WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to off the bench. Everybody.

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.960
<v Speaker 2>We've done a ad hoc one at the moment. This morning,

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.919
<v Speaker 2>I saw George kicking some stones, grumbling, and I'm thinking,

4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>what happened? What's happening here, George? He sounded like he

5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of things on his mind. Though it

6
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>might not only get you lost again, sorry to get lost,

7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 2>but we thought, you know, let's doing off the bench

8
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>so we can get everything off his chest, because it's

9
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>definitely rugby le related.

10
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's George, George, welcome to off the bench.

11
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Hell has things good? Mate? It's behind a microphone. I

12
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>was sick the last two times, so it's strange. I

13
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was kicking stones in your garden because I just didn't

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. He's just walking around. Animalyss.

15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 2>You look lost, mate, you look agitated, you look lost,

16
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>you look you look frustrated. I wanted to see off

17
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the bench and I was trying and to relieve some

18
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>of that stress. Let everyone know what was going wrong.

19
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 2>It's rugby related. I feel it home now I'm behind

20
00:00:58.119 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the mic again.

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 1>That's it. I love it. I love it, I love it.

22
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>I want to Actually the truth was that our wives

23
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>went shopping and they suck us in front of the television.

24
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>They gave us a paddle to shut up, and and

25
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I was kicking stones during during the day and night

26
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>is uh his backyard. So he suggested we're talking. So

27
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he goes, well, you know what all that thought, and

28
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>he happened his laptop and here we are. Yeah, yeah,

29
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>we go, if we go, if we go, if we go.

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk some good news maybe. So the origin,

31
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>we had the origin go on for the women's game.

32
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>We went to talk men's origin. That's for the b

33
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Tanua and Nick to join us for.

34
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>The main week, the main crew, the main crew.

35
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>But we've got the women's origin that finished last week.

36
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I know you want to talk a little bit about that.

37
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 2>To under the Blues game one thirty two twelve went

38
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to the Blues game two twenty six to six. So

39
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>wrapped up after game two and then they had a

40
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>final game which Coinsland managed to win to make it

41
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 2>a two to one series to the Blue. Any thoughts

42
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>on that, mate?

43
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Tell us? You know what, I watched the second game

44
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>if you remember, it was at the s CG sorry

45
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the SFS and it was really raining. It was really,

46
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 1>really really Now I didn't take my notes, so maybe

47
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you can remember. We we built a stadium, uh, a

48
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>beautiful big stadium, you know, not only for the roosters,

49
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. You know what. We decided not to put

50
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a roof on. That's okay, that's okay, not a problem.

51
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't put a roof on. But you know what I

52
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>expect if you're you're if you're spending eight hundred million dollars,

53
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 1>you know the ground you think it would rain? Yeah, sure,

54
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>you think you'd You know when you go and watch

55
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>kids football down there at Bosley Park or actually in

56
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>our old stomping ground there at pad Start. Yeah, okay,

57
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 1>is the rain? Yeah? I get a part of here

58
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>or there, but nothing like the SFCG or the SF.

59
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. We spent eight hundred million dollars. Think about, Hey,

60
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>we get the roof. We should have had a roof

61
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>where probably the only country in the world whose sports

62
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>crazy without a stadium without a roof. But let's let's

63
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>let's put okay, we want sun. We we love our son.

64
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, it doesn't rain ever in city, doesn't never

65
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>know make a drain. We go to Vegas, right and

66
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the ground and the ground apparently goes out, slides out

67
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the sun and it comes back in because it's got

68
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 1>a roof and there's the sun. But in this country,

69
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>we can't get the ground when we have some showers

70
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>or thunderstorms or heavy rain for at the drain. It's crazy,

71
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. And you know what, I bet your colgra

72
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>if it rains, I bet your drains. It's it's crazy.

73
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>It's for the last country to get anything, you know.

74
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>You know sometimes you know that there's families where everyone's

75
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>got a video player and no one gets into right

76
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>then it's like all the countries are getting all these

77
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>stadiums with roofs on it, but we're still waiting until

78
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're the last ones to finally get a stadium.

79
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>With a roof on it. Of course, it's crazy, you know.

80
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought they did have a roof that

81
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that didn't They didn't ever didn't never. You know what

82
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the issue is this that we say, oh, the government

83
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>or the stadium, it's our money. It's our taxes. You

84
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>know that thirty percent or thirty five percent you pay,

85
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>or or the gis so you pay, or every time

86
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you sell a property the capital gains. It's our money.

87
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Are they it's our money that, make no mistake, the

88
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 1>money that they flash around. And you know they want

89
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Brownie points, not theirs. It's not theirs but the But

90
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>besides that, you know, it'll be nice to have a

91
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>stay in the you know drains. True, absolutely, it'll be

92
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>nice the poor girls and roosterless. Yeah, they did it

93
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 1>in third or conditions basically, well, if you think about it,

94
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, it's remember when the eighties

95
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>and when when they used to play used to be martely.

96
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>You know that Paramatta team. I remember a lot of Canary,

97
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>big Canary games. They were playing the mud Paramotter stating

98
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>was was was a mardy you know, I mean no

99
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>grass at all. Well, not too far away from that,

100
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>too far away on the origin, all the origins. I

101
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 1>used to watch the w because I thought it was

102
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>like fresh start, a clean game, you know, no wrestling.

103
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I guess what's happened. Unfortunately, the bad habits are creeping in.

104
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>All the bad habits are creeping in. They're all creeping in.

105
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>And there's even worse for first of all, starting to

106
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>wrestle and and I can wear that because it's part

107
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Unfortunately, what the girls are doing now.

108
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>They're lying down, they're looking for penalties. They're holding the

109
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>back of their necks like like all their men, or

110
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're looking at the referees trying to milk

111
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 1>milk a penalty. I don't I don't blame the girls,

112
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>nor do I blame the guys. I blame NRL. Yeah,

113
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I blame it's you know, they they manufactured this situation.

114
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, once upon a time, we used to laugh

115
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>about it. I used to laugh about soccer. I had

116
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 1>this thing about watching soccer, and I used to see

117
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody get clipped. If get clipped and they're rolling around

118
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>like ten times, you know what I mean, and he's

119
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 1>looking at the referee and he's putting his hands up,

120
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>or he looks like he's you know, the ambulance come

121
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>out and look at it. Look, you know, I have

122
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a think the guy just bumped into it. Nothing happened.

123
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I used to laugh at that. I can't laugh at

124
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>that anymore. Honestly, I feel embarrassed. There is a way

125
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 1>to stop that.

126
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 2>As soon as they hold the neck and they get

127
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the penalty, then that player should just come off, or

128
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 2>at least they did that in soccer now they make

129
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>him come off really and then they bring it back

130
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>on shortly afterwards, so at least that when there's a stop,

131
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>eachain player they bring it back on. So if they

132
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>want to hold their neck, they've got to be prepared

133
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 2>to come off the field as well immediately. And that's

134
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the only way they're going to stop it.

135
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I love will they do it, We'll see. It's an

136
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>aural you know.

137
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>You know what I understand. I understand what they're trying

138
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>to do. Yeah, they're trying to win a penalty for

139
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>their team, any advantage. I'm talking about. Nurla and all

140
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>are trying to protect players, and with that, they're trying

141
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to protect themselves because in ten years, when there's going

142
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 1>to be a class action, someone's going to get hurt.

143
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Someone they're going to they're going to say that, you

144
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 1>know what, we've done everything everything we can to protect you.

145
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>That's good and well. But along the way, what they're

146
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>actually doing is changing the fabric of the game. Money. Yeah,

147
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>now has the game changed since the early days, of

148
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>course it okay, But there's some things which is a

149
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 1>foundation of this game, and that's toughness, hardness, hard running,

150
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 1>hard tackling. That's made us fall in love of the game.

151
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>That's fall in love of the game. It's an emotional game. See,

152
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 1>this is what people don't understand. We watch rugby league

153
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 1>because we want to steer emotions in our body. And

154
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what they that's what rugby league players well, that's

155
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 1>their well it's not their job, but effectively that's what

156
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they do. But what they're what NRL is doing is

157
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 1>taking that away, which is changing the fabric of the game.

158
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 1>So if it looks if it looks dangerous, we must

159
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>be a yeah, he must it must be dangerous if

160
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 1>it looks like it's a hard tackle and his rock back,

161
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 1>his head went back and whiplashed. Whatever, Well, it's it's

162
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 1>got to be it's got to be dangerous. That will

163
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>penalize and we give him ten minutes. That's right, they will.

164
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's crazy. It's like the origin, which I

165
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 1>don't want to go into, but the bomb and uh

166
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 1>taha when he got sent off for ten minutes, what's

167
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you supposed to do? You jumped up for the ball? Yeah,

168
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the guy, The guy's much a foot and a half

169
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 1>taller than him. I forget the winger now he's a

170
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>foot and a half tall in him and he had momentum. Yeah,

171
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>well yeah he grabbed onto him. Oh yeah, you know,

172
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>sending for ten minutes. It's crazy. But what I'm trying

173
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to get to so before you go on, is slowly

174
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>but surely they're changing the game. They're changing the fabric

175
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>of the game. So in ten years, what are we

176
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be playing tag? I'm not I don't know

177
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>where they wanted to take it.

178
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the thing is, George, when you were playing rugby league,

179
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 2>every player knows there is a risk involved, whether they

180
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>could get injured. Like, it's not a sport where it's

181
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 2>impossible never to get injured. You're signing up for something

182
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 2>to play dangerous. Okay, that's very physical. So there's got

183
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 2>to be waivers in there somewhere to say no litigation

184
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>issues if there is a tackle that's gone wrong or something,

185
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>so you know what I mean. They should be able

186
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to cover themselves that way.

