NRL Grand Final action the women's and the men's. We
bought both trophies home and joining us from nine News
and Sport is Adam Jackson. How are you, Adam.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm still a bit tired. It's been a really long weekend, yeah,
towering all the footy action down in Sydney. I came
back yesterday and didn't stop. We saw those great scenes
on nine News last night with players welcome back to stadium.
The party that just keeps on going for Bridgebane off
the back of the line. So we should rename Brisbane
Title here because we've won every title.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well that's it very much.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We've got all the all the cups in the trophy
cabinet now money, which is just fantastic. And what a
weekend it was mate. I saw you there in your
maroone jacket in the dressing rooms and you're proudly waving
the Queensland flag down that way. And mate, what a
game on both counts for the women and the men.
You know, it was incredible watching the when watching the
ladies against the Roosters. We've got Ali Briggan Shaw, Angelom
(00:55):
Suicoe from Ipswich in the team. We're so excited for
those two So what a weekend?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Definitely, yeah, for both games to end in such thrilling
fashion down there on ground level watching the women's game.
And I spoke to Ali Briginshaw yesterday at that fan
day and I said, any still to retirement, you're going
to go around again? She reckons next year will be
her last year. Show she'll have one more year try
and win some extra silverware. But also to Tamika up
(01:23):
In the fullback who's came back from the originally at
the Broncos and Knights came back. She's now won five
Premierships in eight years, Like, that's phenomenal. She's Willaitarily up
there is the greatest player in the women's game. And yeah,
then that was an amazing game. Then you got the
men's game that even took it to the next level. Yeah,
and how about a similar storyline for the Broncos man
(01:44):
like down boy, think if your margins of the Raiders
come back and with Down against the Panthers, nobody comes
back from behind, Pendrithy wentz do that and then they
do it to an Albourne storm. It's like the same
script that worked every time. And yeah, for Reese Woltz
to do what he did, because since that will go
down forever and erl focal it's one of the greatest
ever Grand Final performances.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh for sure. Now you were in the dressing room,
I mean, what is it like when you when a
team wins like that, and obviously, as we've just said,
an amazing comeback, what was the energy like would have
been absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Definitely. I always say to people there's no better feeling
than being in a winning Grand Final or Origin dressing room,
and there's no worse feeling than being in a losing
Origin or Grand Piles dresserroom. But in the dressing room
there was a lot of They have those ski masks
on to protect themselves from when they spray the champagne.
Champagne going in your eyes, so you've seen it with
(02:38):
a speA mask. That's why they've got it. They had
the to guard yet, so it was actually very smoky.
When we first moved, I walked into the crocoss training
groups because it's such a confined space, a lot of
people there and they had the big cigars out there,
and just amazing scene seeing some of the family behind
the scenes Refolsh's dad there. We had a special moment
too with Kobe heathing to a his dad Jason, who
(02:59):
was premiership winner thirty years ago for the Bulldogs almost
to the day, so you know, really special. And you
know talking to Corey Paige so had a really bad
back injury, struggled to walk a couple weeks ago, but
forget to see him to get Grand Final is amazing.
And the Ben Hunt story also, you know, people could
finally get off Ben Hunts back. He made a mistake
(03:20):
because in twenty fifteen, but now he's well and truly
redeemed himself and you know he will forever be a
promcos legend like he should be deserved to be. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Absolutely, and what a game. I just I couldn't believe it.
We were ecstatic. You might have seen the video.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yes, yes, everyone was the same. Everyone was the same.
You can't help but it was amazing and to come
back like that. Towards the end of the.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Time, I saw I saw Pat Penny on the on
the news report with yesterday when they were coming back
at the airport, and I know that he had had
a few beers with my son watching the game before.
So everyone was having a great time yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I think a lot of people in Brisbane were a
bit dusty yesterday, so it was really good that it
was a public holiday and he should have the premier now.
I was talking to him, yeah backstage, he looked, Yeah,
I ask you if we could have an official public
holiday to celebrate the broncast success going forward. But now
the big debate too becomes the stadium and they wanted
to Adam Reboks his victory speech, but looks as though
(04:16):
that potentially could add him may be ten to twelve
thousand more seats in Unklep Stadium as we went towards
the Olympics, So I think that could be a big
bonus for everyone in Southeast Queens and then off the
back of the Broncos success and becoming even more popular.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah one d now mate, before you do go, We've
we've had a bit of conjecture over what Reese. He
was showing his ring on a TikTok video. It's gone
on all the socials and he was talking about roast beef.
Is it a new saying? Do you know anything about
what's happening there? No one knows.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I think yeah, I might be too old. I'm not
young and cool enough. The younger is I minus to
out your son Campo worst.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Today young, But I'm concerned it might be something we
might just need to leave alone. I'm not sure. I'm thinking, yeah,
we probably haven't a laughing they're actually talking about that,
I think anyway, that's just my feeling it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, prolific on social media, very so well, So I
think the entertainment won't end with him. He's a massive showman.
So if you follow him on social media the next
few days, I think he's going to be more and
more entertaining. Yeah, you're getting seen make his thea boot
for Australia. So he's one in four players like that.
Kangaroos tour. Over the next month, I go to Ashes.
(05:37):
Ironically they reite with Keevy Walters who's the Kangaroos coach,
the former Broncos coach. Yeah, and Reese Walsh at k
Tony Stakes, Patty Carrigan and get Sugar Starkey. What a story.
He didn't even have an enter a club this time
last year, He's played Origin, he's won a Grand Piland.
Now he's going to play for the Kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, and then what a player is? So I thought
he had a phenomenal game on the weekend. Mate, Thank
