Speaker 1: Welcome to off the bench. Everybody.
Speaker 2: We've done a ad hoc one at the moment. This morning,
Speaker 2: I saw George kicking some stones, grumbling, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: what happened? What's happening here, George? He sounded like he
Speaker 2: had a lot of things on his mind. Though it
Speaker 2: might not only get you lost again, sorry to get lost,
Speaker 2: but we thought, you know, let's doing off the bench
Speaker 2: so we can get everything off his chest, because it's
Speaker 2: definitely rugby le related.
Speaker 1: You know. It's George, George, welcome to off the bench.
Speaker 1: Hell has things good? Mate? It's behind a microphone. I
Speaker 1: was sick the last two times, so it's strange. I
Speaker 1: was kicking stones in your garden because I just didn't
Speaker 1: know what to do. He's just walking around. Animalyss.
Speaker 2: You look lost, mate, you look agitated, you look lost,
Speaker 2: you look you look frustrated. I wanted to see off
Speaker 2: the bench and I was trying and to relieve some
Speaker 2: of that stress. Let everyone know what was going wrong.
Speaker 2: It's rugby related. I feel it home now I'm behind
Speaker 2: the mic again.
Speaker 1: That's it. I love it. I love it, I love it.
Speaker 1: I want to Actually the truth was that our wives
Speaker 1: went shopping and they suck us in front of the television.
Speaker 1: They gave us a paddle to shut up, and and
Speaker 1: I was kicking stones during during the day and night
Speaker 1: is uh his backyard. So he suggested we're talking. So
Speaker 1: he goes, well, you know what all that thought, and
Speaker 1: he happened his laptop and here we are. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we go, if we go, if we go, if we go.
Speaker 2: So let's talk some good news maybe. So the origin,
Speaker 2: we had the origin go on for the women's game.
Speaker 2: We went to talk men's origin. That's for the b
Speaker 2: Tanua and Nick to join us for.
Speaker 1: The main week, the main crew, the main crew.
Speaker 2: But we've got the women's origin that finished last week.
Speaker 2: I know you want to talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2: To under the Blues game one thirty two twelve went
Speaker 2: to the Blues game two twenty six to six. So
Speaker 2: wrapped up after game two and then they had a
Speaker 2: final game which Coinsland managed to win to make it
Speaker 2: a two to one series to the Blue. Any thoughts
Speaker 2: on that, mate?
Speaker 1: Tell us? You know what, I watched the second game
Speaker 1: if you remember, it was at the s CG sorry
Speaker 1: the SFS and it was really raining. It was really,
Speaker 1: really really Now I didn't take my notes, so maybe
Speaker 1: you can remember. We we built a stadium, uh, a
Speaker 1: beautiful big stadium, you know, not only for the roosters,
Speaker 1: for everybody. You know what. We decided not to put
Speaker 1: a roof on. That's okay, that's okay, not a problem.
Speaker 1: Don't put a roof on. But you know what I
Speaker 1: expect if you're you're if you're spending eight hundred million dollars,
Speaker 1: you know the ground you think it would rain? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: you think you'd You know when you go and watch
Speaker 1: kids football down there at Bosley Park or actually in
Speaker 1: our old stomping ground there at pad Start. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: is the rain? Yeah? I get a part of here
Speaker 1: or there, but nothing like the SFCG or the SF.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. We spent eight hundred million dollars. Think about, Hey,
Speaker 1: we get the roof. We should have had a roof
Speaker 1: where probably the only country in the world whose sports
Speaker 1: crazy without a stadium without a roof. But let's let's
Speaker 1: let's put okay, we want sun. We we love our son.
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't rain ever in city, doesn't never
Speaker 1: know make a drain. We go to Vegas, right and
Speaker 1: the ground and the ground apparently goes out, slides out
Speaker 1: the sun and it comes back in because it's got
Speaker 1: a roof and there's the sun. But in this country,
Speaker 1: we can't get the ground when we have some showers
Speaker 1: or thunderstorms or heavy rain for at the drain. It's crazy,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. And you know what, I bet your colgra
Speaker 1: if it rains, I bet your drains. It's it's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's for the last country to get anything, you know.
Speaker 2: You know sometimes you know that there's families where everyone's
Speaker 2: got a video player and no one gets into right
Speaker 2: then it's like all the countries are getting all these
Speaker 2: stadiums with roofs on it, but we're still waiting until
Speaker 2: you know, we're the last ones to finally get a stadium.
Speaker 1: With a roof on it. Of course, it's crazy, you know.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought they did have a roof that
Speaker 1: that didn't They didn't ever didn't never. You know what
Speaker 1: the issue is this that we say, oh, the government
Speaker 1: or the stadium, it's our money. It's our taxes. You
Speaker 1: know that thirty percent or thirty five percent you pay,
Speaker 1: or or the gis so you pay, or every time
Speaker 1: you sell a property the capital gains. It's our money.
Speaker 1: Are they it's our money that, make no mistake, the
Speaker 1: money that they flash around. And you know they want
Speaker 1: Brownie points, not theirs. It's not theirs but the But
Speaker 1: besides that, you know, it'll be nice to have a
Speaker 1: stay in the you know drains. True, absolutely, it'll be
Speaker 1: nice the poor girls and roosterless. Yeah, they did it
Speaker 1: in third or conditions basically, well, if you think about it,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, it's remember when the eighties
Speaker 1: and when when they used to play used to be martely.
Speaker 1: You know that Paramatta team. I remember a lot of Canary,
Speaker 1: big Canary games. They were playing the mud Paramotter stating
Speaker 1: was was was a mardy you know, I mean no
Speaker 1: grass at all. Well, not too far away from that,
Speaker 1: too far away on the origin, all the origins. I
Speaker 1: used to watch the w because I thought it was
Speaker 1: like fresh start, a clean game, you know, no wrestling.
Speaker 1: I guess what's happened. Unfortunately, the bad habits are creeping in.
Speaker 1: All the bad habits are creeping in. They're all creeping in.
Speaker 1: And there's even worse for first of all, starting to
Speaker 1: wrestle and and I can wear that because it's part
Speaker 1: of the game. Unfortunately, what the girls are doing now.
Speaker 1: They're lying down, they're looking for penalties. They're holding the
Speaker 1: back of their necks like like all their men, or
Speaker 1: you know, they're looking at the referees trying to milk
Speaker 1: milk a penalty. I don't I don't blame the girls,
Speaker 1: nor do I blame the guys. I blame NRL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I blame it's you know, they they manufactured this situation.
Speaker 1: You know, once upon a time, we used to laugh
Speaker 1: about it. I used to laugh about soccer. I had
Speaker 1: this thing about watching soccer, and I used to see
Speaker 1: somebody get clipped. If get clipped and they're rolling around
Speaker 1: like ten times, you know what I mean, and he's
Speaker 1: looking at the referee and he's putting his hands up,
Speaker 1: or he looks like he's you know, the ambulance come
Speaker 1: out and look at it. Look, you know, I have
Speaker 1: a think the guy just bumped into it. Nothing happened.
Speaker 1: I used to laugh at that. I can't laugh at
Speaker 1: that anymore. Honestly, I feel embarrassed. There is a way
Speaker 1: to stop that.
Speaker 2: As soon as they hold the neck and they get
Speaker 2: the penalty, then that player should just come off, or
Speaker 2: at least they did that in soccer now they make
Speaker 2: him come off really and then they bring it back
Speaker 2: on shortly afterwards, so at least that when there's a stop,
Speaker 2: eachain player they bring it back on. So if they
Speaker 2: want to hold their neck, they've got to be prepared
Speaker 2: to come off the field as well immediately. And that's
Speaker 2: I think the only way they're going to stop it.
Speaker 2: I love will they do it, We'll see. It's an
Speaker 2: aural you know.
Speaker 1: You know what I understand. I understand what they're trying
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, they're trying to win a penalty for
Speaker 1: their team, any advantage. I'm talking about. Nurla and all
Speaker 1: are trying to protect players, and with that, they're trying
Speaker 1: to protect themselves because in ten years, when there's going
Speaker 1: to be a class action, someone's going to get hurt.
Speaker 1: Someone they're going to they're going to say that, you
Speaker 1: know what, we've done everything everything we can to protect you.
Speaker 1: That's good and well. But along the way, what they're
Speaker 1: actually doing is changing the fabric of the game. Money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now has the game changed since the early days, of
Speaker 1: course it okay, But there's some things which is a
Speaker 1: foundation of this game, and that's toughness, hardness, hard running,
Speaker 1: hard tackling. That's made us fall in love of the game.
Speaker 1: That's fall in love of the game. It's an emotional game. See,
Speaker 1: this is what people don't understand. We watch rugby league
Speaker 1: because we want to steer emotions in our body. And
Speaker 1: that's what they that's what rugby league players well, that's
Speaker 1: their well it's not their job, but effectively that's what
Speaker 1: they do. But what they're what NRL is doing is
Speaker 1: taking that away, which is changing the fabric of the game.
