Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jalen Dgrue, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, good morning, How are you good?

Speaker 3 (00:03):
What a big week for you this week? Big announcements
that you could be. You're heading off to Vegas, which
is exciting.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, for sure, and then the whole club's pretty excited
about all the boys are pretty staked too.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Have all your girlfriends said, oh wait, no coming back
with a face tattoo?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah? Probably, they'll probably all probably want to come.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Now, keep tabs on you, keep your teeth, keep your integrity.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, you need to practice with like baby strapped to
the front of you.

Speaker 5 (00:32):
Can see some training with little baby Vieawn's on the
front of you.

Speaker 6 (00:36):
Well, you're trying to tackle at the same time.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now, Jayleen, you're another fallback at the club.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
You're playing in the centers, of course, but how are
you finding playing in the centers and not in your
preferred position like three other people.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's been good. I've had I've had the whole pre
season there to kind of get my head around that
kind of new position. And I still when I go
back to reserve dating Queensland Holp, I still play full
back there. So just getting my head around playing centers.
I'm just getting more confidence the more weeks that I
get there. So I'm just pretty excited to be able
to get back into the team with the boys and
be able to head down to Manly with him. To

(01:12):
be honest, how do you.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Feel about your name being a great Australian colloquialism.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, look, to be honest, I can't help that. Unfortunately,
that's just the name I have. But if people are smart,
if people are smart enough to get one of those out,
then that's good on them, to be honest, But your.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
Nickname is not naughty. It's it's grousey.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Is that right? Yeah? Grouse That's yeah, that's that's what
they call me.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
And is it because you use the word grouse so much?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Or just one day one of the boys, Brimmer, He's like, oh,
he goes, anybody called you the grouse here, I said,
to be honest, so it just went from group to
the grouse to just grouse.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Now to sir, I love, I love it makes Australian sports,
wouldn't he like?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah? Now?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Also, this is something cute about you as we get
to know you.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
You had a bird called Greg.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah. Well, when I was young, I was a Titans fan.
I'd always go to the Titans game. So when Greg
birders at the Titans, he was my favorite player, and
then mum bought a burden I was. I was adamant
that it had to be called Greg because he was
my favorite player. And then now I've told that story,
I won't live it down. I still get reminded out

(02:30):
of the training sometimes.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Have you met Greg since now?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