187
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Please. But yeah, it's just great.

188
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>It's not boxing, Like are you saying Box was going

189
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 2>to go into a fight and thinking he's not going

190
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to get hurt, Like, of course he's going to get

191
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>hurt because he's going to get punched. Well, rugby, they're

192
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 2>going to get tackled, so you're signed up for it.

193
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>You're getting paid good dollars for it. Honestly, when you

194
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>think about it, some guys are getting paid great dollars,

195
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>very good. You know, it's you can't. I don't know,

196
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 2>it's just becoming a joke. I think, like you said,

197
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>some players are falling and the guys have to the

198
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>anneral expects of guys to adjust his arm within that

199
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>split second, not to get him high. Like it's some

200
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 2>of them are just pure accidents, and you're going to

201
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>start looking at that, you.

202
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Know, ones like when players are falling, yes, okay, and

203
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you're forum clips there. I don't know, maybe they're their

204
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>head clips their head. But where his head was was

205
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 1>close to your knees exactly. So he's falling and you've

206
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of put your hand out and you touch him

207
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's a high.

208
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Tackle, and that's the bunker's fault, sorry, because the bunker

209
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 2>needs to see where the player's arm was before the

210
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>guy was falling and where it is when he hits him,

211
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 2>and if he sees that, he's adjusted it to hit

212
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the guy in the head intentionally then you know straight away.

213
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 2>But if you see the guy's arm hasn't changed motion

214
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and the guy's head's fallen like how many centimeters and

215
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>got him, then then it's clearly an accident and no

216
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>action should be.

217
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 1>It drives me crazy and as a rugby lely tragic

218
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>like myself, I just I just think, I just think,

219
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>where's this game going to be in ten years? Where

220
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is it going? Like? It's sometimes it's hard to watch now.

221
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's hard to watch now. Seriously, it's not the

222
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>game that I know. And and Nick goes on about

223
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the toughness and and don't get me wrong, I don't

224
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>think you know, throwing punches is you know, to be tough,

225
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but we want it to be a little bit more

226
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>visual and emotional. It's physical, it's physical, but there's things

227
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that've taken away which takes that that emational part away

228
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>from it, you know what I mean. I could be wrong.

229
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Maybe kids now growing up and expecting it, but I can't.

230
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't buy it now.

231
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Last weekend I said the Warriors New Camber game would

232
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>have been one of the best games for you. Yeah,

233
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>now that's the typic game that you like because of

234
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the physic physicality, and Ricky stewartt came out after it

235
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and said something to the words of they're trying to

236
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 2>take the physicality out of it because with all these

237
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>fouls and stuff like he wasn't happy about that. You

238
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, you have to expect this, Like

239
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to defend the game how it is

240
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>and they can't change it. So that's what you want

241
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 2>to You want to see games like that bad against Camber.

242
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>That was just a brutal game that that that game

243
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 1>threw me back to the eighties. One team trying to

244
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>drag the other team in the into the gutter, and

245
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the other team bought it and they went into the

246
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>gutter and they just stayed into the gutter and they

247
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 1>forgot about the rugular league game and they'll throw rocks

248
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>at each other. But what it actually does as as

249
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 1>a spectator on at the ground or behind your television,

250
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it affects you emotionally. And that's what rugby league is about.

251
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what you're telling me. It doesn't worry me.

252
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Why why does origin work? Because it's emotional. We want

253
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>something more than you know, I mean to win more

254
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 1>than the other team. But you're taking that emotion away

255
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>when when when you're when you're saying or what they're saying, Well,

256
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to portray the game as so. But that

257
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>game was that was a pretty good That was a

258
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty special special game. That one I couldn't I couldn't

259
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>believe it I was watching it. Actually, Yeah, that was

260
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>so good.

261
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Just just quickly back to the girls origin who stood

262
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>out for you in that series? Which any particular girls

263
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that you like.

264
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>The third, the third or three out of all three?

265
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 1>You know when your South I was, We're far dominant

266
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>in all the two games and parts of the three games.

267
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 1>They probably weren't as prepared in the third one as

268
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 1>as Queensland and Queensland done. Queensland what Queensland does. There's

269
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 1>a little fullback Abby Church. She I think she got

270
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 1>pretty close to Man of the Match in the first game.

271
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>She's she's this little girl with lots of heart and

272
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>lots of pace and she just rocks. She's dangerous as

273
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I come went to see her for Paramatta of course,

274
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the Deli and winner of last year Kernigan. She's so good,

275
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 1>she's so good, she got I think she got Mad

276
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 1>of the match the first game, maybe maybe the second

277
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>game as well, you know what, as as as as

278
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>they changed the position she I think she plays in

279
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the second round. I think they put a lot on

280
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the edge. It's really funny. She's the best second round

281
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 1>in the game. She's the best edge runner in the

282
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>game as well. She rock. Look, Queensland won the second

283
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the third game, which made it respectable to one, and

284
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 1>they've got something to build on. But I think they

285
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 1>might have a little bit of work to be done

286
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>for next year because your so I was with their

287
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 1>power power running and their power play were far better.

288
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 1>And the third one for a second, well, Kelly Isabelle Kelly.

289
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>She scored a try. She she she went over, but

290
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>she didn't ground the ball. Her arm grounded the ball. Yeah,

291
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't, don't start me. Oh wow. So imagine she

292
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 1>scored the Troy she went over, she she she her

293
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>arm ground the ball. She got up. You know, the

294
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.279
<v Speaker 1>try was awarded. The review went on and go to

295
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the board, in't touch the ground and go what when

296
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>was that? I think? Wow, So if that try was allowed,

297
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you I was would have won. But you know what, uh, Queenslander,

298
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Queenslanders have got this. I'm not sure if she's a

299
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:11.559
<v Speaker 1>young girl, but definitely a young woman there. Uh, what's

300
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 1>her name again? Forget now? She's a front roller. I

301
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>think she's her backgrounds Italian. I just got a blank.

302
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>She's she's a machine, you know, the hit man. She's

303
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>she's the hit woman. She's from which team? She's a Bronco.

304
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 1>She started, she didn't play the first game. In the

305
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 1>second game, I think she came off. She was in

306
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the background. She she's a front roller. Yeah, she's probably

307
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 1>on the I've got Mackenzie will Destiny, Real, Jessica Elliston,

308
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Sienna Lafito. Who's on the bench, Chelsea, Then that's the one.

309
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.799
<v Speaker 1>She's a lock. She's a lock. Yeah, okay, okay, well

310
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever she is. She's a wrecking mission. She's a sam

311
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Burger's sam burg She came on, really, she came on

312
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 1>for for ten to fifteen minutes. Absolutely crushed the middle.

313
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 1>She had the rest. She came on, absolutely crushed the middle.

314
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>She scored the winning try. She rocks at I'm trying

315
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.559
<v Speaker 1>to see where she plays, who she plays for. She's

316
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a broncast Water, she's a place. She plays for the Broncos.

317
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Grew up, grew up South Coast. I believe anyway, she's

318
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.319
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos Broncos player. What about the officiating in the game,

319
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was my favorite. Okay, I'm going to

320
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 1>say it. I've said it before on the main program.

321
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say it again. Belinda Sharp is not

322
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>up to reffin. I'm not going to start baking the league.

323
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.400
<v Speaker 1>She's not up to refin Origin games and she definitely

324
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>one hundred not up for refin NRL. Now, if NRL

325
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>wants to feel that like they're doing the right thing

326
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're inclusive, good and wellastic, but what happened to

327
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the best person for the job? I can guarantee you Ardie,

328
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 1>blind the Sharp is not the best person for the job.

329
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to talk about her other mate. What's

330
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>her name? What's the other casey Badger? She she struggles

331
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.039
<v Speaker 1>in the box. She really struggles in the box. And

332
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>when I see her on the sideline with the flag,

333
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>as Nick says, fansy flag, I get chills up my bag.

334
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 1>She's she doesn't ref games anymore because she's not up

335
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 1>to it. But blind Blinda Clark is it? Blind Blind

336
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the Sharp? I don't know why they persist I don't

337
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>know what every time she does an n Oro game, Okay,

338
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I fear she know. She's had eight challenges and six

339
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 1>were six were against her against her, So that's pretty damning.

340
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty damning. And you can call me sexist. I

341
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.079
<v Speaker 1>don't care what people want to call me. But it's

342
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>therefore to see you go and have a look at

343
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the go and look at her game. And if you

344
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>think that she's reffing out a high clip, high standard name,

345
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong. I'm wrong, but I can guarantee you I'm

346
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not wrong. She's just not up to it. She's not

347
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:11.880
<v Speaker 1>up to it. Can we talk about ratings?

348
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Can we talk about the Yeah, well look that's my

349
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.920
<v Speaker 2>next point. Actually, look, Origin got four point ratings. Yeah yeah,

350
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Origin got four point nine million viewers for the men's

351
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 2>one and for the women's we've got over just over

352
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 2>a million, which is the highest viewed game behind the

353
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 2>first Origin game. Is but what's your what's your thoughts

354
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 2>about the standard of of of the rugby league that

355
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.519
<v Speaker 2>we're watching and the actual the channel line coverage.

356
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go, let's go first. The let's go first.

357
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>The ratings look was expected in the Origin game Yeah,

358
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it will be the highest watched television show because that's

359
00:19:53.480 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 1>what Channel nine looks at masyas. I don't know the

360
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>boot maps, so it's the it's the highest rating television

361
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 1>show of the year. And and when you look at

362
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>all the three games, they will be the highest rating games.