Speaker 1: So if it looks if it looks dangerous, we must
Speaker 1: be a yeah, he must it must be dangerous if
Speaker 1: it looks like it's a hard tackle and his rock back,
Speaker 1: his head went back and whiplashed. Whatever, Well, it's it's
Speaker 1: got to be it's got to be dangerous. That will
Speaker 1: penalize and we give him ten minutes. That's right, they will.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's crazy. It's like the origin, which I
Speaker 1: don't want to go into, but the bomb and uh
Speaker 1: taha when he got sent off for ten minutes, what's
Speaker 1: you supposed to do? You jumped up for the ball? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guy, The guy's much a foot and a half
Speaker 1: taller than him. I forget the winger now he's a
Speaker 1: foot and a half tall in him and he had momentum. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah he grabbed onto him. Oh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: sending for ten minutes. It's crazy. But what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get to so before you go on, is slowly
Speaker 1: but surely they're changing the game. They're changing the fabric
Speaker 1: of the game. So in ten years, what are we
Speaker 1: going to be playing tag? I'm not I don't know
Speaker 1: where they wanted to take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing is, George, when you were playing rugby league,
Speaker 2: every player knows there is a risk involved, whether they
Speaker 2: could get injured. Like, it's not a sport where it's
Speaker 2: impossible never to get injured. You're signing up for something
Speaker 2: to play dangerous. Okay, that's very physical. So there's got
Speaker 2: to be waivers in there somewhere to say no litigation
Speaker 2: issues if there is a tackle that's gone wrong or something,
Speaker 2: so you know what I mean. They should be able
Speaker 2: to cover themselves that way.
Speaker 1: Please. But yeah, it's just great.
Speaker 2: It's not boxing, Like are you saying Box was going
Speaker 2: to go into a fight and thinking he's not going
Speaker 2: to get hurt, Like, of course he's going to get
Speaker 2: hurt because he's going to get punched. Well, rugby, they're
Speaker 2: going to get tackled, so you're signed up for it.
Speaker 2: You're getting paid good dollars for it. Honestly, when you
Speaker 2: think about it, some guys are getting paid great dollars,
Speaker 2: very good. You know, it's you can't. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's just becoming a joke. I think, like you said,
Speaker 2: some players are falling and the guys have to the
Speaker 2: anneral expects of guys to adjust his arm within that
Speaker 2: split second, not to get him high. Like it's some
Speaker 2: of them are just pure accidents, and you're going to
Speaker 2: start looking at that, you.
Speaker 1: Know, ones like when players are falling, yes, okay, and
Speaker 1: you're forum clips there. I don't know, maybe they're their
Speaker 1: head clips their head. But where his head was was
Speaker 1: close to your knees exactly. So he's falling and you've
Speaker 1: sort of put your hand out and you touch him
Speaker 1: and it's a high.
Speaker 2: Tackle, and that's the bunker's fault, sorry, because the bunker
Speaker 2: needs to see where the player's arm was before the
Speaker 2: guy was falling and where it is when he hits him,
Speaker 2: and if he sees that, he's adjusted it to hit
Speaker 2: the guy in the head intentionally then you know straight away.
Speaker 2: But if you see the guy's arm hasn't changed motion
Speaker 2: and the guy's head's fallen like how many centimeters and
Speaker 2: got him, then then it's clearly an accident and no
Speaker 2: action should be.
Speaker 1: It drives me crazy and as a rugby lely tragic
Speaker 1: like myself, I just I just think, I just think,
Speaker 1: where's this game going to be in ten years? Where
Speaker 1: is it going? Like? It's sometimes it's hard to watch now.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hard to watch now. Seriously, it's not the
Speaker 1: game that I know. And and Nick goes on about
Speaker 1: the toughness and and don't get me wrong, I don't
Speaker 1: think you know, throwing punches is you know, to be tough,
Speaker 1: but we want it to be a little bit more
Speaker 1: visual and emotional. It's physical, it's physical, but there's things
Speaker 1: that've taken away which takes that that emational part away
Speaker 1: from it, you know what I mean. I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Maybe kids now growing up and expecting it, but I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't buy it now.
Speaker 2: Last weekend I said the Warriors New Camber game would
Speaker 2: have been one of the best games for you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now that's the typic game that you like because of
Speaker 2: the physic physicality, and Ricky stewartt came out after it
Speaker 2: and said something to the words of they're trying to
Speaker 2: take the physicality out of it because with all these
Speaker 2: fouls and stuff like he wasn't happy about that. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean, you have to expect this, Like
Speaker 2: I was trying to defend the game how it is
Speaker 2: and they can't change it. So that's what you want
Speaker 2: to You want to see games like that bad against Camber.
Speaker 1: That was just a brutal game that that that game
Speaker 1: threw me back to the eighties. One team trying to
Speaker 1: drag the other team in the into the gutter, and
Speaker 1: the other team bought it and they went into the
Speaker 1: gutter and they just stayed into the gutter and they
Speaker 1: forgot about the rugular league game and they'll throw rocks
Speaker 1: at each other. But what it actually does as as
Speaker 1: a spectator on at the ground or behind your television,
Speaker 1: it affects you emotionally. And that's what rugby league is about.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you're telling me. It doesn't worry me.
Speaker 1: Why why does origin work? Because it's emotional. We want
Speaker 1: something more than you know, I mean to win more
Speaker 1: than the other team. But you're taking that emotion away
Speaker 1: when when when you're when you're saying or what they're saying, Well,
Speaker 1: they're trying to portray the game as so. But that
Speaker 1: game was that was a pretty good That was a
Speaker 1: pretty special special game. That one I couldn't I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it I was watching it. Actually, Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 2: Just just quickly back to the girls origin who stood
Speaker 2: out for you in that series? Which any particular girls
Speaker 2: that you like.
Speaker 1: The third, the third or three out of all three?
Speaker 1: You know when your South I was, We're far dominant
Speaker 1: in all the two games and parts of the three games.
Speaker 1: They probably weren't as prepared in the third one as
Speaker 1: as Queensland and Queensland done. Queensland what Queensland does. There's
Speaker 1: a little fullback Abby Church. She I think she got
Speaker 1: pretty close to Man of the Match in the first game.
Speaker 1: She's she's this little girl with lots of heart and
Speaker 1: lots of pace and she just rocks. She's dangerous as
Speaker 1: I come went to see her for Paramatta of course,
Speaker 1: the Deli and winner of last year Kernigan. She's so good,
Speaker 1: she's so good, she got I think she got Mad
Speaker 1: of the match the first game, maybe maybe the second
Speaker 1: game as well, you know what, as as as as
Speaker 1: they changed the position she I think she plays in
Speaker 1: the second round. I think they put a lot on
Speaker 1: the edge. It's really funny. She's the best second round
Speaker 1: in the game. She's the best edge runner in the
Speaker 1: game as well. She rock. Look, Queensland won the second
Speaker 1: the third game, which made it respectable to one, and
Speaker 1: they've got something to build on. But I think they
Speaker 1: might have a little bit of work to be done
Speaker 1: for next year because your so I was with their
Speaker 1: power power running and their power play were far better.
Speaker 1: And the third one for a second, well, Kelly Isabelle Kelly.
Speaker 1: She scored a try. She she she went over, but
Speaker 1: she didn't ground the ball. Her arm grounded the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't, don't start me. Oh wow. So imagine she
Speaker 1: scored the Troy she went over, she she she her
Speaker 1: arm ground the ball. She got up. You know, the
Speaker 1: try was awarded. The review went on and go to
Speaker 1: the board, in't touch the ground and go what when
Speaker 1: was that? I think? Wow, So if that try was allowed,
Speaker 1: you I was would have won. But you know what, uh, Queenslander,
Speaker 1: Queenslanders have got this. I'm not sure if she's a
Speaker 1: young girl, but definitely a young woman there. Uh, what's
Speaker 1: her name again? Forget now? She's a front roller. I
Speaker 1: think she's her backgrounds Italian. I just got a blank.
Speaker 1: She's she's a machine, you know, the hit man. She's
Speaker 1: she's the hit woman. She's from which team? She's a Bronco.
Speaker 1: She started, she didn't play the first game. In the
Speaker 1: second game, I think she came off. She was in
Speaker 1: the background. She she's a front roller. Yeah, she's probably
Speaker 1: on the I've got Mackenzie will Destiny, Real, Jessica Elliston,
Speaker 1: Sienna Lafito. Who's on the bench, Chelsea, Then that's the one.
Speaker 1: She's a lock. She's a lock. Yeah, okay, okay, well
Speaker 1: whatever she is. She's a wrecking mission. She's a sam
Speaker 1: Burger's sam burg She came on, really, she came on
Speaker 1: for for ten to fifteen minutes. Absolutely crushed the middle.
Speaker 1: She had the rest. She came on, absolutely crushed the middle.
