and say, oh, Italy are the world champions at you know, volleyball.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Basketball, basketball, they're playing but or the European Chair, European
champions and the thorn, the thorn in the Olympia Course.
So they beat them in last year's final and of
course in the second semi final in Nicola. But I think,
of course playing the big spending Monarca team. Every year
(04:47):
they got a new team, those blogs, and I think
I think we might have a team in the in
the finals.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Man, So let's not forget. In Australia have progressed through
the knocking out stages of the Tasmanian Wolf throwing competition.
Speaker 5 (05:03):

Oly Olympia Course won the Great Championship in soccer like that.
They will crown champions this week.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah are you a fan? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Absolutely, Well maybe you went for I don't know, never
made white the White.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
You know, we're feeling a bit disillusioned with league. If
we're talking about this stuff at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
People, how many people have switched off already. Have you
ever talked some footy.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Nikka, what's what's in? What's in?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
A something different this week than a real bunker? You're
right this way kidding. This is the worst weekend of saying.
This is the worst weekend of saying, like, seriously, it
just got magic round, became tragic round. It got worse
by the day. Some of those calls starting with paramattas
(06:02):
one the guy who was airborne and upside down and
lender on his head and was penalized for it. Mister
Moses getting hit off the ball but no symbian. Some
of the other games again then I you know, during
the week they came out about the week before and
said Cronulla got ripped off against the Tigers because they
should have got a penalty and gold the point because
(06:24):
the chargedown wasn't square you had. I don't know, I
have to look back on Fox, but there were some
howls over the weekend, absolute howls in some of those games.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
They're not good, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Just before you came on, I shared George. I don't
know if you watch the Champions League this morning, but
I shared, George, there was a penalty I said, this
is how it's done in soccer. I showed him the footage.
The referee runs to the sideline, looks at the TV,
watches the replay, makes a care happens in thirty seconds.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
No, no bunker, bullshit, a TV on the side of
the field.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Know you've told me before how it works. If I've
now seen it, I love it. I love it the best.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I also showed him an example of an offside being
given where they use the digital line yep, and said,
why can't we use that with forward passes? It's simple
or quick, even.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
That they had for magic ground. Why can't we just
have that all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, even even like.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It's the spot the Spider camp sort the Spider camp.
Apparently it's really expensive to put in every ground.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, but even you know what, even if we remove
technology altogether, like with the forward past, most of us,
you know, fans usually see things the way they want
to see them. But for the most part, we can
all see an obvious forward pass. We see the same
dummy half every week, right, Why can't they just say,
you know, go to the bunker. If it's obvious to them,
(07:51):
they'll make a ruling. If not they'll send it back
to ref's call, which is what's happening anyway. So you
can just apply a little bit of logic and at
least eliminate half of you know.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Money is very money is very like. He's very clue
with n r L. But he watched all the replays
because he came back to mine on Monday, even he
watched that Power Game and all the other games and
he was like he could see it completely without even
knowing all the rules. And he's nine, you know, he
(08:26):
could make the correct call. It's not actually that hard.
I just we're talking about it before Adie, I didn't
realize that the NRL like class action is still going on,
So it makes sense why a lot of it's motivated by,
you know, the outcome of this potential class action. It
has been two years, but it's just right.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Which class in England the rugby union one.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Actually it's going to go and when he goes, it's
going to be in favor of the players and the
rugby in England is chitting their pants. Basically, it's going
to be a big conversation. It's going to be really
big payoffs.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
In the Warriors Cowboys game. Sorry, there you go in
the in the Warriors Cowboys game where the Cowboys almost
came back, Warriors scored a try where didn't was tackled
without the ball.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Yeah, and no one, no one nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
How did it happened that many times over the weekend?
It was shameful, honestly, you know it respectfully.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Like I was watching the I was saying, Adi before
I watched the nineteen ninety seven Broncos Grand Final with
the Sharks, and I was watching it with Manny, and
Manny went was shocked that the ref wasn't calling out
every single like coat hanger that was happening.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But wasn't it a better game?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Team?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Wasn't it a better game to watch?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
It's such a better game. And also it was faster,
it was less injuries like everything else. Yeah, but the
calls were fair, like they were completely fair, whereas now
we're going bunker, we're going ref, We're going.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I remind me, was it was that when they had
to ref on the field? Was it one?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I think it was only one. You guys need to
watch it on the weekend, like it's so yeah, son,
it was like Jersey's.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I'm not suggesting for a second that the Sharks didn't
deserve to win the game because they did. I'm just
saying we could do without these frustrating calls, that's all
I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I got so mad. I turned
it off because I said, I'm just over I'm sick
of it. And then ten message me ten minutes later
and she has put it back, put it back line.
(10:54):
I saw it, and I put it back on just
in time to see Simonson getting penalized for being airborne
upside down and landing on his head and if and if,
and they're saying that he tackled the coronal player in
the air, Well, then why wasn't a penalty try?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Yeah, just man, he's talking was he was under him?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
So it's literally like he grabbed a jersey, but he's
falling down on the back of Like what do you
want him to do?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, it could have appeared.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. I'm I'm not
suggesting that, like I said, they impacted the result. I'm
just saying, we can do without this crap.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
It did. It totally impacts the result because when you
see the score climbing and climbing, and you have this
feeling that it's just not going to go your way.
And and interestingly I said to Money, Manny was like,
why is during that ninety seven game, He's like, why
are the rest being so mean to the Broncos? And
(11:57):
I said, well, back then it was only Broncos. Franks
was the only Queensland team because I don't think cows
are around them. And I said, I I watched the
n r L where we had minimal Queensland teams when
I was at Manny's age, and I saw how bias
the refs were to, you know, new South Wales teams.
(12:18):
I said, that's why when I.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Forget about the grasshopper, grass, you're forgetting about the grasshopper.
Oh yeah, you don't know men.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Very, come on, you've got to You've got to watch
the grasshopper.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He was.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
He was a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It looks like love him, love he looks like Kenny's sister. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
But I'm just saying that there's always there's always a
bias towards a certain games, certain players, certain teams. And
it was back then. You can't don't tell me back
in the nineties when you had so many New South
Wales teams and one or two Queensland teams. It wasn't bias.
Perhaps I wrong, Lens, but that's.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Do you do you honestly believe that the old biased
against the Broncos back in the nineties because that's a
really good team.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Yeah, they had a great team. But even during Origin
if you I always watch games.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Had seen the grasshopper grasshopper.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Looking at it. He's on my screen.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
During Origins where he made his name.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
He he gave penalties whether there was no pedal, there
was no to give.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
This. Sorry, ten you wouldn't remember this obviously, but I
think it was the eighty one. It was either the
eighty one Grand Final or semi final. There used to
be a referee who Greg Hollywood Hartley, who was pretty
openly biased against Parameda and at one point I think,
coming with the Grandfather, it might have been a semi final.
(14:11):
That's it. We're a female fan ran onto the field
and started telling him off, and the Powa players had to, like,
you know, hold her by the arm and walk off
the field. George, and she ran onto the field and
pointing a finger in his face and telling him off,
and the power players she said, come on, love, let's
get Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
No, I just think when I look at games, and
that's why. Well when Manny, when he was watching the game,
I was just more excited because it matched my magazine
frame up here. But he was like, I can see
that they're just being a little bit mean to Broncos
players and letting them rub their faces in the dirt.
And I said, well, that's why when I watch games now,
(14:54):
like it was rough over Magic round, I do want
to talk about the previous round. I'm sorry. George b posted, Yeah,
forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yeah, but I just feel like there is a sometimes
there's a bit of a bias, you know, and now
that you've got all this other stuff that comes into
it too.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So yeah, obviously what doesn't say obviously we missed last round.
But yeah, the Bulldogs get in their first lost Brisbane
in that first half.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
That's perfection, perfection, perfection, forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And we want to go around, Yeah, where is where's that? Seriously?
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I play he was an outlier last week.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah, I know about to Ricky, but now look they
gave I guess the Bulldogs the Broncos gave forty minutes
of perfection I haven't seen. I haven't seen. Look, even
Pendrifet their best couldn't match that. That performance that was
that was awesome. They fell off the second half. It's
(16:01):
hard to keep eighty minutes of that type of emotional
and physical effort. But you know what, they've got it
in them. We thought they've got they've got in them.
Now how do you get it out of them? How
do you get it out of them?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah? Sorry, I think it was.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Gone you you went to the preseason game, Tea. I
knew what will happen even before a ball was kicked,
and we spoke. We spoke about it two weeks ago,
three weeks ago on the pod. I believe that Broncos
have got them mentally. I really do Canterbury and they
(16:45):
showed it. They showed it they and you know me that.
Let me tell you everything good about that first forty minutes.
If we think that mister popular as a good coach,
everything made done. Everyone moved the Soroudo had. He had
four moves to counter the one Serroudo move. How do
(17:08):
you how do you how do you get them? How
do you get the best defense of kilter? You drop
you drop people in uh and they're going sideways. So
you're turning the middle forwards shoulders in or out and
they're not coming up. So guess what happens all the
(17:29):
all their forwards straight through the middle like we saw
pain Hulf. I don't worry about what the tackled after
pain Huf. How about pain Huf is actual tackle. So,
like I said, Madge, it was a Madge master class.
There was a Rentals master class. There was a Hunt
master class. The forwards were awesome, awesome, and Colbo is
(17:55):
a fullback.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Cobo is not that pre season at game three, we
are happy. Yeah, that was. It was almost a exact
team that we had, Broncos and Bulldogs and they did
just to get Mariner.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
In because I was exactly the same. Tell you it
was exactly the same result. It was there. We all
put it down to I was a troll match. But
to me, the boy language even before the game told
me that the Broncos have got a mentally you know
what I mean?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, that was. Oh you know, I was messaging
Anna on Instagram. You don't tell George to watch the game,
and She's like, I'll wear fifteen minutes behind and I
was like don't tell George to watch my story's.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Look.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I love teeth. I love watching really good rugby league.
I always say that. And if Broncos think give me
that every week, I'm on board. I'm on board. I'm
on board. I'm a little bit different to most. Do
I want more?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Do?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I want more people to do well? Yet? But if
someone's giving me outstanding rugby league, I'm on board. I
love watching it. I don't care who it is. I
don't care who it is.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Now about we jumping new controversy corner Let's there's a
couple of big, big news stories. So Brandon Smith apparently
transfer is imminent from the Roosters to the Rabbits. Interesting
haggling over a forty thousand difference. At the moment, this
is immediate for the rest of this season. I think
(19:33):
if he goes to South and under Bennett and focuses
on being a nine, I reckon it's a win win
for them. To be honest, none will yeah, but Bennett
Bennett thinks he's a nine, so I am. I'm curious
to see how it plays. I'm curious to see how
it plays out because I don't know apart from Craig Bellamy.
(19:55):
I don't know if there's any other coach that can
get the best out of him, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Hmm, yeah, Look, it's it's gonna happen anywhay. But is
he injured. Also, once he back from injury, because.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Back back, back then, back in five six weeks or something, maybe.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Back end of the year, I'll get something out of him.
But you know what, he never said the rosters, he
was not a rooster's top of player. Yeah, so you
know he can move on. Now the question, the question
is he a good player? Absolutely, I've always said that
he's a rugged, hard running is he Is he good half? Yeah,
(20:39):
he's good, dumb half. Is he a hooker? Look, I'm
going to still say no, even despite what Bennett said.
I I actually read a story before on edit Bennet
said he's going to put him at lock. But anyway, regardless.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
To that, he's injured.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
He's injured.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
But next next they're going to play next year Exactly.
