What a week? 28 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.200 And hey on, oh so. 29 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.799 Happy our only grand finalists the moment. 30 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.280 You, George were the printingste They're nice tucked in in 31 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.519 the can, in the can, undergo in the can. In 32 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.560 the final week Storm versus Bronx, is it? 33 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.159 Yeah, what a great match. 34 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.000 We're talking about it later, but what what it was 35 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:52.560 a good match? 36 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:52.760 Yeah? 37 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.280 You get away great in. 38 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:56.439 The week, Michael. 39 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.560 Thing of the week is. 40 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.959 Real PA Player of the Year fourth time in a row, 41 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.799 fourth time now is James de Disco. The only person 42 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.760 who's done that before is Jonathan first will done to Teddy. 43 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.319 So one thing I like about this one is he's 44 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.080 thirty two years old. A couple of years ago ron 45 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.159 had him as retired. A lot of teams are quick 46 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.879 to get rid of players once they hit thirty. They think, 47 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.360 you know, they're too old at our cars or what's 48 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.120 his name? The other guy that we got King Gutho's 49 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.759 and whatever as since they hit thirty, they're too old, 50 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.400 let's get rid of it, and they've lost his speed. Well, 51 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.840 Teddy just goes to show that no matter how old 52 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.520 you are, you can still be a good player. And 53 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.719 that guy's all class. And he's had a worker team 54 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.759 than other years. He's had better teams that he's played 55 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.919 for and never won and won it. But this one 56 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.560 he won with a young team of eight debutantes. And 57 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.039 it's hats off to Teddy. Good year and well done. 58 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.759 Hopefully it gets to the dam as well. 59 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.120 Maybe maybe Look, I'm not sure what's going to come 60 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.240 in front of in front of him next year also, 61 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.560 but this year was an extraordinary year, extraordinary for his age, 62 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.199 for the team you had. I'm sure even to say 63 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.759 that he played okay, you play it okay, and not to. 64 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.879 Like digress at all. But there's a thing right that 65 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.240 because I read a lot. There's a thing called a 66 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.319 book called The Outliers, and they talk about and we 67 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.120 see it with the boys as they get better throughout 68 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.120 the season. It's a ten thousand hour all so usually 69 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.879 find and he talks about athletes and when they're born 70 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.319 and you know, like the hours they put in, and 71 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.319 usually when you hit the ten thousand hours, you've become professional. 72 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.240 So if you look at how often he plays, like 73 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039 his training, like you know, the challenges or how he 74 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.120 has to adapt, it would make sense that he is 75 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.639 getting to the point where he's becoming elite. 76 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.080 Does anyone in this room nowhere the ten thousand hour originate? 77 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.800 No, but actually I've actually heard half that book. 78 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.879 I don't think he took it, like he didn't create it, 79 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.639 Malcolm Gladwell. 80 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.439 But the got that book the ten thousand hours is 81 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:56.639 the Beatles. Oh really ten thousand hours in a club 82 00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.800 in Germany before anyone knew who they were boot Boodles 83 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.479 in the okay, when they still had pete based on 84 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.479 drums on drums drums, So yeah. 85 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.719 I think, And it's funny we start to see the 86 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.680 guys really come into a good stride this time of year, 87 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.399 which is annoying because we're almost a band. Yeah, but 88 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.680 one of the daily ms, it's obviously like after. 89 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.199 The Grand Final, no, no, no, tomorrow, during the week Okay, 90 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.319 it's why why, especially since the concussioner all changed, I've 91 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.600 been saying it should be a week off before the 92 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.120 Grand Final so you've got two week breaks. 93 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.160 So any concussions are cleared, makes sense, any niggling injuries 94 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.639 are cleared. You can dedicate the whole first week to 95 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.000 media and the breakfast and the daily ms and all 96 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.360 the rest of the bullshit and kissing babies and photos 97 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:48.759 and all that, and then the second week just get 98 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.800 down to preparation. That makes sense. That's what happens in Americans. 