Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, team, great to have you wear us for your
season regular season wrap on between two posts. It is
final sign baby, and we've got two, yes, two eusy
sides in the running in the playoff picture and to
help have a look at how that's all going to
play out in the week to come and what happened
on the weekend gone. It is a very warm welcome
(00:23):
to Morgan and hearing you Matt Burke, were welcome to
both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm good to go, yeah, very happy to be the
six we probably would have predicted, predicted.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Maybe one more Aussie side.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
You're cool blues, your cold blues about six weeks ago
I reckon and they came to fruition.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We've had a real fun morning Berkey. Just as a
quick segue, we were out at Toronto Zoo this morning
catching up with some little wallabies. We've got to handfeed
some wallabies which is cool. And lions coming up as
well in the weeks to come as well as awesome tronozoo.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, the reminder how lucky we are to have a
zoo like that as impressive as as a zoo in
the location that it was a.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Spot we had an epic epic game Friday Night, Man
a Joe starting between the Brumbies and the Crusaders. So
after it's all said and done, after it's all run
and won, the Brumbies finished third after a controversial calling
Crusaders camber victory. Where do we want to start? Do
we go straight to the postgame? What do you want
to do straight to the postgame?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Because you're both in the postgame straight.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
At the postgame.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The score should have been the scoreline should have been different, absolutely,
and I touched on it, Morgs. You took a one
word to it, and which is which is exactly what
should have happened. And the reasoning that your game afterwards
about why where they finished in the ladder games going forward,
that was a genuine knock on.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's going to pass the pub test.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
And we had the crew behind us, we had the judge,
jury and executioner behind us. That that very vocal Brumbies
crowd and they and they saw it straight away. Have
you got the ar he's just there. I don't know
what he's watching at that point there. We're all set
on the sideline as well, in what world?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
In what world?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
And that's world that's just you know, that's like one
of those books when you read when you were in
year five, like you know, turned the page fifty four
for this outcome one.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Choose your adventure, that good stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
She's your an adventure. It's going to try.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I reckon I went that hard. I actually got a
lot harder.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
What would you said? What needed to be said? Well,
how would you have gone harder?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
No? No, I just could have if you didn't want
to be objective, Like this is the professional game. Let's
be just not talking about an under third ends game
on a Sunday with a volunteer referee and dad's the referee. Yeah,
I refereed a couple of weeks ago. I was a
Marsfield Park. Yes, there as an assistant referee, and so
you were. You were doing your assistant referee the state
(02:42):
championships the other day. That's all we're talking about. We're
talking about a multi million dollar professional competition. The players
are professional, Everyone working around the game is professional, and
some are the referees that are playing around the world
that are held accountable, that are ranked and awarded games
on their performance. And part of our job is to
hold accountability through there.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What I'm struggling to understand is obviously there was a
lot of criticism of you in the postgame online. I'd
suggest ninety five percent of it was from offshore. That
would be a fairly accurate summation. And there's this I
think misguided I guess lens that's put on it that
you're moaning that as Aussie commentators, we're moaning in the
(03:26):
postgame because the result.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Hasn't gone our way.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
In no world ever, if that same thing happens at
Eton Park and it's an Aussie side who had a beneficiary,
other sky Sport New Zealand commentators not going to do
and say the same thing. So I just don't understand
where we've lost this. Maybe it's some broader thing societally,
but to go, you know what, they got it wrong
and they're being held to account and that's okay and
(03:49):
we move on to the next one.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But the one good thing I took out of it
is keep people still care, because there were there would
have been more comments that I got from Australian fans
in support, Happy, thankful, relieve that Wes actually starting to
just not cop it all the time. There's a real
undercurrent of perception that Australian teams losing fifty to fifty
(04:14):
decisions a lot, whether you're just referring the table, human nature,
whatever it is. And so there was a heap from
Australian fans defending, and there's a heap obviously from New
Zealand fans that don't want their team to win. I
think it was just pretty much down wherever your allegiances
allegiances lay, that's the way it went on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
For me. You've got to take away the bias.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I mean, you calling, and we do get excited when
if an icy team scores a tribe to get excited
if you know there's a spectacular Key Week team or
a Fiji sim or whatever. So I think that's that's
what we have to tell everyone out there as well.
But when it's blatant like that, you've got to pick
it and you've got to be we've got to have
the courage to pick it for both sides. Now, we've
got to have the courage to pick it for both
(04:53):
teams to say that was robbed going out the way
if it was.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
If you if you think we wouldn't and watch the
last years of coverage, we've done correct what we did.
The feedback we receive it stand from New Zealand players,
New Zealand officials, from the Druer, the team themselves, is
that they love the way we cover the game for them.
We love the way that we celebrate the positives in
our game.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Who's responsible ultimately for that decision?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I think James Dilmond, who, as you know, mores I
get on really well with and enjoys company and the
rest of it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He looked a touch on side of it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The assistant ref near side had a perfect twenty twenty
shot on it. So is he the one who will
get held to account for that or is it the
whole referee team cops it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't think. I don't think much will happen. There's
lots of little bits and pieces in that action. There's
a counter up from the Brumbies which hits a player
back and there's arms around, there's an obvious knock on.
Of course, there's bits and pieces everywhere. So as I
said straight after the game, it's not it's not a
Dolmond call. He's unsited. He thought it was off a
foot and he was blocked by a player. That happens
all the time. Then the assistant referee has of you
(06:04):
doesn't see it. Our issue is these protocols around TMO.
So earlier in the match there's a bit of a
howl where one of the assistant referees thought the ball
had been touched when it got kicked out and the
Brumbi's hand was a meter away something like that.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
He shanked it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, when he shanked it right. They fixed that. So
in the downtime between the line out and there, they
fixed that and changed the call. No try resulted in
that there was no foul play, but they could fix
that because it was logical. So it's a referring team thing. Look,
it's not a huge I would just think that when
I wouldn't mind if in the last ten minutes of
a game, when the game's on the line, if there's
(06:39):
a howler we can avoid, let's let the TMO come
in and fix it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay the dramas.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
The dramas are in the twenty twenty three World Cup
Final about the knock on that called back the All
Blacks try. The New Zealand fans, you don't like it
because it costs you a try. And it's outside protocol.
So African fans, you love it because the right call,
but they went out of system to get it. That's
the medium we're in.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
So that's the that's the pubtest. I'm talking about. What's
the protocol then in saying where, how, where and how
far can you go back from adjudicating that in discretion?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If a try scored, you go through that phase of play.
But that wasn't a try, right, so then they just
leave it. It was not for our player. They just leave it.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
So that's the how we're trying to get rid of it, right,
That's that's the one we're winning.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Some yeare's and that's also sport. And we said it
after the game. Crusaders got their opportunity, were good enough
to take it when Drummy's got a chance. They weren't
good enough to take a drop goal or keep it
tight enough to draw a penalty. There's all that, but
the context of that decision means it was a Brumbie scram.
It's another sixty seconds time off the clock they kicked
(07:43):
down the other end. You'd expect a very different result
from that game.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But I did it because you said before it's a
multimillion dollar game and it's just sport. I played when
it was just sport, when you got the fat la
Laura referees down halfway and Campe's he scores a try,
he's halfway out and he gives it because there were
no cameras.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
And what have you.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
And how many times hello, I've scored a trial where
I've knocked it on and I've been given, I've been
taken away one when.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You get it down.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So I don't reckon, we say it's not sporting more.
I think we've got to be able to have that
real definition of the people upstairs. If they're not sighted,
just pick it up to it mate. That was a
knock on, pull it back.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And when we saw that with the Noel Obasia knock
on for a Brumbies Triversua Tars in Sydney, I think
Okief on the run was like, oh, I might have
got that wrong. Can you check? And as they're playing
on he does. So there's enough downtime for a teammate
to help. So look it is, how long is a
piece of string around? TMO help? And we're always looking
for the right medium between speed of game and really
fatas of results I.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Do want to touch on this before we sort of
go back into who played well for both teams and
what it looks like in terms of Brumbies hopes this year.
Why did no body from the Brumbies step into the
pocket and take a shot at drop goal with a
minute to go? And this isn't on any one person.
This is a team. Aren't you preparing for the said eventuality?
This isn't essentially this is a knockout game a week
(09:03):
early because if you don't finish second, your odds of
winning are so rapidly diminished the title, right, So why there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Was so many chances?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There was no plan, so there was nothing doing.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, it was played for the penalty. Played for the penalty.
If you take the shot with a minute to go,
you're still going to get the ball back. Yeah, you're
still getting the ball back.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
So we got you lose the territory if you yeah,
you lose.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It, you're going to get it back towards the twenty
two correct.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, correct. It's really interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We spoke about on the sideline when it was all
playing out, and I remember saying to Nick that there's
no plan at the moment, that sort of it's a
bit headless. They're trying to go for that try and
they're trying to and then we sort of said, well
they're trying to get that penalty. They're trying to ink
that pedaly out. I go back to my time when
I played, we never had a plan. Bernie Luck and
when he hit that field goal against South Africa, he
(09:53):
was hoping to hit it dead and he just flushed
it down the middle. I then went to England and
played with Johnny Wilkinson and that was just his go to.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
That was his play.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
If we got until the twenty two and we're fluffing about,
he'll just ping a field goal and come away with
three points. We just don't have that. I don't know
where we've got the skill to do it either. Remember
Harrison's field goal against Crusaders last year and he hit
it flush. I don't think we have the technical nouse
to be able to set ourselves up and do it.
I challenged him, if they do have it, come and
(10:22):
tell me they do have it. But I don't reckon
we've got it because we're always trying to score tries
and not come.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Away with points.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's a last resort, it's a last risk.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So they're they're thinking, we're going to attack until we
get penalty advantage or someone makes a great carry, we
get within five meters, then we're going to whack away,
wake away, try and borrow one over. Eventually they thought
there was that space on the edge and look like
Tool holds this ball, but there wasn't much happening out there.