Speaker 1: She scored the winning try. She rocks at I'm trying
Speaker 1: to see where she plays, who she plays for. She's
Speaker 1: a broncast Water, she's a place. She plays for the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Grew up, grew up South Coast. I believe anyway, she's
Speaker 1: the Broncos Broncos player. What about the officiating in the game,
Speaker 1: I thought it was my favorite. Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 1: say it. I've said it before on the main program.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it again. Belinda Sharp is not
Speaker 1: up to reffin. I'm not going to start baking the league.
Speaker 1: She's not up to refin Origin games and she definitely
Speaker 1: one hundred not up for refin NRL. Now, if NRL
Speaker 1: wants to feel that like they're doing the right thing
Speaker 1: and they're inclusive, good and wellastic, but what happened to
Speaker 1: the best person for the job? I can guarantee you Ardie,
Speaker 1: blind the Sharp is not the best person for the job.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about her other mate. What's
Speaker 1: her name? What's the other casey Badger? She she struggles
Speaker 1: in the box. She really struggles in the box. And
Speaker 1: when I see her on the sideline with the flag,
Speaker 1: as Nick says, fansy flag, I get chills up my bag.
Speaker 1: She's she doesn't ref games anymore because she's not up
Speaker 1: to it. But blind Blinda Clark is it? Blind Blind
Speaker 1: the Sharp? I don't know why they persist I don't
Speaker 1: know what every time she does an n Oro game, Okay,
Speaker 1: I fear she know. She's had eight challenges and six
Speaker 1: were six were against her against her, So that's pretty damning.
Speaker 1: That's pretty damning. And you can call me sexist. I
Speaker 1: don't care what people want to call me. But it's
Speaker 1: therefore to see you go and have a look at
Speaker 1: the go and look at her game. And if you
Speaker 1: think that she's reffing out a high clip, high standard name,
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I'm wrong, but I can guarantee you I'm
Speaker 1: not wrong. She's just not up to it. She's not
Speaker 1: up to it. Can we talk about ratings?
Speaker 2: Can we talk about the Yeah, well look that's my
Speaker 2: next point. Actually, look, Origin got four point ratings. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: Origin got four point nine million viewers for the men's
Speaker 2: one and for the women's we've got over just over
Speaker 2: a million, which is the highest viewed game behind the
Speaker 2: first Origin game. Is but what's your what's your thoughts
Speaker 2: about the standard of of of the rugby league that
Speaker 2: we're watching and the actual the channel line coverage.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go, let's go first. The let's go first.
Speaker 1: The ratings look was expected in the Origin game Yeah,
Speaker 1: it will be the highest watched television show because that's
Speaker 1: what Channel nine looks at masyas. I don't know the
Speaker 1: boot maps, so it's the it's the highest rating television
Speaker 1: show of the year. And and when you look at
Speaker 1: all the three games, they will be the highest rating games.
Speaker 1: I find it amazing that NRL W can get a
Speaker 1: million viewers per game. I find that amazing. And it's time. Now,
Speaker 1: it's time, as I as I got that T shirt.
Speaker 1: If you remember, I have to pay the girls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's time to pay the girls. And let let me
Speaker 1: let me, let me. Let me tell you. A young
Speaker 1: NRL player goes to training, goes home and goes in
Speaker 1: from behind. Ay and and and and I'm Sarah. I've
Speaker 1: been a stereotypical person. Now I'm talking about the youngsters.
Speaker 1: They go, they came from the television and pull out
Speaker 1: there their control for the for the PlayStation. Eight out
Speaker 1: of ten, yeah, eight out of ten. Some are fathers,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, some are some husband but in
Speaker 1: general they really haven't got too much too much doing
Speaker 1: after training. That's their job now, girls, because they don't
Speaker 1: get paid, they have to go to work. They train
Speaker 1: after work. Okay, half of them are married with children,
Speaker 1: so they've got house choices to do as well. But
Speaker 1: they're expected to give us on the weekend a high
Speaker 1: standard rugby league performance. It's entertaining, it's entertaining. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Well I suggest that the results are in the game
Speaker 1: is getting better as we speak. They say that rugby
Speaker 1: league is growing crazy. Well, guess what. Take the women's
Speaker 1: numbers out of it. We'll see how much rugby league's growing.
Speaker 1: They say, rgule leg's growing. Yeah, that's what Verlandis tells us.
Speaker 1: The feather says that the game is growing. Where we're
Speaker 1: doing this, we're doing that. Take the women's numbers out,
Speaker 1: we'll see how much it's growing. It's time to play
Speaker 1: the girls. Time to make him a fully professional Okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to move it the summer to give
Speaker 1: him clean air. Look, I'm not going to say no.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to work. I don't
Speaker 1: know how youre gonna play rougy league in summer. But
Speaker 1: at night at night, hey, I would I would move
Speaker 1: move Move there, move there there two rounds in the
Speaker 1: summer period. Given their clear origin origin time, what's the
Speaker 1: what's the bed I'll build up to something really good
Speaker 1: and and and they'll pay you know what, when he
Speaker 1: goes in two years, when he goes to the broadcasters,
Speaker 1: be Channel nine, be It, Fox, Bead, Amazon, Optus, whoever.
Speaker 1: And he's got he's got Men's Origin, Women's Origin, the
Speaker 1: semifinal series and the proper comp of both of them
Speaker 1: split split up. Imagine how much he can he can earn.
Speaker 1: Because that's what that's what everybody talks about. Money, money, money, money.
Speaker 1: I've never heard anything the land talks money. Every club
Speaker 1: says about money. You know what I mean, money, money, money. Well,
Speaker 1: if you want money, Pete, Look, I got no idea
Speaker 1: about your job. You're doing a great job, apparently, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I can see it on the field,
Speaker 1: you know, if they touch your head. Yeah, anyway, Well
Speaker 1: there you go, pet How about that? But it's okay,
Speaker 1: we spend how many million to go to Vegas, which
Speaker 1: nothing's going to come from. Yeah, exactly, fifteen twenty million
Speaker 1: to go to Vegas, which again, it's great, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I'm a big supporter. It's a great way to start
Speaker 1: the competition. But let's get real to think that we're
Speaker 1: making inroads into America. We are. You know, it's very fantasy.
Speaker 1: We're fools if we believe that that's not happening. That's
Speaker 1: not happening. That's my opinion. I don't know. I could
Speaker 1: be wrong. Please if you think it's different, enlightened me.
Speaker 1: What was the next question? The coverage.
Speaker 2: Of of Channel line mate, I'm a Fox watcher. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love the commentary better on Fox. I can't listen
Speaker 2: to any any broadcast that as a general manager of
Speaker 2: a club, part of part of Yeah, to show there's
Speaker 2: something wrong going on there.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll talk about that in the minute. But
Speaker 1: coverage specifically about the Origin because I don't watch it.
Speaker 1: I don't watch it during the year, like in around ten,
Speaker 1: you know, normal rugby league, so I wouldn't know what
Speaker 1: it's what it's like. Sometimes we got a dad's home
Speaker 1: and then he's got he's got it on the background,
Speaker 1: but we don't have the coverage, like we don't have
Speaker 1: the sound on. We watched it, We watch it and
Speaker 1: we talk probably better. Yeah, Look, they pay Channel nine
Speaker 1: pay a lot of money basically to have have Origin.
Speaker 1: I mean not that he doesn't rate the Sunday games
Speaker 1: in the front right, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they give all that money for origin. That's what is
Speaker 1: the big money spinner, mate, They can do a bit
Speaker 1: better than the commentary they've got. It's appalling, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's disgraceful. And I watch a lot of
Speaker 1: American sports, and if you want to see how commentary
Speaker 1: should be done or how courage should be held, have
Speaker 1: a look at some basketball games. I don't watch NFL,
Speaker 1: so I can't tell you there even even the hockey
Speaker 1: that's going on. Now, have a look look how they
Speaker 1: run their broadcast. And you told me that channel are
Speaker 1: doing a good job, because when when you got when
Speaker 1: you got h uh uh, what's which one? All the
Speaker 1: commentators there to get good for a second? But John's
Speaker 1: all of them Fidler, John Karon Smith Smith first. Then
Speaker 1: I mean exceptional places one thing, Yeah, exceptional play most
Speaker 1: of them what most of what we mentioned that mas
Speaker 1: of them will be immortals. But I don't mind being biased,
Speaker 1: but they've taken bias to this, Yeah that's this, to this,
Speaker 1: to this world of non coming back. Uh, it's it's disgraceful.
