Speaker 2: hard week week at work? I need to. We actually
Speaker 2: did record a podcast last week and there were technical
Speaker 2: issues with it being uploaded to apologies for that because
Speaker 2: that's literally where round twenty is. George, when's that in
Speaker 2: the can? Can lives closed? Now? Was that point releasing
Speaker 2: it now? But yeah? But yeah, unfortunately, how are you ten?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Good, really good? I am. It's actually not too
Speaker 4: cold up here. It's been I know it's like down there,
Speaker 4: but it's been raining a fair bit, like i'ves it's
Speaker 4: kind of making it a bit warmer. Like the other
Speaker 4: day it's like twenty degrees up there.
Speaker 1: To they go, okay, no we're not. We haven't got
Speaker 1: those numbers here down here too. Today was pretty the
Speaker 1: day was a bit warm because it was a bit overcast.
Speaker 1: I was a little bit warmer, but generally it's been
Speaker 1: it's been down to fifteen's and and night it's gone
Speaker 1: to single digits, eights and fives.
Speaker 4: Is everyone a bit sadder when it's colder in Sydney?
Speaker 1: I like, you know, you know what, We've still got sunny,
Speaker 1: crisp days team. So it's not like gloomy like Melbourne.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, probably So it's not terrible. I mean the
Speaker 1: nights get nights get cold, but it's like that, it's
Speaker 1: not terrible terrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was actually talking nick about it, but I'm
Speaker 4: recruiting a couple of roles because we recruit nationals, so
Speaker 4: I was recruiting a couple of full tech roles and
Speaker 4: plumbers and like with the team. I was talking to
Speaker 4: a guy this morning and he just sounded a bit sad.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're right, Sydney or Melbourne night Sydney,
Speaker 1: you know, And then.
Speaker 4: They kind of hear that. Every time I go to Sydney,
Speaker 4: people always know I'm from Queensland. I'm hopefully friendly.
Speaker 1: The Queensland thing was billy to say, little bit Queenslander. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys been watching a bit of a sport outside
Speaker 1: of rugby league boxing?
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean we watched the Poor Gun I mean
Speaker 2: you watched it, right, I've got the Poor Gun fight
Speaker 2: last Wednesday night. They go, yeah it look, you know
Speaker 2: they hadn't neither one of them study your Williams and
Speaker 2: Paul Gallant. Neither one of them had fought in three years,
Speaker 2: so you know they're a bit rusty. Sunny landed much
Speaker 2: cleaner shots. He had a much cleaner style Gallant. Gallen
Speaker 2: pushes forward, he comes forward, that's his style, and he
Speaker 2: goes to the body of lot. So he landed a
Speaker 2: lot more and you got win on a split points decision.
Speaker 2: I thought it was probably a bit closer and a
Speaker 2: tough one to call. Sunny landed some great then three
Speaker 2: great uppercuts in round two, and then you didn't throw
Speaker 2: them anymore? Are you? He stopped throwing them. That was
Speaker 2: odd because when you when you spot a weakness, you
Speaker 2: chase it, you know. So it was entertaining. I mean,
Speaker 2: seventy bucks much. Yeah, and I didn't watch the undercard
Speaker 2: because we were recording, which I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 2: watch it. Anthony mondne Son was one of them, but
Speaker 2: I didn't bother to go back and watch it. It wasn't
Speaker 2: really interested. But I enjoyed the main event and went
Speaker 2: the distance eight rounds, two minute rounds, short rounds. So
Speaker 2: did you end up watching it? No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did, and I just want to.
Speaker 2: So I was going for Gallan. I was going for Gallon,
Speaker 2: she was going for Sonny for Salevill Williams, and I
Speaker 2: don't know. At one point you just stopped texting me.
Speaker 2: I didn't he so I figured.
Speaker 4: There was Tim Zoo, which was I think a surprise
Speaker 4: to everyone. I was saying before we got on the potty,
Speaker 4: and like he got hurt in around two and then
Speaker 4: just tacked out at eight. And there's lots of controversy
Speaker 4: around all the fights, like even the Mani Pac one
Speaker 4: and the Gallon one. Many pack Yard didn't win, So
Speaker 4: that's that's disappointing, but lots of split decisions.
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan. I'm so glad when I know
Speaker 2: that you said that.
Speaker 4: I think I think it's more you know, for me,
Speaker 4: Like you know, my mum's from the Philippines, and yeah,
Speaker 4: he represents the Philippines. Yeah, but getting out of a
Speaker 4: terrible environment.
Speaker 2: But I told you you need to do your homework
Speaker 2: on Floyd Mayweather. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got this lecture last week because Floyd went George
Speaker 4: is very outwardly very shall we.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know he had six or seven siblings,
Speaker 2: grew up in a one bedroom in Great and Rapids, Michigan.
Speaker 2: They had nothing. His mother was a heroin addict. His
Speaker 2: dad went to jail for dealing drugs. A genuine hard
Speaker 2: noch oh mate, Yeah yeah, what he what he did
Speaker 2: was what he's done. Is the man packards the same.
Speaker 2: A lot of these guys, you know, Tyson like arrested
Speaker 2: thirteen times before he was thirteen.
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of these guys don't get into
Speaker 4: boxing unless they have some sort of life. That's a
Speaker 4: very general, broad sweeping statement. But usually find that. I
Speaker 4: guess you find it in most sports, right, but I
Speaker 4: find boxing just not. It's a bit sloppy.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll tell you what really surprised me, and it's
Speaker 2: easy for me to sit here and talk about it.
Speaker 2: But I think Tim Zu's career is over because what
Speaker 2: he did. And you guys might not know what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about, but a lot of our listeners will. No mass.
Speaker 2: Do you know what no mass is? Roberto Due and
Speaker 2: Sugar at Leonard, I'm not a boxing man. When DuRane
Speaker 2: won the first fight Sugar and his first ever lost
Speaker 2: and in the rematch, Roberta DuRane normas no more. He quit.
Speaker 2: It's man. Looking up his documentaries on everything and that's
Speaker 2: what Tims you did. The referee went to his corner
Speaker 2: and around and he said, he said, do you want
Speaker 2: to go on? He said no, And like again, it's
Speaker 2: easy to say sitting here, but when you're in that situation,
Speaker 2: you'd go out and lose before you quit. He just quit.
Speaker 4: Did you see Nick? How they were kind of saying
Speaker 4: that Anthony Mundine overshadowed his son's fight by saying, Danny
Speaker 4: Green's kid will be coming along nicely soon.
Speaker 2: It's not when they talk about Anthony Mundine's dad like
Speaker 2: he was a great boxer or something. I mean, his
Speaker 2: nickname was Canvas Back. They used to put advertisements on
Speaker 2: the bottom of his shoes. Seriously, anyway, this isn't a
Speaker 2: boxing show and talking about I know you guys watched
Speaker 2: the bit so two bullfairs got in the ring and
Speaker 2: I paid seventy bucks to watch it. But running out
Speaker 2: of stuff to watch boxing is dead now, you know.
Speaker 2: We grew up on it. I'm not a big MMA guy.
Speaker 2: I was in the early days, Like I've actually got
Speaker 2: videotapes of the UFC when it was before it was UFC,
Speaker 2: like from ninety two to ninety three that I used
Speaker 2: to buy from from the markets. You know. It was
Speaker 2: almost being like Ken Shamrock, Dan Saverne, those guys you know,
Speaker 2: from the very very early days, and I followed it
Speaker 2: up until the tit or Teas, you know, Chuck Ladell,
Speaker 2: you know, all those guys, and then yeah, I kind
Speaker 2: of lost track after that. It just take the wrestling
Speaker 2: out of it, and I'll watch it, But when they
Speaker 2: go to the mat and spend five minutes hugging each other,
Speaker 2: it just gets boring.
Speaker 4: I think. I always because Corey used to study and
Speaker 4: teach kung fu, and I grew up on you know,
Speaker 4: Bruce like gently like all those got Jackie Chan, like
Speaker 4: I grew up martial arts. So I and for so
Speaker 4: many reasons spiritually, you know, philosophically, like just the you
Speaker 4: know state of flow that kind. I love martial arts.
Speaker 4: So when I say it's messy, because I've seen live
Speaker 4: boxing fights, gone to charity events and stuff, and the
Speaker 4: audience is.
Speaker 2: Just you know, when I was, when I was thirteen forty,
Speaker 2: my other brother in law, who you haven't met, Andy
Speaker 2: and you probably meet him soon. One night here him,
Speaker 2: I said to him, I said to him, because he
Speaker 2: used to come over every night when him and Luisa
Speaker 2: were just dating and I said, I want to start
Speaker 2: doing karate or something, so me and Tony Cavalaro, he
Speaker 2: started taking us too. We looked back in those days,
Speaker 2: you looked it up in the local paper. And he
Speaker 2: started taking us to local taekwondo, keto, keto, yokuchin and
Speaker 2: I didn't like any of them. I didn't like any
Speaker 2: because this is not fighting, man, this is dancing. It's ballet.
Speaker 2: And when when when I saw mutai, which is kick boxing,
Speaker 2: tie boxing with elbows and knees, So this is it,
Speaker 2: this is it. And then I spent eight or nine
Speaker 2: years doing it. Brutal, brutal, but that's fight. Like you
Speaker 2: get into a nightclub. You haven't got room to say,
Speaker 2: stand back. You've got to fight at two three four
Speaker 2: inches apart, right, And that's what boxing is, you know,
Speaker 2: And then the elbows and these come in it.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I think I find that interesting because, like I
Speaker 4: was reading, because they like in kung fu, they obviously
Speaker 4: have like you know, masters and BJJ of your professors
Speaker 4: and that kind of stuff. In this style that Corey
Speaker 4: does or did, it's a specific type of stance and
Speaker 4: it's actually designed when you're fighting in tunnel. So it's
Speaker 4: a really old so everything's very close movement versus like
Speaker 4: you see, you know extends.
Speaker 2: I just want, like with Taekwon day, you've got the
Speaker 2: kata and all that. You know, this is at that
Speaker 2: age you're not into the spiritual aspect of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you want pragmatic, you want to be able to fight.
Speaker 4: I think I just like you know historical stuff, like
Speaker 4: how in China they pretty much cut any form of
Speaker 4: martial arts. It was only a special group militia team
Speaker 4: that I only knew kung through, so they had to
Speaker 4: teach all the come through and passed down through generations
Speaker 4: in secret. Like it's it's pritty cool. I'll give you
Speaker 4: a book that I was reading. It's amazing to read about.
Speaker 2: Anyway, later on we'll cover Banglad. There's tournament right now.
Speaker 2: We should probably get back to footy, right. Your blogs
Speaker 2: are intense when it comes to this stuff. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize too. I didn't realize. Okay, I'll just say this,
Speaker 2: Do you know Dean Dean listens to the pod When
Speaker 2: you spoke to Dean the other nighttown on the phone
Speaker 2: when we went out for my birthday, when Mike Tyson
Speaker 2: lost the buglet Buster Douglas and we did school, were
Speaker 2: too depressed at the school on the Monday. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: true fun. So let's get into George. What's the good
Speaker 2: thing of the week? The good thing of the week.
Speaker 2: That's a very good question.
Speaker 1: I was watching it R or W game actually it
Speaker 1: was the Eels and the Raiders last week, and on
Speaker 1: the sideline, Zach was I think, happened to be walking
Speaker 1: like around around the stadium, okay, because it was before
Speaker 1: their game, and he saw a young a young lady
Speaker 1: in consolvabily crying, just crying, and he stopped, and the
Speaker 1: cameras happened to be on him, stopped, and he started
Speaker 1: talking to her and you know, I mean dried her eyes.
Speaker 1: And he was there for at least, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: five minutes, you know, talking to her, stopping to talking.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was nice because he could have
Speaker 1: walked straight past over. So for Zach to see a
Speaker 1: young a young young girl, she might have been twelve
Speaker 1: crying and stop, it just it shows it shows his character.
Speaker 1: And I bring these type of humane stories up because
Speaker 1: Arthur started bringing like these personal stories and when I
Speaker 1: saw it, we don't.
Speaker 2: See enough of it. They don't they don't write it
Speaker 2: in print media. Well no one, No negative stuff gets headlined,
Speaker 2: so no one you like that know about it. I
Speaker 2: just have to see. Then my eye told me Lomax
Speaker 2: was crying after the game or something. Which one is
Speaker 2: that what you're talking about? A young girl? Okay, a
Speaker 2: young girl was crying. I just said, it's because he
Speaker 2: realized he's playing for Parrot. But it must have been
Speaker 2: a different story. I was. I was happy.
Speaker 1: Uh wasn't teaching how to kick goals? You know it
Speaker 1: was two weeks ago anyway. No, So that that's that's
Speaker 1: my that's the good thing of the week. I want
Speaker 1: to put Zach up for for, you know, just consoling
Speaker 1: a young girl.
Speaker 2: And and what's has been this week. You're not gonna
Speaker 2: like it. You're not gonna like it. And I don't
Speaker 2: want to drag this, but it comes up at the
Speaker 2: same time every year, this whole we can't pick an
Speaker 2: Australian team because they haven't decided whether they want to
Speaker 2: play for Samara or not. Yeah, I hate it with this.
Speaker 2: You be no tears. The should all be one teer
Speaker 2: in rugby league. And guess what if you want to
Speaker 2: play for Sama, play for Sama, be not eligible for
Speaker 2: state of origin. But the period for the Australians, well
Speaker 2: not if they're playing for Sama, Well are you Australian
Speaker 2: or are you got to pick one? But they're born here,
Speaker 2: well pick one or then they should be playing for Australia.
Speaker 2: This whole thing started because a bunch of these idiots
Speaker 2: weren't good enough to make the Kangaroos. They so they
Speaker 2: decided to become everything else. Maybe right.
Speaker 1: You know what if you if you if you look
Speaker 1: at the big picture, then I all won't change the
Speaker 1: tiering system because if you look at the big picture
Speaker 1: they're doing and then I was doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: Because if you want Australia winning fifty mil every every
Speaker 1: year and decimate the world, I'll.
Speaker 2: Give you the big picture. I'll give you two player names,
Speaker 2: and I know you're both fans of both of them.
Speaker 2: Tell me if these guys were made for Origin or
Speaker 2: Sunny Bill Williams Jerebia Hargreave. Yeah, of course? What Why
Speaker 2: isn't that okay for New Zealanders to play Origin? But
Speaker 2: it takes care for some moments to play Origin. Absolutely
Speaker 2: that the ranks are one the.
Speaker 4: First team behind that is it more money?
Speaker 2: Of course they want to make it more competitive, right,
Speaker 2: soas half of the half of the thirty players who
Speaker 2: played origin and playing, so it goes, it goes.
Speaker 1: It goes back to grassroots and infrastructure in the actual country.
Speaker 1: So if your if your heritage is if you let's say,
Speaker 1: if your father's Greek and I want to play for
Speaker 1: I want to play for the Greek national team, I
Speaker 1: can play for the Greek national team. But because I
Speaker 1: was born in Australia, I can play so of origin.
Speaker 5: Unless does that You've got to pick one and that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, look, you know what I mean. I got
Speaker 1: foot in both camps because I want the international game
Speaker 1: and it's got to grow, so we can get more
Speaker 1: people playing and bring people.
Speaker 2: To the NRAL to grow a game that not a
Speaker 2: lot of countries play. AFL won't grow. But they're manipulating,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Not not that I was
Speaker 2: ever even good enough to play for the local team,
Speaker 2: but I couldn't play soccer for Italy even though both
Speaker 2: of my parents were born there because I don't have
Speaker 2: an Italian passport.
Speaker 4: But the other thing too, like who was it that
Speaker 4: played is half marry, half Indigenous, and the last game
Speaker 4: he played.
Speaker 2: They've all pertained like Junior Paulo, so many of them
Speaker 2: have already represented both.
Speaker 4: That's what I mean. I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I agree when I was, when I was growing up,
Speaker 2: State of Origin and you know, you know this, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm going to say. State of Origin was
Speaker 2: a selection trial for the Kangaroos team, right, That's what
Speaker 2: it was. It was a trial series to pick the
Speaker 2: Kangaroo's team for the tests that were coming up. Now
Speaker 2: now most of those players aren't even representing Australia. It's pathetic. Again,
Speaker 2: that's my opinion. That's just one man's opinion. No, I
Speaker 2: get it. I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand what because most people say what you say,
Speaker 1: most people don't irritate that what you say. I can
Speaker 1: see both. I can understand what the land is saying
Speaker 1: for the big picture and expanding.
