcast win by? Because they had the better
Speaker 1: they played in this game? Better in a very low
Speaker 1: standard game, let's make very clear, and a very low
Speaker 1: standard game. But you know what, you're twelve eight very
Speaker 1: close score and it could have went anyway. But second
Speaker 1: half the roosters, Ruster has had the game, and some
Speaker 1: of these kids I just just keep on developing. And
Speaker 1: how good is it to see Billy Smith after all
Speaker 1: those injuries starting to get back to some sort of consistency.
Speaker 1: Probably didn't have his greatest game, but those little glimpses
Speaker 1: of that that tackle for that tackle to save the
Speaker 1: train and that another big hits. So look again got
Speaker 1: not a higher standard game.
Speaker 5: I think it was more I wanted the Knights to win.
Speaker 5: I didn't want the Recess to lose. I just wanted
Speaker 5: the Knights to have a bit of a win because
Speaker 5: they won last week at the home ground and then
Speaker 5: they you know, I just when I was watching and
Speaker 5: I was like, gosh, they could probably do all write
Speaker 5: in this game and it would have been such a
Speaker 5: boost for them.
Speaker 1: Frustrating, frustrating, so frustrating, such a frustrating team. Guy unfortunately
Speaker 1: probably missed a few tackles he shouldn't have missed and
Speaker 1: he's usually a good tackler. Fletcher sharp out was a big,
Speaker 1: big out. So you know, I suggested you Fletcher Sharpe
Speaker 1: was in Newcastle would have won that's how that's how
Speaker 1: valuable I find him. Even jacko Evan Jackson, he played okay,
Speaker 1: Haysin's played okay. He wasn't bad, he played okay, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But even I liked I liked
Speaker 1: the Dylan Lucas as well, on the on the Edge
Speaker 1: and Phoenix. But at the end of the day, I'll
Speaker 1: say it again, they had all the ball, they had
Speaker 1: all the territory, they had all the meters, they had
Speaker 1: all the kicking meters, but they couldn't put them away. So,
Speaker 1: you know, a very low standard game. And Teddy even
Speaker 1: agrees to go sometimes you have to win dirty, and
Speaker 1: that's what they did.
Speaker 2: They did. That's what they did, as simple as that.
Speaker 2: But let's talk about the next game was much more exciting.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys. I tipped the Cowboys in this one. Dolphins
Speaker 2: fifty eight or four ten? Tell us what's happening at
Speaker 2: Redcliffe walk to us too?
Speaker 5: I am well. I tipped the Dolphins because it's just, oh,
Speaker 5: you know, I love them. I love them. They just
Speaker 5: have that that unity, right like that the Doggies have, that,
Speaker 5: the Warriors have, that Raiders have. I'm a broken record
Speaker 5: with this stuff. One I'm so proud of them, like
Speaker 5: you know, Bennett left them, and then you know the
Speaker 5: Christian Wolf stings so well. And look, I love the
Speaker 5: Cowboys and I felt I was hoping. I didn't think
Speaker 5: it would be such a blowout, but they're just on
Speaker 5: at the moment. And did you guys watch when bus
Speaker 5: Stock scored his fourth and he was just counting?
Speaker 2: So did you guys see the story on that? I
Speaker 2: forgot to tell you. Damn wim we spoke? Was it
Speaker 2: you the show? No? Someone someone showed me. Someone had
Speaker 2: as he showed me, someone had a huge bet on
Speaker 2: who was it that held the ball up for Boss talking? Okay, so.
Speaker 1: I passed the ball over the line to Herbie something
Speaker 1: about dinner or something.
Speaker 2: Some guy lost a huge bet because of that. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll get the details the next week because it was hilarious, right,
Speaker 2: Some some guy had I can't remember what the bet was.
Speaker 2: I can't remember what the bet was, but some guy.
Speaker 5: So many people because because Herby's had a straight run
Speaker 5: of doing tries, so but heaps of people had bets
Speaker 5: on Melford because everyone was like messaging me and I'm
Speaker 5: like baite, Like one guy had bet Herby is guaranteed.