363
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I find it amazing that NRL W can get a

364
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 1>million viewers per game. I find that amazing. And it's time. Now,

365
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 1>it's time, as I as I got that T shirt.

366
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>If you remember, I have to pay the girls. Yeah,

367
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it's time to pay the girls. And let let me

368
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 1>let me, let me. Let me tell you. A young

369
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>NRL player goes to training, goes home and goes in

370
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 1>from behind. Ay and and and and I'm Sarah. I've

371
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 1>been a stereotypical person. Now I'm talking about the youngsters.

372
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 1>They go, they came from the television and pull out

373
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 1>there their control for the for the PlayStation. Eight out

374
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 1>of ten, yeah, eight out of ten. Some are fathers,

375
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, some are some husband but in

376
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 1>general they really haven't got too much too much doing

377
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.920
<v Speaker 1>after training. That's their job now, girls, because they don't

378
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>get paid, they have to go to work. They train

379
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>after work. Okay, half of them are married with children,

380
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>so they've got house choices to do as well. But

381
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 1>they're expected to give us on the weekend a high

382
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:31.519
<v Speaker 1>standard rugby league performance. It's entertaining, it's entertaining. Yeah, yeah, okay,

383
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Well I suggest that the results are in the game

384
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 1>is getting better as we speak. They say that rugby

385

<v Speaker 1>league is growing crazy. Well, guess what. Take the women's

386

<v Speaker 1>numbers out of it. We'll see how much rugby league's growing.

387
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.599
<v Speaker 1>They say, rgule leg's growing. Yeah, that's what Verlandis tells us.

388
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>The feather says that the game is growing. Where we're

389
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 1>doing this, we're doing that. Take the women's numbers out,

390
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll see how much it's growing. It's time to play

391
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the girls. Time to make him a fully professional Okay,

392

394
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how that's going to work. I don't

395
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>know how youre gonna play rougy league in summer. But

402
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 1>be Channel nine, be It, Fox, Bead, Amazon, Optus, whoever.

<v Speaker 1>And he's got he's got Men's Origin, Women's Origin, the

404
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 1>semifinal series and the proper comp of both of them

405
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 1>split split up. Imagine how much he can he can earn.

406
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Because that's what that's what everybody talks about. Money, money, money, money.

407
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard anything the land talks money. Every club

408
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>says about money. You know what I mean, money, money, money. Well,

409
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 1>if you want money, Pete, Look, I got no idea

410
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>about your job. You're doing a great job, apparently, you

411
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I can see it on the field,

412
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:18.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, if they touch your head. Yeah, anyway, Well

413
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 1>there you go, pet How about that? But it's okay,

414
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 1>we spend how many million to go to Vegas, which

415
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>nothing's going to come from. Yeah, exactly, fifteen twenty million

416
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to go to Vegas, which again, it's great, it's fantastic.

417
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big supporter. It's a great way to start

418
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the competition. But let's get real to think that we're

419
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>making inroads into America. We are. You know, it's very fantasy.

420
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>We're fools if we believe that that's not happening. That's

421
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>not happening. That's my opinion. I don't know. I could

422
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. Please if you think it's different, enlightened me.

423
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.319
<v Speaker 1>What was the next question? The coverage.

424
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Of of Channel line mate, I'm a Fox watcher. Yeah,

425
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I love the commentary better on Fox. I can't listen

426
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to any any broadcast that as a general manager of

427
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:15.359
<v Speaker 2>a club, part of part of Yeah, to show there's

428
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>something wrong going on there.

429
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, we'll talk about that in the minute. But

430
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 1>coverage specifically about the Origin because I don't watch it.

431
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't watch it during the year, like in around ten,

432
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, normal rugby league, so I wouldn't know what

433
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 1>it's what it's like. Sometimes we got a dad's home

434
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and then he's got he's got it on the background,

435
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 1>but we don't have the coverage, like we don't have

436
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the sound on. We watched it, We watch it and

437
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 1>we talk probably better. Yeah, Look, they pay Channel nine

438
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>pay a lot of money basically to have have Origin.

439
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean not that he doesn't rate the Sunday games

440
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in the front right, but at the end of the day,

441
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>they give all that money for origin. That's what is

442
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 1>the big money spinner, mate, They can do a bit

443
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 1>better than the commentary they've got. It's appalling, it's it's

444
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's disgraceful. And I watch a lot of

445
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 1>American sports, and if you want to see how commentary

446
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>should be done or how courage should be held, have

447
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 1>a look at some basketball games. I don't watch NFL,

448
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 1>so I can't tell you there even even the hockey

449
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>that's going on. Now, have a look look how they

450
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>run their broadcast. And you told me that channel are

451
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.279
<v Speaker 1>doing a good job, because when when you got when

452
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you got h uh uh, what's which one? All the

453
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 1>commentators there to get good for a second? But John's

454
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>all of them Fidler, John Karon Smith Smith first. Then

455
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean exceptional places one thing, Yeah, exceptional play most

456
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of them what most of what we mentioned that mas

457
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of them will be immortals. But I don't mind being biased,

458
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 1>but they've taken bias to this, Yeah that's this, to this,

459
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to this world of non coming back. Uh, it's it's disgraceful.

460
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It's really difficult. I turned I turned the volume down

461
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 1>when I was watching Origin. I turned it down. I

462
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>turned it down like jazz here a muffle so I

463
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.960
<v Speaker 1>can just hit like like you know, crowd, crowd noise

464
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.559
<v Speaker 1>more than them because it was hard to listen. And

465
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what, especially like your Darren, you're you're you,

466
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 1>you were an exceptional rugby league player. You were I

467
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>really enjoyed watching you play. But my friend, when it

468
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 1>comes to when it comes to analyzing rugby league games,

469
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 1>guess what, my my my son, who despises all sports,

470
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>knows that one plus one is to do you understand

471
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. He understands what one plus one is two. Okay,

472
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 1>if you, especially Origin, if you want to give us

473
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:15.039
<v Speaker 1>some if you want to talk and analytical or something

474
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 1>that will inform us or interest us or excite me

475
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>instead of just saying very simple basic things where and

476
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I said the same thing, which is my wife, who

477
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.759
<v Speaker 1>another one hates sport and hates rugby league. She said

478
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it a couple of minutes before he said it. It

479
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>must be pretty pretty, pretty high brow made. It must

480
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>be you know, real, you know, real real stuff. And

481
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what Cameron Smith and all of them, which

482
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I know they know the game. They keep right away

483
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 1>from anything of an lytical and they stick to promoting

484
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>their their marines, which is I don't know, is if

485
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that's the if that's the way, If that's the way

486
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.599
<v Speaker 1>broadcasting its supposed to be. Well again I'm wrong. So

487
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to hear the more, be more analytical, breaking

488
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>down games and stuff like that. A little little bit

489
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it. A little bit from Fitler here,

490
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 1>a bit of that. Sometimes. Yeah, he'll say this, Brad Brad. Okay,

491
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind, Brad, Brad might be a little bit

492
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>better than the others and he's not.

493
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually, maybe they're they're not allowed to. Maybe they don't

494
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.640
<v Speaker 2>want them to be they find it boring. Maybe they're broadcasters,

495
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.079
<v Speaker 2>so we don't want you doing too analytically.

496
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Just be fun. Do do you think that's what it is?

497
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Maybe maybe because they're pretty smart guys.

498
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right. So I just sort of maybe being

499
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>whole back and I just said that these guys are moortal.

500
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly, I don't.

501
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't I bow to these people, but I want

502
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to be uber before I said, either I want to

503
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.839
<v Speaker 1>be entertained, I want to learn something or listen to

504
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>them I'm either Yeah, I'm not entertained, nor do I

505
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 1>learn anything, so I don't know. I'm sure there's a

506
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of people like me. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that

507
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people understand rugby league and they treat

508
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 1>us like we're fools. We don't know rugby league, we

509
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 1>don't understand it. Yeah, and that's what irks me a

510
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But again, I might be on the wrong track.

511
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.759
<v Speaker 1>They do it. They get the ratings like five. I mean,

512
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>people watching, So I'm wrong, They're right. I'm wrong, They're

513
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 1>right exactly all right. Now, there's a couple of big

514
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>issues now that I want to bring up. We left

515
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 1>them to last. A big one.

516
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the Let's start with the lighter one.

517
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 2>What's happening with the Broncos?

518
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Mate? What's happening with the Broncos now? Is the question.

519
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>They're currently playing manly at the moment, so they could

520
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 2>be winning. Don't look at the phone. So they could

521
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.519
<v Speaker 2>be winning for all I know. But what we've seen

522
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.880
<v Speaker 2>in the last how many weeks, that's just not the Broncos.

523
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Apart from that thirty points half against the Dogs, they

524
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 2>haven't been that impressive. What's happening.

525
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So I get asked, I get I get asked this

526
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot, like I know, I don't know, I don't know,

527
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 1>but this is this is this is what I think

528
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:16.599
<v Speaker 1>I know because their roster, with their roster, they should

529
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 1>be at the moment top four and and starting starting

530
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to build for a premiership push with their roster. In

531
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>my in my view, when when I look at that roster,

532
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.599
<v Speaker 1>it scares me. When I see them playing, I get

533
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 1>a giggle. I get a giggle. It goes, it goes back,

534
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it goes back for a while. Let me paint a picture.

