Speaker 3: ten is proudly wearing her Queensland jumper there, and I
Speaker 3: just want to open up by saying, before we get started,
Speaker 3: I lost the bet. I lost the bet. So unless
Speaker 3: you can find the jersey that fits me, I'll have
Speaker 3: to wear a queens and beanie on the next part
Speaker 3: that we that we record via video. Just just just
Speaker 3: send me whatever you got and and I'm sure that
Speaker 3: is going to plaster over every social And now I
Speaker 3: put my hand up. Hey, I'm a I'm a I'm
Speaker 3: a man of honor. I would have done. I would
Speaker 3: have done if I see Lorrie Daily in the street
Speaker 3: or hit buddy and making his nose look even worse
Speaker 3: than it is. But I'm a man of my words,
Speaker 3: so yes, I'm looking forward to you taking a piece
Speaker 3: out of me. Ten.
Speaker 2: I think Marine was just lovely on you.
Speaker 3: We're about to find out. We're about to find out
Speaker 3: he always looks good. How are you doing, Georgie. We're
Speaker 3: proudly wearing I'm.
Speaker 1: Wearing the blue one and the and the reason, the
Speaker 1: reason being is this in respect of my wife. I
Speaker 1: told her a few weeks ago that I wanted this
Speaker 1: hoodie because I saw her on television. Then she's gone
Speaker 1: high and low and this woman, she's a godsend. She
Speaker 1: she's she's scarred, scale scaled the whole earth, the founder,
Speaker 1: and she got it for the plot this week. And
Speaker 1: I wasn't worrying it. As she saw I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: wear it, and she she she hit me up. She goes, well,
Speaker 1: I've done everything you had to find it. You might
Speaker 1: as well wear it. I'll go, yeah, bugger herself.
Speaker 3: That's putting it nicely. Yeah, yeah, well your lunk's better.
Speaker 3: But she said, I spent two days trying to find
Speaker 3: a damn thing. You're not even wearing it. That's exactly
Speaker 3: what she said to you. Exactly what she said. So
Speaker 3: that's what I'm worried. But you know what, it's a
Speaker 3: nice hoody youlog the blue. Where's Origin twenty five? Than
Speaker 3: christ in the candy got the can in the cannony,
Speaker 3: pack it away. Let's pack that thing away. You know what,
Speaker 3: we can't pack it away. It was going to unpack it.
Speaker 3: It's unpacked. We going to unpack it. But before we do,
Speaker 3: what's the good thing of the week. That's a very
Speaker 3: very good question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm going to I'm going to say last
Speaker 1: week's good thing of the week what I said on
Speaker 1: the last week's pod and Teasy. That's why at the
Speaker 1: end of I think Origin two tea, I noticed Spencer
Speaker 1: went up to Israel Isra and they exchanged some words
Speaker 1: and look, it wasn't a hug, but it was definitely
Speaker 1: a handshake. And I'm happy that the boys are buried
Speaker 1: the hatchet because, like I said on last week's or
Speaker 1: my solo effort, we know that Israel is a little
Speaker 1: bit of an emotional human being and happily it's been
Speaker 1: buried put away in the can, as you say, Nicotta,
Speaker 1: and both of them move on, so because it's been
Speaker 1: affecting both for a few years now, so let's let's
Speaker 1: let's hope it's like the can gone and we're over it.
Speaker 2: I think, I think, and obviously we're going to get
Speaker 2: fully into it. But I think even just how everyone
Speaker 2: supported Monster from both sides.
Speaker 3: Standing yea, how can you're not outstanding?
Speaker 2: That is just you're not wonderful, you know, like it's
Speaker 2: it's and like I was saying to the guys, I
Speaker 2: was like, it'll be, which I did see a few
Speaker 2: comments which was just gross. But if people, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of said, like Queensland one because of months his
Speaker 2: father passing or whatever it was, and that is not
Speaker 2: an excuse, right, Like Queensland are quite good historically with
Speaker 2: their backs against the wall. But I think just the
Speaker 2: thought of you know, going through that and then playing
Speaker 2: and everything else, it was really.
Speaker 3: I didn't do my homework, but I know that over
Speaker 3: the years there's been two or three that I can remember,
Speaker 3: and I can't pick who it is now, like in
Speaker 3: Grand Final week where something similar has happened and if
Speaker 3: they've gone and played yeah, or mother or father, you know, grandparents.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think that was that was definitely and look,
Speaker 2: I would have been really surprised if they hadn't backed him.
Speaker 2: But and the other good thing of the week, because
Speaker 2: it was someone's.
Speaker 1: Birthday, that's the good that it would have been my
Speaker 1: good thing of the weekend. And I think Tea's are
Speaker 1: alluding to our big host Nichola's birthday. I think during
Speaker 1: the weeks, the first person to wish me happy birthday
Speaker 1: was yeah, of course at midnight, midnight, were you at
Speaker 1: that late?
Speaker 2: Do it with all my mates? I was like twelve
Speaker 2: o three?
Speaker 3: Good stuff? Good stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's that's probably my my sub good thing
Speaker 1: of the week Nicholas Nicholas birthday, and yeah, off.
Speaker 2: We I think I think probably even the Ezra thing right,
Speaker 2: like Andel's been rife with just horrible scandalous stories. I
Speaker 2: think it's just nice.
Speaker 3: It was good, was nice or something nice?
Speaker 2: Story is happening?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, hud. They didn't hug, but they definitely
Speaker 1: shook hands, and they definitely looked relieved all this thing.
Speaker 1: What happened, whatever happened, Yeah, they look relieved. Like I
Speaker 1: looked at their faces and they both look relieved. And
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought that, you know what it's
Speaker 1: good because he is an emotional human being, but the
Speaker 1: sounds of it, I don't know. I don't know him,
Speaker 1: but so good good he can sort.
Speaker 3: Of does Spencer next year up to Jonathan Thursday. I
Speaker 3: hope it's over, and that's not trying to get to you.
Speaker 1: I hope that part of whatever it's been the last
Speaker 1: three years it's going finish and.
Speaker 3: Use the words rife, scandalous. But let's get into the
Speaker 3: Origin showing where we start.
Speaker 1: We're going to start with, Look, you know what, the
Speaker 1: winners win, the winners can feast. So what do you
Speaker 1: go for me to talk to me about the game.
Speaker 1: The tactics, talk to me, talk to me about everything, because.
Speaker 2: Like I think even because I wasn't really concerned, like
Speaker 2: I always get that, I think it was like six
Speaker 2: forty seven, I got this spike of adrenaline that I
Speaker 2: always do before I decided, and I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I'm really nervous. And everyone's like what and
Speaker 2: I'm like because it's Origin, and they're like you're crazy,
Speaker 2: and I'm like no, like every time, right, And I
Speaker 2: wasn't concerned that we wouldn't win. I just didn't even
Speaker 2: really think about it. But the minute that I saw
Speaker 2: Monster in the sheds before the game and his eyes
Speaker 2: were just wide and dialed in. I saw Kate well
Speaker 2: and he's just a beast of a human anyway, but
Speaker 2: you just literally I was like, he looks like he's
Speaker 2: going to rip some heads off. It was just it
Speaker 2: was beautiful. It was just so Enick would have seen
Speaker 2: it today too. But I put up a post on
Speaker 2: LinkedIn and I was like, I liked it.
Speaker 3: I liked it. Yeah, I didn't love it.
Speaker 2: I liked it, but I was like, this is why
Speaker 2: I love footy, right when you have it leader that
Speaker 2: leads from the front, doesn't take the credit. You know,
Speaker 2: they have one goal, you know, and they're just working
Speaker 2: towards that one goal. And look, Queenslanders have always had
Speaker 2: that and I was I was saying this to Corey
Speaker 2: this morning because we kind of came in late to
Speaker 2: the competition. You know, we've had less teams in Queensland
Speaker 2: as well. We're very much we're aware that we're kind
Speaker 2: of like the poor brother of NRL like that. You
Speaker 2: guys might not think that, but we kind of came
Speaker 2: in second. So we've always kind of had that mentality.
Speaker 2: I think so that's why it's like that, you know,
Speaker 2: battling Queenslander mentality and floods and fires and everything else,
Speaker 2: and it was. It was probably one of the best
Speaker 2: games like I've seen. There were so many highlights. The
Speaker 2: funniest one was when La Trail got kicked in the nuts.
Speaker 3: I was but.
Speaker 2: Just like Coats's first try did and because with it
Speaker 2: did and one I actually thought Hammer was wished out.
Speaker 2: I didn't even see the ball flick back, like yeah.
Speaker 2: Harry Grant like you could tell. He was like, is
Speaker 2: it a person or a post? He's like, oh, it's
Speaker 2: a post that's going to go around. Like it was brilliant.
Speaker 2: It was, and I think it was one minute to
Speaker 2: go and the guys he was celebrating and I was like, nah, still,
Speaker 2: we have to hold on, and it's like I'm going
Speaker 2: to bed, well done, and I was like I will.
Speaker 3: Just I thought I was going to bed. I ended
Speaker 3: up ended up working till about eleven thirty. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: was like and like I was obviously messaging ten and
Speaker 3: rightly so saying congrats Queensland did everything right. They completely
Speaker 3: deserve it. I was more disappointed than New South Wales
Speaker 3: that I was honestly expecting a better showing than that. Right,
Speaker 3: taking nothing away from Queensland because their line speed, especially
Speaker 3: the defense was awesome. Everything they did was really good.