Speaker 2: The game and all those things.
Speaker 1: And I get that it's no more, it's no more
Speaker 1: a trial to play for Australia, and it's the jewel
Speaker 1: in the in the crown. The stay of Origin is
Speaker 1: the jewel in the crowd. You take that away and
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. Trust me when it comes to revenue,
Speaker 1: when it comes to everything. Also they've got to protect
Speaker 1: that with their life.
Speaker 2: Which is fine, right, but keep the prestige there, then
Speaker 2: keep keep the integrity of it, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 2: so now we've got players who are apparently they're not
Speaker 2: Australian anymore playing State of Vigin, but but New Zealanders
Speaker 2: cut or Victor Raveny. This tear is just bullshit. It's
Speaker 2: this tearing system is an absolute load of hog ship.
Speaker 2: If two teams are playing each other on the same
Speaker 2: field for the same trophy, it's not teared making. They're
Speaker 2: at the same level. I agree making, I agree making
Speaker 2: might as well. Sorry, I get a little bit passionate.
Speaker 1: I understand it because after me things the way you think,
Speaker 1: and after me have have discussions. We've we've had we
Speaker 1: started one at six o'clock in the morning in the
Speaker 1: afternoon and finished six o'clock the other morning about this thing,
Speaker 1: and we got top, we sleep and all the rest.
Speaker 1: And I understand. So that's what I mean. I understand,
Speaker 1: I get it. But in the big picture, because we
Speaker 1: have got limited, limited amount of players, this is the
Speaker 1: best option for for everything. So like I said, we're going.
Speaker 1: We're going to England and there will be a competitive game.
Speaker 2: Mitchell Moses can play for Lebanon, but you can play
Speaker 2: for Australia as well. Any Southwest play for Your son
Speaker 2: played for Australia last year. He played for Lebanon, what
Speaker 2: two years earlier than that. That's pathetic. So if I
Speaker 2: don't make one country, I'll go and represent another. Where's
Speaker 2: the integrity? But that makes that the idea is to
Speaker 2: make we don't need strong, we don't need Lebanon, but
Speaker 2: we don't need tongue or some are no, no, we
Speaker 2: need to Well, you know, I grew up watching Australia
Speaker 2: versus Great Britain and I'm telling you what. They were
Speaker 2: awesome clashes.
Speaker 1: And it will be awesome again at the end of
Speaker 1: the year as well, because I think you can pick
Speaker 1: fifteen players from England and there'll be a strong, strong team.
Speaker 1: But the small tongue, all the Pacific islands we're talking
Speaker 1: talking about, and.
Speaker 2: Then you know what I reckon, They should make it
Speaker 2: like the West Indies, pick one Irelander Polynesian team like
Speaker 2: the West Indies is a combination of everyone Pacific and
Speaker 2: I like, I love the Pacific idea. I love the
Speaker 2: Pacific idea so.
Speaker 4: Back, but the Saudi Arabian League three six is going
Speaker 4: to just shake it up.
Speaker 2: Well I was going to talk about that. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: is going to like we.
Speaker 4: Can talk about it, but it's kind of defeats the purpose.
Speaker 2: I won't be watching any Saudi Arabian anything. It will
Speaker 2: be rugby anyway, so we won't watching it.
Speaker 4: But well, if it's an off season, I'm going to
Speaker 4: be watching it.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be off season too, it won't
Speaker 1: be off season unfortunately.
Speaker 2: What's soccer? So let's go in the controversy corner with
Speaker 2: the Rabbit as Alex Johnson has extended for two years
Speaker 2: with the Bunnies. Oh really right, So he's a really
Speaker 2: good chance of breaking kenov Ones all time tries to
Speaker 2: going to record, he'll break it. Yeah, have to go.
Speaker 1: So he probably won't do it this year, I'd say,
Speaker 1: because it runs a little bit hard and he's playing
Speaker 1: full back.
Speaker 2: It's got two years. Oh, he'll do it early next year.
Speaker 2: He'll do it early next year.
Speaker 1: And it's something that I thought will never be broken,
Speaker 1: and we spoke about we spoke about before because Ken
Speaker 1: Irvine was an elite player and an Australian player. It's it's
Speaker 1: amazing that Johnson can can break a record not being
Speaker 1: well arguably not being an elite player. So we haven't seen,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen where Actually he's he's a Fiji international,
Speaker 1: but he's international, but he hasn't worn the blue of
Speaker 1: your so far was the green of Australia.
Speaker 2: So that reminds me of Nathan Blacklock back in the day.
Speaker 2: He couldn't get a guernsey for the for the Blues
Speaker 2: and he was three years in a row something leading
Speaker 2: tryscor in l yeah, or before it was NRL or
Speaker 2: actually around that time.
Speaker 1: It's strange some some some coaches just have a certain
Speaker 1: way of a certain style of playing.
Speaker 2: Still, it's a good story because you don't want to
Speaker 2: see a player that get pushed out of I love it.
Speaker 2: Into that club, I love it, And I thought they
Speaker 2: were going to move him on. But I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 2: glad because he's thirty years old. Now I'm glad he's
Speaker 2: got two more years. Well have you heard the rumors
Speaker 2: about Shibasaki maybe being on the outer at the Broncos?
Speaker 2: Fox Sports wrote about it today? Really, yeah, what are
Speaker 2: they saying up there just that there's no guarantee of
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I'm referring to the article just at his
Speaker 2: no guarantee of being there.
Speaker 1: You know what, The cap must be getting pretty squeezy
Speaker 1: now at the Broncos. And I know they've got lots
Speaker 1: of good third parties, lots of good third parties out there,
Speaker 1: but still even.
Speaker 2: The reborn origin starf facing being squeezed out of the
Speaker 2: Broncos due to a salary cap squeeze. As clubs line
Speaker 2: up for his services. Broncos are keen to keep him
Speaker 2: on their books, but are struggling to fit him into
Speaker 2: the salary cap after resigning a number of stars on
Speaker 2: long term deals. His manager, who I'm not sure who
Speaker 2: it is, has been inundated with interest of course, So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm interesting to see how that plays out. Brian Madison's
Speaker 2: has also been released on loan to the Super League
Speaker 2: to go he's already gone, which but I think he's
Speaker 2: on I think he's on loan though. Okay, it's interesting
Speaker 2: because I don't know if it.
Speaker 4: Was a it's a controversy thing, but did you guys
Speaker 4: see the thing about does Hazler like blowing up and
Speaker 4: getting the players out.
Speaker 2: Of their shouts after the actually actually feel sorry for
Speaker 2: for the in Warrington.
Speaker 5: George, you get at Warrington. Yeah, just for the rest
Speaker 5: of the season. Okay, so it's still contracted fixt year
Speaker 5: with paramounts.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Warrington Warrington. Warrington is a big Sam's team
Speaker 1: and they're not doing too well. They're sort of missing
Speaker 1: the beatle bit but hopefully.
Speaker 2: And Bryce cart Bryce Cartwright was let go to play
Speaker 2: Ron Massy playing message he's still got he's still a
Speaker 2: good enough player to play. I think he wants to
Speaker 2: sort of try to get back to.
Speaker 1: Penrith. I've got this because he's gone to his old
Speaker 1: junior club. So he's going it's funny, what did you
Speaker 1: ask me to?
Speaker 4: Sorry? I think it was a long time coming and
Speaker 4: it should have probably happened like ten rounds ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you're really unlucky.
Speaker 1: They were unlucky. But in terms of Dessy and we
Speaker 1: all know, and I'll pull my hand up that I'm
Speaker 1: a deasy fan. But you know what, Daisy, run away
Speaker 1: because you don't need at this age, you don't need
Speaker 1: that aggravation.
Speaker 2: They're just the club. Remember when he ripped the door
Speaker 2: off the Hinges.
Speaker 1: The club up there, it's rotten. The players are rotten
Speaker 1: up there. They don't know what hard work is. If
Speaker 1: they got surrounded and they had obviously some lo the
Speaker 1: Bulldogs are two years ago. We'll see how which one
Speaker 1: who would last? You know what I mean? So you
Speaker 1: know what, just go there please. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: you probably won't get another job, but you've done enough, Daisy.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're in your late sixties days and he's
Speaker 1: mid to late sixty.
Speaker 2: I think it's about sixty issues. Isn't he a bit more?
Speaker 2: A bit more than that? Surely? I mean when did
Speaker 2: he retire? He was playing with it was playing with
Speaker 2: Langmak and him wasn't he won the Grand Fire with
Speaker 2: mainly in eighty seven he was the halfback. Okay, maybe
Speaker 2: he's not, maybe he's not.
Speaker 4: And then and then obviously the other controversy was old
Speaker 4: mates elbow to the face. I don't know if we're
Speaker 4: going to talk about that.
Speaker 2: There was yeah, you know what you're talking about. Solomona
Speaker 2: Nelson for Solomona Zach Lomax did exact same thing in
Speaker 2: state of Origin. He wasn't penalized for it. How did
Speaker 2: they get away with that ship. And I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: glad that he wasn't obviously, but he should have been. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: look how many weeks did he get? Two weeks?
Speaker 1: Yes, two weeks, Okay, yeah, Look, it's funny. It's the
Speaker 1: inconsistency rex of reris of. I don't know what it recks,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't read it is it is a It
Speaker 1: is a style that they all teams, all teams do
Speaker 1: to get up, like swing the shoulder backs. Look, he
Speaker 1: was not doing it on purpose.
Speaker 2: He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't do it on purpose. It just happened to
Speaker 1: his elbow connected with someone's head.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm really not sure about.
Speaker 4: It was pretty obvious, but because Manny was watching it,
Speaker 4: he was like, oh, that's terrible, Megan, and I will, well,
Speaker 4: if you go back even ten years ago, like that
Speaker 4: was pretty uncommon if we didn't get elbow in the
Speaker 4: face during a game, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 4: think the general consensus over the last round from what
Speaker 4: I've been reading, is just fans like we were last
Speaker 4: week and hopefully we can get that episode. But we've
Speaker 4: been like this in previous ones, just generally frustrated with
Speaker 4: the inconsistency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, definitely they won't they won't do it.
Speaker 1: But the riff wee's have got too much on their
Speaker 1: on their plates.
Speaker 2: You know. Well, I'm sick of the excuses, and we'll
Speaker 2: get into this when we cover the I've got a
Speaker 2: couple of things I want to say on that when
Speaker 2: we when we get a bit further in the NRL.
Speaker 2: Have back the referees, cause in the two calls for
Speaker 2: the Dragons against the Bulldogs, I thought that, I mean,
Speaker 2: which maybe the first one was contentious, the second one
Speaker 2: definitely not.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that that played the ball, I don't Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so fifty fifty.
Speaker 2: Well you know what he did, like, I mean, it
Speaker 2: was just trying, was just standing up. Yeah. But he
Speaker 2: did have his hand on crass back. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: kind of easy. Yeah. But the second one was tip on.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a knock on. It wasn't it tipped it on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I think Flannel was just a little bit of
Speaker 2: I look, he.
Speaker 1: Was upset because that was a better team on the night.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that was a better team on the
Speaker 1: night over the eighty minutes. So he needed two points
Speaker 1: pretty badly. So yeah, of course he's he's he got upset.
Speaker 1: But I got a I got a better idea for flannel.
Speaker 1: Just make sure your winger doesn't come in and exactly
Speaker 1: hold his line and make his tackles in it. You know,
Speaker 1: just the simple holding hold your line. There is no reason,
Speaker 1: no reason for Sloan to to rush in. Then then
Speaker 1: when you when Sloan rushed in, well, Galvin had one
Speaker 1: option make.
Speaker 2: It really easy to became easy for him.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he held, if he held his shape, well,
Speaker 1: then Galvin actually had to play ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll never know. One other thing I'd like to
Speaker 2: add is that I watched in three sixty yesterday because
Speaker 2: Gordon Tallas wasn't they should get that Dane what's his
Speaker 2: name all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, I don't watch three sixty or Door
Speaker 1: watch any of those magazines.
Speaker 2: I loved tell Us as a player. Yeah, of course
Speaker 2: when he was playing Saint George used to see him
Speaker 2: and Nathan Brown together a lot out of the roundabout
Speaker 2: of Hearstville.
Speaker 7: Okay, but ricking machine absolutely, But as but three sixty
Speaker 7: he's I mean, first of all, he's boring, but he's
Speaker 7: so he argues like a school kid, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, you can't mention Kevin Walters because it's one of
Speaker 2: his close mate. He's just he's just like he argues
Speaker 2: like a kid in the school playground. Dude, just shut up.
Speaker 2: And he's given me a why.
Speaker 4: To him, it's just cantankerous.
Speaker 2: And I've never heard that word before.
Speaker 1: What does that mean to someone who dropped out a
Speaker 1: new turn to me? What does that mean?
Speaker 4: This is a cranky, cranky man that has an opinion
Speaker 4: that is his own.
Speaker 5: He doesn't offer everyone. He just argues like a school
Speaker 5: He doesn't offer too much. Yeah, there's an old saying.
Speaker 5: You can't argue with the buffet because it's always right.
Speaker 5: You can't argue with someone who's always right. Yeah, Jesus
Speaker 5: is a good player.
Speaker 1: Jes look like I liked him as a player. I
Speaker 1: liked him as as a coach. Look maybe maybe maybe
Speaker 1: things are beyond him, but he has his team. He's
Speaker 1: not responding to him. I can carry to you there,
Speaker 1: you're not responding.
Speaker 4: But also like he's a coach. He's not the coache.
Speaker 4: He's a coaching.
Speaker 2: It's just will know he's going to go, Will know
Speaker 2: he's going to get sacked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also, so why would they be buying from
Speaker 4: the team. It's like when the Dolphins dipped after Bennett
Speaker 4: after being there for a year and a half, was like, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm going to the rabbit Os, like we saw the
Speaker 4: end of their season. Like that's not very inspiring. It's like,
Speaker 4: why should I try for you if you're going to leave?
Speaker 2: You know. At the same time, they're full time professionals
Speaker 2: who get paid a lot of money, and you should
Speaker 2: be able to hit a certain level. That's the other regardless,
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, I agree, I agree, I don't know. Again,
Speaker 2: easy to say sitting here.
Speaker 1: Well gold Look, if you're talking Gold Coast, I'm going
Speaker 1: to put them in the two hard basket.
Speaker 2: I've got no I'm relying on them to get the
Speaker 2: experiences that we know. Oh no, they're specials. They're specials.
Speaker 2: There's specials, Nicola. We've got anything else for controversy corner? Nothing?
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'd like to do a shout out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the lovely and beautiful Jojo who's listening to the pod now,
Speaker 2: she's she's catching a rugulag bug thanks to me. She's
Speaker 2: a Victorian, so she's she's not what rugby league before,
Speaker 2: but now she actually googles the score when a mat
Speaker 2: of players and consoles me every time they lose. So
Speaker 2: that's every weekend and she's a bit of a regular
Speaker 2: listener now. So we're glad to have you on board.
Speaker 2: Jojo jojoh.
Speaker 4: Someone said to Cuda, you're a mad league fan or
Speaker 4: you just get roped in, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, oh, the rule, rape the rule, whatever works, do,
Speaker 2: whatever works.
Speaker 4: Joy that league is better than the NFL.
Speaker 2: Let's move into the round. That was or was it
Speaker 2: around twenty So the Dolphins opened up with another big performance,
Speaker 2: forty three points to twenty four over the hapless Cowboys.
Speaker 2: I didn't see a couple of games this weekend. This
Speaker 2: was one that I didn't see, but that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 4: So close I want to see the Dolphins crack the
Speaker 4: sixty this year.
Speaker 2: Have they done? Ye? Have done? They came close? They've
Speaker 2: got fifty four eight Yeah yeah, wow. They actually beautiful
Speaker 2: to watch. What what did? What did you get out
Speaker 2: of this one day? Up there?
Speaker 4: Always like Hamma, It was brilliant and it was funny
Speaker 4: because like me, McGahan Cray have like a you know,
Speaker 4: just like the NRL tipping comp thing that every runs
Speaker 4: in and the boys will be like, and even when
Speaker 4: I talk to you, guys are like, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: who's your tip kind of thing. And they were a
Speaker 4: bit confused because like do we go Dolphins Cowboys? And
Speaker 4: like obviously Dolphins because they're mini Broncos. And it's so
Speaker 4: enjoyable watching it with the boys like and and Manny
Speaker 4: like he I'll get him on one day and even
Speaker 4: the listeners will be like, wow, he probably knows more
Speaker 4: than we do from perspective. But it was just like
Speaker 4: Hammer's amazing, like asuck is you for a try? Like
Speaker 4: they just they came out because who did they lose
Speaker 4: to last week?