Speaker 1: It's really difficult. I turned I turned the volume down
Speaker 1: when I was watching Origin. I turned it down. I
Speaker 1: turned it down like jazz here a muffle so I
Speaker 1: can just hit like like you know, crowd, crowd noise
Speaker 1: more than them because it was hard to listen. And
Speaker 1: you know what, especially like your Darren, you're you're you,
Speaker 1: you were an exceptional rugby league player. You were I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed watching you play. But my friend, when it
Speaker 1: comes to when it comes to analyzing rugby league games,
Speaker 1: guess what, my my my son, who despises all sports,
Speaker 1: knows that one plus one is to do you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He understands what one plus one is two. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you, especially Origin, if you want to give us
Speaker 1: some if you want to talk and analytical or something
Speaker 1: that will inform us or interest us or excite me
Speaker 1: instead of just saying very simple basic things where and
Speaker 1: I said the same thing, which is my wife, who
Speaker 1: another one hates sport and hates rugby league. She said
Speaker 1: it a couple of minutes before he said it. It
Speaker 1: must be pretty pretty, pretty high brow made. It must
Speaker 1: be you know, real, you know, real real stuff. And
Speaker 1: you know what Cameron Smith and all of them, which
Speaker 1: I know they know the game. They keep right away
Speaker 1: from anything of an lytical and they stick to promoting
Speaker 1: their their marines, which is I don't know, is if
Speaker 1: that's the if that's the way, If that's the way
Speaker 1: broadcasting its supposed to be. Well again I'm wrong. So
Speaker 1: you want to hear the more, be more analytical, breaking
Speaker 1: down games and stuff like that. A little little bit
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it. A little bit from Fitler here,
Speaker 1: a bit of that. Sometimes. Yeah, he'll say this, Brad Brad. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't mind, Brad, Brad might be a little bit
Speaker 1: better than the others and he's not.
Speaker 2: Actually, maybe they're they're not allowed to. Maybe they don't
Speaker 2: want them to be they find it boring. Maybe they're broadcasters,
Speaker 2: so we don't want you doing too analytically.
Speaker 1: Just be fun. Do do you think that's what it is?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe because they're pretty smart guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. So I just sort of maybe being
Speaker 2: whole back and I just said that these guys are moortal.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't I bow to these people, but I want
Speaker 1: to be uber before I said, either I want to
Speaker 1: be entertained, I want to learn something or listen to
Speaker 1: them I'm either Yeah, I'm not entertained, nor do I
Speaker 1: learn anything, so I don't know. I'm sure there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people like me. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 1: a lot of people understand rugby league and they treat
Speaker 1: us like we're fools. We don't know rugby league, we
Speaker 1: don't understand it. Yeah, and that's what irks me a
Speaker 1: little bit. But again, I might be on the wrong track.
Speaker 1: They do it. They get the ratings like five. I mean,
Speaker 1: people watching, So I'm wrong, They're right. I'm wrong, They're
Speaker 1: right exactly all right. Now, there's a couple of big
Speaker 1: issues now that I want to bring up. We left
Speaker 1: them to last. A big one.
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Let's start with the lighter one.
Speaker 2: What's happening with the Broncos?
Speaker 1: Mate? What's happening with the Broncos now? Is the question.
Speaker 2: They're currently playing manly at the moment, so they could
Speaker 2: be winning. Don't look at the phone. So they could
Speaker 2: be winning for all I know. But what we've seen
Speaker 2: in the last how many weeks, that's just not the Broncos.
Speaker 2: Apart from that thirty points half against the Dogs, they
Speaker 2: haven't been that impressive. What's happening.
Speaker 1: So I get asked, I get I get asked this
Speaker 1: a lot, like I know, I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but this is this is this is what I think
Speaker 1: I know because their roster, with their roster, they should
Speaker 1: be at the moment top four and and starting starting
Speaker 1: to build for a premiership push with their roster. In
Speaker 1: my in my view, when when I look at that roster,
Speaker 1: it scares me. When I see them playing, I get
Speaker 1: a giggle. I get a giggle. It goes, it goes back,
Speaker 1: it goes back for a while. Let me paint a picture.
Speaker 1: Let me paint a picture, because rugby league is not
Speaker 1: only how good your list is or how good individual
Speaker 1: player is, which plays a big part, but there's another
Speaker 1: part of it. And can it be showing that because
Speaker 1: I told you about when I was watching them play,
Speaker 1: was a camp, was a camera, yes against camera, and
Speaker 1: somebody camera made made a sixty meter break crimeon called
Speaker 1: just a meter off the line and I just glanced
Speaker 1: at the back and the line was set, The line
Speaker 1: was set, ready to move up. This is after a
Speaker 1: big break. Yeah, and they didn't score out from that set. Wow. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that means they're all working hard and when you
Speaker 1: look at the canterbi list, you can't compare it to
Speaker 1: the broncosly. So let's let let let's let's let's go
Speaker 1: back to to Colbo. Colbo went on on on air
Speaker 1: and said something about his coach and there was no recompressions,
Speaker 1: reconcussions from that. I think the only guy who got
Speaker 1: it was the coach. He departed. He departed that year.
Speaker 1: Then we had an incident with his man. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't blame Isra Man for anything. Is Man did what
Speaker 1: he did. I don't lock what he did, but he
Speaker 1: paid his due whatever punishment he got. But this is
Speaker 1: the thing now. Now, now the the police and the
Speaker 1: courts have set a have set a bar. If you
Speaker 1: do that, this is what you get. The Broncos or sorry,
Speaker 1: the NRL, which they had a big opportunity to to
Speaker 1: make a statement, they said a bar. They said a bar. Okay.
Speaker 1: Then the Broncos club straight away when they could they
Speaker 1: got him in. They said a bar. So they told
Speaker 1: the plane group that if you're a good player, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, it's like you get, it's ok as
Speaker 1: long as you're a good player. As long as you're
Speaker 1: a good player. Doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what happens. Okay. Then we then we
Speaker 1: had the incident with the power liking a post like
Speaker 1: in a post, and I saw the post, I went
Speaker 1: back to have a look at the past, thinking it
Speaker 1: was it's going to be a really bad post. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a baud. He apologized straight
Speaker 1: away after it anyway, but you know, any unliked it.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was. Okay, Well he got sacked, and that's
Speaker 1: fair enough. You don't want him, you don't need him,
Speaker 1: you're not going to play him. He's a strain on
Speaker 1: the on the on the budget. We get rid of
Speaker 1: him again. I've got no issue with all these things.
Speaker 1: But what you're actually doing is subconsciously you're putting ideas
Speaker 1: and thoughts in young man's minds. That's what you're doing. Okay.
Speaker 1: Then lately we're had Reese okay again and nothing incident, nothing,
Speaker 1: You know what, every twenty two year old boy does
Speaker 1: that and more. The bad thing is he posted it. Hey,
Speaker 1: for me, it's a nothing. But guess what did did
Speaker 1: he get a talking to? That? That's all we got?
Speaker 1: Bit of a bit of a talk. Yeahs on the risk. Okay,
Speaker 1: So once again they've set a standard. Now, I said
Speaker 1: to you at the end of last year, if Madge
Speaker 1: can put character into this team in one off season,
Speaker 1: I'll be a monkey's uncle. I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Speaker 1: Well he hasn't obviously, he hasn't obviously. Now will they
Speaker 1: make the eight? They probably won't make the eight, But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you now, when there's a blow torch underneath
Speaker 1: their belly, we see what's happened. I don't have told you.
Speaker 1: I'm not making things up. We've seen it this year.
Speaker 1: Last year we saw in the Grand Final, in the
Speaker 1: Grand Final that they lost when the blooe torch was there,
Speaker 1: gone gone. Okay. So if they keep on, if if
Speaker 1: the Broncos club, if Magic keeps on accepting media okery,
Speaker 1: media mediocrity, mediocrity, mediocrity, well that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't stand up and do something like what
Speaker 1: Gusta done and and get rid of twelve to bring
Speaker 1: in twelve. Now, don't expect them to bring in twelve,
Speaker 1: but he's got to. He's got to create an atmosphere
Speaker 1: a lot of tension. They've got to be a little
Speaker 1: bit scared of him as well. They've got to they've
Speaker 1: got to want something hard. They don't want anything. They
Speaker 1: don't want it because from from when I was thirteen fourteen,
Speaker 1: they get put into a broncho system. They smash every
Speaker 1: team in front of them. They're they're great, they're fantastic,
Speaker 1: they're gods, they're gods. They get into the first grade
Speaker 1: at at Aileen nineteen into a good into a good team.
Speaker 1: They're gods. Where where do they Where do they work hard?
Speaker 1: When do they work hard? When? When? When do they
Speaker 1: have time to to create character for them? And character
Speaker 1: and it comes from hard work and people can say
Speaker 1: anything they want. It's therefore to see I'm not making
Speaker 1: this up. It's in front of us what I saw
Speaker 1: just before, it's in front of us tonight as well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, so it's a problem
Speaker 1: that they created. Now have they got? Can magic get
Speaker 1: them out this year? Yes?
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's a long season, mate, DM. Look there are
Speaker 2: only two points or whatever this I think they are
Speaker 2: in the eighth, so it's very tight. It can easily
Speaker 2: turn around. What surprises me is after we saw that
Speaker 2: game against the Bulldogs. They put thirty points on the
Speaker 2: team competition leaders. Yes, and since that game they've lost
Speaker 2: three in a row. So they've got it in them
Speaker 2: and you think they're going to kick on from there,
Speaker 2: but it's gone backwards since that game.
Speaker 1: They've got work. I saw forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 2: It was, it was perfection, and then after that we've
Speaker 2: seen eighty minutes since of shit.