I can't play my lock next year with we can.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Put you can put they can put Marie on the
end on an edge.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But I don't know, he's never been But also he's
never been an eighty minute hooker right, even at Melbourne,
so they probably came probably play some back row as well. Yeah,
playing lock. You can play back row in Melbourne.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
He would come on and do a cameo and and
free up the hooker they I forget his name, the
guy Grant, And then he dropped that. When Grant would
come on, he like you said, Nicole, will drop drop
back to our lock. Look, he's he's good value. He's
good value. He's a rugged runner, he's a good defender,
(21:44):
and better will get the best out of him. Yeah,
for sure, for sure, I reckon he will anyway.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So apparently what they're saying is that the Roosters want
two hundred thousand for the rest of this year, so
prepared to pay one sixty. I'm sure they'll meet somewhere
in the middle.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Sure, by the time he's ready to play, he'll be
he'll be in the red and good.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Look, I hope he goes and finds his major again
because at the Roosters he being easier.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He be it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
No major there whatever I mean, Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I don't know what Trent Robertson's like as a coach,
but he's probably been my assumption sidetracked by two things
as not Craig Bellamy and b the Sydney lifestyle. Yeah,
it seems to have gotten the better of him now
he's on podcasts and everything and he's just a lot
looser than he was when he was in Melbourne. So
maybe he's a little bit distracted. I don't know. Yeah,
(22:39):
But also speaking of the Roosters, daily Chairry Evans is
going to go there for one year and a one
million dollar deal not confirmed, but that's what they're saying
for next year. Yeah, one year, yeah, but that's what
that's what everyone's saying. Yeah, one year, one mill Just
(22:59):
I do homework, So the Kenny's Pod, fifth and last
Gus Fox Sports Listeners. We put an incredible amount of
research into these shows late night. Yeah, not really just
the stuff that we read every day. But yeah, that's
what they're saying. So we'll see, we'll see if that
(23:20):
happens to it. It's a strange one year. I thought
he wanted to but he's going to be thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But it's still mainly offered him in the end two years,
two years, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's weird. And what's the bet he'll get a year
at a million and you'll probably get in the contentional
goat and we're off again. I'd say, you'll probably play.
But all you can do is sign him for a
year at a time. At thirty seven, he can only
have a year at the Roosters because there's too much
coming up, he much coming through. You're going to stunt
You're going to stunt growth if you if you signed for.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Two releasing Dominic Young is going back to Newcastle next week.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Again, not yeah, but no, it happen. Yeah, I heard
one hundred percent, you know, but he was. He was
never a Rooster's play. It didn't fit in. He wants
the place, he wants to play center anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Apparently for a club that's been so at the top
of the at the top of the ladder, not points wise,
that's probably a bad metaphor. But it'll been so good
with their recruitment. The last eight months has been horrid.
The recruitment has been terrible. The players let go and
the players they've signed, it's been terrible for a club
(24:37):
like that, you know, for a club like that to
sign players. Paul Momorowski announced his retirement today. You know,
so that these are all mid contracts. Yeah, we'll arguing
about Galvin. These are all mid contract players to the club,
saying see you later.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
The clearing deck. They're clearing the deck, these kids coming through.
They're looking the good, looking, excellent for ten NRL games,
they're looking good.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
How about when he comes back in and they've got
two wins and everything is no noise coming out of
targets her anymore?
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Funny what Victory does or does mac is adult.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
There was some add with him and Luel and a
few other people. Who's the guy I was reading about
the weekend, who's the replacing d C from Raiders?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah, yeah, I got I know he's got to go
for the money to kill for his family. But I
questioned the fit there.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Well, they didn't contact him, but his contract apparently.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You mean.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
You mean the the Raiders mm hmm yeah, the Raiders. Yeah,
I think I think is the third year of the
second year he gets three years there or two years?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Are they three? That's why he's gone Cambra over him
two and then mainly up to another year.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah, So it's not the money, is the time period
and and Cambra can't keep him because so much underneath.
They can't keep him for three years they can't.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Keep I just sent you. I just sent you a
text of that I sent to George and Tan of
Ricky Stewart of Magic Grounds. I see that.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, that's funny. Have a look at it later, Have
a look at Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
And now there's other reports today that this hasn't going
to be facing the sack if he doesn't win twelve
out of the last sixteen. That's really that's a big ask.
That's a big ask considering their current form, and the
feet is in reserve grade.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
They're shocking him around. Apparently, that's what I heard as
well two clubs.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I said, we're wondering.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Who was going to be the first coach sacked. And
you know, we never really had him in the picture,
right But.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Now, I mean, I don't know how solid that is,
but this is just what they were a porting.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So I was waiting for that idea when more more
losses came, I was waiting to hear about that. I
would like them to think with Daisy, I can't believe
des is the issue. I think maybe, well we've seen it.
They're shopping. They're shopping there for fitter around, so maybe
(27:23):
he's the cancer there. There's something going on because no,
I mean you think so up in the officer's team. Yeah,
it's it's it's something going on because that lift should
not be the body.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Even if you look at if you look at Parado,
we all know and talk about, you know, Gatho and
our cg last year, right again, and I just mentioned
players who are getting who are getting let go meet contracts.
If you look at Paramotter just this year, Bryce cart right,
Sean Lane would to move, Greg now has been offered
(28:01):
to the Super League, Ryan Madison, Joe Offali and apparently
Junior Paulo is going to retire at the end of
the year. Now that's that's that's the entire forward pass
bes see you later. So I hope he's got a plan.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
He's got.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But we're seeing it. We're seeing it. We're seeing it
a lot again. You know again, it irks me. I
don't want to keep going back there. But with all
the stuff, the headlines that blew up about Galvin, all
these clubs are kicking players out of mid contract and
it's okay.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
What happened in the last two weeks coming back in
it's insanity.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
They're getting this cat ready for next year or these
clubs money, you know what.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
The thing with the thing with Hasler, the Warriors were
similar to what the Titans are. They always had the
talent can navigate to the next step. And Webster has
just weaved his magic since he's been there, been solid.
I've got a feeling that's what's going to happen to
the times. But they just got to find the right coach.
Is not the right coach, They've got to find some youngster,
(29:06):
some some young guy that's got new ideas because the
old coaches now I'm telling you now Flannigan will be
probably next soon if he keeps going with this. But
the Flannagans, the Hassler's, or the old guys that you
had a bit of success in the early days, they're
starting to fail a bit now. They're using the old
methods continue going well, but it is just inconsistency. Like
He's they're either brilliant or their way off. You know,
(29:30):
I just.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Go like a bit of a yo week in week out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
One thing that's similar about those who though they bank
on old players more than the youth, you know what
I mean, that takes them a while to bring a
youth going, whereas the newer coaches aren't afraid to throw
in a youngster, whereas Flannigan, he has been forced to
blood in the youngsters this year because the other guys
have simply been crap. But Hasler is the same, like
he's sort of a little bit.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Because if you look at Roles the team that Paramatti
ran out with, they had five they had four run
on players with less than ten games experience. So you're
definitely right about the younger coaches are taking that kind
of approach. Yeah, maybe maybe Trent Robinson and some of
these other coaches was just saying, you know what, we
(30:18):
need to kind of do something similar. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Trent Robertson where the roosters are now with Trent Robinson
is a huge him because that's not a good team,
that's all youngsters, and he'd lost a lot of players,
so he's done really well. I think robot I know,
his recruitment has been pretty poor the last couple of years,
but even they wanted to get there.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean they lost was at Supreneur because of the
forfeeder bundle mm hmmm, and just the players have brought in.
They were releasing him a year or two later, it's
you know, but I suppose the thing that's George, You've
been the loudest vocally. The thing that's more alarmed, it's
most alarming is that with players like Brandon Smith. I
(31:04):
remember George was saying it straight away like this is
a bad fit.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
It's not going to work, you know what with Robbo specifically,
because he's had so much success there and if you've
had one or two years, you know, ordinary results because
obviously a bad recruitment. It looks like he's seen his
way and he's going back to that as well. Gee,
(31:31):
he's going back to what he usually does. Because what
I'm seeing these kids coming through, they look like when
they have fifty to one hundred n real games underneath,
they're built. They look like they're going to be pretty
pretty good. Now in terms of coaching, I can tell
you right here and now, there's a big difference between
the young brigade Ryles throughout zero Fits is a little
(31:59):
bit differ and he's a little bit old school a
little bit. He runs it a little bit old school
to to the to your Flannagans and your Daisy's. They
play more direct, more old fashioned power game even the Professor.
They're trying to use this this sort of power, sort
(32:21):
of move movement of a ball sort of game brand new,
the new style called the new coaches. So you're right there. Now.
I don't know what's what's the right type of rugby league.
But as the game quickens up and the forwards a
different shape, they're not the six, they're not all paining HSSs.
(32:44):
Maybe this sort of movement in forward passes to forward
uh and bringing them bringing them back on the inside,
coming with angloed runs so you catch up the defenders
turning shoulders might be the way to go.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Rolls done with the center Jordan a background.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Yes, yes, yes, rolls. I consider rolls as a new brigade.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
He's not going for size, he's not going for size
upfront mobility.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, I call I call roles part of the new brigade,
the hero, and and and even the Professor, which is
not young, but he's got a young thought, the Professor,
so his more ball movement.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I still would like to have to big middle forwards
around him. You know, I think you're still that there's
two blocker roaches to to break the wall down.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
You know, you need someone punching the meat as Yeah, definitely,
or you can do like Canby doesn't with more movement.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
But then again, then again Broncos put a stop to
that with the whole The whole comp showed how you
you can rip Canby's middle all apart, he showed off
he's there.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
There's yes, no, no, no yet to say. They're probably
going to I.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Was going to say, there's ten million dollars worth of
talent in reserve grade right now across the What.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I was going to say is I feel bad for
the coaches, right like I know, you know, we can
say whatever you want about about certain things. Now I've
as you guys know, like having experienced at the community
level and also experience with certain and exposure to certain
clubs in the er L. At the moment, you got
(34:36):
to look at who's on the board, because the board
has oversight right over decisions and coaching decisions and recruitment
and what makes them look good. And you know, it's
very strategic. And also it's not just similar to running
a business where where not everyone should have a business
or run it or manage it, and they might have
(34:57):
ego that tells that as well. And we look at
you know, if we look at I guess even how
you know the Broncos. The Broncos are a really good
spread on their board. They have people from the industry,
they have people that have come from finance everything else.
Like Storm has the scene, like they've experienced people. And
(35:17):
if we're talking about Titans, like you know the people
that are on the Titans, it's privately they have very
strong oversight over over the coach and what they do.
And it's a very Gold Coast focused board, do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
She's the one who went out of her way to
pick there's the up. She begged them basically to come,
which is what what's.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Rebecca? Yeah, they have they have a smaller board, right,
And I'm just looking at like the because I always
get interested in how clubs are structured and stuff. And
then you have a look at how because when I
because I sponsored the Titans years ago, and who's the
guy that now he was there and he's not there anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
He was a CEO.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Gosh I met him a few times. He's now more
in the NRL. He was great commercially that for that club.
But we go, what do we have who is actually
behind the coach, who's actually who are the people being
appointed to football operations? Or they're getting it because they're
friends of a friend of a friend, or are they
getting it because they're actually you know, suitable for the role.
(36:25):
Because you got to think in these clubs they're not
necessarily run. And we were talking about this before we started, George, like,
in terms of running a business and everything. It's great
to start a business or run it because you love
doing what you do or you love footy, but do
you have the right people in place so we can
go des is bad and he's bad whatever? Like Nick,
we were talking about it before with Shane too. It's
(36:48):
not necessarily about the coach. The coach is the puppet,
do you know what I mean? They're the ones that
have to do what they're being told because who's paying them.
So I go, I look at it probably more for
my commercial perspective, and I go, well, instead of looking
at the coach, who's on the board, you know, and
what's what's actually driving certain decisions Because I've I know
(37:09):
people that have played at certain clubs too that have
given insight as well into what it's like being at
certain clubs without like saying too much, and it's not.
It's it's run. A lot of those clubs are crazily run.
Like I had insight into the Suns, the AFL as
well sooner like back then it was not very organized.
They usually aren't. It's the it's the it's the bigger
(37:34):
established storm Panthers. That's even when you guys are talking
about Panthers and dragons last year. Their structure. That's why
I was. I found it so impressive because I haven't
seen that as much here in certain so I kind
of go, yes, the coach and everything else, but god,
he's only his hands are tired, you know, So do
you thok about?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
It's interesting though. I thought there's some coaches who who
had sort of car blanche. They can probably probably do
anything they wanted to.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Have ownership or they get a percentage of whatever that
would be. That is a really good strategic thing that
we use for general managers if we want them to
have more buy in when we're recruiting them for a
role in a year or two years time. You get
a cut of the profits. If you looked if people went,
people don't go this intensely because they probably don't think
like I do. But if you looked at who had
(38:30):
a private ownership or even some sort of you know, shareholder,
and you look at how that's linked to that particular coach,
like they would have more of a vested interest in
doing well for the club and listening and moreover, because
you've got to think it's not the clubs are a
commercial business.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
We paid, Yeah, not many of them actually make profits.
Are maybe two or three of them? You mean beside
Penriff and the Broncos, which the Broncos are the richest
club in the league or in the world rugby league club.