You'd say, with it's tactically smart to get there. But
he holds that ball five meters out with a foard
(10:52):
pack on the front foot, so pretty confident they're going
to score.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh man, just take the three. They snap a shot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
There are guys throughout that I'm saying could easily rip
one off. Yeah, mate, they couldn't have had a better
field position.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
You remember, do you remember I'm going back a few
years now, probably eight years now, nine years Carter was playing.
Was that it was at in Brisbane and they were
down by a couple of points and they end up
getting this is the all Black said. And they ended
up getting the ball and they just marched their way
up the field and Carter had a shot and it
slid by left hand side and they could have won thing.
I think it was a draw that game. Could like
(11:26):
twenty fourteen could have been. But I just thought that's
what people need to do. You've got to understand where
you want to go to and you had to conduct
it rather than perhaps the Noah hit and hope we'll
give it to a bloke who's sort of got some
fast feet on the edge.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So how many times in his whole life as a
footy player would Nola I have had to do that? Yeah,
get in a position to kick a field goal? Does
that semi in Auckland a few years ago where they
had a long range shot less than five and he's
in his twenty something, he's playing rugby as a junior.
You're never doing it never. Yeah, I get all that,
(11:59):
but I'm just saying that we just don't do it.
We don't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
If you want to win and we're agreeing with you,
it may come down to that. I just don't understand
why that wasn't in the kit bag going in.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Anyway, What you end up doing is you just go
hit one side, hit the other side, come back. You
just go and then you put two guys in the
pocket and if you get some sort of quick ball
carry with a block, then you have the lash but
it's an all in.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's an all but it wasn't an all because they
still had time.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You figure that it takes forty five seconds to kick
that drop goal. One you can jam it into touch
two you jam it long like it's a different situation
of being fifteen minutes home.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I'm having a pop. I'm having a pop all day
every day, I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ahead of that, though, they played some great for you
coming back from that halftime. The depisite that Brumbies played
beautiful rubby, which gives me great hope for the back
end of the season, fell as this try the pool
pass I think it was from Bobby v.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, it was just great to see. It's a little
bit of a change up three men forward shape. Instead
of one going out the back, they shift along one
more pat to Valentini, who has the most perfect bloat
you could ever want appearing there. So normally it would
be Frost behind Valentine. So it's a change up on
their shape and it's great to see that it was
with a try.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
But that holding that depth from the outside as well,
there was there were still four players attracting someone and
ikeitel around that great that little line Joe Roff used
to run a line very similar, just appear in a
gap and then he gassed it and was it was
a spectacular try.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Bobby V important in the lead up there.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Bobby V was just massive in the second half in general,
Fellers who else jumped out at you from a Brumby's perspective,
that makes you think, you know what, it's going to
be okay this week against the Canes. He loves the camera.
He would get him every time, every time with it.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I thought, right, Lonigan was good again, you know, just
trying to control around that that base and trying to
control that.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
The play Valentini was was outstanding.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
That two hits in about a minute and a half
and they were just rocking hits and you just know
that you're just going to get all of him when
you're taking the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Up, and I think that was a good shot.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I think they were all pretty good, truthful, especially the
last forty minutes. Brumbies will if they can bottle that
and take that and put that into eighty, they'll be okay.
Don't know about that. That was excellent. The second forty,
first forty they just got beat into the punch. A
couple of times didn't play like themselves. You know, they
scored that early try then it was almost like that
took them down a peg in terms of an enthusiasm,
(14:31):
but just being right on the edge physically what they
needed to be. And then Crusaders of course were good
as well. So it's just a really good game of
footy that went all the way down to the wire
and Crusaders were able to take there.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So they've got the Canes this week.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
This is a rematch earlier this year where the Canes
came to town and were as good as we've seen
them in recent times, beating the Brumbies on that occasion. Well,
the gameplay out the same way.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I know it's Monday, but I'm already so pumped this
coming Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's not just the one through the year. Remember Ardisa
there it was ruled to be held up. Yes, was
that two years back? Ye, Like, there's been some big
games this team Hurricanes Brumbies matchup. It's been a few
of them. Brumbies beat the Canes, so they only want
to beat them in the regular season. Last year there
was those bits and pieces, so there's a bit of
history there. The Brumbies. Being at home is always an
(15:17):
edge and the little lessons from last week will help them.
But any team with cam Royguard playing the way he
is at the moment, they could win the whole thing.
The Canes, they could win this and win the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, I can't wait. It's going to be good. We're
going to build it up all week long. The other
Australian team men who will be competing for the title.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The last of the two sides left, the Queen zam Reids,
who were ruthless in their absolute hammering of the drewer
on a wet night in Brison Lokie Ands and the
man with four tries in that absolute smash up of the.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Drewer fell at Burkie. You can't believe how wet it was.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
It was bucketing down on the way to the ground
all day, all night, wasn't it didn't stop?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Calling it up, called the racers off down the road.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
What did you do beforehand?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I got a lot of study done.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
It's all in the wall.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
He had a quiet afternoon, but you know it didn't
have a quiet afternoon. Locky Anderson, who's just come out
right place, right time. I'm going to get some thoughts
on Locky Andison from one of these team mates later
in the show. But guys, he's just coming on and
on and on. This young man.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I got that chance to score that try against the
war Tars on the bounce a little Night's little titless
prob one sat up for him nicely and he scored
the try.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
We spoke to him after the game.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He's a massive human like he would be six three
six four, And you just think, like when you're out
there and when we're at the pitch there and Mores,
you know, I mean, you're not you're what are you
six two? And you look at these blokes and outside
you're thinking you should be playing background. But he's got speed,
he's got size, he's got strength, and he knows how
to find a tryaline And it's amazing when you just get,
(16:53):
when you just get an opportunity, how much you thrive
and how much you grow. And then obviously with the
guys that are inside in there being able to shift
him the ball and give him to a ball in space,
you know, well done.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It means tick the box every time.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, there's a truth and it's a halfh run. He's
in a better team. He's got better players around him
now that he's come from Melbourne. You know, he did
well down there and obviously took him some time to
just sneak across to the fifteen game again and just
be aware of all the intricacies of his positional play.
But you know, you've got John Campbell that you're working
with in the back line, you're sharing some roles with
(17:26):
Doungoun and you've got Piss Army there in the middle
line is playing. We've got all these great back rollers
playing around you. Quality a player around you really helps that.
I think he was the pick of them on the weekend.
And you forget like Joe Roff, Drew Mitchell and now
Luckie Anderson. They're the most try scored by Australian superb
before just those three, Like it's rare Rolf, Mitchell, Anderson.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
That's a great trivia question.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And I reckon Drew's were against the lines in Sydney
with here four Roth was maybe against the Sharks at
Marnarka Oval.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, that's exactly That's pretty good for me. He's good
intributed to yeah, Macus Spring and Seanjuaane Nui. Of course,
it's called five. That's so one of the five best
individual tryscoring performances in the history of Super rugby is huge.
Think about the finishes we've had in that five years.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
How Josh Flicko returning from injury. We haven't seen him
since round three. He has resigned with Aussie Ruby, which
is a massive, massive result for Queenslan and the broader
game here in Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
How do you play again?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You just talk about, Yeah, it's difficult to come back
after so many weeks off and actually make an impact.
I think for him for this game of the weekend
was more about just doing his role, you know, to
support play, give space to the guys on the outside,
make his tackle. So look, you could say it was
a I think a welcome return for him in that space.
And then obviously when you're looking at when he's talking
about Australian rugby, it's a it's going to be a
(18:49):
beneficial role for having him in amongst it. So look
tick the box they get through. He gets another chance
to impress this weekend as well.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Big minutes. Considering it was a hamstring injury, he put
the foot down for the try one that was probably
the great sign loomed down the right hand, so I
looked for support, said no, okay, Bang, I'm going to
go and reaccelerated hamstring stood up. And what he does
he does the basics well, makes his tackles, communicates well.
Is a good foil at center. They're better for having
him back in the turn.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Speaking of guys in the team doing well, Joe Brile
scores the final try. Now I need I need a kid,
I Eda gen X, a millennial, someone younger than we are,
to explain the pole celebration. So you can't tell me.
Is it Henry Polly? It's both getting and giving it
to him? Is poly the man who started this whole thing?
Was there someone else who started the pole celebration?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Someone explained it to me?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Please, I'm the oldest person on this panel, so morgs,
here we go.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I'm the youngest person on this panel. I know it's Yeah,
I think it's a pretty old It's not Henry Pott
didn't create it? Well, who created it? It's just a
bit of seppo, you know what.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
He should have gone out from game.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, yeah, it would have come out of America like
it was like, I'm is it like I'm still at
my resting heart rate because I'm so.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Cool, I'm so good.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, but he got reverse polls from WW and he
took it for him. It was a good finish for Brill,
who was increasive again. So the Reds take on the
Crusaders this week. I don't even I don't even know
where to start with the draw I don't even think
we need to touch on the drawer.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
They didn't win.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's twenty three, twenty three and out on the road
across the last few years. I just they were close
early on, then they give away an almost an attacking
other card penalty and then that's cooked cooked.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah. Just discipline is the end point. It covers too
much that word. But they just they cannot maintain concentration
on their call roles for the eighty minutes. At the moment,
we thought the Glenn Jackson a lot throughout the year.
He's been upbeat. They trained hard. They're a great group.
They have, you know, issue like like the force, they
travel a lot, those sorts of things. They seem to
(21:00):
deal with it very well. They just get on with
the job. It's a great group of kids and experienced players.