Speaker 2: One guy had a huge bet on I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was any time try score or something, and
Speaker 2: that cost him. That that particular try cost him. I'll
Speaker 2: get the deats for next week. See how about officially
Speaker 2: we make the Dolphins the team of the pod? How
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 1: We make the Dolphins? That looks it looks like your
Speaker 1: enthusiastics happened. We make him the team of the pod.
Speaker 1: How's that so? Officially, Nicoleta, We've got a team of
Speaker 1: the pod in the in the n r L. And
Speaker 1: it was such a fun game, and and and how
Speaker 1: can I flog him be such a fun game?
Speaker 2: It was not for the Cowboys, not for the cowboys,
Speaker 2: not for the cowboys. And and you know what.
Speaker 1: They've They've got they've got their aim, unique pattern, their
Speaker 1: unique style of playing rugby league. And I put this
Speaker 1: all to Christian to Wood, to Wolf Christian Wood. He
Speaker 1: plays to his strengths and is developed. And he must
Speaker 1: be a good coach because he's developed and he's gone
Speaker 1: right away from what supercach was doing, has developed a
Speaker 1: system to suit his players. And gee, do they eat it?
Speaker 1: Eat it up? That will make the eight.
Speaker 2: They've been an attacking behinmouth. Yeah, they will make they
Speaker 2: will make the eight. And let me tell you, we
Speaker 2: all we all, we all talk about but they haven't
Speaker 2: made that yet. Have no funny time Bennett leaves and
Speaker 2: they make.
Speaker 1: Look, you know when he's a younger coach, he is
Speaker 1: so so Wayne Bennett is very strict.
Speaker 2: He plays one way. Forget he built this.
Speaker 1: Absolutely and he recruited really will, but he plays one way.
Speaker 1: We don't know too much about Christian Christian besides. I mean,
Speaker 1: we know what he's done overseas and and and and
Speaker 1: the international teams, but as as a club coach, we
Speaker 1: don't know too much of an Australia. But you know
Speaker 1: what I'm learning, I'm learning a lot about him. They've
Speaker 1: got them unique style. When you watch the Dolphins, they
Speaker 1: play like no other team. And he he makes the
Speaker 1: game plan for his players. Now, he's lucky enough to
Speaker 1: have a young man called Katola, and Katola can do
Speaker 1: things that other half based can't. He's he can hold
Speaker 1: up a defense with his feet, with his hands, with
Speaker 1: his body shape, he goes very square. I talked about
Speaker 1: it later, how how he can shorten the line just
Speaker 1: with his movements. He's so he's so good. Uh boss
Speaker 1: hog four tries Like I said.
Speaker 2: Who's this Kurt? Who's his Kurt Dona who I've never
Speaker 2: heard of him before? He's an animal? Who? But who?
Speaker 2: Here we go right here? If I said, if I
Speaker 2: said it right? Whatever, I'm thinking of his completely sorry?
Speaker 5: What was his name? What was the game?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 5: He knows got completely?
Speaker 2: I guess the Doggies.
Speaker 5: He just kept playing I.
Speaker 1: Think against the Doggies, against the Doggies. Yeah, how good
Speaker 1: is he? I can't believe it. And even even even
Speaker 1: his other backgrole Keeley where they find him from from
Speaker 1: from Redcliffe Pub. I love him, I love him. He
Speaker 1: wasn't he wasn't even the picture in the picture last year.
Speaker 1: The shame about CAFUSI getting getting one one week And
Speaker 1: even Mark Nichols, thirty three year old front rower, where's
Speaker 1: he found the energy?
Speaker 2: He's a changed human being.
Speaker 1: And Herbie Herbie is the best center in the camp,
Speaker 1: the best attacking center in the.
Speaker 2: Camp, even.
Speaker 5: Like Raised Stone. The thing is, you know, like and
Speaker 5: he's also my boy's favorite player after Stags. But Soco
Speaker 5: here's just all class, that player, all class.