Speaker 3: But New South Wales and me were just so disappointing.
Speaker 3: Louie was you know, in game two he sets the
Speaker 3: tone by kicking it out on the fall. Last night
Speaker 3: he sets the tone by lollipopping it into the goal
Speaker 3: and giving him a seven tackle set which they ended
Speaker 3: up scoring from on the back end of it. Like
Speaker 3: just everything was Queensland's line speed was there in New
Speaker 3: South Wales, it was just it looked they looked flat,
Speaker 3: I don't know, and.
Speaker 2: They looked tired, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, playing at home in a decider, there's no excuse,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And Queensland like force that
Speaker 3: momentum onto him as well. Right, So full props to
Speaker 3: queens then, Like I said, not taking any away from them,
Speaker 3: I was just really disappointed in what the Blues dished out.
Speaker 3: I was hoping for better than that.
Speaker 2: I think energetically too, That's what I mean, even mentally,
Speaker 2: like there was such a force you could I could
Speaker 2: feel it, but it.
Speaker 3: Was just like even like for the first half an
Speaker 3: hour or so, like I'm watching I'm young the backs
Speaker 3: of them, all the hit ups, like you know what,
Speaker 3: do you need a momentum shift? We're the big boys
Speaker 3: to come in and there were nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 2: Well didn't Queensland did perfect completions.
Speaker 3: In the first time. Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 2: There was like we got our challenges except the very
Speaker 2: last one. And you know, I was talking to Shane,
Speaker 2: one of our mates, and we were watching the guys
Speaker 2: run out in his Queensland and he's like, oh god,
Speaker 2: New South Wales or like big boys, right, And I
Speaker 2: was like, well, the problem with having bigger players when
Speaker 2: you've got the other side smaller and younger. They're very zippy,
Speaker 2: so the bigger players are going to get gassed earlier.
Speaker 2: And they looked tired at like the thirty first minute.
Speaker 3: They just they just didn't look prepared. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a Lorry daily thing. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's a Lorry daily thing. But they
Speaker 3: just didn't look hungry.
Speaker 2: You know, I just I guess.
Speaker 3: And you know, you know, Queensland's going to be emotionally
Speaker 3: up because of the months, the factor, so you prepare
Speaker 3: for that as well.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even so the news up here, right, so,
Speaker 2: and I think I was talking about it last time,
Speaker 2: but you had DC gets swopped out, but you guys
Speaker 2: did it to DIDSCO last year. So no, My everyone
Speaker 2: was so shocked. But I always look at everything through
Speaker 2: a recruitment lens. So you always have people and companies
Speaker 2: that keep people too long because they're loyal or they
Speaker 2: feel bad letting them go or whatever. Billy's whole thing
Speaker 2: was like you know what, and it was very yeah,
Speaker 2: again scandalous the way that he did it, but he
Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to do what's best to win,
Speaker 2: and so what do we have. We had Big Papa
Speaker 2: come back, who also props to him. His wife just
Speaker 2: had a baby. I was reading today Ricky Schuitt said
Speaker 2: he's been sleeping in the hospital chair for like two
Speaker 2: nights in a row. Get him out of retirement. Shibasaki,
Speaker 2: who is like evenly paired with Jaminasaka, is my favorite
Speaker 2: player now he comes in like just.
Speaker 3: Forget Riach Wolf ready to go at fullback.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Hamma's brilliant. Hamma was so up here, like
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people saying how Billy did made
Speaker 2: the wrong decisions. But for me, like when I work
Speaker 2: with clients, I go, well, that's type of client I want,
Speaker 2: because they're willing to go this is what's best for
Speaker 2: the company or in this case, the state, or the game,
Speaker 2: or you know what I mean, like the competition. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know, I really try when I talk about origin,
Speaker 2: I really try and see it through a new South
Speaker 2: Wales Lens like I try and see the camaraderie.
Speaker 3: I just no, you can't, you can't, it's not there.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means to be a Queenslander,
Speaker 1: but I want I want some. I want some because
Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of waking up Thursday morning hurting.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt anymore. And I've heard most
Speaker 1: of my life, most of my life.
Speaker 2: But you've got to look at like, okay, even Lori
Speaker 2: daily and Billy like, you've got to look at the
Speaker 2: two comparisons, even in the way that they are like personally,
Speaker 2: I think even if I go back to Game one
Speaker 2: when Queensland lost, Billy wasn't standing up talking down to
Speaker 2: everyone like Gloria was doing last night, like he's consoling
Speaker 2: the guys with words, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: it's it's just a very different.
Speaker 3: You don't what I reckon lost the series when I
Speaker 3: lost Moses. Yeah, his kicking game made. It was so
Speaker 3: different to what Lua was dishing up.
Speaker 2: And even can have You can have all the skill
Speaker 2: if you don't act and the not to be corny,
Speaker 2: but if you don't have a heart piece, you're gonna
Speaker 2: like you could have every single player also, thank god
Speaker 2: Qatar wasn't playing, but every single player right, and they
Speaker 2: can be brilliant, but if they're not in synergy the Blues.
Speaker 3: This series for them was there to be won. They
Speaker 3: weren't good enough to do it. But even if you
Speaker 3: look at game two, they outscored Queensland and they lost
Speaker 3: the game on conversions, right, they had no right to like,
Speaker 3: It's like it was there to be taken. And then
Speaker 3: last night it was dismal, embarrassing team. Like I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have minded losing, like I said to you, you know,
Speaker 3: twenty to sixteen or something, you know, but.
Speaker 1: But to lose like that, it was like I think,
Speaker 1: I think, I think to you answered a lot of
Speaker 1: our questions and let me let me let me suggest that,
Speaker 1: let me suggest that the team wasn't prepared, prepared, or whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I think the minute we lost this Origin series was
Speaker 1: the minute that they chose Laurie Daily.
Speaker 3: To to cach. He's a failed He's a failed Origin coach.
Speaker 3: I forget. Last year's decider was pretty close up until
Speaker 3: like the sixty minute sixty.
Speaker 1: One of the best games we've seen in decades. It
Speaker 1: was a sensational game in terms of in terms of
Speaker 1: Queensland outstanding Billy master stroke, the decision as he made.
Speaker 1: And you're saying that some of the Queenslanders thought that
Speaker 1: he'd done the wrong moves. Well, I thought he had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in the same boat. But guess what, it's proven.
Speaker 1: We talk, we can talk, we can look back and
Speaker 1: talk with facts. Now, every decision he made he pulled
Speaker 1: the right rain. And not only he pulled the right rain,
Speaker 1: those particular players responded to him so and on on
Speaker 1: on this particularly and well, let's go back to the
Speaker 1: first game. Queensland steadily improved every game bit by bit
Speaker 1: by bit by bit. U c FLS didn't really play
Speaker 1: that well in the first game, but won the game
Speaker 1: and continued to play the same way all the way through.
Speaker 1: I suggest to you that it's a coaching thing again
Speaker 1: number one, number two.
Speaker 3: Sorry, So you know the thought that you know, last
Speaker 3: night reminded me of you know when you see teams
Speaker 3: going to the semis or going to a Grand final
Speaker 3: and everything lifts. It's not n RL level, it's semi
Speaker 3: final time. Yes, last night it was like watching one
Speaker 3: team play finals and one teams.
Speaker 1: Absolutely one team was playing origin. The other team was
Speaker 1: barely playing, was barely playing first grade. Uh so they said,
Speaker 1: you know how they say to you rise to the occasion.
Speaker 1: You don't rise to the occasion. You rise to the
Speaker 1: point of of your preparation. And we saw how her father,
Speaker 1: Laurie Daily prepared that new SOS team.
Speaker 3: It wasn't very high at all.
Speaker 1: Nicholas Nicol said that there was there was no passion,
Speaker 1: no love, no care, no power. Did see it? It's
Speaker 1: not maybe not fair. It wasn't it wasn't it wasn't there,
Speaker 1: It wasn't an it wasn't there. I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about Queensland because we should talk about Queensland. You mentioned
Speaker 1: mentioned Hammer, so so Billy plays and and you know
Speaker 1: what this wash between Walsh and the Hammer like both
Speaker 1: of them exactly the same. You get the same, same
Speaker 1: brilliants out of bathroom. But Billy wanted to play a
Speaker 1: completely flat game, and he played a flat game and
Speaker 1: he worked a treat.
Speaker 3: Guys are genius. Guys are genius.
Speaker 1: If if he played a wide game, he would have
Speaker 1: brought Hammer, sorry, he would have brought Reese with his sweeps.
Speaker 1: The guy's a genius. He's he's born to do this,
Speaker 1: this job. Every mouse was the Japanese international Situaki whatever
Speaker 1: his name is. Yeah, yeah, hey, I didn't know can
Speaker 1: play that well.
Speaker 2: Really, he's brilliant.
Speaker 1: Broncos and and Tommy, Tommy didn't. If Tommy didn't is
Speaker 1: in the premiere number seven in the country at the moment.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't go on the Kangaroo Tour as number seven,
Speaker 1: we know that there's something fishy happening. Let's let's talk
Speaker 1: about the Blues. We said that they're not prepared, that
Speaker 1: they were not prepared no way.
Speaker 3: In the world.
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, no, no power, no passion, no hunger.