535
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Let me paint a picture, because rugby league is not

536
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 1>only how good your list is or how good individual

537
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>player is, which plays a big part, but there's another

538
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>part of it. And can it be showing that because

539
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I told you about when I was watching them play,

540
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 1>was a camp, was a camera, yes against camera, and

541
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 1>somebody camera made made a sixty meter break crimeon called

542
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>just a meter off the line and I just glanced

543
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>at the back and the line was set, The line

544
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 1>was set, ready to move up. This is after a

545
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>big break. Yeah, and they didn't score out from that set. Wow. Yeah, Okay,

546
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 1>so that means they're all working hard and when you

547
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 1>look at the canterbi list, you can't compare it to

548
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 1>the broncosly. So let's let let let's let's let's go

549
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>back to to Colbo. Colbo went on on on air

550
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 1>and said something about his coach and there was no recompressions,

551
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>reconcussions from that. I think the only guy who got

552
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:55.319
<v Speaker 1>it was the coach. He departed. He departed that year.

553
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Then we had an incident with his man. Now, I

554
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>don't blame Isra Man for anything. Is Man did what

555
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 1>he did. I don't lock what he did, but he

556
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:12.240
<v Speaker 1>paid his due whatever punishment he got. But this is

557
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the thing now. Now, now the the police and the

558
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 1>courts have set a have set a bar. If you

559
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 1>do that, this is what you get. The Broncos or sorry,

560
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the NRL, which they had a big opportunity to to

561
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>make a statement, they said a bar. They said a bar. Okay.

562
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Then the Broncos club straight away when they could they

563
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>got him in. They said a bar. So they told

564
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the plane group that if you're a good player, it's okay.

565
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you do, it's like you get, it's ok as

566
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 1>long as you're a good player. As long as you're

567
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a good player. Doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter.

568
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what happens. Okay. Then we then we

569
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:05.079
<v Speaker 1>had the incident with the power liking a post like

570
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 1>in a post, and I saw the post, I went

571
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>back to have a look at the past, thinking it

572
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:12.799
<v Speaker 1>was it's going to be a really bad post. No,

573
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was a baud. He apologized straight

574
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>away after it anyway, but you know, any unliked it.

575
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Whatever it was. Okay, Well he got sacked, and that's

576
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.559
<v Speaker 1>fair enough. You don't want him, you don't need him,

577
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to play him. He's a strain on

578
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the on the on the budget. We get rid of

579
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 1>him again. I've got no issue with all these things.

580
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>But what you're actually doing is subconsciously you're putting ideas

581
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and thoughts in young man's minds. That's what you're doing. Okay.

582
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Then lately we're had Reese okay again and nothing incident, nothing,

583
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what, every twenty two year old boy does

584
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 1>that and more. The bad thing is he posted it. Hey,

585
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>for me, it's a nothing. But guess what did did

586
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>he get a talking to? That? That's all we got?

587
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Bit of a bit of a talk. Yeahs on the risk. Okay,

588
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So once again they've set a standard. Now, I said

589
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 1>to you at the end of last year, if Madge

590
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>can put character into this team in one off season,

591
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:18.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll be a monkey's uncle. I'll be a monkey's uncle.

592
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Well he hasn't obviously, he hasn't obviously. Now will they

593
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>make the eight? They probably won't make the eight, But

594
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you now, when there's a blow torch underneath

595
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:36.320
<v Speaker 1>their belly, we see what's happened. I don't have told you.

596
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making things up. We've seen it this year.

597
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Last year we saw in the Grand Final, in the

598
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Grand Final that they lost when the blooe torch was there,

599
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:54.199
<v Speaker 1>gone gone. Okay. So if they keep on, if if

600
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos club, if Magic keeps on accepting media okery,

601
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:03.400
<v Speaker 1>media mediocrity, mediocrity, mediocrity, well that's what's going to happen.

602
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't stand up and do something like what

603
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Gusta done and and get rid of twelve to bring

604
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.320
<v Speaker 1>in twelve. Now, don't expect them to bring in twelve,

605
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's got to. He's got to create an atmosphere

606
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tension. They've got to be a little

607
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.280
<v Speaker 1>bit scared of him as well. They've got to they've

608
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.679
<v Speaker 1>got to want something hard. They don't want anything. They

609
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>don't want it because from from when I was thirteen fourteen,

610
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>they get put into a broncho system. They smash every

611
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 1>team in front of them. They're they're great, they're fantastic,

612
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>they're gods, they're gods. They get into the first grade

613
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 1>at at Aileen nineteen into a good into a good team.

614
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.039
<v Speaker 1>They're gods. Where where do they Where do they work hard?

615
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.239
<v Speaker 1>When do they work hard? When? When? When do they

616
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.039
<v Speaker 1>have time to to create character for them? And character

617
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:01.679
<v Speaker 1>and it comes from hard work and people can say

618
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>anything they want. It's therefore to see I'm not making

619
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.599
<v Speaker 1>this up. It's in front of us what I saw

620
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:09.599
<v Speaker 1>just before, it's in front of us tonight as well,

621
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:14.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So, so it's a problem

622
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 1>that they created. Now have they got? Can magic get

623
00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:20.480
<v Speaker 1>them out this year? Yes?

624
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully it's a long season, mate, DM. Look there are

625
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 2>only two points or whatever this I think they are

626
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth, so it's very tight. It can easily

627
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.519
<v Speaker 2>turn around. What surprises me is after we saw that

628
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 2>game against the Bulldogs. They put thirty points on the

629
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>team competition leaders. Yes, and since that game they've lost

630
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.440
<v Speaker 2>three in a row. So they've got it in them

631
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and you think they're going to kick on from there,

632
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 2>but it's gone backwards since that game.

633
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 1>They've got work. I saw forty minutes of perfection.

634
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It was, it was perfection, and then after that we've

635
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 2>seen eighty minutes since of shit.

636
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, when when they lost against every time, when they

637
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 1>lost against George, I did I did say to a

638
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 1>friend that, well, they lost against a half pairing of

639
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Flannagan and Kingtonga with three NRL games and a guy

640
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:10.519
<v Speaker 1>who's not a first grader. So they lost against that team. Yeah,

641
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.360
<v Speaker 1>So if you think that they they played well, if

642
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>they played against a Storm or a good team, they

643
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 1>would have could have put a thirty forty on them.

644
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That's my pin.

645
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's disappointing. As a Broncos fan. You just be

646
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 2>scratching your head, going what's happening.

647
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 1>It's just you know, like I say we need a

648
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 1>strong New Zealand team. I say we need a strong

649
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Paramount team and a strong Canadaby team, and I'll throw

650
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll throw West in as well. The Sydney. Okay, for

651
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the crowds to come in, you need s George strong

652
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's when you get the flocks. That's when

653
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you get them. We need all these teams to be

654
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.679
<v Speaker 1>in the hunt and which they are so and the

655
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Broncos you need them in there. You need the strong

656
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Broncast team. But we could, we could. We can talk

657
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>about the Dolphins and they're doing okay, they're right, you

658
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>know North Queensland again, they're all right, they're not bad.

659
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Gold Case have got some issues. Gold Golcos forget it.

660
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know does he can't even fix that? He

661
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of it's a cultural thing. It's a cultural thing.

662
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, when DESI goes up and can't

663
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:11.679
<v Speaker 1>sort that out, it goes really deep. I don't know

664
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.840
<v Speaker 1>what you can do. Broncos are different. Broncos should be

665
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.239
<v Speaker 1>not only top four, they should be threatening. They should

666
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:21.519
<v Speaker 1>be we should be talking about them that they're in

667
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.079
<v Speaker 1>a window. That's my opinion. But again people think I

668
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:26.960
<v Speaker 1>don't like him, so I don't like them. I want

669
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 1>to see I'll make it very very very clear. I

670
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.880
<v Speaker 1>love watching good rugby league wherever it comes from. Don't care,

671
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:37.519
<v Speaker 1>do you.

672
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Think that part of the problem with the Broncos is

673
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.639
<v Speaker 2>since they got rid of Wayne Bennett. Becausehen Wayn. Bennett's

674
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.559
<v Speaker 2>at the team, they perform at their peak, they don't

675
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.400
<v Speaker 2>go that bad. But since Bennett left and they kicked

676
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:51.840
<v Speaker 2>him out, they didn't want to kick him out. They

677
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.360
<v Speaker 2>wanted Seaball. But since then they've had Sea Ball, they've

678
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 2>had Walters now and they've got McGuire like it's their

679
00:38:57.880 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 2>own doing because they got rid of a super coach

680
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker 2>could control these characters and probably do something about and

681
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>get better results.

682
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, but he wasn't good enough for him. Apparently they

683
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get rid of him. My question to you is,

684
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:15.079
<v Speaker 1>knowing WAYN Bennett's track record, if he had Broncos, this

685
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Broncos team right now, do you think they'll be top

686
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:23.079
<v Speaker 1>four pushing for a PREMI shure absolutely. So there you go.

687
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:26.599
<v Speaker 1>That's answers. Answer the question, yeah, answer the question. Yeah,

688
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 1>but it looks like that burnt that bridge. I don't

689
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 1>know whether you'd want to go back after what they

690
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.559
<v Speaker 1>did to him. It's pretty bad. Yeah, you won't go back,

691
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.599
<v Speaker 1>you know the other issue is that Madge. Madge is

692
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a really good coach for a rep team. I don't

693
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:44.719
<v Speaker 1>know how he's going to go. Who want to comp

694
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:48.000
<v Speaker 1>with Souse? Yeah, the Sam Burgers man. But still he's

695
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.320
<v Speaker 1>got he's got Carric and he's got hass Are.

696
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 2>He's saying he can't do the same with Broncos with

697
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:56.519
<v Speaker 2>paying hass that he did with Soaus with Burgess. Come on,

698
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.800
<v Speaker 2>hauss is the goat. He's the greatest all time. We're

699
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:02.920
<v Speaker 2>not going to see anyone better than He's not human.