Now first two players to play fifty games for Super
for the draw on the weekend, so they're starting to
find players with experience, but they're just they're just behind
inaccuracy the other teams and it just adds up overseas.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
And then the other night it just didn't. It just didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean, this was the perfect summation of their night,
almost their season. They got so many times they got
inside the posing sides red zone. It kind of vary
almost from fifty try to shove his way past line
out in a touch.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That was kind of the wrap up of the year
for them.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So back to the Red So Crusaders this week Friday night,
Horn's going over to fly the flag for the Sands
Sport team.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It's going to be a beauty. It's going to be
an absolute beauty.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
What do you I mean the speed of play, which
when we spoke to James I a couple of weeks
ago and now after that Tars game, he was talking
about the training methods that they have and and look,
I know I understand all the teams.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Everything's faster and more. Friend Egg.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
We spake on the weekend about that recycle play. The
Crusaders team have this recycled play that is just express
and if you're not ready for it, sort of get
out of the way because someone else is coming to
take your play. So I think the Reds can combat that,
but it's going to be a tough ass for them.
Breakdown is going to be so important for them to
slow it down.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well the other way you said they're going to be
drifted into an out of games. The Reds in twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Some of their twenty minute blocks are irrepressible, just brilliant
rugby to watch, focus, great execution, but they have some
downtimes there. They're probably one of the best teams I've seen.
When they get a line break against them, they are
desperate to get back. They get great numbers behind the ball.
If you see an opposition we are going for the corner,
there's invariably five Reds players scrambling to get back there.
(22:45):
But what they aren't always good at is, you know,
doing it the easy way, which is not allowing the
line break to begin with. They just do have those issues.
It's just where they are at as a team. It's
what's holding them back. And if you have a five
to ten minute period like that in christ Church, it's
lights out.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
It's going to be gone and.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You met the collision.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Collision.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You got to win collisions and you've got to fix
that breakdown. Watch the Brumbies game and watch what the
Crusaders did in the defensive breakdown. If they're able to
do that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
They no way that's allowed to happen this week.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, there can be no way the broader refereeing group
cannot watch that game from last week and allow that
to happen again.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But if you're in a semi.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
If you're the Reds, do you know what, let's kiss
there saying right now. No, we don't wait for the
referee to do it. We do it ourselves. If you're
gonna wait for a referee to do that, you're in
the wrong. You get their first, get their lower, get
their first, be lower, work hard on the ground, win collisions.
Like he's got to say, Reds, we do our job.
Mavroline a referee to clean up our quick ball forward.
(23:40):
It's your job to give us quick.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ball fast, bring back rucking.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
That's one for the other show.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Fellas Blues, the war Retars, the war Tars organization in
South Wales Wroight. We had one one game at Eton
Park in ninety seven years of trying, so the going
in and at ten six you thought maybe the a
rhythm's got this wrong, maybe the tars are going through
and then it just old baby.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
One Dame or ninety seven years.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It should have been too.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You guys got close.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, if Matt Burke wasn't on the piece in an
Ice bas if you read Burkey's.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Autoboger was in Newcastle, listen, it's ten six through thirty
seven minutes of action.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We were watching, obviously from our hotel room in Brizzy Burkey,
what were you thinking at that score line?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Did you think okay?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
There was a bit of okay about it, but there
was a bit of what you take? What did you take?
Three points twice?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You know, you had to you had to score, try
to beat to beat the Blues. You're gonna have to
score tries.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You're gonna get to twenty at least twenty five.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You've got to have something in the bank, you know.
And when they did that just before halftime, I think
it was and about the twenty half minute, I think
they got I think they got their direction wrong. I
don't know who made the decision to go.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Go for the goal.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I know that, you know when you're talking about it,
and we spoke about it briefly on the sideline of
the Brumbies game. You've got to keep the pressure on
if you if you let that pressure valve go, you
just the opposition team goes beautiful, we're out of here.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
We can go territory, we can go pace.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
And then they end up scoring two tries in about
seven minutes, and so I thought that's where they got
a few of the things wrong at.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Ten to seven. Was their hope.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
There was hope, but I don't think they were ever
going to actually overcome this outfit.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Did you think that Teala's try should have stood because
that was rather.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Crucial in the end.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
No, because there was the world's biggest forward pass here whereabouts?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Where there?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
What mate, Jordi Barrett is in front of the player
who's passing the ball.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
So how do you do that? Okay, they messed that
up there.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It doesn't matter where he stands.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
The hand mate.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That is so forward, so typical Aussie commentator, that.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Many forward passes in this environment, It is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's pretty flat. That's okay, is I record?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Could you.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Let's you cannot be in front.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I can be in front of the I forget about
where bar it is. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Backwards out of the hat, it's nothing, It's.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Only it comes out of the hand.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Be quiet, Be quiet, Not that I had anything with
the game. The war won't go win that game.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
But all I'm seeing each week forward passes. Each week.
We've got to get back to that pub test.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Don't take I tell you what when you tell you
examples to the pub, don't run in with that one
because people say you can we go back.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
To outside you're the crowd.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
What about what about line tackle? Just then? From the
throwing the ball throw at one.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Throat, that was forward, that was for you. Didn't mention
it then, did you? When you're right, you liked it is.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So what do we want now? The shoulder pad, the
shoulder charge on from let's a penalty try.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He wants to get a high five for trying to
try one of the hardest running hooking.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Of course, of course the hint of a rap with
the right army may yeah, actually.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tommy just saw Timmy get drilled. He's like, oh, tom, who.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Was I got to go back to who was who
was the who was the winger for Auckland and the
Blues around my time.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I've got his name now. Was Dougie No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Who was then?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No no no, no.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Winger Joe dear Joel even Deary. There we go.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So we're playing Auckland in Auckland and Matt Dowling was
the winger. I said to he, mate, you got him?
I said, mate, just rush up, and he just had
some have some, had some time. I don't give him time.
Make sure you take his space away and he goes
my record.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
I've got him.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I've got to speak. I just worked the sideline. I said,
please don't and the first play that were double cut,
and it got to him and his shadows shadow shadow,
and just went like what and then.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
And I hit him. I tackle him, I reckon. I
knocked myself out.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I got up. I went, don't even do that. And
there's a few other words in there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Rico Yuani, speaking of finishes, he grabs three on the weekend,
equal the Great Man Doggie Howard's fifty five tries.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
With the Blues.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I do love watching Rico when he's in form. He's
a good watch. Still, there's still a lot of chat
that goes on. He was into Joe Walton after going
over one of those as well.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah you're allowed to though, when when you're scoring allowed
to run for as he looks a bit of gas.
When Calloway chasing down, I thought he was I thought
he was a shoeing for that one there.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, came over. Yeah, well he's getting a little bit older.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yeah, but you're allowed your lad to have chat.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
We all lose all those of you that had it.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Well, yeah, yes he might have lost.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Half a yard, but he's probably gained it up here.
You will you look at.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
That that that short try he did was outstanding. Just understand,
just giving the forwards a bit of a rest and say,
I'll take it up crash over the line.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you throw a lip when you were up big
with tars and wallabies?
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I don't think we're up big with tars or wallabies.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So there's a few times a couple of people copped
it from him from him.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Yeah fullback, No one heard me, no lip, no lip.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I was nil by lip.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I was in the Lippy Blake group.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Every mother in law's favorite neil By Lip, never by lip.
I'll bring him home for dinner. Never no lippy Burkie
che steel he was always he was just shut.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Cheese fee Highlighters forty one, twenty four. I'll keep this
short and sharp because it's the Chiefs who ran away
with you in the Highlanders, as they have done all
season long, put together some terrific moments, really really good moments.
It wasn't enough to get them across the line against Highlanders.
Chiefs take top spot, Highland taped bottom spot. They get
wooden spoon. This was the other big game from the weekend.
(29:51):
Hurricanes Viat Mawana Pacifica everyone's second favorite team, Mawana hah.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
CIFKA got close.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Early and then the Canes just on another year and
this sets us up for the weekend in CARMARTI leads
him out the huge performance again from Anisi scores a
try in that game.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Up against He's our club.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Yeah, heck, this is rockstar, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Well when it comes to just.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Owning the cake tin, I mean his season has been outstanding,
hasn't He's since coming back from Japan, where he dominated.
He was show and Go, Chip and Chase. He was
doing everything over there, and he sort of brought that
bit of flare back again. Ye know, but that that
that seven or old that he does is so on
the ball still and there I mean, there you go.
(30:37):
Welcome home Arty. So you know he not as he
got support from Mowanam. He's got the support from the
Hurricanes as well, and you know, again dominates in a
team that that struggled that night.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But he's just you get thrilled, County.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Can you imagine just thinking back to his time in Japan.
Imagine you're the line worker at suntorys Hungle Life and
your job is putting labels on fancy bottles of whiskey
during the day, and then on the weekend you got
to play. And he said, I just throw yourself at
his feet.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Have you done Japan? Have you done? Have you done
coaching in Japan at all? Mondy coaching in Japan for
a while. Then I'm out there and.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Coacher, Yeah, I think anything you want to week cash.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Week, kicking week, scotty wife, whiskey bottle, that's right. I'm
still waiting for the classics to come through.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
But that's all right.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
And and we did the session with the team and
I went, let's wrap it up, and goes like, no,
we don't go home yet.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
He said that was the professional players. Now the company
players come along and I went, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Then he goes, well, said this guy over here, this
guy here is systems analyst. He's come in and he's
working his way up. He's going really well. And then
he want it to a tight end proper and he
goes he works the boomgate and he will for the
next twenty years. I went, well, up, But he's got
a job. He's in the company and that's what that's
his role. So by the end of the week I
couldn't speak, and because you're yelling out all the instructions,
then it gets interpreted.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And I just said the interpreter, so make can you?
And he's looked at me.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Nup.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I said, you have to do the voice. I could
be saying anything, but you have to be the voice
of reason.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It was good fun, though, I say, what he's good fun.
Getting Monster's macrom absolutely this week it is from this
game the Devon Flanders.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Try say Flanders first, because I'm going to call him
Flanders afterwards. This is my lovely billet, little ball across sorry,
and look at this the little chip and chase out
of the top of the laughter fender from the back roller.