Speaker 1: Well, when when they lost against every time, when they
Speaker 1: lost against George, I did I did say to a
Speaker 1: friend that, well, they lost against a half pairing of
Speaker 1: Flannagan and Kingtonga with three NRL games and a guy
Speaker 1: who's not a first grader. So they lost against that team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So if you think that they they played well, if
Speaker 1: they played against a Storm or a good team, they
Speaker 1: would have could have put a thirty forty on them.
Speaker 1: That's my pin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disappointing. As a Broncos fan. You just be
Speaker 2: scratching your head, going what's happening.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, like I say we need a
Speaker 1: strong New Zealand team. I say we need a strong
Speaker 1: Paramount team and a strong Canadaby team, and I'll throw
Speaker 1: I'll throw West in as well. The Sydney. Okay, for
Speaker 1: the crowds to come in, you need s George strong
Speaker 1: and that's that's when you get the flocks. That's when
Speaker 1: you get them. We need all these teams to be
Speaker 1: in the hunt and which they are so and the
Speaker 1: Broncos you need them in there. You need the strong
Speaker 1: Broncast team. But we could, we could. We can talk
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins and they're doing okay, they're right, you
Speaker 1: know North Queensland again, they're all right, they're not bad.
Speaker 1: Gold Case have got some issues. Gold Golcos forget it.
Speaker 1: I don't know does he can't even fix that? He
Speaker 1: kind of it's a cultural thing. It's a cultural thing.
Speaker 1: And you know what, when DESI goes up and can't
Speaker 1: sort that out, it goes really deep. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you can do. Broncos are different. Broncos should be
Speaker 1: not only top four, they should be threatening. They should
Speaker 1: be we should be talking about them that they're in
Speaker 1: a window. That's my opinion. But again people think I
Speaker 1: don't like him, so I don't like them. I want
Speaker 1: to see I'll make it very very very clear. I
Speaker 1: love watching good rugby league wherever it comes from. Don't care,
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 2: Think that part of the problem with the Broncos is
Speaker 2: since they got rid of Wayne Bennett. Becausehen Wayn. Bennett's
Speaker 2: at the team, they perform at their peak, they don't
Speaker 2: go that bad. But since Bennett left and they kicked
Speaker 2: him out, they didn't want to kick him out. They
Speaker 2: wanted Seaball. But since then they've had Sea Ball, they've
Speaker 2: had Walters now and they've got McGuire like it's their
Speaker 2: own doing because they got rid of a super coach
Speaker 2: could control these characters and probably do something about and
Speaker 2: get better results.
Speaker 1: Well, but he wasn't good enough for him. Apparently they
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of him. My question to you is,
Speaker 1: knowing WAYN Bennett's track record, if he had Broncos, this
Speaker 1: Broncos team right now, do you think they'll be top
Speaker 1: four pushing for a PREMI shure absolutely. So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's answers. Answer the question, yeah, answer the question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it looks like that burnt that bridge. I don't
Speaker 1: know whether you'd want to go back after what they
Speaker 1: did to him. It's pretty bad. Yeah, you won't go back,
Speaker 1: you know the other issue is that Madge. Madge is
Speaker 1: a really good coach for a rep team. I don't
Speaker 1: know how he's going to go. Who want to comp
Speaker 1: with Souse? Yeah, the Sam Burgers man. But still he's
Speaker 1: got he's got Carric and he's got hass Are.
Speaker 2: He's saying he can't do the same with Broncos with
Speaker 2: paying hass that he did with Soaus with Burgess. Come on,
Speaker 2: hauss is the goat. He's the greatest all time. We're
Speaker 2: not going to see anyone better than He's not human.
Speaker 1: He's not human. But I'm going to shock you now
Speaker 1: if you ask me who would I prefer Samuel? Really
Speaker 1: just because of his attitude as he's a winner, so one.
Speaker 1: It's physically gifted, just physically. Pain is just out of
Speaker 1: out of this world. It's just a natural. He doesn't hurt,
Speaker 1: he doesn't fatigue, he keeps on going, he punches the line.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just something special to watch, but with
Speaker 1: no fuss, no aggression. Sam's a wrecking ball. Sam is
Speaker 1: sam was a wrecking ball. And you know what he
Speaker 1: brings everybody with him. I'm not sure if Pain brings
Speaker 1: people emotionally with him, an emotional human being. It does
Speaker 1: his job. Don't get me wrong. Remember what I said
Speaker 1: about origin. The shot was always after our hush run,
Speaker 1: That's when the shot was on. So yeah, look he's
Speaker 1: a he's a special human being. But look again, I'm
Speaker 1: expecting them to be the broadcast, to be top four,
Speaker 1: and I'm expecting them by the end of the year
Speaker 1: to be to be pushing. Okay, I really, I really am.
Speaker 1: Look at the list and if they're not, if they
Speaker 1: don't make top eight, gee, so what would be the
Speaker 1: So you're going to have the management has to give
Speaker 1: the coach some complete leeway and he's he has to
Speaker 1: he has to cut or he can't cut twelve. Any
Speaker 1: good can do that? Well, no, you can't cut twelve.
Speaker 1: He has to cut. Yes, hell you cut well number one.
Speaker 1: Reynolds goes, well, he's not signed anyway. Okay, Reynolds goes, uh.
Speaker 2: Ben Hunt will then go to seven. They've sign him
Speaker 2: for a couple of years. Think so he could play
Speaker 2: the role next year.
Speaker 1: I'll get rid of bed Hunter. Be if you asking anyway,
Speaker 1: you cut your think you know what? You know what
Speaker 1: when you're a training you know who's who's a bit
Speaker 1: weak and not not not not weak? Or you start
Speaker 1: now and you do a serroudo when when they had
Speaker 1: that trouble with that the Pine guy whatever his name was,
Speaker 1: who took him to court. How they found weakness in
Speaker 1: all these players. You go down that road, you're absolutely
Speaker 1: given to them and whoever. Because there's there's a word
Speaker 1: in the media in Brisbane there that they're not happy
Speaker 1: with him and he's training too hard. Let's find these
Speaker 1: people and second simple sacam, Yeah, that's how you start.
Speaker 1: So this so with this, make this fire. Okay. Someone
Speaker 1: is said that there's no doubt in the corean male.
Speaker 1: They're saying that the training so Walters is too soft
Speaker 1: and this guy's too hard. So what you do is
Speaker 1: you find that one, that two, that three, that's three players.
Speaker 1: Wait do you see the way? Do you see the
Speaker 1: whole place? Change it? Yeah? Okay, we've we've we saw that.
Speaker 1: We saw that in front of us. Yeah, the Bulldogs
Speaker 1: three years ago. Every game Okay, so when we're losing
Speaker 1: by forty, I was happy. Yeah, when we'll lose listen,
Speaker 1: listen to me. When we're losing by forty, we're losing,
Speaker 1: buye much more than forty. I was happy three years ago.
Speaker 1: Only Yeah, So if if, if Sirah can turn it
Speaker 1: around in three years. I'm sure magic can. All you
Speaker 1: do is be strong. Well, look at Webster. He went
Speaker 1: to the Warriors and they were a basket case. So
Speaker 1: we're just all over the place. And look what he's
Speaker 1: done there there, all of a sudden become a great side.
Speaker 1: So that's perfect. He'd be the man him.
Speaker 2: Is what he's done is I think, more freaky than anyone,
Speaker 2: to be honest, pretty good, which it's very good.
Speaker 1: Were so many injuries and he had to reform that
Speaker 1: whole team and restructure their their their patterns of play,
Speaker 1: and so the first year it was a very very
Speaker 1: very sort of pen sort of style. Now it's not anymore.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think what they should do is, I think
Speaker 2: Brisbane should demand pain house and Carrigan gets sacked and
Speaker 2: go to Saint George so they can learn from Yeah,
Speaker 2: make us fans happy.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, you're right, right, Maybe.
Speaker 2: Along it's nice pain, if you want nice pain, if
Speaker 2: you want on the beach, on the beach, it's beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful Carrigan as well with you, there's there's some carrig
Speaker 2: Is issues there.
Speaker 1: Carrigan hasn't had a great Yeah he's and so that
Speaker 1: and and I'm a massive kind of carrigan. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. Maybe because he's put him in the middle,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's and in the Origin arena.
Speaker 1: He wasn't as good as I expected him to be.
Speaker 1: So yeah, very quiet one for him. But anyway, that's
Speaker 1: that's og. This is the big one now, mate, this
Speaker 1: is the one that I think Tanya and Nick wanted
Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts for last week but you couldn't
Speaker 1: make it.