700
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>He's not human. But I'm going to shock you now

701
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>if you ask me who would I prefer Samuel? Really

702
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:19.519
<v Speaker 1>just because of his attitude as he's a winner, so one.

703
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:25.320
<v Speaker 1>It's physically gifted, just physically. Pain is just out of

704
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 1>out of this world. It's just a natural. He doesn't hurt,

705
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't fatigue, he keeps on going, he punches the line.

706
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's just something special to watch, but with

707
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 1>no fuss, no aggression. Sam's a wrecking ball. Sam is

708
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.079
<v Speaker 1>sam was a wrecking ball. And you know what he

709
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 1>brings everybody with him. I'm not sure if Pain brings

710
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 1>people emotionally with him, an emotional human being. It does

711
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.280
<v Speaker 1>his job. Don't get me wrong. Remember what I said

712
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.840
<v Speaker 1>about origin. The shot was always after our hush run,

713
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.719
<v Speaker 1>That's when the shot was on. So yeah, look he's

714
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:16.119
<v Speaker 1>a he's a special human being. But look again, I'm

715
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:18.920
<v Speaker 1>expecting them to be the broadcast, to be top four,

716
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm expecting them by the end of the year

717
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to be to be pushing. Okay, I really, I really am.

718
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:26.559
<v Speaker 1>Look at the list and if they're not, if they

719
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:30.199
<v Speaker 1>don't make top eight, gee, so what would be the

720
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.719
<v Speaker 1>So you're going to have the management has to give

721
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the coach some complete leeway and he's he has to

722
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.199
<v Speaker 1>he has to cut or he can't cut twelve. Any

723
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 1>good can do that? Well, no, you can't cut twelve.

724
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He has to cut. Yes, hell you cut well number one.

725
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Reynolds goes, well, he's not signed anyway. Okay, Reynolds goes, uh.

726
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Ben Hunt will then go to seven. They've sign him

727
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:01.719
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of years. Think so he could play

728
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the role next year.

729
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll get rid of bed Hunter. Be if you asking anyway,

730
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you cut your think you know what? You know what

731
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>when you're a training you know who's who's a bit

732
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:16.199
<v Speaker 1>weak and not not not not weak? Or you start

733
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.719
<v Speaker 1>now and you do a serroudo when when they had

734
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 1>that trouble with that the Pine guy whatever his name was,

735
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:26.079
<v Speaker 1>who took him to court. How they found weakness in

736
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 1>all these players. You go down that road, you're absolutely

737
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 1>given to them and whoever. Because there's there's a word

738
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in the media in Brisbane there that they're not happy

739
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:42.360
<v Speaker 1>with him and he's training too hard. Let's find these

740
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:47.760
<v Speaker 1>people and second simple sacam, Yeah, that's how you start.

741
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:52.559
<v Speaker 1>So this so with this, make this fire. Okay. Someone

742
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:56.320
<v Speaker 1>is said that there's no doubt in the corean male.

743
00:42:56.800 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 1>They're saying that the training so Walters is too soft

744
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>and this guy's too hard. So what you do is

745
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 1>you find that one, that two, that three, that's three players.

746
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Wait do you see the way? Do you see the

747
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:13.119
<v Speaker 1>whole place? Change it? Yeah? Okay, we've we've we saw that.

748
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:16.119
<v Speaker 1>We saw that in front of us. Yeah, the Bulldogs

749
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.599
<v Speaker 1>three years ago. Every game Okay, so when we're losing

750
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 1>by forty, I was happy. Yeah, when we'll lose listen,

751
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>listen to me. When we're losing by forty, we're losing,

752
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>buye much more than forty. I was happy three years ago.

753
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Only Yeah, So if if, if Sirah can turn it

754
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:41.840
<v Speaker 1>around in three years. I'm sure magic can. All you

755
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:44.280
<v Speaker 1>do is be strong. Well, look at Webster. He went

756
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Warriors and they were a basket case. So

757
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:47.599
<v Speaker 1>we're just all over the place. And look what he's

758
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 1>done there there, all of a sudden become a great side.

759
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's perfect. He'd be the man him.

760
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Is what he's done is I think, more freaky than anyone,

761
00:43:57.320 --> 00:43:59.639
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, pretty good, which it's very good.

762
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Were so many injuries and he had to reform that

763
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:07.119
<v Speaker 1>whole team and restructure their their their patterns of play,

764
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.079
<v Speaker 1>and so the first year it was a very very

765
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.719
<v Speaker 1>very sort of pen sort of style. Now it's not anymore.

766
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I think what they should do is, I think

767
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Brisbane should demand pain house and Carrigan gets sacked and

768
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:24.599
<v Speaker 2>go to Saint George so they can learn from Yeah,

769
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:26.360
<v Speaker 2>make us fans happy.

770
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.239
<v Speaker 1>You're right, you're right, you're right, right, Maybe.

771
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Along it's nice pain, if you want nice pain, if

772
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you want on the beach, on the beach, it's beautiful,

773
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:40.920
<v Speaker 2>beautiful Carrigan as well with you, there's there's some carrig

774
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Is issues there.

775
00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Carrigan hasn't had a great Yeah he's and so that

776
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and and I'm a massive kind of carrigan. I don't

777
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.519
<v Speaker 1>know why. Maybe because he's put him in the middle,

778
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but he's and in the Origin arena.

779
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:57.840
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't as good as I expected him to be.

780
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, very quiet one for him. But anyway, that's

781
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:05.599
<v Speaker 1>that's og. This is the big one now, mate, this

782
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:07.800
<v Speaker 1>is the one that I think Tanya and Nick wanted

783
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:09.559
<v Speaker 1>to hear your thoughts for last week but you couldn't

784
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>make it.

785
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:13.639
<v Speaker 2>But let's hear it now. Galvin officially signs for the Bulldogs.

786
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Gus got his way. Now, firstly, what's your thoughts on

787
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:24.519
<v Speaker 2>this whole Gus gould Saga, this whole bashing he got

788
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:28.559
<v Speaker 2>from Chalmers, this manipulation that he's been doing all through

789
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the media to get Galvin there and all this stuff.

790
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Mate, What's what's your thoughts? So I'm going to be

791
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:37.559
<v Speaker 1>long winded again, and I've got views, and I've got

792
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:43.239
<v Speaker 1>two different different views Full Good Bulldogs put them on. Yeah,

793
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:46.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows I'm a Bulldog Bulldog supporter, so that's why

794
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got two views. Full Gold is a despicable grub

795
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.840
<v Speaker 1>what he did and how how he he performs his business,

796
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.760
<v Speaker 1>caughting a young man for about I don't know, sixteen

797
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:08.239
<v Speaker 1>to eighteen months through the public is disgraceful. Now do

798
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>we think that behind closed doors, other CEOs general managers

799
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.719
<v Speaker 1>are not doing it. I'm not not ove enough to

800
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:21.599
<v Speaker 1>know to think that things that happen like this in

801
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:25.480
<v Speaker 1>different clubs with different people, with different general managers. But

802
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the way this man, the way this man has done

803
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it is wrong to the highest order. And I'm surprised

804
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 1>that he's not sacked from Channel nine. But Channel nine

805
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:44.079
<v Speaker 1>is more spineless than the NRL, so they're not going

806
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to sack anyone because that show gets high ratings. The

807
00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:52.559
<v Speaker 1>what was it called rubbishared, I don't watch it well.

808
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Now everyone knows that everything he says is lies anyway,

809
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:57.119
<v Speaker 2>so it's going to wreck the credibility of that show.

810
00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And what he actually did accept in interview from from

811
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Chambers is that he exposed himself. He did I've never

812
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.159
<v Speaker 1>seen him buckles as for the first time in my life,

813
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw Phil Good the big power breaker buckle because

814
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what Chamers was right, Okay, you know what

815
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.159
<v Speaker 1>when he asked him that haven't you spoken to to

816
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:21.320
<v Speaker 1>like and he said no, you know what we all

817
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:26.840
<v Speaker 1>know that we all know that's a lie. The coaching

818
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>staff has explain you line, piece of ship. That's all

819
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I can say about you now as a Bulldog supporter, Okay,

820
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I love what he's done. Well no, well yeah you

821
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 1>got the result. So so so what Gus gul does

822
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and has done? And what what's that piece of rubbish?

823
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.760
<v Speaker 1>What Isaac Moses does and and Ac says it. He

824
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.280
<v Speaker 1>gets the best deals for his for his clients, and

825
00:47:56.599 --> 00:48:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Gus does the best for for for the Bulldogs. It's

826
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:03.360
<v Speaker 1>just the way he conducts his business. Now, I personally

827
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.280
<v Speaker 1>think he should resign from Channel nine and he can

828
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:08.559
<v Speaker 1>do whatever he wants all the Bulldogs. He can resign

829
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:13.199
<v Speaker 1>for one. But guess what, he doesn't want to lose

830
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.920
<v Speaker 1>his clip of one point three for Channel nine and

831
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:18.320
<v Speaker 1>one point eight for the Bulldogs. Wow, he doesn't want

832
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:21.159
<v Speaker 1>to lose his clip there money man? Oh yeah, come on,

833
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's get real. You know, you know Gus

834
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.440
<v Speaker 1>coul You know he's a university graduate, he's a lawyer.

835
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.559
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's such a good speaker. They don't think

836
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.880
<v Speaker 1>he's a dummy. He's no dummy, of course not. He's

837
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:38.320
<v Speaker 1>no dummy. So what is effectively done for the for

838
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cannaby team this year is effectively derailed season. I

839
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:44.519
<v Speaker 1>can I can guarantee you that that that's going to

840
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:49.119
<v Speaker 1>happen because when you go through a preseason and you

841
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:53.840
<v Speaker 1>surrounded did to them what he did to them, put

842
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:56.559
<v Speaker 1>them through living hell and says to him that I

843
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.559
<v Speaker 1>love you, I'll die for you, I'll kill for you.

