Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Robin Kid and Coyotes in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Come on, let's talk about spots, babe. Let's say about
t let's s about all the balls and all the
bats on TV. Let's talk about spots.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Let's talk about sports. Okay, sure, if we wrap it
up in a little salt and pepper, is a little
bit more easy to pallet.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
That happened when I was away, right, Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Okay, So, so pain I got this text message from
from VJ and Toby my mates. You know, we've got
a chat that's just called Broncos Debrief, and so Vj's
in this at one twenty three yesterday the story about
Pain hears maybe leaving the Broncos at the end of
the year. Toby responds F A A A R K VJ.

(00:52):
Hopefully it's bs. And then as we go on through
the afternoon, it's confirmed by the Broncos that pain Hess
will not be a Bronco at the end of the year,
and that he's going to South to his old mate
Wayne Bennett. Yeah. That surprises me, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Not? Not? Not that is he's going to Wayne. I
think every player when you have some sort of dealing
with Wayne, there's always a soft spot to go back,
you know, or if you get the opportunity, you know,
you're going to take it, especially if it's the best
one on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
For Pain, it's sad. It's really as sad. I think
only just spoke about him staying at the club.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know, how old is he?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
He's twenty seven, Like he's been around for a really
long time. Yeah, debut eighteen, but when he was eighteen
it was the same size he is.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Now. Where do you rate him as far as forwards
in the game, like in throughout history, not even just now,
but like compared to other forwards.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, he's top five really easily the Broncos in the
history of the game. Yeah, he's top five easily. And
it's it's just purely true. You know, he's a physical freak,
but his attitude, you know, the last five years, you know,
he's just the way he trains and he's just growing

(02:09):
to a professional athlete. And he's done that at a
younger age than most people do. Like I feel like
they're doing that now more. But Pain's just been that
great of a player. He's played one hundred and forty two.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
RL games and in that time for the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, but in that time, he's done what he's done, like,
he's one of the scariest men in the game. He's played.
I don't know how many like he would have done
fifteen origins probably already, you know, eighteen maybe more.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, that's he's twenty six by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I played all those you know, played all these national games.
He's done so much in the game already.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
But then my question remains, why the Broncos letting him go.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, I believe they just couldn't afford to keep him money.
And I think it's sad. I really do think it's sad.
But these things happen. But I just you know, I
would have loved to have seen him. But I love Pain,
you know, I wish him all the best, him and
his family. I know he would have done it for
his family.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I know he's got quite an extraordinary story. He's got
sole custody of his siblings, yea of his younger brothers,
so they're all moving to Sydney by the guess.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
They would like you know, and and but but Pain
would be doing all this for them, And that's why
I love him. His death, I wish him all the
best but we got the rest of the year with
him still. Yes, so cherish cherish the next twelve months
Bronco supporters, But you know, because then we're also probably
well most likely by the sounds, that we're going to be,
you know, losing Reno.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
So you know, because he's yeah, so this year and
they're not for a really long time.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
This I just think has done what he came here
to do. He came here and said he wanted to
bring a premiership and he's done that and he's delivered.
And now he gets, you know, if this is it,
he gets to go out on his own terms. It's
and I always said, making a decision now it's so

(04:02):
much easier. For the rest of the year, you can
just enjoy it, have a great time with your mates,
and you know, you go out and know that you
had the best time in your life for the last
twelve months of your career.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
So