Speaker 1: Well, he's getting bored, he's getting born, you're talking about
Speaker 1: your your man a psycha. Well, early in the year,
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting any ball to score tries. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden now because they're they're playing that top of
Speaker 1: expansive game and catoles the tooles are short in the line.
Speaker 2: He's getting lots of ball and.
Speaker 1: Both of them Boss the boss Hog, as Nicola says,
Speaker 1: Boss Hog, and uh and Isaiah uh sorry, getting heaps
Speaker 1: of Sorry.
Speaker 2: What is his name? Rush called Beagle and you probably
Speaker 2: his name we're talking about We say Boss Holiday. You know,
Speaker 2: you know we're talking about Boss Hog. No, Jake Bosstorp, No, No,
Speaker 2: I'm asking if she actually knows who Boss Hoggish? Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you know Boss Hoggies?
Speaker 5: No, I thought you're making a joke because he was
Speaker 5: hugging the ball.
Speaker 2: His name sounds like boss.
Speaker 1: I'll send you a text now, Jake Boston, we call
Speaker 1: him boss Hog anyway.
Speaker 5: I also, but let's not forget buss Stock because again,
Speaker 5: like I can get all stared, but Busso had lots
Speaker 5: of problems with dropping the ball at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the year, so I don't know how they managed to
Speaker 5: do four tries like he's he's obviously doing very well,
Speaker 5: but I'm very mindful to give a lot of credit
Speaker 5: for the really consistent players, you know, Causi, katar Saco
Speaker 5: like just a really you know, Milford like just yeah,
Speaker 5: because I don't maybe I'm just being a mum, but
Speaker 5: I'm like.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it's a group effort.
Speaker 1: So yeah, So what what you're saying is those players
Speaker 1: who you said are consistent, and you mentioned mostly forwards,
Speaker 1: they're they're the people who who put h it's like
Speaker 1: even Kata into a position for him to do what
Speaker 1: he does. So if these if these forwards don't put
Speaker 1: the team at a certain spot, then that's when the
Speaker 1: backs take over. So you're right, you're not being a mom.
Speaker 1: That's the key. And and that's what let's say we
Speaker 1: talked at the part about Queensland. Well that's what they
Speaker 1: didn't do. They didn't put the team into a spot
Speaker 1: so then they can attack. So yeah, that's right. So
Speaker 1: we see all the glossy or all the glossy players,
Speaker 1: your your your Herbies and your Kataras and uh your
Speaker 1: Zarkas and and they all the flashy players, but the
Speaker 1: forwards or do their job jobs to do what they do,
Speaker 1: and they do very well, let's go back to let's
Speaker 1: go back to the Cowboys, and you know what, can
Speaker 1: I be honest, they're terrible last week. Last week, that
Speaker 1: was terrible. I've got I haven't got too much to
Speaker 1: say about them. They need to shake up, then, I
Speaker 1: think the coach needs to shake up. They needed to
Speaker 1: shake up, you know, you know what with their roster,
Speaker 1: they should play exactly like the Dolphins play. They should
Speaker 1: play because they've got similar rosters when you look at
Speaker 1: their players similar.
Speaker 5: But what about about Derby?
Speaker 8: Yes, the.
Speaker 2: Inconsistent. I can't work them out. I can't work them out.
Speaker 2: You know what. When they're good, they're good. But when
Speaker 2: they're bad, they're horrid.
Speaker 1: And that was so bad and it was on there.
Speaker 2: It was on their home ground, at home. It was
Speaker 2: at home.
Speaker 1: So they got pulled their parents got pulled down at home.
Speaker 1: And it's not like they're missing lots of players. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, drinking was there.
Speaker 2: Nothing Nothing validates a fifty four point defeet. It just
Speaker 2: doesn't nothing for anyone. So that was just giving up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, they've got some homework, they've got some homework
Speaker 1: to do. And if they didn't drop the if I
Speaker 1: think boss. If you didn't drop that last past, it
Speaker 1: would have been sixty and that that that it is.
Speaker 1: But that would have been a rule, a rual wake
Speaker 1: up call. But it should be a wake up wake
Speaker 1: up call now. So I have no idea. I've got on.