Speaker 2: Last week? Carnela?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, And I that that game. I was like, look,
Speaker 4: they like Carnela didn't win, Like, in my opinion, I
Speaker 4: don't feel like that that was a fairly even contest
Speaker 4: with all the guys that are out. But it was
Speaker 4: nice to see the Dolphins kind of come back with
Speaker 4: the injuries they have got stuck out for the rest
Speaker 4: of the year. And how much just makes did you
Speaker 4: watch this Georgia makes He just makes it look so
Speaker 4: smooth and he's always smiling when he knows he's about
Speaker 4: to put the ball down.
Speaker 1: Well two, you set out there, there's nine regular first
Speaker 1: graders out from his team, so that's that's nearly nearly
Speaker 1: a team. So for them to do what they're doing
Speaker 1: is quite extraordinary. Really use anything six and they're not
Speaker 1: winning six out around Yeah, so yeah, look.
Speaker 2: Well now they lost the fallback too, and that's seven
Speaker 2: now yeah, yeah, Well the Dolphins have got going out,
Speaker 2: which again is extraordinary. I love they're performing, is that
Speaker 2: they're performing somehow. The Christian Wolf Man, he's got Christian
Speaker 2: wolf We don't know much about him. We're not talking
Speaker 2: much about him at either, right and we should we
Speaker 2: should be.
Speaker 1: We should be because he's he's a he's a coach
Speaker 1: who who's paid his dues. He has done his time
Speaker 1: in assistant roles in Australia. And let's not forget the
Speaker 1: Super League, Super League. Make no mistake, the three of
Speaker 1: the three from Saint Helen's now he got him. He
Speaker 1: got him there because when he got him, they weren't
Speaker 1: in the on the bottom part of the semi finals.
Speaker 2: They are now.
Speaker 1: So let's give him some credit. And we see this
Speaker 1: is a team and what happens to a team when
Speaker 1: Wayne Bennett leaves, they usually crash out.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you it's not fair to judge
Speaker 2: because they've had horror. I mean from what I'm about
Speaker 2: the say, it's not fair to judge. But in hindsight,
Speaker 2: I'm glad that we missed out on Bennett and got Ralphs.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward now. No, he's been. He's been a revelation.
Speaker 2: And that's not that's not a no criticism, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: They've had more injuries and he's been.
Speaker 1: He's been a revelation. But the key players this is
Speaker 1: this Dolphin teams. I think Jake Averello at number six
Speaker 1: is an inspired move. And I'll tell you what. As
Speaker 1: the year goes on and he performs like this and
Speaker 1: he gets a combination with Katala, he won't he won't
Speaker 1: get moved.
Speaker 2: He won't get moved. He's he's that good.
Speaker 1: Allo is so good and not And like I said,
Speaker 1: when I saw him as a young man, can he
Speaker 1: killed me when he when he left killed me, killed
Speaker 1: killed me.
Speaker 2: I knew he was going to Dolphins.
Speaker 4: The Dolphins story is so good right for so many reasons.
Speaker 4: And he's just and Nick knows what I'm like. At
Speaker 4: some point I'm going to because I'm in the process
Speaker 4: of writing my second book, but at some point I'm
Speaker 4: going to get into which I'm already trying to make
Speaker 4: my way in there to be either here or someone
Speaker 4: in the Dolphins for because the next books around business
Speaker 4: and building teams and things like that. But they've got
Speaker 4: that thing that I always that I'm just if you
Speaker 4: could bottle that, that's synergy, that amazing leadership. You know
Speaker 4: what Monster was for the game, like that thing. I've
Speaker 4: got that, and you guys know, But I don't feel
Speaker 4: like anyone else realizes what a threat they are in
Speaker 4: the calm.
Speaker 2: Absolutely if they make the AID. If they make the aid.
Speaker 1: Too well absolutely long term oh no, no, no, long term
Speaker 1: and what they've got underneath is mind boggling. So no, no,
Speaker 1: there what you call them mini Broncos, I agree, I
Speaker 1: agree many Broncos. This is the team to fit and
Speaker 1: they've made it.
Speaker 4: On their own. I think Bennett Going was really good.
Speaker 2: At the moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninth and and I'm not sure about their own home.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised if they do make the
Speaker 1: aid and course some case, some problems when you've got
Speaker 1: someone like Isaia Kataa in in this game, he was
Speaker 1: he was amazing in a different way. Let me touch
Speaker 1: a little bit on the Broncos. I'm going to say
Speaker 1: the pathetic. And why do I say the apathetic? The Cowboys?
Speaker 1: Sorry the Cowboys, the pathetic? Sorry, God, I thank you.
Speaker 1: They were pretty bad. And when I say that pretty bad,
Speaker 1: there's spacings in defense was were terrible. There were holes everywhere.
Speaker 1: Isaiah always must have lit up. He goes, this is
Speaker 1: this is, this is my paradise.
Speaker 2: Look at all the holes everywhere.
Speaker 8: And it was putting everybody through holes. You know what,
Speaker 8: we've ball in hand. They're okay when it comes to tackling.
Speaker 8: They just don't want no part of it. And and
Speaker 8: I'm not going to dwell on dwell on the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: And I don't even know if it's a coaching thing.
Speaker 8: I really don't.
Speaker 2: And some of the older guys I think, is Tamala
Speaker 2: coming back soon? Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 4: Exactly you probably said Broncos because to us jumping on tonight.
Speaker 2: We were talking talking Bronx. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was saying, you know, they're like the Broncos last year,
Speaker 4: like all talent like you've got Talungey drink.
Speaker 2: Just think Tom, Tom didn't them.
Speaker 4: You've got all these brilliant guys. But then there's some
Speaker 4: there's that thing that's missing, that the.
Speaker 2: Dolphins have something missing. There's something's missing. And again, I'll
Speaker 2: say it again, I'm not even sure if it's coaching
Speaker 2: to I'm really not sure. I know what it is.
Speaker 2: I've seen it with my team. I've told you before.
Speaker 2: It's that that crucial forty minutes before and after halftime.
Speaker 1: So look, Cowboys were terrible and the Fins they just
Speaker 1: they just keep on impressing me. If Herbie Farm Farm
Speaker 1: work with ball in hand is the most damaging ball
Speaker 1: runner in the game. At Cenna, you said about the
Speaker 1: hammer he's when he runs, it's elegant, it's beautiful. It's
Speaker 1: like a gazelle. It's like a gazelle. You know.
Speaker 4: There's so much love between them.
Speaker 1: Absolutely that that was That's the word I got from
Speaker 1: a convert from an interview I heard from a young
Speaker 1: Katoa on s CN that they're so they're so tight.
Speaker 1: I want to give another shout out to Kurt Dona,
Speaker 1: who now I don't.
Speaker 2: Even think he's a lock.
Speaker 1: I think he's a hooker, but because of the thing
Speaker 1: in the in the fours, they just like him a lot.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, guys, the guy's a maniac.
Speaker 2: How many tackles does he do a game? Does he do?
Speaker 2: Forty five? Fifty tackles? Tea?
Speaker 1: You know what, he wasn't meant to debut this ship.
Speaker 1: You know that he wasn't meant to be a first
Speaker 1: grader this year. But how you going to get him out?
Speaker 4: I was actually reading because obviously I've got and then Elise,
Speaker 4: so Isaiah is the brother of but the Katoa in
Speaker 4: Storm is not related at all to them, because I
Speaker 4: was sitting as Corey and I was like, can you
Speaker 4: imagine the kind of greatness in that family? Just even
Speaker 4: with those two guys anyway, but if they were all related,
Speaker 4: like that's just because I was thinking, you know, Katoa
Speaker 4: and the biggest panels, the little one will get confused
Speaker 4: and he's like, wait, he plays for Storm and we're like,
Speaker 4: no different one. But imagine just like what that growing up? Like?
Speaker 4: Well what would it be like? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: My brothers tell you there's a famous SD ball team
Speaker 1: which Katole was seven. That's why Lecky was in the centers.
Speaker 1: They told me the names, and it's like it's like
Speaker 1: the Penriff and the you know all these players you
Speaker 1: know more And apparently they didn't lose the game.
Speaker 2: They didn't. They didn't. They didn't lose under forty points
Speaker 2: a year, so to see.
Speaker 4: But No k was brilliant, like Asarco always like he
Speaker 4: was off. He did five out of seven compresions but
Speaker 4: hit the penalty goals. But he was pretty tired.
Speaker 1: Look, I'll say it again, the fin's going from strength
Speaker 1: to strength.
Speaker 2: Nicola.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him again play because I
Speaker 1: just love watching him play. I actually love watching their
Speaker 1: patterns play. And there's and people think it's we're throwing
Speaker 1: the ball for good luck. No, it's a pattern. It's
Speaker 1: it's a one hundred pattern. And the Cowboys, I look
Speaker 1: at the list and I get excited and I watch
Speaker 1: them play and I go the same old rubbish they're
Speaker 1: going to dish up to.
Speaker 2: So let's move on. Let's move on, let's move on,
Speaker 2: let's move on the Shark. He is back in the
Speaker 2: winning circle. They won last week as well, but bety
Speaker 2: one points to eighteen over the Chookies. What a game.
Speaker 2: I got in trouble for saying something about the Roosters
Speaker 2: last week to a few of my friends really and
Speaker 2: and them, and I said, what do you get when
Speaker 2: you go to a Roosters game? You know what I said?
Speaker 2: A bunch of cocks watching a bunch of cocks. I
Speaker 2: love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: The Coronela Sharks n a couple of weeks ago had
Speaker 1: a brutal It was a by round and by around
Speaker 1: and they had apparently they had a brutal, honestly session.
Speaker 1: Since that since that day, since that training session, what
Speaker 1: I believe, everything's changed. They look a million dollars. They
Speaker 1: look fantastic. Young young Blake Brailey is shooting out of
Speaker 1: dummy half really straight straighting the making heaps of meters.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Nico looks like the Nico
Speaker 1: with the gold medal around his neck the last three
Speaker 1: or four matches. And I hope he keeps it up
Speaker 1: because you know that I've got a sou for Nico.
Speaker 1: Adam Phenol. Blake is just charging back in the middle
Speaker 1: and they're just clicking it just it's just working so well.
Speaker 2: This team.
Speaker 1: They're looking like a top four team, which are not
Speaker 1: in the top four team. In the top four team.
Speaker 4: One of you guys were saying last year that the
Speaker 4: Sharks get one of the best draws.
Speaker 1: The last three years in a row because because Eddinghusen
Speaker 1: does the whole drule.
Speaker 4: Because I was explaining it to Manny because Money was
Speaker 4: looking at it, and he's like, because you know at
Speaker 4: the end of the game, how they show the next
Speaker 4: couple of games they pay. I was like, look at
Speaker 4: because I said the term before and then the games
Speaker 4: showed up and I was like, see. I was like,
Speaker 4: look at that. I was like, you don't think that
Speaker 4: they're not going to win.
Speaker 2: I think the first year in the last four where
Speaker 2: they haven't had busiest strong They're.
Speaker 1: Run, they're running. They play at the bottom outside the
Speaker 1: eight teams. Yeah, so they're going to make They're going
Speaker 1: to make the aid anyway, and how high up I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, but they're going to make the aid. But
Speaker 1: the thing is that they're running into some really good
Speaker 1: form maybe for once in the last four years their time.
Speaker 2: They run and they have one hit four they've won
Speaker 2: one finals match in three seasons. Yeah, exactly last year. Yea,
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe this is maybe, yeah, maybe this is different,
Speaker 2: and we're waiting to see. We're waiting to see look
Speaker 2: into of the roosters. They had.
Speaker 1: They had a bad hair day. They really had a
Speaker 1: bad hair day. One of two his favorite players, Teddy
Speaker 1: for him. It was a bad game. He did score
Speaker 1: a try, but the amount of drop walls, the amount
Speaker 1: of mistackles from all this team, the Chad looked. Chad
Speaker 1: had a good a good career. But it's time for
Speaker 1: him to go and raise kids because he's not a
Speaker 1: first grader. He's not a first grader. And I don't
Speaker 1: even like his podcasts actually, but it's time now, it's
Speaker 1: time threw a grandma after roof something like that. Sam Walker.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of Sam Walker. But Sam Walker hasn't
Speaker 1: played for a while, and his first instinct to go wide,
Speaker 1: not straight, So he goes white. He crowds everybody up,
Speaker 1: and he just throws sometimes these passes which cramp people
Speaker 1: up and sell hospital passes.
Speaker 2: He'll get better. As the sex Week's whispers that his
Speaker 2: dad and uncle would be in line to take over
Speaker 2: the Titan roll. You know they're co coaching.
Speaker 4: And they probably find out.
Speaker 2: And they want a co coaching gig. They've applied for
Speaker 2: several Okay, yes, there's whispers about the gold Coast. Yeah,
Speaker 2: look just quietly.
Speaker 1: You know what, the gold Coasts have tried nearly nothing else,
Speaker 1: and you never know, you might even get Sammy in
Speaker 1: the in the deal. Yeah, So, all I can say
Speaker 1: about the Rousters it was it was an uncorre characteristic
Speaker 1: poor performance. Any team that misses forty five tackles shouldn't
Speaker 1: win the game anyway, And Carnella were just white hot
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see him play again. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if the russ got a horrid run. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if the Rusters going are going to make
Speaker 1: the eighth this year. But let me tell you, compared
Speaker 1: to what we thought at the start of the year,
Speaker 1: whatever happens from now and on, because they've discovered so
Speaker 1: many good youngsters, they're they're doing well.
Speaker 4: Yeah next year.
Speaker 2: An interesting story on the Roosters, And you guys might
Speaker 2: have may already know this, but I was. I was
Speaker 2: doing some reading up in the week on the whole
Speaker 2: Isaac Moses team. You know, he was suspended twice and
Speaker 2: he was brought back right suspended along with the other
Speaker 2: well known manager as well. For get his name now,
Speaker 2: but they were just they was slap on the wrist things.
Speaker 2: But you know, the second time he was brought back,
Speaker 2: it was actually Nick Poliitis who got him reinstated. You
Speaker 2: know why he wanted to play, He wanted yeah, everybody.
Speaker 2: But then the reason he doesn't talk to him now
Speaker 2: because he snaked him, well, because he did a deal
Speaker 2: with so to get a union. So when it's self serving,
Speaker 2: it's okay, right, that's what and that's what, and that's
Speaker 2: what I say.
Speaker 1: I don't get angry when when the Gallvan thing happens
Speaker 1: or when because teams moved players on remember Gus moved
Speaker 1: twelve two years ago.
Speaker 2: Teams moved players as.
Speaker 1: Much as four or five year Yeah, so I don't
Speaker 1: you know, it's just the way it is.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I thought i'd throw that in. You can see
Speaker 2: it on YouTube. There's a half an hour interesting doctor
Speaker 2: on Isaac moses that someone's put up Check it out.
Speaker 4: Tell you about that.
Speaker 2: Check it out if you haven't. It's really interesting. Panthers
Speaker 2: thirty points to ten over the rabbit as the poor rabbits.
Speaker 2: They're busted, Yeah, they're busted up. They're missing so many
Speaker 2: players now, now, Katie Walker's gone and the Trell Mitchell's
Speaker 2: gone standard period.
Speaker 1: And probably for the season. I say I'll shut them
Speaker 1: down there and try the youngsters. You know what, I
Speaker 1: before we get into the game, I just want to
Speaker 1: say something about this pend of team this year is
Speaker 1: I believe Ivan Cleary's best coaching from all those all
Speaker 1: those four years. I'll tell you why, when he got
Speaker 1: his ability to take young men and accelerate their developments.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're going to make the eight. I
Speaker 2: just I just I've been a shitty Eels team and
Speaker 2: they beat it.
Speaker 1: The player I'll no, I forget, forget who they're beating.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about their personal growth. So Jenkins' personal growth,
Speaker 1: McClain's personal growth, Blaze's personal growth. He's got the ability
Speaker 1: and we saw it the last four years. How he
Speaker 1: can he can really advance youngsters, youngsters growth. It's obvious.
Speaker 1: And in this year, you know what, they will probably
Speaker 1: make the EID and they're going to fizz out. It's
Speaker 1: about the next couple of couple of years. In in
Speaker 1: saying that exactly exactly what Nicola, Nicola said, they played.