Speaker 3: Are they hardly bent the line. They never looked like
Speaker 3: even wrote the last tackle options right. I know it
Speaker 3: obviously worked well at but Loui beautiful. Let's let's talk individually.
Speaker 1: I love it for me, It's just an overrated flop.
Speaker 3: Okay, So so he brought no direction, he brought no nothing, nothing,
Speaker 3: But its just bad timing, bad timing, holding on to
Speaker 3: the ball second too long, so players were overrunning the past.
Speaker 3: I saw about three or four passes from the Blues
Speaker 3: that the ref didn't pick up. They don't know.
Speaker 1: Both serious, yeah, both sides. You know, Jerome's cards are marked.
Speaker 1: He won't play original. He won't see another blue blue
Speaker 1: jersey again. If especially if Mitches are available, there will
Speaker 1: be no blue jerseys going going to him. And and
Speaker 1: you know what, he looked good in Penrith because there's
Speaker 1: a system built around Nathan and Jerome and Yo and
Speaker 1: the system makes them look good. The system makes them
Speaker 1: look good. Nathan, you know what the excuses that he
Speaker 1: is injured, let's let's have have a have a look
Speaker 1: at this. Pay hass has to at the end of
Speaker 1: the season, has to get his vertebrate removed, his vertebrate removed.
Speaker 3: I was always taught as a youngster, whatever excuse you got,
Speaker 3: if you take the field, you got no exactly. Okay,
Speaker 3: this's guy somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Brian Tojo hasn't got a hamstring at the moment, okay,
Speaker 1: and he's done his other he's done his piece on
Speaker 1: his other knee, and he was probably the best, one
Speaker 1: of the best players on the field. So where where
Speaker 1: we're blaming, we're blaming injury for Nathan not having a
Speaker 1: good game. You know what, there's nothing wrong because the commentators,
Speaker 1: these magazine commentators or the line commentators, it's not.
Speaker 3: The injury that Cleary had right was was obviously in
Speaker 3: game two. He wasn't on any long kicking last night.
Speaker 3: He he was was trying to anyway, well, there was
Speaker 3: nothing happening last or there's an excuse so I was
Speaker 3: trying to lose. There's nothing happening.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to I just want to trying
Speaker 1: to say, there's nothing wrong. We've been a good in
Speaker 1: our real player and our real player. But you can't
Speaker 1: you can't play Origin. There's nothing wrong with that. And
Speaker 1: on the on the flip side, Mitch has proven himself,
Speaker 1: proven himself because because he brought the victory home at
Speaker 1: the game alluded the last.
Speaker 3: Game too, he brought it home game he brought Game
Speaker 3: two for triass and Game three, he brought it and
Speaker 3: he scored the winner. And in game one this year
Speaker 3: he did well as well, and he did well as well.
Speaker 1: So you know what, it's therefore to see there's no
Speaker 1: need for commentators to talk about him and to wait
Speaker 1: for that one game he's going to have and he
Speaker 1: eventually he's twenty six, he's going to have one game
Speaker 1: in the next five six years which is gonna he's
Speaker 1: going to do well, and we're.
Speaker 3: Going to call him a messiah. There's nothing. There's one
Speaker 3: on the side of yet and he never won. There's
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with being a good and a real player.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the coaching and and one
Speaker 1: coach in so Foles is going to be put down
Speaker 1: as one of the best coaches ever and so should
Speaker 1: be the Melbourne coach. Okay, but you know what, when
Speaker 1: it comes to this arena, he's a failed coach.
Speaker 3: He had to go became lost. No when he when
Speaker 3: he had to go a couple of years ago, it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter twenty twelve years ago, fifteen he failed and
Speaker 3: you know what, but to be fair, every New South
Speaker 3: Wales coach did during that year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm talking about him. He's a super coach.
Speaker 1: He's super coach. He's a super coach. And he came
Speaker 1: in here the sist a man who hasn't doesn't coach,
Speaker 1: and he didn't assist him because he gave the wrong
Speaker 1: game plan. And then you know what, Nepotism didn't work
Speaker 1: in the A's with Cabs. Nepotism or lay what is it?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Nepotism didn't work back in the Apes right for Cab,
Speaker 1: it didn't work for Paramota. It's not working for Saint
Speaker 1: Georgia at the moment. And guess what, it doesn't work
Speaker 1: for Melbourne Storm put in one of their front rowers
Speaker 1: in to try to get him into form.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work.
Speaker 1: He was a passenger and you had you had a
Speaker 1: Tiger's front rale, which would have fit the brief a
Speaker 1: brief watching on Foxville.
Speaker 3: At home, he talked himself out of that kid. He
Speaker 3: probably did.
Speaker 1: But you know what, sometimes you need to look over
Speaker 1: when it comes to origin you you might have to
Speaker 1: look over, because then if that was the case, Monster
Speaker 1: I would have never.
Speaker 3: Got a gig. When it was a bit a bit
Speaker 3: rowdy back in his early years, he said, he said,
Speaker 3: you should take the news. I was Jersey and the
Speaker 3: throat in the bin. You're not going to pick a guy.
Speaker 1: Look, I agree to Dick, I don't. I don't disagree
Speaker 1: as a dicket with Jeran. With all of them, they're
Speaker 1: all the same fucking but that's not my thing. Pend
Speaker 1: got wrong in all their success. They didn't teach any
Speaker 1: of their players how to use social media because they're
Speaker 1: all in basciles online, from from Taruver to Louaye to
Speaker 1: the main brothers to who am I leaving out? When
Speaker 1: it comes to social media, they've all shut themselves and
Speaker 1: Nathan clearing himself during COVID, they've all shut themselves in
Speaker 1: the foot when it comes to Instagram, right, that's the one.
Speaker 1: That's the one area Pendan's gone wrong with all all
Speaker 1: of their players.
Speaker 2: Some of them have gotten better. I would say on
Speaker 2: origin to say something.
Speaker 1: It was embarrassed. The performance was embarrassing. Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: I was embarrassed, and I'm embarrassed wearing this blue thing
Speaker 1: right at the moment. Okay, absolutely no, no, that performance was
Speaker 1: It was no no, no, no, no, no tea that that performance.
Speaker 3: But those who can't see us, I'm wearing a paramatta
Speaker 3: jacket and he's embarrassed. No, no, no, no, I'm deeply embarrassed.
Speaker 1: And I want to apologize to people who who like
Speaker 1: my wife, who who I wanted to watch a decider,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It was terrible, But you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to think about the Blues
Speaker 1: because they just depressed me and Queensland were outstanding. And
Speaker 1: and when when when I do watch the game against
Speaker 1: I watched it twice. Now I watch it again, I'm
Speaker 1: going to focus on Queensland. Really, I don't. I want
Speaker 1: to blank blank out all the blue rubbish, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, all the blue rubsh and guess what
Speaker 1: if if Daily coaches again will be exactly the same result.
Speaker 3: I want to talk for a moment about Monster right
Speaker 3: and just think about we get about what's happened this week, right,
Speaker 3: but the whole emotional maturity rollercoaster of this series for him,
Speaker 3: right being named as captain in game two, master stroke,
Speaker 3: then going through what he went through this week and
Speaker 3: the way he carried himself. You know, it's like he's
Speaker 3: growing an extra foot or you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: really needs to be I've always been a fan that
Speaker 3: it needs to be commended heavily.
Speaker 2: You got to think, you've got to think think of
Speaker 2: the stories in Queensland. So when you're focusing on it.
Speaker 2: So you've got Deden who came in into the game
Speaker 2: and then there was all this crap around DC. You've
Speaker 2: got ship Asaki who was going to give up footy
Speaker 2: like six twelve months ago, you know, purely because he
Speaker 2: just wasn't getting a look in eighteen months ago. Then
Speaker 2: you've got Monster even if you know, we don't count
Speaker 2: what happens this week, but the captain thing as well.
Speaker 2: You've got Papali who was called back in two like
Speaker 2: all the stories, so everyone individually had like they had
Speaker 2: to make it, you know, and they were all pulling together.
Speaker 2: So I think New South Wales they really focus on
Speaker 2: not you guys like what I hear, but just on
Speaker 2: the win. You know, no matter how they win, they've won.
Speaker 2: A win's a win kind of thing like that. That's
Speaker 2: the and and I look, I know Queenslanders can be grubby,
Speaker 2: but last night I think it was fairly even. They're
Speaker 2: kind of giving it back to each other, but these
Speaker 2: guys are very close. Like how like even tomorrow when
Speaker 2: you watch it again, George have a look even look
Speaker 2: when they lost in game one Queensland and look at
Speaker 2: how far apart the guy is standing from each other,
Speaker 2: like there's.
Speaker 3: No Queen the Queensland, you mean in South Wales.
Speaker 2: And then look what Queensland.
Speaker 1: Absolutely look what you're talking about. I see it with
Speaker 1: some rugby league teams and that four Pete with all
Speaker 1: their all their all their failures kind of have had that, okay,
Speaker 1: but Queensland has had it, had it. It's nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: and again I'll say it again. I didn't believe it,
Speaker 1: and I said so last year and the year before.
Speaker 1: But I want to know what Queensland, what it means
Speaker 1: to be a Queenslander.
Speaker 3: I want to feel it. I want to feel it.
Speaker 1: I want to feel it because because they can't do
Speaker 1: what they did if somewhere along the line from their
Speaker 1: their their youth or their growth, something was deeply seated
Speaker 1: in their heads to go back to that.
