Oh I 42 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.599 saw a Wiggan fan tweets after the said Helens came about, 43 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.439 Oh you know, Saint Helens will get a center places 44 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.080 sent off and come back and beat us by two 45 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.759 tries or something. So I has invested that that that's 46 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.919 happened on occasion, but probably not to Helen's been what 47 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.719 put fifty on end Wigan getting beaten by the bottom 48 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:51.840 team and the companyhouse for. 49 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.199 That, that was unbelievable. I mean, just to put that 50 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.520 into some kind of context. John, because it was the 51 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.159 middle of my name, because I'm in Brisbane, I checked 52 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.560 the score if I wake up in the middle of 53 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.840 the night, and I just assumed, because it didn't look 54 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.960 properly that we're going Tod won by that score line 55 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.360 and just close the phone, went back to sleep. And 56 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.360 then also because you're a sado and you're checking scores 57 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.400 and them and what not. Yeah, some of us have 58 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.400 got to be diligent, John, Some of us have got 59 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.199 to be diligent. Please speculate about what John checks in 60 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.159 the middle of the night on his phone, please. I 61 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.840 think all all correspondents pertaining to that should go to 62 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.719 admin at Rugby League Coach dot com to say you 63 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.719 are at Rugby League Coach on socials, Johnny, remind everybody 64 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.039 of your contact details not to send you speculation about 65 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.280 what you do in the middle of the night. 66 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.240 You can get me on X or Twitter, Johnny d Davidson. 67 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.080 You can get me on Facebook. John Davidson, journalist. 68 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.120 I'm just going to go quickly through the ladder, John, 69 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.400 because we've not done that yet. Tom This's podcast. We're 70 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.520 going to top still on ten points. Warrington are in 71 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.680 second place, so we've had six rounds, but Warrington have 72 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.800 only played five games and Warrington are two points behind 73 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.719 Wigan now after dying Wiggans loss Lee Rhinos in third 74 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.959 after their great win against Warrington yesterday. Their points difference 75 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.639 isn't too far off either. Wiggans actually wakefielder in fourth. 76 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.800 They've sort of crept up there. They've ended up in 77 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.160 third at one point this weekend. They're on eight points. 78 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.800 Saint Helen's fifth on eight points. Bradford are still on 79 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.120 sixth despite their defeats to Castleford Tigers. I assume we've 80 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.000 got that one right, John Well left c resurgent Are 81 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.079 on six points two but in seventh due to a 82 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.839 worse points differential. Catalan Dragons. They've not had a bad 83 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.040 season so far Cattalan Dragons overall, but they find themselves 84 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:57.160 in eighth again by virtue of points different because they're 85 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.120 on six points. O k Are have managed to who 86 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.720 climb up to ninth and they've now got four points 87 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.759 after their emphatic win at the weekend to lose her 88 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.600 in tenth with four points, York eleventh with four points, 89 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.519 Lee Leppards who would want to be a lot higher 90 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.079 there in twelfth on four points, Castleford Tigers on four 91 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.279 points and Huddersfield Giants got their first two points of 92 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.800 the season against Wigan, but they're still on the bottom. 93 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.920 The big news this week, John, I think is Willie Peters. 94 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.439 Isn't it leaving Hulkingston Rovers for Baban New Guinea. 95 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.800 Yeah, yeah, there's been there's been quite a bit of 96 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.399 news this week, but I think that's the one. Look 97 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.920 it's been talking about in this train meeting for a 98 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.680 couple of weeks. I think they've all said he was 99 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.160 the favorite arm for the PG job, and then it 100 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.839 was affirming it is. 101 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:56.959 It is massive news. 102 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.079 Look, I think he's always been I think he was 103 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.959 contracted to the end of next year at Whole Car, 104 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.360 but he's always said, you wanted to go back to 105 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.879 the mL at some point he's done. I think four years, OK, 106 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:15.360 are fantastic, you know, contribution to the club, changed the club. 107 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.759 Twenty twenty five was amazing, beating the Broncos World Club 108 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.920 Channel for awful trophies. It's just, you know, I think 109 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.199 the time is probably perfect for him. It's great upportunity 110 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.920 and pagel As we talked about to build a roster, 111 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.759 build a club from scratch and you know, get the 112 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.199 Istraian tax payer to pay for it three hundred million 113 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.439 pounds or six hundred million dollars Australian. 