Speaker 3: and say, oh, Italy are the world champions at you know, volleyball.
Speaker 5: Basketball, basketball, they're playing but or the European Chair, European
Speaker 5: champions and the thorn, the thorn in the Olympia Course.
Speaker 5: So they beat them in last year's final and of
Speaker 5: course in the second semi final in Nicola. But I think,
Speaker 5: of course playing the big spending Monarca team. Every year
Speaker 5: they got a new team, those blogs, and I think
Speaker 5: I think we might have a team in the in
Speaker 5: the finals.
Speaker 3: Man, So let's not forget. In Australia have progressed through
Speaker 3: the knocking out stages of the Tasmanian Wolf throwing competition.
Speaker 5: To the dwarf and.
Speaker 2: Oly Olympia Course won the Great Championship in soccer like that.
Speaker 2: They will crown champions this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah are you a fan? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Well maybe you went for I don't know, never
Speaker 2: made white the White.
Speaker 6: You know, we're feeling a bit disillusioned with league. If
Speaker 6: we're talking about this stuff at the beginning.
Speaker 3: People, how many people have switched off already. Have you
Speaker 3: ever talked some footy.
Speaker 2: Nikka, what's what's in? What's in?
Speaker 3: A something different this week than a real bunker? You're
Speaker 3: right this way kidding. This is the worst weekend of saying.
Speaker 3: This is the worst weekend of saying, like, seriously, it
Speaker 3: just got magic round, became tragic round. It got worse
Speaker 3: by the day. Some of those calls starting with paramattas
Speaker 3: one the guy who was airborne and upside down and
Speaker 3: lender on his head and was penalized for it. Mister
Speaker 3: Moses getting hit off the ball but no symbian. Some
Speaker 3: of the other games again then I you know, during
Speaker 3: the week they came out about the week before and
Speaker 3: said Cronulla got ripped off against the Tigers because they
Speaker 3: should have got a penalty and gold the point because
Speaker 3: the chargedown wasn't square you had. I don't know, I
Speaker 3: have to look back on Fox, but there were some
Speaker 3: howls over the weekend, absolute howls in some of those games.
Speaker 5: They're not good, you know.
Speaker 3: Just before you came on, I shared George. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you watch the Champions League this morning, but
Speaker 3: I shared, George, there was a penalty I said, this
Speaker 3: is how it's done in soccer. I showed him the footage.
Speaker 3: The referee runs to the sideline, looks at the TV,
Speaker 3: watches the replay, makes a care happens in thirty seconds.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 3: No, no bunker, bullshit, a TV on the side of
Speaker 3: the field.
Speaker 5: Know you've told me before how it works. If I've
Speaker 5: now seen it, I love it. I love it the best.
Speaker 3: I also showed him an example of an offside being
Speaker 3: given where they use the digital line yep, and said,
Speaker 3: why can't we use that with forward passes? It's simple
Speaker 3: or quick, even.
Speaker 6: That they had for magic ground. Why can't we just
Speaker 6: have that all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, even even like.
Speaker 5: It's the spot the Spider camp sort the Spider camp.
Speaker 5: Apparently it's really expensive to put in every ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but even you know what, even if we remove
Speaker 3: technology altogether, like with the forward past, most of us,
Speaker 3: you know, fans usually see things the way they want
Speaker 3: to see them. But for the most part, we can
Speaker 3: all see an obvious forward pass. We see the same
Speaker 3: dummy half every week, right, Why can't they just say,
Speaker 3: you know, go to the bunker. If it's obvious to them,
Speaker 3: they'll make a ruling. If not they'll send it back
Speaker 3: to ref's call, which is what's happening anyway. So you
Speaker 3: can just apply a little bit of logic and at
Speaker 3: least eliminate half of you know.
Speaker 6: Money is very money is very like. He's very clue
Speaker 6: with n r L. But he watched all the replays
Speaker 6: because he came back to mine on Monday, even he
Speaker 6: watched that Power Game and all the other games and
Speaker 6: he was like he could see it completely without even
Speaker 6: knowing all the rules. And he's nine, you know, he
Speaker 6: could make the correct call. It's not actually that hard.
Speaker 6: I just we're talking about it before Adie, I didn't
Speaker 6: realize that the NRL like class action is still going on,
Speaker 6: So it makes sense why a lot of it's motivated by,
Speaker 6: you know, the outcome of this potential class action. It
Speaker 6: has been two years, but it's just right.
Speaker 2: Which class in England the rugby union one.
Speaker 5: Actually it's going to go and when he goes, it's
Speaker 5: going to be in favor of the players and the
Speaker 5: rugby in England is chitting their pants. Basically, it's going
Speaker 5: to be a big conversation. It's going to be really
Speaker 5: big payoffs.
Speaker 3: In the Warriors Cowboys game. Sorry, there you go in
Speaker 3: the in the Warriors Cowboys game where the Cowboys almost
Speaker 3: came back, Warriors scored a try where didn't was tackled
Speaker 3: without the ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and no one, no one nothing.
Speaker 3: How did it happened that many times over the weekend?
Speaker 3: It was shameful, honestly, you know it respectfully.
Speaker 6: Like I was watching the I was saying, Adi before
Speaker 6: I watched the nineteen ninety seven Broncos Grand Final with
Speaker 6: the Sharks, and I was watching it with Manny, and
Speaker 6: Manny went was shocked that the ref wasn't calling out
Speaker 6: every single like coat hanger that was happening.
Speaker 5: But wasn't it a better game?
Speaker 3: Team?
Speaker 5: Wasn't it a better game to watch?
Speaker 6: It's such a better game. And also it was faster,
Speaker 6: it was less injuries like everything else. Yeah, but the
Speaker 6: calls were fair, like they were completely fair, whereas now
Speaker 6: we're going bunker, we're going ref, We're going.
Speaker 5: I remind me, was it was that when they had
Speaker 5: to ref on the field? Was it one?
Speaker 6: I think it was only one. You guys need to
Speaker 6: watch it on the weekend, like it's so yeah, son,
Speaker 6: it was like Jersey's.
Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting for a second that the Sharks didn't
Speaker 3: deserve to win the game because they did. I'm just
Speaker 3: saying we could do without these frustrating calls, that's all
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I got so mad. I turned
Speaker 3: it off because I said, I'm just over I'm sick
Speaker 3: of it. And then ten message me ten minutes later
Speaker 3: and she has put it back, put it back line.
Speaker 3: I saw it, and I put it back on just
Speaker 3: in time to see Simonson getting penalized for being airborne
Speaker 3: upside down and landing on his head and if and if,
Speaker 3: and they're saying that he tackled the coronal player in
Speaker 3: the air, Well, then why wasn't a penalty try?
Speaker 6: Yeah, just man, he's talking was he was under him?
Speaker 3: So it's literally like he grabbed a jersey, but he's
Speaker 3: falling down on the back of Like what do you
Speaker 3: want him to do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could have appeared.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, I know. I'm I'm not
Speaker 3: suggesting that, like I said, they impacted the result. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying, we can do without this crap.
Speaker 6: It did. It totally impacts the result because when you
Speaker 6: see the score climbing and climbing, and you have this
Speaker 6: feeling that it's just not going to go your way.
Speaker 6: And and interestingly I said to Money, Manny was like,
Speaker 6: why is during that ninety seven game, He's like, why
Speaker 6: are the rest being so mean to the Broncos? And
Speaker 6: I said, well, back then it was only Broncos. Franks
Speaker 6: was the only Queensland team because I don't think cows
Speaker 6: are around them. And I said, I I watched the
Speaker 6: n r L where we had minimal Queensland teams when
Speaker 6: I was at Manny's age, and I saw how bias
Speaker 6: the refs were to, you know, new South Wales teams.
Speaker 6: I said, that's why when I.
Speaker 3: Forget about the grasshopper, grass, you're forgetting about the grasshopper.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you don't know men.
Speaker 7: Very, come on, you've got to You've got to watch
Speaker 7: the grasshopper.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 5: He was a disgrace.
Speaker 3: It looks like love him, love he looks like Kenny's sister. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying that there's always there's always a
Speaker 6: bias towards a certain games, certain players, certain teams. And
Speaker 6: it was back then. You can't don't tell me back
Speaker 6: in the nineties when you had so many New South
Speaker 6: Wales teams and one or two Queensland teams. It wasn't bias.
Speaker 6: Perhaps I wrong, Lens, but that's.
Speaker 5: Do you do you honestly believe that the old biased
Speaker 5: against the Broncos back in the nineties because that's a
Speaker 5: really good team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had a great team. But even during Origin
Speaker 6: if you I always watch games.
Speaker 3: Had seen the grasshopper grasshopper.
Speaker 6: Looking at it. He's on my screen.
Speaker 3: During Origins where he made his name.
Speaker 5: He he gave penalties whether there was no pedal, there
Speaker 5: was no to give.
Speaker 3: This. Sorry, ten you wouldn't remember this obviously, but I
Speaker 3: think it was the eighty one. It was either the
Speaker 3: eighty one Grand Final or semi final. There used to
Speaker 3: be a referee who Greg Hollywood Hartley, who was pretty
Speaker 3: openly biased against Parameda and at one point I think,
Speaker 3: coming with the Grandfather, it might have been a semi final.
Speaker 3: That's it. We're a female fan ran onto the field
Speaker 3: and started telling him off, and the Powa players had to, like,
Speaker 3: you know, hold her by the arm and walk off
Speaker 3: the field. George, and she ran onto the field and
Speaker 3: pointing a finger in his face and telling him off,
Speaker 3: and the power players she said, come on, love, let's
Speaker 3: get Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I just think when I look at games, and
Speaker 6: that's why. Well when Manny, when he was watching the game,
Speaker 6: I was just more excited because it matched my magazine
Speaker 6: frame up here. But he was like, I can see
Speaker 6: that they're just being a little bit mean to Broncos
Speaker 6: players and letting them rub their faces in the dirt.
Speaker 6: And I said, well, that's why when I watch games now,
Speaker 6: like it was rough over Magic round, I do want
Speaker 6: to talk about the previous round. I'm sorry. George b posted, Yeah,
Speaker 6: forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 5: Forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I just feel like there is a sometimes
Speaker 6: there's a bit of a bias, you know, and now
Speaker 6: that you've got all this other stuff that comes into
Speaker 6: it too.
Speaker 3: So yeah, obviously what doesn't say obviously we missed last round.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Bulldogs get in their first lost Brisbane
Speaker 3: in that first half.
Speaker 5: That's perfection, perfection, perfection, forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3: And we want to go around, Yeah, where is where's that? Seriously?
Speaker 6: I play he was an outlier last week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know about to Ricky, but now look they
Speaker 5: gave I guess the Bulldogs the Broncos gave forty minutes
Speaker 5: of perfection I haven't seen. I haven't seen. Look, even
Speaker 5: Pendrifet their best couldn't match that. That performance that was
Speaker 5: that was awesome. They fell off the second half. It's
Speaker 5: hard to keep eighty minutes of that type of emotional
Speaker 5: and physical effort. But you know what, they've got it
Speaker 5: in them. We thought they've got they've got in them.
Speaker 5: Now how do you get it out of them? How
Speaker 5: do you get it out of them?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Sorry, I think it was.
Speaker 5: Gone you you went to the preseason game, Tea. I
Speaker 5: knew what will happen even before a ball was kicked,
Speaker 5: and we spoke. We spoke about it two weeks ago,
Speaker 5: three weeks ago on the pod. I believe that Broncos
Speaker 5: have got them mentally. I really do Canterbury and they
Speaker 5: showed it. They showed it they and you know me that.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you everything good about that first forty minutes.
Speaker 5: If we think that mister popular as a good coach,
Speaker 5: everything made done. Everyone moved the Soroudo had. He had
Speaker 5: four moves to counter the one Serroudo move. How do
Speaker 5: you how do you how do you get them? How
Speaker 5: do you get the best defense of kilter? You drop
Speaker 5: you drop people in uh and they're going sideways. So
Speaker 5: you're turning the middle forwards shoulders in or out and
Speaker 5: they're not coming up. So guess what happens all the
Speaker 5: all their forwards straight through the middle like we saw
Speaker 5: pain Hulf. I don't worry about what the tackled after
Speaker 5: pain Huf. How about pain Huf is actual tackle. So,
Speaker 5: like I said, Madge, it was a Madge master class.
Speaker 5: There was a Rentals master class. There was a Hunt
Speaker 5: master class. The forwards were awesome, awesome, and Colbo is
Speaker 5: a fullback.
Speaker 6: Cobo is not that pre season at game three, we
Speaker 6: are happy. Yeah, that was. It was almost a exact
Speaker 6: team that we had, Broncos and Bulldogs and they did
Speaker 6: just to get Mariner.
Speaker 5: In because I was exactly the same. Tell you it
Speaker 5: was exactly the same result. It was there. We all
Speaker 5: put it down to I was a troll match. But
Speaker 5: to me, the boy language even before the game told
Speaker 5: me that the Broncos have got a mentally you know
Speaker 5: what I mean?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that was. Oh you know, I was messaging
Speaker 6: Anna on Instagram. You don't tell George to watch the game,
Speaker 6: and She's like, I'll wear fifteen minutes behind and I
Speaker 6: was like don't tell George to watch my story's.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 5: I love teeth. I love watching really good rugby league.
Speaker 5: I always say that. And if Broncos think give me
Speaker 5: that every week, I'm on board. I'm on board. I'm
Speaker 5: on board. I'm a little bit different to most. Do
Speaker 5: I want more?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 5: I want more people to do well? Yet? But if
Speaker 5: someone's giving me outstanding rugby league, I'm on board. I
Speaker 5: love watching it. I don't care who it is. I
Speaker 5: don't care who it is.
Speaker 3: Now about we jumping new controversy corner Let's there's a
Speaker 3: couple of big, big news stories. So Brandon Smith apparently
Speaker 3: transfer is imminent from the Roosters to the Rabbits. Interesting
Speaker 3: haggling over a forty thousand difference. At the moment, this
Speaker 3: is immediate for the rest of this season. I think
Speaker 3: if he goes to South and under Bennett and focuses
Speaker 3: on being a nine, I reckon it's a win win
Speaker 3: for them. To be honest, none will yeah, but Bennett
Speaker 3: Bennett thinks he's a nine, so I am. I'm curious
Speaker 3: to see how it plays. I'm curious to see how
Speaker 3: it plays out because I don't know apart from Craig Bellamy.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's any other coach that can
Speaker 3: get the best out of him, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Hmm, yeah, Look, it's it's gonna happen anywhay. But is
Speaker 2: he injured. Also, once he back from injury, because.
Speaker 3: Back back, back then, back in five six weeks or something, maybe.
Speaker 5: Back end of the year, I'll get something out of him.
Speaker 5: But you know what, he never said the rosters, he
Speaker 5: was not a rooster's top of player. Yeah, so you
Speaker 5: know he can move on. Now the question, the question
Speaker 5: is he a good player? Absolutely, I've always said that
Speaker 5: he's a rugged, hard running is he Is he good half? Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's good, dumb half. Is he a hooker? Look, I'm
Speaker 5: going to still say no, even despite what Bennett said.
Speaker 5: I I actually read a story before on edit Bennet
Speaker 5: said he's going to put him at lock. But anyway, regardless.
Speaker 3: To that, he's injured.
Speaker 5: He's injured.
Speaker 2: But next next they're going to play next year Exactly.
Speaker 2: I can't play my lock next year with we can.
Speaker 5: Put you can put they can put Marie on the
Speaker 5: end on an edge.
Speaker 3: But I don't know, he's never been But also he's
Speaker 3: never been an eighty minute hooker right, even at Melbourne,
Speaker 3: so they probably came probably play some back row as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: playing lock. You can play back row in Melbourne.
Speaker 5: He would come on and do a cameo and and
Speaker 5: free up the hooker they I forget his name, the
Speaker 5: guy Grant, And then he dropped that. When Grant would
Speaker 5: come on, he like you said, Nicole, will drop drop
Speaker 5: back to our lock. Look, he's he's good value. He's
Speaker 5: good value. He's a rugged runner, he's a good defender,
Speaker 5: and better will get the best out of him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: for sure, for sure, I reckon he will anyway.