Speaker 3: So I said, for a joke, once upon a time.
Speaker 1: When you when you get when you're when you're being
Speaker 1: raised in Queensland, you get told all these stories about
Speaker 1: how the big bad New South Wales people do this
Speaker 1: and that, and and it just when you play when
Speaker 1: you put that Moraine jersey, it just clicks on now.
Speaker 1: It was it was, it was, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a joke. But there's something along the somewhere along the line.
Speaker 1: It's in your DNA.
Speaker 2: We have four teams in Queensland. They should have done
Speaker 2: ipswitch jets instead of bringing back should have done I
Speaker 2: agree that we were just we're just the poor cousin,
Speaker 2: poor brother. That's that's what it is. Because even like
Speaker 2: we didn't even have many teams when I was born,
Speaker 2: you know, like the Dolphins only our fourth team has
Speaker 2: only opened three years ago, so we already have that
Speaker 2: kind of underdog.
Speaker 1: You were three years old, but you're talking about the
Speaker 1: you're talking about the entry in the n RL. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got you had a very strong domestic competition
Speaker 1: back then, and you still got You've still got a
Speaker 1: pretty good vibrant.
Speaker 2: It's more like comparing, do you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 2: because if I had talked to people about Origin, it's
Speaker 2: always we were winning, like you know, the first hundred
Speaker 2: years of Origin. I'm like, that's nice, Like you weren't
Speaker 2: playing for the state against state like this.
Speaker 3: Is if I remember correctly, I think that Broncos first
Speaker 3: games against Mainly was it I think I watched that.
Speaker 1: I think it was against Mainly up there up there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the first time I think, And it wasn't it wasn't
Speaker 1: Lane It was that Lane Park. But it was before
Speaker 1: they built a Z stadium. Remember a stadium? Yes, m hm, yes,
Speaker 1: where was that one in the western suburbs. We had
Speaker 1: all scaffolding team. It was a went to it once before.
Speaker 2: I think it was West. The worst thought it was.
Speaker 1: I can't remember I've gone to I've gone to Lang Park,
Speaker 1: but I've got I've all So first time I ever
Speaker 1: went to see the Broncos play, I went to a
Speaker 1: ground for Grandstand had Scafflee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's south side. I used to funny it's
Speaker 2: a sports and and now I used to recruit for them.
Speaker 2: It's at Macravat, so it's kind of from between the
Speaker 2: Gold Coast like straight line to Brisbane. It's kind of
Speaker 2: halfway south. And I think with Billy, so everyone does
Speaker 2: the same stuff, you know, like get you know, it's
Speaker 2: so predictable what what coaches do, and Billy's actually been
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what happens. But one is a
Speaker 2: younger coach to his team's younger but three he was
Speaker 2: quite disruptive, like he did so many things that people
Speaker 2: were shocked by and he just did it anyway. And
Speaker 2: there was this mentality.
Speaker 3: Talk about player.
Speaker 2: Movements like chain getting bringing properly and ship a psyche
Speaker 2: in for a decider.
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing, I know, I know that I'm going to
Speaker 1: be talking about this every day for the next two weeks.
Speaker 3: So what else do you want to say about Origin
Speaker 3: before we move on tonight? Even even even even when
Speaker 3: it comes.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Billy and stylistically, how he changed
Speaker 1: from game one to game three, and as he added players,
Speaker 1: he tweaked his style and when when and so the
Speaker 1: the Hammer fullback thing was one of the biggest tweaks
Speaker 1: he had to make because because Hammer doesn't actually physically
Speaker 1: break the line, he's the best backup man in the game. Okay,
Speaker 1: Reese will split the line with his with his change
Speaker 1: of pace, will split the line. So he completely changed stylistically,
Speaker 1: and Laurie couldn't handle that. All the Blues couldn't handle it.
Speaker 1: They don't know what was coming. They played so flat.
Speaker 1: So did you notice that Nicole said about forward passes?
Speaker 1: There was a lot of forward passes which wasn't picked up,
Speaker 1: which I don't really care about. What I really don't
Speaker 1: care about that happens every week. Yeah, I don't care
Speaker 1: about I really don't care about four passes. But on
Speaker 1: the off the back of that is Billy wanted to
Speaker 1: play really really really flat into the into their faces
Speaker 1: really quickly and the line speed. How Nicola spoke about
Speaker 1: the the really really quick line speed, so they couldn't
Speaker 1: and that's what he wanted to do. But he didn't
Speaker 1: think that they weren't going to be prepared. They were
Speaker 1: not prepared. So basically we can talk. You know what,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's me waking up
Speaker 1: Thursday morning hurting again to you.
Speaker 3: And that's and that's the then.
Speaker 1: You know what, I can't express to you that when
Speaker 1: I say I generally wake up hurting, I generally wake
Speaker 1: up hurting.
Speaker 3: It hurts. It hurts. I don't want to hurt anymore too.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hurt anymore. I received I received
Speaker 3: a really sweet happy birthday video from ten years boys
Speaker 3: and they're both saying the marions. I was actually really
Speaker 3: happy for them, just picturing them, picturing them. I was
Speaker 3: happy for them.
Speaker 1: All the all the youngsters have seen the victories yeah,
Speaker 1: oh last year maybe, but still in general they see
Speaker 1: more victories than losses, haven't they. Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in particular Bunkers. I would say, and look
Speaker 2: if you don't, if you don't evolve, you die, right,
Speaker 2: that's what Slady's done. But didn't.
Speaker 1: Oh he is, he doesn't. He's Australian, He's not the
Speaker 1: Australian number sex.
Speaker 3: I saw some footage from school boys from about six
Speaker 3: seven years ago, twenty sixteen maybe more, maybe twenty sixteen,
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 1: Sixteen Tom did and Steve Crichton. Really school boys. Who's
Speaker 1: the other one? They're tearing it up in the Grand
Speaker 1: final up there with coins that yeah the kids. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Steve Crichton went to Blackdown and position Brothers and they
Speaker 1: played Cooper Park High in the in the Grand final
Speaker 1: up there.
Speaker 3: Someone else in team front remember.
Speaker 1: There was someone else in Crichton's team. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if it was Busy, but there was someone else who's
Speaker 1: played with from the first grade. And that particular team
Speaker 1: that Cooper Park that was stacked there.
Speaker 2: They were half keeper still pulls out.
Speaker 1: Really that team Nicholas saying there was about six Broncos
Speaker 1: in that team. So yeah, no, no, no is a Coobra.
Speaker 1: And there's another school with Benjie Marshall went to. Which
Speaker 1: school mar that's on the Gold Coast? I think too, Yes,
Speaker 1: there's super coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Keepra Parks the main they're not even they just
Speaker 2: produce the best players, are they?
Speaker 3: The cup Feld club for feeder school for Broncos? What is?
Speaker 2: I think? So? Yeah? But they going to Burley like
Speaker 2: all the community clubs get kids from there. Sunny Bank
Speaker 2: I used to be a big one. Oh Palm Beach
Speaker 2: is yeah, well you know. And I was going to say,
Speaker 2: before we move on from stead of origin, like because
Speaker 2: Shane Croy's meat like has seen footy as long as
Speaker 2: I have, but all he's older than me. But and
Speaker 2: Corey couldn't understand why would just go on and on
Speaker 2: about Gallon Like from that I just really dislike him.
Speaker 2: And right at the end, I don't know if you
Speaker 2: guys called it. I sent it to you Nick talking
Speaker 2: about the fight and Gallant was just so gross. He
Speaker 2: was just talking to Sunny Bell and he's like, you're
Speaker 2: a week gotta die. And I said to Gray, that
Speaker 2: is literally that h.
Speaker 3: Street hopping up a boring fight next Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: I hope Sunny Bell wins, but I was just like
Speaker 2: that just reminded me of what Gallon we.
Speaker 3: Question because obviously into your place. You're about fifteen twenty
Speaker 3: minutes away from Gold Coast Stadium, right, is that where
Speaker 3: Krarra Stadium was or was it in a different spot.
Speaker 2: No, Carrara's the NFL one, so Carrara is probably ten
Speaker 2: minutes in like, and then gold Coaster is down the highway,
Speaker 2: so it's gone fifteen.
Speaker 3: I went to Krra Stadium towards Kiss in two thousand
Speaker 3: and one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I used to live opposite there, so I could.
Speaker 2: I could. It used to be across the river because
Speaker 2: I used to live it on the river and I
Speaker 2: would sit on my balcon now listen to like Queen.
Speaker 2: When Queen came a few years like, I got I
Speaker 2: don't need to need to pay for anything. I just
Speaker 2: sit up there.
Speaker 3: We got there like eight o'clock in the morning. He
Speaker 3: told me that you still had We had four two
Speaker 3: leter coke bottles that were mixed with bourbon and a
Speaker 3: little bit of cocaine, which we made Katherine carry. And no,
Speaker 3: that was a great day.
Speaker 2: It's one of the it's besides.
Speaker 3: Friday two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, despite the fact that it holds a lot of NFL,
Speaker 2: which I don't like. It's a brilliant stadium.
Speaker 3: But it is still there. There is it? Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's still there.
Speaker 2: People's first stadium.
Speaker 3: I want to get past it. And when I come
Speaker 3: up next to.
Speaker 2: It was probably Driver.