So the Narsenal stript from Reyguard a lovely ball on
the edge. There's a heap of good tries in this one,
but I love a back roller chip and.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Chase Hagard was the passing before the chip, Chase the.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
One that was forward, start yelling cloudy and that was
a forward pass. It's not it's so far forward that
last pass of the inside has to be forward pretty
which that's a gratical Now forward, it's out of the hand,
but he's look backwards out of the hand that he's
so far forward.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Players.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm taking him to roll Ring a golf club on Wednesday.
After that, I'm taking straight over the road to the mall.
We're going to open a sam and we're going to
get those classes looked back.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Film you film, you've got to pass it back, which
you can't pass it there.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
If you know what physics is.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
I know exactly what physics is.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It doesn't matter what he's standing. Only matters with the
ball guy.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Of course, and then went forward.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Fantasy has come to a close, and you're.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Going to be a good referee.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I don't know how you got your aar ticket.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Do you know what how to do?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I took a picture, I sent it to you guys,
and then I end up sending and this gardener what's
the and even he got it wrong?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I right, I did? Was right?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Right? Yeah? There was one more forty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Fully credited as now and.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You'll see me running down the sideline at Stayed Champs
next week in Concord and tweeters.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's awesome, Fellows, fantasyes Cape will clothes this. We've just
captured so many people this year. There was over seventy
thousand players and the winner at the end of it
Callum Brown out of Melbourney. He takes home a ten
grand collect So I just I just want to recap
the numbers to make sure that we're doing this again
(34:17):
next year. Now, there are going to be some tweaks
required for twenty twenty six going forward, and I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
The crew spl will take it on.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
But such a good job that bringing in We had
seventy thousand players, twelve thousand different leagues, four point five
million players ins and outs. The most selective players across
the year was Artist Saville. The most captain player, which
we bring you double points, was the d Mac.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It was just awesome. And a special shout out.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
To my wife Marissa, who took out our little league
as well, all on our own and if this is
the idea behind it, and the reason I use her
as an example is because she watched every minute of
every game that had one of her players in it.
Woman who's in her mid forties, who has not who
(35:00):
doesn't you know, who's not fully hardcore in it, became
hardcore into it because of Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
That's why so well done was already the highest point
score across the season.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Will Jordan was on a run there. I think already
made Carlo Carlo was up there.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Good if you've nailed me with that one. But well
done to everyone who is part of fantasy. And also
for our lunch at co and shep I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
God, no boo, no boo.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Have you heard what he's going to try and do?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Also, I want us to go? Can we go?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It's worse than that, can drop him, can stop him in.
So he wants to try and auction off for lunch.
This is at car for a punner. So the punner
gets to come to our lunch, which would be great,
but he's trying to use the puner's money to pay
for the money he'd have to.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Pay to shout the lunch. Is that play on?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That's maybe we could send it to our managers and
invoice him to offset that.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Some of it's unimportant enough.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Fantasy's done. Time for our post is right?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh yes, we've got to before we can finish with
the fizz and the fireworks and the fun times that
goes with the Golden Post, the award. We need to
recap the weekend gone because this might have a big
impact in terms of two takes our top spot one
points from the weekend gone.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Please, men, what have you got books?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
No longer, so I thought, in trying circumstance, especially in
the first half, he was the pick of the Brumbies.
One clean line break, four or five tackle bus controlled
things as well as he could. It wasn't an easy
night of the office for a ten against that crusader's
rush defense and they went perfect the Brumbies, but no
one was good.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
I've gone the other ten from the Reds.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I've gone Tom Liner and again just controlling and when
you talk about who's.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Scoring the tries, it was on the width there.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
And I think that's one of the one of the
positive things the Reds have been able to do this
year is find some space out on the width there,
and he's been obviously the catalysts being able to do that.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Tami Germot one triggy conditions perfect having enabled Liner to
play well.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Number two points two points.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Tom Hooper tackles and carries huge breakdown entry is huge,
had an excellent season in a tough part of the
field where he lives all the time. Another two points
from me for Tom Hooper.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I like Ryan Lonigan on the weekend you know again
you talk about the middle that the Crusaders had. He
was busy around that that rock area, was trying his
best to clear the ball and create some space.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
He got a couple of runs. I just like the
way he works at nine.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Lockiy Anderson four tries two points. I thought he was
great and has been great for the large chunks of
the year.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Lock Anderson four tries three points.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Whoa when nearly went the jackpot Then Locky Anderson four
tries three.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
WHOA fellas feature Rolf Mitchell Anderson. Yeah, I can't really
can test you, guys, but I had Bobby v's my three.
He's almost got his side home after just hitting the
nitro in that second half. Okay, all right, I'll tell
you what Lockie has put in a late season charge.
I'm going to count him down from fourth through the
top spot.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
You're ready for this.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
In fourth place, equal on fifteen votes, it's the Toms
right in Hooper from the Brummy's work. Knowing that Hooper
was right up there in the MVP voting from our
Broader Super Rugby competition as well.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Third place with sixteen votes a man from the.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
West Carlo Tazano with sixteen ahead of him on twenty
two votes.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
In second place, I missed the.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Tom linerd season yep, Liner all right on twenty nine votes,
clear of Tommy by seven and bringing in the most
votes ever in a season in the long distinguished history of.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
The Golden Post is Fellas.

you up, so if you want to keep going. And
by the way, I've heard this is like guaranteed selection
for Wallaby is our crew for the other two. We'll
work for the other two exactly right. Taylor's going to
say to you, how this year it's been incredible for
you, You've played incredibly well. Hopefully more to come, obviously, with
the finals happening. Now, what's been the secret of the
(40:39):
Red success this year?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah, a lot of it's been down for less team
and just how they've brought through our next kind of
tier of depth. You know, we've been tested a little
bit this year with injuries, but the way we recruited
in the off season and the way that key guys
have played. You look at how much Tommy Line has
grown in that jersey and you know, tanza and accrusion
a really important part of the part of our system.
(41:04):
You know, the way we want to play, We've play
with a lot with and you know, it tends to
take control. And the way Tommy's developed as a player's
been a huge catalyst for the way we've kind of
developed as a team. And not only Tommy.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
You see guys like Dre Pacio has had a great.
Speaker 7 (41:18):
Season, you know in the center's both at twelve and thirteen,
Joe Browle just just to name a couple. So just
how quickly those guys have developed in the hot seat
has been really impressive and you know, has helped us massively.
Speaker 5 (41:31):
Throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Technically. Turn our attention, of course to this weekend. You
go to christ Church your Friday Night James O'Connor on
the side, you've got history of doing some good things
in Cross Church recently. What's the approach.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
Yeah, we got to we've got to do the basics
for mate. Obviously, we know the Cross The Crusaders are
a fantastic side, all blocks right across the park, so
we've got to have our focus on the ball. We've
got to make sure last time we played them, we
gave up possession way too easy. Big ranks of us
of our game the last couple of weeks has been
just how well we've competed in the air for our kicks.
(42:06):
And with the weather prediction coming that's that's going to
be important as well. So when we choose to give
them the ball, we're going to make it hopefully contest
and yeah, put them under pressure. So yeah, we've go
to we just got to make sure we do the
fundamentals well, we've got to make our tackles. I thought
our defense on the weekend was it was a great
starting point for where we need to go this weekend
of this Friday, and yeah, we're excited for the challenge.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Maybe he's had a word to the referee, but the
ruling of knock ons, mate, you might you might want
to give me all the tip if that goes forward.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
It's a it's a knock on.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
No com no come ahead, good boy.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Question for you Lockie and listen.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Right, So we've been obviously finding this guy really closely.
Was he sevens level then at the Rebels and he
has just come on massive in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Five with your blokes.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
What's been the key to Locke hitting that next level
and then looking like maybe go a little bit further
as well?
Speaker 5 (43:02):
Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
So, like you said, of lucky enough to play sevens
with Endo and the plaary was then to the player
is today's you know, his journey has been unreal and
you even look at how far he'd come in twelve months,
he's been absolutely you know, he's touch and go whether
he was in now starting twenty three at the start
of the year and he's absolutely cemenity spot and he's
(43:25):
been one of our best weekend week out and four
trials on the weekend you know something no other corns
and read in the rugby ere anyways, that's done.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
So it's yeah, really.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
Happy for him. He's worked hard, he's come into a
system where he's had to work hard and his rugby
IQ's improved as well, and that's health his game massively.
He suits the way we want to play. He's taugh,
he's abrasive and it's quick and they're all things that
we needed from our backs. And you know, he's come
in and been probably our best back to the honest
week and week.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Out, we could agree, well, that's a sure bump. Some
bruises from the weekend. The most worrying post much seemed
to be Harry Wilson. How's he tracking?
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Yeah, I think he's I haven't actually seen him where.
We're all kind of coming in at different times today,
but all the reports there is that he's good. So
might a little little bruise in a similar era, but nothing,
nothing to sweat on, so we're expecting he'll be.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
All the Bruce Bruce, Bruce Bruce, He'll be good to go.
Hey Tady, well done again mate on your golden Posty Award.
Burkie is currently working through the Team move Back catalog
for a couple of key rings for you and Fraser,
so that you can open up certain doors that others
might not be able to do. Us a favor, get
(44:42):
us a result against the Crusaders.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Friday please come party too hard.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
Yeah, jeers Guye, thank you very much. Tally appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yes, I could get some time there with Tate McDermott. Fellas.
That's a wrap on our show. We're back tomorrow with
the Big Guy both extra. He is just desk him
out to handle the four of us.