Speaker 2: But let's hear it now. Galvin officially signs for the Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: Gus got his way. Now, firstly, what's your thoughts on
Speaker 2: this whole Gus gould Saga, this whole bashing he got
Speaker 2: from Chalmers, this manipulation that he's been doing all through
Speaker 2: the media to get Galvin there and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Mate, What's what's your thoughts? So I'm going to be
Speaker 1: long winded again, and I've got views, and I've got
Speaker 1: two different different views Full Good Bulldogs put them on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody knows I'm a Bulldog Bulldog supporter, so that's why
Speaker 1: I've got two views. Full Gold is a despicable grub
Speaker 1: what he did and how how he he performs his business,
Speaker 1: caughting a young man for about I don't know, sixteen
Speaker 1: to eighteen months through the public is disgraceful. Now do
Speaker 1: we think that behind closed doors, other CEOs general managers
Speaker 1: are not doing it. I'm not not ove enough to
Speaker 1: know to think that things that happen like this in
Speaker 1: different clubs with different people, with different general managers. But
Speaker 1: the way this man, the way this man has done
Speaker 1: it is wrong to the highest order. And I'm surprised
Speaker 1: that he's not sacked from Channel nine. But Channel nine
Speaker 1: is more spineless than the NRL, so they're not going
Speaker 1: to sack anyone because that show gets high ratings. The
Speaker 1: what was it called rubbishared, I don't watch it well.
Speaker 2: Now everyone knows that everything he says is lies anyway,
Speaker 2: so it's going to wreck the credibility of that show.
Speaker 1: And what he actually did accept in interview from from
Speaker 1: Chambers is that he exposed himself. He did I've never
Speaker 1: seen him buckles as for the first time in my life,
Speaker 1: I saw Phil Good the big power breaker buckle because
Speaker 1: you know what Chamers was right, Okay, you know what
Speaker 1: when he asked him that haven't you spoken to to
Speaker 1: like and he said no, you know what we all
Speaker 1: know that we all know that's a lie. The coaching
Speaker 1: staff has explain you line, piece of ship. That's all
Speaker 1: I can say about you now as a Bulldog supporter, Okay,
Speaker 1: I love what he's done. Well no, well yeah you
Speaker 1: got the result. So so so what Gus gul does
Speaker 1: and has done? And what what's that piece of rubbish?
Speaker 1: What Isaac Moses does and and Ac says it. He
Speaker 1: gets the best deals for his for his clients, and
Speaker 1: Gus does the best for for for the Bulldogs. It's
Speaker 1: just the way he conducts his business. Now, I personally
Speaker 1: think he should resign from Channel nine and he can
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants all the Bulldogs. He can resign
Speaker 1: for one. But guess what, he doesn't want to lose
Speaker 1: his clip of one point three for Channel nine and
Speaker 1: one point eight for the Bulldogs. Wow, he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to lose his clip there money man? Oh yeah, come on,
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get real. You know, you know Gus
Speaker 1: coul You know he's a university graduate, he's a lawyer.
Speaker 1: That's why it's such a good speaker. They don't think
Speaker 1: he's a dummy. He's no dummy, of course not. He's
Speaker 1: no dummy. So what is effectively done for the for
Speaker 1: the Cannaby team this year is effectively derailed season. I
Speaker 1: can I can guarantee you that that that's going to
Speaker 1: happen because when you go through a preseason and you
Speaker 1: surrounded did to them what he did to them, put
Speaker 1: them through living hell and says to him that I
Speaker 1: love you, I'll die for you, I'll kill for you.
Speaker 1: But you you you can go? Okay, twelve rounds in? Yeah,
Speaker 1: trust he is gone. It will take a while to
Speaker 1: build up again. This kid better be a fucking immortal.
Speaker 1: What he's done in and around the game, He's put
Speaker 1: the game in distribute Poor Benji? Now is he right? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Do I think Benji is a good coach right dis moment? No,
Speaker 1: he's not a coach. You need five years in the
Speaker 1: Reggies and then you can start talking about being a coach.
Speaker 1: The guy two years ago became a coach, not a
Speaker 1: Reggis coach, first grade coach, so he's still learning on
Speaker 1: the job. Do I like bench? Yes? Do I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be a good coach? Yes? I do
Speaker 1: think he's so is Galvin Wright or whoever said that?
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe that Galvin went to his father
Speaker 1: or to his manager and said that Benji can't. I
Speaker 1: don't believe it does. What does Galvin know about a
Speaker 1: good coach? He's nineteen. When has he ever been coached
Speaker 1: at a high level? So he doesn't know. Now, I
Speaker 1: think the kid's been poorly advised. And I hurt for
Speaker 1: the Tigers' supporters and the Tiger's team. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I got an eighty eight or eighty six year old
Speaker 1: father who's sitting down and asking me, and what do
Speaker 1: I telling him? Asking me? Why? Why? What do I
Speaker 1: tell the guy? Yeah? I tell the guy. So I
Speaker 1: feel for them. Now, what what Gus has actually done
Speaker 1: is if you go forward three years and you have
Speaker 1: Matthew Wood at number seven, that promising youngster we've got
Speaker 1: and he looks the real deal. You got Galvin, a
Speaker 1: developing and his three years into his career and knows
Speaker 1: the system at six, and you buy and you will
Speaker 1: buy another strike fullback with what's there? You look, you're
Speaker 1: talking rings because this year, even without Galvin, you're not
Speaker 1: talking rings because we saw three games. Three games Bronco
Speaker 1: has done it to him, Camera done it to him.
Speaker 1: And then the fin's done to him. How you beat
Speaker 1: canterby not hard, I'll tell you now, not hard to
Speaker 1: be canterby their their their middle is as weak as jelly.
Speaker 1: But you just have to keep on, keep on, keep
Speaker 1: on keeping at it. You have to keep on keeping
Speaker 1: at it, and you'll get it. Okay, So what what what? What?
Speaker 1: I don't know what more to say. I think I
Speaker 1: think you should I think you should go. I think
Speaker 1: you should get sacked from Channel nine. Honestly, I think
Speaker 1: you should resign from Channel nine and and then we
Speaker 1: won't be having these conversations. Chamis exposed him, Chamus exposed him,
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I think Chambis is a fucking
Speaker 1: grub as well. Personally, I think Chamis is a grub
Speaker 1: as well. Pretty exposed or what what type of grub
Speaker 1: he really? So? So before that interview we thought maybe, no,
Speaker 1: he's a grub, disgraceful, disgraceful human being, but he gets
Speaker 1: results for his team. I don't know. I want to
Speaker 1: be fair and balanced. What's wrong is wrong, and he
Speaker 1: was wrong. He was fucking wrong. He made me sick,
Speaker 1: really honestly, in the pit of my stomach, made me sick.
Speaker 1: But on the flip side and his kid, like I said,
Speaker 1: better be a bloody and mortal. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, he's doing the right thing for his Yeah,
Speaker 1: save me here, No, no, I want to be fair.
Speaker 1: I think it's what he's done is just it just
Speaker 1: shows a lot about his character. Yes, it does, because.
Speaker 2: What he said about Bendy's got is what's upset most
Speaker 2: of the Tigers guys like Leu and that they're all
Speaker 2: upset about that. But I can understand if Lachlan went
Speaker 2: to Paramatta because that was his junior club and apparently
Speaker 2: he was a supporter.
Speaker 1: Of Paramatta and blah blah blah, so.
Speaker 2: I could sort of underst Then he left Tigers to
Speaker 2: go back to his junior club to be there played
Speaker 2: next to Mitch Moses, who is a star all right,
Speaker 2: But he went to Canterbury because he thinks he's got
Speaker 2: more chance of winning a camp there.
Speaker 1: Now, Mitch Moses did the same thing.
Speaker 2: He left Balmain to the Tigers to go to Parramata
Speaker 2: because he thought he had more chance of winning a
Speaker 2: Grand Final. Well, he's thirty one, he doesn't won a
Speaker 2: comp yet and he's closer to retirement than Lachlan is.
Speaker 2: But he could finish his career without a crop premiership
Speaker 2: and he did the same thing Galvin did. Basically he
Speaker 2: left because Tigers weren't good enough, right t Desk. I
Speaker 2: did the same thing, but he went to Robbo. Now
Speaker 2: do you think so oldo is that good that he's
Speaker 2: going to win a camp? Like he's leading the comp
Speaker 2: in first of June after twelve rounds and he's only
Speaker 2: beaten what Sharks and this and Canberra right who were
Speaker 2: twenty miler ahead and put the qu in the rank.
Speaker 2: But apart from that, he's beaten all teams that probably
Speaker 2: won't be in the aid anyway.
Speaker 1: I said that.
Speaker 2: So for Galvern to think that, just for Galvin to
Speaker 2: think that he's going to get a Canry win a camp,
Speaker 2: he's taking a big gamble. Like if he wants to
Speaker 2: win a camp, then he appro knocks on Cleary's door
Speaker 2: and says, I want to I want to go to
Speaker 2: Penrith and I want to play next to nath Cleary.
Speaker 2: Or he knocks on Robbo's door and goes, I want
Speaker 2: to go to Roosters, I want to comp, or he
Speaker 2: goes to Bennett, or he goes to Bellamy. But Soroll
Speaker 2: you know, I don't get it, you know what, Like
Speaker 2: he had the same pools at the same pooling originally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how's he going now? Is he gonna win? Are
Speaker 1: they going to win a camp? I'm not sure. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Actually I thought this year.