Speaker 3: I was there afar from her good Friday two thousand
Speaker 3: and one. I thought I thought the new stadium replaced that.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it was still there.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so and then the Boys' school is like just opposite.
Speaker 3: I've got to go and see it because that was
Speaker 3: that was a great day, and that was twenty four
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 2: It's still They hold so many concerts there. Their acoustics
Speaker 2: are amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's around, it's around, it's around oval. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: like a rectangle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We got into our spot at about eleven thirty
Speaker 3: in the morning. That's a long day. And wait, wait,
Speaker 3: wait until the show started like eight or nine. Anyway,
Speaker 3: let's move on to Round seventeen. The round that was
Speaker 3: results watch first game in the round, Bulldogs went down
Speaker 3: eighteen points to twenty two against the Broncos. Tanny and George,
Speaker 3: you both want to talk about maybe your dad both
Speaker 3: want to talk about this one first team what happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very interesting, very very interesting scenario. Canby sort
Speaker 1: of started on like a house on fire. I don't
Speaker 1: really think they did. I think Brisbane were a little
Speaker 1: bit down and obviously they were Origin depleted, but you
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 3: Both teams were missing. Yeah, four teams were missing Origin
Speaker 3: players that round. Yeah.
Speaker 1: For the first half and the first fifteen minutes of
Speaker 1: the second half, Canriby were trying really hard and they
Speaker 1: weren't succeeding to go in cycle and Brisbane didn't like it.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see winning. Yeahyeah, yeah, they were
Speaker 1: trying hard to play their game. That's what trying to say.
Speaker 1: They're trying hard to play cycle and Brisbane didn't really
Speaker 1: enjoy playing cycle. For someone man reason about I don't know.
Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes in the second half, mistakes started. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to talk about Galvin coming on and disrupting the
Speaker 1: flow of the team. And then Brisbane started getting more
Speaker 1: sets starts. The minute Brisbane started playing their game and
Speaker 1: started playing set start rugby league or everything changed. Everything
Speaker 1: changed Canary Kitchens kept on missing tackles Israel Man.
Speaker 3: This time he's passing game, not his running game.
Speaker 1: Just kept on, just kept on putting his men on
Speaker 1: the outside shoulders and absolutely ripped candy.
Speaker 3: Can I just say something because we were talking about
Speaker 3: this a month ago, right, and when when Ezra Man
Speaker 3: came back and he was getting booed still, and I
Speaker 3: kept saying, wait till he scores a few tries and
Speaker 3: then and then see if they're doing him or not,
Speaker 3: which they saw it that night. They were, they were.
Speaker 1: Actually he has actually been outstanding that if we want
Speaker 1: to talk about his because you brought it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they booed him, and that doesn't matter, big deal, not
Speaker 1: the broncos he was booed and you up there as well.
Speaker 1: I don't think he is he booted now then he
Speaker 1: stopped stop anyway regards of that played up there since
Speaker 1: that night, the last one we played up there.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about after this game. Oh yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: once he clicked in the year, yeah, yeahs disappeared this game.
Speaker 3: It probably did, yeah, probably did. I really don't wan
Speaker 3: to talk about but I don't care about that.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the nast incident where the
Speaker 1: Bulldogs fans were throwing full bottles at Israelman. You know what,
Speaker 1: you pay your money, you go into the stadium. You
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want. I don't care. You can
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. You do whatever you want.
Speaker 3: But for God's sake, because can support fans, George Bulldogs fans. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's not trying to say that's wouldn't wouldn't know about it.
Speaker 3: You don't know. But they win, they win, they win
Speaker 3: a club game. I mean, you think they've won to
Speaker 3: a final? Bell Moore gets shut down. This is Nicola.
Speaker 3: I'm on your side. This is what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: allude to. That's what I'm trying to lose to. They've
Speaker 3: always been like that. I allude to. You know what,
Speaker 3: when it's wrong, it's wrong.
Speaker 1: I said, like I said, if you want to, if
Speaker 1: you want to pay your money, but good, that's up
Speaker 1: to you. That that's fine. But for God's sake, guys,
Speaker 1: and I'm a canny supporter. Forgot's sake, you're embarrassing. You're embarrassing,
Speaker 1: embarrassing me.
Speaker 2: And also Bulldogs number one on the list for most scandals.
Speaker 2: I know because I looked into it.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the absolutely, the worst thing I ever did is
Speaker 3: as a fan. It's a long time ago, in a
Speaker 3: galaxy far far away. It was only against my own team,
Speaker 3: which Dean still reminds me about, by the way, was
Speaker 3: that I took my jersey after threw it onto the
Speaker 3: field because I was pissed off. Back then, I could
Speaker 3: leave the stadium without a shirt. I couldn't do that now.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's probably the worst thing I've done as
Speaker 3: a fan. That's it.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've even done that. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever anyone. Honestly, I don't think I've ever boot anyone.
Speaker 1: But in regards to that.
Speaker 2: Mags has just got a bit. He's getting a bit
Speaker 2: more confidence. He's making similar moves that Billy like Delawi's. Howder.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys remember him. He played
Speaker 2: I think one game in twenty twenty three, a few
Speaker 2: games in twenty twenty two. He's supposed to get signed
Speaker 2: to the end of twenty four, but he's been in
Speaker 2: que Cup and he's been playing weirs. I try to
Speaker 2: remember his name, and I was saying to the guys
Speaker 2: when he scored the try, I was like, do you remember,
Speaker 2: and I was like, actually, no, you guys wouldn't because
Speaker 2: I was watching it quite avidly my whole life. And
Speaker 2: they kind of just started watching it as much because
Speaker 2: I'm forcing them to. And that was brilliant. So he's
Speaker 2: comeback into Broncos and just Mags is clever. He's actually
Speaker 2: got a bit of headway with the guys. I think
Speaker 2: he's got a bit of buy in with them too.
Speaker 2: But again we were flat for the first half and
Speaker 2: then he must have I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, the minute, the minute, the minute, the minute that
Speaker 1: they got into their game and the Broncos they started
Speaker 1: playing the set start rugby league.
Speaker 3: We had nothing.
Speaker 1: We we we crumbled and and there's there's not a
Speaker 1: blame it on Paul the youngster, the gal but and
Speaker 1: that's something they've got to sort out and they will
Speaker 1: sort out. And if you know, if they do well
Speaker 1: that they't do well. I don't know. But this was
Speaker 1: this will make no mistake.
Speaker 3: This was This was.
Speaker 1: Broncos just slowly every game, slowly getting better, getting better,
Speaker 1: and a victory like this. Can you imagine how much
Speaker 1: it galvanized them. I feel sorry for the top.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Galvin impact, how to do it.
Speaker 3: Galvin's performance himself. I think it's it's putting other people off. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's that's what I'm here, and I'm not just talking.
Speaker 3: And they're sorting that out now anyway, Moving plays on
Speaker 3: and it's.
Speaker 2: Like it's like them thing, get over it, like everyone
Speaker 2: needs to just get like, you know, we all got
Speaker 2: a bit hitd about the Galvin thing. But a young
Speaker 2: kid and so is Ezra like s leave him alone.
Speaker 3: I said that from day one.
Speaker 1: I told, I told, I think it was Tuesday, somebody
Speaker 1: somebody around me who loves rugby league and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to avoid talking about Isra if we don't if we
Speaker 1: talk league, let's talk rug the league, anything else I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about.
Speaker 3: But I said to him this and this is this
Speaker 3: is the fact. Don't don't hate the player.
Speaker 1: If you want to, if you want to protest, do
Speaker 1: it to Queensland Police or the Queensland judicial system or
Speaker 1: the NA or the Broncos. The youngster just did something
Speaker 1: and paid the price.
Speaker 3: That's it. Move on.
Speaker 1: And I don't like what he did either, and I
Speaker 1: think you should have got longer, but you know what
Speaker 1: it's done.
Speaker 3: Now, let's move on.
Speaker 2: Well, I was talking to I'm talking a birdie the
Speaker 2: other day and God, that was fun messaging him this morning.
Speaker 2: You watch the game. I didn't watch it either, and
Speaker 2: he was just like mate, like he's like everyone's with is,
Speaker 2: like everyone just needs to move on. He's like yeah,
Speaker 2: and he's great. Decisions, a decision, It's done.
Speaker 3: That's what I say. Now.
Speaker 1: You know what if I could, if I was salty,
Speaker 1: if I can forget about it and move on because
Speaker 1: I love watching good rugby league, let's just let's just
Speaker 1: let's just move on. God, And again again, I'll say
Speaker 1: it again. This is this is this is the crutch
Speaker 1: of it, and we've moved it off the game. Stupidmotion
Speaker 1: brought it up. If you want to pay your money
Speaker 1: and boo, I don't care, don't care boo for anyone
Speaker 1: but God's sake.
Speaker 3: Don't throw bottles or get violent with somebody, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 1: Anyway, this was this was none of not only a
Speaker 1: victory for the Broncos, but it's a galbiz in victory
Speaker 1: for the Broncos.
Speaker 3: And just what's what's happened from round one?
