Speaker 1 (00:12):
I heard podcasts, year more kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the free iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Robin and Kiff Now with Correo, it's to the podcast
Good Day, huge win for the Broncos yesterday afternoon down
in Canberra. You were there, Cory. So the Broncos charter
flights for a game like.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
That, No, it was very last last minute. I think
Madge asked asked the club if you get some fans
down there, because it's it's very it's a very vocal crowd,
the Raiders crowd, and yeah, to be honest, that would
have been so cool playing in Canberra and seeing that
Broncos crowd. So there was two chartered flights in the

(01:04):
end over two hundred, three hundred and fifty people fans.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
So it just went out to the fan, the real
die hard fans, and hey, if you pay this amount
of money, that's so cool. I just thought I thought
that was the thing they did all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, no, no, that was that was something that mad
asked for. And both planes sold.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Out in a heartbeat.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, like ridiculously quick. So they had to upgrade one
of our planes because more people wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
To get a bigger plum to do it. Yeah, and yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Three hundred and fifty supporters went down and and you
and and there's about six or seven old players.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, I saw Sammy Thid a Petro similar. Alex was
Alex Glenn, Alfie Glen, Alex Laan was looking after you,
by the way, because you went to Camberro, one of
the coldest places on the planet.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, obviously going off to Canberra, right, I got my
Bronco's papa down here and Choreos decides.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Not to bring a jumper.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
We're going to Camberra.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Still looking after you. Jeez, it's quite jump.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
It was.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
It felt like eleven degrees at four in the afternoon
in Canberra. It was freezing. It was remember.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Anyway, what a magic win, What a magic win to
the Broncos. There was so much controversy in the game,
including a sendoff and this is a concerning one for
a possible suspension, because Reese Walsh and Hudson Young went
head to head and Reese Walsh did what looked like
a headbut this is the sendoff moment for both of them.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Look at this. This is a little meat here than usual.
Careful Ree careful rees and then the shot that's the
shot from tarpany but.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Not least you're gonna go to the bit for ten
minutes what he taken you off?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Face head, But you have to consort, you're in.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Your show.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So there's plenty of camera fans blowing up about Hudson
Young getting sent off because he he bumped, he bumped
and he yelled, but then the retribution was ahead butt.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I love this because you know what, it's a rule.
The rules been set all year. This has happened a
couple of times this year where the guy that what's
the word, he'll start against the instigator. If an instigator
comes in after a play and start something gone. It's
happened all year, right, and then if the person retaliates,
gone too, But the penalty goes to the person that

(03:28):
instigated it because he doesn't retaliate if that instigator doesn't
come in. That's the rule.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
What happens with somebody headbuts though, are they generally suspended?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I believe it's it's usually a fine, I believe, not
a suspension because of the instigator. If if that's out
of nothing, I believe he would have been suspending as
in if no one walked up if instigated and did
the headbut he's probably no chance playing the rest of
the year. But I truly believe he'll probably just get

(03:59):
it fine because it was instigated.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
All of that was to start.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
He was yeah. After that, he came back with fifteen
minutes ago after being in the bin and just just
took the game by the scruff of the neck. It
was just an unbelievable finish. And there was a moment
though Cambell won the game twice. They want it in
regular time and then they wanted again an extra time.
Here's the moment they won it an extra time with
a with a try.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
It's not going to be easy, Poski. You might have
touched a little picky the left, the right picky.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Again. So here's the right figure of Jedd Stewart first,
then the hand of Josiah's all boy.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Scored and it's the first knock on WI the camera.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's never easy.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, they were hugging in the stadiums, the raiders.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Just tell me what happened. It was full time, we
were twenty eight, all yep, And then it went into
five minutes either way, and then it was still twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
All no, Well, then they scored it. Then they scored
a try. At the end of that try, try that try,
they're hugging Ricky's going off of the coach, Ricky Stewart,
everyone's the players are hugging the crowd or all of
them in embrace, and then they send it up to
the bunker. It's disallowed and we're going into Golden point.
And golden point is where Ben Hunt, our champion, has

(05:23):
done this to win the game.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Ben Haney's got one field goal his career. He kicks it.
It's long, just.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
A moment, I know, But how many times did the
ball hit the posts? I mean, there's this big area
to get the ball through and it hit the post
three times.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
As hard to kick.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
That is the first game I have seen all the
way through since yeah right, because I couldn't leave the telly.
So the upshot of it is the Broncos

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Of one, Broncos of one in an incredible nail Bida