Speaker 2: Well, I said the same with Canary As what sharks
Speaker 2: for three years beating the bottom sites.
Speaker 1: But I think that a young Galvin has drank Phil
Speaker 1: Gul's kool aid exactly. He sold him. He's a snake.
Speaker 1: He sold him, He sold him, sold him. Now now
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not going to city and tell you.
Speaker 1: What I can tell you is that I see how
Speaker 1: he's improved a rugby league team. But he's got next
Speaker 1: to him, Phil gool Yeah, no other coach, no other
Speaker 1: rugby league coach has got next to him. It's a
Speaker 1: big thing. I feel good. It is. Imagine if Saint
Speaker 1: George it is general manager, feel good and he turns
Speaker 1: your roster by twelve players. Good question. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: it's Jeworie, But what I'm saying is you can't judge Serrada.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't judge Serrada, but you can judge that club
Speaker 2: because look at Toby Sexton, now like Toby Sex and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he's thrown out of the rubbish.
Speaker 2: And if Lachlan Galvin in eighteen months time Cannabury is
Speaker 2: struggling and he gets thrown, they're just going to thrown
Speaker 2: out of the water. But the same thing can be
Speaker 2: said for the Bulldogs. Lachlan Galvin to me, showed the
Speaker 2: top of character that he is. That if the Bulldogs
Speaker 2: are struggling in three years and his contract's up, he's out.
Speaker 2: So he's just going to change ship to the ten
Speaker 2: that's coming first.
Speaker 1: Again. Okay, I don't trust this guy. He's got a
Speaker 1: very bad character to me. Now, Okay, look I'm not
Speaker 1: prepared to talk about his character yet and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why because I don't believe he's just been pulled.
Speaker 1: He's nineteen. He's nineteen, How can you have character?
Speaker 2: But it didn't have to say anything, mate, Yeah, compare
Speaker 2: Lomex now to him, right, wanted out nothing. They didn't
Speaker 2: say nothing about anything. He just wanted out of the club.
Speaker 2: That makes the man, yeah, I know, but still man,
Speaker 2: he could have just kept his mouth shut. He didn't
Speaker 2: have to say anything about Benji. You know, I don't
Speaker 2: want to be coached by whatever he was. I agree
Speaker 2: now like you said, it could be his manager that
Speaker 2: said that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, we don't know. We don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: I agree, I don't know. When I speak Rugby League,
Speaker 1: like I just said about the Broncos, I speak from
Speaker 1: seeing something. And when I said that continuously the same things.
Speaker 1: Well there's something there, I'll speak about it. But with Lucky,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, what did I
Speaker 1: tell you before? I think it's before Gul's first mistake
Speaker 1: he's pulled, since it's been at Canterbury for three years,
Speaker 1: whatever it's been, I think he's pulled every right rain.
Speaker 1: This one, I think is his first mistake. You'll see.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't, I don't. I really don't know.
Speaker 1: All I know is and you know what, I really
Speaker 1: I really hate this on on socials and on the
Speaker 1: Bulldog's forums and the podcasts, some of the podcasts that
Speaker 1: I listen, all you bulldogs who are crying about sucking
Speaker 1: this and sucked in that, and we've got this, we
Speaker 1: got that. Hold Hold up for a minute, as Adie says,
Speaker 1: hold hold, hold my beer, because you don't know what
Speaker 1: we've gone. We've seen glimpses of a young man playing
Speaker 1: some high quality of rugby league at the same age.
Speaker 1: Katawa for me is far far better, exactly, and so
Speaker 1: many streaks ahead of Galvin. They're the same age. Actually,
Speaker 1: No is Galvin's nineteen, he's twenty twenty or twenty one.
Speaker 1: Twenty one is okay, even if twenty one. I saw
Speaker 1: this last year when he was twenty. Yeah, exactly. So
Speaker 1: he's far, far, far far better than than you at
Speaker 1: the moment. Like you. So guys, be careful what use
Speaker 1: are saying, because we know nothing. We know nothing. We've
Speaker 1: heard one GM believe that he's the best thing he's
Speaker 1: ever seen. As Nicol said that had Fitler, ye same,
Speaker 1: and what Nicol said last week he had head in
Speaker 1: his team an eighteen year old Bidlow who played for
Speaker 1: Australia the same year and Origin the same year.
Speaker 2: It goes to show how much you looked at his
Speaker 2: Penroth juniors too, because the guys like Yale and Cleary
Speaker 2: came out starring as we suppecially now they've got four rings,
Speaker 2: more than any other player that he's coached, and they
Speaker 2: didn't see them as superstars when our young So God
Speaker 2: this guy must be really special. Let's wait and see,
Speaker 2: say now to finish this sof George, let's finish this
Speaker 2: off with a closing quote. Now, with all this rubbish
Speaker 2: that we saw with Gold and Moses, the two guys
Speaker 2: that have got the most power in the the looks
Speaker 2: things because Valandis isn't doing anything in the Channel nine
Speaker 2: or anyone, so they're letting them just do whatever they want.
Speaker 2: You think that the only thing that we should do
Speaker 2: now is bringing a draft and a trade window, and
Speaker 2: with those two things relinquishes all power that they're know
Speaker 2: all these play managers and all these things, and Gold's
Speaker 2: talk it does nothing because at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: all these players go in to pull and straight away
Speaker 2: that any team can bed for him. Most of the
Speaker 2: teams at the bottom that need the most. That is
Speaker 2: that you reckon, thank you. The only solution is this
Speaker 2: er earl. Now, can they look at this now and say, okay,
Speaker 2: now we definitely need a trade window and we definitely
Speaker 2: mad it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying that in
Speaker 1: these questions he's asking me either off the car or
Speaker 1: just he knows me. Well, it's a pet a pet
Speaker 1: bug for me. Where the only professional game, one of
Speaker 1: the amni professional games in the world, number one has
Speaker 1: not got a draft, who has not got a trade window?
Speaker 1: And and the other thing is we don't know how
Speaker 1: much players are earning, nor do we know how much
Speaker 1: their third parties are. We have to we have to
Speaker 1: go finding this. And plus this is the other the
Speaker 1: other thing we talked about Channel nine and this is
Speaker 1: this is more r than Channel nine because channel and
Speaker 1: I should demand this. So when you watch and I'll
Speaker 1: go n B A because because I watch NBA. Let's
Speaker 1: say the Lakers. So the Lakers have a podcast which
Speaker 1: comes out every day. They have a YouTube channel which
Speaker 1: comes out every day with new footage at training, and
Speaker 1: they pick a player and they even go to their houses.
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you go so much access there, Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys. Further because on the ground, the top players,
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh oh wow. So when they do something,
Speaker 1: when they're talking to their players, maybe not live, but
Speaker 1: when they play a replay you can hear. Imagine how
Speaker 1: cool would it be to hear when someone makes a break,
Speaker 1: what's happening all around him? Yeah, I think it's amazing.
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, Cleary would look like even
Speaker 2: the biggest star, wouldn't it because no one knows what
Speaker 2: he says, and there they just say that he's a failure.
Speaker 2: But you know, he's actually quite a He does a
Speaker 2: lot of the talking. If it's not for Nathan's talking,
Speaker 2: a lot of things don't get done.
Speaker 1: Again, well, thank you, so, so Nathan is a good example.
Speaker 1: Nathan's a good example. And I'll tell you why because
Speaker 1: we on the television and people who don't thoroughly understand
Speaker 1: rugby league, okay, have a look at players and if
Speaker 1: they're not breaking breaks or they're not making massive tackles
Speaker 1: of forty twenty's, well they've had a bad game. But
Speaker 1: when when a Nathan controls and are taking shape with
Speaker 1: his mouth and has a look at the has a
Speaker 1: look at the defense and controls with his movements and
Speaker 1: with the ball movements controls the defense. I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear what's happening. I'd love to hear Nathan, Nathan, you know,
Speaker 1: turn around to the hookah and say you know we're
Speaker 1: going to left three, right, We're going We're going to
Speaker 1: do this explains the whole set, okay, and then you'll
Speaker 1: see it unfold. I think it's it's it's it'll be amazing.
Speaker 1: I'd love to me being a footing nerd, I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear stuff. And you know what Shade Guilders Al
Speaker 1: Alexander's the m VP this this year in NBA, he
Speaker 1: was miked up and it was amazing. I heard what
Speaker 1: I would hear what he's thinking, and you know they'll
Speaker 1: they'll twelve down and he instructed for two minutes. He came,
Speaker 1: they came back and he constructed the whole movement. It
Speaker 1: was amazing. You can hear him talk it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Even that Grand Final where they won against
Speaker 1: the Broncos, imagine that fifteen minutes that when they were
Speaker 1: coming back, you could hear what was happening and what
Speaker 1: they were saying. What you know, how things were unfolded.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine those huddles, what they say, you know,
Speaker 1: when they breathe, I'd love to know what they're saying
Speaker 1: or behind the past, I'd love to know what they're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so access Sorry, I went off the I went off
Speaker 1: the track. And that's more about Channel nine and money
Speaker 1: for the thing. Oh draft, imagine if we had a draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: come November December. Whatever it is. Okay, there's a draft.