99 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.720 And apparently what's his name, fucking fat boy Slim or 100 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.160 whatever pulled out of the Grand Final. 101 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.240 Swims said he's okay. They ranged him up and apparently 102 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.120 recovered under I read a story that it happened he 103 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.839 pulled out of a concert on the weekend, and then 104 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.439 that fears that he's not going to make it. But 105 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.560 Abdo confirmed yesterday on and then the word three sixty 106 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.399 and he said that they contacted rooms and he's fine. 107 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.480 Did they have Teddy waiting for with his squeeze with. 108 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:24.279 Now that was the good. 109 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:25.279 There's always a bad. 110 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.519 What it's actually a bit of a shame this week. 111 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.600 It's it's unfortunate, but we've seen the I don't really 112 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.920 know how else to put this, but the Sharks their 113 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.560 finals winning streak of two matches has come to an 114 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.240 end once again. 115 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.680 So poor shut. 116 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.120 Talking all the ship this year, the hype about after 117 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.439 they won one game and then then they won, then 118 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.439 they won the second game, and and they're not nice 119 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.959 guys anymore and all the rest of it, and they 120 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.800 were and they're too. Match winning streak has come to 121 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:04.439 an and he was calling Nicole the bad boy Nicol. 122 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.839 So they crawled back under the little rock from where 123 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.920 they came from and back to back to square one. Disappointing, disappointing. 124 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.399 We expect a little bit more from bad boy Nicola 125 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.879 and his mates there at the Shire. 126 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.600 But not what do you guys, what do you guys 127 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.360 put when we're going to talk about it, what do 128 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:22.839 you guys put? 129 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:22.920 That? 130 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:23.360 Down to. 131 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:25.519 The game? 132 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.360 The game. 133 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.439 He went missing, All the big names went missing. 134 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.279 Yeah, it's it's It was a funny. It was. It 135 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.120 was a funny old game. Because I don't think that 136 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.000 Cornella played Paul. I really don't think. I don't think 137 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.839 they played Paul. I think Melbourne the Spine especially was 138 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:51.639 was outstanding. And uh, Stefano has become a different human being. 139 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.319 He's come he's become paint hust. 140 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.079 Like maybe three good games. 141 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.240 At the moment, all I can do is judge him 142 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.879 on the last game, the best game of his career. 143 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.600 You're all I'm gonna do is judge him on his 144 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.639 last game. And he was playing huss like the Melbourne Storm. Uh, 145 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.519 the Melbourne Storm spine controlled that game. I'm telling you now, 146 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.199 the halfback Duram Hughes, he still got to break an up. 147 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.319 I'm telling you now, how he did what he did. 148 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.480 They didn't target him. 149 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.800 They didn't target him. 150 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.399 They tried. 151 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.399 I think they tried at the start, but that just 152 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.439 that's just not good enough to tell you. I think 153 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.279 they tried to the. 154 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.079 Guys running on one arm. There's no excuse. You gotta 155 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.360 run your big man anymore. Now. 156 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.759 Yeah, yeah, he actually pumped off some some guy with 157 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.199 his bad It was amazing, but he was he was outstanding. 158 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:47.920 And we said Stefano was outstanding. Harry Graham and uh 159 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.360 and Tanya's Tanya's favorite Cameron Monster my god, my god. Well, 160 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.399 the spine and and and and paper house, and that's 161 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.240 that was the That was the all. The the spine 162 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.720 of the Storm just got the job done. On the 163 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.079 other side, I think they really tried. I think I 164 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.199 think everything went to plan. The Cernal forwards went forward, 165 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.399 they rolled then then for Blake it's not first thing, 166 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.040 but second stint it was outstanding. It was like I said, 167 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:24.120 another one paying hassl Like, uh, but I don't know. 168 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:29.480 Just you know, the supporters are blaming Paul Kennedy for 169 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.039 not getting the job done, but Kennedy's on two hundred 170 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.120 and fifty thousand dollars. Kennedy is pretty good value. 171 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.679 The sport is the last people you asked. 