Speaker 1: Slowly, slowly but slowly, little increments just to keep on
Speaker 1: improving and there's another I think nine or ten rounds
Speaker 1: are two and hopefully when they make the semis will
Speaker 1: come to a crescendo. That's what Marge. That's how big
Speaker 1: building our team. Speaking of moving on, thists, move on
Speaker 1: to the next one. Let's move on, right, there's twenty
Speaker 1: eight points to twenty four over the Dragons in a
Speaker 1: tight one. Young Flanno copped a whole bunch of shit
Speaker 1: once again, and Sticky defended him in the presser. We're
Speaker 1: talking not the game. Yeah, what were your guys thoughts
Speaker 1: on that? Okay, let's let's let's go a little bit back.
Speaker 1: So we got to find unless you blakes know the
Speaker 1: origin of the story.
Speaker 3: Now I've got I've just got one if I can
Speaker 3: give you. Right, Ricky Stewart, I mean, Ricky Stewart takes indiciance.
Speaker 3: He gets to attack the media, right, I don't. I
Speaker 3: don't think the media is to blame. Yeah, right, here goes.
Speaker 3: I think it's disgusting and disgraceful. How you blokes, typic
Speaker 3: call Ricky Stewart. The media they're reporting on Kyle Flanagan
Speaker 3: the way they report on any player. What's disgusting and
Speaker 3: disgraceful is what's happening on social media because as we
Speaker 3: all know, that comes from faceless morons. Right, anyone can
Speaker 3: say anying on social media, but when when you're talking
Speaker 3: about rugby league media, no one. I haven't seen anyone
Speaker 3: criticize Kyle Flanagan in any other capacity other than his
Speaker 3: performance as a footballer in alignment with any or every
Speaker 3: other player in the game, like no one's no one's.
Speaker 3: No one in the let's call it official media, right
Speaker 3: that I've seen has taken a swipe at nepotism or
Speaker 3: anything like that. Or you know, the kid hasn't cut
Speaker 3: it really anywhere he's been. He really hasn't right, And
Speaker 3: that's that's what they're reporting on. So I don't know
Speaker 3: why Ricky Stewart Didney scr right, he did put it.
Speaker 3: I'll make it he played bad, he didn't play bad.
Speaker 3: I'll make it really easy for you.
Speaker 1: I think I think the fans are bowning or something
Speaker 1: were they I don't know, but probably I'll make it easy.
Speaker 1: So what put him on? Put him on the market.
Speaker 1: Remember Tobe Sex. They had to go to France put
Speaker 1: him on the market. Do you think there'll be one
Speaker 1: takernly a club.
Speaker 3: He'll take take. But you contradicted yourself to them. You
Speaker 3: did because just two weeks ago you sat here and
Speaker 3: go tab sex and Kenny Cannabury is nothing. Now he's
Speaker 3: a million dollar player France. No I wanted to don't
Speaker 3: want him wanting exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay, but what's the story with Okay.
Speaker 3: This is how, this is how it happened.
Speaker 1: There's there's there's one young man on social media, okay,
Speaker 1: and he's a very color he's very colorful. But but
Speaker 1: he not only Carl Saint George is a massive St.
Speaker 1: George supporter, a massive, massive George supporter, and he talks
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 3: But see Flanner can't handle the But before even before that,
Speaker 3: what it boils down to is Shane Flanagan dropped Lachlan idiots,
Speaker 3: but he hasn't dropped his son, right and and when
Speaker 3: they win, it's okay, But when they lose, the fans
Speaker 3: go straight to that. You know, it was a lot
Speaker 3: like Jacob Arthur at Paramatta. He copped a lot of
Speaker 3: the same. I was one of his biggest critics. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry to say, the kid just didn't cut it, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? So, and I agree with what
Speaker 3: Gordon Taylor said, which is really rare because because I
Speaker 3: don't think he's the sharpest tool and he shed but
Speaker 3: but he's he's right when he said, Kyle Fanaghan needs
Speaker 3: the leaves and George you need to go and play
Speaker 3: somewhere where you're not you're not coached by your father
Speaker 3: and and then you get coached on merrit you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: You know I agree with that too. Now now apparently
Speaker 1: like he's killing it in h in reserve grade. But
Speaker 1: you know what if he comes up, what doesn't come up?
Speaker 1: That's to me, that's not the issue. My issue. My issue.
Speaker 1: My question is this is call the best half back
Speaker 1: in the club? For get forget? Is he a first grader?
Speaker 1: I think he's a first grader. I can see him
Speaker 1: as a number A fourteen for off the bench a
Speaker 1: lot now to run a team, to run a team,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see like you're doing.
Speaker 1: I want a lot of you. King Tonga can do
Speaker 1: it better. There's a that's his name, or there's a
Speaker 1: there's a kid in reserve next to you. Apparently I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's only but what I've seen he looks too good.
Speaker 1: So that's my that's my argument. So that's that's the
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thing to tea. There's a kid
Speaker 1: in a social media who's really cutting, cutting through and
Speaker 1: he does it in a colorful way.
Speaker 3: But you know what he played? Sorry does the kid play?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, so he has no idea about pressure and
Speaker 2: he just probably not.
Speaker 3: But what's what's what's what's pressure got to do with
Speaker 3: the thing is?
Speaker 2: Okay? So Cleary hasn't been playing well? Is I haven't
Speaker 2: going to get rid of him Walters like you know,
Speaker 2: his dad was a coach, you get like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, you know, you know what. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: get rid of our Carl, but he can lose his will.
Speaker 1: I don't really care. I don't care about George.
Speaker 2: I actually don't care, like I think. I think it's
Speaker 2: nice to see the kids come through. And I feel
Speaker 2: like I didn't think Walters was very hard on Billy.
Speaker 3: But I feel like he's playing he's playing will now, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly, But I feel like I think Walters was hard
Speaker 2: on anyone. Actually he should have been harder, but you're
Speaker 2: if you're playing for your dad, I can imagine if
Speaker 2: your dad was Ricky Stewart. Holy crap, and I wonder.
Speaker 3: Why he's pay That's.
Speaker 2: What I mean. So I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 2: of crap being thrown at the younger players, and that's
Speaker 2: just not lately. It's not right.
Speaker 1: You know, what's silly anyone responding to it. There's a
Speaker 1: young there's a young man speaking his mind talking truths
Speaker 1: about Saint George.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I don't I know.
Speaker 2: Nick is not a fan of Ricky Shutt. I love
Speaker 2: him and I actually think it's very commendable for a
Speaker 2: few reasons. One, he not only beat the Dragons, but
Speaker 2: two he is a father talking to another father. And
Speaker 2: also I have heard from talking two players I know
Speaker 2: that have been in the big games, how much crap
Speaker 2: just gets slung at them all the time.
Speaker 3: Let me stop you right there. I was a huge
Speaker 3: fan of Ricky Stewart during his playing career. Huge fan.
Speaker 3: He's one of my favorite halfbacks. That Canberra team of
Speaker 3: the late eighties early nineties, one of my second probably
Speaker 3: my second favorite team of all time. What I can't
Speaker 3: stand about Ricky Stewart is as a coach, he's the
Speaker 3: biggest window in the history of the game, and every
Speaker 3: time he says something in the press conference he goes, well,
Speaker 3: I can't say because you guys call me a winger.
Speaker 3: That's because you're a fucking winger. Right. He's the most
Speaker 3: fined coach in the history of the game because he
Speaker 3: winges right, and he even when he wins and everything
Speaker 3: is good, he.
Speaker 1: Finds a way to criticize everyone else.
Speaker 3: It's great, you know what I mean, And he.
Speaker 1: Irritates, and that irritates the crap out of it.
Speaker 3: He won a wouldn't spoon. He won a premiership in
Speaker 3: his first season as a coach in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3: Do your homework if you don't remember it in a
Speaker 3: team that Graham Murray built in the previous three years.
Speaker 3: Georgia in my wrong. So everyone knows when a coach
Speaker 3: wins in their first year it's a fluke, right, which
Speaker 3: he did. He's been coaching ever since. How many years,
Speaker 3: twenty three years? He's won nothing, nothing? Right.
Speaker 1: He won a wouldn't spoon, a canal, he won a
Speaker 1: wouldn't spoon in Paramatta.
Speaker 2: How many coaches now are standing on the sideline.
Speaker 3: He only does that when it's time for contract with
Speaker 3: news right, and then as soon as he gets extended,
Speaker 3: he'll go back up to the box. You know why
Speaker 3: he did that. I'll give you a perfect analogy. Do
Speaker 3: you remember a long time ago when Brad Fitler took
Speaker 3: over his caretaking coach for the Roosters, and they gave
Speaker 3: him a full time role, right, he cares for about
Speaker 3: a year and a half. He won a wooden spoon, right,
Speaker 3: and then they sacked him. Right. Philer has always had
Speaker 3: this thing. And I've met Philer one hundred times, you
Speaker 3: know through Andrew Right, nice guy, no issues. But but
Speaker 3: Philer's Fittler, Right, he knows he's got a profile, and
Speaker 3: he's got that cool, calm and collected thing about him. Right,
Speaker 3: so as a rookie coach, and you can't blame him
Speaker 3: because he was a rookie coach. Right. They started the
Speaker 3: TV commentators and you might remember this teen started saying
Speaker 3: he's always cool, calm and collected, no matter what. So
Speaker 3: what does so what does that mean? That means that
Speaker 3: now even when he doesn't want to be, he starts
Speaker 3: acting cool, calm and collected because that's the reputation he's got,
Speaker 3: just the same way Bellamy's got a reputation for god nuts, right.