Speaker 1: They played a depleted, non responsive South Sydney team, and
Speaker 1: when you've got Dylan Edwards running over three hundred meters,
Speaker 1: when you got Almighty, which I always knew was going
Speaker 1: to be a good player, but not this good Poor
Speaker 1: Ala Mighty Blaze and Bryant doing what they do, they're
Speaker 1: always going to go into win. Was it comfortable. It
Speaker 1: was comfortable. They did self showed something in the second half.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll ever ever indulged. Now people
Speaker 1: people keep on saying.
Speaker 2: That penfin this is on on on now what Nicol said,
Speaker 2: Penriff's back. No, I don't know if they're bad, but
Speaker 2: they're alive. I just think they've lost too much over
Speaker 2: the last three or four years. Absolutely, it's just you
Speaker 2: can't you can't produce them fast enough. It's not a
Speaker 2: knock on them. It's amazing that they've done what they've
Speaker 2: done exactly, but they're just they've been gutted that team. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: they're human.
Speaker 1: So it was It was a decent game, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that I don't think pen were ever in
Speaker 1: down on this game. Now, I don't know that they're
Speaker 1: run home, so I'm going to assume that they're gonna
Speaker 1: make the eight. So are they back I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about that. Are they alive, Yes, they're alive.
Speaker 4: Yeah they.
Speaker 2: Did you watch the game? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I did. But they run home. That's a crazy run
Speaker 4: home as wells Titans, Knights, Storm Raiders, Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: Last three, last three, that's the top three.
Speaker 4: No, but the next ones. That's a better practice for them.
Speaker 2: Well, the Tigers are in red hot form. They won
Speaker 2: over the last place Gold Coast. But we'll get to that. Yes,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the next game. Just move on.
Speaker 2: Let's move on this game. No, no, that was a
Speaker 2: little game. This is one of the games where texting
Speaker 2: me and you guys, I just googled the score. So
Speaker 2: camera forty or sixteen. I want to say a couple
Speaker 2: of things about this game. First of all, I was
Speaker 2: happy with paramount of leading at half time to go
Speaker 2: down the camera and in front of a packed house
Speaker 2: camera ran away with it and blew out the score
Speaker 2: in the last ten minutes. Para lost this game just
Speaker 2: with the amount of unforced eras and did you watch it?
Speaker 2: The amount of forced errors and just stupid mistakes. So
Speaker 2: so there's a there's the The pillar account was nine two.
Speaker 2: The parody count was nine to the set restart count
Speaker 2: was six nil. Now answer me this for a team
Speaker 2: that's losing at half time? Were they perfect for a
Speaker 2: team that's losing at half time with a five nil
Speaker 2: restart count?
Speaker 1: Was it first half the five nils? Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: thought it was all over the game. I thought for
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: Five five a half time. Okay, okay, the camera camera
Speaker 2: were perfect even though they were losing at half time. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: they were perfect. Actually they started like a house on fire.
Speaker 2: That's what I was pissing me off. Then all of
Speaker 2: a suddenly they, I mean, Parat lost it themselves. I'm not,
Speaker 2: I'm not, you know what I mean. Like the mistakes.
Speaker 2: They made some terrible mistakes. Yeah, a lot of the youngsters,
Speaker 2: but they're learning. Oh but I saw enough to But
Speaker 2: it doesn't help when you get again, like, camera must
Speaker 2: have been perfect. When you look at the parenty count
Speaker 2: and the restart count, it's rare that you see a
Speaker 2: team losing at halftime leading by such a heavy margin
Speaker 2: in those areas, So you know they're talking about consistency.
Speaker 4: They were saying at the beginning of the game that
Speaker 4: Sean Russell is the only player left in the Eels
Speaker 4: from in the last twelve months, and obviously you know
Speaker 4: there's movement. But I was like, holy, that is.
Speaker 2: Well, he's turned over the whole team. But there's there's
Speaker 2: seven or there's seven or eight or nine out at
Speaker 2: the moment, but five or six out of first graders.
Speaker 4: When's when's Moses this week?
Speaker 2: You'll you'll see him live? Yes, but the full backs gone?
Speaker 2: Now young future future future modal? Long? Are you sure
Speaker 2: he's part of Greek I've got his mum's between George
Speaker 2: and Arthur. Right, they'll spot a nine year old future modal.
Speaker 2: We can smell a Greek.
Speaker 4: We love mum's cretin my big from the Greeks invented everything.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we spot him from under sixers. We know, we
Speaker 2: know who this is.
Speaker 4: This was a rough game, I will say, just a
Speaker 4: bit of a side note. Judge Stewart's doing very well.
Speaker 2: Here's here's them, but not really pisses me off seeing
Speaker 2: Ricky Stewart on the sideline. Swell god, you know why,
Speaker 2: and you know why because he's only been doing it
Speaker 2: for like a year or so. He does it now
Speaker 2: because the media goes, oh, look at now Benji's doing
Speaker 2: it too. Do you think they want to be on
Speaker 2: the sideline. They want to be sitting up in the box.
Speaker 2: But the media pumps them up and you look a
Speaker 2: good day.
Speaker 4: You know it pisces me off and I will say
Speaker 4: Young is tongue and Cypriot, so with freaks.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Greek or cypris same thing to me. You can
Speaker 2: play for Greece, he's illegible to play for Green Brown,
Speaker 2: play for Italy, explain Craig. Yeah, anyway, Look, I was
Speaker 2: happy with the first half performance. Camera were too good
Speaker 2: in the second half, but I just think the lopside
Speaker 2: accounts didn't help. Yeah, look, and the individual unforced areas
Speaker 2: were terrible.
Speaker 1: Look, at the end of the day, I saw enough
Speaker 1: in Paramounta to know that the developing there on the
Speaker 1: right track. And I still say that he was the
Speaker 1: Jason is the best coach for this team and next
Speaker 1: is the you will see improvement.
Speaker 2: In terms of Canberrait Moses has hardly played this year
Speaker 2: as well. That's a big thing.
Speaker 1: You put Moses in his team, control, controlled in the
Speaker 1: flow and things might be different. But anyway, all back
Speaker 1: into the back end of the game. In terms of
Speaker 1: this Canel In terms of Canberra team, look, they keep on.
Speaker 1: They keep on winning, but they've got a bad habit
Speaker 1: of going in and out of a game, in and
Speaker 1: out of the game in terms of con sitration. So
Speaker 1: they're good enough to start off like a house on
Speaker 1: fire and put two trolls on you. Great, fantastic, then
Speaker 1: they go miss in. Then at the end they're good
Speaker 1: enough and they're good enough to blow a team away
Speaker 1: in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Fantastic and great.
Speaker 1: But when you're we're talking, because they're going to be
Speaker 1: more premiers, we're talking September now, I want to be
Speaker 1: sure that.
Speaker 2: They'll be top four. Anyway, they'll be top three to four.
Speaker 1: So back in the back end of the year, you're
Speaker 1: going to go through cycle one to two games to
Speaker 1: get into the GF.
Speaker 2: So I haven't seen it yet. Have they gotten into him?
Speaker 1: They've got eight weeks to or seven weeks to develop
Speaker 1: in that because they've got all the ingredients.
Speaker 2: He mentioned Jedge Stewart. Absolutely, I'm not sure if the
Speaker 2: start up the story. I'm not sure if everybody's back.
Speaker 1: He's in the team, because guess what is not letting
Speaker 1: anyone down k weeks is something something absolutely special. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about a kid I spoke to it,
Speaker 1: I spoke about him, spoke about him a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, owned Paddy Again.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not sure if everybody's back is
Speaker 2: even on the bench. But this kid will be the
Speaker 2: Marines hooker or in that team in the next in
Speaker 2: the next three to five years. He's that good.
Speaker 1: He really isn't He's only nineteen, I think so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But that's that's all about this game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, uh, thirty minutes at the end of
Speaker 2: madness and that's how lost the game and Cambridge keeps
Speaker 2: on chugging along. Happened with the Bulldogs twenty points to
Speaker 2: and over the Dragons in a very tight one. What
Speaker 2: a game? What what a what a what a what
Speaker 2: a great game?
Speaker 1: First half? We look, we look great, Nico. Honestly, first
Speaker 1: half I'm thinking of how good is this? We're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna win and win.
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's let's let's let's go to the elephant
Speaker 2: in the room, Lucky. You know what. Let's give Lucky
Speaker 2: some some time because he comes from a very simple
Speaker 2: system to very very very complex system, so he has
Speaker 2: to learn the system then change his sort of gameplay
Speaker 2: because he has to go more square than across, and
Speaker 2: his initial first movement is to go across, so I
Speaker 2: guess to change his ways. And one pass saved.
Speaker 1: His week because if that pass didn't happen and we
Speaker 1: lost the game, all the media will be attacking Galve.
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden he's thrown the pass, and wow,
Speaker 1: he had a great game.
Speaker 2: He didn't have a great game. He had a steady game,
Speaker 2: had a steady game. He didn't want to count. He
Speaker 2: didn't when he count he did, he didn't want to count.
Speaker 1: And and one thing I've got to give him credit
Speaker 1: to is the one thing I say about him in
Speaker 1: big moments.
Speaker 2: He wants the ball in his hands. So people kids
Speaker 2: don't do it, and it's easier to say slam moved
Speaker 2: in or whatever. But he saw that, he read it
Speaker 2: and he acted yeah. Oh absolutely no no no, yeah no, no,
Speaker 2: he did it. You know, you know what, what what what?
Speaker 2: This canoedy team has enough confidence to give him the
Speaker 2: ball at that minute, because I would be giving the
Speaker 2: ball to Burton, but guess what, they gave it to Lucky.
Speaker 2: So they're either being told they've either been drilled or
Speaker 2: they've ever got confidence to give it to him. So
Speaker 2: George was the better team on the on the night.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind over the eighty minutes.
Speaker 2: And that's why I found out a few times year,
Speaker 2: haven't I think six times under there really or should
Speaker 2: or could have won, should should have won. And they
Speaker 2: looked at me and me and dollars. They were more physical.
Speaker 2: They had had that second half. They had us in
Speaker 2: terms of physicality. If it wasn't for us scrambling defense,
Speaker 2: we would have been we would have been gone. And
Speaker 2: if it wasn't for Slang moving in, we would have
Speaker 2: been gone. I really enjoyed the game, Canary. He's not
Speaker 2: playing well at the moment, but winning, and that's what
Speaker 2: you've swapped the heart. There's an adjustment. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 2: that's that's what I mean. That's what I said. The
Speaker 2: swinning ugly is good, good sign.
Speaker 1: That's what I said at the start of the my
Speaker 1: my rant that you've got to give the kid a month,
Speaker 1: a month to understand even the system.
Speaker 4: Because he's always going to be under suppression.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Heaps suppression now from ever forever, forever, forever, and I
Speaker 2: believe you'll deliver. The thing is, the thing is this
Speaker 2: canoby system is extremely, extremely complex, even the defensive system
Speaker 2: where they where they in bad or you're bad, well
Speaker 2: they close up. Then as they come out they move out.
Speaker 2: That that takes I was still in some maas the
Speaker 2: other day, and I think I figured out exactly what
Speaker 2: his manager has planned for him to go to Canterbury
Speaker 2: and do his apprenticeship and he come over and replace Moses.
Speaker 2: You're joking about it, You're you're joking about who knows.
Speaker 2: But look, it's a good watch. But it had on
Speaker 2: the edge of the edge of the s A lot
Speaker 2: of these games were like a lot of these games
Speaker 2: were close. They were, they were.
Speaker 4: I just I don't think he's the best five eight.
Speaker 2: He's not.
Speaker 4: He just turned twenty still, So he gets so much airtime.
Speaker 2: That's not his fault though, that's not his fault, I know.
Speaker 2: But what a minute. It doesn't get air time up there,
Speaker 2: not not no, not as you know why, all right,
Speaker 2: And it's probably a good thing that no one heard
Speaker 2: last week's pod because I went off a little bit
Speaker 2: on it. But I'll just touch on it slightly. Now.
Speaker 2: You know why he gets so much airtime because of
Speaker 2: where he came from. Yes, it all goes back to
Speaker 2: the West Tigers. No, I'm just saying how many good
Speaker 2: players they're losing, and they've lost in recent years. Right,
Speaker 2: they're the ones who get on the airtime. Right.
Speaker 1: The media loves the media loves Media's got favorites, favorites
Speaker 1: to bay shop and one of them, one of them
Speaker 1: is the Tigers.
Speaker 2: But it's their own fault, fault, you know that whole
Speaker 2: gatherant thing. I said it at the time, Right, No one,
Speaker 2: none of us would have known a thing about that.
Speaker 2: If their ceo, Wait a second, if their CEO, Shane
Speaker 2: Richardson didn't come out publicly the following day and tell
Speaker 2: everyone what happened in a private meeting. He blew it out,
Speaker 2: He blew it up, and he he's the one who
Speaker 2: shipped the bed and he couldn't get the ship back
Speaker 2: into the horse the next day. And then it all
Speaker 2: went to ship after that. And then three guys who
Speaker 2: apparently don't speak to each other, Shane Richardson, feel Good
Speaker 2: and Isaac Moses all sat together and did a deal
Speaker 2: a month later, which we knew about three weeks before.
Speaker 4: They're not They're not the only team like that's going through.
Speaker 2: No one has no one's done it like them ten
Speaker 2: No one, right. Shane Richardson. San Richardson came in as
Speaker 2: the CEO, only goes, this club is one of the
Speaker 2: biggest and best in your bases, which is true. He goes,
Speaker 2: We're not going after big names anymore. We've got our
Speaker 2: marquee man Lui, who, by the way, no tries, no
Speaker 2: line breaks. Great signing there, right that they've won more
Speaker 2: games without him than they have with him. This year,
Speaker 2: he said, we're going to focus on our juniors. Now
Speaker 2: you've got Galvin, who technically is a paramount of junior anyway.
Speaker 2: But Galvin and the Silver both gone, two promising youngsters gone,
Speaker 2: and every Tiger's fan And they'll hate me for saying this,
Speaker 2: but I don't give a shit because it's the truth.
Speaker 2: Every Tiger's fan, I'll tell you I we don't care
Speaker 2: about losing the Silver because the guy behind him is better. Well,
Speaker 2: a month ago, you didn't know who the fuck he was,
Speaker 2: and no one was talking about him until the Silver
Speaker 2: announced he was leaving, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: it's next next cab off the rank. So this shit
Speaker 2: just keeps happening, And where's the guarantee that they're going
Speaker 2: to keep the ones that they're coming through anyway.
Speaker 4: But everyone in that whole scenario, they're all adults. They
Speaker 4: all made the decision. It was not just one person.
Speaker 4: They all collectively made the decision. So he's made his bed,
Speaker 4: he can lie in it. I just think he's not
Speaker 4: the best five eight. Yes, it's not.
Speaker 2: They signed a coach who has no experience anywhere in
Speaker 2: coaching as an assistant or anything, you know, right now
Speaker 2: for a club that's trying for a club that I'll
Speaker 2: say it again, in a competition where half of the
Speaker 2: competition makes the semi finals, they haven't done it in
Speaker 2: fourteen years, thirteen, fourteen years. That's pathetic, all right, And
Speaker 2: you don't go and hire a coach with no experience.
Speaker 4: Well up here they had. There was a bit of
Speaker 4: like last year when Wolf took over Dolphins, right like,
Speaker 4: and you know, because you're you're following the super.
Speaker 2: Coach, you know, yeah, I choose the field.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So I just think, you know, we've we've
Speaker 4: actually come through a really good period, but we haven't
Speaker 4: heard stuff. I just don't need to see Guskold regularly
Speaker 4: or stuff about Galvin because he probably is sick of himself.
Speaker 2: Well, if it wasn't the Tigers he left, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: wouldn't have had half the media that it does. They're
Speaker 2: an easy target because they make themselves an easy target.
Speaker 1: Can I answer that question for you to regarding Galvin
Speaker 1: and in terms of right this moment we're using.
Speaker 2: In his maturity, it's just started. Yeah, but Kato twenties, Well,
Speaker 2: Kato Kato, you'll put him in origin now he's read
Speaker 2: doesn't have the headlines that your talent. He's under a
Speaker 2: lot more pressure because of all this crack.