Speaker 1: I'm out on the on the cows. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's happening there. But I am enjoying the Pods team.
Speaker 2: They're fun. The things are fun. The things are so much.
Speaker 5: Fun they are. I think I think people don't really
Speaker 5: consider them a threat yet because they're like the baby team,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like everyone's like celebrating. They
Speaker 5: are a massive threat. But once they start, you know,
Speaker 5: there are three teams making I just love it.
Speaker 2: Make the mistake. There a thread, there a thread, George.
Speaker 2: We saw something we haven't seen for a long time
Speaker 2: on Sunday. What do we see? The lightning? The lightning
Speaker 2: turn the Bulldogs and the Rabbits twenty four points today
Speaker 2: and then close finish. They went off the field for
Speaker 2: half an hour, half.
Speaker 1: An hour, half an hour of pulling teeth and apparently
Speaker 1: streak is running across the field.
Speaker 2: I was watching, I was watching on TV, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I leave ten minutes from the stadium right. I walked
Speaker 2: there right, and it was pissing down rain and I
Speaker 2: looked out side and I'm like, they're playing homebush, right,
Speaker 2: and then there's a lightning. The game's pause for I'm
Speaker 2: going on lightning nexting it about five minutes later. It
Speaker 2: came four or five minutes later. Okay, got it. It
Speaker 2: was good. It was pretty bad. Yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 2: It was pretty bad. It's unusual.
Speaker 1: It was unusual to get the game to be called
Speaker 1: off too, but I guess you know, I've all been in.
Speaker 2: I rolled, they perstponed it for.
Speaker 1: A little while, and and that was That was a
Speaker 1: bit of a turning point in the game, because we're
Speaker 1: the dog started like a house on flyire. They gave
Speaker 1: us basically twenty five thirty minutes of perfection to what
Speaker 1: maybe Sexton number one.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't move him on number one, the best game
Speaker 2: of the season, the best game of his season. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't move him on number one.
Speaker 1: Number two if if Gus in his wisdom, decides to
Speaker 1: move on because he thinks he's got the next Lazarus
Speaker 1: in his Lazarus in his myths, now, which I put
Speaker 1: a question mark on that at the moment, any club
Speaker 1: hint hints and George will be it will be a
Speaker 1: great asset to them. Hint hints and George were okay.
Speaker 1: So Idi was saying that Saxon won't get a club,
Speaker 1: don't worry if he keeps on playing like that, not
Speaker 1: only you will get a club, he'll get he'll get
Speaker 1: a deal. He'll get a good deal. He was one
Speaker 1: of one of one of the one of the good ones.
Speaker 1: And and kick and kick out. You know what canby Nicola.
Speaker 1: Why are they say good because they do the simple things,
Speaker 1: the simple things well discipoint yep. The simple things will
Speaker 1: line speed yeah, and in long, in long periods of time,
Speaker 1: the line speed second to none, the best line speed
Speaker 1: in the competition. Physical, extremely physical and when you look
Speaker 1: at their team, when you look how big they are,
Speaker 1: you think they can't be physical. But you know what,
Speaker 1: they've got great tackle, tackle technique, very physical. As you said, long, long, long, long, long,
Speaker 1: lots of energy. So they play at a high standard
Speaker 1: at a long period of time, and they let the
Speaker 1: other team dip. In the minute they dip, they score
Speaker 1: on them. So it's really simple. It's the most simplest
Speaker 1: rugby League. They didn't even.
Speaker 2: Play sweeps and ivan clear is double leads and loops.
Speaker 2: They don't do that.
Speaker 1: They just play an extremely straight physical They do move
Speaker 1: the ball. They moved the board because they can't go
Speaker 1: forward like a lot of teams straight through the guts.
Speaker 2: They can't do it.
Speaker 1: They haven't got the cattle this year anyway, So they
Speaker 1: spread the board to go forward, and a lot of
Speaker 1: young coaches are doing that, like we talked about.
Speaker 2: But again, very very very very simple.