Speaker 3: So as soon as the media starts saying, oh, look
Speaker 3: at Ricky Stewart, you know he's on the side of
Speaker 3: Even if he doesn't want to go to the sideliner,
Speaker 3: he does because he's going to maintain that that thing, right.
Speaker 2: But that's fine.
Speaker 3: Ricky Stewart. Ricky Stewart is a puppet team man. He's
Speaker 3: an actor. He plays up for the camera, right. He's
Speaker 3: very different behind closed doors than what.
Speaker 2: But he has people talking about him and that's the whole.
Speaker 1: Because he's a winter I don't watch presses, approbably tells me,
Speaker 1: I don't watch. The one thing irritates me about him
Speaker 1: the most is and he still says it. He said
Speaker 1: it this year. I don't think he has gone by way.
Speaker 1: He hasn't said it.
Speaker 3: He goes because we're going to come in here and
Speaker 3: we're forced to come in here and do this. You're
Speaker 3: a first grade, full time professional fucking coach. Doing the
Speaker 3: press conference is part of the giar. If you haven't
Speaker 3: worked that out after twenty five years of coaching, shut up,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. He's still winging about it.
Speaker 3: It's a Job's part of the job.
Speaker 2: Let's go can win because he's a captain, but Ricky
Speaker 2: can't as much.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? What's Teddy wings about?
Speaker 2: Last time? And I said, every time something happens, Teddy
Speaker 2: always wins. And you're like, that's his job.
Speaker 1: He's the captain on the field job you mean on
Speaker 1: the field, but he goes up to the race. How
Speaker 1: many times have you heard him wins off the field?
Speaker 1: Give me one, Give me one.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't lessen even if you.
Speaker 3: Don't have one, you don't have one. Anyway, he still
Speaker 3: irritates me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2: At the beginning.
Speaker 1: Anyway, this game Raiders versus the Dragons, I'll be very short,
Speaker 1: it's really good. When you're not playing really well and
Speaker 1: you probably should have lost this game and you win,
Speaker 1: that signs of a half decent.
Speaker 3: He's doing a great job with the Raiders. He's doing
Speaker 3: an awesome job with that team. He's doing a good
Speaker 3: an awesome job with that team.
Speaker 1: So look, they played well for the first fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: like they do all the time, the Raiders, and they
Speaker 1: got into the lead, and and St. George started playing
Speaker 1: some good stuff and maybe over the eighty minutes and
Speaker 1: which possibly was the better team but you know.
Speaker 3: What, when with the exceptions store all close games, they're
Speaker 3: all close games. In the next one storms twenty six
Speaker 3: points to twenty out of the Cowboys in Townsville, you're
Speaker 3: more Birdie?
Speaker 2: Can I Can I just say about this game? Because
Speaker 2: I was like, if Bellamy was my coach and I
Speaker 2: because he's never happy, he's actually never happy, And I
Speaker 2: was spending a lot of the time celebrating tries by dancing,
Speaker 2: I would not be doing that because I would expect
Speaker 2: Bellamy to complete. I was, so, you guys, know.
Speaker 3: What have you got? I think it's a paramount plus.
Speaker 3: Have you got it? Yeah? Have you seen? Have you
Speaker 3: seen the Bellamie? No, you have to watch it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yes, I was because I was waiting.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, we need to watch the press
Speaker 2: conference because I wanted to see even though they won,
Speaker 2: because he flipped out at one point. I just found
Speaker 2: that so entertaining. But Nick, mean, he's doing his dance
Speaker 2: also slightly offensive. Don't imitate Indonesian people, but anyway, that's say,
Speaker 2: Nick Meani's doing this viral TikTok dancing what these kids
Speaker 2: do in Indonesia. But I'm just like, you just need
Speaker 2: to not do that when you are you look like
Speaker 2: a very private schoolboy from Australia.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I was like, they're dancing after tries, but they're
Speaker 5: not winning that well, it's not like the Tigers Melbourne game.
Speaker 2: Keep playing. I don't know if you guys know what
Speaker 2: is I got the biggest it with the whole of
Speaker 2: Melbourne team watching.
Speaker 3: You've got to watch that documentary on Belody. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: really how boys won. This game takes inside his house
Speaker 3: and everything. It's very it's a very inside private look
Speaker 3: into him that you haven't seen before on this game.
Speaker 1: To Melbourne's got this bad habit of coming out of
Speaker 1: the gates like a bull in the game, looking sensational
Speaker 1: and then dropping off. Now, if it happened one game,
Speaker 1: if it happened ten games, maybe, but it's happens it's
Speaker 1: around one.
Speaker 3: It's a habit now.
Speaker 1: Now I'm sure that I'm sure super coach Bellimy will
Speaker 1: straighten it out and when they get into the semi
Speaker 1: final semi finals will be all straightened out.
Speaker 3: But it is a habit, you know. We're talking about
Speaker 3: around with no rep players too. Both teams both obviously.
Speaker 2: They didn't have didn't though Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
Speaker 2: I just I like Look, I like Storm, but I'm
Speaker 2: kind of sick of hearing about Storm. I wouldn't say, like,
Speaker 2: we'll probably see them in the Grand Final. But there
Speaker 2: are such there are other teams that are better, you
Speaker 2: know out there.
Speaker 1: Like they play very unique, very unique style. They play
Speaker 1: us a style that's made to win games. You can't
Speaker 1: even say they are a very aggressive Arabia League team.
Speaker 1: The Fods are not very aggressive, but they're very touchy
Speaker 1: feely around the rock.
Speaker 3: With the ball and it's all on the ground. They
Speaker 3: got to win the ground.
Speaker 1: But look, they do what they do. He's been doing
Speaker 1: it for twenty years now, it's.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and three.
Speaker 2: So so yeah, he's so much fun to But Storm one,
Speaker 2: I felt like they were just stuffing around because if
Speaker 2: I was a coach, I had been so.
Speaker 3: One of the funniest things was I was here. It
Speaker 3: was the night that Melbourne beat Penrith in the first
Speaker 3: of Penrith's five Grand Finals from COVID. I watched it here.
Speaker 3: It was green, Mum were here, right, and I'll never
Speaker 3: forget that night. That's the night where you can find
Speaker 3: it on YouTube the last six minutes just typing Bellamy.
Speaker 3: Six minutes and the last six minutes of the game.
Speaker 3: The camera's on him and he's going kicking chairs and anyway,
Speaker 3: Melbourne win and you see him come down onto the field.
Speaker 3: I remember this and camera Smith runs up to him
Speaker 3: to give him a huggin. While they're hugging, Bellamy's still
Speaker 3: screaming they have just won the Grand Final, right and
Speaker 3: the Bellamie still screaming about something. It's the best early Belly.
Speaker 2: There was a game I think Storm played. I can't
Speaker 2: remember who they played. They won, of course, and Monster
Speaker 2: was just being really cheeky and he's in the in
Speaker 2: the sheds and Monsters like got his shirt off and
Speaker 2: he's talking to Bellamy and Bellamy kind of comes in
Speaker 2: and Mons is like, hey, like this real cheeky with Bellamy.
Speaker 2: Just do I love Monster? He's great for that.
Speaker 3: But have you heard have you heard that footage where
Speaker 3: they recorded him when they rang Bellamy? Yes, and you
Speaker 3: want to hit you on the podcast? Yeah he gets
Speaker 3: away with murder that.
Speaker 2: Like, Storm are a fun team, but I think what
Speaker 2: a Cowboys twelfth like? I just I think I just
Speaker 2: when I watched them, like even I'm scared of bellow me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I mean, Tiger's thirty points to twenty eight
Speaker 3: over the Roosters, no one saw that coming. They're a
Speaker 3: better team without Lua.
Speaker 1: Without I think this is more about when a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys get together and really want to prove a
Speaker 1: point for the for their coach, and this is what
Speaker 1: this is what happens. Don't forget Roosters a little bit
Speaker 1: depleted before Origin and so was Tigers were missing Lewis
Speaker 1: Buller and cars and injury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I will.
Speaker 2: I will say sorry with I just want to do
Speaker 2: a bit of a shout out. So one of Meg's
Speaker 2: team members, Monica her brother, and Lauras Tristan Hope. Okay,
Speaker 2: so we and he started we'll actually played the first
Speaker 2: game this year. He's played one game. Yeah, they've played
Speaker 2: the first game this year for Tigers. And then his
Speaker 2: second game was back and they kept talking about him
Speaker 2: and he was so I don't know if he was
Speaker 2: the hooker for Tigers. So mad to shout out.
Speaker 3: To what's the relationship there?
Speaker 2: So Meg, who you've met her staff member? It's Monica's brother.
Speaker 3: Okay, so.
Speaker 1: He's he's the is he is he that is he
Speaker 1: a young man?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Sorry, Yeah, so they let they let a hooker go,
Speaker 3: which what's his name again?
Speaker 1: They let the silver go because they knew they had
Speaker 1: this kid. And it's sort of more married up, more
Speaker 1: with Appy Timeline apparently. So apparently he's a he's a
Speaker 1: very good regular leg And I saw him playing and.
Speaker 3: I thought it was I thought it was sold I
Speaker 3: thought he was solid. He was good.
Speaker 2: He's everywhere and it comes from Queensland.
