Speaker 1 (00:00):
Massive week of footy money the NROL Grand Final seven
thirty Sunday nights on nine Live and Free. He was
on at the dally Ms last night and he's Marion Jacket.
Adam Jackson in camp with the Broncos. Good morning, Yeah,
good morning guys.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
How's it going. It wasn't a late night for me.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I got out of there pretty early. Sometimes there's a
woodman's getting drag out. But yeah, great to see the
gliding gamer on the red carpet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I had my myr.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Own jacket representing Queensland down there at that black tie,
and I copped a bit for not wearing a black jacket.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Rely, Yeah, I thought you looked pretty good in the Maria.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, queenslanduntil the day I die.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Now, James Tedesco last night we had a lot of critics,
load of doubts last couple of years, so I guess
to be back on this stage winning this medal as
a proud achievement for myself.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I'm really yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I just humbled to be up here and see this
water alongside He's the Delian Player of the Year. Good
effort for James.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
What are your thoughts? Yeah, outstanding effort as you mentioned
that a few people wrote him off the last couple
of years, just getting better with agents. The Bruisters as
the record winning margin, so he finished on sixty seven votes.
The next best was Nathan Clear on forty five, so
twenty two vote winning margin there and then.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
A couple of Queensland based players just off the pace
though tite Bird was Izzy Cartoa, the Dolphins half back,
and Payne Heart he was the best place Broncos forty
four points and then back to guys like Blake Brayley
from the Sharks and Tommy did in our.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Queensland State of Origin and Player of the Year. But
there was also a couple of Broncos who won individual awards.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Payne hearts, we all know he's the best prop forward
in the game.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That was officially recognized last year last night.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Rather with that awards and Cantoni Staggs, I think he's
been one of the unsung heroes in the Broncos charts
to the Grand Ply he was named joint Center of
the Year with Stephen Crichton from the Bulldogs.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah no, he's had a great season still to come.
Let's maype he has a big night on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Now there was a bit of controversy though Julia Robinson.
People are saying she couldn't hide her displeasure she was
robbed of the highest individual honor there as well.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, here's what went down. Amika Upton.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Three points.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, your nerl W Daly and Player
of the Year is Amka Upton.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, how did that all get a win?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, that was a weird one given how close they
were voting Amika Upton and Julia Robertson. And the strange
part of that is there really good mate to their
Broncos teammates.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So it was an unfortunate situation.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
For Julie Robinson, but a win win situation for the
Broncos with yet a Meeka Upton narrowly as you now
Julia Robinson, who they'll team up in that Nerl's Grand
Final on Sunday afternoon as well.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So it's a big weekend for the Broncos. They collect
that nl W Player of the Year and potentially could
get two premierships on the same afternoon on Sunday, and almost.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You can add a third too, because you've got that
nl State Championship game which kicks off nine coverage. Burly
Bears are a feeder clubs to the Broncos, so it's
never been done before. The one club to win all
three grades on NROL Grand Final day with this new configuration,
So good luck, huge, but yeah, disappointing situation with that.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
And yeah, well they were saying that, you know, she
was rested and if she hadn't been rested that week
before that, maybe it would have been okay. But yeah,
it look, what do you do. It's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, and quickly, Adam Sunday nights, you know you're in
camp at the moment with the Broncos down in Sydney,
has it or looking for them?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, they look quite relaxed when I saw a few
of them yesterday afternoon, say they haven't arrived.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
In the afternoon they headed to the Salienza, saw Cotony Stags.
Adam Reynolds paying hearts was there. I think what helps
Brisbane a lot is the twenty twenty three experience. That was,
you know, first Grand Final for a lot of those players.
We don't need to go over how heartbreaking that finish
was against the Panthers, but they say often you need
to lose one to win one, and I think they'll
really benefit from that and having experienced guys around them
(03:49):
like Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Ben Hunt, to me is the magical fairy tale story.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Can you imagine a decade on from you know, being
unfairly blamed for costing the Broncos that premiership against the
town Boys mentioning the redemption story. If he wins on
Sunday Night, I would just be so happy for Ben
Hunt hundred.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're gonna have to leave it there, mate, Thank you,
thank you, thanks. That's what people are talking about. The
NRL Grand Final Live and free Sunday Night, seven thirty
on nine