Speaker 1: When the when that interruption happened with the lightning, when
Speaker 1: we came back, something changed to something changed in the corner.
Speaker 1: Uh Sales came rushing back into the rushing back into
Speaker 1: the game, and the game became a bit of a
Speaker 1: battle battle.
Speaker 2: Said that he didn't even go into the change room.
Speaker 1: They probably made him even more anxious because he's done
Speaker 1: that before, apparently, or someone has done that, has done
Speaker 1: and another coach has done that.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's brutal. Is brutal? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, results, So George, I don't I didn't completely see
Speaker 5: this game, like because I think I was clean. What
Speaker 5: how did Galvin play?
Speaker 1: Okay, good question, a very good question. So he had
Speaker 1: glimpses of of of of of something. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna so if you want to compare him to to
Speaker 1: to Katara in a different atmosphere, in a different hemisphere,
Speaker 1: different hemisphere, compare him to to Tabe Sexton. Give me
Speaker 1: Sexton any day, sext and I.
Speaker 2: Didn't think so played an hour and a half of
Speaker 2: this club right here and now, Yeah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1: I said, I've said when you ask when you asked
Speaker 1: me about about about Galvin Art like, I don't think
Speaker 1: this year, he'll give us all that spark in years
Speaker 1: to come. I agree when he learns the system, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And there's a kid, which I'll talk
Speaker 1: about a little bit later in the pod. When he
Speaker 1: pairs up with him, there will be something. There'll probably
Speaker 1: be something special, one of the best halves in the
Speaker 1: in the game. But right at the moment, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't moved on Sexton. Uh and then Burton comes back.
Speaker 1: What do you do with Burton.
Speaker 5: Then moving? It's it's Sexton moving.
Speaker 2: They haven't really, they haven't extended here. I've got this
Speaker 2: gut feeling he'll be there all year. He'll be there
Speaker 2: this year. They have Yeah, no, no, next year, he's gone.
Speaker 1: Next year he's going and and you know what the
Speaker 1: good thing is that he's playing so well, someone will
Speaker 1: pick him up, no doubt about it, No doubt about
Speaker 1: someone picked him up. And you know, wherever he goes,
Speaker 1: he'll do well. And like I said, I'm hoping he
Speaker 1: goes to Saint George because they're desperately in need of
Speaker 1: a half back of Sexton's sex Than's ability, because a
Speaker 1: lot of half backs is drift, will go wide. Sexton
Speaker 1: goes straight. Now he's learned that a Canterbury but it's
Speaker 1: it's it's all the good halfs just go straight and
Speaker 1: then they then then in the line either play or
Speaker 1: v But anyway, that's a separate conversation. I guess what
Speaker 1: I've learned about South Sydney. Without latrellll doing absolutely insane
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, they're a round of a mill team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean they're not bad. That might probably
Speaker 1: make the eighth, but they're not top four and are
Speaker 1: they going to develop? Probably are, But right this moment,
Speaker 1: without Latrello doing absolutely insane stuff.
Speaker 2: They have a very disruptive season.
Speaker 1: They have of injuries yeah yeah, but even even some
Speaker 1: kids like Humphreys who started like a house on fire
Speaker 1: has dipped a little bit, and you expect that being
Speaker 1: a rookie.
Speaker 2: Joy grat play well. I think Gray playaball.
Speaker 1: I think Ji Gray played ball, and no one's mentioned
Speaker 1: him on any other pods, and I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but I think Gie's played ball. And yeah, look, some
Speaker 1: of the forwards probably dipped a bit. Arrows not not
Speaker 1: there at the moment. Even call him a tonguey. Probably
Speaker 1: didn't have his better game, the best game, but four
Speaker 1: tries all, yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: Four rounded round. Did Latrell come back in a month ago?
Speaker 2: It was? Wasn't it around eight or something? I can't
Speaker 2: remember four weeks he had about four weeks in. There's
Speaker 2: been more six maybe sixteen.