114 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.480 A tough job for him, very tough job. 115 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.439 Yeah, but yeah, it's the Whole Car. It's it's sad news. 116 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.920 But they knew he was going to go back at 117 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.920 some time, like he was never going to do a 118 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.920 you know, a Tony Smith or a Phil Avivas, and 119 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.839 that he was going to be there for thirty years. 120 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.680 So yeah, it'd be really fascinating who who they look 121 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.480 to replace him with because I only had two new 122 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.560 assistants come in a couple of months ago, really, and 123 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.120 I wouldn't say there's like a dearth of local coaches 124 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.720 out there who you would say are ready to take 125 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.319 a top Super League job. 126 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.120 As the journalist on the panel, who are you saying 127 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.120 is in line to replace him? 128 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.279 There's not really been any firm candidates coming out as yet. 129 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:34.120 Look, I think Ian Watson, he's one of the assistants 130 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.439 who obviously has a lot of experience, did a fantastic 131 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.519 job at Salford, got them to a Grand Final, got 132 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.399 him to a Challenge Cup Final, went to Hardest Field, 133 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.000 started off really well Hardestfield, got them to third on 134 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.000 the table and Challenge Cup Final, and then it all 135 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.519 went wrong a Huddersfield and I got sacked. I think 136 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.399 he's a really good coach personally, really good guy, a 137 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:03.040 really good coach. His style maybe you know, he's a 138 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.279 bit more sort of you know, focused on defense and 139 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.519 you know, not the most player. Maybe that wouldn't go 140 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.079 down with Hooker, but I think he would be a 141 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600 candidate In terms of other coaches. Look, i think I've 142 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.759 got an assistant coach in the RL, Willie Peters, and 143 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.480 I think that could be an opportunity. You know, there's 144 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.759 a couple of hungry assistance, isn't there in the NRL 145 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.399 who are looking for jobs. You know, whether it be 146 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:32.840 Ben hornby Den Young, you know, Matt Ballen. There's quite 147 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.879 a few, isn't there. But obviously that that kind of 148 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.720 links to the mainly job as well. 149 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.960 Yeah, it depends where the cards fall, doesn't he Well, I've. 150 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.960 Heard let me just say one last thing. I've heard 151 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:48.080 one wild comment out there about Adrian Lamb. Maybe, obviously 152 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.200 I think Adrian Lamb was a candidate candidate for the 153 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.440 P and G job, and I think he would have 154 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.440 been a very smart choice. But you know, he's done 155 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.399 a great job at Lee and maybe he's looking for 156 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.440 a new challenge. So yeah, it's a very intriguing prospect 157 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.200 for wholeky artist sort out in the next couple of months. 158 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.799 Quite an open field, I suppose. Look, I've got my 159 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.440 short list in terms of people I think will be 160 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.919 in the frame top of the list by virtue of 161 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.960 the fact he's got a very good agent who gets 162 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.919 his clients things. And this is one of the reasons 163 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.000 I think he's not popular as an agent. I think 164 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.799 Anthony Sebald will be after this job in a big way. 165 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.039 I bet the call has already happened, yeah, I bet. 166 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.039 Look, his name has been mentioned on online as in 167 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:43.039 by fans, but yeah, I mean it personally as a 168 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:43.679 mainly fan. 169 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.080 As most people know. 170 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.080 If you look at his coaching career sacked at Brisbane, 171 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:53.080 sacked at Mainly. Look, he did do well at the 172 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.440 house in a brief time, but I don't think throughout 173 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.000 his whole coaching career, and I think that includes when 174 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.879 he was in charge of the Melbourne Stone managers. 175 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.320 I don't think he never won a Grand Final or 176 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.840 a premiership. That's right, you don't, you don't. You don't 177 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.639 need to sell that to me. However, he has got 178 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.080 a manager who was very good in Isaac Moses was 179 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.919 very good at getting his clients things. And one thing 180 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.440 Anthony se Ball will do if he gets an audience, 181 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.679 he will put on some kind of show and he's 182 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.840 very good. He will be very good at convincing the 183 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.519 whole k Are board that he's the man and he played. 