Speaker 3: So apparently what they're saying is that the Roosters want
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand for the rest of this year, so
Speaker 3: prepared to pay one sixty. I'm sure they'll meet somewhere
Speaker 3: in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, by the time he's ready to play, he'll be
Speaker 3: he'll be in the red and good.
Speaker 5: Look, I hope he goes and finds his major again
Speaker 5: because at the Roosters he being easier.
Speaker 2: He be it.
Speaker 5: No major there whatever I mean, Yeah good.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Trent Robertson's like as a coach,
Speaker 3: but he's probably been my assumption sidetracked by two things
Speaker 3: as not Craig Bellamy and b the Sydney lifestyle. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it seems to have gotten the better of him now
Speaker 3: he's on podcasts and everything and he's just a lot
Speaker 3: looser than he was when he was in Melbourne. So
Speaker 3: maybe he's a little bit distracted. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: But also speaking of the Roosters, daily Chairry Evans is
Speaker 3: going to go there for one year and a one
Speaker 3: million dollar deal not confirmed, but that's what they're saying
Speaker 3: for next year. Yeah, one year, yeah, but that's what
Speaker 3: that's what everyone's saying. Yeah, one year, one mill Just
Speaker 3: I do homework, So the Kenny's Pod, fifth and last
Speaker 3: Gus Fox Sports Listeners. We put an incredible amount of
Speaker 3: research into these shows late night. Yeah, not really just
Speaker 3: the stuff that we read every day. But yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what they're saying. So we'll see, we'll see if that
Speaker 3: happens to it. It's a strange one year. I thought
Speaker 3: he wanted to but he's going to be thirty seven.
Speaker 2: But it's still mainly offered him in the end two years,
Speaker 2: two years, Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's weird. And what's the bet he'll get a year
Speaker 5: at a million and you'll probably get in the contentional
Speaker 5: goat and we're off again. I'd say, you'll probably play.
Speaker 5: But all you can do is sign him for a
Speaker 5: year at a time. At thirty seven, he can only
Speaker 5: have a year at the Roosters because there's too much
Speaker 5: coming up, he much coming through. You're going to stunt
Speaker 5: You're going to stunt growth if you if you signed for.
Speaker 3: Two releasing Dominic Young is going back to Newcastle next week.
Speaker 5: Again, not yeah, but no, it happen. Yeah, I heard
Speaker 5: one hundred percent, you know, but he was. He was
Speaker 5: never a Rooster's play. It didn't fit in. He wants
Speaker 5: the place, he wants to play center anyway.
Speaker 3: Apparently for a club that's been so at the top
Speaker 3: of the at the top of the ladder, not points wise,
Speaker 3: that's probably a bad metaphor. But it'll been so good
Speaker 3: with their recruitment. The last eight months has been horrid.
Speaker 3: The recruitment has been terrible. The players let go and
Speaker 3: the players they've signed, it's been terrible for a club
Speaker 3: like that, you know, for a club like that to
Speaker 3: sign players. Paul Momorowski announced his retirement today. You know,
Speaker 3: so that these are all mid contracts. Yeah, we'll arguing
Speaker 3: about Galvin. These are all mid contract players to the club,
Speaker 3: saying see you later.
Speaker 5: The clearing deck. They're clearing the deck, these kids coming through.
Speaker 5: They're looking the good, looking, excellent for ten NRL games,
Speaker 5: they're looking good.
Speaker 3: How about when he comes back in and they've got
Speaker 3: two wins and everything is no noise coming out of
Speaker 3: targets her anymore?
Speaker 5: Funny what Victory does or does mac is adult.
Speaker 6: There was some add with him and Luel and a
Speaker 6: few other people. Who's the guy I was reading about
Speaker 6: the weekend, who's the replacing d C from Raiders?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I got I know he's got to go
Speaker 5: for the money to kill for his family. But I
Speaker 5: questioned the fit there.
Speaker 6: Well, they didn't contact him, but his contract apparently.
Speaker 3: You mean.
Speaker 8: You mean the the Raiders mm hmm yeah, the Raiders. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I think I think is the third year of the
Speaker 8: second year he gets three years there or two years?
Speaker 2: Are they three? That's why he's gone Cambra over him
Speaker 2: two and then mainly up to another year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's not the money, is the time period
Speaker 5: and and Cambra can't keep him because so much underneath.
Speaker 5: They can't keep him for three years they can't.
Speaker 3: Keep I just sent you. I just sent you a
Speaker 3: text of that I sent to George and Tan of
Speaker 3: Ricky Stewart of Magic Grounds. I see that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's funny. Have a look at it later, Have
Speaker 5: a look at Yeah.
Speaker 3: And now there's other reports today that this hasn't going
Speaker 3: to be facing the sack if he doesn't win twelve
Speaker 3: out of the last sixteen. That's really that's a big ask.
Speaker 3: That's a big ask considering their current form, and the
Speaker 3: feet is in reserve grade.
Speaker 2: They're shocking him around. Apparently, that's what I heard as
Speaker 2: well two clubs.
Speaker 3: I said, we're wondering.
Speaker 2: Who was going to be the first coach sacked. And
Speaker 2: you know, we never really had him in the picture,
Speaker 2: right But.
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, I don't know how solid that is,
Speaker 3: but this is just what they were a porting.
Speaker 5: So I was waiting for that idea when more more
Speaker 5: losses came, I was waiting to hear about that. I
Speaker 5: would like them to think with Daisy, I can't believe
Speaker 5: des is the issue. I think maybe, well we've seen it.
Speaker 5: They're shopping. They're shopping there for fitter around, so maybe
Speaker 5: he's the cancer there. There's something going on because no,
Speaker 5: I mean you think so up in the officer's team. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's it's something going on because that lift should
Speaker 5: not be the body.
Speaker 3: Even if you look at if you look at Parado,
Speaker 3: we all know and talk about, you know, Gatho and
Speaker 3: our cg last year, right again, and I just mentioned
Speaker 3: players who are getting who are getting let go meet contracts.
Speaker 3: If you look at Paramotter just this year, Bryce cart right,
Speaker 3: Sean Lane would to move, Greg now has been offered
Speaker 3: to the Super League, Ryan Madison, Joe Offali and apparently
Speaker 3: Junior Paulo is going to retire at the end of
Speaker 3: the year. Now that's that's that's the entire forward pass
Speaker 3: bes see you later. So I hope he's got a plan.
Speaker 5: He's got.
Speaker 3: But we're seeing it. We're seeing it. We're seeing it
Speaker 3: a lot again. You know again, it irks me. I
Speaker 3: don't want to keep going back there. But with all
Speaker 3: the stuff, the headlines that blew up about Galvin, all
Speaker 3: these clubs are kicking players out of mid contract and
Speaker 3: it's okay.
Speaker 6: What happened in the last two weeks coming back in
Speaker 6: it's insanity.
Speaker 3: They're getting this cat ready for next year or these
Speaker 3: clubs money, you know what.
Speaker 2: The thing with the thing with Hasler, the Warriors were
Speaker 2: similar to what the Titans are. They always had the
Speaker 2: talent can navigate to the next step. And Webster has
Speaker 2: just weaved his magic since he's been there, been solid.
Speaker 2: I've got a feeling that's what's going to happen to
Speaker 2: the times. But they just got to find the right coach.
Speaker 2: Is not the right coach, They've got to find some youngster,
Speaker 2: some some young guy that's got new ideas because the
Speaker 2: old coaches now I'm telling you now Flannigan will be
Speaker 2: probably next soon if he keeps going with this. But
Speaker 2: the Flannagans, the Hassler's, or the old guys that you
Speaker 2: had a bit of success in the early days, they're
Speaker 2: starting to fail a bit now. They're using the old
Speaker 2: methods continue going well, but it is just inconsistency. Like
Speaker 2: He's they're either brilliant or their way off. You know,
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: Go like a bit of a yo week in week out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: One thing that's similar about those who though they bank
Speaker 2: on old players more than the youth, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, that takes them a while to bring a
Speaker 2: youth going, whereas the newer coaches aren't afraid to throw
Speaker 2: in a youngster, whereas Flannigan, he has been forced to
Speaker 2: blood in the youngsters this year because the other guys
Speaker 2: have simply been crap. But Hasler is the same, like
Speaker 2: he's sort of a little bit.
Speaker 3: Because if you look at Roles the team that Paramatti
Speaker 3: ran out with, they had five they had four run
Speaker 3: on players with less than ten games experience. So you're
Speaker 3: definitely right about the younger coaches are taking that kind
Speaker 3: of approach. Yeah, maybe maybe Trent Robinson and some of
Speaker 3: these other coaches was just saying, you know what, we
Speaker 3: need to kind of do something similar. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Trent Robertson where the roosters are now with Trent Robinson
Speaker 2: is a huge him because that's not a good team,
Speaker 2: that's all youngsters, and he'd lost a lot of players,
Speaker 2: so he's done really well. I think robot I know,
Speaker 2: his recruitment has been pretty poor the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: but even they wanted to get there.
Speaker 3: I mean they lost was at Supreneur because of the
Speaker 3: forfeeder bundle mm hmmm, and just the players have brought in.
Speaker 3: They were releasing him a year or two later, it's
Speaker 3: you know, but I suppose the thing that's George, You've
Speaker 3: been the loudest vocally. The thing that's more alarmed, it's
Speaker 3: most alarming is that with players like Brandon Smith. I
Speaker 3: remember George was saying it straight away like this is
Speaker 3: a bad fit.
Speaker 5: It's not going to work, you know what with Robbo specifically,
Speaker 5: because he's had so much success there and if you've
Speaker 5: had one or two years, you know, ordinary results because
Speaker 5: obviously a bad recruitment. It looks like he's seen his
Speaker 5: way and he's going back to that as well. Gee,
Speaker 5: he's going back to what he usually does. Because what
Speaker 5: I'm seeing these kids coming through, they look like when
Speaker 5: they have fifty to one hundred n real games underneath,
Speaker 5: they're built. They look like they're going to be pretty
Speaker 5: pretty good. Now in terms of coaching, I can tell
Speaker 5: you right here and now, there's a big difference between
Speaker 5: the young brigade Ryles throughout zero Fits is a little
Speaker 5: bit differ and he's a little bit old school a
Speaker 5: little bit. He runs it a little bit old school
Speaker 5: to to the to your Flannagans and your Daisy's. They
Speaker 5: play more direct, more old fashioned power game even the Professor.
Speaker 5: They're trying to use this this sort of power, sort
Speaker 5: of move movement of a ball sort of game brand new,
Speaker 5: the new style called the new coaches. So you're right there. Now.
Speaker 5: I don't know what's what's the right type of rugby league.
Speaker 5: But as the game quickens up and the forwards a
Speaker 5: different shape, they're not the six, they're not all paining HSSs.
Speaker 5: Maybe this sort of movement in forward passes to forward
Speaker 5: uh and bringing them bringing them back on the inside,
Speaker 5: coming with angloed runs so you catch up the defenders
Speaker 5: turning shoulders might be the way to go.
Speaker 3: Rolls done with the center Jordan a background.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, rolls. I consider rolls as a new brigade.
Speaker 3: He's not going for size, he's not going for size
Speaker 3: upfront mobility.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I call I call roles part of the new brigade,
Speaker 5: the hero, and and and even the Professor, which is
Speaker 5: not young, but he's got a young thought, the Professor,
Speaker 5: so his more ball movement.
Speaker 3: I still would like to have to big middle forwards
Speaker 3: around him. You know, I think you're still that there's
Speaker 3: two blocker roaches to to break the wall down.
Speaker 5: You know, you need someone punching the meat as Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 5: or you can do like Canby doesn't with more movement.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But then again, then again Broncos put a stop to
Speaker 5: that with the whole The whole comp showed how you
Speaker 5: you can rip Canby's middle all apart, he showed off
Speaker 5: he's there.
Speaker 6: There's yes, no, no, no yet to say. They're probably
Speaker 6: going to I.
Speaker 3: Was going to say, there's ten million dollars worth of
Speaker 3: talent in reserve grade right now across the What.
Speaker 6: I was going to say is I feel bad for
Speaker 6: the coaches, right like I know, you know, we can
Speaker 6: say whatever you want about about certain things. Now I've
Speaker 6: as you guys know, like having experienced at the community
Speaker 6: level and also experience with certain and exposure to certain
Speaker 6: clubs in the er L. At the moment, you got
Speaker 6: to look at who's on the board, because the board
Speaker 6: has oversight right over decisions and coaching decisions and recruitment
Speaker 6: and what makes them look good. And you know, it's
Speaker 6: very strategic. And also it's not just similar to running
Speaker 6: a business where where not everyone should have a business
Speaker 6: or run it or manage it, and they might have
Speaker 6: ego that tells that as well. And we look at
Speaker 6: you know, if we look at I guess even how
Speaker 6: you know the Broncos. The Broncos are a really good
Speaker 6: spread on their board. They have people from the industry,
Speaker 6: they have people that have come from finance everything else.
Speaker 6: Like Storm has the scene, like they've experienced people. And
Speaker 6: if we're talking about Titans, like you know the people
Speaker 6: that are on the Titans, it's privately they have very
Speaker 6: strong oversight over over the coach and what they do.
Speaker 6: And it's a very Gold Coast focused board, do you
Speaker 6: know what I mean?
Speaker 5: She's the one who went out of her way to
Speaker 5: pick there's the up. She begged them basically to come,
Speaker 5: which is what what's.
Speaker 6: Rebecca? Yeah, they have they have a smaller board, right,
Speaker 6: And I'm just looking at like the because I always
Speaker 6: get interested in how clubs are structured and stuff. And
Speaker 6: then you have a look at how because when I
Speaker 6: because I sponsored the Titans years ago, and who's the
Speaker 6: guy that now he was there and he's not there anymore.
Speaker 3: He was a CEO.
Speaker 6: Gosh I met him a few times. He's now more
Speaker 6: in the NRL. He was great commercially that for that club.
Speaker 6: But we go, what do we have who is actually
Speaker 6: behind the coach, who's actually who are the people being
Speaker 6: appointed to football operations? Or they're getting it because they're
Speaker 6: friends of a friend of a friend, or are they
Speaker 6: getting it because they're actually you know, suitable for the role.
Speaker 6: Because you got to think in these clubs they're not
Speaker 6: necessarily run. And we were talking about this before we started, George, like,
Speaker 6: in terms of running a business and everything. It's great
Speaker 6: to start a business or run it because you love
Speaker 6: doing what you do or you love footy, but do
Speaker 6: you have the right people in place so we can
Speaker 6: go des is bad and he's bad whatever? Like Nick,
Speaker 6: we were talking about it before with Shane too. It's
Speaker 6: not necessarily about the coach. The coach is the puppet,
Speaker 6: do you know what I mean? They're the ones that
Speaker 6: have to do what they're being told because who's paying them.
Speaker 6: So I go, I look at it probably more for
Speaker 6: my commercial perspective, and I go, well, instead of looking
Speaker 6: at the coach, who's on the board, you know, and
Speaker 6: what's what's actually driving certain decisions Because I've I know
Speaker 6: people that have played at certain clubs too that have
Speaker 6: given insight as well into what it's like being at
Speaker 6: certain clubs without like saying too much, and it's not.
Speaker 6: It's it's run. A lot of those clubs are crazily run.
Speaker 6: Like I had insight into the Suns, the AFL as
Speaker 6: well sooner like back then it was not very organized.
Speaker 6: They usually aren't. It's the it's the it's the bigger
Speaker 6: established storm Panthers. That's even when you guys are talking
Speaker 6: about Panthers and dragons last year. Their structure. That's why
Speaker 6: I was. I found it so impressive because I haven't
Speaker 6: seen that as much here in certain so I kind
Speaker 6: of go, yes, the coach and everything else, but god,
Speaker 6: he's only his hands are tired, you know, So do
Speaker 6: you thok about?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 5: It's interesting though. I thought there's some coaches who who
Speaker 5: had sort of car blanche. They can probably probably do
Speaker 5: anything they wanted to.
Speaker 6: Have ownership or they get a percentage of whatever that
Speaker 6: would be. That is a really good strategic thing that
Speaker 6: we use for general managers if we want them to
Speaker 6: have more buy in when we're recruiting them for a
Speaker 6: role in a year or two years time. You get
Speaker 6: a cut of the profits. If you looked if people went,
Speaker 6: people don't go this intensely because they probably don't think
Speaker 6: like I do. But if you looked at who had
Speaker 6: a private ownership or even some sort of you know, shareholder,
Speaker 6: and you look at how that's linked to that particular coach,
Speaker 6: like they would have more of a vested interest in
Speaker 6: doing well for the club and listening and moreover, because
Speaker 6: you've got to think it's not the clubs are a
Speaker 6: commercial business.