Speaker 5: Because I was just, yeah, I was just looking at
Speaker 5: the beginning of the year that we're going all right,
Speaker 5: all right, and they had because obviously a trailer wasn't
Speaker 5: in I had. I was really comfortable in like his
Speaker 5: position and everything else. And then I was just looking
Speaker 5: because I always, like, like you, I like to look
Speaker 5: at stats, but I like to look at timing as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah it's and you know, it's like I was saying before,
Speaker 5: I don't know if we caught it on the potty
Speaker 5: or not. But he's just is so underutilized. We'll take it.
Speaker 2: Wonderful tryaving tackle? So good is that question?
Speaker 1: You know you can question his size, you can't question
Speaker 1: his hard was his ability or his talent? You know,
Speaker 1: like I said, So that was that was Yeah, So
Speaker 1: that was it, Nicole. We've got two points and we
Speaker 1: played Canby Stole of Rugby League. You know what, I
Speaker 1: got this gut feeling. Sex and Galvin actually works, but
Speaker 1: Burton Galvin very similar. I don't think that's gonna work.
Speaker 1: But we'll see. We'll see. Well, Uncle Gus has got
Speaker 1: an alude for us, because we'll see in time.
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the last game of the round.
Speaker 2: Els had a hard fought victory over the Buy Got Home,
Speaker 2: got two points of matters.
Speaker 1: Two points, doesn't matter you get it, doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: you get it.
Speaker 2: I'll take it. Two points or two points. We don't
Speaker 2: have we don't have Artie here for the crystal Ball,
Speaker 2: So let's just move into the upcoming week and it
Speaker 2: kicks off. It's another split round, obviously, and it kicks
Speaker 2: off with the Tigers Campbelltown hosting the Camber Raiders be
Speaker 2: an interesting one. And I think Ricky Stewart's son his
Speaker 2: debutie as well, Jed Stewart, is it, I believe? So
Speaker 2: let's see off the bench.
Speaker 5: For the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, unless I read it wrong.
Speaker 1: No, No, he's on the extended He's on the extend.
Speaker 1: He's on the extended bench. Nicole is number nineteen. He's
Speaker 1: pretty close. He's pretty close. Yeah, No, No, the matchups here, Nicolla.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the Dreamer Jeremy Jeremy Buller versus Weeks.
Speaker 1: That's going to be an interesting, interesting battle. They forget
Speaker 1: up front yoror May and Joe Tarpani is going to
Speaker 1: be a good one. Look, they're playing Campbelltown to be.
Speaker 2: Not a good track record for the time. No, it isn't.
Speaker 1: It's a Friday night, isn't it nice and nice and cold?
Speaker 1: And we're probably not that much of a long drive
Speaker 1: for the for the Raiders and the two and a
Speaker 1: half three hours Raiders flying, Give me Raiders, Nicolas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't wait for the game. The games this week, look, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And on Saturday, the Warriors are hosting the Panthers. This
Speaker 2: isn't dozy when you consider who the Panthers have out.
Speaker 2: I have to give the Warriors.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the Panthers entering the torture chamber, which the
Speaker 1: Warriors give every team. Now, they just slowly, methodically just
Speaker 1: pull you apart, just second by second, pain by pain.
Speaker 1: And this team, this particular team, isn't ready for it.
Speaker 1: Club unfortunately she isn't ready for it. I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors are specials Nicola.
Speaker 2: And Young Warriors. Yeah yeah. Dolphins at home to Newcastle
Speaker 2: another no brainer. Newcastle without Ponger, Yeah, how good? No Ponger.
Speaker 2: Ponger is in. They've got him if he plays.
Speaker 1: Sorry Dominic Dominic Young is straight into the team. Last
Speaker 1: week played against them with the Roosters. This week is
Speaker 1: playing for the Knights. Let's against the Dolphins. No, I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't at all, but let's let's let's hope we
Speaker 1: can see the the matchup Ponga and the Hammer. That's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. And let's not forget Best is in,
Speaker 1: so Best and Herbie is going to be battling against
Speaker 1: each other as well. But you're right. New Newcastle couldn't
Speaker 1: win a Chuck Graffle at their own home ground, so
Speaker 1: give me the Finns any day.