184 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.519 Yeah, but personally, in my opinion, I don't think that. 185 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.360 Would be the right choice for the other one is 186 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.399 Steve McNamara is a head coach and he happens to 187 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.720 be an assistant at the moment, and he will he 188 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.639 will want to be a head coach again. Now what 189 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.840 I don't know about Steve McNamara, even though he did 190 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.000 play for whole FT. I don't know if originally he's 191 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.639 a kr boy or a whole FC. 192 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.399 I can tell you that. I can tell you the. 193 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.320 St McNamara is a where his dad played for HALFC. 194 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.919 He played for C and his son has played for now. 195 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.120 The interesting thing just with Steve McNamara. And look, this 196 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.679 is speculation, but I'm hearing noises about John Cartwright's future. 197 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.120 Nothing concrete but and I need to check, but he 198 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.840 might be off contract next year at the end of 199 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.879 the year. I'm not sure whether he's contract for next 200 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.919 year or not. But I'm here some noises And you 201 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:32.120 know about Steve McNamara being an ideal potential hive CE 202 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.799 coach because of his links to the city. I think 203 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.600 his family still lives in the city and he's a 204 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.320 great coach. And the other one is obviously, And I'm 205 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.879 sure we'll talk about this in a bit about Brot 206 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.639 Arthur's future. 207 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:47.120 So whether good shift to heaving me. 208 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.399 So look, I think it's it seems to happen maybe 209 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.480 once a year in the world of rugby leagu because 210 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.440 we've really got two competitions, haven't we. 211 00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:01.159 That things move and then there's like, yeah, and we 212 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.000 had it, you know, we had it last year with. 213 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.000 Well We had a few times last year, but we 214 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.720 had last year with Paul Wellens. 215 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.159 And that's another name, that's another name on my list. 216 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.480 Well, the interesting with Paul Wellens is he was going 217 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.519 to go the whole car as assistant coach. He was 218 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.039 going and then the North Queensland opportunity came up and 219 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:27.840 he decided to go down and so yeah, it's really 220 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.759 interesting how this all says. And I think you were 221 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.120 saying last week, weren't you. You know, you've got to strike 222 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.039 while the iron's hot. And first the first card has 223 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.519 landed in Willie Peters and PNG and we will see. 224 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.240 You as soon as he signed. As soon as he 225 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.960 signed the contract, they'll beat Saint Helen's buy a million. 226 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.120 Now I've got one more name for you, John Morris. 227 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.480 He's someone who's fallen out with the limelight and also 228 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.600 apparently he's had a couple of fallouts a couple of 229 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:57.480 clubs but he's somebody who has a good reputation as 230 00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:57.919 a coach. 231 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.080 Is he is he a staff at Crannello? The man 232 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:06.679 I can't remember he was. Yeah, yeah, Look I think 233 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.480 look I remember him as a player. He was a 234 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:15.080 great player, like for underrated, you know, like just hard work, rates, skillful, 235 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.360 small And I have read that that he's got, you know, 236 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.440 and I think he had he was caretaker West. 237 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.200 Wasn't he for a bid? 238 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.399 And I think Gala and I think he's got a 239 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.200 really good reputation. So he's one of those up and 240 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.799 coming and our old assistant coaches who Yeah, it could 241 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.559 be a really smart choice. 242 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.799 Yeah, I like that suggestion. 243 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:38.279 Gavin Quinn asketors on X. Who will Willie Peters wanna 244 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.080 bring with him from the super league coaches and players? 245 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.080 I'll throw one, Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think 246 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.919 I think Gavin or someone else mentioned will take. He'll 247 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.159 take Michael Lewis and Jes Letting. Look, I don't think 248 00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.200 look that's possible about Minchella. Yeah, I mean I think 249 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.080 with Michael Lewis, he's had the opportunity to go to 250 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.799 the NROL last year, signed a long term deal and 251 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.759 he's a very like he's got a young son who's 252 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.919 I think one or so, and he's a very whole lad. 253 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120 I don't know how he would go, and yeah, you 254 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.159 can take that in many different ways. I don't know 255 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.200 how he would go on the other side. And like, 256 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.080 I think, if you're young and going to P ANDNG, 257 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.159 it's going to be very different if you're going to 258 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:33.679 Sydney or Brisbane or or wherever. Yeah, so I