Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Dancy
Waldgrave from News Talks EDB.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
All the scores, all the stories.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
More questions, more scrutiny.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's the All Sport Breakfast with Dancy Walter Grave, News Talks.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
EDB seven thirty seven. Let's get over the Deadhello, Jim.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Dolan, Lorning, Darcie.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Indeed it is more so for you. I don't know
how you get up for this on a regular basis.
We must pay particularly well, let's head.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I just love having a chat with you.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh job, come in here, give us a cuddle. Don't
pack her up, back away. Dylan Walker stepping up to
the plate after he well stepped away from the Warriors.
So he's on the way.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, he got to sit on the bench last week
as you watched Paramatta lose. Today he will be on
the bench, but he'll be injected into the action at
some stage. Against the Dragons this afternoon seems possibly as
their best sign to get off the mark. There's been
some good signs for the but they're still winless for
twenty twenty five. Can Dylan be the difference from the bench.

(01:11):
All eyes also will be on the bench, perhaps when
Jerome Hughes he is in the final seventeen to make
an early return for the Storm tomorrow, just two weeks
since breaking his hand. The half backs back to try
and turn things around for Melbourne who just look completely
at sea against the Dragons last week. And yeah, he'll

(01:33):
be a very important man. Ironically, there's been a lot
of talk this week about the Battle of Brookvale, the
most infamous game between Melbourne and Many played at Brookvale Oval.
If Hughes had been playing in that sort of game,
he would definitely need both hands for the punching on.
But they're not load to punch anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Stop encouraging people, Jim, stop that back nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It has been everywhere on the coverage of the lead
up of this game this week, and not that these
two could feature heavily finals later this year. It's just so.
I remember when Glenn Stewart Adam Blair they had a
set to on the way to this Indian after they
had already got up in each other's faces. O, though,
the way they're going, we don't play the game like

(02:18):
this anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
We don't do this anymore. At the drop of the head.
Hey look here's some violence.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, well it's goes way back to because remember
in the eighties when they tried to take State of
Origin to Long Beach, California. The promotional poster they used
was a player spear tackling another that had led to
a long suspension.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So yeah, class at the Australians, let's get away from
rugby league and go to Super Rugby Pacific. I'm led
to believe that people have actually sitting up right and
going old on. We're not rubbish anymore US Australian teams.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, the Queenslanders always excited by the Reds, especially when
they've got one of their own legs kiss leading the
way for them and he could be the next Wallaby's coach,
but we just don't know. We've got the Waratahs had
good one week, not another. How I'll go today will
be very interesting. But the things that's happened in rugby

(03:18):
this week is Noah La Laicio dropping a bombshell but
you know I'm going to play in Japan next year.
That has seen the first choice number ten for the
Wallabies now looking a little bit shaky and everyone will
be watching Ben Donaldson he runs out for the Western
Force today because he's seen these now perhaps the long
term Wallaby's number ten, unless another kid by the name

(03:40):
of Liner can follow in Dad's footsteps and step up
long term. So a Lola Seo we don't know Coach
Tom Schmid from the Wallabyes. He's infuriating the local media
which they used to be told things on the sly
or getting stuff. He's just a completely storm about everything.
He won't say who he'd preferred or should be his
successor as Wallaby's coach. And he won't say if Lolla

(04:04):
Seo will play against the British and Irish Life or
should be considered to play for the Wallabies in the
World Cup just a couple of years away now, So yes,
a little bit of mystery. But we'll see how Ben
Noldson reacts with spotlight on him this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, your front row stocks it can't help, but raising
an eyebrow. And I look at the Reds and see
a couple of fine New Zealanders in there to among
Allen hodgmans On. Hodgman probably plays league in as spirits.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mate, Yeah, there have always been a bit of
a problem of getting the big boys into the systemce
here they generally look either to New Zealand or South
Pacific Nations or the NRL to try and stock up
the forward. So this front row would certainly like to
see a couple of those being produced. There's many people

(04:55):
watching the Under Twenties Championship on at the moment, so
hopefully there's some big young fellows coming through.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Right. Let's pegging out. Put a bowl on it with
a journey for Australians and motorsports to different ones? Is
he doing's journey last night? Put him into the end
of the hoardings. It was pretty hairy.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Stuff Oscar Piastre. As we know, he's enjoying his time
and a strong team with a fast car getting checked flags. Well,
as you mentioned Jack doing learning about Formula one the
hard way, his team would have, as they like to
say for Baptist, pulling an all nighter to get the
card game, because the TV coverage wouldn't show the wreckage

(05:33):
of the chaffy after it happened because it was so alarming.
And yeah, like you said, he hit the wall at
the end of pit straight doing about three hundred with
the rear wheels off the ground, so that's probably not
what you want. The commentator said it was break failure
and the G force didn't help. And you've got to
put a lot of trust in your car going into
a corner like that, whereas the team has put the

(05:56):
blame squarely on Doing's shoulders. So I'd imagine he needs
to show something pretty special or he might's up the faces.
We've seen another junior Formulas there going back to at.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Least Liam's still in a Formula one car and he
didn't write his ride off and more than a normal night.
I think that need more than a stick of you
who I tell you that that car was pope for
one of another words, I think munted as the technical term.
I enjoy the weekend. Jim always love kicking the weekend
off with chat to due my friend Jim Dolan out

(06:30):