Speaker 5: We paid, Yeah, not many of them actually make profits.
Speaker 5: Are maybe two or three of them? You mean beside
Speaker 5: Penriff and the Broncos, which the Broncos are the richest
Speaker 5: club in the league or in the world rugby league club.
Speaker 5: Not many make profits last year. It's it's not like I.
Speaker 2: Just just for the first time.
Speaker 3: But they're probably not well enough. They're probably not run
Speaker 3: efficiently enough.
Speaker 5: Like I know, para problem.
Speaker 3: I mean we you know we went we went to
Speaker 3: I mean, if you go to a paramountic game and
Speaker 3: you're not a member, do you have much your pain?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, it's absurd, right. And then for someone who
Speaker 3: wants to take their family, Look, if I was running
Speaker 3: the club easy kids undertend getting free, that's.
Speaker 5: Absolutely and you're going to make it back in the day.
Speaker 3: You're going to make your money back with chips and
Speaker 3: hot dogs.
Speaker 6: Anyway that make a club money, sponsorship deals, right, naming
Speaker 6: rights like we we had the naming rights for Kevin
Speaker 6: Propter's shirt jersey, which that year he did something very
Speaker 6: unfortunate which was not ideal for go back there. But
Speaker 6: you think about that. So if you're getting sponsors on
Speaker 6: board and you see them holding like this big bag
Speaker 6: of money, you're going to be swayed that way to
Speaker 6: get you know, more stuff for your club. It's just
Speaker 6: the way that the business world works. Like if it's
Speaker 6: a member's run club then obviously it's a little bit different.
Speaker 6: They have a bit of a say, but I guess
Speaker 6: for the way that I see it, Like you know,
Speaker 6: Broncos are publicly listed right so that they do have money,
Speaker 6: you know, whereas you have privately owned companies or members around,
Speaker 6: I just I kind of go, yes, you know, I
Speaker 6: can hate on Benji and Bennett and Bennet probably has
Speaker 6: more of re sake be as the respect thing too,
Speaker 6: but I go I also know there's people behind there
Speaker 6: that are holding the strings as well, which is the
Speaker 6: main driver for a lot of the things too.
Speaker 5: But it's interest, that's the reason why you have people
Speaker 5: like Guskull, which is a buffer between the coach and
Speaker 5: the board, you know, I mean, and I'm sure every clubs.
Speaker 5: I guess God, I.
Speaker 3: Mean you needed too, because what was it too easy? Ago?
Speaker 3: Wayne Bennett didn't front the press conference, which is apparently
Speaker 3: his tooth fell out.
Speaker 5: That's right, Yeah, that's right, you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well what he was drinking coffee in the box
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But exactually, miss you look at it.
Speaker 3: When Wayne Bennett gets the ships and he doesn't want
Speaker 3: to turn up, it doesn't turn.
Speaker 5: Up and we're going to take it out.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, if your tooth falls out, you
Speaker 3: can still talk, you know what I mean? Like, I mean,
Speaker 3: he had the ships because he lasted he didn't do
Speaker 3: the press conference. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5: That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3: Time for your tooth to fall out otherwise, you know,
Speaker 3: that's true enough.
Speaker 5: Actually, te I got an email from a Queensland listener
Speaker 5: asking about the third parties and I'm actually doing a
Speaker 5: little bit of work behind the scenes on the Broncos
Speaker 5: third party deals. A bit hard to find, but I'm
Speaker 5: still battling a couple of when already comes back, not
Speaker 5: next week. The other work I'll try to tell you
Speaker 5: roughly how much some of the players and I can't
Speaker 5: find everybody, but on the Minion.
Speaker 6: Well, interestingly, because they are a SX listed, you can
Speaker 6: actually find the reports.
Speaker 5: You can find the reports that's not a report will
Speaker 5: be available online the company because because I doesn't reveal
Speaker 5: them as we know, because NRL. So you've got to
Speaker 5: go actually dig in and to find to find things.
Speaker 5: But you're right, ASEX and that's what I was thinking, as.
Speaker 6: Well as a recruiter and know how to find that
Speaker 6: salaries really quickly.
Speaker 5: That's good. She'll tell me.
Speaker 3: Just one last point. Good. The Premier of Western Australia
Speaker 3: has confirmed the personal Host Eighties team.
Speaker 5: Yes, the Bears are back the best.
Speaker 2: It's official.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 6: I want to fly six hours to still be in Australia.
Speaker 6: I have two people.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't but I just think there's way too many teams.
Speaker 3: There's way too many times.
Speaker 5: They're doing it for commercial Yeah, they for commercial reasons.
Speaker 5: They want twenty teams to conferences.
Speaker 3: We've been there before twenty times. Look getting added to
Speaker 3: the teams who got cut. We had the South Queensland crushes,
Speaker 3: we had the Western Reds, we had the Adelaide rams.
Speaker 3: No one's talked about South Australia. Are they going to
Speaker 3: bring that in next you know.
Speaker 5: No, they'll They'll probably put one in New Zealand or
Speaker 5: yeah they won't do that, they put one in New
Speaker 5: Zealand or Witch.
Speaker 6: Yeah do ip switch yets. It's funny, but the Cowboys
Speaker 6: CEO is stepping down at the end of the year
Speaker 6: after twenty two years. If you're my mates, be like,
Speaker 6: to any you're going to apply for that, I'm like,
Speaker 6: you know what, they probably need a female coach or
Speaker 6: a female CEO or something. And then yeah, yeah, after
Speaker 6: the first week.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, let's let's move into the round that was, yes,
Speaker 3: the round that was so magic, Round, Tragic Crown some corn.
Speaker 3: It every day was sold out, wasn't it. But we
Speaker 3: had some rain there as well. Yeah, yes, yeah, which
Speaker 3: was unfortunate, both.
Speaker 5: Of or fifteen minutes of madness.
Speaker 6: Yeah man, sorry Artie. Meg was there for the whole
Speaker 6: three days and she was rough.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 6: Sorry Meg. On the Friday night they ran out of
Speaker 6: beer ow, they ran out, they ran out of the
Speaker 6: Great Northern. She was like, I don't what's happen? Thing
Speaker 6: Dolphins is losing and they've run out of Great Northern.
Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah you think you think girl?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, black Bronco. Broncos girl.
Speaker 5: Oh, Broncos girl.
Speaker 6: I thought you are if you're Broncos, you know, okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: run out of the beer, so run out of that anti.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the first game Sharks twenty eight it was
Speaker 3: eighteen I think of what I mean, it was, it was,
Speaker 3: it was. It was good and bad in patches as
Speaker 3: a Nils fan, Sharks were good again. Some of the
Speaker 3: calls not for one second suggestion they affected the result.
Speaker 3: But Moses got got shoulder charged off the ball and
Speaker 3: there was no symbing was placed on report. But there's
Speaker 3: no symbing. What's that? And just the high shot that
Speaker 3: hit the shoulder that was penalmized early in the I mean,
Speaker 3: it's just you know, and then the refs but the
Speaker 3: ref's reasoning when when he was questioned about it, because
Speaker 3: you could hear it over the microphone. Yeh know, I
Speaker 3: know I saw it hit the ball, but it come
Speaker 3: up off the ball and then hit him in the face.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but it hit the ball carrying the ball, right,
Speaker 3: jesus h It's just getting harder and harder to watch.
Speaker 3: It's a collision sport, it's you know, but yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. Look, I missed half of this game because
Speaker 3: I had the ship. So, like I said, I turned
Speaker 3: it off and and tenure, I heard some colorful language.
Speaker 3: And on Friday night, I wasn't because it was just
Speaker 3: I was just it wasn't It wasn't the result or
Speaker 3: the score. It was just the crap that I was
Speaker 3: seeing in front of him, just over it. I'm seriously, if.
Speaker 5: We if we push away the referee and the this
Speaker 5: this was a type of game where Cornela had to
Speaker 5: go and do what they have to do to get
Speaker 5: the two points. Earl's did not play bad. They did
Speaker 5: not play. They were hanging around. They were hanging around
Speaker 5: in it, are in it emotionally as well, which I liked.
Speaker 5: But yeh, look it starts from will Will Kennedy and
Speaker 5: how they fell how in the in the forums they
Speaker 5: still don't believe in Will Kennedy. It's got me absolutely baffled.
Speaker 5: It's got me baffled. I listened to I listened to
Speaker 5: a Carnela pod and still the first thing is it's
Speaker 5: it's not the real Wial Kennedy. Okay, he's leaning the
Speaker 5: d It's not the realned. But anyway, anyway, it's got me,
Speaker 5: got me buggered, and it starts starts from from Will
Speaker 5: and he goes to look Kay Kevin Ira or k
Speaker 5: l Ira wants to be called now, came straight in
Speaker 5: because of injury. People were talking about if he would
Speaker 5: come back into the team. The kid's a sip star.
Speaker 5: Kid's a sipstar. I don't care. He's like his uncle,
Speaker 5: if not better than his uncle, Ronaldo doing Ronaldo. I
Speaker 5: think Trindle a little bit quiet Nico taking center stage
Speaker 5: and seeing the team around. Can I suggest the big
Speaker 5: dollars that they spent on Trindle could have been a
Speaker 5: little bit premature. We'll see what happens during the year.
Speaker 5: But yeah, and you know what, Please, no one blame
Speaker 5: for Noal Blake for anything, because Fanila Blake is doing
Speaker 5: for Noial Blake things. Kre guys amazing. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 5: it's not that they're saying that. Some of the forums
Speaker 5: are saying that he's not holding up his part of
Speaker 5: the duel. Let me tell you he's holding up he's
Speaker 5: part of the duel and some and some I'm liking
Speaker 5: Brayley can we have him in the conversation or what's
Speaker 5: your thoughts that we're having him in the conversation for
Speaker 5: a Blues Jersey in a conversation. We know that the
Speaker 5: North Queensland hook is going to get the Braley young
Speaker 5: young Brailey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'd be happy with the Cowboys hooker.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, he will get the incoming I always
Speaker 5: like incombing players. But he's he's he's gone on a
Speaker 5: new level. I think this year. I'm a massive fan
Speaker 5: of Niko. I've always said that and I'm putting now
Speaker 5: Camen mcginnon, I'll say it again. He puts his head
Speaker 5: in where you wouldn't put your foot. Nicol. Yeah, he's
Speaker 5: a sensation. He's a sensational, you know. I mean he
Speaker 5: doesn't when you look at his stats, you say how
Speaker 5: because he doesn't translate on the field, but he does
Speaker 5: all that dirty, yacky things that you don't want to do,
Speaker 5: sort of a race thing sort of player. Nicola penalties
Speaker 5: in that game fifteen peno, Yeah, okay, that's a normal
Speaker 5: And look, look I thought that. I thought that again,
Speaker 5: Paramounta weren't awful. I think I think there's some players
Speaker 5: like the young the young fullbacks developing.
Speaker 3: Still, that'll be much better when Low Mexic comes back
Speaker 3: next week.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I just come back next week. Oh thank you, good,
Speaker 5: good good. And the fours held their held their own.
Speaker 5: So again we're going to give Jason two years, aren't we?
Speaker 5: At least?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: See yeah, but look, it's it's it's a game that
Speaker 5: they had to go and get it done done. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and they did and they did yeah.
Speaker 3: And and there must have been a lot of paraffins
Speaker 3: there because it must have been during that game where
Speaker 3: they ran out of beer. Because the following the following game,
Speaker 3: the rooster has been the Dolphins thirty six points to
Speaker 3: twenty six.
Speaker 2: Three to one, mate, yeah sorry one yeah, three to one,
Speaker 2: and gave it to Cameron McGinnis because of his work rate,
Speaker 2: high work rate. He was.
Speaker 5: He was a crazy, crazy guy.
Speaker 2: The second point, two points went to and he's not
Speaker 2: taking the piss out of Shark fans, but he gave
Speaker 2: it to William Kennedy because he played really well.
Speaker 5: How how they coop?
Speaker 2: I know, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know what they these Sharks fans, I don't
Speaker 5: know what they've seen anyway.
Speaker 2: And one point went to Riley Smith, the young hooker
Speaker 2: from that he was fifty seven tackles man. This kid
Speaker 2: the second or third game. This kid is going to
Speaker 2: be really good.
Speaker 5: Little Nicola very early. He's very early in his real
Speaker 5: career obviously been enough to say that he should and
Speaker 5: he probably will be the long term hooker for paramatter.
Speaker 3: Got it. It's funny because he even looks like read
Speaker 3: money with the head girl. He really does, you know,
Speaker 3: he does very similar, very similar. Like I would say,
Speaker 3: is at the same stage that he was when he
Speaker 3: in his first season.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't remember that, you remember it.
Speaker 3: Was it was twenty nineteen. So like him. I like him.
Speaker 5: I think there's a massive future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's become a sledger.
Speaker 3: He had to choose. He had to choose between I
Speaker 3: don't know what were the choice is here personally, but
Speaker 3: he had to choose between rugby league and cricket. We
Speaker 3: could do winter. He could have played representative cricket. Anyone
Speaker 3: who knows me knows that I'm not a cricket fan.
Speaker 3: I can't comment, so for me, any sport that breaks
Speaker 3: for lunch is not a sport. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be freaky though, if you had a guy
Speaker 2: represented Australian cricket and rugby league the same year, because
Speaker 2: once in summer, once in winter, I'm.
Speaker 3: Glad you choose footy. But I was reading a story
Speaker 3: just last week, I think on Fox Sports where Ross
Speaker 3: brought his dad in to present for the jersey presentation
Speaker 3: when he debuted in first grade and they made a
Speaker 3: big deal out of it. So he's he's going well,
Speaker 3: he's going well good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good kid.
Speaker 3: And John Walker's made a big difference to that team
Speaker 3: as well, hasn't he. Yeah, he really has. He's almost
Speaker 3: like a third half off the bench. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I thought it was a strange one, but the other
Speaker 5: I sear it and this is going back. It goes
Speaker 5: back to Ryle because solistically he knows what he wants.
Speaker 5: It works.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I've always liked I've always liked Dylan. I've
Speaker 5: always liked him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't I mean he won dam Center of the Year.
Speaker 3: But he's also played hooker. He has played like he's
Speaker 3: a bit of an everything guy.
Speaker 5: He's got really good hands, and he's got really good
Speaker 5: ballwork and he knows when to run and went to pass,
Speaker 5: and that's a that's a very big skill.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But anyway, going back to the Roosters and the Dolphins,
Speaker 3: so thirty six points to twenty six ten, you want
Speaker 3: to talk to studious?
Speaker 5: What do you go for me to?
Speaker 6: No, I don't want to talk about it. I was
Speaker 6: so appointed, but also I just looked. I think, I
Speaker 6: just they were doing so good, right, I really they
Speaker 6: lost the previous week, but prior to that, they were
Speaker 6: doing so well, and I just like, I just couldn't
Speaker 6: because what was it was four It was three tries
Speaker 6: before Hammer even scored his first you know, I don't know,
Speaker 6: I was saying to Nick, Magic round because I even
Speaker 6: compared the previous rounds like previous years, because that's the
Speaker 6: type of paston I am, and it is always random
Speaker 6: during Magic Round, you can't pick it right, and I
Speaker 6: feel it's such a different vibe. I've been to one
Speaker 6: Magic Round a few years ago and I think it's
Speaker 6: something one or two, and it is so a trick
Speaker 6: and it would be quite intimidating, like even for the players.
Speaker 6: It's a different kind. We've had lots of rain up here,
Speaker 6: and I just Dolphins always play well at home, their
Speaker 6: home some court. If it's you know, and I just
Speaker 6: like Asaka converted all his all the tries, like it
Speaker 6: was Alla, wasn't that great here? Four other seven like
Speaker 6: they had the form Like any Queensland game or team
Speaker 6: that we talk about in this round, they all had
Speaker 6: it and they just couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: All the queens teams lost. Yeah yeah at some court.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5: I think I think you've been you've been a little
Speaker 5: bit harsh on him because they're injury ravage at the
Speaker 5: at the moment, I think I think there's four or
Speaker 5: five out and some experienced, more experienced players out and
Speaker 5: you know what they feel in and out of the game.