172 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.399 I'm just saying they're never get they're all blaming him. 173 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.360 You never get a logical view from. 174 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.879 They're blaming him. Look, Trendle Trindle was Trindle went missing. 175 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:57.200 I think then Nicol just said that Nico had an 176 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.480 ordinary game as well. 177 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.120 So I don't know. I think all the pieces are there, 178 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.720 but someone's got a someone. Melbourne is just too good man. 179 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.240 It's just coached and you know what it is, George 180 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.399 too good. I know you guys are waiting for these 181 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.279 rookies to come good. But in the last twenty years 182 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.480 it's Cleary, Robbo Bellamy has It's the same and we're 183 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.360 going to see the same. 184 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.120 Again this year. We're going to see Cleary against was 185 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.720 his name McGuire and he's won it as well. You 186 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.639 know what I mean, These rookies, I don't know when 187 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.240 how long it's going to wait till they get one. 188 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.320 But FITZI is come the closest. But I can't see 189 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.120 anyone outside of Bellamy, Cleary or Robbo, all these guys 190 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.399 winning the next five premierships. Says until they retire. 191 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.559 Maybe. Nicol always says that the cream rise at the 192 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.840 top all the time. It does. 193 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.440 And Bellamy just outplayed Fitzy, that's all he is. He 194 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000 professional coach and knows how to play it perfect fair enough. 195 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.120 I can't. 196 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:50.679 I can't put my finger on Coronella. 197 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.519 Yeah, now, the referee was atrocious and I'm going to 198 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.879 bring ten in here because I don't know how much 199 00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:00.000 lucks go Ashley Klein. So but he was, he was out, 200 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.600 he was he helped. He just helped helped us spam 201 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.919 in the game, because every time you stop start then 202 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:14.279 the ground comes into into play. About about clin I think, well. 203 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.600 Look, you know, I know we'll talk about it. But 204 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.960 the ref certainly tried to help Panthers on the weekend 205 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:24.360 and it didn't. 206 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:26.279 You want. 207 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.720 I talk about this with the boys, Like we're talking 208 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:35.960 about the game, the Storm Sharks game and their run 209 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:42.000 home hasn't been you know, very difficult, Like I haven't 210 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.240 seen the game, like the team that Storm can be 211 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.399 for like I think I've said this like every week, 212 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.559 but they haven't. I probably would have expected them to 213 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.919 like smash them a bit more like there's there's something 214 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.879 that's happening in that team where like they're they're great, 215 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.759 and are we just like, oh, they're so good because 216 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.480 that we're conditioned that Storm are good, right, But I wouldn't. 217 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.679 I just I thought it was going to go one 218 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.960 or two ways. I thought either the Sharks were going 219 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.480 to beat them by like you know, hair or Storm 220 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.720 like we're going to completely going to smash them. And 221 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.519 like I quite like Storm, like I think they're good, 222 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.639 but I just I feel like they've just been a 223 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.399 bit off recently. 224 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.000 Klein. 225 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.480 I don't know, like I don't know what's happening with 226 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.360 the refs, Like I just I feel like there are 227 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.960 very obvious things that they miss as well. 228 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.320 Yeah it's too much and in the first half the 229 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.960 balls in play for twenty two minutes. 230 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.279 Yeah, well that's suits terrible. Well that suits Melbourne to 231 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.799 t that's what I'm terrible. The slovel the better. 232 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:54.000 Yeah, so I wasn't. I actually thought the Sharks were 233 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.480 going to win. But I just haven't seen the Storm 234 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.360 that we've seen in previous years. And we could, you know, 235 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.399 we could say there's been injuries and everything else, and 236 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.639 obviously I'm very partial to Broncos, but we've also had injuries. 237 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.279 And do you think it was one of the Storm's 238 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.879 better performances of the despite they're not hitting the heights 239 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.159 that you're saying, was it one of the better performances. 