Not many make profits last year. It's it's not like I.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Just just for the first time.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
But they're probably not well enough. They're probably not run
efficiently enough.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Like I know, para problem.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I mean we you know we went we went to
I mean, if you go to a paramountic game and
you're not a member, do you have much your pain?
Mm hmm, it's absurd, right. And then for someone who
wants to take their family, Look, if I was running
the club easy kids undertend getting free, that's.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Absolutely and you're going to make it back in the day.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
You're going to make your money back with chips and
hot dogs.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
Anyway that make a club money, sponsorship deals, right, naming
rights like we we had the naming rights for Kevin
Propter's shirt jersey, which that year he did something very
unfortunate which was not ideal for go back there. But
you think about that. So if you're getting sponsors on
(40:04):
board and you see them holding like this big bag
of money, you're going to be swayed that way to
get you know, more stuff for your club. It's just
the way that the business world works. Like if it's
a member's run club then obviously it's a little bit different.
They have a bit of a say, but I guess
for the way that I see it, Like you know,
Broncos are publicly listed right so that they do have money,
(40:26):
you know, whereas you have privately owned companies or members around,
I just I kind of go, yes, you know, I
can hate on Benji and Bennett and Bennet probably has
more of re sake be as the respect thing too,
but I go I also know there's people behind there
that are holding the strings as well, which is the
main driver for a lot of the things too.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
But it's interest, that's the reason why you have people
like Guskull, which is a buffer between the coach and
the board, you know, I mean, and I'm sure every clubs.
I guess God, I.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Mean you needed too, because what was it too easy? Ago?
Wayne Bennett didn't front the press conference, which is apparently
his tooth fell out.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
That's right, Yeah, that's right, you're right.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, Well what he was drinking coffee in the box
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
But exactually, miss you look at it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
When Wayne Bennett gets the ships and he doesn't want
to turn up, it doesn't turn.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Up and we're going to take it out.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Well, you know what, if your tooth falls out, you
can still talk, you know what I mean? Like, I mean,
he had the ships because he lasted he didn't do
the press conference. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Time for your tooth to fall out otherwise, you know,
that's true enough.
Speaker 5 (41:42):
Actually, te I got an email from a Queensland listener
asking about the third parties and I'm actually doing a
little bit of work behind the scenes on the Broncos
third party deals. A bit hard to find, but I'm
still battling a couple of when already comes back, not
(42:03):
next week. The other work I'll try to tell you
roughly how much some of the players and I can't
find everybody, but on the Minion.
Speaker 6 (42:17):
Well, interestingly, because they are a SX listed, you can
actually find the reports.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
You can find the reports that's not a report will
be available online the company because because I doesn't reveal
them as we know, because NRL. So you've got to
go actually dig in and to find to find things.
But you're right, ASEX and that's what I was thinking, as.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Well as a recruiter and know how to find that
salaries really quickly.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
That's good. She'll tell me.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Just one last point. Good. The Premier of Western Australia
has confirmed the personal Host Eighties team.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Yes, the Bears are back the best.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
It's official.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
Good.
Speaker 6 (43:05):
I want to fly six hours to still be in Australia.
I have two people.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
I wouldn't but I just think there's way too many teams.
There's way too many times.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
They're doing it for commercial Yeah, they for commercial reasons.
They want twenty teams to conferences.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
We've been there before twenty times. Look getting added to
the teams who got cut. We had the South Queensland crushes,
we had the Western Reds, we had the Adelaide rams.
No one's talked about South Australia. Are they going to
bring that in next you know.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
No, they'll They'll probably put one in New Zealand or
yeah they won't do that, they put one in New
Zealand or Witch.
Speaker 6 (43:52):
Yeah do ip switch yets. It's funny, but the Cowboys
CEO is stepping down at the end of the year
after twenty two years. If you're my mates, be like,
to any you're going to apply for that, I'm like,
you know what, they probably need a female coach or
a female CEO or something. And then yeah, yeah, after
(44:15):
the first week.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
I think, yeah, let's let's move into the round that was, yes,
the round that was so magic, Round, Tragic Crown some corn.
It every day was sold out, wasn't it. But we
had some rain there as well. Yeah, yes, yeah, which
(44:38):
was unfortunate, both.
Speaker 5 (44:40):
Of or fifteen minutes of madness.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
Yeah man, sorry Artie. Meg was there for the whole
three days and she was rough.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Sorry Meg. On the Friday night they ran out of
beer ow, they ran out, they ran out of the
Great Northern. She was like, I don't what's happen? Thing
Dolphins is losing and they've run out of Great Northern.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
And I was like, yeah you think you think girl?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Yeah? Yeah, black Bronco. Broncos girl.
Speaker 5 (45:12):
Oh, Broncos girl.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
I thought you are if you're Broncos, you know, okay, yeah,
run out of the beer, so run out of that anti.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah. So the first game Sharks twenty eight it was
eighteen I think of what I mean, it was, it was,
it was. It was good and bad in patches as
a Nils fan, Sharks were good again. Some of the
(45:46):
calls not for one second suggestion they affected the result.
But Moses got got shoulder charged off the ball and
there was no symbing was placed on report. But there's
no symbing. What's that? And just the high shot that
hit the shoulder that was penalmized early in the I mean,
(46:07):
it's just you know, and then the refs but the
ref's reasoning when when he was questioned about it, because
you could hear it over the microphone. Yeh know, I
know I saw it hit the ball, but it come
up off the ball and then hit him in the face.
Yeah yeah, but it hit the ball carrying the ball, right,
jesus h It's just getting harder and harder to watch.
(46:30):
It's a collision sport, it's you know, but yeah, I
don't know. Look, I missed half of this game because
I had the ship. So, like I said, I turned
it off and and tenure, I heard some colorful language.
And on Friday night, I wasn't because it was just
I was just it wasn't It wasn't the result or
(46:52):
the score. It was just the crap that I was
seeing in front of him, just over it. I'm seriously, if.
Speaker 5 (46:57):
We if we push away the referee and the this
this was a type of game where Cornela had to
go and do what they have to do to get
the two points. Earl's did not play bad. They did
not play. They were hanging around. They were hanging around
(47:17):
in it, are in it emotionally as well, which I liked.
But yeh, look it starts from will Will Kennedy and
how they fell how in the in the forums they
still don't believe in Will Kennedy. It's got me absolutely baffled.
It's got me baffled. I listened to I listened to
(47:39):
a Carnela pod and still the first thing is it's
it's not the real Wial Kennedy. Okay, he's leaning the
d It's not the realned. But anyway, anyway, it's got me,
got me buggered, and it starts starts from from Will
and he goes to look Kay Kevin Ira or k
l Ira wants to be called now, came straight in
(48:00):
because of injury. People were talking about if he would
come back into the team. The kid's a sip star.
Kid's a sipstar. I don't care. He's like his uncle,
if not better than his uncle, Ronaldo doing Ronaldo. I
think Trindle a little bit quiet Nico taking center stage
and seeing the team around. Can I suggest the big
(48:22):
dollars that they spent on Trindle could have been a
little bit premature. We'll see what happens during the year.
But yeah, and you know what, Please, no one blame
for Noal Blake for anything, because Fanila Blake is doing
for Noial Blake things. Kre guys amazing. Oh no, no, no,
it's not that they're saying that. Some of the forums
(48:44):
are saying that he's not holding up his part of
the duel. Let me tell you he's holding up he's
part of the duel and some and some I'm liking
Brayley can we have him in the conversation or what's
your thoughts that we're having him in the conversation for
a Blues Jersey in a conversation. We know that the
North Queensland hook is going to get the Braley young
(49:08):
young Brailey.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
Yeah, I mean I'd be happy with the Cowboys hooker.
Speaker 5 (49:14):
Yeah, no, no, he will get the incoming I always
like incombing players. But he's he's he's gone on a
new level. I think this year. I'm a massive fan
of Niko. I've always said that and I'm putting now
Camen mcginnon, I'll say it again. He puts his head
in where you wouldn't put your foot. Nicol. Yeah, he's
(49:37):
a sensation. He's a sensational, you know. I mean he
doesn't when you look at his stats, you say how
because he doesn't translate on the field, but he does
all that dirty, yacky things that you don't want to do,
sort of a race thing sort of player. Nicola penalties
in that game fifteen peno, Yeah, okay, that's a normal
(50:00):
And look, look I thought that. I thought that again,
Paramounta weren't awful. I think I think there's some players
like the young the young fullbacks developing.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Still, that'll be much better when Low Mexic comes back
next week.
Speaker 5 (50:17):
Absolutely, I just come back next week. Oh thank you, good,
good good. And the fours held their held their own.
So again we're going to give Jason two years, aren't we?
At least?
Speaker 3 (50:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (50:30):
See yeah, but look, it's it's it's a game that
they had to go and get it done done. Yeah,
and they did and they did yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
And and there must have been a lot of paraffins
there because it must have been during that game where
they ran out of beer. Because the following the following game,
the rooster has been the Dolphins thirty six points to
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
Three to one, mate, yeah sorry one yeah, three to one,
and gave it to Cameron McGinnis because of his work rate,
high work rate. He was.
Speaker 5 (51:01):
He was a crazy, crazy guy.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
The second point, two points went to and he's not
taking the piss out of Shark fans, but he gave
it to William Kennedy because he played really well.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
How how they coop?
Speaker 2 (51:12):
I know, I.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
Don't know.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
I don't know what they these Sharks fans, I don't
know what they've seen anyway.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
And one point went to Riley Smith, the young hooker
from that he was fifty seven tackles man. This kid
the second or third game. This kid is going to
be really good.
Speaker 5 (51:26):
Little Nicola very early. He's very early in his real
career obviously been enough to say that he should and
he probably will be the long term hooker for paramatter.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Got it. It's funny because he even looks like read
money with the head girl. He really does, you know,
he does very similar, very similar. Like I would say,
is at the same stage that he was when he
in his first season.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Okay, I don't remember that, you remember it.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Was it was twenty nineteen. So like him. I like him.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
I think there's a massive future.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Yeah, yeah, he's become a sledger.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
He had to choose. He had to choose between I
don't know what were the choice is here personally, but
he had to choose between rugby league and cricket. We
could do winter. He could have played representative cricket. Anyone
who knows me knows that I'm not a cricket fan.
I can't comment, so for me, any sport that breaks
(52:35):
for lunch is not a sport. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Wouldn't it be freaky though, if you had a guy
represented Australian cricket and rugby league the same year, because
once in summer, once in winter, I'm.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
Glad you choose footy. But I was reading a story
just last week, I think on Fox Sports where Ross
brought his dad in to present for the jersey presentation
when he debuted in first grade and they made a
big deal out of it. So he's he's going well,
he's going well good.
Speaker 5 (53:09):
Yeah, good kid.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
And John Walker's made a big difference to that team
as well, hasn't he. Yeah, he really has. He's almost
like a third half off the bench. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
I thought it was a strange one, but the other
I sear it and this is going back. It goes
back to Ryle because solistically he knows what he wants.
It works.
Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (53:30):
Yeah, And I've always liked I've always liked Dylan. I've
always liked him.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
Yeah, isn't I mean he won dam Center of the Year.
But he's also played hooker. He has played like he's
a bit of an everything guy.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
He's got really good hands, and he's got really good
ballwork and he knows when to run and went to pass,
and that's a that's a very big skill.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
Yeah. But anyway, going back to the Roosters and the Dolphins,
so thirty six points to twenty six ten, you want
to talk to studious?
Speaker 5 (54:02):
What do you go for me to?
Speaker 6 (54:04):
No, I don't want to talk about it. I was
so appointed, but also I just looked. I think, I
just they were doing so good, right, I really they
lost the previous week, but prior to that, they were
(54:26):
doing so well, and I just like, I just couldn't
because what was it was four It was three tries
before Hammer even scored his first you know, I don't know,
I was saying to Nick, Magic round because I even
compared the previous rounds like previous years, because that's the
type of paston I am, and it is always random
(54:47):
during Magic Round, you can't pick it right, and I
feel it's such a different vibe. I've been to one
Magic Round a few years ago and I think it's
something one or two, and it is so a trick
and it would be quite intimidating, like even for the players.
It's a different kind. We've had lots of rain up here,
and I just Dolphins always play well at home, their
(55:09):
home some court. If it's you know, and I just
like Asaka converted all his all the tries, like it
was Alla, wasn't that great here? Four other seven like
they had the form Like any Queensland game or team
that we talk about in this round, they all had
it and they just couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (55:30):
All the queens teams lost. Yeah yeah at some court.