Speaker 5: But this game was this game really was all about Teddy.
Speaker 5: Teddy's winded back the clock to his his hey day
Speaker 5: when he made and and things. Raff was the Oh,
Speaker 5: it's all about Teddy. He's what winded back the clock
Speaker 5: and and he's the reason one of the reasons why
Speaker 5: this team is firing as they are. Look another Queensland
Speaker 5: U t Robert uh Ty Toyer Toyer, He's he's improving
Speaker 5: every time he touches the ball. Marky Mark from Union,
Speaker 5: I think he's born playing rugby league.
Speaker 6: This kid, he guys watched it. There was like Boss
Speaker 6: Stock he was doing this late last year. He kept
Speaker 6: you dropping the ball, that is your job? Like what
Speaker 6: is your job?
Speaker 3: But I think it was it rained hard at one
Speaker 3: point to doing it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was the roughest round.
Speaker 3: It's got to be so it's easy for us.
Speaker 6: A decent team they had, Yeah, really there Sarco favorite obviously,
Speaker 6: like that Herbie Hammer. Like, yes, I lost to Raiders,
Speaker 6: which I didn't agree with the previous round anyway, but
Speaker 6: even you know Smith was off in the first what
Speaker 6: ten minutes, Billy really no sand in Smith.
Speaker 5: Which was a massive blow massive.
Speaker 3: I know it's just going to sound wrong, but they're
Speaker 3: all these clubs trained with wet bulls. You know, they
Speaker 3: have the bulls dunking in the sapey water on the sideline,
Speaker 3: get thrown in and I just.
Speaker 6: Think it's and you'll see neck when you come up
Speaker 6: in July. It is just a different type of feeling
Speaker 6: during that that round. It's like origin, that's that's the
Speaker 6: feel of It's hectic. But I did one of my mates,
Speaker 6: Joey from Malsana, his son is meet with Sandon, who
Speaker 6: went off. Yeah, I was just like I should I
Speaker 6: hope he's all right, you know, like because that's like,
Speaker 6: you know, I don't want to see that at the
Speaker 6: beginning of the game with that drop, the guys couldn't
Speaker 6: come come back, you know. Yeah, I just feel like
Speaker 6: that was super rattled.
Speaker 3: Whilst we're talking about the Roosters, just quickly, I want
Speaker 3: to give a shout out to beat Johnson kaa who's listening.
Speaker 3: Gave me a mouthful on Saturday night. The Rooster's winning
Speaker 3: and Para losing as he always does every time I
Speaker 3: see him. But we're glad to have you on board, Johnny,
Speaker 3: so enjoy.
Speaker 5: You'll be happy with Katawa. He's the guy who actually
Speaker 5: dragged them back into the flight, back into that game
Speaker 5: and made the score look respectable because I thought Rusters
Speaker 5: never looked like in danger. This Savala, what have we got?
Speaker 5: What have we got on him? Four m real games?
Speaker 5: Maybe not great on his feet, but the kicking game
Speaker 5: to cherish. He's not half, is he He's a back roll?
Speaker 5: Is in your center, right?
Speaker 2: I think he's a half half. I think he can
Speaker 2: play back roll as well, but he's a half. He's
Speaker 2: a genuine half.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, he's kicking fantastic Yeah, he's kicking game, puts
Speaker 5: the ball where the Roosters want, the Fins coming out
Speaker 5: of there, out of their dirty ball, so makes it
Speaker 5: really half for him, and he keeps on putting it,
Speaker 5: putting it there. Look, it was not a complete performance.
Speaker 5: But when they're they're, they're they're, they're looking somewhat like
Speaker 5: a rugby league team, the Roosters, and they're trying to
Speaker 5: struggling to find their identity with all these players going out,
Speaker 5: and I call it the rooster the rooster way. They're
Speaker 5: slowly trying to find out anything. Now the Finns, I'm
Speaker 5: like Tanya, I'm pret disappointed of their performance. Now this
Speaker 5: is the second or third loss in the road to
Speaker 5: I can't remember now, second lot of and that before that,
Speaker 5: that before that, three in a row and we thought
Speaker 5: they were flying. So but this week I think they're
Speaker 5: getting some players back to I think they're getting some
Speaker 5: players back.
Speaker 6: The camera game in round three, but I think it
Speaker 6: was an old mate that's fairly had a year on
Speaker 6: his raffing thing, or it was someone else, so I
Speaker 6: didn't know how to ref that game. I'm so harsh
Speaker 6: because I love the Dolphins, but yeah, you know, the
Speaker 6: minute I saw if you guys noticed, there were two
Speaker 6: or three players that did double tries or even hat
Speaker 6: tricks right the minute I saw the second one. So
Speaker 6: this was it Mark or was it Radley that got
Speaker 6: it in this game?
Speaker 3: I was like, nah, like Radley got a double? Mark double? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Robert Troyer Troyer, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Think I see like the double Victor Mark Mark Victor.
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, we're done. And and if you look
Speaker 6: at every single game the guys that got the doubles
Speaker 6: one super disappointed with that one. I'm not, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm really hoping that they they come up this week.
Speaker 5: You know what they're they're in and now they're in now.
Speaker 5: But the only good thing is you have got one
Speaker 5: of the best half backs, or one of the best
Speaker 5: young half backs is developing his game and he's going
Speaker 5: to be if he's not already, he's going to be
Speaker 5: a superstar. He's going He literally, single handily middle of
Speaker 5: the second half, when not looked dead and buried, he
Speaker 5: dragged them back into that game. So he's a special
Speaker 5: young man, a very special young man.
Speaker 6: I just realized. I said, I hope they come back
Speaker 6: this week. But they're playing the Ills.
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6: I'm going to go Broncos game when you told me, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you want to give us three to one on that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure. The Roosters are my second team and I'm so
Speaker 2: glad they're doing well at Teddy Teddy Teddy. But I
Speaker 2: lost Manu and Sali and they brought in these two
Speaker 2: youngsters are playing the no quantas here and the other
Speaker 2: guy Toya, So yeah, well done. The robot three points
Speaker 2: went to the Desco to seventy one meters, which was fantastic.
Speaker 2: Hugo Savala losing his harvest partner in six minutes and
Speaker 2: then just took over and he showed how what a
Speaker 2: class he's going to be. And I got the one
Speaker 2: point for that one.
Speaker 5: So good, it's so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, russ are doing.
Speaker 3: The first game on Saturday, Newcastle got back to the
Speaker 3: winning ways against the Rabbits, but it was thirty points
Speaker 3: to four. But g Us have been depleted. They've lost
Speaker 3: so many players. You know, we shouldn't lead up to
Speaker 3: this one, crazy crazy depleted. It's not funny if.
Speaker 6: You look at the score though. The first two tries,
Speaker 6: but by one person. It was his birthday.
Speaker 2: Sharpe was, yeah, Sharp, that's your sharp.
Speaker 6: You had a blinder that was brutal and that's face.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my god, I don't know what
Speaker 6: you can I got bored with this game.
Speaker 3: I mean they the lost Jack White, they lost someone
Speaker 3: else as.
Speaker 5: Well, souls depleted and actually, well we all go through it.
Speaker 5: But look Newcastle bounces back after I think sixth straight
Speaker 5: losses and yeah they needed it and uh and T
Speaker 5: T T said it flat to Sharp looks like a superstar.
Speaker 3: Sometimes i'd see what it see what I do. Think
Speaker 3: he's unfair though Lewis Thoughts finally gets brought in for
Speaker 3: this game. I mean, he can't be judged off this game.
Speaker 5: No, no, you can't judge him at all so far
Speaker 5: because he hasn't been got any opportunity. There's no he's
Speaker 5: been given.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we was he named this week,
Speaker 3: I haven't looked.
Speaker 5: I don't know. But you can't judge him. I can't
Speaker 5: say yay or nay because for some unknown reason, ben
Speaker 5: it just kept on overlooking him, you know, or giving
Speaker 5: him very limited time, so which but then disappointing.
Speaker 3: But then you bring him into the that's the worst
Speaker 3: possible snow set up for failure, you know, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean I don't know that ever really stood a chance
Speaker 3: of winning that game just because of the players they
Speaker 3: had out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no no. And and like
Speaker 5: I said, I wouldn't even judge him on the performance
Speaker 5: of last week, because how can you judge anyone from
Speaker 5: from how performance? You know what the score says. With
Speaker 5: all here, hopefully they'll get some players back and strengthen up.
Speaker 5: This is all about. This game was all about all
Speaker 5: about the Knights bouncing back and some of these players
Speaker 5: who are superstars, like gay guy like.
Speaker 3: Kalen He's been dropped. His name's in the reserves list
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 5: Really, if you bought him for eight hundred grand, you're
Speaker 5: gonna give him a goat. Yeah, there's still they look,
Speaker 5: there's there's issues here for this team and namely the Knights,
Speaker 5: which are still there. Make no mistake the playmaking Fletcher
Speaker 5: Sharp is great, fantastic. When he gets some open field
Speaker 5: to running or when he hits the gap, he's he is,
Speaker 5: He's electrifying. I love watching him. But all in hand
Speaker 5: and setting up other people, this is the issue where
Speaker 5: they've got. So you've got you've got some really really
Speaker 5: done back seat best gay guy look Kayle and Kylen travels,
Speaker 5: he goes everywhere, the poor guy to get the ball
Speaker 5: in his hands, and Cogger is just not fitting the bill.
Speaker 5: These fourwards last week did the job from from Carl
Speaker 5: Peace Paul to SEPHII, which I never really raided. So
Speaker 5: let's hope they keep on keep on doing this because
Speaker 5: Newcastle shouldn't be down the bottom, of course is at
Speaker 5: all respectfully.
Speaker 6: Though, like I know we talk about like you know
Speaker 6: and respectfully to Bennett, but I don't really think he's
Speaker 6: done much in terms of with teams he's had since
Speaker 6: the Dragons, like really like you know.
Speaker 3: He took I mean he was in he was in
Speaker 3: a whisper of winning a Grand Final.
Speaker 6: But also but also Dragons like what was it twenty ten?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, but then he went to Newcastle after that
Speaker 3: and that was a bad experience.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we've got so we've got Newcastle.
Speaker 3: But you know he was at minute away for winning
Speaker 3: and premiership at Brisbane. But literally a minute, literally a
Speaker 3: minute if we.
Speaker 6: Look if we look at Bennett, like that's what I'm
Speaker 6: probably really gunning for the Dolphins too, because even what
Speaker 6: they've done this year under Wolf, let's let's you know,
Speaker 6: what's he doing with I.
Speaker 3: Thought Bennett did well. I thought he did well with
Speaker 3: the Dolphins.
Speaker 6: But think even with the Dolphins, they had valiance to
Speaker 6: that massive unit that came from Q Cut did nothing
Speaker 6: with him. The first two games he the Dolphins, he
Speaker 6: he literally did a josh Ka like in every single
Speaker 6: game he played.
Speaker 3: Trade. You know, if he's off someone, he's off someone.
Speaker 6: But that's where you I know that.
Speaker 3: I know that, But I mean, you know, back in
Speaker 3: the day, back in the day when when Justin Hodges
Speaker 3: signed with the Roosters, he was dropped immediately from first grade. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's why.
Speaker 6: But I kind of I sit here and I go, look,
Speaker 6: I know Bennett from you know, back then, and yes,
Speaker 6: he was great. But I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 6: if he gets a super coach title anymore, I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think he's I think the game
Speaker 3: maybe it's outgrain him a little bit. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: My question to you is every team he goes to,
Speaker 5: or eighty percent of the teams he goes to Has
Speaker 5: he improved and forget winning titles, that's the most hardest
Speaker 5: thing you can do. Has he improved a team or
Speaker 5: Egypt Newcastle or.
Speaker 6: He didn't do anything with the Dolphins? He did that.
Speaker 5: You know what he did at the Dolphins. What he
Speaker 5: did is put culture in there one I guarantee you
Speaker 5: he put culture and he broad kids in there with
Speaker 5: high character and high culture.
Speaker 6: From the Broncos, which I think was good. They followed
Speaker 6: him there. I think that's the culture piece that we're
Speaker 6: talking about. But how good would it have been for
Speaker 6: him to retire with a brand new Queensland team, the
Speaker 6: fourth one sticking it out?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing he was involved in, the imbrune
Speaker 3: stages of that club being put together, he was he
Speaker 3: was involved in. He was involved in every meeting, every negotiation.
Speaker 3: If you watch that Dolphins doctor, you'll see it.
Speaker 6: I'm still shocked and look, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know why he didn't stay there. I want to retire here,
Speaker 3: you know, man, Like.
Speaker 6: What what a legacy to come from Bronco, something that
Speaker 6: you know and full respect that this is something that
Speaker 6: has been turning over in my mind since getting on
Speaker 6: the pop with you guys around him, because I go like,
Speaker 6: because even the Rabbits are here guys talking now, I
Speaker 6: should have put someone in and you know, like you
Speaker 6: give them a chance right where whereas Wolf, I know,
Speaker 6: the guys didn't play and there were a lot of
Speaker 6: injuries for the often he's getting everyone. That kid from
Speaker 6: Q Cup Valiants, he was brilliant. He was like the
Speaker 6: New South Wales forward that's called the tries for originally
Speaker 6: on the night. He was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: You just it's missed opportunities, I think, and I think
Speaker 6: you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I mean again,
Speaker 3: if you look at Jason Rawles, like two weeks ago,
Speaker 3: like at the start of this part, I named five
Speaker 3: forwards who are being released. Four of them were named
Speaker 3: in Cup. It was the most expensive front row in
Speaker 3: New South Q Cup, New South as Cup, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. And I'm like, I'd like to win
Speaker 3: a game. Why don't we put him in? You know,
Speaker 3: why don't we put him in that? They have their methods,
Speaker 3: you know, so I.
Speaker 5: Think we've Jason. You got to give him Klin.
Speaker 2: I think Bennett Speker's mistake. Honestly, it was Le Saint
Speaker 2: George because what he built, No, those three years that
Speaker 2: were the beachmark, that were really really they'll go up
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 6: Are we talking about what he could have also done
Speaker 6: with Dolphins that he missed during the Saint George too?
Speaker 2: Do you know that's George? That was they were top,
Speaker 2: They were really good. And then they wanted him to
Speaker 2: stay longer, but he just got stubborn because he wanted
Speaker 2: five years at the start, they offered him three, and
Speaker 2: then when it was at the end, he wouldn't extend anymore.
Speaker 2: It's like, not, no, I'm not going to stay longer.
Speaker 3: I reckon. I reckon for him he did. He did
Speaker 3: the right thing because I say this respectfully when you
Speaker 3: look at players like Jamie Soward and that he got
Speaker 3: the best out of everyone and how to play him
Speaker 3: and if you remember how both Scott was protecting Jamie Soward. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that like he got the best out of everyone in
Speaker 3: that team. And I think it's a little bit of it.
Speaker 3: I think the best thing Ivan Cleary could do is
Speaker 3: leave Penry in the next three years. No, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: Otherwise he's gonna he's going to see the other side
Speaker 3: of the slide, you know what I.
Speaker 2: Mean, recompenish of state because what he built and the
Speaker 2: players were still in the prime, he still had at
Speaker 2: least five years he could squeeze more out of those guys.
Speaker 2: I went that old. He took a couple of them
Speaker 2: to Newcastle. Other guys went somewhere else.
Speaker 3: I still had followed him everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Darius Boyd his son, he's long was sunny.
Speaker 2: But yeah, never since then, he's sort of gone a
Speaker 2: bit funny with that Queen's Broncos game where the lost
Speaker 2: to the Cowboys. What year was that? Two thousand and
Speaker 2: which one was fifteen? Fifteen, twenty fifteen? Okay, so five
Speaker 2: years later he bounced back. But that was a good
Speaker 2: Broncos team as well. But yeah, since that Grand Final
Speaker 2: lost though, he hasn't really done too much.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it was a fifteen or seventeen.
Speaker 5: He has built a club fifteen.
Speaker 2: Actually he got South to the Grand Final two.