240 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.440 Yeah, I would say so, But they've they've hit pretty 241 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.039 like some looking at their previous games, like they've they've 242 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.120 had better like games though, like I think at the 243 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:36.399 beginning of the year, probably before all the injuries. But yeah, yeah, 244 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.799 the largest reason for their massive points difference is when 245 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.320 they absolutely smash the Tigers this year as well. But 246 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.320 I think I don't know, like I thought it was 247 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.000 like a good game. I just yeah, I probably expected 248 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.960 them to go a bit harder. I don't think the 249 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.919 score reflected what you know. 250 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.080 So do you think so you think Carnell was closer 251 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.039 to to them, because I think think I don't think 252 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.360 Coronella ever looked like I're going to win the game. 253 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.240 Yeah, like the game. Who did they play the week before? 254 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.480 Because they were. 255 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.679 Brilliant Coronel Yeah, yeah, camera. 256 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.360 That game and they traveled for that. They played in Canberra. 257 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.960 Coronola got in there on the back of these good defense. 258 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.320 They defended very well against the Roosters, and they defended 259 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.000 well against Canberra. And I thought against Melbourne they were 260 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.720 in there. Man, it was you know, they scored a 261 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.559 try early and then Coronella hit back straight away and 262 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:33.039 I thought. 263 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.399 Oh that's good. 264 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.559 They could have just sat back, but they hit straight 265 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.000 away and then they went in at half time. 266 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.679 Was a toll vight or something? I can't remember again, 267 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.799 I can't put my finger. I can't say the Coronela 268 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.960 played bad. I really can't. 269 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.240 They defended was just I can't say. 270 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.679 But they don't play great. But I can't say they're 271 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.279 playing bad. Now we can pick little bits and ps. 272 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.320 We said about Nickel, but he didn't play bad. But 273 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.080 it should be great. It should be great. Yeah, he 274 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.440 should be. He should be. And and some other players, 275 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.639 you know, I mean, like they say about Kennedy and 276 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.519 you want us to think about they say about Kennedy, 277 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.720 not that he's a bad player, but your full back 278 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.320 is supposed to be like Papenhauser at this end of 279 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.360 the year. Oh yeah, I look for me. I like him, 280 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:21.639 but look at so So that's what I think. That's 281 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.600 what they're alluding to. Not that he's not a good player. 282 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.639 He's a great value for money. But and I think 283 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.360 the forward pack I think for no Blake is amazing. Yeah, 284 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.960 he's amazing. I think break Blake. 285 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.840 He was brilliant. 286 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.960 He was his best year. Yeah, yeah, it's really good, 287 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.679 really good. Billy Burns got that background, the wrecking machine, 288 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.080 So I can't they. 289 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.399 Played bad too much. Winning streak came from and help 290 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.200 what a what a streak and what a streak, one 291 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.039 of the greatest final It was better than last year 292 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:59.279 one Game one too. They're improving, they're improved. The two 293 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.919 prelims in a old and complain. 294 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.320 If you know what, if you told me and you 295 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.080 told me you made a prelim this year, you're happy, 296 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:05.759 I'll take it. 297 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.360 I'll take it. I'm on board. I'm on board. Better 298 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.279 than losing forty six a halftime and game one that. 299 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.600 Was going one. But that's going on. I don't know. Look, look, 300 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.399 who do you in terms of the game. So you 301 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.679 think they've got improvement in it? Storm? Yeah, absolutely, I. 302 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.120 Have to you have to improve, They have to improve. 303 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:34.360 I just you know, you kind of watch different coaches, right, 304 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.720 and like you don't obviously I'll lean towards what I'm'm 305 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.360 more familiar with. But you've got Bellamy that absolutely like 306 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.279 rips them apart. And you guys have all played played sport, 307 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.639 and then you and you've your leaders too, and then 308 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.360 you've got coaches that are a bit more I guess 309 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.320 they're forward with their leadership. So if we compare Christian 310 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.840 Wolf with you know whoever, it might be right. So 311 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.480 I feel like the boys, I think they respect like 312 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.399 Bellamy and everything, but there's that it's very obvious that 313 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.240 he would be quite difficult, right, Whereas if you watch Madge, 314 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.559 you know, like even the press conference after with Reynolds 315 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:20.200 is incredibly humble and again I have very tinted rose glasses, right, 316 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.759 But I don't know, I think there's improvement. 