think 259 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.080 I was chatting about this to someone. I think it 260 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.879 was Brian Carney the other day. You know, if you're 261 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.720 you're doing the recruitment for P and G, you're going 262 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.960 to target I think, at least initially, you're going to 263 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.720 target older players who are married, probably with want young children, 264 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.120 because you need that experience and you're not Look, if 265 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.360 you're on a resort half the time and you can't 266 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.799 really go out, you're not going to. 267 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.080 Be looking for nightclubs and. 268 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.720 Yeah, so you want to build a family, and yeah, 269 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.799 there's certain sort of like personalities. I think you're a 270 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.879 targeting I don't think Michael Wilis is one Eli Minchell. 271 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.200 I mean, I don't think Willie would want to screw 272 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.679 over a whole KR personally. He's a very decent guy, 273 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.600 but he's. 274 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.759 Also got he's also got to survive where he is 275 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.120 and where he's going. Sorry, and there is a massive 276 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.799 misconception in this country Australia. I'm talking about that there's 277 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.559 not enough talent to go around. That's absolutely boulder dash. 278 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.639 But that's another story and that's why we've seen so 279 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.879 many English players over in the NRL now and with 280 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.799 extra teams coming in, there's going to be even more 281 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.000 pull on the English resources. 282 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.159 Yeah, I think I think that'll look. 283 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.120 There's also a risk to bring players who haven't played NROL, 284 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.600 so I think they'll look first off for years, Amy Coats, 285 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.759 you're Locke and Lambs. Your players who either have PNG 286 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.960 heritage or were born in PNG, but who are experienced 287 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.519 in the NRL. I think that be their first like 288 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.039 the Dolphins did. If you remember the Dolphins, they signed 289 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.120 basically Melbourne's forward pack. Didn't they be aging But they 290 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:13.240 find the Bromwich brothers, Cafusi and I signed that ball 291 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.840 front roll from Sias that you know you need some 292 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.799 experienced gnard heads and I think that's you know, that'll 293 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.679 be part of the way they go. 294 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.320 So I don't think there's any guarantee that he's going 295 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:24.759 to got the whole KR. 296 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.639 And take it to Portmosby your tweet of the week, 297 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.519 have got to The committee was split on this. The 298 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.759 committee is only me. So so this is a Johnny D. 299 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.559 Davidson on x DO like this Warrington ac Milan kit. 300 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.840 So that's the first one I pulled out. Now, good 301 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.480 explanation of the kids. A lovely kid. However, I do 302 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.240 feel they missed a trick in that thirtieth anniversary game. 303 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.759 They should have commissioned leads in a jersey like the 304 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.000 nineteen ninety six to one with the start and Warrington 305 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:03.960 should have played in the green and white deck chair. 306 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.359 That's what I would have done yesterday, and then they 307 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.799 should have auctioned them off and raised money for whoever 308 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:10.880 they want to raise money for. 309 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.079 In my opinion, I think that Listen Helen's kid on 310 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.799 Florida and I was great, but the way they played 311 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:21.559 they should probably never Yeah. I looked like I looked 312 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.519 like Sheffield Wednesday, and they played like Sheffield Wednesday, which 313 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.440 for anyone who's bloody. 314 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.799 Terrible, Yeah, it's not good. And that does literally look 315 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.200 like a deck chair that jersey. You then did a 316 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.920 tweet where you named your Super League one to thirteen 317 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.000 as Jamie Lyon, Jamie Lyon, Jamie and Jamie. I know, 318 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.839 I didn't say it wasn't a joke, but then you 319 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.400 came up with one and John. Your You're thirteen was 320 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:50.039 Sam Tompkins, Ryan Hall, Jamie Lyon, Keith SR, Tommy Makinson, 321 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:55.680 Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow, Jamie Peacock, James Roby, Adrian Mawley, 322 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.880 Liam Farrell, Andy Farrell and Kevin Sinfield. Now I want 323 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:06.720 to argue with you, so Sam Tomkins excellent. I want 324 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.119 to throw Paul Wellens in there as an option. And 325 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.359 when I was at Wigan, I just felt Paul Wellens 326 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.960 was just that little bit better than Chris radlan Ski, 327 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:23.400 particularly defensively and whatnot. So Paul Paul Wellens is a 328 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.240 is a name in there. In terms of Ryan Hall 329 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.799 and Tommy Makinson. I would throw in the names Leslie Vnicolo. 