Speaker 3: We forgot that, yes, I mean again and again again. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Againt Penrith just started their run right. Brisbane were less
Speaker 3: than a minute away from winning that Grandfather right, but
Speaker 3: no one remembers that and whoever wins the war gets
Speaker 3: to read write history the way they want people to
Speaker 3: read it.
Speaker 6: Right, So we were we're talking about age.
Speaker 3: He's lost his last two Grand finals. Yeah, he's one
Speaker 3: eight or whatever seven seven.
Speaker 6: Coaches and how fluid they are in terms of getting
Speaker 6: with the times right, And here's what's seventy five, you know.
Speaker 6: And that's not to say that he's not still shut
Speaker 6: he's playing from but he's coaching from this era, this era,
Speaker 6: you know, a different time.
Speaker 3: And camera remember coaching camera.
Speaker 6: And yeah, and I've massively taken us down a pathway.
Speaker 6: But I've just I've just had it in my mind
Speaker 6: and then be king. I'd be king to hear what
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 3: I will say I will say this though I don't
Speaker 3: think it's I think as far as twenty twenty five goes,
Speaker 3: I don't think we can judge him on this season
Speaker 3: based on the injuries and distractions of the South have had. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't think it's fair to Judgehihen this season. Next
Speaker 3: year yeah, next year him next year, yes, but.
Speaker 5: He still should have the tag of super coach, the
Speaker 5: idea and be calling supercoach. He should he still should
Speaker 5: have the take of super coach. Yeah, yeah, but I
Speaker 5: understand what you're saying. He I think you should have
Speaker 5: stayed at the Finns as well, and another twill three
Speaker 5: years just to build on on on what he started.
Speaker 5: But let me let me say, don doan't undersell Wolf.
Speaker 5: He's a good coach. He's a good coach and you've.
Speaker 2: Got to give it to Bennett. He left Dolphins in
Speaker 2: a good state. He didn't just leave him rubbish, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. He got him a good coach.
Speaker 2: He tutored him and then he left a good set
Speaker 2: of cattle and that's what you can. Kloppted to Liverpool
Speaker 2: with the new manager and they won the title, So
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's a sign of a
Speaker 2: good coach when he leaves and leaves it seem in
Speaker 2: a really good state where they've got they're aiming hin
Speaker 2: they win a comp the next year. That's when you
Speaker 2: know he's a good coach.
Speaker 6: He has been giving me a lot of.
Speaker 3: Liverpool Monopoly set some sort of record last year, finished
Speaker 3: tenth four coaches in twelve months, wow, and now sitting
Speaker 3: first with three games to go. So conti, conti is good?
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: Very good coach.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I I went crazy on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 3: We can't judge a better Yeah, based on this season.
Speaker 3: So what what's the three to one for that one?
Speaker 2: Which game was it? Again? Just joking? Fletcher Sharp got
Speaker 2: three points, Leo Thompson too, and James Schiller got one point.
Speaker 2: He ran two hundred and fifty three meters.
Speaker 5: I forgot to mention Thompson. He's good. He's good and
Speaker 5: he's going to be good next year as well. For
Speaker 5: the Dogs, Gus can pick them. He's a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, someone someone runs through the next game.
Speaker 3: Warriors thirty, Cowboys twenty six. Tell us another quints?
Speaker 5: Lad there you give it to us.
Speaker 6: For it was so hard? It was yeah, like no
Speaker 6: one Queen's I am. I really like Warriors except when
Speaker 6: they're Queens Ante because the fans are just brutal. And
Speaker 6: I felt it in my soul because like you know,
Speaker 6: med'sair and she's like, this is what's happening. I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, it was such a close, close game,
Speaker 6: and I'm just again, I'm trying to see if there
Speaker 6: was any do we have any injuries out for Cowboys?
Speaker 6: They played so well at the beginning, like absolutely like
Speaker 6: it was amazing at the beginning.
Speaker 5: How they was a half time schooliety, it was.
Speaker 2: It was well, I've got twenty eight twelve for Warriors.
Speaker 2: Warriors were up twenty eight twelve man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Warriors played pretty pretty well, Tea on this one.
Speaker 6: I it was brilliant, like.
Speaker 5: He always is. Yes, drinking drinking was drinking was very good.
Speaker 5: Didn't always always. He's good, love child, perdue, just keep impressing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he freaks me out. The size of him freaks
Speaker 2: me out. I still a con't believe his he's great anyway, George.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, And and of course, of course the
Speaker 5: forward pack, the forward pack, Tea. Uh, the nan. I
Speaker 5: you know what, when he got dropped, he could have
Speaker 5: either taken his bat and ball and gone home, but
Speaker 5: you know what, he didn't, and he returned and he's outstanding.
Speaker 5: I i't wait to see him the Maroon. I'm around Jersey.
Speaker 5: He's that good. He's been playing that good. So look,
Speaker 5: they didn't play bad. But what happens in over eighty
Speaker 5: minutes they fall in and out of concentration. So if
Speaker 5: you have eight minutes or falling out of concentration, this
Speaker 5: Warriors team can take advantage before you're not. You look
Speaker 5: up your fourteen meal down.
Speaker 6: The minute Metcalf scored his second.
Speaker 5: Try past so well it's not. Yeah, he played Metcalf
Speaker 5: not only with his running game, with his kicking game.
Speaker 5: He kicked the life out of this this this Cowboys team.
Speaker 5: And I'm a fan of the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Jason Tamalela, he's going to tell us he reigned over
Speaker 5: two hundred meters. He's back at it. He's back at
Speaker 5: his brilliant best. Yeah, he's back. He just he's carrying
Speaker 5: this team or this four pack to victory at his
Speaker 5: man again, Ruben Cotter, He's going to look good in
Speaker 5: them around Jersey because he deserves it. But let me
Speaker 5: tell you this, this Warriors team, I'm seeing habits which
Speaker 5: they've got themselves into, which are good habits, which are
Speaker 5: very repeatable, and they keep on repeating them. And when
Speaker 5: you've got Metcalf kicking the life out of Metcalf kicking
Speaker 5: the life out of the ball and getting the Cowboys
Speaker 5: starting from there from their dirty ball coming out, it's
Speaker 5: they're looking good. And I always said that I want
Speaker 5: I want the Warriors to do well because they're carrying
Speaker 5: the whole country. So well we have I should, I should.
Speaker 5: We've got half of the ky guys in the anyway.
Speaker 6: The whole game, George, I did actually.
Speaker 5: You know what, I watched it, not live, I watched
Speaker 5: it afterwards, and I actually got a little bit bored. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I did say that.
Speaker 6: And then he just and the Persian that was there
Speaker 6: was some brilliant tries, that is right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the whole Yeah, the whole the whole day, the
Speaker 5: whole day. We'll talk about a Tigers. We'll talk about
Speaker 5: a Tigers try too, which was which was quite impressive.
Speaker 5: But look, you know what, thirty to twenty six. I
Speaker 5: don't think the score told us the full story, but
Speaker 5: I was going to give us three to one. And
Speaker 5: the Warriors move on to the next week. The the Cowboys,
Speaker 5: they're not far away. They're not playing terrible, playing terrible team. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: they're not playing terrible tea. They're not playing terrible, but
Speaker 5: they have got themselves into into a bad habit of
Speaker 5: having lapses. They're coming back at the end, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. Which is a habit I think is.
Speaker 6: A habit at the moment. I think.
Speaker 5: Must be the weather too.
Speaker 2: You know, and out of the two young Rigade coaches,
Speaker 2: these two of my favorite. I love Webster and I
Speaker 2: love Peyton. I think they've done tremendous jobs. This game
Speaker 2: was a pretty good game. Game of to halves. Luke
Speaker 2: Metcalf got the three points. I thought the winger tell
Speaker 2: Lagi was fantastic. I thought really good. He's a very
Speaker 2: good winger. He's very No one speaks much of this guy,
Speaker 2: but this guy is a very very good winger. And
Speaker 2: he'll be in Origin again. He will be the first pick,
Speaker 2: I think. And the other guy who could be end
Speaker 2: up being one of the best buyers is Aeron Clark.
Speaker 2: He ran another two hundred meders. This guy plays at
Speaker 2: Locke came from the Titans, playing so well for the Warriors.
Speaker 2: This Eron Clark, keep an eye on him. The lock
Speaker 2: is a very hero. He's an unsung hero again. He
Speaker 2: ran over two hundred meders and really plain well that's all, you.
Speaker 5: Know what, he's no nonsense the player. So he's got
Speaker 5: a highlight, real player. But when you look at his stats,
Speaker 5: you say, how how did he do two hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty and forty five tackles? You know, these are the
Speaker 5: players where that the teammates appreciate him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was right.
Speaker 3: Okay, the next game, I'm going to tell you, oh,
Speaker 3: twelve points turn around.
Speaker 2: I was going to Okay, what happened, Jameson.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: What happened was Jaden Sewer. He watched the Dolphins game
Speaker 2: and he saw Raystone drop the ball over the line,
Speaker 2: all right, and he said, hold my beer, I'm going
Speaker 2: to make this trial look even worse. And he did,
Speaker 2: and he did what an idiot?
Speaker 5: Like idiot?
Speaker 2: At least at least his Stone had a player hit
Speaker 2: the ball out of his arm. Jaden Sawer had his
Speaker 2: own knee hit it out of his own arm, like what?
Speaker 2: And anyway, what a turnarout.
Speaker 5: I've seen some bad ones, lady, but that one takes.
Speaker 2: The turnaround from sixteen. I know, from twenty to sixteen
Speaker 2: a half time it would have been. It ended up
Speaker 2: being twenty six ten, massive difference. It changed everything. But
Speaker 2: good on the Tigers. They had a turbulent week a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. They've won two on the trot
Speaker 2: golden point win against the Sharks. They raced out to
Speaker 2: twenty six to ten win over the Dragons at halftime
Speaker 2: and continued with it so George looked like they were
Speaker 2: going to get something, but then it didn't happen.
Speaker 3: It's funny, Sorry off just for a second, because you
Speaker 3: say Tigers have had a couple of good wins, They've
Speaker 3: had a couple of good weeks, and you go back
Speaker 3: to last week and I'm not knocking them, and it
Speaker 3: sounds like I am. You go back to last week.
Speaker 3: In the NRLL, the issue is stayed into Cranala saying
Speaker 3: you were ripped off. Golden point time the Tigers charged
Speaker 3: down a field goal, the marker wasn't square. Cranela should
Speaker 3: have been penalized in front of the post, which would
Speaker 3: have given him the win. You look here, a ridiculous error,
Speaker 3: likely could have had a different outcome. Yeah. Sometimes you
Speaker 3: know what I've always said, sometimes it's better to be
Speaker 3: lucky than good.
Speaker 2: You get that luck, you've got to be close in
Speaker 2: the game. If I flogged after losing twenty points and
Speaker 2: they got that little bit of luck, they still would
Speaker 2: have lost. But for them to be you know what,
Speaker 2: But you know what, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: they won the game. That they're in the top eight,
Speaker 2: which is good to see. I love seeing Dewey. He's
Speaker 2: playing more games this year. He's had a torrid couple
Speaker 2: of years. Good to see him back. But yeah, they're
Speaker 2: playing like they've got a lot of harmony. Terror May
Speaker 2: has got to be the buye of the season. If
Speaker 2: that guy is not the bye of the season.
Speaker 3: Another rooster screw up in recruits time.
Speaker 2: That's a big time screw up. But phenomenal play. Maybe
Speaker 2: that was a wake up call he needed. Maybe tar
Speaker 2: May needed the Rusters to do that to him to
Speaker 2: bring out his best because he's been fantastic. But Charlie
Speaker 2: Staines looked like an absolute legend out there because Tyrrel Sloane.
Speaker 2: I have defended him as much as I can. I've
Speaker 2: just given up on this guy now. That was the
Speaker 2: worst performance and I just can't. We can't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: Defense is terrible. He just has there.
Speaker 5: His mate is not.
Speaker 2: I've never been too much of a fan of Suley.
Speaker 2: It's just a battering ram. He will get you the meters,
Speaker 2: but anything else.
Speaker 5: And can I say something. I think the wrong half
Speaker 5: was dropped because nepotism. I went through that in the
Speaker 5: ninety Oh yeah, for sure had the dog because your
Speaker 5: name is the same name as the coach. You shouldn't
Speaker 5: have a you shouldn't have the you should have a
Speaker 5: first grade job. And I think they've dropped I think
Speaker 5: they've dropped the wrong half. But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 2: They have please take your Arthur.
Speaker 5: But thet you.
Speaker 2: Now the pleasing thing that came out of this for
Speaker 2: Saint George fan the three best players on the field
Speaker 2: with Stewart's coachman and and what's his name? Dylan Egan?
Speaker 2: Dylan Egan was fantastic and this year and this week
Speaker 2: they're promoting pacifica Tonga another junior to play in the
Speaker 2: front row and the halfback like in Kingtogia. I thought
Speaker 2: that first try that he set up was pure class.
Speaker 2: This guy is going to be a really good player.
Speaker 2: So our juniors are outshining the old guys. Alwer what's
Speaker 2: his name, Val Holmes looked that Cay he'scored a nice
Speaker 2: try when he went through and and got over. But
Speaker 2: the other guys cold. He he's not using him properly.
Speaker 2: Mate Little is giving him too much time on the field.
Speaker 2: He's burning him out and then he's bringing a little
Speaker 2: into late. He needs to sort of balance out a
Speaker 2: little bit more it's a good combination to have those
Speaker 2: two little and cook. But he's not using it right
Speaker 2: and again's starting to show a few little cracks man,
Speaker 2: and we're starting to get sick of it. But that's
Speaker 2: all from me. Member, what do you have? You guys,
Speaker 2: got anything else you want to add on this?
Speaker 5: Think pongy, leave him, just leave him developed?
Speaker 2: They got it developed there.
Speaker 5: Thirty four, twenty eight. I think he flattered you. I
Speaker 5: think it's called flattered you. I think he's and and
Speaker 5: I'm not going to go too much about the tigers,
Speaker 5: but bullot uh, well, he's he's a superstar. He's going
Speaker 5: to be He's going to be even more of a
Speaker 5: superstar that we think he is. He's so good, he's
Speaker 5: so good.
Speaker 2: Did you notice something though? Not only did Suer drop
Speaker 2: the ball over the line, it bounced perfectly into the
Speaker 2: arms of bullet have to say, here you go, school son,
Speaker 2: and he just picked it.
Speaker 6: Up and just Ray got the video of slow mo.
Speaker 6: I think Coraig gone, I know, to the bathroom, want
Speaker 6: to get a beer or something. And I had to
Speaker 6: video it because he wasn't going to see it and
Speaker 6: I couldn't remind it. And the slow mo is even worse.
Speaker 5: Worse when it happened and Buller went the other way
Speaker 5: to call the trug no call it back. No, no,
Speaker 5: no way in the world. No the off find nothing.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 5: He points, he goes what what what?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: My god. First thing I thought about, I think he's.
Speaker 2: The boys When he went over. I went to get
Speaker 2: a drink and I'm coming back and they going, hey
Speaker 2: are you? I go what what can go wrong?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: And I'll look back and I can see Buller running.
Speaker 3: I'm going.
Speaker 2: Never again.
Speaker 6: It's funny, like because when I first came, my master
Speaker 6: was talking about Buller and then they didn't use him much. Well,
Speaker 6: I don't know something happened last year, but when I
Speaker 6: was watching that, I was literally I was like, I
Speaker 6: was like, poor Ardie because that and you know the commentators.
Speaker 6: I love them because is like God during magic around.
Speaker 6: They're wild, the commentators, and I said that the same
Speaker 6: as Origin. They were just like just unleashed. Hey, like
Speaker 6: because I came back and they're like, oh, look at him,
Speaker 6: just trying to regain himself and tryumph and I was like,
Speaker 6: just stop, it's so bad. They're like, we have never
Speaker 6: seen this ever in.
Speaker 2: This I've said it before. It's a show call, Benny Hill,
Speaker 2: that's what you said. Honestly, Benny Hill, I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: it was like it was the worst because Terel may
Speaker 2: gets three points, made three points. Dylan Egan, he continues
Speaker 2: to impress fantastic. He was the only guy that was
Speaker 2: chasing bull of hard enough. Sloane just gave up. I
Speaker 2: don't know why, but Egan showed a lot of heart
Speaker 2: and Buller got the one point for that.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: He played really well all games. So that's three to
Speaker 2: one for me.