Speaker 4: But we're talking to you in origent, SOEs no.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is that if you put it,
Speaker 2: you can put him in by the way. By the
Speaker 2: way I said, I said it on this part about
Speaker 2: two months ago, and I can go back and find
Speaker 2: it if I need to, that Tigers is going to
Speaker 2: lose their hooker Silver because Shan Richardster was stupid enough
Speaker 2: after the Galvan situation to go on a podcast and
Speaker 2: actually state on a podcast that we were prepared to
Speaker 2: let players like the Silver go and throw that money
Speaker 2: at Galvin. But now that he's gone, we can turn
Speaker 2: our attention to them. What the fuck do you think's
Speaker 2: going to happen? I said it two months ago. Is
Speaker 2: this going an idiot?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 4: I think what it is the general consensus of the
Speaker 4: shitty calls the changing of coaches and then hiring everything
Speaker 4: like I say to the boys like and then I
Speaker 4: just seems to lock it down.
Speaker 2: You know what, he's something that he's something that toast
Speaker 2: fans are not going to want to hear. Right, No, No,
Speaker 2: it's truth. I'm only staying in fact.
Speaker 4: Who hurt you on the weekend?
Speaker 2: You brought it up. I'm calling it as it is. Right.
Speaker 2: You know those two former fucking tweedtl D and tweedled
Speaker 2: dumb Pasco and Leepalis right, the former CEO and chairman. Right,
Speaker 2: they were at Good Up a restaurant. Now, anyone who
Speaker 2: knows anything about rugby League in Sydney knows that Good
Speaker 2: Up a restaurant Likehard is an NRL hangout. Wayne Bennett there,
Speaker 2: it's his favorite restaurant. And you said you sitting there
Speaker 2: all the time, right, Lee hendgepen Talus back on what's today? Tuesday?
Speaker 2: I think it was on Friday or Saturday night. I
Speaker 2: wasn't there, but this is you can look it up Lee,
Speaker 2: had Talis and Justin Pasco were there in the restaurant,
Speaker 2: and you know how they were sitting at the table
Speaker 2: with three current first grade West Tigers players who are unnamed.
Speaker 2: Probably not, Why would you be sitting with the former regime?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: That automatically shows that you're not on board with the
Speaker 2: current regime. Think about it for a second. You could
Speaker 2: say there's nothing to it, but let's see how it
Speaker 2: plays out over the next few weeks, right are you?
Speaker 2: You're talking Benji or players players, but you're talking cry resume,
Speaker 2: like in terms of Benji or in terms of Richardson.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this, And I've got attacked for
Speaker 2: saying this at the time that I stated at the
Speaker 2: time that apparently Alvin and Moses never said Benji was
Speaker 2: a ship coach. They said that he wouldn't develop under Benji.
Speaker 2: And I've got to tax him everyone by saying he's
Speaker 2: probably right, because you can only judge a coach off
Speaker 2: his record, and Benji's record is orseship, no record, right,
Speaker 2: I don't think Benji will even be there next year.
Speaker 2: If he is, he won't see after year and then
Speaker 2: and then and then once that happens, I'm going to
Speaker 2: go back to everyone and say, ye, fuck yourself, because
Speaker 2: I told you a year and a half, You've got
Speaker 2: to give you I'll stop. You got to you got
Speaker 2: to give you more time.
Speaker 4: Speaking of thinly veiled anger. The next game, Storm, how.
Speaker 2: Did they lose at home to the Seagulls, explained to
Speaker 2: me what happened?
Speaker 4: Nice work?
Speaker 2: I like, hey, did that?
Speaker 4: I get like I have to wait to watch the
Speaker 4: press conference with Bellamy because I want him to kind
Speaker 4: of blow up, but he never does. I think I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna I said to Maybe the other night, I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna watch Ricky Stewart's coming to the podcast. But
Speaker 4: he was flipping out to bellow me like it's almost
Speaker 4: as entertaining as watching the game.
Speaker 2: Have you heard the locker room?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you said to me. Was this one
Speaker 4: from me? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, from this weekend? It was real? No, I
Speaker 2: deserve it.
Speaker 4: I deserve it, but I will set Was it the
Speaker 4: second coach try? Oh beautiful straight over? That was I
Speaker 4: know they didn't win, but yeah, and you know what
Speaker 4: I said to make it at the end, how they're
Speaker 4: talking to the players and stuff, and I'm like, if
Speaker 4: my boss was Bellamy, I would not be out on
Speaker 4: the field smiling and laughing.
Speaker 7: I was.
Speaker 4: I was like, go into the shield.
Speaker 2: Now, that's that's what the game is missing more and more.
Speaker 2: But you watch that. Okay, yeah, but he's right, what
Speaker 2: are you waiting for?
Speaker 1: I who was Billy was right to you know what,
Speaker 1: they haven't been playing well or year, but they're playing
Speaker 1: well enough or they do enough because they've got so
Speaker 1: much start star power to to win games. Mainly came
Speaker 1: down there. He went down there with a plan. And
Speaker 1: for all the all the crap we hear about the Professor,
Speaker 1: the Professor can coach, no doubt in my mind, when
Speaker 1: he needs to translate when he gets his message across
Speaker 1: and the Professor is Sea Bolt, when Sua Bolt gets
Speaker 1: his message across and they understand it. And this was
Speaker 1: a very simple message, a very simple message they gave him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and these boys executed the plan perfectly. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that from fifteen minutes on, you man, it was going
Speaker 1: to win because they had him physically. They had him physically,
Speaker 1: and they had him mentally as well.
Speaker 4: So you watch all their tries, albeit three and ten
Speaker 4: minutes for all in the first half, like I wouldn't
Speaker 4: I feel like Melbourne really rested on their laurels, was
Speaker 4: just sat like just complacent, like you you were so
Speaker 4: right and that they're just doing enough.
Speaker 1: And it's just but what what actually happened in this
Speaker 1: game to the mainly forwards absolutely decimated their middles and
Speaker 1: and it's it's a it's a consistent thing when you
Speaker 1: want to get them.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows.
Speaker 1: So so what what Apendels get them all the time
Speaker 1: because they decimate their middles. Teams, the big teams get
Speaker 1: them because they just crash them. They're not built that way.
Speaker 1: They're built. Uh, we hold teams and we let the
Speaker 1: stars do the do our job. Well, they've got to
Speaker 1: do more because they're going to have to get in
Speaker 1: because they're going to be top four, right, So to
Speaker 1: get into a GF or into a pre limb, they're
Speaker 1: going to have to cycle and and their fours have
Speaker 1: to stand up.
Speaker 2: And they haven't done that yet.
Speaker 1: But I'll could tell you something after after what they're
Speaker 1: going through right this moment, they've they've probably seen they
Speaker 1: haven't touched the ball. They're probably seeing hills in front
Speaker 1: of them or they've seen his hills. They're running, they're
Speaker 1: running they're running. What Bellamy is going to do to
Speaker 1: them this week, you wouldn't do to your dog, okay,
Speaker 1: And they're going to change what's the best when they
Speaker 1: come out this week. They're going to be completely different
Speaker 1: team from now on, because what's the what's.
Speaker 4: Their run home? They've got Rooster's at home, US's home, Eels,
Speaker 4: Broncos in Melbourne, Panthers like they've got the easiest.
Speaker 1: Well, I think I honestly believe that they're going to
Speaker 1: be a changed team now. Bell had enough.
Speaker 2: If they're alive, it's time to get started until That's
Speaker 2: what I think now. And you know what, they needed
Speaker 2: this wake up call because maybe they thought that everything's
Speaker 2: going fine. M hmm. Maybe they thought everything's own fine
Speaker 2: and just you know.
Speaker 4: When I just saw them doing that dancing two weeks
Speaker 4: ago and Melmy's plowing up. Obviously they won't said five
Speaker 4: straight winds or six. It's just they're not taking it seriously.
Speaker 2: They weren't. The weren't, but they tell you what they
Speaker 2: are this week.
Speaker 1: Let me just before we go on, I just want
Speaker 1: to mention Tommy all of a sudden been supposedly one
Speaker 1: of the better fullbacks.
Speaker 2: He's supposedly one of the better centers in the comp
Speaker 2: he's good. I don't know if he's injured. I don't
Speaker 2: know magically what's happened. But he swings both sides for
Speaker 2: now right now.
Speaker 1: Who knows what happens next week because he could break
Speaker 1: his fibbler. Who knows what with Tommy, But at the
Speaker 1: moment he's playing old school. Swings both sides makes extra
Speaker 1: man really confuses the defenses because they're not used to
Speaker 1: seeing center aside and half five eight center center. They're
Speaker 1: not used to seeing no, so they've got to make decisions.
Speaker 1: So I'm loving Tommy and that's more. Not too much
Speaker 1: more we can say about that. Jacob Walks, walks in
Speaker 1: and Kicks were so happy Kicks over the water bottle
Speaker 1: what it did. But Ben Travoyevich is probably going to
Speaker 1: be better than all of them. I reckon he's been killing.
Speaker 4: So if you weren't Eagles player, would should be happy
Speaker 4: with the win based on what have And at the
Speaker 4: end with Brooks.
Speaker 2: What happened with Brooks, it was a penalty, okay, Harry
Speaker 2: gret by Law by law, I thought that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It is, it is, It's crazy it's ridiculous. It's the
Speaker 1: same thing but having an escort or it's the same
Speaker 1: thing about it.
Speaker 2: There's nothing in it exactly, but he touched.
Speaker 4: The leg, barely moved nick.
Speaker 2: He didn't even know no, no, no, he didn't even
Speaker 2: expect to get a pillow. There's nothing in it. But
Speaker 2: it shouldn't have been. It's like, well, I'll talk about
Speaker 2: it when we get there, but it's just some of
Speaker 2: these over officiating giving the spectacle. Agree me.
Speaker 4: Someone asked felling me well twice because I was like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, are going to ask him sin for that?
Speaker 4: He goes, I am, He's like, I've got an opinion,
Speaker 4: But I get fine like.
Speaker 2: That. Yeah, some of the crap was saying on the
Speaker 2: field this year. I agree, And he got sin for that.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 4: I also feel like it was a bit unfair that
Speaker 4: old mate elbow. The other one he went off for
Speaker 4: a HI and he got to stay the field.
Speaker 2: Should he should have got sim in for that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: He should absolutely clear as day.
Speaker 4: So how in one game, which obviously seen it a
Speaker 4: lot across a lot of games, but how in one
Speaker 4: game have we seen just the wild pendulum swing.
Speaker 2: That's we see it you're seeing week in week out,
Speaker 2: every game. It's it's ridiculous. In the next game, the
Speaker 2: Tigers hundredth game, like I had over is West Tigers.
Speaker 2: I did watch it. They beat the Titans twenty one
Speaker 2: points to twenty. The funny thing is they shouldn't have
Speaker 2: even equalized. You know how they equalized the drop Good
Speaker 2: old Taylor May stays on the ground, he's next killing
Speaker 2: him penalty. Oh, and that's how they got to try
Speaker 2: to equalize. Like you see it every week. You see
Speaker 2: it all the time, these players just lying down, laying down. No,
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate the reft in scene. Bunker
Speaker 2: looks at it. It has to come up with something.
Speaker 2: The Bunker, bloody Bunker had The Bunker.
Speaker 4: Field goal was pretty pretty exciting at the seventh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the games, we're excited, blaure of the game, bluddure
Speaker 2: of the game.
Speaker 4: No, we I think we all we all tipped up
Speaker 4: the Tigers. I think last week probably well.
Speaker 2: How could you're not the gold coaster sitting there? Last
Speaker 2: Oh not terrible coldcast was terrible. It's like a few
Speaker 2: weeks ago with paramounta when when at a car did
Speaker 2: did he or did he not step on the sideline.
Speaker 2: It's irrelevant. What a rule. The linesman puts his flag up,
Speaker 2: so we can't go to the bunk. We go to
Speaker 2: the bunker for everything, everything, but we can't go to
Speaker 2: the bunker because the linesman put his flag upstate is
Speaker 2: this game in? Look? I agree? I agree, crowd, great
Speaker 2: scene over Sunday afternoon. But I'm just saying, like every
Speaker 2: every game, like the Harry Green thing, I mean, that
Speaker 2: was you are singing in for that. I agree, But
Speaker 2: that's the law. Law says.
Speaker 1: You know that when the when the when the bunker
Speaker 1: reviews it, they say a touch, that's it. They cut
Speaker 1: their hands are time?
Speaker 2: Why can't they do Why can't they use comments? You
Speaker 2: know what, there's a touch there, but it didn't have
Speaker 2: any Get on with it. You're too logical, You're too logical.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine the audacity of an organization that makes
Speaker 4: very obvious because they used to cover it up and
Speaker 4: make a bit more slight, very obvious biased decisions like
Speaker 4: that's what it is again.
Speaker 2: The Heels camera game six nel restarts nine to two
Speaker 2: penalties Camera were perfect. I agree, even though they were
Speaker 2: losing a halftime in total control. We should start a
Speaker 2: showing next year that they just reviews every game and
Speaker 2: pulls out of the bullshit the NRL price to sweep
Speaker 2: under the carpet. That's what we should do. Send it
Speaker 2: the buzz rsfield. There's the other another problem now now now, George,
Speaker 2: Now I reviewed their game.
Speaker 4: No no, no, I also forgot to mention what we're
Speaker 4: talking about, the round the boys pulled together, and I
Speaker 4: want to mention it, so I probably won't. We might
Speaker 4: not mention it next week. But the boys were pulling
Speaker 4: together their cards for next birthday because obviously it's coming
Speaker 4: up this week, and kind of started it halfway and
Speaker 4: then obviously just got distracted with something else. And then
Speaker 4: when he came back, he forgot that he was writing
Speaker 4: it for your birthday. So it ended up like almost
Speaker 4: like a commiserations. I'm sorry. Then Eels lost, I'm sad
Speaker 4: was his birthday and he's like, oh, yeah, so that
Speaker 4: will give you a bit of a yeah I did. Yeah,
Speaker 4: sorry to move on, but man, I did not see
Speaker 4: this coming. With the next game, Nights Worries.
Speaker 2: At fifteen points the field goal, George, what happened?
Speaker 7: J what A?
Speaker 2: What A? What an interesting game? What a? That was
Speaker 2: the last gap, win the last gap. I didn't watch
Speaker 2: this game, okay, so because I went out for dinner.
Speaker 2: So did you watch it too? You watched it? Okay?
Speaker 1: So so the Knights, I think over the eighty minutes
Speaker 1: were the better team who was leading at half time?
Speaker 1: The Knights were leading at half time? Weren't they too?
Speaker 2: Yeah? They were?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was like yeah, it was like twelve.
Speaker 4: I can't remember, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were basically basically this whole game, you can
Speaker 2: scrape it and it's all about the last ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Last ten minutes kind of boyd missed how many how
Speaker 1: many how many job job field goals that he missed?
Speaker 1: He missed two field goals and two kicks to win
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: And then the last field goal, Nicola, he went to
Speaker 1: kick it, it got block, got ricocheted and.
Speaker 2: What's his name? What's what's the youngster's name? To?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 2: Scored that try?
Speaker 4: Pumpy?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: Hello?
Speaker 4: What's happening in halloemia? Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 4: It was like, I know what. While she's thinking it
Speaker 4: was kind of like the Melbourne Storm game, Warriors should
Speaker 4: have absolutely smashed them, I'm like, what were you guys
Speaker 4: doing there? Was I missed it. The boys have yelled
Speaker 4: out to me Rick James how to try it, but
Speaker 4: it was disallowed.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, yes, what's happening in new We spoke
Speaker 2: about this last week but obviously I didn't get uploaded.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't Jason Rale sat Till and
Speaker 2: Brown down and said you can go now, yeah, and
Speaker 2: he goes, I'm going to. I'm going to. He said no,
Speaker 2: stay and he's not being picked in the in the
Speaker 2: in the eighteen but I'm going to. I'm going to.
Speaker 2: But it's still rather stay. I'm going to defend Brown
Speaker 2: because you've done a whole preseason with with your mates.
Speaker 2: It's only how many players have changed clubs. I hear
Speaker 2: what you're saying. Newcastle can still make the ap mathematically,
Speaker 2: but I mean when you want to go there and
Speaker 2: get comfortable with the joint before you start your thirteen
Speaker 2: years what was a ten year contract. I've also been
Speaker 2: there for six seven years, right, thirteen million dollars and
Speaker 2: he's not prepared to go three months early. I do
Speaker 2: know what you mean, but I'm looking at me. I
Speaker 2: would want to live. That's you know.
Speaker 4: We're shocked that he's just wanting to do the right thing.
Speaker 2: But he's but he's not getting picked in the squad.