Speaker 6 (55:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (55:37):
I think I think you've been you've been a little
bit harsh on him because they're injury ravage at the
at the moment, I think I think there's four or
five out and some experienced, more experienced players out and
you know what they feel in and out of the game.
But this game was this game really was all about Teddy.
(56:00):
Teddy's winded back the clock to his his hey day
when he made and and things. Raff was the Oh,
it's all about Teddy. He's what winded back the clock
and and he's the reason one of the reasons why
(56:21):
this team is firing as they are. Look another Queensland
U t Robert uh Ty Toyer Toyer, He's he's improving
every time he touches the ball. Marky Mark from Union,
I think he's born playing rugby league.
Speaker 6 (56:42):
This kid, he guys watched it. There was like Boss
Stock he was doing this late last year. He kept
you dropping the ball, that is your job? Like what
is your job?
Speaker 3 (56:57):
But I think it was it rained hard at one
point to doing it.
Speaker 6 (57:02):
Yeah, it was the roughest round.
Speaker 3 (57:04):
It's got to be so it's easy for us.
Speaker 6 (57:07):
A decent team they had, Yeah, really there Sarco favorite obviously,
like that Herbie Hammer. Like, yes, I lost to Raiders,
which I didn't agree with the previous round anyway, but
even you know Smith was off in the first what
ten minutes, Billy really no sand in Smith.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
Which was a massive blow massive.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
I know it's just going to sound wrong, but they're
all these clubs trained with wet bulls. You know, they
have the bulls dunking in the sapey water on the sideline,
get thrown in and I just.
Speaker 6 (57:41):
Think it's and you'll see neck when you come up
in July. It is just a different type of feeling
during that that round. It's like origin, that's that's the
feel of It's hectic. But I did one of my mates,
Joey from Malsana, his son is meet with Sandon, who
(58:07):
went off. Yeah, I was just like I should I
hope he's all right, you know, like because that's like,
you know, I don't want to see that at the
beginning of the game with that drop, the guys couldn't
come come back, you know. Yeah, I just feel like
that was super rattled.
Speaker 3 (58:25):
Whilst we're talking about the Roosters, just quickly, I want
to give a shout out to beat Johnson kaa who's listening.
Gave me a mouthful on Saturday night. The Rooster's winning
and Para losing as he always does every time I
see him. But we're glad to have you on board, Johnny,
so enjoy.
Speaker 5 (58:43):
You'll be happy with Katawa. He's the guy who actually
dragged them back into the flight, back into that game
and made the score look respectable because I thought Rusters
never looked like in danger. This Savala, what have we got?
What have we got on him? Four m real games?
(59:05):
Maybe not great on his feet, but the kicking game
to cherish. He's not half, is he He's a back roll?
Is in your center, right?
Speaker 2 (59:14):
I think he's a half half. I think he can
play back roll as well, but he's a half. He's
a genuine half.
Speaker 5 (59:22):
Okay, Yeah, he's kicking fantastic Yeah, he's kicking game, puts
the ball where the Roosters want, the Fins coming out
of there, out of their dirty ball, so makes it
really half for him, and he keeps on putting it,
putting it there. Look, it was not a complete performance.
(59:43):
But when they're they're, they're they're, they're looking somewhat like
a rugby league team, the Roosters, and they're trying to
struggling to find their identity with all these players going out,
and I call it the rooster the rooster way. They're
slowly trying to find out anything. Now the Finns, I'm
(01:00:05):
like Tanya, I'm pret disappointed of their performance. Now this
is the second or third loss in the road to
I can't remember now, second lot of and that before that,
that before that, three in a row and we thought
they were flying. So but this week I think they're
getting some players back to I think they're getting some
players back.
Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
The camera game in round three, but I think it
was an old mate that's fairly had a year on
his raffing thing, or it was someone else, so I
didn't know how to ref that game. I'm so harsh
because I love the Dolphins, but yeah, you know, the
minute I saw if you guys noticed, there were two
or three players that did double tries or even hat
(01:00:45):
tricks right the minute I saw the second one. So
this was it Mark or was it Radley that got
it in this game?
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I was like, nah, like Radley got a double? Mark double? Yeah,
Robert Troyer Troyer, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
Think I see like the double Victor Mark Mark Victor.
I'm like, no, we're done. And and if you look
at every single game the guys that got the doubles
one super disappointed with that one. I'm not, you know,
I'm really hoping that they they come up this week.
Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
You know what they're they're in and now they're in now.
But the only good thing is you have got one
of the best half backs, or one of the best
young half backs is developing his game and he's going
to be if he's not already, he's going to be
a superstar. He's going He literally, single handily middle of
the second half, when not looked dead and buried, he
(01:01:46):
dragged them back into that game. So he's a special
young man, a very special young man.
Speaker 6 (01:01:51):
I just realized. I said, I hope they come back
this week. But they're playing the Ills.
Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Sorry, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (01:01:59):
I'm going to go Broncos game when you told me, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
No, I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Do you want to give us three to one on that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Sure. The Roosters are my second team and I'm so
glad they're doing well at Teddy Teddy Teddy. But I
lost Manu and Sali and they brought in these two
youngsters are playing the no quantas here and the other
guy Toya, So yeah, well done. The robot three points
went to the Desco to seventy one meters, which was fantastic.
(01:02:31):
Hugo Savala losing his harvest partner in six minutes and
then just took over and he showed how what a
class he's going to be. And I got the one
point for that one.
Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
So good, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Yeah, russ are doing.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
The first game on Saturday, Newcastle got back to the
winning ways against the Rabbits, but it was thirty points
to four. But g Us have been depleted. They've lost
so many players. You know, we shouldn't lead up to
this one, crazy crazy depleted. It's not funny if.
Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
You look at the score though. The first two tries,
but by one person. It was his birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Sharpe was, yeah, Sharp, that's your sharp.
Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
You had a blinder that was brutal and that's face.
I was like, oh my god, I don't know what
you can I got bored with this game.
Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
I mean they the lost Jack White, they lost someone
else as.
Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
Well, souls depleted and actually, well we all go through it.
But look Newcastle bounces back after I think sixth straight
losses and yeah they needed it and uh and T
(01:03:53):
T T said it flat to Sharp looks like a superstar.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Sometimes i'd see what it see what I do. Think
he's unfair though Lewis Thoughts finally gets brought in for
this game. I mean, he can't be judged off this game.
Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
No, no, you can't judge him at all so far
because he hasn't been got any opportunity. There's no he's
been given.
Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
I don't know if we was he named this week,
I haven't looked.
Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
I don't know. But you can't judge him. I can't
say yay or nay because for some unknown reason, ben
it just kept on overlooking him, you know, or giving
him very limited time, so which but then disappointing.
Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
But then you bring him into the that's the worst
possible snow set up for failure, you know, Yeah, I
mean I don't know that ever really stood a chance
of winning that game just because of the players they
had out.
Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no no. And and like
I said, I wouldn't even judge him on the performance
of last week, because how can you judge anyone from
from how performance? You know what the score says. With
all here, hopefully they'll get some players back and strengthen up.
This is all about. This game was all about all
about the Knights bouncing back and some of these players
(01:05:12):
who are superstars, like gay guy like.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Kalen He's been dropped. His name's in the reserves list
this week.
Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Really, if you bought him for eight hundred grand, you're
gonna give him a goat. Yeah, there's still they look,
there's there's issues here for this team and namely the Knights,
which are still there. Make no mistake the playmaking Fletcher
Sharp is great, fantastic. When he gets some open field
(01:05:43):
to running or when he hits the gap, he's he is,
He's electrifying. I love watching him. But all in hand
and setting up other people, this is the issue where
they've got. So you've got you've got some really really
done back seat best gay guy look Kayle and Kylen travels,
he goes everywhere, the poor guy to get the ball
(01:06:04):
in his hands, and Cogger is just not fitting the bill.
These fourwards last week did the job from from Carl
Peace Paul to SEPHII, which I never really raided. So
let's hope they keep on keep on doing this because
Newcastle shouldn't be down the bottom, of course is at
all respectfully.
Speaker 6 (01:06:25):
Though, like I know we talk about like you know
and respectfully to Bennett, but I don't really think he's
done much in terms of with teams he's had since
the Dragons, like really like you know.
Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
He took I mean he was in he was in
a whisper of winning a Grand Final.
Speaker 6 (01:06:44):
But also but also Dragons like what was it twenty ten?
Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Like yeah, but then he went to Newcastle after that
and that was a bad experience.
Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Yeah, so we've got so we've got Newcastle.
Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
But you know he was at minute away for winning
and premiership at Brisbane. But literally a minute, literally a
minute if we.
Speaker 6 (01:07:05):
Look if we look at Bennett, like that's what I'm
probably really gunning for the Dolphins too, because even what
they've done this year under Wolf, let's let's you know,
what's he doing with I.
Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Thought Bennett did well. I thought he did well with
the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
But think even with the Dolphins, they had valiance to
that massive unit that came from Q Cut did nothing
with him. The first two games he the Dolphins, he
he literally did a josh Ka like in every single
game he played.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Trade. You know, if he's off someone, he's off someone.
Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
But that's where you I know that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
I know that, But I mean, you know, back in
the day, back in the day when when Justin Hodges
signed with the Roosters, he was dropped immediately from first grade. Yeah,
that's why.
Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
But I kind of I sit here and I go, look,
I know Bennett from you know, back then, and yes,
he was great. But I don't know. I don't know
if he gets a super coach title anymore, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
I don't know. I think he's I think the game
maybe it's outgrain him a little bit. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
My question to you is every team he goes to,
or eighty percent of the teams he goes to Has
he improved and forget winning titles, that's the most hardest
thing you can do. Has he improved a team or
Egypt Newcastle or.
Speaker 6 (01:08:37):
He didn't do anything with the Dolphins? He did that.
Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
You know what he did at the Dolphins. What he
did is put culture in there one I guarantee you
he put culture and he broad kids in there with
high character and high culture.
Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
From the Broncos, which I think was good. They followed
him there. I think that's the culture piece that we're
talking about. But how good would it have been for
him to retire with a brand new Queensland team, the
fourth one sticking it out?
Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know why.
That's the only thing he was involved in, the imbrune
stages of that club being put together, he was he
was involved in. He was involved in every meeting, every negotiation.
If you watch that Dolphins doctor, you'll see it.
Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
I'm still shocked and look, I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Know why he didn't stay there. I want to retire here,
you know, man, Like.
Speaker 6 (01:09:34):
What what a legacy to come from Bronco, something that
you know and full respect that this is something that
has been turning over in my mind since getting on
the pop with you guys around him, because I go like,
because even the Rabbits are here guys talking now, I
should have put someone in and you know, like you
give them a chance right where whereas Wolf, I know,
(01:09:57):
the guys didn't play and there were a lot of
injuries for the often he's getting everyone. That kid from
Q Cup Valiants, he was brilliant. He was like the
New South Wales forward that's called the tries for originally
on the night. He was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
You just it's missed opportunities, I think, and I think
you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I mean again,
if you look at Jason Rawles, like two weeks ago,
like at the start of this part, I named five
forwards who are being released. Four of them were named
in Cup. It was the most expensive front row in
New South Q Cup, New South as Cup, you know
(01:10:42):
what I mean. And I'm like, I'd like to win
a game. Why don't we put him in? You know,
why don't we put him in that? They have their methods,
you know, so I.
Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
Think we've Jason. You got to give him Klin.
Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I think Bennett Speker's mistake. Honestly, it was Le Saint
George because what he built, No, those three years that
were the beachmark, that were really really they'll go up
the top.
Speaker 6 (01:11:07):
Are we talking about what he could have also done
with Dolphins that he missed during the Saint George too?
Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Do you know that's George? That was they were top,
They were really good. And then they wanted him to
stay longer, but he just got stubborn because he wanted
five years at the start, they offered him three, and
then when it was at the end, he wouldn't extend anymore.
It's like, not, no, I'm not going to stay longer.
Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
I reckon. I reckon for him he did. He did
the right thing because I say this respectfully when you
look at players like Jamie Soward and that he got
the best out of everyone and how to play him
and if you remember how both Scott was protecting Jamie Soward. Yeah,
that like he got the best out of everyone in
that team. And I think it's a little bit of it.
I think the best thing Ivan Cleary could do is
(01:11:49):
leave Penry in the next three years. No, I don't know, man,
Otherwise he's gonna he's going to see the other side
of the slide, you know what I.
Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Mean, recompenish of state because what he built and the
players were still in the prime, he still had at
least five years he could squeeze more out of those guys.
I went that old. He took a couple of them
to Newcastle. Other guys went somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
I still had followed him everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yeah, I know Darius Boyd his son, he's long was sunny.
But yeah, never since then, he's sort of gone a
bit funny with that Queen's Broncos game where the lost
to the Cowboys. What year was that? Two thousand and
which one was fifteen? Fifteen, twenty fifteen? Okay, so five
years later he bounced back. But that was a good
Broncos team as well. But yeah, since that Grand Final
(01:12:34):
lost though, he hasn't really done too much.
Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
Honestly, it was a fifteen or seventeen.
Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
He has built a club fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Actually he got South to the Grand Final two.
Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
We forgot that, yes, I mean again and again again. Yeah,
Againt Penrith just started their run right. Brisbane were less
than a minute away from winning that Grandfather right, but
no one remembers that and whoever wins the war gets
to read write history the way they want people to
(01:13:04):
read it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:04):
Right, So we were we're talking about age.
Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
He's lost his last two Grand finals. Yeah, he's one
eight or whatever seven seven.
Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
Coaches and how fluid they are in terms of getting
with the times right, And here's what's seventy five, you know.
And that's not to say that he's not still shut
he's playing from but he's coaching from this era, this era,
you know, a different time.
Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
And camera remember coaching camera.
Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
And yeah, and I've massively taken us down a pathway.
But I've just I've just had it in my mind
and then be king. I'd be king to hear what
you know.
Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
I will say I will say this though I don't
think it's I think as far as twenty twenty five goes,
I don't think we can judge him on this season
based on the injuries and distractions of the South have had. Yeah,
I don't think it's fair to Judgehihen this season. Next
year yeah, next year him next year, yes, but.
Speaker 5 (01:14:10):
He still should have the tag of super coach, the
idea and be calling supercoach. He should he still should
have the take of super coach. Yeah, yeah, but I
understand what you're saying. He I think you should have
stayed at the Finns as well, and another twill three
years just to build on on on what he started.
But let me let me say, don doan't undersell Wolf.
(01:14:35):
He's a good coach. He's a good coach and you've.
Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Got to give it to Bennett. He left Dolphins in
a good state. He didn't just leave him rubbish, you
know what I mean. He got him a good coach.
He tutored him and then he left a good set
of cattle and that's what you can. Kloppted to Liverpool
with the new manager and they won the title, So
you know what I mean. That's a sign of a
good coach when he leaves and leaves it seem in
a really good state where they've got they're aiming hin
(01:15:02):
they win a comp the next year. That's when you
know he's a good coach.
Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
He has been giving me a lot of.
Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Liverpool Monopoly set some sort of record last year, finished
tenth four coaches in twelve months, wow, and now sitting
first with three games to go. So conti, conti is good?
I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Very good coach.
Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
Sorry, I I went crazy on that.
Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
We can't judge a better Yeah, based on this season.
So what what's the three to one for that one?
Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Which game was it? Again? Just joking? Fletcher Sharp got
three points, Leo Thompson too, and James Schiller got one point.
He ran two hundred and fifty three meters.
Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
I forgot to mention Thompson. He's good. He's good and
he's going to be good next year as well. For
the Dogs, Gus can pick them. He's a good one.
Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, someone someone runs through the next game.
Warriors thirty, Cowboys twenty six. Tell us another quints?
Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Lad there you give it to us.
Speaker 6 (01:16:17):
For it was so hard? It was yeah, like no
one Queen's I am. I really like Warriors except when
they're Queens Ante because the fans are just brutal. And
I felt it in my soul because like you know,
(01:16:38):
med'sair and she's like, this is what's happening. I'm like,
oh my god, it was such a close, close game,
and I'm just again, I'm trying to see if there
was any do we have any injuries out for Cowboys?
They played so well at the beginning, like absolutely like
it was amazing at the beginning.
Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
How they was a half time schooliety, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
It was well, I've got twenty eight twelve for Warriors.
Warriors were up twenty eight twelve man.
Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Yeah, the Warriors played pretty pretty well, Tea on this one.
Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
I it was brilliant, like.
Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
He always is. Yes, drinking drinking was drinking was very good.
Didn't always always. He's good, love child, perdue, just keep impressing.
Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Yeah, he freaks me out. The size of him freaks
me out. I still a con't believe his he's great anyway, George.
Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
No, no, no, no, And and of course, of course the
forward pack, the forward pack, Tea. Uh, the nan. I
you know what, when he got dropped, he could have
either taken his bat and ball and gone home, but
you know what, he didn't, and he returned and he's outstanding.
(01:17:58):
I i't wait to see him the Maroon. I'm around Jersey.
He's that good. He's been playing that good. So look,
they didn't play bad. But what happens in over eighty
minutes they fall in and out of concentration. So if
you have eight minutes or falling out of concentration, this
(01:18:20):
Warriors team can take advantage before you're not. You look
up your fourteen meal down.
Speaker 6 (01:18:26):
The minute Metcalf scored his second.
Speaker 5 (01:18:28):
Try past so well it's not. Yeah, he played Metcalf
not only with his running game, with his kicking game.
He kicked the life out of this this this Cowboys team.
And I'm a fan of the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys.
Jason Tamalela, he's going to tell us he reigned over
(01:18:50):
two hundred meters. He's back at it. He's back at
his brilliant best. Yeah, he's back. He just he's carrying
this team or this four pack to victory at his
man again, Ruben Cotter, He's going to look good in
them around Jersey because he deserves it. But let me
tell you this, this Warriors team, I'm seeing habits which
(01:19:17):
they've got themselves into, which are good habits, which are
very repeatable, and they keep on repeating them. And when
you've got Metcalf kicking the life out of Metcalf kicking
the life out of the ball and getting the Cowboys
starting from there from their dirty ball coming out, it's
(01:19:40):
they're looking good. And I always said that I want
I want the Warriors to do well because they're carrying
the whole country. So well we have I should, I should.
We've got half of the ky guys in the anyway.
Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
The whole game, George, I did actually.
Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
You know what, I watched it, not live, I watched
it afterwards, and I actually got a little bit bored. Yeah,
I did say that.
Speaker 6 (01:20:16):
And then he just and the Persian that was there
was some brilliant tries, that is right.
Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
Yeah, the whole Yeah, the whole the whole day, the
whole day. We'll talk about a Tigers. We'll talk about
a Tigers try too, which was which was quite impressive.
But look, you know what, thirty to twenty six. I
don't think the score told us the full story, but
I was going to give us three to one. And
(01:20:42):
the Warriors move on to the next week. The the Cowboys,
they're not far away. They're not playing terrible, playing terrible team. Yeah, yeah,
they're not playing terrible tea. They're not playing terrible, but
they have got themselves into into a bad habit of
having lapses. They're coming back at the end, you know
(01:21:04):
what I mean. Which is a habit I think is.
Speaker 6 (01:21:06):
A habit at the moment. I think.
Speaker 5 (01:21:10):
Must be the weather too.
Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
You know, and out of the two young Rigade coaches,
these two of my favorite. I love Webster and I
love Peyton. I think they've done tremendous jobs. This game
was a pretty good game. Game of to halves. Luke
Metcalf got the three points. I thought the winger tell
Lagi was fantastic. I thought really good. He's a very
good winger. He's very No one speaks much of this guy,
but this guy is a very very good winger. And
(01:21:35):
he'll be in Origin again. He will be the first pick,
I think. And the other guy who could be end
up being one of the best buyers is Aeron Clark.
He ran another two hundred meders. This guy plays at
Locke came from the Titans, playing so well for the Warriors.
This Eron Clark, keep an eye on him. The lock
is a very hero. He's an unsung hero again. He
ran over two hundred meders and really plain well that's all, you.
Speaker 5 (01:21:58):
Know what, he's no nonsense the player. So he's got
a highlight, real player. But when you look at his stats,
you say, how how did he do two hundred and
twenty and forty five tackles? You know, these are the
players where that the teammates appreciate him.
Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Yeah, that was right.
Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
Okay, the next game, I'm going to tell you, oh,
twelve points turn around.
Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
I was going to Okay, what happened, Jameson.
Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
What happened was Jaden Sewer. He watched the Dolphins game
and he saw Raystone drop the ball over the line,
all right, and he said, hold my beer, I'm going
to make this trial look even worse. And he did,
and he did what an idiot?
Speaker 5 (01:22:49):
Like idiot?
Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
At least at least his Stone had a player hit
the ball out of his arm. Jaden Sawer had his
own knee hit it out of his own arm, like what?
And anyway, what a turnarout.
Speaker 5 (01:23:01):
I've seen some bad ones, lady, but that one takes.
Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
The turnaround from sixteen. I know, from twenty to sixteen
a half time it would have been. It ended up
being twenty six ten, massive difference. It changed everything. But
good on the Tigers. They had a turbulent week a
couple of weeks ago. They've won two on the trot
golden point win against the Sharks. They raced out to
twenty six to ten win over the Dragons at halftime
(01:23:24):
and continued with it so George looked like they were
going to get something, but then it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
It's funny, Sorry off just for a second, because you
say Tigers have had a couple of good wins, They've
had a couple of good weeks, and you go back
to last week and I'm not knocking them, and it
sounds like I am. You go back to last week.
In the NRLL, the issue is stayed into Cranala saying
you were ripped off. Golden point time the Tigers charged
(01:23:50):
down a field goal, the marker wasn't square. Cranela should
have been penalized in front of the post, which would
have given him the win. You look here, a ridiculous error,
likely could have had a different outcome. Yeah. Sometimes you
know what I've always said, sometimes it's better to be
lucky than good.
Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
You get that luck, you've got to be close in
the game. If I flogged after losing twenty points and
they got that little bit of luck, they still would
have lost. But for them to be you know what,
But you know what, at the end of the day,
they won the game. That they're in the top eight,
which is good to see. I love seeing Dewey. He's
playing more games this year. He's had a torrid couple
(01:24:31):
of years. Good to see him back. But yeah, they're
playing like they've got a lot of harmony. Terror May
has got to be the buye of the season. If
that guy is not the bye of the season.
Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Another rooster screw up in recruits time.
Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
That's a big time screw up. But phenomenal play. Maybe
that was a wake up call he needed. Maybe tar
May needed the Rusters to do that to him to
bring out his best because he's been fantastic. But Charlie
Staines looked like an absolute legend out there because Tyrrel Sloane.
I have defended him as much as I can. I've
just given up on this guy now. That was the
worst performance and I just can't. We can't do it anymore.
(01:25:08):
Defense is terrible. He just has there.
Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
His mate is not.
Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
I've never been too much of a fan of Suley.
It's just a battering ram. He will get you the meters,
but anything else.
Speaker 5 (01:25:20):
And can I say something. I think the wrong half
was dropped because nepotism. I went through that in the
ninety Oh yeah, for sure had the dog because your
name is the same name as the coach. You shouldn't
have a you shouldn't have the you should have a
first grade job. And I think they've dropped I think
they've dropped the wrong half. But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
They have please take your Arthur.
Speaker 5 (01:25:41):
But thet you.
Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Now the pleasing thing that came out of this for
Saint George fan the three best players on the field
with Stewart's coachman and and what's his name? Dylan Egan?
Dylan Egan was fantastic and this year and this week
they're promoting pacifica Tonga another junior to play in the
front row and the halfback like in Kingtogia. I thought
(01:26:04):
that first try that he set up was pure class.
This guy is going to be a really good player.
So our juniors are outshining the old guys. Alwer what's
his name, Val Holmes looked that Cay he'scored a nice
try when he went through and and got over. But
the other guys cold. He he's not using him properly.
(01:26:25):
Mate Little is giving him too much time on the field.
He's burning him out and then he's bringing a little
into late. He needs to sort of balance out a
little bit more it's a good combination to have those
two little and cook. But he's not using it right
and again's starting to show a few little cracks man,
and we're starting to get sick of it. But that's
all from me. Member, what do you have? You guys,
got anything else you want to add on this?
Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
Think pongy, leave him, just leave him developed?
Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
They got it developed there.
Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
Thirty four, twenty eight. I think he flattered you. I
think it's called flattered you. I think he's and and
I'm not going to go too much about the tigers,
but bullot uh, well, he's he's a superstar. He's going
to be He's going to be even more of a
(01:27:14):
superstar that we think he is. He's so good, he's
so good.
Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Did you notice something though? Not only did Suer drop
the ball over the line, it bounced perfectly into the
arms of bullet have to say, here you go, school son,
and he just picked it.
Speaker 6 (01:27:28):
Up and just Ray got the video of slow mo.
I think Coraig gone, I know, to the bathroom, want
to get a beer or something. And I had to
video it because he wasn't going to see it and
I couldn't remind it. And the slow mo is even worse.
Speaker 5 (01:27:44):
Worse when it happened and Buller went the other way
to call the trug no call it back. No, no,
no way in the world. No the off find nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
He points, he goes what what what?
Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
My god. First thing I thought about, I think he's.
Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
The boys When he went over. I went to get
a drink and I'm coming back and they going, hey
are you? I go what what can go wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
And I'll look back and I can see Buller running.
Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Never again.
Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
It's funny, like because when I first came, my master
was talking about Buller and then they didn't use him much. Well,
I don't know something happened last year, but when I
was watching that, I was literally I was like, I
was like, poor Ardie because that and you know the commentators.
I love them because is like God during magic around.
They're wild, the commentators, and I said that the same
(01:28:40):
as Origin. They were just like just unleashed. Hey, like
because I came back and they're like, oh, look at him,
just trying to regain himself and tryumph and I was like,
just stop, it's so bad. They're like, we have never
seen this ever in.
Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
This I've said it before. It's a show call, Benny Hill,
that's what you said. Honestly, Benny Hill, I'm telling you,
it was like it was the worst because Terel may
gets three points, made three points. Dylan Egan, he continues
(01:29:19):
to impress fantastic. He was the only guy that was
chasing bull of hard enough. Sloane just gave up. I
don't know why, but Egan showed a lot of heart
and Buller got the one point for that.
Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
He played really well all games. So that's three to
one for me.
Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
Okay and Sunday, the Titans George Dogs back to their
winning ways thirty eight points to eighteen over the Gold Coast.
Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
Started off like a yeah, started off like a house
on fire, and they and they then they started racking
up some points back end of the first half. Really
lost their way, really lost their way. Now I know
why the Titans weren't mentally mentally there, because obviously behind
(01:30:02):
closed doors things were things were happening. Obviously, they came back,
they came back on the coach obviously had had had
a talk talk to him, and they got back into
the swing of things and they started playing that physical
style of of of of of defense and and moving
(01:30:23):
the ball like they do. Uh, the fours moving into
each other, Serve and Crichton. If you want to see
I sent, I centered how I said I should play
the modern day game. It was therefore all to see
on on Sunday afternoon, Nicola Uh and the whole team
in general played well. I don't have too much hope
(01:30:46):
for the week coming up because there are injury and
suspension plagued. But against the Titans, and again I'm not
going to talk too much about the Titans because I
thought they're awful besides Tino. But we know why now
because there's obviously things going in the background which they
can't handle. But the eight for a that's about right,
(01:31:11):
That's about right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Yeah, well three to one for that one mate was
Connor Tracy and nearly got three hundred murders in that game.
He was pretty good, Connor Tracy, Jacob Preston. Unfortunately, the
guy's got four weeks off now because of that lad
shot or the high shot and big t famous. He
was outstanding for a losing team.
Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
I'm surprised you didn't give anything to Stephen Crichton.
Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
Sorry, man, I'm to be honest. I'm going to change it.
I'm happy to change it.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Stephen Crion, It's just become default now. He had a
bully game. He was one of those crazy one of
those tries he set up where he went to fake
a kick but he passed it to his reer. He's
just such a good player. But man, lose the haircut
seriously hard to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Let's just override, ride my normise on that one and
give him the three points then reckon.
Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I think all he's a good looking guy too, right,
Stephen Cory just needs to He just needs to walk
into any hairdresser and just say help me. That's all
he needs to say. Trust me. So some of the
penrith thirty two points to eight over the Broncos. Obviously
(01:32:27):
very disappointing Bronco side at home. Nathan Cleary apparently has
played his way into Origin again. I mean one good
game in eight so, I don't know what do you
guys think?
Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
How freaky was that try scored? It was literally identical
to the one he scored in the Grand Final. It
was amazing. Did you see it where he just no?
Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
I did? I did? I did? I just I'd like
to see a few back to back performances like that
before he gets put into an Origin team, when he
come into winning, Yeah, the team.
Speaker 6 (01:33:03):
Before I think it's I just feel like, one, it's
pretty rough, like they eat Broncos usually play on the
last day because obviously it's our home ground. Despite how
good the ground looked, it was shredded if you look up.
Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Close, it was it was reterfed twice.
Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
And plus like the you know the g output were
they second last game two, so you've got nerves and
everything else like they had outside of Ricky, they had
the same team as previously. But I just feel like,
you know, it was and someone said to me after
and I did feel bad. I was talking to Nicky
(01:33:44):
about it, but they're like, you know, I knew Broncos
with lose And I'm like, mate, don't talk to me
about Broncos. Like, you know, we always played badly against Panthers.
I'm like, we have beaten them eight times or seven
times every time at every meeting. It is just a
different environment, right, Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not
excusing Broncos that are terrible, but that kind of environment,
(01:34:09):
like they're the second or second last game of the round.
There's just a lot of stuff going on in that
that thing. But yeah, I just I wish Panthers didn't
do that win against the Broncos. Yeah, that was very
diffic like they I don't know if you guys noticed
the further the games were along and rougher they've got.
(01:34:30):
The next thing I'll talk about was the biggest biff overall.
But it was just yeah, it was just rough.
Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Fine.
Speaker 5 (01:34:39):
You know what's intriguingitana if you go if you compare
points for and against and the points on the table
from last year and this year, it's nearly exactly the same.
It mirrors. It mirrors both seasons, which I found, Yeah,
I found an intrigued The s said that I didn't
do it myself. I will, I haven't got time to
(01:35:01):
the end apparently leaving the forum against I think he's
a few points different.
Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
And the point that I didn't think they'd let that
much in last year.
Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
I thought, I thought earlier in the year they'll better
at the back end last year day they faded, I thought.
But my memory is like.
Speaker 6 (01:35:22):
That's why I was saying. I compared it to last year,
magic round and similar like this, but not just Broncos
just every every single one, and you know I still
remember because every Magic round the Lions win for AFL
Brisbane line. So that's the only thing I take is
a win because they won last year. Yeah, this was
(01:35:47):
just a it was rough and I hope Madge just
as a bit of a I don't know, a reassessment.
I don't know if you saw Addie because we didn't
talk about it in controversial corner, but ma'am has gone
down to Q Cup as well because he got booed
so loud. I heard it through the TV's.
Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
M Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 9 (01:36:08):
Yeah, in terms of in terms of looking looking overlooking
both teams, in terms of the Broncos, like I said,
they can't play have a forty minutes like they did
two weeks ago and do this.
Speaker 5 (01:36:23):
So it's obviously something between the years which Madge has
got to bring out. He's got to sort of bring
out of him, which he's probably Yeah, he's probably the
right coach for that. So look the preordinary unfortunately.
Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
In the Grand Final because they're not prepared that particular
team and not prepared for a Grand Final, like they're
not prepared for these big games. Because he's like I know,
it's magic around, but it's every single team in Queensland,
like Movie coming up to Brisbane. Like, I don't feel
like the Broncos can handle the pressure. They crumb under it.
(01:37:00):
If we look back in previously, well the.
Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
Good thing is we're only round nine and not not
round you know, twenty whatever, So there's still plenty of time.
Speaker 6 (01:37:11):
If they win on the fifth worst case, but still
like that's plenty of Yeah, it's plenty of time.
Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
There's plenty of time to because because the bones of
a good team is undoubtedly there. We thought it. We
saw forty minutes of perfection two weeks ago. Two weeks ago,
forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
We were talking about that before you, before you joined
the My response with the Asua man doing things, wait
till the scouse to try. Yeah, and you watch the
crowd flip.
Speaker 5 (01:37:39):
Yeah, no, no, no doubt about it, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
But about a couple of weeks ago that played for
Broncos and he went to South as.
Speaker 5 (01:37:47):
Well, South Logan.
Speaker 6 (01:37:49):
Yeah, there's someone was talking about he used to be.
Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
It wasn't.
Speaker 6 (01:37:54):
Milford, it was it was someone else. But he'll be.
I need to look at the lot I might go
see him play.
Speaker 10 (01:38:04):
His logan clothes, just like talking about yeah, yeah, but no,
we were talking about that artie because when Meg was
at the game, she was like, fire, did you hear
that boot?
Speaker 6 (01:38:17):
Like when they panned over his face, and Reynolds is saying,
you know, it's not fair of us to put him
back in straight away now that these bands lifted. But
also they probably want to just test him out on her.
Speaker 5 (01:38:30):
Oh, you've got to have some games in the reggies.
Give him a run in the regie. He'll be back.
Give him, he'll be He'll be on the bench in
terms of score.
Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Was Clive Churchill winner three years ago?
Speaker 5 (01:38:44):
Oh no, he'll'll be back on the bench And in
the next month. Is that that about it?
Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Sorry? Just what I want to do that is it's
I think people are more upset about the Israelm thing,
about the punishment more than about him. What he did
was a stuff far everyone's more and he's wearing the
brunt of it. So at the end of the day,
then I rolling down. They should have just been anything,
thank you, And the next year when he comes back,
no one would say I think that's okay. He served
(01:39:10):
his for months, that's it for nine weeks. That's what
it's coppled so much.
Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
On the problem is that they actually all went heavier
than the law exactly. So it's you can almost like,
I don't agree with the punishment, but you can almost
defend them for saying, well, how can you go heavier
than the law? Like he should be aligned right, and
the law went off on him.
Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
Think about oh man, he was clear, he didn't even
have anything with the law, and he got two and
a half years and this guy is getting nine weeks.
Terrible anyway, Sorry.
Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
He got, he got, you didn't get. He got a
clap on the wrist.
Speaker 3 (01:39:54):
I'll say it again. High on cocaine, driving a car
with no license, it's unready to smashes into another car.
And he gets one week more than calling someone a monkey. Yeah,
think about.
Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
That's what That's not one mistake, Nick, that's fourth again.
Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
Registered, you're a monkey. I'll see you next year. Assistency
whatsoever with this with this judiciary? Yes, it's sorry with
the n r L themselves, and then and then, and
then you've got the situation with sorry off. Then you've
(01:40:36):
got the situation with the other idiot what's his name, Spanner,
Spencer Len you right, and Jonathan Thurston where he goes
up to Jonathan Thurston and the n r L says,
we won't investigate it because neither clubs has submitted a complaint.
Will you stick you those in everything else that happens,
and they had an invitation, why can't you intervene in
(01:40:56):
this and say, hey, mate, you're an idiot. You put
the game into district on Life Television?
Speaker 6 (01:41:02):
You know, yeah, I think I think it. What it
is the issue with Man's is one year up and
coming to you know, he obviously divided a lot of
people with the monkey comment and everything else being called
that and response to that, three on drugs for no
license and five hitting a family like.
Speaker 5 (01:41:26):
And yeah, a.
Speaker 6 (01:41:27):
Family that was in an uber. So they're traveling in
the most safest way, safest way possible whatever. I feel
like if I was and the clubs never do it.
We've spoken of us before I was his PR person,
I'd have been like, get in front of this and
have a conversation now. So if you're taking nine weeks,
you actually volunteerily take six months or whatever. Take the
season yourself. And even when I saw him in that
(01:41:49):
first moment, we're into Lombar. He didn't engage. You know,
he didn't engage with anyone where. Really you need to
get funny.
Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
It may it may have been strug not to I
don't know. They probably want to keep him away from
the public.
Speaker 6 (01:42:04):
He's the one that's going to suffer because now, mister present,
there's no leadership.
Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
There's no there's no leader. There's no leadership. Like. One
thing I don't stand for is when people say this
guy's are full time pros, right, you know, I know
he's only twenty years old. There's any twenty one years old.
All the all the George You've got a mute button there,
all the all the stupid ship that we did when
(01:42:38):
we were twenty years old. We knew exactly what we
were doing. They're not idiots, right, you know, you're you're
a professional athlete. You know he's on television every week,
You're on life television every week, and you go and
do that three or four dumb things in one one
combined rolled up dumb thing. Right. But again again, you know,
(01:43:01):
I've got a call out. He got one week more
than the guy who called him a monkey. Yeah, right,
and the law and I will penalized him harsher than
what the courts did. That's the hot mess that we
live in here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:43:16):
If I was his manager, I would have been like,
take you take the heat, you take six months, you
do whatever you get out there, you do an apology
an around that one hundred and four grand that you're
taking as a fine fifty grand and that's going to
the family, thank you very much, because I don't know
what family got in that sense, probably insurance or whatever.