844
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:03.960
<v Speaker 1>But you you you can go? Okay, twelve rounds in? Yeah,

845
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:07.079
<v Speaker 1>trust he is gone. It will take a while to

846
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.880
<v Speaker 1>build up again. This kid better be a fucking immortal.

847
00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>What he's done in and around the game, He's put

848
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the game in distribute Poor Benji? Now is he right? Maybe?

849
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Do I think Benji is a good coach right dis moment? No,

850
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:27.280
<v Speaker 1>he's not a coach. You need five years in the

851
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Reggies and then you can start talking about being a coach.

852
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:33.360
<v Speaker 1>The guy two years ago became a coach, not a

853
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Reggis coach, first grade coach, so he's still learning on

854
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the job. Do I like bench? Yes? Do I think

855
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be a good coach? Yes? I do

856
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:46.639
<v Speaker 1>think he's so is Galvin Wright or whoever said that?

857
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't believe that Galvin went to his father

858
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.480
<v Speaker 1>or to his manager and said that Benji can't. I

859
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:58.840
<v Speaker 1>don't believe it does. What does Galvin know about a

860
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:02.199
<v Speaker 1>good coach? He's nineteen. When has he ever been coached

861
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.079
<v Speaker 1>at a high level? So he doesn't know. Now, I

862
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:10.280
<v Speaker 1>think the kid's been poorly advised. And I hurt for

863
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the Tigers' supporters and the Tiger's team. And you know what,

864
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:18.719
<v Speaker 1>I got an eighty eight or eighty six year old

865
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:22.760
<v Speaker 1>father who's sitting down and asking me, and what do

866
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I telling him? Asking me? Why? Why? What do I

867
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:28.760
<v Speaker 1>tell the guy? Yeah? I tell the guy. So I

868
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:34.559
<v Speaker 1>feel for them. Now, what what Gus has actually done

869
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is if you go forward three years and you have

870
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Wood at number seven, that promising youngster we've got

871
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:49.199
<v Speaker 1>and he looks the real deal. You got Galvin, a

872
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:53.000
<v Speaker 1>developing and his three years into his career and knows

873
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the system at six, and you buy and you will

874
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>buy another strike fullback with what's there? You look, you're

875
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:07.320
<v Speaker 1>talking rings because this year, even without Galvin, you're not

876
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:13.039
<v Speaker 1>talking rings because we saw three games. Three games Bronco

877
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:16.320
<v Speaker 1>has done it to him, Camera done it to him.

878
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:19.159
<v Speaker 1>And then the fin's done to him. How you beat

879
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.400
<v Speaker 1>canterby not hard, I'll tell you now, not hard to

880
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:26.000
<v Speaker 1>be canterby their their their middle is as weak as jelly.

881
00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But you just have to keep on, keep on, keep

882
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:31.039
<v Speaker 1>on keeping at it. You have to keep on keeping

883
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:37.000
<v Speaker 1>at it, and you'll get it. Okay, So what what what? What?

884
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what more to say. I think I

885
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:41.519
<v Speaker 1>think you should I think you should go. I think

886
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you should get sacked from Channel nine. Honestly, I think

887
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you should resign from Channel nine and and then we

888
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:50.440
<v Speaker 1>won't be having these conversations. Chamis exposed him, Chamus exposed him,

889
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.239
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know. I think Chambis is a fucking

890
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.519
<v Speaker 1>grub as well. Personally, I think Chamis is a grub

891
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.559
<v Speaker 1>as well. Pretty exposed or what what type of grub

892
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>he really? So? So before that interview we thought maybe, no,

893
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:09.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a grub, disgraceful, disgraceful human being, but he gets

894
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:12.960
<v Speaker 1>results for his team. I don't know. I want to

895
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.920
<v Speaker 1>be fair and balanced. What's wrong is wrong, and he

896
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:18.920
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. He was fucking wrong. He made me sick,

897
00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:22.760
<v Speaker 1>really honestly, in the pit of my stomach, made me sick.

898
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But on the flip side and his kid, like I said,

899
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:28.679
<v Speaker 1>better be a bloody and mortal. At the end of

900
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the day, he's doing the right thing for his Yeah,

901
00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:36.639
<v Speaker 1>save me here, No, no, I want to be fair.

902
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I think it's what he's done is just it just

903
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:42.320
<v Speaker 1>shows a lot about his character. Yes, it does, because.

904
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.639
<v Speaker 2>What he said about Bendy's got is what's upset most

905
00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:48.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Tigers guys like Leu and that they're all

906
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:52.760
<v Speaker 2>upset about that. But I can understand if Lachlan went

907
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.559
<v Speaker 2>to Paramatta because that was his junior club and apparently

908
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:57.400
<v Speaker 2>he was a supporter.

909
00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Of Paramatta and blah blah blah, so.

910
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I could sort of underst Then he left Tigers to

911
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:02.760
<v Speaker 2>go back to his junior club to be there played

912
00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:05.320
<v Speaker 2>next to Mitch Moses, who is a star all right,

913
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:07.960
<v Speaker 2>But he went to Canterbury because he thinks he's got

914
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:09.280
<v Speaker 2>more chance of winning a camp there.

915
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Now, Mitch Moses did the same thing.

916
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:14.159
<v Speaker 2>He left Balmain to the Tigers to go to Parramata

917
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:15.679
<v Speaker 2>because he thought he had more chance of winning a

918
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Grand Final. Well, he's thirty one, he doesn't won a

919
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:20.719
<v Speaker 2>comp yet and he's closer to retirement than Lachlan is.

920
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:23.320
<v Speaker 2>But he could finish his career without a crop premiership

921
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and he did the same thing Galvin did. Basically he

922
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.280
<v Speaker 2>left because Tigers weren't good enough, right t Desk. I

923
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:31.960
<v Speaker 2>did the same thing, but he went to Robbo. Now

924
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:33.840
<v Speaker 2>do you think so oldo is that good that he's

925
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:35.800
<v Speaker 2>going to win a camp? Like he's leading the comp

926
00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:40.559
<v Speaker 2>in first of June after twelve rounds and he's only

927
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.599
<v Speaker 2>beaten what Sharks and this and Canberra right who were

928
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:47.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty miler ahead and put the qu in the rank.

929
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.119
<v Speaker 2>But apart from that, he's beaten all teams that probably

930
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:50.119
<v Speaker 2>won't be in the aid anyway.

931
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I said that.

932
00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So for Galvern to think that, just for Galvin to

933
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:55.599
<v Speaker 2>think that he's going to get a Canry win a camp,

934
00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:58.519
<v Speaker 2>he's taking a big gamble. Like if he wants to

935
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 2>win a camp, then he appro knocks on Cleary's door

936
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and says, I want to I want to go to

937
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Penrith and I want to play next to nath Cleary.

938
00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Or he knocks on Robbo's door and goes, I want

939
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.000
<v Speaker 2>to go to Roosters, I want to comp, or he

940
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:10.159
<v Speaker 2>goes to Bennett, or he goes to Bellamy. But Soroll

941
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't get it, you know what, Like

942
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:16.639
<v Speaker 2>he had the same pools at the same pooling originally.

943
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how's he going now? Is he gonna win? Are

944
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:19.719
<v Speaker 1>they going to win a camp? I'm not sure. I

945
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:21.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. Actually I thought this year.

946
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I said the same with Canary As what sharks

947
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:26.760
<v Speaker 2>for three years beating the bottom sites.

948
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think that a young Galvin has drank Phil

949
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Gul's kool aid exactly. He sold him. He's a snake.

950
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:39.559
<v Speaker 1>He sold him, He sold him, sold him. Now now

951
00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not going to city and tell you.

952
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:45.840
<v Speaker 1>What I can tell you is that I see how

953
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:50.360
<v Speaker 1>he's improved a rugby league team. But he's got next

954
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:56.519
<v Speaker 1>to him, Phil gool Yeah, no other coach, no other

955
00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:00.960
<v Speaker 1>rugby league coach has got next to him. It's a

956
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:03.800
<v Speaker 1>big thing. I feel good. It is. Imagine if Saint

957
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.039
<v Speaker 1>George it is general manager, feel good and he turns

958
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:10.000
<v Speaker 1>your roster by twelve players. Good question. Yeah, I know

959
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it's Jeworie, But what I'm saying is you can't judge Serrada.

960
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:14.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't.

961
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.119
<v Speaker 2>You can't judge Serrada, but you can judge that club

962
00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:19.639
<v Speaker 2>because look at Toby Sexton, now like Toby Sex and

963
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden he's thrown out of the rubbish.

964
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:25.079
<v Speaker 2>And if Lachlan Galvin in eighteen months time Cannabury is

965
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:26.960
<v Speaker 2>struggling and he gets thrown, they're just going to thrown

966
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:28.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the water. But the same thing can be

967
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.639
<v Speaker 2>said for the Bulldogs. Lachlan Galvin to me, showed the

968
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:33.800
<v Speaker 2>top of character that he is. That if the Bulldogs

969
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:36.079
<v Speaker 2>are struggling in three years and his contract's up, he's out.

970
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:38.320
<v Speaker 2>So he's just going to change ship to the ten

971
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that's coming first.