Speaker 2: That's cool. And Jason Ross said he's not going to
Speaker 2: play cup. I'm not going to insult him. So he's
Speaker 2: just not playing like when you're kicking he's not playing again,
Speaker 2: but he's not kicking Stade. But when you're arare to go,
Speaker 2: you're going to spend the next decade there. But would
Speaker 2: you but what do you want to be? Well, that's
Speaker 2: exactly what would you want to spend the next six
Speaker 2: weeks with your mates playing for six years playing not playing?
Speaker 2: I don't know, not playing it. If I'm in New
Speaker 2: US a fan, I'm going this is a big, huge,
Speaker 2: remember Jurassic Park, Jeff Goblin, there's one big pile of ship,
Speaker 2: big first one. This is this is just bad. It's bad, bad,
Speaker 2: it's bad.
Speaker 4: I think the Nights are in the most trouble, Like
Speaker 4: when your fans are you regularly yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just they deserve they deserve to cheat
Speaker 2: or boo those those supporters. But in terms of the
Speaker 2: in terms of sorry props to the Warriors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, they didn't play well and they
Speaker 1: still want and that that taught us they're a good
Speaker 1: they're a good team.
Speaker 2: Kind a boy.
Speaker 1: The last fifteen minutes, the last ten minutes was diabolical,
Speaker 1: but in general, yeah they probably well, HA had a
Speaker 1: better team on the night. I think I thought Newcastle
Speaker 1: was Yeah.
Speaker 4: I agree, I thought the Newcastle I thought nights were. Again,
Speaker 4: it's like a strong game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a close game?
Speaker 1: Can I can I just can I just say that
Speaker 1: Jackson Hasting is an actually good Bloody player. I know
Speaker 1: the issues he has behind closed doors, but gee, is
Speaker 1: a good player. He's had those troubles at every close
Speaker 1: He's a good player. I've heard whispers what the issue is,
Speaker 1: yeah here, but I mean, what do you believe? But
Speaker 1: regardless of that, it's every club he's gone to, every club,
Speaker 1: not one. It's not one that he hasn't gone to.
Speaker 1: So when you see him play for extended time and
Speaker 1: he gets comfortable, Gee, he's changed the fortunes of this
Speaker 1: team since he came in. I don't know everything's changed.
Speaker 1: Bradman Best got pretty badly stripped a few times, but
Speaker 1: that last plasma run he just absolutely ripped him, ripped
Speaker 1: him apart. They're indeed poopoo Newcastle. I don't think Adam
Speaker 1: will be there next year, O'Brien. I think should be,
Speaker 1: But I don't think Adam will be there next year.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the tip. His assistant coach, I know,
Speaker 1: won't be there next year because he's going to go
Speaker 1: to Super League.
Speaker 2: He was one of the one tip to be fav
Speaker 2: for the job. Yeah, he's signed for Super League team
Speaker 2: to coach. Yeah. So so I don't know. Maybe you
Speaker 2: could do something.
Speaker 4: I quite like from the nights.
Speaker 2: I like maj great Player's great.
Speaker 4: Take him. He's so wonderful. He's just a good, decent player.
Speaker 4: It's like him.
Speaker 2: T t They've got, They've got a lot of good players.
Speaker 2: This is what's more.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's a cowboys sort of thing
Speaker 1: for me. Fletcher Hunt great player, best, great player, marj
Speaker 1: You great player, Hastings great player, Cogger, Okay, he's okay,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Sophie, great player, Bailey, good player,
Speaker 1: Lea Thompson great player. I don't get it. I don't
Speaker 1: understand Paul great player. I don't get it. I don't
Speaker 1: understand the Tigers. He's going to Tigers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what it is.
Speaker 4: It's just a culture thing, right, I think. And the
Speaker 4: Jackson Hastings thing. I was looking back it was around
Speaker 4: eight or nine. It's just his missus said something to
Speaker 4: a more senior player's wife or whatever like. It's just
Speaker 4: you know, and obviously there's other backstuff, but he was
Speaker 4: stepped down or put down agreed after that happened.
Speaker 2: I think it was, you know what, I'll tell you
Speaker 2: something about nice. They need a strong coach because Adam's
Speaker 2: going to lose his job. El Wayne Bennett failed there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's something I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's something decided on that we were talking about last week.
Speaker 2: This goes.
Speaker 10: I hope he doesn't. Yeah, I happy doesn't lose job.
Speaker 10: I don't think I have the answer the next season.
Speaker 10: It's clear as day and I think and I think
Speaker 10: we have a precedent now. Ma Moning is going to
Speaker 10: coach the new Birth team. It'll be his first NL
Speaker 10: club coaching role in twenty seven years. So Warren Ryan
Speaker 10: should go to Newcastle job. I should get the walkout
Speaker 10: of the time a good job.
Speaker 4: Didn't you guys say they were looking at Hannah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hannah definitely wants a geek.
Speaker 1: But if you give me all these teams which are
Speaker 1: which are available, I'm going to North Queensland that list.
Speaker 1: I'm going the Cowboys with that list. And he played
Speaker 1: there and he played there. But when I look at
Speaker 1: all the lists, give me, give me Cowboys.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys are also looking for a CEO because I
Speaker 4: put it on LinkedIn, I'm connected with the CEO and
Speaker 4: it's for next year. It was it was advertised like
Speaker 4: a few months ago. The amount of people that text
Speaker 4: me and they were like, I'm fine towns Will is
Speaker 4: way too. But yeah, I agree, like especially being Josh Hannah, who.
Speaker 2: Is like if I was in gon can I get
Speaker 2: in trouble for saying this? I was in Townsville last
Speaker 2: year the first time, I'm serious, and I went to
Speaker 2: Cole's or wool Words. I went to Woolworths.
Speaker 4: Why were you in town?
Speaker 2: Good question? Anyway, I went to woolwors and in the
Speaker 2: city center. You've been there, right? Have you been there? Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right? So I went to Woodies and all the
Speaker 2: aerosol cans are locked up in cupboards. You can't pick
Speaker 2: them off the shelf. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But in like Cooley, like call and Gatta. Everyone in
Speaker 4: Sydney Melbourne. They're like, let's go to cool and Gatta
Speaker 4: like call and get as one of the roughest places
Speaker 4: you don't want to go to on the coast. Same thing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's pretty out.
Speaker 2: I thought that was funny anyway.
Speaker 4: Pretty well and worst the places in Brisbane.
Speaker 2: Back my life as an eel. But the Broncos had
Speaker 2: to buy so they'll be well arrested for this week.
Speaker 4: I think they went somewhere. I went to Camma or something.
Speaker 2: That's good news for fans. Let's move into crystal Wall.
Speaker 2: The round that's coming up kicks off on Thursday night
Speaker 2: with the Roosters hosting in Melbourne. Storm here you guys
Speaker 2: sipping for that one. It's Teddy. I think Melbourne. I
Speaker 2: think Melbourne, Oh.
Speaker 4: Melbourne won't be seeing twenty twenty six if they didn't
Speaker 4: win every single game.
Speaker 2: It could be. I think it'll be closer than we think.
Speaker 2: But again, what happened to Melbourne Storm and what's happening
Speaker 2: to him this week? Melbourne will win, even if it's
Speaker 2: it's in Sydney. Is in Sydney, Melbourne will win. It's
Speaker 2: it's good. It's a short turned round. So they can
Speaker 2: get get get it out of the system. But I
Speaker 2: think I think luss Is know exactly what's going to
Speaker 2: happen and what's coming. So it might be it might
Speaker 2: be closer than we think to you, But I don't
Speaker 2: think that Melbourne will. I don't think Melbourne will lose
Speaker 2: this one. Over there, over there their body. I love
Speaker 2: this time of Melbourne.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gets really really like. The last week is
Speaker 4: the start of these really wild games. It's so good.
Speaker 2: Kicking off Friday night up in Townsville, the Cowboys are
Speaker 2: hosting the Dragons. This is a tough one. They picked,
Speaker 2: you know what, only with the Dragons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, My on the issue is the heat up
Speaker 1: there and then the Cowboys do play better in their environment.
Speaker 1: But surely surely and Georgia and Georgia being playing half
Speaker 1: decent rugby league and Cowboys couldn't catch a cold.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I'm going to go. I'm going
Speaker 4: to go Cowboys watching homes play. I think they've played.
Speaker 2: Their homes recer soraid they still they still put Brandon
Speaker 2: Burns in the team. The guy's a turnstile, but he's
Speaker 2: on the wing. Who's Thomas Duff remember that French showing
Speaker 2: used to climb the revolving door. Look, good ball in hand.
Speaker 2: But the defense in soccer we call those players which
Speaker 2: is hat's batter because the ball bounces off of which
Speaker 2: is hat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Bryden unfortunately, he's a good ball hand, you
Speaker 1: know when he gets the ball in his hand.
Speaker 2: But so just to confid, you're going, who are you
Speaker 2: tipping Saint George? But to who's Thomas Duffy? I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of him. He's another youngster.
Speaker 11: Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was looking at him.
Speaker 1: So play last So they took per Dume and put
Speaker 1: him back in the centers. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: I've seen him play. Did I see him play for
Speaker 4: the under nineteens origin? No, he wouldn't have been.
Speaker 2: He's older, he's a local product. Yeah, I over looked
Speaker 2: at him. Over look at him. Okay, I over looked
Speaker 2: at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and George will win and probably by the
Speaker 1: end when when we'll sorry in Nicolna, I've never seen
Speaker 1: I've never seen his name, Thomas Thomas Duffy. He didn't
Speaker 1: play on the Nine Names because I watched that game
Speaker 1: twenty two. Yeah, okay, so's he's is a man. So okay,
Speaker 1: now what's the next game? The Broncos are hosting the Eels.
Speaker 1: What's so special about this game?
Speaker 2: The Tenure and nicol are going to be in the
Speaker 2: stands at one of the best grounds in the world.
Speaker 2: And my first game at Lane Park. I know I'll
Speaker 2: be there with you. We'll be there together, the first
Speaker 2: game at Lane Park. I can't wait because just the
Speaker 2: other night I started watching on YouTube the game from
Speaker 2: eighty eight or eighty nine, and I was throwing the
Speaker 2: b cans on the field when while Lewis got five
Speaker 2: minutes in there, yeah, and Ben your Las picked up
Speaker 2: one of the cans and started drinking from it. Love it.
Speaker 4: It's pretty. It's not don't get it's not like.
Speaker 2: I know, it's not Lane Park.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's not like because we went to combat. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's very nicely like it's very nice. You know, like
Speaker 4: some court, you know, they spend a lot of money
Speaker 4: on the grounds, but like the from when Georgia went
Speaker 4: wherever you went, it has a really changed it for
Speaker 4: the first time I went there in terms of get
Speaker 4: booths and stuff.
Speaker 2: Lots of stairs too, ye remember that, lots of yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Broncos as as perlisted, So everyone's in and gee they're
Speaker 2: looking scary with Paramatta.
Speaker 1: We got Baba Liki at full back Nicola so obviously
Speaker 1: we know that the normal fullback the Greek.
Speaker 2: And Mortal is future Mortal is injured.
Speaker 1: But the big inn is of course Mitchell Moses in
Speaker 1: doing Hawkins at six, which is going to be very interesting.
Speaker 2: Which I think that's the way he's going to go.
Speaker 2: He's been so good, has he really has?
Speaker 1: I believe that's the way that they look. The back
Speaker 1: line solid, you can't complain short, Yeah they have, but
Speaker 1: this youngster.
Speaker 2: Is good playing first game and in the middles. Do
Speaker 2: you like do you like the forwards Nicola halfgood Smith Polo?
Speaker 2: I think? I mean, I think paying uses back.
Speaker 4: Yeah he is, Yeah, that would be a nice matchup.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 12: I think I don't think we can match him in
Speaker 12: before okay, and and and of of course the silver
Speaker 12: ready and and uh off the off the bench do
Speaker 12: you have at least they have player who are unavailable.
Speaker 2: Could be four pages. Look, I'm going the Broncos but
Speaker 2: as well, but I don't think it'll be well arrested
Speaker 2: to him too. Had to buy yeah, I don't think
Speaker 2: the school will be as wide as Nichols thinking. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, I don't know. I know the
Speaker 2: Broncos will win. I don't know Mitch will keep it nice.
Speaker 2: I'll probably blow it out in the last twenty minutes
Speaker 2: or whatever. But I don't know, maybe not even because
Speaker 2: Mitch my keep things a little bit more controlled.
Speaker 4: I wonder if, I wonder if the luck will be
Speaker 4: there though, because the last time, obviously.
Speaker 2: The game we went to, we had lost, people had
Speaker 2: lost every game, and tenure seeing next to me in
Speaker 2: the stands and she telling me to be more positive,
Speaker 2: and I said, fuck ship, we're going to lose. Is
Speaker 2: a positive human, she really is, and she's telling me
Speaker 2: to shut up and be positive. And sure enough, Golden
Speaker 2: Point Max feel a great game.
Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't know if we can sit
Speaker 4: next to each other on Friday now.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm sob meitting, so don't worry. Yeah, you can
Speaker 2: just pour a drink out of my head, do whatever
Speaker 2: you want. If you will. Tickets your tea, Yeah, make
Speaker 2: up them.
Speaker 4: As a birthday present to Nick. And she's if she's
Speaker 4: got the ones. I think that the best spot, like
Speaker 4: best so.
Speaker 2: Good, just underlie the corporates.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's kind of like on this
Speaker 4: sweet corner that you don't get too much thorough fan
Speaker 4: and it.
Speaker 2: Is going to be there. I hate I hate Buck
Speaker 2: back the whole. I hate Buck. Bring you know what
Speaker 2: we need to do?
Speaker 4: Actually send you guys something, actually might do it. Next week.
Speaker 4: We were sitting around because Meg was trying to figure
Speaker 4: out what the sounds were for each team to try,
Speaker 4: and I know them obviously, so I played this YouTube
Speaker 4: thing that plays every single sound. Do you guys know
Speaker 4: every sound?
Speaker 2: No, I don't even know what my.
Speaker 4: Wait, don't listen to it. I'm going to play it
Speaker 4: next week.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't even know we have one. It irritates
Speaker 2: me every time the Roosters score and I hear that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: teach me.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Anyway, Buck number ten will be there. That looks
Speaker 4: slightly different every.
Speaker 2: Year, but yes, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely looking forward to it and I'll see you
Speaker 2: in a two days time. I'm going to be jealous
Speaker 2: to be cool cool the way too. So kicking off Saturday,
Speaker 2: the Warriors are hosting the Gold Coast Titans Warriors at
Speaker 2: home in New Zealand. No brainer, no brainer.
Speaker 4: We said it's about Warriors nights though, no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they want it, they wanted we're talking about.
Speaker 2: It's going to be painful for Dsy, very painful. I
Speaker 2: think Warrows will win and win will Panthers at home,
Speaker 2: which is at com Bank against the Tigers, which is
Speaker 2: one of their fourteen home grounds as well. Yeah, apparently,
Speaker 2: I think I think tighter than a game. This game
Speaker 2: will be tighter than we think. The penwiff contingent. Contingents
Speaker 2: in this West team will make sure of that. I
Speaker 2: think I expect we're penriff to win, but going to
Speaker 2: it's going to be a dog fight. Rumors going around
Speaker 2: this week that Adam do you will be joining Penrith
Speaker 2: next season? Oh really yeah, on the mark, I didn't
Speaker 2: know that he's going to I thought it was coming
Speaker 2: to Paris. Actually no, no, I heard. Okay, I don't
Speaker 2: know what they'll do with it, but the last.
Speaker 4: Time they played at Combank around fourteen fourteen eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it t yeah, so I don't think I think
Speaker 2: it'll be a dog There's four or five x pan
Speaker 2: as in the Tigers team, so they'll stand up for
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just ili like a good game, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean?
Speaker 2: This will be a good game. Y, It's be a
Speaker 2: good game. And then finishing off Saturday, the rabbit As
Speaker 2: are hosting the Sharks. Unfortunately. I think that's they're at
Speaker 2: four dollars twenty. I think it's a Shark win, is it?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a Sharks win.
Speaker 1: The Sharks have hit some reform. I'd like to see
Speaker 1: them continuing and keep on building for the semi final series.
Speaker 1: I think selves Joe Gray's back in, but Joe Gray's
Speaker 1: Joe Gray's fullback, and and Alex Johnson on the wing
Speaker 1: so that he might score another trial trial too. They
Speaker 1: don't look that bad on paper, but I think they've
Speaker 1: they've lost confidence and the Carnal will win.