For me, I don't know. I like you guys see
it the same way. But it would have appeased a
(01:43:39):
lot more people that instead of him waiting to get punished,
he actually punished himself. And then he did, he did
an actual pr you know, because he still didn't talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
And I just think, and I'm not comparing the two
for one second. They get me wrong, but you look
at the Galvin situation. All it takes. People got short
memories in this game, right, he comes back, he plays
a month later, it's all forgotten.
Speaker 6 (01:44:03):
If they're playing well, I think it's Galvin did not
get a full crowd booing at him at all.
Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
But watch that crowd flip when he's winning games for them.
That's why you see the hypocrisy.
Speaker 6 (01:44:17):
When he doesn't though, because this has gotten to his head,
and you know what is something bad happens to him
and his mental health and he hurts himself because all
these people sending death threats and everything else. Everyone will
be like, what should we have done? The ener l
should have done something, his playing manager should have done something.
And this is my whole frustration, not to go into it,
but with Galvin, who's protecting these kids?
Speaker 3 (01:44:37):
Right?
Speaker 6 (01:44:39):
What's the narrative too? What was he going through at
that point to be in that car where he felt
like he should be driving at that point at that
time of day or night.
Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
To be honest, probably just being a hell? Does he
He's probably just been a twenty two year old or
whatever he is assumption.
Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
Yeah, but there's something here that we need to unpack anyway.
But yes, he.
Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
We've all done stupid stuff. We just haven't been pinned
for it at all. Yeah, But anyway, forget about it.
We'll see what happens when he comes back. Have we
done the three to one? We have?
Speaker 5 (01:45:11):
We?
Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
I think George wanted to say a couple of things.
I haven't done the three to one.
Speaker 5 (01:45:16):
We've talked about the Broncos, so we know we're there, right.
They just did a little bit of work. But the
interesting part in this game. In this game was all
about the Panthers. You know, they started up, they started
off clunky, and they gave us the same as they've
(01:45:37):
been giving us for the last six weeks. But as
the game got on, they started looking a bit more
like the Peniff that we know, not not fully not
fully there, but started looking like the Pendriff. I want
to talk about Nathan and and Nicole just said that
(01:46:00):
he's been having an unhappy season and he has he's.
Speaker 3 (01:46:04):
We're going to put angels wings on him now because
he had a good game.
Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
I always want to talk about one, just one thing
about him. He has been having a unhappy season because
he's hips and his shoulders been all over the place
and he's been going sty war was not straight. But
what I saw from this game is he's usually a calm,
cool head, uh and he plays what he sees. But
I saw him playing with the motion and if he
(01:46:31):
if we add emotion in his game him, he might
actually go to another another level. That's that's what your
John's and those type of players. They play with a
lot of emotion. That's the first time in my life
that I've seen him play physically with formation. So as
(01:46:52):
we say he's either an E or C, imagine being both.
And that's the laws. Yeah, so that's what I thought.
And that's only a glimpse, and he might not be
there again, but obviously there's something different about him on
the day, and he and he dragged and and and
(01:47:13):
everybody felt in the team, everybody felt felt that and
and came along with him, and and that's what happened
here and and again. I hope he continues, but who
knows what his pende of team. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (01:47:27):
You could probably contribute a large portion of that to
the Broncos performance as well. They scored eight points.
Speaker 5 (01:47:34):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
That was terrible. They didn't that was terrible. They played
pretty much, so it was interesting. We'll see how you
guys against the Cowboys in Townsville this weekend. But I
just want to see I'm not I reckon he's fantastic.
I'm not knocking him. The one area where I do
knock him is that he does he has he has
not done it at rep level yet and that's what
(01:47:59):
we're all wing four.
Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
Yeah, but I heard that argument the other day and
I can't understand how some people have got Mitch Moses,
who's won an Origin series but never won a final
Grand final, and clear he has won three Grand final
He's been in five Grand finals and won four, Yet
he's not talked as much as Moses like they've got
Moses ahead of him. Where I think it's harder to
win four Grand finals than playing an orangin series.
Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
And one matters when you're picking a team for a
three game series, right, you're picking on form. You're picking
on current form, and don't forget how many Origins is
clearly played.
Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
It doesn't matter how many Mitch has been in a
good paramount system where they've had a window where they
should have won grand finals. One one shame me.
Speaker 3 (01:48:40):
A highlight of the Nathan Cleary Origin moment.
Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
I don't know. I've got to say it. I cn't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
I haven't seen one, Arthur. That's why you don't know
how many games does he played for your South Wales.
Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
I don't pay that much attention to origins.
Speaker 6 (01:48:52):
This is as much as how many games as he played.
Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
I'm going to look at it right now.
Speaker 6 (01:48:56):
I don't know if this is a trick question because
I just flake out when I see also the police.
Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
But if you played during the Fitler series, well, you
know we had a guy named Hayes Heinz who was
absolutely destroyed during the Philer periods. You know, he did
destroy a lot of careers or a lot of He's
played how many let's.
Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
Have a look here.
Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
Said half before him. It was hard before Cleary. Anyway,
Well you're looking or do the three two? One? Nathan
clearly got the three. Thomas Jenkins got the two. He
played really well that kid and Luke Garner the other center.
I thought he was otional. I thought it was really
good playing in the Senate. He's a backroller.
Speaker 6 (01:49:41):
Yeah, should have gotten just a nice pat on the
on the back for one scoring that only try and
to not dropping the ball. He didn't drop the ball.
She's like, I know, and we lost him.
Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
It's going to be interesting with Hunt when man comes back.
Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
Well what they do so before twenty four obviously he
didn't play last year. He's played in fourteen Origin games.
How many years is that? And we don't have one
standout highlight from him? Fourteen games fourteen appearances, one seven
and last seven. If you remember last year what Moses
(01:50:25):
did in game two, that's four years and then what
he did in game three.
Speaker 2 (01:50:30):
Yeah, I'm not doubting Moses head a blinder. I'm not
saying clear He's had four Grand Finals and starring.
Speaker 3 (01:50:37):
None of that matters in three weeks, right, none of
that matters in three weeks. But my point is, you know,
you know it's going to be the unlucky one here
if they're all fit. Is Jerome Luai. Yeah, I know
he'll be dropped. He'll be dropped. I don't do it wrongly,
He'll be dropped.
Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
I agree with that. But to me, Peter Sterling, to
me is one of the best halves. And I can't
remember a good origin highlight, but I can remember him
playing for Paramountic absolutely, and that's clearly likely, clearly as
the guns you know.
Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
On YouTube then, because there's quite a few origin highlights.
Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Yeah, of slow, Yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
I got I always I always joke with George. I
always joke with George because the first series in News
ever wonty five, Steve Motimer.
Speaker 5 (01:51:24):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
Broun.
Speaker 3 (01:51:26):
I remember George said to me, Steve more than I said. Yeah,
but Bret Kenny scored the match winning tray.
Speaker 5 (01:51:31):
He did, did, did and slow the best half back.
But why can't Why can't be the best half back
in the game. I'm just saying I believe he's the
best back in the game.
Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
I'm saying it should be picked on form, right, and
yeah and again again. If you look at his last
two games compared to Cleary's last, how many six he's
played this year? Five he's been into the first couple
of first game, missed the first six.
Speaker 5 (01:52:01):
You know, I mean it is the best half back
in the game. Yeah, I said that last year. I
said it. I say now, as a half back.
Speaker 3 (01:52:11):
In Origin, you're going to have those big moments. You've
got to you know, we've seen.
Speaker 6 (01:52:18):
I don't think I can talk to you guys during
Origin because you haven't experienced it yet.
Speaker 5 (01:52:22):
What I'm like, that's good, that's good. I want to
experience that. I want to experience it. I want to
see passion. You know what, besides besides escapism tea when
it comes to Origin, I mean, I think I want
to I hate the coach that we've got. I'm thinking
we're going to lose three and but once you get
(01:52:44):
once we get into the swinger thing, well, there's nothing
more of it than I want to win. So it's
good to see emotion. It's good. It's good to seemotion,
and even it's good talking about players. It's it's all,
it's all, it's all emotions. So it's great. It's fantastic.
There's no half feeling. It's good.
Speaker 6 (01:53:00):
Even already people were like, you know, because Broncos took
the new South Wales coach, new South Wales isn't going
to win. I'm like, you guys just need to play better.
Speaker 3 (01:53:12):
That's not that's not why we won't win. It's if
we don't win it because Lori Daily is a coach
and I like Daily right, Like he's one of my
favorite players of these one like the camera team is
one of one of my all time the eighties, early
nineties man, along with the early nineties Broncos team. Watching
(01:53:33):
them play team have like what you know what players
was a great player? Yeah right, Wayne Peace was a
great player, Terry Lamb was a great player. How many
of them succeeded as coaches?
Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
Yeah, I'm releasing the list, mhm, looking.
Speaker 3 (01:53:55):
Everyone for yet it's Terry Lamb and Wayne Peace coaches
West Tiliers too, right.
Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
Yeah, terrible look Daily coached during the Queensland Golden Period, so.
Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
I think I think it was more about that he
didn't take risks.
Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
Yeah, no, but I'm just saying that Bellamy coached during
that period as well and lost. He was awful as
well in Origin series and look at he was he was,
So we can't judge Daily on I'm playing against the
world class Queensland team. Maybe he won't surprise us.
Speaker 3 (01:54:27):
It's fair to say that surely he's learned his lessons
and should come in with a different approach this time.
Speaker 5 (01:54:32):
But the team is set out, it's basically incumbents.
Speaker 3 (01:54:38):
I just I personally think that, let's say, theoretically, for
argument's sake, if Nathan Cleary has two average games in
the next two weeks, as long as his fit, he'll
be the number seven. Yeah, as long as his fit,
he'll be the sixth. Could be mad in the match
the next two weeks, won't get picked, Yeah, probably, when
(01:55:01):
really it should probably be unless clearly does that again
the next week or two what he did last weekend, Right,
it should probably be Moses and Law and the funny
thing is that now you've got people like Andrew John's
saying the same thing now, and now the media is
starting to say it, whereas everyone was too scared it
was taboo before. No, no, no, clearly he's got to
(01:55:23):
be there. Yeah, yeah, she's been quite anyway. Can we
get a three two one on this game?
Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
We did?
Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
We did a clear golden.
Speaker 6 (01:55:39):
I didn't drop the ball, so he deserves somethin from me, said.
Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
Hm, what did you say?
Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
You didn't drop the ball, so he deserved one point
from me?
Speaker 3 (01:55:51):
Drop the ball?
Speaker 6 (01:55:55):
That This next game was.
Speaker 10 (01:55:56):
Wildrazy crazy someone, so I can.
Speaker 5 (01:56:03):
Best game of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
Yeah, do you want me to go through it?
Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:56:07):
Please please?
Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
Game of the round? All right, Game of the round.
What a thrilling finish. And just when we thought the
Bunker was not going to call any controversy that waited
for the last minute of magic ground to go, here
we go. I'm going to win a team agame for enough.
So it was fourteen to twelve a half time, both
scoring two tries each, Melbourne in the first half of
(01:56:29):
the half and the Raiders in the back end of
the first half. Second half was just fruition. They was
just going at each other and Melbourne got to a
nice eighteen twelve lead until the last minutes where Ko
Weeks does a nice Chip and Chase I love that play,
that's always my favorite and scores. It was like Billy
Slater style in the ground in the Origin game. It
(01:56:49):
was that top of Chip and Chase try, great try.
But the only thing that I really felt so for
at the end of this game was I would have
hated to be Stefano and Lierro going to It's Bellamy
in the.
Speaker 3 (01:57:01):
Dressing room game.
Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
Yeah, he would have tort shreds out of him. He
was right, but camera to their credit, mate, never give up.
Last week the up twenty eight ten down against Dolphins
and ended up beating him forty to twenty eight, and
this week they did the same.
Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (01:57:18):
This team is the most They're not the green machine.
They're the excitement machine because they are exciting to watch
and they've got a lot of young players. They've got
what's his name, Taperay who's leading first year. I think
his captain and his leadership is fantastic. But they're just
football and the youngsters are just outstanding.
Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
So what's interesting about Melbourne because they're probably still the
Premiership favorites. But yeah, how many games this year and
I know we're going off you know I'm being finicky here, right,
how many times this year if they lost the second half?