972
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Again. Okay, I don't trust this guy. He's got a

973
00:55:41.719 --> 00:55:45.199
<v Speaker 1>very bad character to me. Now, Okay, look I'm not

974
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:48.079
<v Speaker 1>prepared to talk about his character yet and I'll tell

975
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:52.599
<v Speaker 1>you why because I don't believe he's just been pulled.

976
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:56.039
<v Speaker 1>He's nineteen. He's nineteen, How can you have character?

977
00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:58.639
<v Speaker 2>But it didn't have to say anything, mate, Yeah, compare

978
00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Lomex now to him, right, wanted out nothing. They didn't

979
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:03.760
<v Speaker 2>say nothing about anything. He just wanted out of the club.

980
00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:07.880
<v Speaker 2>That makes the man, yeah, I know, but still man,

981
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:10.360
<v Speaker 2>he could have just kept his mouth shut. He didn't

982
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:11.920
<v Speaker 2>have to say anything about Benji. You know, I don't

983
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:14.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be coached by whatever he was. I agree

984
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:17.039
<v Speaker 2>now like you said, it could be his manager that

985
00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:17.360
<v Speaker 2>said that.

986
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:20.039
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, we don't know. We don't know. Look,

987
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I don't know. When I speak Rugby League,

988
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like I just said about the Broncos, I speak from

989
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:33.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing something. And when I said that continuously the same things.

990
00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Well there's something there, I'll speak about it. But with Lucky,

991
00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, what did I

992
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:45.760
<v Speaker 1>tell you before? I think it's before Gul's first mistake

993
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>he's pulled, since it's been at Canterbury for three years,

994
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever it's been, I think he's pulled every right rain.

995
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:56.079
<v Speaker 1>This one, I think is his first mistake. You'll see.

996
00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't, I don't. I really don't know.

997
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:04.239
<v Speaker 1>All I know is and you know what, I really

998
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I really hate this on on socials and on the

999
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Bulldog's forums and the podcasts, some of the podcasts that

1000
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I listen, all you bulldogs who are crying about sucking

1001
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this and sucked in that, and we've got this, we

1002
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:27.519
<v Speaker 1>got that. Hold Hold up for a minute, as Adie says,

1003
00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:30.559
<v Speaker 1>hold hold, hold my beer, because you don't know what

1004
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:35.880
<v Speaker 1>we've gone. We've seen glimpses of a young man playing

1005
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:40.000
<v Speaker 1>some high quality of rugby league at the same age.

1006
00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Katawa for me is far far better, exactly, and so

1007
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:51.360
<v Speaker 1>many streaks ahead of Galvin. They're the same age. Actually,

1008
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:56.079
<v Speaker 1>No is Galvin's nineteen, he's twenty twenty or twenty one.

1009
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:01.559
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one is okay, even if twenty one. I saw

1010
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:03.920
<v Speaker 1>this last year when he was twenty. Yeah, exactly. So

1011
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:08.639
<v Speaker 1>he's far, far, far far better than than you at

1012
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:14.239
<v Speaker 1>the moment. Like you. So guys, be careful what use

1013
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:18.639
<v Speaker 1>are saying, because we know nothing. We know nothing. We've

1014
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.480
<v Speaker 1>heard one GM believe that he's the best thing he's

1015
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:28.559
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. As Nicol said that had Fitler, ye same,

1016
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and what Nicol said last week he had head in

1017
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:34.679
<v Speaker 1>his team an eighteen year old Bidlow who played for

1018
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Australia the same year and Origin the same year.

1019
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:40.800
<v Speaker 2>It goes to show how much you looked at his

1020
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Penroth juniors too, because the guys like Yale and Cleary

1021
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:47.880
<v Speaker 2>came out starring as we suppecially now they've got four rings,

1022
00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:50.400
<v Speaker 2>more than any other player that he's coached, and they

1023
00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:53.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't see them as superstars when our young So God

1024
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:55.480
<v Speaker 2>this guy must be really special. Let's wait and see,

1025
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.519
<v Speaker 2>say now to finish this sof George, let's finish this

1026
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:02.679
<v Speaker 2>off with a closing quote. Now, with all this rubbish

1027
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:04.400
<v Speaker 2>that we saw with Gold and Moses, the two guys

1028
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that have got the most power in the the looks

1029
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:10.199
<v Speaker 2>things because Valandis isn't doing anything in the Channel nine

1030
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.280
<v Speaker 2>or anyone, so they're letting them just do whatever they want.

1031
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.039
<v Speaker 2>You think that the only thing that we should do

1032
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:18.719
<v Speaker 2>now is bringing a draft and a trade window, and

1033
00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:22.280
<v Speaker 2>with those two things relinquishes all power that they're know

1034
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:24.760
<v Speaker 2>all these play managers and all these things, and Gold's

1035
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.400
<v Speaker 2>talk it does nothing because at the end of the day,

1036
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.400
<v Speaker 2>all these players go in to pull and straight away

1037
00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:31.800
<v Speaker 2>that any team can bed for him. Most of the

1038
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:34.039
<v Speaker 2>teams at the bottom that need the most. That is

1039
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that you reckon, thank you. The only solution is this

1040
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:38.840
<v Speaker 2>er earl. Now, can they look at this now and say, okay,

1041
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:41.000
<v Speaker 2>now we definitely need a trade window and we definitely

1042
00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:41.280
<v Speaker 2>mad it.

1043
00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying that in

1044
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:47.400
<v Speaker 1>these questions he's asking me either off the car or

1045
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:51.480
<v Speaker 1>just he knows me. Well, it's a pet a pet

1046
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:56.960
<v Speaker 1>bug for me. Where the only professional game, one of

1047
00:59:57.039 --> 00:59:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the amni professional games in the world, number one has

1048
00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:03.679
<v Speaker 1>not got a draft, who has not got a trade window?

1049
01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:09.079
<v Speaker 1>And and the other thing is we don't know how

1050
01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>much players are earning, nor do we know how much

1051
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>their third parties are. We have to we have to

1052
01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>go finding this. And plus this is the other the

1053
01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>other thing we talked about Channel nine and this is

1054
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this is more r than Channel nine because channel and

1055
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I should demand this. So when you watch and I'll

1056
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>go n B A because because I watch NBA. Let's

1057
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>say the Lakers. So the Lakers have a podcast which

1058
01:00:41.639 --> 01:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>comes out every day. They have a YouTube channel which

1059
01:00:47.639 --> 01:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>comes out every day with new footage at training, and

1060
01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:54.679
<v Speaker 1>they pick a player and they even go to their houses.

1061
01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:58.079
<v Speaker 1>There you go, there, you go so much access there, Okay,

1062
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys. Further because on the ground, the top players,

1063
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, uh oh wow. So when they do something,

1064
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>when they're talking to their players, maybe not live, but

1065
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>when they play a replay you can hear. Imagine how

1066
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>cool would it be to hear when someone makes a break,

1067
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>what's happening all around him? Yeah, I think it's amazing.

1068
01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>So all of a sudden, Cleary would look like even

1069
01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the biggest star, wouldn't it because no one knows what

1070
01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>he says, and there they just say that he's a failure.

1071
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he's actually quite a He does a

1072
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:35.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of the talking. If it's not for Nathan's talking,

1073
01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things don't get done.

1074
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Again, well, thank you, so, so Nathan is a good example.

1075
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Nathan's a good example. And I'll tell you why because

1076
01:01:44.679 --> 01:01:49.159
<v Speaker 1>we on the television and people who don't thoroughly understand

1077
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:54.599
<v Speaker 1>rugby league, okay, have a look at players and if

1078
01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they're not breaking breaks or they're not making massive tackles

1079
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of forty twenty's, well they've had a bad game. But

1080
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>when when a Nathan controls and are taking shape with

1081
01:02:08.159 --> 01:02:10.719
<v Speaker 1>his mouth and has a look at the has a

1082
01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>look at the defense and controls with his movements and

1083
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>with the ball movements controls the defense. I'd love to

1084
01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>hear what's happening. I'd love to hear Nathan, Nathan, you know,

1085
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>turn around to the hookah and say you know we're

1086
01:02:28.440 --> 01:02:31.679
<v Speaker 1>going to left three, right, We're going We're going to

1087
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>do this explains the whole set, okay, and then you'll

1088
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:39.519
<v Speaker 1>see it unfold. I think it's it's it's it'll be amazing.

1089
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to me being a footing nerd, I'd love

1090
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>to hear stuff. And you know what Shade Guilders Al

1091
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Alexander's the m VP this this year in NBA, he

1092
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>was miked up and it was amazing. I heard what

1093
01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I would hear what he's thinking, and you know they'll

1094
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>they'll twelve down and he instructed for two minutes. He came,

1095
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>they came back and he constructed the whole movement. It

1096
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>was amazing. You can hear him talk it. Yeah, I

1097
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Even that Grand Final where they won against

1098
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos, imagine that fifteen minutes that when they were

1099
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>coming back, you could hear what was happening and what

1100
01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:22.039
<v Speaker 1>they were saying. What you know, how things were unfolded.

1101
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine those huddles, what they say, you know,

1102
01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>when they breathe, I'd love to know what they're saying

1103
01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>or behind the past, I'd love to know what they're saying. Yeah,

1104
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>so access Sorry, I went off the I went off

1105
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>the track. And that's more about Channel nine and money

1106
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>for the thing. Oh draft, imagine if we had a draft. Okay,

1107
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>come November December. Whatever it is. Okay, there's a draft.

1108
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>It's televised exactly. It's televised more content because guess what

1109
01:03:50.760 --> 01:03:55.679
<v Speaker 1>drafts in all the other codes televised exactly. I'll tell

1110
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:58.679
<v Speaker 1>her to be huge events. So who comes on the market?