Speaker 4: I don't know what Bennett's saying. Hey, do you remember
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year, the guy's talking about
Speaker 4: it the other day, how we were talking on the
Speaker 4: potty and Jai Gray daily m runner up blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: And then obviously he's broken his thumb or whatever.
Speaker 13: But prior to that he was Mitchell came back, I know,
Speaker 13: a bit like that changed everything. He was on fire
Speaker 13: until that happened, So Ben that has his favorites.
Speaker 4: It's you know, to what detriment right like its obviously
Speaker 4: there's but anyway, I just I find that disappointing and back,
Speaker 4: you know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know Joy's contract, but if he's if he's
Speaker 1: coming off and there's someone who needs someone like that,
Speaker 1: he will get picked up because he's a he's an
Speaker 1: excellent player.
Speaker 2: He's a first grader. He goes back to the regis
Speaker 2: and calves up.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know, even I was looking at the
Speaker 4: teamless for Broncos, I'm like, fire out, we can't fit anyone.
Speaker 2: No, no, well your selary cap stretched apparently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, I think we might be over.
Speaker 2: Eric and paint Ass will become the highest paid player
Speaker 2: in the game with the birth team of the wife
Speaker 2: twenty six million dollar deal three years. That's just rumorous.
Speaker 2: Kicking off Sunday afternoon is a real tough one. Camber
Speaker 2: ran home to Newcastle.
Speaker 1: Look in terms of confidence here, yeah, in terms of confidence,
Speaker 1: I think the Knights confidence is shot. I think raiders
Speaker 1: are flying, raiders flying. It's just it's just about getting
Speaker 1: an eight minute performance out of him. But something like
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Maybe twenty minutes of Canbra Canberra football is
Speaker 1: enough to normally win a game, maybe win a camp.
Speaker 2: So I think they'll do just enough to win. I
Speaker 2: think they'll be like in second year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty yeah, that's what I mean. Maybe twenty minutes
Speaker 1: of Canberra football is enough. That's what they That's how
Speaker 1: much they played.
Speaker 4: Again, why is Sebastian Chris out Sebastian Chris is out
Speaker 4: spend and Chevy Stewart. I wonder if.
Speaker 2: Probably is. But I'll tell you what. Looking at the
Speaker 2: cambercteen pretty, I'll tell you what. The last game of
Speaker 2: the round has just become a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: more interesting considering mainly beat Melbourne Bulldogs at home to
Speaker 2: the Seagulls. George, this is the game I find Bulldogs
Speaker 2: didn't have a great game, Seaguals did have a great win.
Speaker 2: It's a tough one to tip only on the Dogs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, game of the round this one, Nicola. I noticed
Speaker 1: carraz and Bronston Cherry back into the team. Hopefully Galvin
Speaker 1: can build on on last week and the fourth pack
Speaker 1: where the most important part is King Marnie Hughes kick
Speaker 1: out Preston and salmon and of course Harry Hayes and
Speaker 1: man off the bench and current he's got We've got
Speaker 1: all fours on the bench.
Speaker 2: That that that that says.
Speaker 1: And then in the case that last time we played
Speaker 1: them and last year in the semi final they got
Speaker 1: us through the middle. And I'm not sure how smart,
Speaker 1: how good And I'll tell you next week. The professor
Speaker 1: is because he knows how to beat Canterbury. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best technicians.
Speaker 2: And guess what.
Speaker 1: Serrouto has responded with a bench of all forwards. This
Speaker 1: will be a hum dinger. I'm going to pick a
Speaker 1: good game. I'm going to pick around.
Speaker 2: It is the game of the round. I'm going to
Speaker 2: pick Canterbury for sentimental values. But this this this mainly
Speaker 2: team has got Canabi's cryptonite. I mean, outside of this one,
Speaker 2: I think I think the Broncos and the Eels will
Speaker 2: be really close. It will be the first seven or
Speaker 2: eight minutes. But this one here, I think this is
Speaker 2: going to be a really good game around. I really
Speaker 2: believe that's the game around. Ye I'll go the Dogs
Speaker 2: and the Finns have the buy that's goods And then
Speaker 2: ended a week off so Georgie, what are you go
Speaker 2: for us?
Speaker 1: I've got a few things Nicola I want to talk about,
Speaker 1: and team mentioned it or suggested through the Rugby three sixty.
Speaker 1: Now why I bring it up. I think he might
Speaker 1: It might affect rugby league, and I think he might
Speaker 1: affect rugby league all around the world and definitely the NRL.
Speaker 1: So this concept as we don't know rugby around the world. Besides,
Speaker 1: France is in trouble in terms of in terms of viewership,
Speaker 1: in terms of plague because the Union refuses to make
Speaker 1: the game a little bit modern. Again, beside France, the
Speaker 1: whole world is crumbling. So a bunch of Saudi trillionaires
Speaker 1: have got together and they did it with golf, they
Speaker 1: did it with Formula one. And what they're gonna do
Speaker 1: is a rebel league, something like Super League Nicola. And
Speaker 1: their aim is to go and find the best rugby
Speaker 1: and rugby league players, put them in a twelve team competition,
Speaker 1: have a three month have a three month competition. And
Speaker 1: what we do is you don't have like the teams
Speaker 1: are countries. So it's to Yo, it's Toyo and and Toyota,
Speaker 1: uh Japan, Toyota. You know, Panasonic France. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean that starting, George, It's it's it's in the infancy,
Speaker 1: but it will start because they're signing players, signing players already.
Speaker 1: So entry, yeah, entry for this is two million, So
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you two million for three months work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then and the good players getting excess in excess
Speaker 1: of that. So my question to you guys is will
Speaker 1: they come in and rip some of their good players,
Speaker 1: because go yes, unfortunately, and it just meant at this point,
Speaker 1: man's just at this point. Yeah, probably yeah, men's at
Speaker 1: this point. And look, you know what, what's scary places?
Speaker 1: They say it's a lot of chatter, But what I
Speaker 1: mean they did it at gold Live Golf in the
Speaker 1: Formula one, So it's something that they've done before. This
Speaker 1: this this group, and they've got they've got the companies
Speaker 1: like Toyota, like Honda, all the biggest companies in each
Speaker 1: part of the world, even South Summer, South African, humongous country.
Speaker 1: They've got them all on board. So this will happen.
Speaker 1: The issue is that how much are they going to
Speaker 1: desecrate the rugby league. I don't care about rugby. They
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want to rugby, but how much
Speaker 1: how many players are gonna they're going to take from
Speaker 1: from us? That was the chatter of Ponga. Now Ponger
Speaker 1: says he's going to stay and see out his contract
Speaker 1: and it probably isn't, Probably isn't or isn't, but no
Speaker 1: one will will begrudging if he went for three months
Speaker 1: work for two million dollars.
Speaker 2: He signed. He signed. Yeah, he's already signed.
Speaker 4: And it's funny, right because we were talking about, you know,
Speaker 4: not longer go the land. He's wanting to buy into
Speaker 4: Super League and stuff, and then the Saudi Arabians like, yeah,
Speaker 4: what will actually buy in and do something and pay them? Well,
Speaker 4: when't you go like they could take Shibasaki, Jai Gray, Jermainisaka.
Speaker 4: All these people will not. I don't think the first
Speaker 4: two have kids, but all of them as if you're
Speaker 4: not going to set your family out, go for a year, plague,
Speaker 4: come back play again. But you're so much better set
Speaker 4: up because we know and they know that they're breaking
Speaker 4: their bodies for our entertainment. Might as well be a
Speaker 4: bit richer for it.
Speaker 1: Right, Remember to live over there, it's only three months,
Speaker 1: so you're going to extend your shelf life as well.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. It's interesting to see what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I fear them because it's not if when it's
Speaker 1: when it's going to happen.
Speaker 4: It will where are the games going to be played?
Speaker 1: All around the wolf, So it will be a team
Speaker 1: in Japan fragment's sake, a team in America, will be a.
Speaker 2: Him in Europe or you know what, when it happens,
Speaker 2: he won't be a shambozo. I don't know. Just yeah,
Speaker 2: I just missed rugby league. Oh it's not going to
Speaker 2: touch us. It's rugby unless they take our players. And
Speaker 2: that's when we were watching them about it. Because going
Speaker 2: to take you're going to take a place.
Speaker 1: So so that that look you know what if like
Speaker 1: if a manager comes up to you and say, pretty
Speaker 1: much work two million dollars, Oh you're good, like you're
Speaker 1: going to have two point eight?
Speaker 2: No, yeah, it's so all over again. Yeah yeah no yet.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll watch it. Well, we'll wait and see. We'll
Speaker 1: wait and see on that. But I hope Landis is
Speaker 1: putting his head together with his other CEO so they can.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they're they're hoping to tea the
Speaker 1: next television deal. And this is everything they're doing about
Speaker 1: head Knocks and everything that we talk about is all
Speaker 1: geared for one humongous deal. Like I said last week,
Speaker 1: he was over a meeting with Amazon, he was over
Speaker 1: meeting with Netflix. He's going to sell this for a record.
Speaker 1: Now he wants more than the record, so he wants
Speaker 1: to throw it back into the He wants to trail
Speaker 1: back into the.
Speaker 2: L So the idea is that the.
Speaker 1: Top player he is one point five, Well that one
Speaker 1: point one goes to two point two. That's what he
Speaker 1: wants to do. Then the girls, he wants to make
Speaker 1: them fully professional.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the problem is they've spent the best part
Speaker 4: of eighteen months just pissing off the fans. And like
Speaker 4: obviously when they're not going to we're not the ones
Speaker 4: they're going to fund the whole viewing experience and pay
Speaker 4: for that. Like they they have. Valandi's schemed to ahead
Speaker 4: of things. And while he is deciding and having all
Speaker 4: these meetings, you have Saudi Arabians.
Speaker 2: Yes, he doesn't care about the game, He just cares
Speaker 2: about commercial growth. Well, he needs to do that's his job.
Speaker 2: The other guy. The other guys is about the game,
Speaker 2: and he's about the growth is better as useful as
Speaker 2: I agree with that, seriously agree he isn't better as
Speaker 2: useful as an astronium of matter, but I agree with
Speaker 2: I agree with that as well. But that's the that's
Speaker 2: the that's their jobs.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so at the end of the day, so
Speaker 1: we know in a year and a half or two years,
Speaker 1: the game will be will be behind a payball, no doubt,
Speaker 1: more so than it is now because he's still it's
Speaker 1: still behind a payaball.
Speaker 2: We have to get Fox to watch it, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think yeah that like, yeah, we paid double,
Speaker 4: don't tell care.
Speaker 1: My fear is what he wants to do is split
Speaker 1: the whole game up. So someone else is going to
Speaker 1: have the Grand Final, someone else is going to have
Speaker 1: the Origin Series, someone else is going to have the
Speaker 1: that's if that happens, that's going to it's going to
Speaker 1: cost us.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: Not to stop players that were considering burly sorry Perth Bears,
Speaker 4: and you know you've got P and G team to
Speaker 4: being like, you know what, take that four hundred grand
Speaker 4: and jam I'm going to spend my first year doing
Speaker 4: three sixty.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you know what you were joking last week
Speaker 2: when you went joking you were talking about the Queensland
Speaker 2: little brother thing whatever. Right, it was a Sydney comp
Speaker 2: it was. It was, it was the ns W whatever,
Speaker 2: it was, Rugby league, it was, it was. It was
Speaker 2: a Sydney camp. Queens ain't had their own comp. You know,
Speaker 2: Brisbane's house all of those origin players before Brisbane Broncos
Speaker 2: joined the camp. When Brisbane joined the camp, it was awesome.
Speaker 2: Newcastle joined the camp in the same year, Gold Coast
Speaker 2: joined around the same time, a little bit later later
Speaker 2: and that was wonderful right for me. It became a
Speaker 2: fast five years later when the Warriors New Zealand team
Speaker 2: joined the camp. Hasn't that been a good thing?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, because it's not a national
Speaker 2: rugby league when you've got another country in it, is
Speaker 2: it we should call the i r L? What should
Speaker 2: call it the International Rugby League? Well they don't, they
Speaker 2: don't have enough place to form a team. But seriously,
Speaker 2: it's not a national rugby league. When there's another country,
Speaker 2: you might as well have Italy in it. It's not
Speaker 2: a national rugby league. When you have an international country
Speaker 2: participating in it.
Speaker 4: It feels like Italy, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It grew too and now it's becoming ridiculous. Papua New Guinea,
Speaker 2: even Perth, we've been there, done that. It flopped, it failed.
Speaker 2: Watch it flop again. Actually, Perth might be a good thing.
Speaker 2: I hope watch it flop again. They haven't even in
Speaker 2: what universe does there's the governing body decide the coach
Speaker 2: of a club, appoint the coach of a club. It's
Speaker 2: not even they're puppeteering the whole franchise. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean though, because they sort of
Speaker 2: invitally they're forcing it on the club, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Well that's that's that's a that's a conflict right there.
Speaker 2: Well then then the governing body owns one, it's not
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast government. Then the government takes I've said
Speaker 2: the government doesn't even want any part of it. I
Speaker 2: said this years ago, back in twenty fifteen. I think
Speaker 2: it was telling you know better than me when Gold
Speaker 2: Coast went broke and NRL took over. Right, And I've
Speaker 2: always used the West Tigers as an example, right West Tigers.
Speaker 2: Even though there are two clubs who emerged and were
Speaker 2: financially rewarded for it, they still found themselves with no money.
Speaker 2: But they fought tooth and now did everything right, signed
Speaker 2: whoever they could afford and did their best to and
Speaker 2: they're still doing that. Right. Gold Coasts were bankrupt and
Speaker 2: roll took over all of a sudden, they had the
Speaker 2: full cap at their disposal and they did a deal
Speaker 2: with DCE which he backflipped on anyway, so the governing
Speaker 2: body steps in. So so you know what if you're
Speaker 2: running a club in your bankrupt and then you have
Speaker 2: your full full compliment back to be able to spend ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Well that was that was the whole point.
Speaker 2: It's the most corrupt run competition on the planet.
Speaker 4: But around around the commentary that George and I were
Speaker 4: saying people going to Perth Bears or p ANDNG they
Speaker 4: might just go do three sixty instead, Like, yes, it's
Speaker 4: only three months, but it's two million dollars. That's a
Speaker 4: nice three months.
Speaker 2: You know, we've had a twenty team camp and it flopped,
Speaker 2: and it's going to happen again. You watch, it's going
Speaker 2: to happen again. Yeah, these are they're making bitter plans
Speaker 2: this time.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to
Speaker 1: make it clear that I understand what you're saying, and
Speaker 1: it'll be nice. Well, bimin to play norths and all
Speaker 1: the rest like back in the day.
Speaker 2: That's what we grow. I'm not even saying that. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying keep it like, keep it down to fourteen teams.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, that's it wants to be. But
Speaker 2: if you're not growing and well for one hundred years,
Speaker 2: George and it grew fine without adding in all these
Speaker 2: other countries and say it.
Speaker 5: Was some pretty hard. We went through some pretty hard
Speaker 5: when when what the seventies, eighties, nineties went.
Speaker 2: Literally bankrupt, it wasn't between a turno that they were
Speaker 2: nearly on there. They can I have fucking Michael Jackson
Speaker 2: or someone for next year. We can't do Mickey Jackson.
Speaker 2: So I just get pissed off because it's for me,
Speaker 2: it's just all bullshit, like it's none of this has
Speaker 2: anything to do with better in the game. It's all
Speaker 2: commercial financial and it's killing the game. The game is
Speaker 2: you know, I like watching the old game. Sometimes they're
Speaker 2: a lot of them on YouTube. You forget how much
Speaker 2: fun it was to watch the game. Now it's ridic
Speaker 2: You can't even celebrate a try anymore. You've got to
Speaker 2: wait for two minutes to see if it's confirmed or not.
Speaker 2: And then after jumping up and down, the ref goes
Speaker 2: like this, which we all know is not a review.
Speaker 2: It's a no try. And I've never seen a ref
Speaker 2: do this and see the try awarded. So why are
Speaker 2: we going through all this bullshit process? Pathetic? That Casey
Speaker 2: Badger on the on the sideline the other day, are
Speaker 2: you kidding me? Seriously, don't start me, because they're going
Speaker 2: to think that I'm sexist if I if I'm Casey
Speaker 2: or if I not what the other one there's two players.
Speaker 2: Defending player wraps his hands around the ball and it
Speaker 2: pops out. Casey Badger looks at the replane. She goes,
Speaker 2: he's made an attempt to secure the ball. It's part
Speaker 2: of the tackle. He's fucking raked it out.