Speaker 1: It's televised exactly. It's televised more content because guess what
Speaker 1: drafts in all the other codes televised exactly. I'll tell
Speaker 1: her to be huge events. So who comes on the market?
Speaker 1: Locking guess what? Who's coming last? Now? Penriff? Let's say,
Speaker 1: oh god, let's let's say Piff's coming last. They got
Speaker 1: the first dip. They got the first dip, So I
Speaker 1: guess all of a sudden, Phil gool partly is taken
Speaker 1: out of his influence on Channel nine and what he
Speaker 1: does behind the behind closed doors where it should be
Speaker 1: we don't know, hasn't done it, can't do it. First
Speaker 1: first dip is Penriff. Okay, let's say Pendriffe passes up,
Speaker 1: passes him up because they want the third pick. Let's say,
Speaker 1: for argument's sake, or wait a minute, who wants him?
Speaker 1: It's can we want him? Okay? Well, they want Burton
Speaker 1: and Thing back. They want Burton back and they want
Speaker 1: kick Out back. That's okay, so yeah, we got luck
Speaker 1: like who you go for us? They go, We'll give
Speaker 1: you some reserve. No, how about how about Burton? Oh no,
Speaker 1: well you you're the one who want him. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have him, no problem, you don't want him,
Speaker 1: you don't want him. Oh, let's make it, do you know?
Speaker 1: You know here we go, so all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you can see how full gooal his power is his
Speaker 1: half exactly. But guess what's even better? You know that
Speaker 1: piece of rubbish management manager, he's got no say at all.
Speaker 1: He's going a little much less. They can negotiate money.
Speaker 1: You can negotiate money if you want. That's it. But
Speaker 1: where he goes how he's doing his no So you
Speaker 1: know when when how Moses goes to Manly and loads
Speaker 1: him up with players that no one else wants and
Speaker 1: he's got to they've got to pay that much for him. Well,
Speaker 1: that can't happen under the draft. Yeah, okay, now origin
Speaker 1: time trade window, that's it, no problem, Like he wants
Speaker 1: to wait to the trade window. Fantastic, not a problem. Trade.
Speaker 1: But you trade players and money and picks. So if
Speaker 1: you're going to do the NBA, the NBA away, you
Speaker 1: have picks. They give you picks. It's a long, long story.
Speaker 1: So let's forget the picks. It's too hard to work out.
Speaker 1: So okay, so who you got. It's the same thing.
Speaker 1: Who you got for me? I got Lucky? You want
Speaker 1: who do you want? Yeah? I mean you want Luckier.
Speaker 1: I'll take him him here now, okay, next, So you
Speaker 1: know what, Diet Dick get a stupid Newcastle will jump
Speaker 1: in and give him two million dollars and give us
Speaker 1: half a squad. You know how Newcastle is. They bought
Speaker 1: for one point six one point three, so they probably
Speaker 1: take Lucky. They'll probably give you Ponger in half the team.
Speaker 1: It probably will, you know what I mean. So you
Speaker 1: don't have to negotiate with gool So if it were,
Speaker 1: it just makes so much. That makes sense if you
Speaker 1: don't have if you've got a salary cap and you
Speaker 1: don't have a draft and a trade window or salary
Speaker 1: cap doesn't work. Sorry, cap doesn't work and work, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Because you know what I would love to know.
Speaker 1: I would love to know the Bronco players they're also
Speaker 1: they're really yeah, and the Bulldogs and the Bulldogs Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd love to know this. I'm sure Lord has given
Speaker 1: him money left the table, but let's forget that. I'd
Speaker 1: like to know because because while she's not on a
Speaker 1: million dollars, he's on a millon dollars on the books,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Okay, if he's not on one point
Speaker 1: five with third parties and that's legal. Is that problem? Here?
Speaker 1: Is that problem? But we don't do it. We're the
Speaker 1: only We're the only sport I'm telling you now google it.
Speaker 1: I thought I was wrong. We're the only sport that
Speaker 1: don't know a player salaries. Yeah, it's crazy, and we're
Speaker 1: supposed to be this sport. Rugby league is a sport
Speaker 1: that's that run like somewhere back in the seventies. Really,
Speaker 1: we're a primitive, little backyard and that's why we're going
Speaker 1: to die. For all the land Is tries and for
Speaker 1: for his efforts of making us, you know, a powerhouse sport.
Speaker 1: If you don't doesn't change the way he does business.
Speaker 1: We're just this little backyard sport which eventually maybe even die.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll die very seriously because the things they do
Speaker 1: and the are real whatever those well, you know what,
Speaker 1: they think they're doing the right thing for the players,
Speaker 1: and the players think.
Speaker 2: We can see how many mental illness cases we had
Speaker 2: this year alone, so they're doing a great job. Every
Speaker 2: player's got mental illness by the looks of things, so obviously,
Speaker 2: But the thing I don't understand with is, like you
Speaker 2: said before, there's so many codes that have got drafts
Speaker 2: and trade windows. So all the NRAL have to do
Speaker 2: is go and speak to those codes and find out
Speaker 2: what they've got in the back end that protects them
Speaker 2: from any rl pas and that attacking them and then
Speaker 2: putting them in place, and then they're clear. They can
Speaker 2: just go back and say, well everyone else doesn't, so
Speaker 2: we're doing it based on these factors, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. So it can be done. It's just that
Speaker 2: they just don't want to. And maybe because there's a
Speaker 2: couple of guys that we know now that are pulling
Speaker 2: the strings.
Speaker 1: No, no, right, you know what I expect. Nothing shocks
Speaker 1: me anymore because you know what I thought, Abdullah and
Speaker 1: the Landis are running the game. Well now we know
Speaker 1: they're not running absolutely, they're not absolutely. And and there's
Speaker 1: I believe that there's more gasses and there's more we
Speaker 1: just don't know them. There's more gusses, and there's more.
Speaker 2: Piece of gems on TV though sorry, there's no germs
Speaker 2: on other club gems on TV.
Speaker 1: That's true. No, no, no, he's he's the biggest. Look
Speaker 1: what he done, how he courted Lucky from his podcast,
Speaker 1: from from the television we show whatever that shows hundred
Speaker 1: forty or whatever. It's waterline. It's got to be illegal, surely.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't. It doesn't sit right with
Speaker 1: me anyway, And I'm a dog. Support just doesn't sit
Speaker 1: right with So I don't. I don't know anyway. But
Speaker 1: you know what, he's there now, and let's see how
Speaker 1: things unfold. I'm going to say it before anything happens.
Speaker 1: I think it's his first big mistake. Yeah, I believe
Speaker 1: first big mistake. I think it's his first, not second.
Speaker 1: Ivan clear and bring any at the since the rebuild anyway,
Speaker 1: what he's done, Well, again, that's therefore to see as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's therefore. And we've already the book. We've already in
Speaker 1: the book. Well, everyone makes mistakes, mate, So this might
Speaker 1: be one. You don't know.
Speaker 2: It could be a master stroke, or it could be
Speaker 2: a mistake. Time will tell, Who knows, time will tell?
Speaker 2: All right, anything else you want to get off your chest? George,
Speaker 2: am I going to see you tomorrow kicking stones again?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that it's a lot of
Speaker 1: things a lot of random stuff. You are you asked,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think I'm tapped. I'll wait tapped.
Speaker 1: I think I'll wait to Tuesday. N Yeah, we'll wait
Speaker 1: for the to come on to talk and to talk
Speaker 1: or Origin and I haven't gone. We haven't think, No,
Speaker 1: we didn't for them for sure. Origin and the Rugby
Speaker 1: League tea. You know what, tea, there's always the second
Speaker 1: game and there's no way in the world they can
Speaker 1: play that bad again. So I really believe when has
Speaker 1: it ever been too nil or three? Was it recently? No?
Speaker 1: We always going to decider. Yeah, we always going to decide.
Speaker 1: I can't. And you know what if it has been
Speaker 1: too nil, it's Queensland doing it twice. Yeah, because last
Speaker 1: year went to three. Remember where that's sensational. Third game?
Speaker 2: I think it was fits last year when it went
Speaker 2: to to nel and then that's where it got sacked. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he lost, lost and then they won the last one.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know something like that. So I don't
Speaker 2: believe for one minute that it's going to go to
Speaker 2: Sydney too, Neil, don't. I don't think. So you don't
Speaker 2: change the team or you have to do. They didn't
Speaker 2: play well, so you just just stick with the same
Speaker 2: kids and and and preparing them better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in depth on Tuesday, Tuesday Off,
Speaker 2: as well as talk about the wonderful Saint George win
Speaker 2: on the week.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Thank you was sort of a game. No worries, George.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we'll be able to run this one,
Speaker 1: this show for we mate to get it off your chest.
Speaker 1: So call it quits, call it quits. Work well, everybody
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. So everybody on Tuesday. And I hope you
Speaker 1: enjoyed the show. H