317 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.799 You watch you watch House target Town, right, m Yeah, 318 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:28.759 he saw just liking the change. 319 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.480 Yeah, they deserve the but. 320 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.120 That's his style. That's he's just better he's better at 321 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.120 putting on a posa face in front of the cameras. 322 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.480 He's good. Bellamy is not really good at doing that. 323 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.440 I don't know. I'm not you know what. That doll 324 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.720 seem to love him behind closed doors. So yeah, they 325 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.440 say that. They all do say that. He goes on 326 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.440 and he does spray just randomly. Sometimes it just goes 327 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.720 to sprays. But I don't think they sort of take 328 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.799 it seriously sometimes. Monster said, sometimes we walk down and 329 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.119 start laughing. So I don't I think they've got some 330 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:06.200 sort of balance down there. 331 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.559 I don't know. 332 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.039 Yeah, you know, but Nicole told me something RT which 333 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.559 I didn't know, and I should have known. Eleven Grand 334 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.400 finals the guys made this would be number eleven. So 335 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:17.680 there's something doing. 336 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.480 In twenty three years as a coach the finals twenty 337 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.000 two times. 338 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.759 I can't believe that. 339 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.319 And the only time we did it was when they 340 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:23.920 were expelled. 341 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.920 Yeah, I can't believe. That's amazing. That's a that's a 342 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.119 record for anyone. 343 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.960 Eleven sorry, ten. 344 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:31.680 Hours. 345 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.240 There you are. 346 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.599 If you look at if you look at these two 347 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.759 teams too, if you look at their line up, their 348 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.400 spine in twenty twenty two, which is four years now, 349 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.200 same spine as what they had then to what they've 350 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.200 got now. I think the only difference is Shark said 351 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.039 Moyland as well and Trendle was coming through, so they 352 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.880 were sort of backing each other the spines. Yeah, Melbourne 353 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:58.279 had the same Pappenhausen, huge grant and until last year Penry. 354 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.240 They lost up the curus after the first Grand till 355 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.519 last year. But they lost the first round Hill hooker 356 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.079 and then they replaced him and then they lost either 357 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.039 one after that, So they lost two of their spine 358 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:09.319 going into this year. 359 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.119 But they know, I mean like they lost final, Yeah, 360 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.559 but then they were intact until this year. 361 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.079 Probably spine probably about that was that hooker. They got 362 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.039 their spine. There wasn't another hooker. There was one, and 363 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.480 that he came after the Yeah, there was another hooker 364 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.440 after Rappy and then it. 365 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:31.680 Was yeah, happy that it was still there. It's a 366 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.759 good question that wasn't he's going to Super League this 367 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.680 year now, yeah, but he's been there mostly the hookers. 368 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.039 But yeah, but those two teams particularly, they've had the 369 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.880 same spine there going into the semi finals game. 370 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.480 So what you're saying is they've been stable they've been stable. 371 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.640 Yeah, and they've had the luxury of having that, you know, 372 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.599 and a lot of teams have that luxury. You know, 373 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.240 you keep your spine intact the whole time. 374 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.160 Did you did you like any other performance that hasn't 375 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.160 had a couple of very long sin Yeah, he did 376 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.240 in that time almost two years. 377 00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.920 You know, you know what the guy, the guy freak 378 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.000 up because I know he's quick and and he's eager, 379 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.119 and he's he's full of courage, but he's a small man. 380 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.480 He gets he gets ragged around so much, he gets hit. 381 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.039 So I just keep from bouncing up and he goes 382 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:13.000 good on. 383 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.599 But if you look at that Melbourne spine, before they 384 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.039 had Harry Grant, they had Cameron Smith, what a good 385 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:29.880 and before Jerome Hughes was cronk before.