Speaker 3: Is another Queensland a great so is Bully. You know
Speaker 3: the Bullets of Queensland sounds great English.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look a little bit clunky the Roosters and a
Speaker 1: few mistakes. Unfortunately, Teddy was amazing and kept him in
Speaker 1: the in the game. It was exciting. It was exciting. Uh,
Speaker 1: West were the better team on the day. West were
Speaker 1: a bit of team on the day. I know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen this week, but the Broncos this week?
Speaker 1: Ten No, No, the who's.
Speaker 3: The Tiger's got this week? We're going to get there anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tigers are Warriors, the.
Speaker 3: Warriors probably and then in the in the last game,
Speaker 3: mainly see you're thirty points to twelve over the Rabbit os.
Speaker 2: Mmmm.
Speaker 3: That was I'll tell you what. The Rabbits. I know
Speaker 3: they've had massive interrupt disruptions with injuries and all the
Speaker 3: rest of it, but they should not be where they are.
Speaker 3: I mean, Jack White and came over as a you know,
Speaker 3: camera offered him a million dollars a year to stay.
Speaker 3: He was a huge marquee signing and he's been just nothing. Disappointed.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: I Patrol hasn't played enough. I don't yet, I don't.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's happening. A lot of the Rabbits,
Speaker 1: A lot of injuries I sent.
Speaker 2: Back to US. I know he's injured, but he was
Speaker 2: not injured a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's out of favor with super coach there.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's happening with the Rabbits. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. I'll sit on them. I'll sit on
Speaker 1: this year. I have no idea. I don't like that
Speaker 1: they rushed back Brandon.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Talk of the game, isn't it? Yeah for six weeks. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's not as bad as not as bad, but it's
Speaker 3: obviously they rushed him back. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe he got cleared by by medical but there's just
Speaker 1: something off this year there. So I want to put
Speaker 1: that in the Rabbits in the two hard basket, a
Speaker 1: game that never really got into into any great heights.
Speaker 1: But what what I do like is one thing, and
Speaker 1: he shows maturity. Tommy in the Senners is an interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting composition because what he does. Remember how back in
Speaker 1: the day Senners would swing around and play together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Tommy's brought that back.
Speaker 1: Tommy swings around and plays left and comes around and
Speaker 1: plays right. And even the commentators, because they don't see this, say,
Speaker 1: look Tommy's on the left, and look Tommy's on the right.
Speaker 3: Now you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I find it interesting and what that actually does
Speaker 1: because the kids haven't haven't seen that. The defensive lines
Speaker 1: are thrown off because you know you're you're marking. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Katala, And all of a sudden there's Tommy
Speaker 1: and Kata swinging together. So and and he even as
Speaker 1: a dummy runners as a foil to others, he tracks defenders.
Speaker 1: So I like, I like that, but Tommy and kit
Speaker 1: are swinging together. Let's keep this. I shouldn't say that
Speaker 1: He's been on my mind thinking this should be the
Speaker 1: origin a number seven when when yourself fast? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I like that, but again has never gone into any heights.
Speaker 1: I don't know who mainly is playing because I think
Speaker 1: I'm going to ride off. We get the rabbit o
Speaker 1: season for next year. I think I'm gonna for this year.
Speaker 3: The Warriors, Panthers, Dolphins, Sharks, Knights, Eels, Titans or the
Speaker 3: by What about there's is it a forster Well mutual
Speaker 3: agreement agreement?
Speaker 1: Yeah, look that we won't unfortunately we won't see there's
Speaker 1: again everybody knows on this pot that he's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite coaches.
Speaker 3: But I think.
Speaker 1: Timers time has a father time has slipped slipped away.
Speaker 1: I do find it intriguing that if there's has I
Speaker 1: can't fix, uh the Titans, there's going to be something
Speaker 1: really really deeply entrenched in that in that club, not
Speaker 1: that team, that club which I don't I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but look, I hope they find the
Speaker 1: right coach because I've got a soze spot for the Titans.
Speaker 1: I think they've got a great roster, a really good roster.
Speaker 1: So I hope they find the right person. T you've
Speaker 1: been from up there, who do you think will fit
Speaker 1: the Titans profile in terms of coaching.
Speaker 2: I think it's a really toxic culture in that club.
Speaker 2: So even if you had someone awesome going there, you'd
Speaker 2: need someone like you'd need like a heavy hitter that
Speaker 2: wouldn't take ship from their management.
Speaker 1: So you need a Marge top of guy. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Brad Arthur top a guy won to do the trick.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe, But you need someone that's they either they
Speaker 2: want a puppet, but they need someone that's like a Bellamy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: It's it's just that they've got so many issues in there,
Speaker 2: like they don't treat their guy as well.
Speaker 3: So it does come from the top, you're suggesting you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I find it. I find it intriguing. I
Speaker 1: look at the list and I say, this is not
Speaker 1: this list is not a bottom three list, No way,
Speaker 1: it's a top eight list.
Speaker 2: Well it's even you know, like because I told you guys,
Speaker 2: and I didn't go into it too much, but I
Speaker 2: was on the board for the Tigers right the Gold
Speaker 2: Coast one and just really not very well managed that board,
Speaker 2: like Nick knows a lot about it, and they lost
Speaker 2: the A grade coach that was brilliant that his great
Speaker 2: birds mate and who I've helped, you know, kind of transition,
Speaker 2: and he's awesome, like Jason Williams is amazing, and they
Speaker 2: just don't have players normal play their last score they
Speaker 2: played Burley two weeks ago, one hundred and twenty to
Speaker 2: Neil No. No, I'll send you guys like they have
Speaker 2: lost what sixty eight nail, ninety four nil. They've they've
Speaker 2: been losing, Like Zach Walsh was playing their recee's brother
Speaker 2: for a little bit at the beginning of the year
Speaker 2: and I was like, mate, like, and it's just it's
Speaker 2: like a company. It's like if you have a bad
Speaker 2: leadership career, like people aren't they're going to stay for money,
Speaker 2: but they're not going to stay and be loyal. It's
Speaker 2: it's just, yeah, so you just have whenever I see
Speaker 2: she's also, I said last time, it's not always necessarily
Speaker 2: the coach because the coach is hands are tied to
Speaker 2: a certain point, right, and he does that. He has
Speaker 2: a great roster and you know, from what everything I've heard,
Speaker 2: they or the boys love him, but the issues don't
Speaker 2: come from there.
Speaker 1: So are you suggesting that there's no split between the players,
Speaker 1: and is that what you're suggesting. I find it. Look,
Speaker 1: I find it strange. Everywhere Dessy goes he's a players coach.
Speaker 1: There's nowhere even at the end when it got Graby,
Speaker 1: mainly it was it was the senior management that didn't
Speaker 1: want him, not the player he's.
Speaker 2: He's just been pushed out, like Walters was. I agree
Speaker 2: with the Walters one, but he's just been pushed out.
Speaker 2: There's ways to do it.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know what, I hope they find
Speaker 1: the right coach all that team because of that region
Speaker 1: number one and that roster deserves better than what they
Speaker 1: what they're getting. And I think, and I'm sad to
Speaker 1: say this, I think that's it for Yeah, said he's retiring.
Speaker 3: He's retiring. Yeah, I don't think that may mean he's
Speaker 3: getting a haircut.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, de you never know. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll see Dessy again, unfortunately.

Speaker 1: favorite player Nicole. On last Thursday night, Abby Church absolutely
Speaker 1: ripped for the Sharks.
Speaker 3: I love I love her. She's a fullback. She's this
Speaker 3: little patique girl.
Speaker 1: You think she couldn't do anything, and she's so quick
Speaker 1: and so gutsy. She puts her head where you wouldn't
Speaker 1: put your foot your lover anyway. They beat the highly
Speaker 1: fancied Sharks the Bulldogs their first game. This is their
Speaker 1: first inaugural game. Twenty six beat the Nights twelve. The
Speaker 1: Big Bad Broncos absolutely stacked. They've got the best player
Speaker 1: in the world to make her Upton and sprinkling right through,
Speaker 1: sprinkling of youth and experience, and Broncos will be hard
Speaker 1: to beat.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight.
Speaker 1: The Hatless Tigers are four Saint George Dragons thirty six.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you they're outstanding. They've bought well
Speaker 1: and they've got some gun ill warrior girls. Uh, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be hard to stop. They call
Speaker 1: the Raiders fourteen, the Cowboys, the Cowgirls or the Cowboys twenty.
Speaker 1: The Titans are the Titans six, called Cowgirls from there on,

Speaker 2: like five tries for the Roosters. She started off for
Speaker 2: Eels Nick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she did brilliant.
Speaker 1: I don't wanna, I don't want to watch too much
Speaker 1: of the Roosters because they're a very good team. I
Speaker 1: got this funny feeling they're not gonna win the combat
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Six the has absolutely smashed the Warriors Nicola.
Speaker 1: And like I said, you and I will be covering
Speaker 1: the Paramounta and the Broncos from this week on. We
Speaker 1: we'll probably mention the other teams. Will be going a
Speaker 1: little bit deeper on both teams. So that's that. And besides,
Speaker 1: beside Sloane going to the Panthers, I've got nothing else.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Sloane's going to the Panthers by all the sounds of it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're going to do with
Speaker 1: another I think it is. I've got this gut feeling
Speaker 1: that I don't know why they want Sloan. I think
Speaker 1: they've got to fall back and Wingers, But this gut
Speaker 1: feeling is Panthers. But anyway, uh, that's mainly doing something
Speaker 1: that wraps up for episode sixteen, T can can can