Speaker 2: And the Rabbit thins for sure. Yeah, asking you that
Speaker 2: one team of the Pod team of the Pod team
Speaker 2: of the Pod Rabbit as at hands to the Storm, Melbourne, Melbourne.
Speaker 2: They're playing here in Sydney.
Speaker 1: They're traveling up Nicola, They're traveling u They jumping on
Speaker 1: the plane coming up Latrell. Apparently in uh perhaps perhaps
Speaker 1: interesting will be peraps against Latroll monsters in guess what
Speaker 1: they got? Lewis dodging, So we're gonna have a first
Speaker 1: look at Lewis.
Speaker 2: Does played one games. He played one game looked like
Speaker 2: a bust of truck. I suggested, you're gonna keep on
Speaker 2: keep on having a flat tire and Arrow and Arrow.
Speaker 1: And Stefano they're gonna go head off night last week. Arrow,
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping he can absolutely smash Stefano in saying
Speaker 1: that storms of specials for me Nicola.
Speaker 5: And Storm for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon Broncos at Home to the sharkis definitely on
Speaker 2: the Broncos at Lane Park. Okay, T.
Speaker 1: Could you tell me your tip because I might be
Speaker 1: a bit long winded.
Speaker 5: I am. Yeah, I reckon Broncos. I think I actually
Speaker 5: didn't realize that I'm playing it at home. So it
Speaker 5: might take the boys.
Speaker 1: Good, might be, might be closer to some people think.
Speaker 1: Last week tea I I said, but by the way,
Speaker 1: I love the black jerseys and it's a shame you
Speaker 1: can't buy them because I would actually buy them that
Speaker 1: how much I love those jerseys.
Speaker 2: They're going to be wearing them months a year, only
Speaker 2: on on. It's a great charity. It's a great charity. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I said that.
Speaker 1: The Broncos entered the race for the petition the nural
Speaker 1: competition last week, so welcome they were. I guess the
Speaker 1: dog is there were forty minutes of perfection here there
Speaker 1: are about sixty five minutes of perfection. But the vibe
Speaker 1: looked good a week off, and I think I feel
Speaker 1: sorry for the sorry for the Sharks. They're looking for
Speaker 1: a victory, but guess what victory won't come this week?
Speaker 2: So Broncos all the way. Let's follow no second last
Speaker 2: weecond roosters at home to the Cowboys. But aga roosters roosters. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Perdue Perdue against Smith To you don't forget the disco
Speaker 1: against Drinki and in the engine and in the engine room,

Speaker 1: thing against Angus. Hard to pick Sydney. I'm going to
Speaker 1: go the Rooster's mate.

Speaker 2: say Dolphins?
Speaker 5: Cowboys guys, and I reckon, I'll go. I'll go Eels next.
Speaker 5: For this one.
Speaker 2: I think I will too if you can't be the
Speaker 2: gold case. But then again, both halves are out, so
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's not a need to lose.
Speaker 2: I'll get the Eels at home against the Gold Coast. George.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look here here at here in Sydney, mate, actually
Speaker 1: here in Sydney, a nice cold, cold evening.

Speaker 2: for a song of the week. It's a long story too,
Speaker 2: a long story. I'll you one day.

Speaker 1: in that did Frank dragular? It was Frankie. It was Franky.
Speaker 1: So he didn't want to didn't really want to go.
Speaker 1: I remember being with him the week before and he said,
Speaker 1: I'm going to see this certain artist and I'm not
Speaker 1: really a fan, but you know what, Frank's got some
Speaker 1: tickets and we go. And I saw him the week
Speaker 1: after and he said, you know what, I actually don't
Speaker 1: mind him.

Speaker 1: going around and explaining this new segment.
Speaker 2: But it's easy.
Speaker 1: Next week, Nico will tell us about a song that
Speaker 1: means something to him. But I know something that changed
Speaker 1: his life just he remembers when you heard it. It
Speaker 1: could be anything. I've got a story of epiphany. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got a story already to go. And I'm sure