Speaker 3: Okay and Sunday, the Titans George Dogs back to their
Speaker 3: winning ways thirty eight points to eighteen over the Gold Coast.
Speaker 5: Started off like a yeah, started off like a house
Speaker 5: on fire, and they and they then they started racking
Speaker 5: up some points back end of the first half. Really
Speaker 5: lost their way, really lost their way. Now I know
Speaker 5: why the Titans weren't mentally mentally there, because obviously behind
Speaker 5: closed doors things were things were happening. Obviously, they came back,
Speaker 5: they came back on the coach obviously had had had
Speaker 5: a talk talk to him, and they got back into
Speaker 5: the swing of things and they started playing that physical
Speaker 5: style of of of of of defense and and moving
Speaker 5: the ball like they do. Uh, the fours moving into
Speaker 5: each other, Serve and Crichton. If you want to see
Speaker 5: I sent, I centered how I said I should play
Speaker 5: the modern day game. It was therefore all to see
Speaker 5: on on Sunday afternoon, Nicola Uh and the whole team
Speaker 5: in general played well. I don't have too much hope
Speaker 5: for the week coming up because there are injury and
Speaker 5: suspension plagued. But against the Titans, and again I'm not
Speaker 5: going to talk too much about the Titans because I
Speaker 5: thought they're awful besides Tino. But we know why now
Speaker 5: because there's obviously things going in the background which they
Speaker 5: can't handle. But the eight for a that's about right,
Speaker 5: That's about right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well three to one for that one mate was
Speaker 2: Connor Tracy and nearly got three hundred murders in that game.
Speaker 2: He was pretty good, Connor Tracy, Jacob Preston. Unfortunately, the
Speaker 2: guy's got four weeks off now because of that lad
Speaker 2: shot or the high shot and big t famous. He
Speaker 2: was outstanding for a losing team.
Speaker 5: I'm surprised you didn't give anything to Stephen Crichton.
Speaker 2: Sorry, man, I'm to be honest. I'm going to change it.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to change it.
Speaker 3: Stephen Crion, It's just become default now. He had a
Speaker 3: bully game. He was one of those crazy one of
Speaker 3: those tries he set up where he went to fake
Speaker 3: a kick but he passed it to his reer. He's
Speaker 3: just such a good player. But man, lose the haircut
Speaker 3: seriously hard to watch.
Speaker 2: Let's just override, ride my normise on that one and
Speaker 2: give him the three points then reckon.
Speaker 3: I think all he's a good looking guy too, right,
Speaker 3: Stephen Cory just needs to He just needs to walk
Speaker 3: into any hairdresser and just say help me. That's all
Speaker 3: he needs to say. Trust me. So some of the
Speaker 3: penrith thirty two points to eight over the Broncos. Obviously
Speaker 3: very disappointing Bronco side at home. Nathan Cleary apparently has
Speaker 3: played his way into Origin again. I mean one good
Speaker 3: game in eight so, I don't know what do you
Speaker 3: guys think?
Speaker 2: How freaky was that try scored? It was literally identical
Speaker 2: to the one he scored in the Grand Final. It
Speaker 2: was amazing. Did you see it where he just no?
Speaker 3: I did? I did? I did? I just I'd like
Speaker 3: to see a few back to back performances like that
Speaker 3: before he gets put into an Origin team, when he
Speaker 3: come into winning, Yeah, the team.
Speaker 6: Before I think it's I just feel like, one, it's
Speaker 6: pretty rough, like they eat Broncos usually play on the
Speaker 6: last day because obviously it's our home ground. Despite how
Speaker 6: good the ground looked, it was shredded if you look up.
Speaker 3: Close, it was it was reterfed twice.
Speaker 6: And plus like the you know the g output were
Speaker 6: they second last game two, so you've got nerves and
Speaker 6: everything else like they had outside of Ricky, they had
Speaker 6: the same team as previously. But I just feel like,
Speaker 6: you know, it was and someone said to me after
Speaker 6: and I did feel bad. I was talking to Nicky
Speaker 6: about it, but they're like, you know, I knew Broncos
Speaker 6: with lose And I'm like, mate, don't talk to me
Speaker 6: about Broncos. Like, you know, we always played badly against Panthers.
Speaker 6: I'm like, we have beaten them eight times or seven
Speaker 6: times every time at every meeting. It is just a
Speaker 6: different environment, right, Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not
Speaker 6: excusing Broncos that are terrible, but that kind of environment,
Speaker 6: like they're the second or second last game of the round.
Speaker 6: There's just a lot of stuff going on in that
Speaker 6: that thing. But yeah, I just I wish Panthers didn't
Speaker 6: do that win against the Broncos. Yeah, that was very
Speaker 6: diffic like they I don't know if you guys noticed
Speaker 6: the further the games were along and rougher they've got.
Speaker 6: The next thing I'll talk about was the biggest biff overall.
Speaker 6: But it was just yeah, it was just rough.
Speaker 3: Fine.
Speaker 5: You know what's intriguingitana if you go if you compare
Speaker 5: points for and against and the points on the table
Speaker 5: from last year and this year, it's nearly exactly the same.
Speaker 5: It mirrors. It mirrors both seasons, which I found, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I found an intrigued The s said that I didn't
Speaker 5: do it myself. I will, I haven't got time to
Speaker 5: the end apparently leaving the forum against I think he's
Speaker 5: a few points different.
Speaker 2: And the point that I didn't think they'd let that
Speaker 2: much in last year.
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought earlier in the year they'll better
Speaker 5: at the back end last year day they faded, I thought.
Speaker 5: But my memory is like.
Speaker 6: That's why I was saying. I compared it to last year,
Speaker 6: magic round and similar like this, but not just Broncos
Speaker 6: just every every single one, and you know I still
Speaker 6: remember because every Magic round the Lions win for AFL
Speaker 6: Brisbane line. So that's the only thing I take is
Speaker 6: a win because they won last year. Yeah, this was
Speaker 6: just a it was rough and I hope Madge just
Speaker 6: as a bit of a I don't know, a reassessment.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw Addie because we didn't
Speaker 6: talk about it in controversial corner, but ma'am has gone
Speaker 6: down to Q Cup as well because he got booed
Speaker 6: so loud. I heard it through the TV's.
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, in terms of in terms of looking looking overlooking
Speaker 9: both teams, in terms of the Broncos, like I said,
Speaker 9: they can't play have a forty minutes like they did
Speaker 9: two weeks ago and do this.
Speaker 5: So it's obviously something between the years which Madge has
Speaker 5: got to bring out. He's got to sort of bring
Speaker 5: out of him, which he's probably Yeah, he's probably the
Speaker 5: right coach for that. So look the preordinary unfortunately.
Speaker 6: In the Grand Final because they're not prepared that particular
Speaker 6: team and not prepared for a Grand Final, like they're
Speaker 6: not prepared for these big games. Because he's like I know,
Speaker 6: it's magic around, but it's every single team in Queensland,
Speaker 6: like Movie coming up to Brisbane. Like, I don't feel
Speaker 6: like the Broncos can handle the pressure. They crumb under it.
Speaker 6: If we look back in previously, well the.
Speaker 5: Good thing is we're only round nine and not not
Speaker 5: round you know, twenty whatever, So there's still plenty of time.
Speaker 6: If they win on the fifth worst case, but still
Speaker 6: like that's plenty of Yeah, it's plenty of time.
Speaker 5: There's plenty of time to because because the bones of
Speaker 5: a good team is undoubtedly there. We thought it. We
Speaker 5: saw forty minutes of perfection two weeks ago. Two weeks ago,
Speaker 5: forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3: We were talking about that before you, before you joined
Speaker 3: the My response with the Asua man doing things, wait
Speaker 3: till the scouse to try. Yeah, and you watch the
Speaker 3: crowd flip.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no doubt about it, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6: But about a couple of weeks ago that played for
Speaker 6: Broncos and he went to South as.
Speaker 5: Well, South Logan.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's someone was talking about he used to be.
Speaker 3: It wasn't.
Speaker 6: Milford, it was it was someone else. But he'll be.
Speaker 6: I need to look at the lot I might go
Speaker 6: see him play.
Speaker 10: His logan clothes, just like talking about yeah, yeah, but no,
Speaker 10: we were talking about that artie because when Meg was
Speaker 10: at the game, she was like, fire, did you hear
Speaker 10: that boot?
Speaker 6: Like when they panned over his face, and Reynolds is saying,
Speaker 6: you know, it's not fair of us to put him
Speaker 6: back in straight away now that these bands lifted. But
Speaker 6: also they probably want to just test him out on her.
Speaker 5: Oh, you've got to have some games in the reggies.
Speaker 5: Give him a run in the regie. He'll be back.
Speaker 5: Give him, he'll be He'll be on the bench in
Speaker 5: terms of score.
Speaker 3: Was Clive Churchill winner three years ago?
Speaker 5: Oh no, he'll'll be back on the bench And in
Speaker 5: the next month. Is that that about it?
Speaker 2: Sorry? Just what I want to do that is it's
Speaker 2: I think people are more upset about the Israelm thing,
Speaker 2: about the punishment more than about him. What he did
Speaker 2: was a stuff far everyone's more and he's wearing the
Speaker 2: brunt of it. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: then I rolling down. They should have just been anything,
Speaker 2: thank you, And the next year when he comes back,
Speaker 2: no one would say I think that's okay. He served
Speaker 2: his for months, that's it for nine weeks. That's what
Speaker 2: it's coppled so much.
Speaker 3: On the problem is that they actually all went heavier
Speaker 3: than the law exactly. So it's you can almost like,
Speaker 3: I don't agree with the punishment, but you can almost
Speaker 3: defend them for saying, well, how can you go heavier
Speaker 3: than the law? Like he should be aligned right, and
Speaker 3: the law went off on him.
Speaker 2: Think about oh man, he was clear, he didn't even
Speaker 2: have anything with the law, and he got two and
Speaker 2: a half years and this guy is getting nine weeks.
Speaker 2: Terrible anyway, Sorry.
Speaker 5: He got, he got, you didn't get. He got a
Speaker 5: clap on the wrist.
Speaker 3: I'll say it again. High on cocaine, driving a car
Speaker 3: with no license, it's unready to smashes into another car.
Speaker 3: And he gets one week more than calling someone a monkey. Yeah,
Speaker 3: think about.
Speaker 2: That's what That's not one mistake, Nick, that's fourth again.
Speaker 3: Registered, you're a monkey. I'll see you next year. Assistency
Speaker 3: whatsoever with this with this judiciary? Yes, it's sorry with
Speaker 3: the n r L themselves, and then and then, and
Speaker 3: then you've got the situation with sorry off. Then you've
Speaker 3: got the situation with the other idiot what's his name, Spanner,
Speaker 3: Spencer Len you right, and Jonathan Thurston where he goes
Speaker 3: up to Jonathan Thurston and the n r L says,
Speaker 3: we won't investigate it because neither clubs has submitted a complaint.
Speaker 3: Will you stick you those in everything else that happens,
Speaker 3: and they had an invitation, why can't you intervene in
Speaker 3: this and say, hey, mate, you're an idiot. You put
Speaker 3: the game into district on Life Television?
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, I think I think it. What it
Speaker 6: is the issue with Man's is one year up and
Speaker 6: coming to you know, he obviously divided a lot of
Speaker 6: people with the monkey comment and everything else being called
Speaker 6: that and response to that, three on drugs for no
Speaker 6: license and five hitting a family like.
Speaker 5: And yeah, a.
Speaker 6: Family that was in an uber. So they're traveling in
Speaker 6: the most safest way, safest way possible whatever. I feel
Speaker 6: like if I was and the clubs never do it.
Speaker 6: We've spoken of us before I was his PR person,
Speaker 6: I'd have been like, get in front of this and
Speaker 6: have a conversation now. So if you're taking nine weeks,
Speaker 6: you actually volunteerily take six months or whatever. Take the
Speaker 6: season yourself. And even when I saw him in that
Speaker 6: first moment, we're into Lombar. He didn't engage. You know,
Speaker 6: he didn't engage with anyone where. Really you need to
Speaker 6: get funny.
Speaker 3: It may it may have been strug not to I
Speaker 3: don't know. They probably want to keep him away from
Speaker 3: the public.
Speaker 6: He's the one that's going to suffer because now, mister present,
Speaker 6: there's no leadership.
Speaker 3: There's no there's no leader. There's no leadership. Like. One
Speaker 3: thing I don't stand for is when people say this
Speaker 3: guy's are full time pros, right, you know, I know
Speaker 3: he's only twenty years old. There's any twenty one years old.
Speaker 3: All the all the George You've got a mute button there,
Speaker 3: all the all the stupid ship that we did when
Speaker 3: we were twenty years old. We knew exactly what we
Speaker 3: were doing. They're not idiots, right, you know, you're you're
Speaker 3: a professional athlete. You know he's on television every week,
Speaker 3: You're on life television every week, and you go and
Speaker 3: do that three or four dumb things in one one
Speaker 3: combined rolled up dumb thing. Right. But again again, you know,
Speaker 3: I've got a call out. He got one week more
Speaker 3: than the guy who called him a monkey. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: and the law and I will penalized him harsher than
Speaker 3: what the courts did. That's the hot mess that we
Speaker 3: live in here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: If I was his manager, I would have been like,
Speaker 6: take you take the heat, you take six months, you
Speaker 6: do whatever you get out there, you do an apology
Speaker 6: an around that one hundred and four grand that you're
Speaker 6: taking as a fine fifty grand and that's going to
Speaker 6: the family, thank you very much, because I don't know
Speaker 6: what family got in that sense, probably insurance or whatever.
Speaker 6: For me, I don't know. I like you guys see
Speaker 6: it the same way. But it would have appeased a
Speaker 6: lot more people that instead of him waiting to get punished,
Speaker 6: he actually punished himself. And then he did, he did
Speaker 6: an actual pr you know, because he still didn't talk
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 3: And I just think, and I'm not comparing the two
Speaker 3: for one second. They get me wrong, but you look
Speaker 3: at the Galvin situation. All it takes. People got short
Speaker 3: memories in this game, right, he comes back, he plays
Speaker 3: a month later, it's all forgotten.
Speaker 6: If they're playing well, I think it's Galvin did not
Speaker 6: get a full crowd booing at him at all.
Speaker 3: But watch that crowd flip when he's winning games for them.
Speaker 3: That's why you see the hypocrisy.
Speaker 6: When he doesn't though, because this has gotten to his head,
Speaker 6: and you know what is something bad happens to him
Speaker 6: and his mental health and he hurts himself because all
Speaker 6: these people sending death threats and everything else. Everyone will
Speaker 6: be like, what should we have done? The ener l
Speaker 6: should have done something, his playing manager should have done something.
Speaker 6: And this is my whole frustration, not to go into it,
Speaker 6: but with Galvin, who's protecting these kids?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: What's the narrative too? What was he going through at
Speaker 6: that point to be in that car where he felt
Speaker 6: like he should be driving at that point at that
Speaker 6: time of day or night.
Speaker 3: To be honest, probably just being a hell? Does he
Speaker 3: He's probably just been a twenty two year old or
Speaker 3: whatever he is assumption.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but there's something here that we need to unpack anyway.
Speaker 6: But yes, he.
Speaker 3: We've all done stupid stuff. We just haven't been pinned
Speaker 3: for it at all. Yeah, But anyway, forget about it.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens when he comes back. Have we
Speaker 3: done the three to one? We have?
Speaker 5: We?
Speaker 2: I think George wanted to say a couple of things.
Speaker 2: I haven't done the three to one.
Speaker 5: We've talked about the Broncos, so we know we're there, right.
Speaker 5: They just did a little bit of work. But the
Speaker 5: interesting part in this game. In this game was all
Speaker 5: about the Panthers. You know, they started up, they started
Speaker 5: off clunky, and they gave us the same as they've
Speaker 5: been giving us for the last six weeks. But as
Speaker 5: the game got on, they started looking a bit more
Speaker 5: like the Peniff that we know, not not fully not
Speaker 5: fully there, but started looking like the Pendriff. I want
Speaker 5: to talk about Nathan and and Nicole just said that
Speaker 5: he's been having an unhappy season and he has he's.