330 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.279 And you did admit that you'd only been watching Super 331 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:36.119 League for so long. 332 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.839 Yeah, we just proface before you go through the whole thing. 333 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.319 I didn't pro face my attament the fact that I 334 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.079 moved to the UK in twenty third and then started 335 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.200 watching Super lank covering it, so mine's basically based on 336 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.920 the last thirty years. There wasn't really a lot of 337 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.319 coverage of Super League before that, or very very very rare, 338 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.519 So you know, I know there was great as before, 339 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.640 but I didn't see a lot of them. And Vanacola 340 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.160 I remember a camera and he was great camera. But 341 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.960 I know he went to Bradford and was unbelievable for Bradford. 342 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.480 So yeah, that's and I put my hand up and 343 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.119 say it's weighted towards the players that I've seen and 344 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.680 or no more of you did say that Jason Robinson 345 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.519 is worth a shout on the other wing too, Martin 346 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.880 Martin Gleeson with Jason. 347 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.240 Robinson, would you not say, I know what four years? 348 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.000 I think he went to rugby in two thousands, so 349 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.720 many played four years of Super League. 350 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:35.079 But he got in the Super League Dream Team five times. 351 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:36.839 He was a freak. 352 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.359 I mean, he's one of the best winners all time 353 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.960 in rugby league history. I would saying in that absolutely. 354 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:49.160 Danny McGuire at six. I've resisted this call basically, but 355 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.319 so many people have told me Bevan French is one 356 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.480 of the best players ever in super League, So would 357 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.039 he not be married? I would say, look, I think 358 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.480 Marion French has been and I would say Danny McGuire 359 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:06.000 because he won was it eight Grand Finals and scored 360 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.720 fifty eight thousand tries? 361 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.240 Yeah, I would say for your longevity. Yeah. 362 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.279 I've also listed Henry Paul who was excellent for Bradford 363 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.759 and the Bulls were real big and Leon Price. Leon 364 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.960 Price was excellent standoff. Definitely instead of Rob Burrow, I 365 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:33.200 would have thought sean long great player in the props. 366 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.359 I'm throwing two other names in there, Stuart Field and 367 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.240 James Graham. 368 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:42.279 James Graham massive part of his career in the. 369 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:47.039 NRL, so yeah, still a very good Super League prop 370 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.000 though it was Yeah, some of them, some of the players, 371 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.400 I mean Leslie Vano spent a fair bit of his 372 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.519 time in the NRL. So you know it's it's Adrian Morley. 373 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.519 You've got Adrian Morley in there. He played a lot 374 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:07.720 of time at Sydney Rouge the Hookers. Again, James Roby, 375 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.359 I've had a bit to do with him, great player. 376 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.799 Buthm and Terry Newton. There was an era in the 377 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:17.359 early two thousands where again you could probably hold a 378 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.400 piece of paper between Kieran Cunningham and Terry Newton. It's 379 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:24.240 just that Kieran Cunningham won the won the trophies with 380 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.839 the team. And the good thing about Kieran Cunningham and 381 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.279 Terry Newton were there both. They were both big bodies 382 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.839 as well, so they were very good defensively and people 383 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.440 didn't particularly want to run at Terry Newton, that's for sure, 384 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.519 so they could be all sorts going into that tackle, 385 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:46.359 not just the shoulder. Second rowers. I don't think Liam 386 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:51.400 Farrell is in the same league as Sayer Gareth Ellis. 387 00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:58.839 I think Gareth Ellis was excellent. Chris joint Of also 388 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.559 mentioned in there as well. He looked awkward Chris joined 389 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.200 and he looked like he was so sad when he 390 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.279 was playing. He had he's head down quite a lot. 391 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.839 But he was a fantastic second rower. And then of 392 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.079 course we've got the discussion of where we put Andrew 393 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:16.920 Farrell Paul Schulthorpe. Yes, so so Paul Thorpe, you went 394 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:20.599 Kevin Simfield at Lock that loose forward and I think 395 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.759 with Farrell and Paul Schulthorpe they're both off off of 396 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.039 things at Lock and they both loose forward, and they 397 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.359 both offer things that can be used in the second role, 398 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.039 So I would probably interchange them during the game. 399 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.160 I think, I think never, you can never. With those 400 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.880 kind of teams, you can never. You're always leaving good 401 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.480