1111
01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Locking guess what? Who's coming last? Now? Penriff? Let's say,

1112
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>oh god, let's let's say Piff's coming last. They got

1113
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the first dip. They got the first dip, So I

1114
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>guess all of a sudden, Phil gool partly is taken

1115
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>out of his influence on Channel nine and what he

1116
01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>does behind the behind closed doors where it should be

1117
01:04:20.599 --> 01:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>we don't know, hasn't done it, can't do it. First

1118
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>first dip is Penriff. Okay, let's say Pendriffe passes up,

1119
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:33.559
<v Speaker 1>passes him up because they want the third pick. Let's say,

1120
01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for argument's sake, or wait a minute, who wants him?

1121
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It's can we want him? Okay? Well, they want Burton

1122
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>and Thing back. They want Burton back and they want

1123
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>kick Out back. That's okay, so yeah, we got luck

1124
01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>like who you go for us? They go, We'll give

1125
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you some reserve. No, how about how about Burton? Oh no,

1126
01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>well you you're the one who want him. You don't

1127
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>have to have him, no problem, you don't want him,

1128
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't want him. Oh, let's make it, do you know?

1129
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:02.239
<v Speaker 1>You know here we go, so all of a sudden

1130
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you can see how full gooal his power is his

1131
01:05:06.039 --> 01:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>half exactly. But guess what's even better? You know that

1132
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>piece of rubbish management manager, he's got no say at all.

1133
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:16.239
<v Speaker 1>He's going a little much less. They can negotiate money.

1134
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:19.199
<v Speaker 1>You can negotiate money if you want. That's it. But

1135
01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:23.119
<v Speaker 1>where he goes how he's doing his no So you

1136
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:28.039
<v Speaker 1>know when when how Moses goes to Manly and loads

1137
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>him up with players that no one else wants and

1138
01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>he's got to they've got to pay that much for him. Well,

1139
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>that can't happen under the draft. Yeah, okay, now origin

1140
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:42.559
<v Speaker 1>time trade window, that's it, no problem, Like he wants

1141
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to wait to the trade window. Fantastic, not a problem. Trade.

1142
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:54.119
<v Speaker 1>But you trade players and money and picks. So if

1143
01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do the NBA, the NBA away, you

1144
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>have picks. They give you picks. It's a long, long story.

1145
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>So let's forget the picks. It's too hard to work out.

1146
01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:05.679
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so who you got. It's the same thing.

1147
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Who you got for me? I got Lucky? You want

1148
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>who do you want? Yeah? I mean you want Luckier.

1149
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll take him him here now, okay, next, So you

1150
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>know what, Diet Dick get a stupid Newcastle will jump

1151
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:20.559
<v Speaker 1>in and give him two million dollars and give us

1152
01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>half a squad. You know how Newcastle is. They bought

1153
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:27.639
<v Speaker 1>for one point six one point three, so they probably

1154
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>take Lucky. They'll probably give you Ponger in half the team.

1155
01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>It probably will, you know what I mean. So you

1156
01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>don't have to negotiate with gool So if it were,

1157
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>it just makes so much. That makes sense if you

1158
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have if you've got a salary cap and you

1159
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:49.159
<v Speaker 1>don't have a draft and a trade window or salary

1160
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>cap doesn't work. Sorry, cap doesn't work and work, it

1161
01:06:52.519 --> 01:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work. Because you know what I would love to know.

1162
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I would love to know the Bronco players they're also

1163
01:06:59.159 --> 01:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they're really yeah, and the Bulldogs and the Bulldogs Yeah,

1164
01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to know this. I'm sure Lord has given

1165
01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:08.559
<v Speaker 1>him money left the table, but let's forget that. I'd

1166
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:11.519
<v Speaker 1>like to know because because while she's not on a

1167
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:13.559
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, he's on a millon dollars on the books,

1168
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for sure. Okay, if he's not on one point

1169
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>five with third parties and that's legal. Is that problem? Here?

1170
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that problem? But we don't do it. We're the

1171
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>only We're the only sport I'm telling you now google it.

1172
01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was wrong. We're the only sport that

1173
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:32.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know a player salaries. Yeah, it's crazy, and we're

1174
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be this sport. Rugby league is a sport

1175
01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that run like somewhere back in the seventies. Really,

1176
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we're a primitive, little backyard and that's why we're going

1177
01:07:47.800 --> 01:07:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to die. For all the land Is tries and for

1178
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>for his efforts of making us, you know, a powerhouse sport.

1179
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:02.159
<v Speaker 1>If you don't doesn't change the way he does business.

1180
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We're just this little backyard sport which eventually maybe even die.

1181
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll die very seriously because the things they do

1182
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:15.559
<v Speaker 1>and the are real whatever those well, you know what,

1183
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they think they're doing the right thing for the players,

1184
01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and the players think.

1185
01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>We can see how many mental illness cases we had

1186
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>this year alone, so they're doing a great job. Every

1187
01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:28.039
<v Speaker 2>player's got mental illness by the looks of things, so obviously,

1188
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>But the thing I don't understand with is, like you

1189
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:32.680
<v Speaker 2>said before, there's so many codes that have got drafts

1190
01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and trade windows. So all the NRAL have to do

1191
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>is go and speak to those codes and find out

1192
01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:41.119
<v Speaker 2>what they've got in the back end that protects them

1193
01:08:41.159 --> 01:08:44.680
<v Speaker 2>from any rl pas and that attacking them and then

1194
01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>putting them in place, and then they're clear. They can

1195
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>just go back and say, well everyone else doesn't, so

1196
01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>we're doing it based on these factors, you know what

1197
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean. So it can be done. It's just that

1198
01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>they just don't want to. And maybe because there's a

1199
01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>couple of guys that we know now that are pulling

1200
01:08:58.039 --> 01:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the strings.

1201
01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:04.119
<v Speaker 1>No, no, right, you know what I expect. Nothing shocks

1202
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>me anymore because you know what I thought, Abdullah and

1203
01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:11.159
<v Speaker 1>the Landis are running the game. Well now we know

1204
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:16.359
<v Speaker 1>they're not running absolutely, they're not absolutely. And and there's

1205
01:09:16.680 --> 01:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe that there's more gasses and there's more we

1206
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:23.199
<v Speaker 1>just don't know them. There's more gusses, and there's more.

1207
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Piece of gems on TV though sorry, there's no germs

1208
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:28.880
<v Speaker 2>on other club gems on TV.

1209
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>That's true. No, no, no, he's he's the biggest. Look

1210
01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:38.279
<v Speaker 1>what he done, how he courted Lucky from his podcast,

1211
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>from from the television we show whatever that shows hundred

1212
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>forty or whatever. It's waterline. It's got to be illegal, surely.

1213
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It doesn't. It doesn't sit right with

1214
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>me anyway, And I'm a dog. Support just doesn't sit

1215
01:09:57.119 --> 01:10:00.319
<v Speaker 1>right with So I don't. I don't know anyway. But

1216
01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what, he's there now, and let's see how

1217
01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:07.119
<v Speaker 1>things unfold. I'm going to say it before anything happens.

1218
01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's his first big mistake. Yeah, I believe

1219
01:10:11.640 --> 01:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>first big mistake. I think it's his first, not second.

1220
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Ivan clear and bring any at the since the rebuild anyway,

1221
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what he's done, Well, again, that's therefore to see as well. Yeah,

1222
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that's therefore. And we've already the book. We've already in

1223
01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the book. Well, everyone makes mistakes, mate, So this might

1224
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>be one. You don't know.

1225
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>It could be a master stroke, or it could be

1226
01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:38.439
<v Speaker 2>a mistake. Time will tell, Who knows, time will tell?

1227
01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, anything else you want to get off your chest? George,

1228
01:10:42.039 --> 01:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>am I going to see you tomorrow kicking stones again?

1229
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:46.239
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of things that it's a lot of

1230
01:10:46.359 --> 01:10:49.119
<v Speaker 1>things a lot of random stuff. You are you asked,

1231
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think I'm tapped. I'll wait tapped.

1232
01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I think I'll wait to Tuesday. N Yeah, we'll wait

1233
01:10:55.359 --> 01:10:59.479
<v Speaker 1>for the to come on to talk and to talk

1234
01:10:59.880 --> 01:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>or Origin and I haven't gone. We haven't think, No,

1235
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>we didn't for them for sure. Origin and the Rugby

1236
01:11:07.520 --> 01:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>League tea. You know what, tea, there's always the second

1237
01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>game and there's no way in the world they can

1238
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:17.479
<v Speaker 1>play that bad again. So I really believe when has

1239
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it ever been too nil or three? Was it recently? No?

1240
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>We always going to decider. Yeah, we always going to decide.

1241
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't. And you know what if it has been

1242
01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:32.479
<v Speaker 1>too nil, it's Queensland doing it twice. Yeah, because last

1243
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>year went to three. Remember where that's sensational. Third game?

1244
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it was fits last year when it went

1245
01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to to nel and then that's where it got sacked. Yeah,

1246
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>he lost, lost and then they won the last one.

1247
01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I don't know something like that. So I don't

1248
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:46.560
<v Speaker 2>believe for one minute that it's going to go to

1249
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Sydney too, Neil, don't. I don't think. So you don't

1250
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:53.279
<v Speaker 2>change the team or you have to do. They didn't

1251
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>play well, so you just just stick with the same

1252
01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>kids and and and preparing them better.

1253
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll talk about that.

1254
01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that in depth on Tuesday, Tuesday Off,

1255
01:12:07.079 --> 01:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>as well as talk about the wonderful Saint George win

1256
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:09.319
<v Speaker 2>on the week.

1257
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Thank you was sort of a game. No worries, George.