Speaker 5 (45:03):
Man, he's got a few stories.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
He's a good man. He's a good man.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
It'll be a great show as well, so we will
see you all again for between two posts extra with
the great One Owen Finnigan
Hello, team, great to have you wear us for your
season regular season wrap on between two posts. It is
final sign baby, and we've got two, yes, two eusy
sides in the running in the playoff picture and to
help have a look at how that's all going to
play out in the week to come and what happened
on the weekend gone. It is a very warm welcome
(00:23):
to Morgan and hearing you Matt Burke, were welcome to
both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm good to go, yeah, very happy to be the
six we probably would have predicted, predicted.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Maybe one more Aussie side.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
You're cool blues, your cold blues about six weeks ago
I reckon and they came to fruition.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We've had a real fun morning Berkey. Just as a
quick segue, we were out at Toronto Zoo this morning
catching up with some little wallabies. We've got to handfeed
some wallabies which is cool. And lions coming up as
well in the weeks to come as well as awesome tronozoo.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, the reminder how lucky we are to have a
zoo like that as impressive as as a zoo in
the location that it was a.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Spot we had an epic epic game Friday Night, Man
a Joe starting between the Brumbies and the Crusaders. So
after it's all said and done, after it's all run
and won, the Brumbies finished third after a controversial calling
Crusaders camber victory. Where do we want to start? Do
we go straight to the postgame? What do you want
to do straight to the postgame?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Because you're both in the postgame straight.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
At the postgame.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The score should have been the scoreline should have been different, absolutely,
and I touched on it, Morgs. You took a one
word to it, and which is which is exactly what
should have happened. And the reasoning that your game afterwards
about why where they finished in the ladder games going forward,
that was a genuine knock on.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's going to pass the pub test.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
And we had the crew behind us, we had the judge,
jury and executioner behind us. That that very vocal Brumbies
crowd and they and they saw it straight away. Have
you got the ar he's just there. I don't know
what he's watching at that point there. We're all set
on the sideline as well, in what world?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
In what world?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
And that's world that's just you know, that's like one
of those books when you read when you were in
year five, like you know, turned the page fifty four
for this outcome one.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Choose your adventure, that good stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
She's your an adventure. It's going to try.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I reckon I went that hard. I actually got a
lot harder.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
What would you said? What needed to be said? Well,
how would you have gone harder?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
No? No, I just could have if you didn't want
to be objective, Like this is the professional game. Let's
be just not talking about an under third ends game
on a Sunday with a volunteer referee and dad's the referee. Yeah,
I refereed a couple of weeks ago. I was a
Marsfield Park. Yes, there as an assistant referee, and so
you were. You were doing your assistant referee the state
(02:42):
championships the other day. That's all we're talking about. We're
talking about a multi million dollar professional competition. The players
are professional, Everyone working around the game is professional, and
some are the referees that are playing around the world
that are held accountable, that are ranked and awarded games
on their performance. And part of our job is to
hold accountability through there.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What I'm struggling to understand is obviously there was a
lot of criticism of you in the postgame online. I'd
suggest ninety five percent of it was from offshore. That
would be a fairly accurate summation. And there's this I
think misguided I guess lens that's put on it that
you're moaning that as Aussie commentators, we're moaning in the
(03:26):
postgame because the result.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Hasn't gone our way.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
In no world ever, if that same thing happens at
Eton Park and it's an Aussie side who had a beneficiary,
other sky Sport New Zealand commentators not going to do
and say the same thing. So I just don't understand
where we've lost this. Maybe it's some broader thing societally,
but to go, you know what, they got it wrong
and they're being held to account and that's okay and
(03:49):
we move on to the next one.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But the one good thing I took out of it
is keep people still care, because there were there would
have been more comments that I got from Australian fans
in support, Happy, thankful, relieve that Wes actually starting to
just not cop it all the time. There's a real
undercurrent of perception that Australian teams losing fifty to fifty
(04:14):
decisions a lot, whether you're just referring the table, human nature,
whatever it is. And so there was a heap from
Australian fans defending, and there's a heap obviously from New
Zealand fans that don't want their team to win. I
think it was just pretty much down wherever your allegiances
allegiances lay, that's the way it went on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
For me. You've got to take away the bias.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I mean, you calling, and we do get excited when
if an icy team scores a tribe to get excited
if you know there's a spectacular Key Week team or
a Fiji sim or whatever. So I think that's that's
what we have to tell everyone out there as well.
But when it's blatant like that, you've got to pick
it and you've got to be we've got to have
the courage to pick it for both sides. Now, we've
got to have the courage to pick it for both
(04:53):
teams to say that was robbed going out the way
if it was.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
If you if you think we wouldn't and watch the
last years of coverage, we've done correct what we did.
The feedback we receive it stand from New Zealand players,
New Zealand officials, from the Druer, the team themselves, is
that they love the way we cover the game for them.
We love the way that we celebrate the positives in
our game.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Who's responsible ultimately for that decision?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I think James Dilmond, who, as you know, mores I
get on really well with and enjoys company and the
rest of it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He looked a touch on side of it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The assistant ref near side had a perfect twenty twenty
shot on it. So is he the one who will
get held to account for that or is it the
whole referee team cops it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't think. I don't think much will happen. There's
lots of little bits and pieces in that action. There's
a counter up from the Brumbies which hits a player
back and there's arms around, there's an obvious knock on.
Of course, there's bits and pieces everywhere. So as I
said straight after the game, it's not it's not a
Dolmond call. He's unsited. He thought it was off a
foot and he was blocked by a player. That happens
all the time. Then the assistant referee has of you
(06:04):
doesn't see it. Our issue is these protocols around TMO.
So earlier in the match there's a bit of a
howl where one of the assistant referees thought the ball
had been touched when it got kicked out and the
Brumbi's hand was a meter away something like that.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
He shanked it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, when he shanked it right. They fixed that. So
in the downtime between the line out and there, they
fixed that and changed the call. No try resulted in
that there was no foul play, but they could fix
that because it was logical. So it's a referring team thing. Look,
it's not a huge I would just think that when
I wouldn't mind if in the last ten minutes of
a game, when the game's on the line, if there's
(06:39):
a howler we can avoid, let's let the TMO come
in and fix it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay the dramas.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
The dramas are in the twenty twenty three World Cup
Final about the knock on that called back the All
Blacks try. The New Zealand fans, you don't like it
because it costs you a try. And it's outside protocol.
So African fans, you love it because the right call,
but they went out of system to get it. That's
the medium we're in.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
So that's the that's the pubtest. I'm talking about. What's
the protocol then in saying where, how, where and how
far can you go back from adjudicating that in discretion?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If a try scored, you go through that phase of play.
But that wasn't a try, right, so then they just
leave it. It was not for our player. They just leave it.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
So that's the how we're trying to get rid of it, right,
That's that's the one we're winning.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Some yeare's and that's also sport. And we said it
after the game. Crusaders got their opportunity, were good enough
to take it when Drummy's got a chance. They weren't
good enough to take a drop goal or keep it
tight enough to draw a penalty. There's all that, but
the context of that decision means it was a Brumbie scram.
It's another sixty seconds time off the clock they kicked
(07:43):
down the other end. You'd expect a very different result
from that game.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But I did it because you said before it's a
multimillion dollar game and it's just sport. I played when
it was just sport, when you got the fat la
Laura referees down halfway and Campe's he scores a try,
he's halfway out and he gives it because there were
no cameras.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
And what have you.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
And how many times hello, I've scored a trial where
I've knocked it on and I've been given, I've been
taken away one when.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You get it down.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So I don't reckon, we say it's not sporting more.
I think we've got to be able to have that
real definition of the people upstairs. If they're not sighted,
just pick it up to it mate. That was a
knock on, pull it back.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And when we saw that with the Noel Obasia knock
on for a Brumbies Triversua Tars in Sydney, I think
Okief on the run was like, oh, I might have
got that wrong. Can you check? And as they're playing
on he does. So there's enough downtime for a teammate
to help. So look it is, how long is a
piece of string around? TMO help? And we're always looking
for the right medium between speed of game and really
fatas of results I.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Do want to touch on this before we sort of
go back into who played well for both teams and
what it looks like in terms of Brumbies hopes this year.
Why did no body from the Brumbies step into the
pocket and take a shot at drop goal with a
minute to go? And this isn't on any one person.
This is a team. Aren't you preparing for the said eventuality?
This isn't essentially this is a knockout game a week
(09:03):
early because if you don't finish second, your odds of
winning are so rapidly diminished the title, right, So why there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Was so many chances?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There was no plan, so there was nothing doing.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, it was played for the penalty. Played for the penalty.
If you take the shot with a minute to go,
you're still going to get the ball back. Yeah, you're
still getting the ball back.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
So we got you lose the territory if you yeah,
you lose.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It, you're going to get it back towards the twenty
two correct.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, correct. It's really interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We spoke about on the sideline when it was all
playing out, and I remember saying to Nick that there's
no plan at the moment, that sort of it's a
bit headless. They're trying to go for that try and
they're trying to and then we sort of said, well
they're trying to get that penalty. They're trying to ink
that pedaly out. I go back to my time when
I played, we never had a plan. Bernie Luck and
when he hit that field goal against South Africa, he
(09:53):
was hoping to hit it dead and he just flushed
it down the middle. I then went to England and
played with Johnny Wilkinson and that was just his go to.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
That was his play.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
If we got until the twenty two and we're fluffing about,
he'll just ping a field goal and come away with
three points. We just don't have that. I don't know
where we've got the skill to do it either. Remember
Harrison's field goal against Crusaders last year and he hit
it flush. I don't think we have the technical nouse
to be able to set ourselves up and do it.
I challenged him, if they do have it, come and
(10:22):
tell me they do have it. But I don't reckon
we've got it because we're always trying to score tries
and not come.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Away with points.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's a last resort, it's a last risk.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So they're they're thinking, we're going to attack until we
get penalty advantage or someone makes a great carry, we
get within five meters, then we're going to whack away,
wake away, try and borrow one over. Eventually they thought
there was that space on the edge and look like
Tool holds this ball, but there wasn't much happening out there.