Speaker 3: We're going to put angels wings on him now because
Speaker 3: he had a good game.
Speaker 5: I always want to talk about one, just one thing
Speaker 5: about him. He has been having a unhappy season because
Speaker 5: he's hips and his shoulders been all over the place
Speaker 5: and he's been going sty war was not straight. But
Speaker 5: what I saw from this game is he's usually a calm,
Speaker 5: cool head, uh and he plays what he sees. But
Speaker 5: I saw him playing with the motion and if he
Speaker 5: if we add emotion in his game him, he might
Speaker 5: actually go to another another level. That's that's what your
Speaker 5: John's and those type of players. They play with a
Speaker 5: lot of emotion. That's the first time in my life
Speaker 5: that I've seen him play physically with formation. So as
Speaker 5: we say he's either an E or C, imagine being both.
Speaker 5: And that's the laws. Yeah, so that's what I thought.
Speaker 5: And that's only a glimpse, and he might not be
Speaker 5: there again, but obviously there's something different about him on
Speaker 5: the day, and he and he dragged and and and
Speaker 5: everybody felt in the team, everybody felt felt that and
Speaker 5: and came along with him, and and that's what happened
Speaker 5: here and and again. I hope he continues, but who
Speaker 5: knows what his pende of team. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: You could probably contribute a large portion of that to
Speaker 3: the Broncos performance as well. They scored eight points.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: That was terrible. They didn't that was terrible. They played
Speaker 3: pretty much, so it was interesting. We'll see how you
Speaker 3: guys against the Cowboys in Townsville this weekend. But I
Speaker 3: just want to see I'm not I reckon he's fantastic.
Speaker 3: I'm not knocking him. The one area where I do
Speaker 3: knock him is that he does he has he has
Speaker 3: not done it at rep level yet and that's what
Speaker 3: we're all wing four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I heard that argument the other day and
Speaker 2: I can't understand how some people have got Mitch Moses,
Speaker 2: who's won an Origin series but never won a final
Speaker 2: Grand final, and clear he has won three Grand final
Speaker 2: He's been in five Grand finals and won four, Yet
Speaker 2: he's not talked as much as Moses like they've got
Speaker 2: Moses ahead of him. Where I think it's harder to
Speaker 2: win four Grand finals than playing an orangin series.
Speaker 3: And one matters when you're picking a team for a
Speaker 3: three game series, right, you're picking on form. You're picking
Speaker 3: on current form, and don't forget how many Origins is
Speaker 3: clearly played.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how many Mitch has been in a
Speaker 2: good paramount system where they've had a window where they
Speaker 2: should have won grand finals. One one shame me.
Speaker 3: A highlight of the Nathan Cleary Origin moment.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've got to say it. I cn't remember.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen one, Arthur. That's why you don't know
Speaker 3: how many games does he played for your South Wales.
Speaker 2: I don't pay that much attention to origins.
Speaker 6: This is as much as how many games as he played.
Speaker 3: I'm going to look at it right now.
Speaker 6: I don't know if this is a trick question because
Speaker 6: I just flake out when I see also the police.
Speaker 2: But if you played during the Fitler series, well, you
Speaker 2: know we had a guy named Hayes Heinz who was
Speaker 2: absolutely destroyed during the Philer periods. You know, he did
Speaker 2: destroy a lot of careers or a lot of He's
Speaker 2: played how many let's.
Speaker 3: Have a look here.
Speaker 2: Said half before him. It was hard before Cleary. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Well you're looking or do the three two? One? Nathan
Speaker 2: clearly got the three. Thomas Jenkins got the two. He
Speaker 2: played really well that kid and Luke Garner the other center.
Speaker 2: I thought he was otional. I thought it was really
Speaker 2: good playing in the Senate. He's a backroller.
Speaker 6: Yeah, should have gotten just a nice pat on the
Speaker 6: on the back for one scoring that only try and
Speaker 6: to not dropping the ball. He didn't drop the ball.
Speaker 6: She's like, I know, and we lost him.
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting with Hunt when man comes back.
Speaker 3: Well what they do so before twenty four obviously he
Speaker 3: didn't play last year. He's played in fourteen Origin games.
Speaker 3: How many years is that? And we don't have one
Speaker 3: standout highlight from him? Fourteen games fourteen appearances, one seven
Speaker 3: and last seven. If you remember last year what Moses
Speaker 3: did in game two, that's four years and then what
Speaker 3: he did in game three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not doubting Moses head a blinder. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying clear He's had four Grand Finals and starring.
Speaker 3: None of that matters in three weeks, right, none of
Speaker 3: that matters in three weeks. But my point is, you know,
Speaker 3: you know it's going to be the unlucky one here
Speaker 3: if they're all fit. Is Jerome Luai. Yeah, I know
Speaker 3: he'll be dropped. He'll be dropped. I don't do it wrongly,
Speaker 3: He'll be dropped.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. But to me, Peter Sterling, to
Speaker 2: me is one of the best halves. And I can't
Speaker 2: remember a good origin highlight, but I can remember him
Speaker 2: playing for Paramountic absolutely, and that's clearly likely, clearly as
Speaker 2: the guns you know.
Speaker 3: On YouTube then, because there's quite a few origin highlights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of slow, Yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I got I always I always joke with George. I
Speaker 3: always joke with George because the first series in News
Speaker 3: ever wonty five, Steve Motimer.
Speaker 5: Mom.
Speaker 2: Broun.
Speaker 3: I remember George said to me, Steve more than I said. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but Bret Kenny scored the match winning tray.
Speaker 5: He did, did, did and slow the best half back.
Speaker 5: But why can't Why can't be the best half back
Speaker 5: in the game. I'm just saying I believe he's the
Speaker 5: best back in the game.
Speaker 3: I'm saying it should be picked on form, right, and
Speaker 3: yeah and again again. If you look at his last
Speaker 3: two games compared to Cleary's last, how many six he's
Speaker 3: played this year? Five he's been into the first couple
Speaker 3: of first game, missed the first six.
Speaker 5: You know, I mean it is the best half back
Speaker 5: in the game. Yeah, I said that last year. I
Speaker 5: said it. I say now, as a half back.
Speaker 3: In Origin, you're going to have those big moments. You've
Speaker 3: got to you know, we've seen.
Speaker 6: I don't think I can talk to you guys during
Speaker 6: Origin because you haven't experienced it yet.
Speaker 5: What I'm like, that's good, that's good. I want to
Speaker 5: experience that. I want to experience it. I want to
Speaker 5: see passion. You know what, besides besides escapism tea when
Speaker 5: it comes to Origin, I mean, I think I want
Speaker 5: to I hate the coach that we've got. I'm thinking
Speaker 5: we're going to lose three and but once you get
Speaker 5: once we get into the swinger thing, well, there's nothing
Speaker 5: more of it than I want to win. So it's
Speaker 5: good to see emotion. It's good. It's good to seemotion,
Speaker 5: and even it's good talking about players. It's it's all,
Speaker 5: it's all, it's all emotions. So it's great. It's fantastic.
Speaker 5: There's no half feeling. It's good.
Speaker 6: Even already people were like, you know, because Broncos took
Speaker 6: the new South Wales coach, new South Wales isn't going
Speaker 6: to win. I'm like, you guys just need to play better.
Speaker 3: That's not that's not why we won't win. It's if
Speaker 3: we don't win it because Lori Daily is a coach
Speaker 3: and I like Daily right, Like he's one of my
Speaker 3: favorite players of these one like the camera team is
Speaker 3: one of one of my all time the eighties, early
Speaker 3: nineties man, along with the early nineties Broncos team. Watching
Speaker 3: them play team have like what you know what players
Speaker 3: was a great player? Yeah right, Wayne Peace was a
Speaker 3: great player, Terry Lamb was a great player. How many
Speaker 3: of them succeeded as coaches?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm releasing the list, mhm, looking.
Speaker 3: Everyone for yet it's Terry Lamb and Wayne Peace coaches
Speaker 3: West Tiliers too, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, terrible look Daily coached during the Queensland Golden Period, so.
Speaker 3: I think I think it was more about that he
Speaker 3: didn't take risks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but I'm just saying that Bellamy coached during
Speaker 2: that period as well and lost. He was awful as
Speaker 2: well in Origin series and look at he was he was,
Speaker 2: So we can't judge Daily on I'm playing against the
Speaker 2: world class Queensland team. Maybe he won't surprise us.
Speaker 3: It's fair to say that surely he's learned his lessons
Speaker 3: and should come in with a different approach this time.
Speaker 5: But the team is set out, it's basically incumbents.
Speaker 3: I just I personally think that, let's say, theoretically, for
Speaker 3: argument's sake, if Nathan Cleary has two average games in
Speaker 3: the next two weeks, as long as his fit, he'll
Speaker 3: be the number seven. Yeah, as long as his fit,
Speaker 3: he'll be the sixth. Could be mad in the match
Speaker 3: the next two weeks, won't get picked, Yeah, probably, when
Speaker 3: really it should probably be unless clearly does that again
Speaker 3: the next week or two what he did last weekend, Right,
Speaker 3: it should probably be Moses and Law and the funny
Speaker 3: thing is that now you've got people like Andrew John's
Speaker 3: saying the same thing now, and now the media is
Speaker 3: starting to say it, whereas everyone was too scared it
Speaker 3: was taboo before. No, no, no, clearly he's got to
Speaker 3: be there. Yeah, yeah, she's been quite anyway. Can we
Speaker 3: get a three two one on this game?
Speaker 2: We did?
Speaker 3: We did a clear golden.
Speaker 6: I didn't drop the ball, so he deserves somethin from me, said.
Speaker 3: Hm, what did you say?
Speaker 6: You didn't drop the ball, so he deserved one point
Speaker 6: from me?
Speaker 3: Drop the ball?
Speaker 6: That This next game was.
Speaker 10: Wildrazy crazy someone, so I can.
Speaker 5: Best game of the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you want me to go through it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Please please?
Speaker 2: Game of the round? All right, Game of the round.
Speaker 2: What a thrilling finish. And just when we thought the
Speaker 2: Bunker was not going to call any controversy that waited
Speaker 2: for the last minute of magic ground to go, here
Speaker 2: we go. I'm going to win a team agame for enough.
Speaker 2: So it was fourteen to twelve a half time, both
Speaker 2: scoring two tries each, Melbourne in the first half of
Speaker 2: the half and the Raiders in the back end of
Speaker 2: the first half. Second half was just fruition. They was
Speaker 2: just going at each other and Melbourne got to a
Speaker 2: nice eighteen twelve lead until the last minutes where Ko
Speaker 2: Weeks does a nice Chip and Chase I love that play,
Speaker 2: that's always my favorite and scores. It was like Billy
Speaker 2: Slater style in the ground in the Origin game. It
Speaker 2: was that top of Chip and Chase try, great try.
Speaker 2: But the only thing that I really felt so for
Speaker 2: at the end of this game was I would have
Speaker 2: hated to be Stefano and Lierro going to It's Bellamy
Speaker 2: in the.
Speaker 3: Dressing room game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have tort shreds out of him. He
Speaker 2: was right, but camera to their credit, mate, never give up.
Speaker 2: Last week the up twenty eight ten down against Dolphins
Speaker 2: and ended up beating him forty to twenty eight, and
Speaker 2: this week they did the same.
Speaker 3: Mate.
Speaker 2: This team is the most They're not the green machine.
Speaker 2: They're the excitement machine because they are exciting to watch
Speaker 2: and they've got a lot of young players. They've got
Speaker 2: what's his name, Taperay who's leading first year. I think
Speaker 2: his captain and his leadership is fantastic. But they're just
Speaker 2: football and the youngsters are just outstanding.
Speaker 3: So what's interesting about Melbourne because they're probably still the
Speaker 3: Premiership favorites. But yeah, how many games this year and
Speaker 3: I know we're going off you know I'm being finicky here, right,
Speaker 3: how many times this year if they lost the second half?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the mental issue. Yeah, it's a habit. It's
Speaker 5: a habit that got into.
Speaker 3: I mean the they walloped Parramatta in Round one, but
Speaker 3: they lost the second half. We all know what happened
Speaker 3: against the Dolphins. It happened in this game, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure it's happened in one or two others. You know
Speaker 3: what it is to we're Melbourne Leary at halftime.
Speaker 2: I can't and I think Sir George were but not
Speaker 2: missing Harry Grant and they're missing I don't reckon Jerome Sorry,
Speaker 2: Jerome Hughes is one hundred percent. He's been Yeah, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if he's playing Bustard. They don't look
Speaker 2: like they are one hundred percent some of these players,
Speaker 2: so maybe that might be the issue. But I've never
Speaker 2: seen the Storm be so hot and cold. Hey like
Speaker 2: lose one day. It's really.
Speaker 3: Because I for one thought they were going to finish
Speaker 3: pretty game. But they do pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are, they're really good, good to watch.
Speaker 3: This week.
Speaker 2: Sorry, what were saying?
Speaker 6: What did you guys think about the win? Like Kistorm
Speaker 6: thought they won and it was brought back.
Speaker 2: The field goals. Yeah, well it was the right decision
Speaker 2: in the end because it was stupid. It was was
Speaker 2: on the elbows. I don't know what the era was
Speaker 2: deciding to do, and it was a stupid thing to do.
Speaker 2: But it's controversial. I don't know. Maybe that was. But
Speaker 2: one thing you've got to give credit to. We've got
Speaker 2: the Raiders playing the Dogs this week. Right now, the
Speaker 2: Dogs have only played one or two teams in the
Speaker 2: top six and they got builted by Broncos the Raiders, right,
Speaker 2: They've beaten the Warriors, the Broncos of Seagulls, the Cows
Speaker 2: and the Sharks and now the Storm. So the Raiders
Speaker 2: are just doing everything right at the moment. They're the
Speaker 2: full team. They're beaten the teams at the top, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Whereas the Dogs are beating all
Speaker 2: the teams at the bottom and lost to a couple.
Speaker 2: They're going to be the Sharks. Maybe they might not
Speaker 2: might do a similar thing the Sharks.
Speaker 3: That's what I've got my foot in my mouth because
Speaker 3: I honestly thought Camber wouldn't. I thought they just drop off.
Speaker 2: It's so impressive, it's unbelievable. I know George is hanging
Speaker 2: add stuff.
Speaker 5: Stylistically. So I really enjoyed this game because both both
Speaker 5: teams or no Canberra went to win the ruck they had.
Speaker 5: They had to take the ruck away from from the
Speaker 5: storm because that's where the storm. Everything starts from the
Speaker 5: ruck and all the penalties, the Stefano penalty that it
Speaker 5: was all battling Stalin is unbelievable. He's he's a little
Speaker 5: terrier and he's been doing it for a month or
Speaker 5: more now to win that ruck. So that battle was
Speaker 5: intriguing for me. The pulling, the the the all the locks,
Speaker 5: all those things, all the famous Melbourne tricks that are
Speaker 5: all out but guess what the Raiders were doing it
Speaker 5: back to them, So it was intriguing. It was intriguing
Speaker 5: this team. There's a lot of this Raiders team. They
Speaker 5: get into some habits which which are long lasting, and
Speaker 5: they're getting some good habits. They're always in the fight.
Speaker 5: They're not pretty to watch, they've got their own style,
Speaker 5: but they're always in that bloody fight. So you've got
Speaker 5: to shoot the baskets to get rid of them. I mean,
Speaker 5: they're not going to go away. They're going to be
Speaker 5: hanging around. Maddie Nicholson.
Speaker 3: For all his.
Speaker 5: Defaults in defense, he's got a beautiful little pop. He
Speaker 5: can stand and pop. So if hats and young can't
Speaker 5: get it done, like he didn't do it. He was
Speaker 5: very good, but he didn't break the line. Maddie Nicholson
Speaker 5: that that little pop which brought care weeks into the
Speaker 5: game with that with that run was absolutely stunning. There's grit,
Speaker 5: there's grinding his team and they're going to keep on improving.
Speaker 5: I think now where it's going to take us at
Speaker 5: the end of the year, I don't I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but let me tell you there's something brilling,
Speaker 5: there's something brewing in the Green Jersey this year, and
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see where it takes us. They're big,
Speaker 5: they're physical, they're young, they're fast, and I loved it.
