Down to the Jonesy demand of arms for the pub
test today, Panthers resting most of their team against the
Bulldogs does it pass the pub.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Time or resting sixteen players that bench the whole thing.
All those big players will be watching the game from
the stands. The Panthers aren't going to make the top four,
so they've made the decision to rest their big players,
their healthy big players, for risk of injury.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I'm assuming Patrick Delaney, whose head of Foxtel, has said
that he's disappointed.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Of course he would be because he's wanting about the viewership,
but he said that the NRL owes it to fans
to put out your best team.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Patrick, I'll say to you, don't worry.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I'll be watching it.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I wouldn't have watched this game otherwise. But you're going
to see all these guys. There's a few debuts tonight
playing on this game.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's going to be great.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
You got Phillips and Zach Lippowitz. They're making their debuts
in the States. Well, I imagine the day in twenty
years time, when you go, I remember when that kid
when he may when Billy made his debut or Zach
made his debut, that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, interestingly, in the States, the NBA the basketball had
a similar issue a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So that's NBA.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So let me just explain what they do. This is
an but the philosophy of this is interesting. They have
implemented a player participation policy. Under these guidelines, teams have
to get approval to rest healthy star players, and you
can't rest a batch of them at once.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Everyone is going to be watching this game tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, Panthers resting most of their team against the Bulldogs.
Does it pass the pub test? Oh that's for me,
wrapping yourselves up in cotton all ready for at the
business end of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Passes for the.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Game to the game. If you're watching a game, whether
it's the a listener for everyone knows the Love or
it's the b Listers who everyone has to get to
know and love. It's sixteen then one team, one game,
so you're not going to make the first fall and
it's a good chance to give the boot team some
good experience for next year. Slightly, it does I won
a five p so yes please, And if it was

(02:09):
any other team like Canberra there would be no problem.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's the factor that's the penra.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
I agree with Josie. I love to say the up
and coming young place give it a crack. I think
it's good.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, what about you know Bulldog's legend Steve Price. Riley
Price is making his days.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh wow, that's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You know Steve Price who was with the Bulldogs. His
son is going up against them. You can't write this
stuff

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, Well, I look forward to seeing what happens tonight.