You'd say, with it's tactically smart to get there. But
he holds that ball five meters out with a foard
(10:52):
pack on the front foot, so pretty confident they're going
to score.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh man, just take the three. They snap a shot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
There are guys throughout that I'm saying could easily rip
one off. Yeah, mate, they couldn't have had a better
field position.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
You remember, do you remember I'm going back a few
years now, probably eight years now, nine years Carter was playing.
Was that it was at in Brisbane and they were
down by a couple of points and they end up
getting this is the all Black said. And they ended
up getting the ball and they just marched their way
up the field and Carter had a shot and it
slid by left hand side and they could have won thing.
I think it was a draw that game. Could like
(11:26):
twenty fourteen could have been. But I just thought that's
what people need to do. You've got to understand where
you want to go to and you had to conduct
it rather than perhaps the Noah hit and hope we'll
give it to a bloke who's sort of got some
fast feet on the edge.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So how many times in his whole life as a
footy player would Nola I have had to do that? Yeah,
get in a position to kick a field goal? Does
that semi in Auckland a few years ago where they
had a long range shot less than five and he's
in his twenty something, he's playing rugby as a junior.
You're never doing it never. Yeah, I get all that,
(11:59):
but I'm just saying that we just don't do it.
We don't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
If you want to win and we're agreeing with you,
it may come down to that. I just don't understand
why that wasn't in the kit bag going in.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Anyway, What you end up doing is you just go
hit one side, hit the other side, come back. You
just go and then you put two guys in the
pocket and if you get some sort of quick ball
carry with a block, then you have the lash but
it's an all in.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's an all but it wasn't an all because they
still had time.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You figure that it takes forty five seconds to kick
that drop goal. One you can jam it into touch
two you jam it long like it's a different situation
of being fifteen minutes home.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I'm having a pop. I'm having a pop all day
every day, I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ahead of that, though, they played some great for you
coming back from that halftime. The depisite that Brumbies played
beautiful rubby, which gives me great hope for the back
end of the season, fell as this try the pool
pass I think it was from Bobby v.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, it was just great to see. It's a little
bit of a change up three men forward shape. Instead
of one going out the back, they shift along one
more pat to Valentini, who has the most perfect bloat
you could ever want appearing there. So normally it would
be Frost behind Valentine. So it's a change up on
their shape and it's great to see that it was
with a try.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
But that holding that depth from the outside as well,
there was there were still four players attracting someone and
ikeitel around that great that little line Joe Roff used
to run a line very similar, just appear in a
gap and then he gassed it and was it was
a spectacular try.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Bobby V important in the lead up there.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Bobby V was just massive in the second half in general,
Fellers who else jumped out at you from a Brumby's perspective,
that makes you think, you know what, it's going to
be okay this week against the Canes. He loves the camera.
He would get him every time, every time with it.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I thought, right, Lonigan was good again, you know, just
trying to control around that that base and trying to
control that.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
The play Valentini was was outstanding.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
That two hits in about a minute and a half
and they were just rocking hits and you just know
that you're just going to get all of him when
you're taking the ball.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Up, and I think that was a good shot.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I think they were all pretty good, truthful, especially the
last forty minutes. Brumbies will if they can bottle that
and take that and put that into eighty, they'll be okay.
Don't know about that. That was excellent. The second forty,
first forty they just got beat into the punch. A
couple of times didn't play like themselves. You know, they
scored that early try then it was almost like that
took them down a peg in terms of an enthusiasm,
(14:31):
but just being right on the edge physically what they
needed to be. And then Crusaders of course were good
as well. So it's just a really good game of
footy that went all the way down to the wire
and Crusaders were able to take there.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So they've got the Canes this week.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
This is a rematch earlier this year where the Canes
came to town and were as good as we've seen
them in recent times, beating the Brumbies on that occasion. Well,
the gameplay out the same way.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I know it's Monday, but I'm already so pumped this
coming Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's not just the one through the year. Remember Ardisa
there it was ruled to be held up. Yes, was
that two years back? Ye, Like, there's been some big
games this team Hurricanes Brumbies matchup. It's been a few
of them. Brumbies beat the Canes, so they only want
to beat them in the regular season. Last year there
was those bits and pieces, so there's a bit of
history there. The Brumbies. Being at home is always an
(15:17):
edge and the little lessons from last week will help them.
But any team with cam Royguard playing the way he
is at the moment, they could win the whole thing.
The Canes, they could win this and win the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, I can't wait. It's going to be good. We're
going to build it up all week long. The other
Australian team men who will be competing for the title.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The last of the two sides left, the Queen zam Reids,
who were ruthless in their absolute hammering of the drewer
on a wet night in Brison Lokie Ands and the
man with four tries in that absolute smash up of the.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Drewer fell at Burkie. You can't believe how wet it was.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
It was bucketing down on the way to the ground
all day, all night, wasn't it didn't stop?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Calling it up, called the racers off down the road.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
What did you do beforehand?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I got a lot of study done.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
It's all in the wall.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
He had a quiet afternoon, but you know it didn't
have a quiet afternoon. Locky Anderson, who's just come out
right place, right time. I'm going to get some thoughts
on Locky Andison from one of these team mates later
in the show. But guys, he's just coming on and
on and on. This young man.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I got that chance to score that try against the
war Tars on the bounce a little Night's little titless
prob one sat up for him nicely and he scored
the try.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
We spoke to him after the game.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He's a massive human like he would be six three
six four, And you just think, like when you're out
there and when we're at the pitch there and Mores,
you know, I mean, you're not you're what are you
six two? And you look at these blokes and outside
you're thinking you should be playing background. But he's got speed,
he's got size, he's got strength, and he knows how
to find a tryaline And it's amazing when you just get,
(16:53):
when you just get an opportunity, how much you thrive
and how much you grow. And then obviously with the
guys that are inside in there being able to shift
him the ball and give him to a ball in space,
you know, well done.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It means tick the box every time.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, there's a truth and it's a halfh run. He's
in a better team. He's got better players around him
now that he's come from Melbourne. You know, he did
well down there and obviously took him some time to
just sneak across to the fifteen game again and just
be aware of all the intricacies of his positional play.
But you know, you've got John Campbell that you're working
with in the back line, you're sharing some roles with
(17:26):
Doungoun and you've got Piss Army there in the middle
line is playing. We've got all these great back rollers
playing around you. Quality a player around you really helps that.
I think he was the pick of them on the weekend.
And you forget like Joe Roff, Drew Mitchell and now
Luckie Anderson. They're the most try scored by Australian superb
before just those three, Like it's rare Rolf, Mitchell, Anderson.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
That's a great trivia question.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And I reckon Drew's were against the lines in Sydney
with here four Roth was maybe against the Sharks at
Marnarka Oval.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, that's exactly That's pretty good for me. He's good
intributed to yeah, Macus Spring and Seanjuaane Nui. Of course,
it's called five. That's so one of the five best
individual tryscoring performances in the history of Super rugby is huge.
Think about the finishes we've had in that five years.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
How Josh Flicko returning from injury. We haven't seen him
since round three. He has resigned with Aussie Ruby, which
is a massive, massive result for Queenslan and the broader
game here in Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
How do you play again?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You just talk about, Yeah, it's difficult to come back
after so many weeks off and actually make an impact.
I think for him for this game of the weekend
was more about just doing his role, you know, to
support play, give space to the guys on the outside,
make his tackle. So look, you could say it was
a I think a welcome return for him in that space.
And then obviously when you're looking at when he's talking
about Australian rugby, it's a it's going to be a
(18:49):
beneficial role for having him in amongst it. So look
tick the box they get through. He gets another chance
to impress this weekend as well.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Big minutes. Considering it was a hamstring injury, he put
the foot down for the try one that was probably
the great sign loomed down the right hand, so I
looked for support, said no, okay, Bang, I'm going to
go and reaccelerated hamstring stood up. And what he does
he does the basics well, makes his tackles, communicates well.
Is a good foil at center. They're better for having
him back in the turn.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Speaking of guys in the team doing well, Joe Brile
scores the final try. Now I need I need a kid,
I Eda gen X, a millennial, someone younger than we are,
to explain the pole celebration. So you can't tell me.
Is it Henry Polly? It's both getting and giving it
to him? Is poly the man who started this whole thing?
Was there someone else who started the pole celebration?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Someone explained it to me?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Please, I'm the oldest person on this panel, so morgs,
here we go.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I'm the youngest person on this panel. I know it's Yeah,
I think it's a pretty old It's not Henry Pott
didn't create it? Well, who created it? It's just a
bit of seppo, you know what.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
He should have gone out from game.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, yeah, it would have come out of America like
it was like, I'm is it like I'm still at
my resting heart rate because I'm so.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Cool, I'm so good.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, but he got reverse polls from WW and he
took it for him. It was a good finish for Brill,
who was increasive again. So the Reds take on the
Crusaders this week. I don't even I don't even know
where to start with the draw I don't even think
we need to touch on the drawer.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
They didn't win.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's twenty three, twenty three and out on the road
across the last few years. I just they were close
early on, then they give away an almost an attacking
other card penalty and then that's cooked cooked.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah. Just discipline is the end point. It covers too
much that word. But they just they cannot maintain concentration
on their call roles for the eighty minutes. At the moment,
we thought the Glenn Jackson a lot throughout the year.
He's been upbeat. They trained hard. They're a great group.
They have, you know, issue like like the force, they
travel a lot, those sorts of things. They seem to
(21:00):
deal with it very well. They just get on with
the job. It's a great group of kids and experienced players.