Speaker 5: I loved every every second. Yeah, I loved every second
Speaker 5: of it. I really did the storm. Like we said,
Speaker 5: they've got themselves into a into a bit of a
Speaker 5: habit of starting like a house on fire, then just
Speaker 5: putting their foot off the gas. It's a habit. It's
Speaker 5: a habit which which I'm sure John Chris will get
Speaker 5: them out. And in terms of the penalties, John Crest
Speaker 5: is right, and that's why they got to spray. You
Speaker 5: don't have the ball in your possession and you give
Speaker 5: penalties away, you just don't. You just don't. And guess
Speaker 5: what those two penalties. The other reason is they lost
Speaker 5: the game. Yeah, and they lost the ruck. But they
Speaker 5: will get that will get fixed by when Harry Grant
Speaker 5: comes back. That will be sort sorted out. And I
Speaker 5: think I think Art is right regarding the halfback Hughes.
Speaker 5: There's something wrong. He's not the person. He can't be
Speaker 5: Arty because he's not the person he was. Pap and
Speaker 5: House it just lights things up, doesn't He just lights
Speaker 5: it up. I love watching I really love watching Pap
Speaker 5: and Uh what's that young winger? That habit that you
Speaker 5: put and uh, Pate House, Yeah, he's he's so good,
Speaker 5: he's so good.
Speaker 2: It was George Player was No, I'm talking wou is
Speaker 2: a gun?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think I think it isn't he Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 2: Just trying to put him in anywhere now, just but
Speaker 2: he's very good.
Speaker 5: Special Nicola, I really, really really enjoyed this game. He
Speaker 5: had be on on the edge of feet and and
Speaker 5: and I like, I liked it for everything around the play,
Speaker 5: the battle, the battle of getting the upper hand. Like
Speaker 5: I said that ruck, my eyes, my eyes were glued
Speaker 5: on the ruck, all the little things I was doing,
Speaker 5: the pulling the chicken, with everything. John Crest has pulled
Speaker 5: out everything to win that ruck. I guesse what didn't
Speaker 5: give a flying doing it back, not going it back.
Speaker 5: So just this mash on the ground, this massive white It.
Speaker 2: Was so good.
Speaker 5: I loved them.
Speaker 2: How good was that Troy when he just kicked the
Speaker 2: division He just knew straight away Pap was there. Kicked
Speaker 2: the strain of his hands anyway, three three points to tap.
Speaker 2: He was outstanding as captain at far. Logo got the
Speaker 2: two points and Ko Weeks it's got the one point
Speaker 2: for that game.
Speaker 5: He's he's so electric. He reminds me of what's that
Speaker 5: in the nineties, Nicola, that that fullback that had he
Speaker 5: was a chip and Chase Manta mullin remember him. He
Speaker 5: reminds me of Week reminds me a lot of Marlins.
Speaker 5: Just burn pace to burn, pace to burn. I love
Speaker 5: that game, I should watch the Twyfe. I've already watched
Speaker 5: the Twyfe.
Speaker 3: And mainly had to buy Magic Crown hmhm magic. So
Speaker 3: let's get Crystal Wall Cristal.
Speaker 2: Before we go to that. I'm going to make a
Speaker 2: plead to the inner real please give Saint George the
Speaker 2: buy next year for the Magic Ground. We've never won
Speaker 2: a game in Magic Ground.
Speaker 3: I don't think give us the buye.
Speaker 2: Please, whoever plays next you guarantee wins. Anyway, next this.
Speaker 5: Week coming that against Women's Round, Women's Round, women in League,
Speaker 5: women in leagually Round. It's one of my favorite, one
Speaker 5: of my favorite rounds because you know, I remember my
Speaker 5: mother carted me around at eight o'clock and in the
Speaker 5: morning to certain grounds as well. So they do a lot.
Speaker 3: They do a lot.
Speaker 5: Our moms do a lot.
Speaker 2: They do absolutely another game too and.
Speaker 5: Mother's which is even better. There you go, which is
Speaker 5: which is even better?
Speaker 2: It m'll be talking about women. The women's New South
Speaker 2: Wales team thirty to twelve over the Queensland Origin Game one.
Speaker 2: That was pretty impressive performance by than yourself Welsh ladies.
Speaker 5: The first the first game one. I think the best
Speaker 5: is yet to come. I think it's going to get
Speaker 5: I don't think I don't think this. I don't think
Speaker 5: God will continue to be a yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 5: it was. It was, Yeah, I think that. I think
Speaker 5: the third game, which I think is in Queensland now
Speaker 5: or maybe in Newcastle now, that's going to be the decider.
Speaker 5: I can't wait. I can't wait. I really enjoyed it,
Speaker 5: mind you can I just say something. The women's game,
Speaker 5: it's starting to look more like the men's game. The
Speaker 5: rest on the ruck. They're starting to wrestle and they're
Speaker 5: starting to do all those things that I hate the men.
Speaker 5: The men are doing, and I watched it. I watched
Speaker 5: the women's because it was free and open. Now the coaches, obviously,
Speaker 5: and the and the players are getting that skilled. It
Speaker 5: looks a lot like a reel now.
Speaker 2: But anyway, George Trish Stratus from w W as their coach.
Speaker 3: Whotus George, Wait she is she's from the nineties.
Speaker 11: Oh right, okay, still rest get the natal boy back
Speaker 11: on before I cut you off to Sorry, No, I.
Speaker 6: Was just yeah, I just want to put that last
Speaker 6: round behind me for so many reasons.

Speaker 3: Let's do our tips, Crystal Ball.
Speaker 2: Let's go quickly through these. So we've got the first
Speaker 2: game of the round tomorrow night, Eels versus Dolphins Eels.
Speaker 2: Same as last week. Marshall king out CAFUSI in, who
Speaker 2: do you guys want for this one? So I didn't
Speaker 2: do much research on these, sorry, guys.
Speaker 3: I was in a rusting So I'm gonna I'm gonna tip.
Speaker 5: I think I think at home the Dolphins out of thoughts,
Speaker 5: they haven't played bad since miss has been been back.
Speaker 5: I think in front of their home crowd, and I
Speaker 5: think they the favorites. They'll get the two points.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was thinking Dolphins with and but I was
Speaker 6: just thinking of what they're like at home with Races.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, Mitch, Mitch Love's playing there, Mitch Love's
Speaker 5: playing early, same cround.
Speaker 2: I'm going to get Dolphins. I'm going to be different
Speaker 2: because I think the Dolphins have been pretty good. Actually,
Speaker 2: I thought they unlucky last against the Raiders, and they're
Speaker 2: a good team. I reckon they're very underestimated to the Dolphins. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm going to still compliment, Yeah, full compliment they are.
Speaker 2: They're getting Cafusie back. You'll ruddles and feathers. Anyway, so
Speaker 2: three to one. Next game after that Friday night first game,
Speaker 2: this is a battle of the This is an interesting one.
Speaker 2: We got the Knights up against the Titans over at
Speaker 2: McDonald's James Stadium. No change for the Knights. Jayden Campbell
Speaker 2: Jojo for Feeder. How good our name is? Jojo? I
Speaker 2: love that name, but Jojo, what's your thoughts on this one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, JoJo's back, but it's in Newcastle teeth. So being
Speaker 5: in being in Newcastle and the rumblings we're hearing coming
Speaker 5: out from the Titans, and the Knights had their first victory,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure they want to pay back their fans
Speaker 5: because I can guarantee you the same would be full.
Speaker 5: I don't know how much it fits in there, thirty thousand,
Speaker 5: but it will be full. They're loyal. I'm going to
Speaker 5: go Knights nights.
Speaker 2: What about you, Tenure?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think I'll go nights as well. It's
Speaker 6: just too like off that last wind, like and they're
Speaker 6: at home side. Note I did say this to Nick,
Speaker 6: but Jack Cocker looks like a young Marky mark Orberg,
Speaker 6: by the way, watch him crazy.
Speaker 2: Goat nights already one after. This is the Rabbit up
Speaker 2: against the Broncos. Joe Gray named on the bench, mamozulas
Speaker 2: your favorite player. Georgie is out, t Mitchell is back,
Speaker 2: Humphreys is back, Ezra Queensland Cup. Pinch me.
Speaker 5: Sorry.
Speaker 2: Apart from that, pinch.
Speaker 5: Me, I'm dreaming Broncos again on the plane coming to Sydney.
Speaker 5: But I think from the last week performance the Broncos
Speaker 5: might have had an interesting week of training. This week
Speaker 5: they still depleted the Rabbits. They like what I'm seeing
Speaker 5: from the Rabbits. The Broncos. They're dynamic. If they want
Speaker 5: to win, they'll they'll win and win.
Speaker 7: Will Yeah, I'll go Broncos.
Speaker 3: Broncos.
Speaker 6: Broncos got Carapani and mardin sweet, so we're.
Speaker 2: All going the Broncos. Did our street continue us?
Speaker 3: Sweet?
Speaker 2: You can everyone that's sick. Okay. Raiders up against the Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: This is a cracking game. First for a second, no
Speaker 2: changes for the Raiders. Preston out, Matt Burton is back
Speaker 2: for the Dogs. Who do you guys like it? That
Speaker 2: one Goo Stadium? It's in Canberra. Three o'clock.
Speaker 5: Yeah, same, yeah, look after after seeing what the Raiders
Speaker 5: are done, they've got the pack to really upset us.
Speaker 5: And I know we've got Burton back, but we've still
Speaker 5: got a few injuries and we've got a few suspensions.
Speaker 5: I'd like to say we're going to win, and if
Speaker 5: we can beat we can beat the Raiders, well then
Speaker 5: I know we're legitimate. But Rick, you will have these
Speaker 5: guys at home just eating rural meat. So I just
Speaker 5: can't see it.
Speaker 2: I go the Raiders as well, Clinton, Sweet home, all
Speaker 2: the home team. Oh god, Nick. Game is at Wins Stadium. Now,
Speaker 2: we've got Dragons up against the Warriors. Five thirty games Saturday,

Speaker 2: Rick James. We've got a new nickname for this guys
Speaker 2: last time, but now we're calling James. I was going
Speaker 2: to say that one, but anyway, so we've got this
Speaker 2: one here, which is an interesting game. Now, so George's
Speaker 2: record win Stadium is not bad. We've been the Storms
Speaker 2: last time there, so yeah, but Warriors different kettle of fish,
Speaker 2: who do you like.
Speaker 3: I'm going I'm going to dragons.
Speaker 2: You're going dragons?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, playing Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm going to give a dragons and.
Speaker 2: Dragons.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm the only one. ID. I like the habits
Speaker 5: that the Warriors have got into. If they if they
Speaker 5: show those habits again, Dragons might struggle. The kid that's
Speaker 5: coming in he said, he is that that big backroller.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy's yeah, it's not the kid we saw
Speaker 2: in the ridges. Okay, there's a kid in the ridges.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely killing it named Nick to Granis. He's a
Speaker 2: back rower. But they played in the centers last week
Speaker 2: and he absolutely killed it. So he's very good. I'm
Speaker 2: going to Warriors. I'm going against the Dragons. I heard
Speaker 2: which coach said name?
Speaker 3: What was his name? Nick?
Speaker 5: I was speaking, I was speaking about him.
Speaker 3: I was laughing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't remember which coach said up, but he said,
Speaker 2: out of all the teams he's played, he reckons. The
Speaker 2: Warriors are the hardest team to break down in defense,
Speaker 2: and George aren't good at breaking down defenses even the
Speaker 2: worst team, So the Warriors for me, I can't say
Speaker 2: Saints winning this, but you never know.
Speaker 3: We've been I'm going to take a couple of mounts
Speaker 3: and I'm taking a punt on the dragons that win. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because they're they're kind of week in week out. It's yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like they're running across the river. You know, when
Speaker 3: you're jumping on the on the stones one you're fall
Speaker 3: in the water. It's like, so we'll see.
Speaker 2: You know what is nick? The games that you think
Speaker 2: they're going to win, they don't. But the ones like
Speaker 2: when they lost to beat Melbourne and they beat mainly
Speaker 2: a brook Vale, you didn't think that, you know. That's
Speaker 2: that's why it's a good call that might happen. Cowboys
Speaker 2: are next up against the Panthers. That finishes off Saturday night.
Speaker 2: We've got Mitch Kenny out, but you've got no sorry,
Speaker 2: Mitch Kenny is in. Brian Brian or he's in as well,
Speaker 2: and so is Brad Schneider who's on the bench. Sam
Speaker 2: McIntyre in for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Two inns there for Penrith to only got Cowboys at home.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, you're going Cowboys, Yeah, holy humorous team would
Speaker 5: be a yeah.
Speaker 6: But also just like they played quite well at home
Speaker 6: and just after like I reckon everything, team is going
Speaker 6: to go hard this week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm torn here and ninth playing the fifth, ninth
Speaker 5: playing fifteenth. You know what again, what I saw last week?
Speaker 5: If they reproduced that form, PENI will win and win
Speaker 5: will but can they reproduce that form? I'm going to
Speaker 5: go penriff. I'll be the outlier here. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I hope they do because, like I said, I love
Speaker 5: watching good rugby league, so I'm going pennies.
Speaker 2: I'm going to get pennies as well. Mate. I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be another soul taken all takers. Starting
Speaker 2: off Sunday, we have the Storm Wow up against the
Speaker 2: West Tigers. No changes, both teams as they were last week.
Speaker 3: So Storm throwing me at the end of the game. Yeah, look,
Speaker 3: there was there was one year. There was one a
Speaker 3: week before Magic Round. I think I might have said
Speaker 3: this a few years.
Speaker 5: Ago and happened. Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Melbourn had a bad loss. Can who's against In the
Speaker 3: press conference? You might remember this, Craig Bella, he said,
Speaker 3: I'll replace the whole team before I have to. Nobody's
Speaker 3: safe and I said he would, I said, and I
Speaker 3: just said ship. We're playing them next week at Magic
Speaker 3: Round sixty eight or something. I don't know what it was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just you know it's coming. You know when he said
Speaker 3: something like that I.
Speaker 6: Wouldn't lose a lot this year, Like, yeah, there's just
Speaker 6: I've seen his angry face looks I'm going to go Tigers.
Speaker 6: That's probably gonna.
Speaker 3: I just I don't know.

Speaker 6: or playing nice little Galvin like Ryan. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 6: Taruver's you're buller Bullers then, I don't know. I just
Speaker 6: did something's wrong with Storm at the moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, are the Melbourne Melbourne Park or Double am I Park?
Speaker 5: After a lot? Can you imagine the top of week
Speaker 5: the storm boys have had, I don't think very pleasant
Speaker 5: them at three quarter pace the Storm and with that
Speaker 5: their best storm work win and win will. Yeah, it'll
Speaker 5: take them a while, it'll take them while to break
Speaker 5: them down, but oh we will. We will.
Speaker 2: Big test for the Tigers. But yeah, I'm with you mate,
Speaker 2: I'm going for the Storm as well. So we've got
Speaker 2: three Storm tenures going the Tigers. And to finish off
Speaker 2: of the round, it's a battle of the beaches. We've

Speaker 5: good record at four points. If I'm if I'm not wrong,
Speaker 5: I have no, I didn't get to do any of that,
Speaker 5: haven't too many times. So for then tenous benefit.
Speaker 3: Remember what Jay Gibson used to say, it's just a
Speaker 3: patch of grass with a fence around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: basically that matters when the bill rings. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I might go the Sharks as all mate. So we've
Speaker 2: got two sharks and yeah, two sharks and too manly
Speaker 2: for that one, I think, and that rounds up the round.
Speaker 5: They're very similar teams in terms of in terms of quality.
Speaker 5: So I expect the humdinger of a game.
Speaker 2: I really do.
Speaker 5: Even even stylistically, they're not that far away. Both teams
Speaker 5: like moving the ball, big outside back, bringing the ball back,
Speaker 5: so it might be a might be an entertaining game
Speaker 5: on our Sunday afternoon.

Speaker 5: a good team and he gave him enough structure to
Speaker 5: just miss out of the eighth. This year they're top four.
Speaker 5: They're not a good team, but because he gives them
Speaker 5: enough structure and they give him parks to do what
Speaker 5: they have to do, they come over most of the teams.
Speaker 5: The guys a good coach. The guys are very good coach.