Speaker 4: A great impersonation. You know what? Then, Nick, I think
Speaker 4: maybe what with this three sixty thing? It will put
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on the NRL to actually be better,
Speaker 4: so it will actually be I think a good thing.
Speaker 2: NRL. I'm telling you now, mark my words, right now, timestam.
Speaker 2: This it's going to out backwards ten years from now,
Speaker 2: will be the worst position we're in right now, you know.
Speaker 2: And this guy is going to cause so much damage.
Speaker 2: You know. When he came in, he saved the game,
Speaker 2: all right, and he and he led the way of
Speaker 2: he said that he laid out the blueprint for many
Speaker 2: other sports, right, but he started believing his own press
Speaker 2: and he should have stopped. He should have held it,
Speaker 2: he would have been What he's doing is ridiculous. And
Speaker 2: go back to the Jonathan Thurston what's his name, Spencer lennything.
Speaker 2: We're not going to get involved unless one of the
Speaker 2: clubs complain. But you get involved in it literally everything
Speaker 2: else that has nothing to do with you. But it's
Speaker 2: just so inconsistent from week to week to week to week.
Speaker 2: No one knows what to expect anymore. You go to
Speaker 2: a game, you're guaranteed that this weekend there's going to
Speaker 2: be some bullshit that we're talking about next week.
Speaker 9: You know it.
Speaker 2: You already know it, don't you. No, I'm talking about that.
Speaker 2: I'm talking I'm not gonna out here. I told you
Speaker 2: I'm giving in right, but I'm saying. What I'm saying is,
Speaker 2: you just know there's going to be contentious, ridiculous decisions
Speaker 2: that we're talking about next week, and we're not talking
Speaker 2: about the footage. It's like we're sitting here one night
Speaker 2: talking about Galvin and I think it might have been
Speaker 2: new Taan. You said State of Origins tomorrow night. We're
Speaker 2: not even talking about it because we keep talking about crap.
Speaker 2: That's also that's also a bit to do with the
Speaker 2: journeys as well. We see it with our own eyes.
Speaker 2: You see it, We see it with our own eyes.
Speaker 4: Did you watch Rooster's Broncos Women's are We don't talk
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 2: I actually actually actually didn't watch it, love or watching
Speaker 2: on a replay.

Speaker 1: to be going to Saint Helen's but there's some murmur

Speaker 1: feed a team for Cronella. Oh no, no, this is
Speaker 1: this is so well, Yeah for Coronella and Penrith coming fifth,
Speaker 1: now some fun.
Speaker 2: Then I rolled w you call. The Raiders scored twelve,
Speaker 2: but our girls they went down. They caught a bus,
Speaker 2: they went down to Cambu, but they scored forty six points.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, we're killing it. Abby Church and my
Speaker 2: favorite player absolutely rocking it. Last minute try for Saint
Speaker 2: Georgia and Nicolla sunk the Dogs, the Dogs fourteen iron
Speaker 2: when you look.
Speaker 9: At the men's last second, last minute try sunk the Dogs.
Speaker 9: The Dragons eighteen, the Dogs fourteen. They gotta the Sharks
Speaker 9: are fourteen. The cow Girls I shouldn't know. I heard
Speaker 9: that they don't like that, but the cow Girls sixteen.
Speaker 9: There at Townsville, Nicola, the Titans came down and played
Speaker 9: a game before the Tiger's there.
Speaker 1: The Tigers scored twenty four points. Unfortunately, so the Titans
Speaker 1: scored twenty four points. Unfortunately, the Tigers only scored twelve.
Speaker 1: The game after the Knights on the Warriors game and
Speaker 1: Nicola the Girls played. The Knights scored thirty six and
Speaker 1: the Warriors twenty and the feature game of the weekend,
Speaker 1: the one Tanua and.
Speaker 2: Me were watching, I called your tenure. How about that?
Speaker 1: The Broncos twenty six the Roosters thirty and well, what
Speaker 1: a game that was. I don't know if the best
Speaker 1: I don't know if the best team won on the
Speaker 1: on the night. You know what, I'd watch this game
Speaker 1: over and over. I watched them. I watched these two
Speaker 1: two teams play every week.
Speaker 2: That's how good it was. How good was it?
Speaker 4: Brilliant? Like I think I mentioned it last week on
Speaker 4: Ghost Putty. The Roosters Trasca, I think she did three
Speaker 4: or four the week before ton Tina and Naveti. She
Speaker 4: scored the second try for the Roosters. She is like
Speaker 4: an animal for Roosters. Obviously I'm looking at Broncos, but
Speaker 4: you know, Tamika up Dinner's always Kerrie Johnson was really
Speaker 4: good like she She's actually she's quite a good player.
Speaker 4: But I think It's funny though. I don't know if
Speaker 4: you guys know this, but when Broncos, you should come
Speaker 4: up when a game's on, When Bronco next year, when
Speaker 4: Broncos and Roosters play, noo, guys, it is like an
Speaker 4: origin game, Like there is deep hatred between those two
Speaker 4: teams when they play. And so it was interesting. And
Speaker 4: you know, the dur almost lined up quite nicely with
Speaker 4: the guys ones, like in terms of what teams played as.
Speaker 2: Well, but.
Speaker 4: Not dissimilar, right, like us have a thing. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I think probably maybe that's part of my internal, my
Speaker 4: subconscious bias too.
Speaker 2: But you don't have any bias at all. Tell me
Speaker 2: about Tell me about my favorite player, Chelsea Lennard lover. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she rights, She comes in and absolutely makes a difference,
Speaker 2: smashes everybody in front of her.
Speaker 4: I expected to score to be a bit higher. I
Speaker 4: don't know why.
Speaker 2: The good they're they're really good defensive units, they really are.
Speaker 2: How How good was Isabel Kelly and Jesse Surgiers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just likes another another Greek and model, the
Speaker 1: future Greek and model anyway, Now she's Greek.
Speaker 2: This one's Greek.
Speaker 1: Alie looked maybe not maybe a be the Biggie numbers
Speaker 1: but didn't show right she she controlled the team really
Speaker 1: well the Broncos. And you said about Tamika, If she's
Speaker 1: not the best player in the world, who is she?
Speaker 1: And you know what, I really loved Kiri Johnston on
Speaker 1: the wing. Yes, she's a little maniac and a little she.
Speaker 4: I think it was last week she scored a couple
Speaker 4: of tryes, So that's why I was because they both
Speaker 4: had quite Obviously they're a fairly evenly matched team, I think,
Speaker 4: but I think I saw more which I find this
Speaker 4: These two teams are the ones I'll probably watch the most.
Speaker 4: Obviously not like the Eels team too, but they're probably
Speaker 4: the ones I'm going to watch the most.
Speaker 2: Just a special mention to Julia Robertson. She's a maniac. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's a maniac, Absolutely maniac. That girl maniac and it's
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: It's rough watch it like I obviously be female. Get
Speaker 4: I'm just wincing when I watch the game like the girls, because.
Speaker 2: I just like.
Speaker 4: It's just that technic.
Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me your your thoughts on Olivia. I
Speaker 2: like her.
Speaker 1: She's a last year Delium winner and she just rocks.
Speaker 1: Did you like Jasmine Stranger in the background.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think, I think, because who's who's the
Speaker 4: top of my head, it got prints and coaches the girls.
Speaker 2: No, no, oh yeah, Scot Princes coaches coach your girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, he's got a he's got a really good
Speaker 4: like obviously, looking at both teams, but I'm always Broncos bias.
Speaker 4: I think whatever they've done in the Roosters, they've made
Speaker 4: a very good team. Obviously they won the premiership last
Speaker 4: year for the Broncos. Because the ladder is pretty this
Speaker 4: this will be.
Speaker 2: The great one. But sure the other teams are so
Speaker 2: far far away.
Speaker 4: M m yeah, no, it's it's good. But I just
Speaker 4: as winterlo rushed the boy love watching.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 4: It was really pretty.
Speaker 1: You know what, cast cast your eyes on the Paramatta
Speaker 1: team and uh my, my my favorite player, Abby Church.
Speaker 4: Have a look at her this week, Abby Church, I
Speaker 4: love in South Wales.
Speaker 1: Yeah she does, yeah yourself, she she rocks And uh
Speaker 1: like I said that went to camera and they and
Speaker 1: they put on forty six points and I actually think
Speaker 1: they might actually make the semifinals.
Speaker 2: Paramount.
Speaker 4: But that's what I was saying in terms of a lineup.
Speaker 4: Don't kill me Mick. But you know the girls, the
Speaker 4: Eels girls played Camera forty six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come on, they me, they're good. They're good girls,
Speaker 2: they're great.
Speaker 4: And Dragons beat Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, but you know what, the
Speaker 2: Dragons they're probably the third best team.
Speaker 4: Well they're on the Eels and then Cowboys Beach, so
Speaker 4: it's almost Titan's Big Tigers. It's a bit of a vessel.
Speaker 4: We need to have inter gender games.
Speaker 2: The St. Georgia got a girl called tagan Berry. She
Speaker 2: she's she's equivalent. If not, she's younger, but she will
Speaker 2: be like to make her up them one day.
Speaker 4: I think when I was I think is when I
Speaker 4: was watching The Queen the Women's State of Origin, Like
Speaker 4: I was watching all the players, and obviously I did
Speaker 4: my research into what teams are from obviously again following
Speaker 4: World Broncos. But there's some really decent players in the women's.
Speaker 2: Well they talk about growth, and the growth is in
Speaker 2: the women's game, not the men's game.
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed watching that. There was a smash up
Speaker 1: Dooby on on the on the Bulldogs Nicola. What I
Speaker 1: like about the Bulldogs They've got some x X Canoy
Speaker 1: players like DIMIs daughter like Millard Millard's Millard's daughter.
Speaker 2: And it's nice. It's nice when you say the daughters
Speaker 2: of the sons of the daughters of coming through.
Speaker 1: It's nice. It makes you makes you think how old
Speaker 1: you are. But I like throwing my eye and you
Speaker 1: know what they want something funny. They played that grind
Speaker 1: the physical style. It's like it's like the whole club
Speaker 1: plays the same way. It's interesting. But the next time
Speaker 1: Bronco girls play the Russ's game throw throw your eye
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: You might actually be entertained. You might actually be entertained.
Speaker 2: This fun stuff. Yeah, and that and Nicola, that's that's
Speaker 2: that's me for this week. That's me for this one. Well,
Speaker 2: I might as well take the what do you call it?
Speaker 2: The empty strike? Keep your eyes on all socials this weekend.
Speaker 2: There will be of tenure and myself and one of us,
Speaker 2: well actually probably both of us. We'll be wearing the
Speaker 2: Marones gear and right, you haven't you know, having a
Speaker 2: change of hard No, no, how did you think? So? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I found about because I usually buy a jersey every year,
Speaker 4: so I think I've got about twelve with my cupboard.
Speaker 2: Well, I won't fit into your journey.
Speaker 4: I've got I've got three framed Marones. I've got my
Speaker 4: JT one here. I'll have to put them up on
Speaker 4: the wall. I actually had the twenty sixteen framed Queensland
Speaker 4: one that way want because it was a year that
Speaker 4: money was born. So it's got like the ball cut
Speaker 4: out and the signature and stuff. You might hold that, Nick,
Speaker 4: I'll get you to balance the other one.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I met your backing course. I can't
Speaker 2: argue with any I'm just gonna get up there and
Speaker 2: get habits. And then the book ended with the game itself.
Speaker 1: So the next week talk will be Nicolas and Nicola
Speaker 1: and Tea's trip to sun Corps Stadium next week. The
Speaker 1: first part they'll be there will be controversy. Then Park
Speaker 1: there'll be the controversy part of it. I want to
Speaker 1: tell you if you have you got a story of
Speaker 1: a song that means something to you before, just before
Speaker 1: you think of that. I wanna tomorrow and not. I
Speaker 1: think Nicola told me I want to wish the Italian
Speaker 1: ladies soccer team. They're playing a semi final against the
Speaker 1: Big Bad No that about tomorrow. I think that was tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I want I wanted to wish the girls luck there.
Speaker 1: They're playing the big bad English team, so full luck
Speaker 1: to them. On the other side is the world champions,
Speaker 1: the Spanish team. So who they're playing. They're playing the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: Oh no, they playing Germany. Sorry, Germany's same thing.
Speaker 2: Germany the hardcore English sort of bully team against absolutely technical.
Speaker 2: So if we get Italy and Spain in, it will
Speaker 2: be like technical city. I don't know how that looks like,
Speaker 2: but they'll be technical ball around. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: to see if I can watch it, if it's if
Speaker 2: those two teams get in, because maybe I can learn something.
Speaker 2: But I'll give you a stat. In the men's Germany
Speaker 2: have never beaten Italy in a World Cup match. Really.
Speaker 2: In fact, they've only ever beat in Italy once drawn.
Speaker 2: They've only ever beaten Italy once in a competitive match ever,
Speaker 2: and that was a penalty shootout in twenty sixteen Euros
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. We've played in World Cup finals, semi finals,
Speaker 2: European Cup semi finals, you name it. That's interesting. The
Speaker 2: only time in history they've ever beaten it is one
Speaker 2: time on a penalty shooter. Is there some sort of
Speaker 2: style stylistic issue es mentally obvious. Yeah, okay, what do
Speaker 2: you got for me to to wrap up the pod?
Speaker 4: So I like to listen to a lot of old
Speaker 4: school music, and I was I heard so I sound contankerously.
Speaker 4: We were driving up to Brism and we just had
Speaker 4: the music kind of rolling through and it was on
Speaker 4: a mix and I heard the remix of a song
Speaker 4: and I was like, God, that sounds so familiar, and
Speaker 4: said to Gray, I was like, I'll just chuck the
Speaker 4: lyrics into Google because I feel like I know the
Speaker 4: voice of the person and you guys should know this song.
Speaker 4: And I've just been playing on repeat since it's amazing.
Speaker 4: But there were so many remixes of this song that
Speaker 4: and like I couldn't find the original person because I
Speaker 4: had this particular you know when you just know the sound. Anyway,
Speaker 4: do you guys remember Synick from the two thousands? You'll
Speaker 4: know it. I'll say that song. It feels so good
Speaker 4: to sing it. Yeah. No, when when she's like no,
Speaker 4: I'm going to send it to you can plain at
Speaker 4: the end.
Speaker 2: I have to hear it.
Speaker 4: But it's just one of those it just takes me
Speaker 4: back right, Like there's a lot of the music now
Speaker 4: and obviously your son George, she's getting very successful to
Speaker 4: doing the music VIDs and and everything else. But I
Speaker 4: the lyrics and everything else, like now it's just not
Speaker 4: you don't have the same as what it used to
Speaker 4: be back then. And there was stories behind it because
Speaker 4: I was reading into her like she was in the top,
Speaker 4: like she was number one in the UK for like
Speaker 4: I don't know, four weeks or something for this song,
Speaker 4: and it's just one of those ones, you know, it
Speaker 4: just takes you back. It's like a smell or it's
Speaker 4: like a yeah, and it just it probably isn't your flavor,
Speaker 4: but you should remember it because it was.
Speaker 1: I sort of I can't remember the song, but I
Speaker 1: remember the young girl, curly hair, dark dark kin.
Speaker 2: I remember the song the video when I hear ye
Speaker 2: talking to the street and.
Speaker 4: She's just and I love. It's like I like discovering
Speaker 4: or rediscovering, you know, parts of myself right like especially
Speaker 4: as parents or whatever, we don't never have time to
Speaker 4: do that. And it just reminds me of you know, like,
Speaker 4: what was it two thousands, I would have been like
Speaker 4: starting my first job. I think I was working at
Speaker 4: macas or something. That second job, and you know, my
Speaker 4: brother would have been driving me to work and we
Speaker 4: would have been playing it. And you remember the Wild CDs.
Speaker 2: And when they kicked off in ninety five. The thing
Speaker 2: about those songs is that when I hear those songs,
Speaker 2: I know where I was, where we were, and where
Speaker 2: we were hanging out and who is Yeah, it looks
Speaker 2: like a photo album and we knew each club were
Speaker 2: in when what year it was.
Speaker 4: It's funny two guys and we can chuck it on
Speaker 4: the end to me, should you remember it?
Speaker 2: I'm sure?
Speaker 4: Yeah, those pep up songs. It's been a repeat like
Speaker 4: all week with my Other option was to play kids
Speaker 4: one that you know, It's a little Bit Girl because