Now first two players to play fifty games for Super
for the draw on the weekend, so they're starting to
find players with experience, but they're just they're just behind
inaccuracy the other teams and it just adds up overseas.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
And then the other night it just didn't. It just didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean, this was the perfect summation of their night,
almost their season. They got so many times they got
inside the posing sides red zone. It kind of vary
almost from fifty try to shove his way past line
out in a touch.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That was kind of the wrap up of the year
for them.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So back to the Red So Crusaders this week Friday night,
Horn's going over to fly the flag for the Sands
Sport team.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It's going to be a beauty. It's going to be
an absolute beauty.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
What do you I mean the speed of play, which
when we spoke to James I a couple of weeks
ago and now after that Tars game, he was talking
about the training methods that they have and and look,
I know I understand all the teams.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Everything's faster and more. Friend Egg.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
We spake on the weekend about that recycle play. The
Crusaders team have this recycled play that is just express
and if you're not ready for it, sort of get
out of the way because someone else is coming to
take your play. So I think the Reds can combat that,
but it's going to be a tough ass for them.
Breakdown is going to be so important for them to
slow it down.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well the other way you said they're going to be
drifted into an out of games. The Reds in twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Some of their twenty minute blocks are irrepressible, just brilliant
rugby to watch, focus, great execution, but they have some
downtimes there. They're probably one of the best teams I've seen.
When they get a line break against them, they are
desperate to get back. They get great numbers behind the ball.
If you see an opposition we are going for the corner,
there's invariably five Reds players scrambling to get back there.
(22:45):
But what they aren't always good at is, you know,
doing it the easy way, which is not allowing the
line break to begin with. They just do have those issues.
It's just where they are at as a team. It's
what's holding them back. And if you have a five
to ten minute period like that in christ Church, it's
lights out.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
It's going to be gone and.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You met the collision.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Collision.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You got to win collisions and you've got to fix
that breakdown. Watch the Brumbies game and watch what the
Crusaders did in the defensive breakdown. If they're able to
do that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
They no way that's allowed to happen this week.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, there can be no way the broader refereeing group
cannot watch that game from last week and allow that
to happen again.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But if you're in a semi.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
If you're the Reds, do you know what, let's kiss
there saying right now. No, we don't wait for the
referee to do it. We do it ourselves. If you're
gonna wait for a referee to do that, you're in
the wrong. You get their first, get their lower, get
their first, be lower, work hard on the ground, win collisions.
Like he's got to say, Reds, we do our job.
Mavroline a referee to clean up our quick ball forward.
(23:40):
It's your job to give us quick.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ball fast, bring back rucking.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
That's one for the other show.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Fellas Blues, the war Retars, the war Tars organization in
South Wales Wroight. We had one one game at Eton
Park in ninety seven years of trying, so the going
in and at ten six you thought maybe the a
rhythm's got this wrong, maybe the tars are going through
and then it just old baby.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
One Dame or ninety seven years.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It should have been too.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You guys got close.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, if Matt Burke wasn't on the piece in an
Ice bas if you read Burkey's.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Autoboger was in Newcastle, listen, it's ten six through thirty
seven minutes of action.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We were watching, obviously from our hotel room in Brizzy Burkey,
what were you thinking at that score line?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Did you think okay?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
There was a bit of okay about it, but there
was a bit of what you take? What did you take?
Three points twice?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You know, you had to you had to score, try
to beat to beat the Blues. You're gonna have to
score tries.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You're gonna get to twenty at least twenty five.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You've got to have something in the bank, you know.
And when they did that just before halftime, I think
it was and about the twenty half minute, I think
they got I think they got their direction wrong. I
don't know who made the decision to go.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Go for the goal.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I know that, you know when you're talking about it,
and we spoke about it briefly on the sideline of
the Brumbies game. You've got to keep the pressure on
if you if you let that pressure valve go, you
just the opposition team goes beautiful, we're out of here.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
We can go territory, we can go pace.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
And then they end up scoring two tries in about
seven minutes, and so I thought that's where they got
a few of the things wrong at.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Ten to seven. Was their hope.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
There was hope, but I don't think they were ever
going to actually overcome this outfit.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Did you think that Teala's try should have stood because
that was rather.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Crucial in the end.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
No, because there was the world's biggest forward pass here whereabouts?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Where there?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
What mate, Jordi Barrett is in front of the player
who's passing the ball.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
So how do you do that? Okay, they messed that
up there.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It doesn't matter where he stands.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
The hand mate.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
That is so forward, so typical Aussie commentator, that.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Many forward passes in this environment, It is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's pretty flat. That's okay, is I record?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Could you.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Let's you cannot be in front.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I can be in front of the I forget about
where bar it is. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Backwards out of the hat, it's nothing, It's.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Only it comes out of the hand.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Be quiet, Be quiet, Not that I had anything with
the game. The war won't go win that game.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
But all I'm seeing each week forward passes. Each week.
We've got to get back to that pub test.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Don't take I tell you what when you tell you
examples to the pub, don't run in with that one
because people say you can we go back.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
To outside you're the crowd.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
What about what about line tackle? Just then? From the
throwing the ball throw at one.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Throat, that was forward, that was for you. Didn't mention
it then, did you? When you're right, you liked it is.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So what do we want now? The shoulder pad, the
shoulder charge on from let's a penalty try.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He wants to get a high five for trying to
try one of the hardest running hooking.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Of course, of course the hint of a rap with
the right army may yeah, actually.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tommy just saw Timmy get drilled. He's like, oh, tom, who.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Was I got to go back to who was who
was the who was the winger for Auckland and the
Blues around my time.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I've got his name now. Was Dougie No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Who was then?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No no no, no.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Winger Joe dear Joel even Deary. There we go.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So we're playing Auckland in Auckland and Matt Dowling was
the winger. I said to he, mate, you got him?
I said, mate, just rush up, and he just had
some have some, had some time. I don't give him time.
Make sure you take his space away and he goes
my record.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
I've got him.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I've got to speak. I just worked the sideline. I said,
please don't and the first play that were double cut,
and it got to him and his shadows shadow shadow,
and just went like what and then.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
And I hit him. I tackle him, I reckon. I
knocked myself out.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I got up. I went, don't even do that. And
there's a few other words in there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Rico Yuani, speaking of finishes, he grabs three on the weekend,
equal the Great Man Doggie Howard's fifty five tries.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
With the Blues.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I do love watching Rico when he's in form. He's
a good watch. Still, there's still a lot of chat
that goes on. He was into Joe Walton after going
over one of those as well.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah you're allowed to though, when when you're scoring allowed
to run for as he looks a bit of gas.
When Calloway chasing down, I thought he was I thought
he was a shoeing for that one there.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, came over. Yeah, well he's getting a little bit older.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yeah, but you're allowed your lad to have chat.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
We all lose all those of you that had it.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Well, yeah, yes he might have lost.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Half a yard, but he's probably gained it up here.
You will you look at.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
That that that short try he did was outstanding. Just understand,
just giving the forwards a bit of a rest and say,
I'll take it up crash over the line.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you throw a lip when you were up big
with tars and wallabies?
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I don't think we're up big with tars or wallabies.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So there's a few times a couple of people copped
it from him from him.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Yeah fullback, No one heard me, no lip, no lip.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I was nil by lip.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I was in the Lippy Blake group.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Every mother in law's favorite neil By Lip, never by lip.
I'll bring him home for dinner. Never no lippy Burkie
che steel he was always he was just shut.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Cheese fee Highlighters forty one, twenty four. I'll keep this
short and sharp because it's the Chiefs who ran away
with you in the Highlanders, as they have done all
season long, put together some terrific moments, really really good moments.
It wasn't enough to get them across the line against Highlanders.
Chiefs take top spot, Highland taped bottom spot. They get
wooden spoon. This was the other big game from the weekend.
(29:51):
Hurricanes Viat Mawana Pacifica everyone's second favorite team, Mawana hah.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
CIFKA got close.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Early and then the Canes just on another year and
this sets us up for the weekend in CARMARTI leads
him out the huge performance again from Anisi scores a
try in that game.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Up against He's our club.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Yeah, heck, this is rockstar, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Well when it comes to just.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Owning the cake tin, I mean his season has been outstanding,
hasn't He's since coming back from Japan, where he dominated.
He was show and Go, Chip and Chase. He was
doing everything over there, and he sort of brought that
bit of flare back again. Ye know, but that that
that seven or old that he does is so on
the ball still and there I mean, there you go.
(30:37):
Welcome home Arty. So you know he not as he
got support from Mowanam. He's got the support from the
Hurricanes as well, and you know, again dominates in a
team that that struggled that night.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But he's just you get thrilled, County.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Can you imagine just thinking back to his time in Japan.
Imagine you're the line worker at suntorys Hungle Life and
your job is putting labels on fancy bottles of whiskey
during the day, and then on the weekend you got
to play. And he said, I just throw yourself at
his feet.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Have you done Japan? Have you done? Have you done
coaching in Japan at all? Mondy coaching in Japan for
a while. Then I'm out there and.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Coacher, Yeah, I think anything you want to week cash.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Week, kicking week, scotty wife, whiskey bottle, that's right. I'm
still waiting for the classics to come through.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
But that's all right.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
And and we did the session with the team and
I went, let's wrap it up, and goes like, no,
we don't go home yet.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
He said that was the professional players. Now the company
players come along and I went, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Then he goes, well, said this guy over here, this
guy here is systems analyst. He's come in and he's
working his way up. He's going really well. And then
he want it to a tight end proper and he
goes he works the boomgate and he will for the
next twenty years. I went, well, up, But he's got
a job. He's in the company and that's what that's
his role. So by the end of the week I
couldn't speak, and because you're yelling out all the instructions,
then it gets interpreted.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And I just said the interpreter, so make can you?
And he's looked at me.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Nup.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I said, you have to do the voice. I could
be saying anything, but you have to be the voice
of reason.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It was good fun, though, I say, what he's good fun.
Getting Monster's macrom absolutely this week it is from this
game the Devon Flanders.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Try say Flanders first, because I'm going to call him
Flanders afterwards. This is my lovely billet, little ball across sorry,
and look at this the little chip and chase out
of the top of the laughter fender from the back roller.
