Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now it was around this time yesterday that there
(00:03):
were rumblings and reports unconfirmed around Raiders star Jamal Fogery
accepting the offer, the three year off of millions of dollars.
Good for him and his family going up the road
to play for the Manly Seagulls. And we knew that
there was talks, you know, with the Raiders to match
offers to a point, but it seemed like Manley kept
(00:24):
adding a year, adding a year, and at a certain point,
I guess you've got to make a decision.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You wouldn't have slept for days, I.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Imagine, no, And it gets too good to refuse at
some point, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, so we're lucky. Hudson Young on the way to training.
Is this the first you're hearing of this?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Yeah, no, it's really I'm really happy for Jamal and
his family. He's been a big part of the club
for many years now in the community here. But yeah,
like you said, it's an offer that he couldn't refuse,
and really happy for him.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So what happens on a day like yesterday at the club?
I assume there was training and you were there, and
so does Rick speak to the guys, does Jamal say
anything or is it one of those ones where they go, listen,
wait until we put an official press release aut which
I'm not even sure we've seen just yet.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
What was the vibe like? What was How does it
managed yesterday?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah? No, it's more between Marlon and Sticky. We just
sort of just go about our business and the rest
just sort of takes care of itself. And being prepared
really well for the match up on Sunday against Melbourne sail.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
When you're winning, you know everyone's when you're riding high.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I mean, the vibe must be fantastic, particularly because and listen,
as Cam bro Thiss happened season after season, we're never
given the chance perhaps that we deserve, but certainly this
season you're talking about for the radar, the vibe must
be fantastic.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, vibes really high at the moment. We spoke about
that all pre season. Is just staying in our little
world down here in Canberra and doing our own thing
and got such great young boys that are all whine
in and everyone's head in the direction and hopefully just
keep it rolling.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It hasn't gotten as cold after Insac Day, is it
normally wood or as we would expect it to be.
Yet is that a good thing for you guys, or
is it something that you actually trained for, Like do
you sit in the freezers and get ready for winter?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Or we've been playing in Darwin and towns so the
freezer wouldn't have been too bad. But it's actually been all
right the weather so far, so fingers crossed. It stays
a little bit warm for longer.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's funny when we see other teams show up here,
certainly deeper we get into winter, and you've never seen
jackets like.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It, Like I've never I'm in jacket, I promise you.
I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I've seen some teams with what is essentially a puffer
jacket trench coat, so it actually goes down to their
ankles and they stand on the side. But it is
a home ground advantage of sorts. You're in the shorts
this morning. I mean, I'm in the shorts. It's not
that cold ten degrees how long until you put the
TRACKI docks on.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I try and say I'm a shorts man, so I
stay shorts all year round. I just don't like trying
in the in the truck in the long playing over
Joe minus whatever. Every time we play over there, it's
way colder.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But it's an advantage, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Because I know when I lived in towns Hall and
I visited training at the Cowboys once, and you know,
you got the humidity and it's hot, there's all that
going on, and they would the strength and conditioning bloke
up there was notorious once it got to the height
of you know, certainly strength and conditioning training, right fans,
air conditioners off, guys, we're deep into the second half
(03:29):
and this is what it's like now we push and
so that is their home ground advantage. They would train
when it was hot and make it as hot as
humanly possible.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well it's the reverse here for us.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, one undred percent. I think it actually well, let's
hope it works, but yeah, n I think you actually
do get used to it. Like for the boys that
come down in Canberra for their first time, they are
always saying how cold it is, and then the second
time around they're starting to get used to it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
How you produce the Chelsea's from Perth.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
She's never experienced zero degrees, Chelsea, going to put your
mic on in your little zone there, can you hear us?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Then?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, I can there we go. You have been here
how long? What a month? Over a month?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, just over a month.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You've acclimatized, right, I.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Said that I did. I'm used to the ten degrees,
but any lower than ten degrees, I think it's a
bit much.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Alright, it's expin.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's exciting to have the puffa jacket trench coat.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, it'll be in the other club colors.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't know if we if we have a puffa
jacket trench coat in the in the merchant rang.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Doing big puffa jacket a trench coat.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, we definitely have the Oh no, well, I saw
rate a Nick one day coming in like the bomber
jacket with the leather sleeves. It was really beautiful. But
I don't know if they sell that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Maybe that was.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Do you see rating Nick around the club sporting all
the merchandise before you, as players actually get to see
it or get it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I'll see him after every game because he's been calling
the game on the roll.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
He's doing it for triple M.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
He's always kidded up.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Always all right, we get to close the round where
against Melbourne. It's a funny season And I heard I
can't remember anyone could have said it at the moment
the way the competition's shaping up. And I'll give you
an indication, I'm not a very good tipper. I'm coming
second in the comp and the guy who won last
year is coming last. And so I think that really
(05:19):
highlights this is anyone's game at the moment.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
It is one hundred percent. It is, And we spoke
about that all off season. Is putting ourselves in the
best possible picture, come in then final rounds and still
only really early in the season, but sitting in the
top four at the moment is somewhere we want to stay.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Just really quickly before we let you go. We spoke
yesterday about the State of Origin and how the NLW
first round game, first game of the entire season, is
State of Origin, and the women are actually really stressed
about that because they haven't played any round matches before
they get to it. Would that be something that would
really make you struggle going straight into State of Origin,
(05:59):
the biggest game of the day year before starting a season.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, I think it would be really tough. Obviously, match
fitness takes around a month to get your match fitness
to the highest level. So it'd be really hard for them.
Girls coming in and playing at the highest level for
their first game of the season will be tough.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Smart point, Well, let's talk about adjusting the start time
of the season. It won't happened this year, but obviously
needs to be given some attention. Congratulations mate, you're flying.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Great to see. We've got to be a training in
a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, off the train, shut up, We'll let you go
and we'll see the Green machine on the park against
the storm on the Telly Sunday, Eve