So the Narsenal stript from Reyguard a lovely ball on
the edge. There's a heap of good tries in this one,
but I love a back roller chip and.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Chase Hagard was the passing before the chip, Chase the.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
One that was forward, start yelling cloudy and that was
a forward pass. It's not it's so far forward that
last pass of the inside has to be forward pretty
which that's a gratical Now forward, it's out of the hand,
but he's look backwards out of the hand that he's
so far forward.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Players.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm taking him to roll Ring a golf club on Wednesday.
After that, I'm taking straight over the road to the mall.
We're going to open a sam and we're going to
get those classes looked back.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Film you film, you've got to pass it back, which
you can't pass it there.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
If you know what physics is.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
I know exactly what physics is.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It doesn't matter what he's standing. Only matters with the
ball guy.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Of course, and then went forward.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Fantasy has come to a close, and you're.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Going to be a good referee.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I don't know how you got your aar ticket.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Do you know what how to do?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I took a picture, I sent it to you guys,
and then I end up sending and this gardener what's
the and even he got it wrong?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I right, I did? Was right?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Right? Yeah? There was one more forty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Fully credited as now and.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You'll see me running down the sideline at Stayed Champs
next week in Concord and tweeters.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's awesome, Fellows, fantasyes Cape will clothes this. We've just
captured so many people this year. There was over seventy
thousand players and the winner at the end of it
Callum Brown out of Melbourney. He takes home a ten
grand collect So I just I just want to recap
the numbers to make sure that we're doing this again
(34:17):
next year. Now, there are going to be some tweaks
required for twenty twenty six going forward, and I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
The crew spl will take it on.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
But such a good job that bringing in We had
seventy thousand players, twelve thousand different leagues, four point five
million players ins and outs. The most selective players across
the year was Artist Saville. The most captain player, which
we bring you double points, was the d Mac.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It was just awesome. And a special shout out.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
To my wife Marissa, who took out our little league
as well, all on our own and if this is
the idea behind it, and the reason I use her
as an example is because she watched every minute of
every game that had one of her players in it.
Woman who's in her mid forties, who has not who
(35:00):
doesn't you know, who's not fully hardcore in it, became
hardcore into it because of Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
That's why so well done was already the highest point
score across the season.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Will Jordan was on a run there. I think already
made Carlo Carlo was up there.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Good if you've nailed me with that one. But well
done to everyone who is part of fantasy. And also
for our lunch at co and shep I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
God, no boo, no boo.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Have you heard what he's going to try and do?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Also, I want us to go? Can we go?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It's worse than that, can drop him, can stop him in.
So he wants to try and auction off for lunch.
This is at car for a punner. So the punner
gets to come to our lunch, which would be great,
but he's trying to use the puner's money to pay
for the money he'd have to.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Pay to shout the lunch. Is that play on?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That's maybe we could send it to our managers and
invoice him to offset that.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Some of it's unimportant enough.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Fantasy's done. Time for our post is right?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh yes, we've got to before we can finish with
the fizz and the fireworks and the fun times that
goes with the Golden Post, the award. We need to
recap the weekend gone because this might have a big
impact in terms of two takes our top spot one
points from the weekend gone.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Please, men, what have you got books?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
No longer, so I thought, in trying circumstance, especially in
the first half, he was the pick of the Brumbies.
One clean line break, four or five tackle bus controlled
things as well as he could. It wasn't an easy
night of the office for a ten against that crusader's
rush defense and they went perfect the Brumbies, but no
one was good.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
I've gone the other ten from the Reds.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I've gone Tom Liner and again just controlling and when
you talk about who's.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Scoring the tries, it was on the width there.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
And I think that's one of the one of the
positive things the Reds have been able to do this
year is find some space out on the width there,
and he's been obviously the catalysts being able to do that.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Tami Germot one triggy conditions perfect having enabled Liner to
play well.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Number two points two points.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Tom Hooper tackles and carries huge breakdown entry is huge,
had an excellent season in a tough part of the
field where he lives all the time. Another two points
from me for Tom Hooper.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I like Ryan Lonigan on the weekend you know again
you talk about the middle that the Crusaders had. He
was busy around that that rock area, was trying his
best to clear the ball and create some space.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
He got a couple of runs. I just like the
way he works at nine.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Lockiy Anderson four tries two points. I thought he was
great and has been great for the large chunks of
the year.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Lock Anderson four tries three points.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Whoa when nearly went the jackpot Then Locky Anderson four
tries three.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
WHOA fellas feature Rolf Mitchell Anderson. Yeah, I can't really
can test you, guys, but I had Bobby v's my three.
He's almost got his side home after just hitting the
nitro in that second half. Okay, all right, I'll tell
you what Lockie has put in a late season charge.
I'm going to count him down from fourth through the
top spot.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
You're ready for this.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
In fourth place, equal on fifteen votes, it's the Toms
right in Hooper from the Brummy's work. Knowing that Hooper
was right up there in the MVP voting from our
Broader Super Rugby competition as well.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Third place with sixteen votes a man from the.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
West Carlo Tazano with sixteen ahead of him on twenty
two votes.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
In second place, I missed the.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Tom linerd season yep, Liner all right on twenty nine votes,
clear of Tommy by seven and bringing in the most
votes ever in a season in the long distinguished history of.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
The Golden Post is Fellas.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It is my great pleasure to announce it our Golden
Posting win it for twenty twenty five is Tape McDermott

he's had. Check these highlights, the German find sub room

Speaker 6 (39:16):
On Drue the German getting behind and Flood gets the score.
He's fence, Campbell and field, MacDermott for two. MacDermot taps
and guys himself MacDermot with brilliant feet, MacDermott, Jonson all himself.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, he has been next level through twenty twenty five
and he joins us now all the way from Britain.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
A little boy player, Hello boy, please.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Tape.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
You've represented the country, play World Cups, all the rest
of it.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Where does this accolade sit for you? Now?
Speaker 7 (39:59):
The personal thanks fellas really appreciate it. A little bit
shocked when I got the message from Jimmy, our media manager.
But yeah, Hugh Johnny, look at the two other blocks
that I want to perform me. Yeah, so thank you.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
There's no music then we're we're not going to wrap
you up, so if you want to keep going. And
by the way, I've heard this is like guaranteed selection
for Wallaby is our crew for the other two. We'll
work for the other two exactly right. Taylor's going to
say to you, how this year it's been incredible for
you, You've played incredibly well. Hopefully more to come, obviously, with
the finals happening. Now, what's been the secret of the
(40:39):
Red success this year?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah, a lot of it's been down for less team
and just how they've brought through our next kind of
tier of depth. You know, we've been tested a little
bit this year with injuries, but the way we recruited
in the off season and the way that key guys
have played. You look at how much Tommy Line has
grown in that jersey and you know, tanza and accrusion
a really important part of the part of our system.
(41:04):
You know, the way we want to play, We've play
with a lot with and you know, it tends to
take control. And the way Tommy's developed as a player's
been a huge catalyst for the way we've kind of
developed as a team. And not only Tommy.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
You see guys like Dre Pacio has had a great.
Speaker 7 (41:18):
Season, you know in the center's both at twelve and thirteen,
Joe Browle just just to name a couple. So just
how quickly those guys have developed in the hot seat
has been really impressive and you know, has helped us massively.
Speaker 5 (41:31):
Throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Technically. Turn our attention, of course to this weekend. You
go to christ Church your Friday Night James O'Connor on
the side, you've got history of doing some good things
in Cross Church recently. What's the approach.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
Yeah, we got to we've got to do the basics
for mate. Obviously, we know the Cross The Crusaders are
a fantastic side, all blocks right across the park, so
we've got to have our focus on the ball. We've
got to make sure last time we played them, we
gave up possession way too easy. Big ranks of us
of our game the last couple of weeks has been
just how well we've competed in the air for our kicks.
(42:06):
And with the weather prediction coming that's that's going to
be important as well. So when we choose to give
them the ball, we're going to make it hopefully contest
and yeah, put them under pressure. So yeah, we've go
to we just got to make sure we do the
fundamentals well, we've got to make our tackles. I thought
our defense on the weekend was it was a great
starting point for where we need to go this weekend
of this Friday, and yeah, we're excited for the challenge.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Maybe he's had a word to the referee, but the
ruling of knock ons, mate, you might you might want
to give me all the tip if that goes forward.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
It's a it's a knock on.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
No com no come ahead, good boy.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Question for you Lockie and listen.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Right, So we've been obviously finding this guy really closely.
Was he sevens level then at the Rebels and he
has just come on massive in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Five with your blokes.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
What's been the key to Locke hitting that next level
and then looking like maybe go a little bit further
as well?
Speaker 5 (43:02):
Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
So, like you said, of lucky enough to play sevens
with Endo and the plaary was then to the player
is today's you know, his journey has been unreal and
you even look at how far he'd come in twelve months,
he's been absolutely you know, he's touch and go whether
he was in now starting twenty three at the start
of the year and he's absolutely cemenity spot and he's
(43:25):
been one of our best weekend week out and four
trials on the weekend you know something no other corns
and read in the rugby ere anyways, that's done.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
So it's yeah, really.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
Happy for him. He's worked hard, he's come into a
system where he's had to work hard and his rugby
IQ's improved as well, and that's health his game massively.
He suits the way we want to play. He's taugh,
he's abrasive and it's quick and they're all things that
we needed from our backs. And you know, he's come
in and been probably our best back to the honest
week and week.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Out, we could agree, well, that's a sure bump. Some
bruises from the weekend. The most worrying post much seemed
to be Harry Wilson. How's he tracking?
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Yeah, I think he's I haven't actually seen him where.
We're all kind of coming in at different times today,
but all the reports there is that he's good. So
might a little little bruise in a similar era, but nothing,
nothing to sweat on, so we're expecting he'll be.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
All the Bruce Bruce, Bruce Bruce, He'll be good to go.
Hey Tady, well done again mate on your golden Posty Award.

for a couple of key rings for you and Fraser,
so that you can open up certain doors that others

Speaker 7 (44:46):