Speaker 5 (01:57:52):
Yeah, that's the mental issue. Yeah, it's a habit. It's
a habit that got into.
Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
I mean the they walloped Parramatta in Round one, but
they lost the second half. We all know what happened
against the Dolphins. It happened in this game, and I'm
sure it's happened in one or two others. You know
what it is to we're Melbourne Leary at halftime.
Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
I can't and I think Sir George were but not
missing Harry Grant and they're missing I don't reckon Jerome Sorry,
Jerome Hughes is one hundred percent. He's been Yeah, I
wouldn't be surprised if he's playing Bustard. They don't look
like they are one hundred percent some of these players,
so maybe that might be the issue. But I've never
seen the Storm be so hot and cold. Hey like
(01:58:32):
lose one day. It's really.
Speaker 3 (01:58:36):
Because I for one thought they were going to finish
pretty game. But they do pretty well.
Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
Yeah, they are, they're really good, good to watch.
Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
This week.
Speaker 2 (01:58:47):
Sorry, what were saying?
Speaker 6 (01:58:48):
What did you guys think about the win? Like Kistorm
thought they won and it was brought back.
Speaker 2 (01:58:55):
The field goals. Yeah, well it was the right decision
in the end because it was stupid. It was was
on the elbows. I don't know what the era was
deciding to do, and it was a stupid thing to do.
But it's controversial. I don't know. Maybe that was. But
one thing you've got to give credit to. We've got
the Raiders playing the Dogs this week. Right now, the
Dogs have only played one or two teams in the
(01:59:16):
top six and they got builted by Broncos the Raiders, right,
They've beaten the Warriors, the Broncos of Seagulls, the Cows
and the Sharks and now the Storm. So the Raiders
are just doing everything right at the moment. They're the
full team. They're beaten the teams at the top, you
know what I mean, Whereas the Dogs are beating all
the teams at the bottom and lost to a couple.
They're going to be the Sharks. Maybe they might not
(01:59:37):
might do a similar thing the Sharks.
Speaker 3 (01:59:39):
That's what I've got my foot in my mouth because
I honestly thought Camber wouldn't. I thought they just drop off.
Speaker 2 (01:59:44):
It's so impressive, it's unbelievable. I know George is hanging
add stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:59:53):
Stylistically. So I really enjoyed this game because both both
teams or no Canberra went to win the ruck they had.
They had to take the ruck away from from the
storm because that's where the storm. Everything starts from the
(02:00:13):
ruck and all the penalties, the Stefano penalty that it
was all battling Stalin is unbelievable. He's he's a little
terrier and he's been doing it for a month or
more now to win that ruck. So that battle was
intriguing for me. The pulling, the the the all the locks,
(02:00:36):
all those things, all the famous Melbourne tricks that are
all out but guess what the Raiders were doing it
back to them, So it was intriguing. It was intriguing
this team. There's a lot of this Raiders team. They
get into some habits which which are long lasting, and
they're getting some good habits. They're always in the fight.
They're not pretty to watch, they've got their own style,
(02:00:57):
but they're always in that bloody fight. So you've got
to shoot the baskets to get rid of them. I mean,
they're not going to go away. They're going to be
hanging around. Maddie Nicholson.
Speaker 3 (02:01:07):
For all his.
Speaker 5 (02:01:08):
Defaults in defense, he's got a beautiful little pop. He
can stand and pop. So if hats and young can't
get it done, like he didn't do it. He was
very good, but he didn't break the line. Maddie Nicholson
that that little pop which brought care weeks into the
game with that with that run was absolutely stunning. There's grit,
(02:01:30):
there's grinding his team and they're going to keep on improving.
I think now where it's going to take us at
the end of the year, I don't I'm not sure.
I don't know, but let me tell you there's something brilling,
there's something brewing in the Green Jersey this year, and
I can't wait to see where it takes us. They're big,
they're physical, they're young, they're fast, and I loved it.
(02:01:54):
I loved every every second. Yeah, I loved every second
of it. I really did the storm. Like we said,
they've got themselves into a into a bit of a
habit of starting like a house on fire, then just
putting their foot off the gas. It's a habit. It's
a habit which which I'm sure John Chris will get
them out. And in terms of the penalties, John Crest
(02:02:17):
is right, and that's why they got to spray. You
don't have the ball in your possession and you give
penalties away, you just don't. You just don't. And guess
what those two penalties. The other reason is they lost
the game. Yeah, and they lost the ruck. But they
will get that will get fixed by when Harry Grant
comes back. That will be sort sorted out. And I
(02:02:38):
think I think Art is right regarding the halfback Hughes.
There's something wrong. He's not the person. He can't be
Arty because he's not the person he was. Pap and
House it just lights things up, doesn't He just lights
it up. I love watching I really love watching Pap
(02:02:58):
and Uh what's that young winger? That habit that you
put and uh, Pate House, Yeah, he's he's so good,
he's so good.
Speaker 2 (02:03:18):
It was George Player was No, I'm talking wou is
a gun?
Speaker 5 (02:03:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
I think I think it isn't he Yeah? I think so.
Just trying to put him in anywhere now, just but
he's very good.
Speaker 5 (02:03:30):
Special Nicola, I really, really really enjoyed this game. He
had be on on the edge of feet and and
and I like, I liked it for everything around the play,
the battle, the battle of getting the upper hand. Like
I said that ruck, my eyes, my eyes were glued
on the ruck, all the little things I was doing,
the pulling the chicken, with everything. John Crest has pulled
(02:03:54):
out everything to win that ruck. I guesse what didn't
give a flying doing it back, not going it back.
So just this mash on the ground, this massive white It.
Speaker 2 (02:04:04):
Was so good.
Speaker 5 (02:04:06):
I loved them.
Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
How good was that Troy when he just kicked the
division He just knew straight away Pap was there. Kicked
the strain of his hands anyway, three three points to tap.
He was outstanding as captain at far. Logo got the
two points and Ko Weeks it's got the one point
for that game.
Speaker 5 (02:04:22):
He's he's so electric. He reminds me of what's that
in the nineties, Nicola, that that fullback that had he
was a chip and Chase Manta mullin remember him. He
reminds me of Week reminds me a lot of Marlins.
Just burn pace to burn, pace to burn. I love
that game, I should watch the Twyfe. I've already watched
(02:04:44):
the Twyfe.
Speaker 3 (02:04:46):
And mainly had to buy Magic Crown hmhm magic. So
let's get Crystal Wall Cristal.
Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
Before we go to that. I'm going to make a
plead to the inner real please give Saint George the
buy next year for the Magic Ground. We've never won
a game in Magic Ground.
Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I don't think give us the buye.
Speaker 2 (02:05:06):
Please, whoever plays next you guarantee wins. Anyway, next this.
Speaker 5 (02:05:12):
Week coming that against Women's Round, Women's Round, women in League,
women in leagually Round. It's one of my favorite, one
of my favorite rounds because you know, I remember my
mother carted me around at eight o'clock and in the
morning to certain grounds as well. So they do a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:05:28):
They do a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:05:29):
Our moms do a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
They do absolutely another game too and.
Speaker 5 (02:05:36):
Mother's which is even better. There you go, which is
which is even better?
Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
It m'll be talking about women. The women's New South
Wales team thirty to twelve over the Queensland Origin Game one.
That was pretty impressive performance by than yourself Welsh ladies.
Speaker 5 (02:05:49):
The first the first game one. I think the best
is yet to come. I think it's going to get
I don't think I don't think this. I don't think
God will continue to be a yeah, yeah, I think
it was. It was, Yeah, I think that. I think
the third game, which I think is in Queensland now
(02:06:12):
or maybe in Newcastle now, that's going to be the decider.
I can't wait. I can't wait. I really enjoyed it,
mind you can I just say something. The women's game,
it's starting to look more like the men's game. The
rest on the ruck. They're starting to wrestle and they're
starting to do all those things that I hate the men.
The men are doing, and I watched it. I watched
the women's because it was free and open. Now the coaches, obviously,
(02:06:36):
and the and the players are getting that skilled. It
looks a lot like a reel now.
Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
But anyway, George Trish Stratus from w W as their coach.
Speaker 3 (02:06:48):
Whotus George, Wait she is she's from the nineties.
Speaker 11 (02:06:58):
Oh right, okay, still rest get the natal boy back
on before I cut you off to Sorry, No, I.
Speaker 6 (02:07:12):
Was just yeah, I just want to put that last
round behind me for so many reasons.
Speaker 5 (02:07:20):
Your good stuff coming up now, move on.
Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
Let's do our tips, Crystal Ball.
Speaker 2 (02:07:25):
Let's go quickly through these. So we've got the first
game of the round tomorrow night, Eels versus Dolphins Eels.
Same as last week. Marshall king out CAFUSI in, who
do you guys want for this one? So I didn't
do much research on these, sorry, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:07:39):
I was in a rusting So I'm gonna I'm gonna tip.
Speaker 5 (02:07:45):
I think I think at home the Dolphins out of thoughts,
they haven't played bad since miss has been been back.
I think in front of their home crowd, and I
think they the favorites. They'll get the two points.
Speaker 6 (02:08:05):
Yeah, I was thinking Dolphins with and but I was
just thinking of what they're like at home with Races.
Speaker 5 (02:08:11):
Yeah, okay, yeah, Mitch, Mitch Love's playing there, Mitch Love's
playing early, same cround.
Speaker 2 (02:08:17):
I'm going to get Dolphins. I'm going to be different
because I think the Dolphins have been pretty good. Actually,
I thought they unlucky last against the Raiders, and they're
a good team. I reckon they're very underestimated to the Dolphins. Yeah,
so I'm going to still compliment, Yeah, full compliment they are.
They're getting Cafusie back. You'll ruddles and feathers. Anyway, so
three to one. Next game after that Friday night first game,
(02:08:40):
this is a battle of the This is an interesting one.
We got the Knights up against the Titans over at
McDonald's James Stadium. No change for the Knights. Jayden Campbell
Jojo for Feeder. How good our name is? Jojo? I
love that name, but Jojo, what's your thoughts on this one?
Speaker 5 (02:08:59):
Yeah, JoJo's back, but it's in Newcastle teeth. So being
in being in Newcastle and the rumblings we're hearing coming
out from the Titans, and the Knights had their first victory,
and I'm sure they want to pay back their fans
because I can guarantee you the same would be full.
I don't know how much it fits in there, thirty thousand,
(02:09:21):
but it will be full. They're loyal. I'm going to
go Knights nights.
Speaker 2 (02:09:27):
What about you, Tenure?
Speaker 6 (02:09:30):
Oh yeah, I think I'll go nights as well. It's
just too like off that last wind, like and they're
at home side. Note I did say this to Nick,
but Jack Cocker looks like a young Marky mark Orberg,
by the way, watch him crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:09:53):
Goat nights already one after. This is the Rabbit up
against the Broncos. Joe Gray named on the bench, mamozulas
your favorite player. Georgie is out, t Mitchell is back,
Humphreys is back, Ezra Queensland Cup. Pinch me.
Speaker 5 (02:10:14):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Apart from that, pinch.
Speaker 5 (02:10:18):
Me, I'm dreaming Broncos again on the plane coming to Sydney.
But I think from the last week performance the Broncos
might have had an interesting week of training. This week
they still depleted the Rabbits. They like what I'm seeing
from the Rabbits. The Broncos. They're dynamic. If they want
(02:10:40):
to win, they'll they'll win and win.
Speaker 7 (02:10:42):
Will Yeah, I'll go Broncos.
Speaker 3 (02:10:44):
Broncos.
Speaker 6 (02:10:45):
Broncos got Carapani and mardin sweet, so we're.
Speaker 2 (02:10:56):
All going the Broncos. Did our street continue us?
Speaker 3 (02:11:00):
Sweet?
Speaker 2 (02:11:00):
You can everyone that's sick. Okay. Raiders up against the Bulldogs.
This is a cracking game. First for a second, no
changes for the Raiders. Preston out, Matt Burton is back
for the Dogs. Who do you guys like it? That
one Goo Stadium? It's in Canberra. Three o'clock.
Speaker 5 (02:11:23):
Yeah, same, yeah, look after after seeing what the Raiders
are done, they've got the pack to really upset us.
And I know we've got Burton back, but we've still
got a few injuries and we've got a few suspensions.
I'd like to say we're going to win, and if
we can beat we can beat the Raiders, well then
I know we're legitimate. But Rick, you will have these
(02:11:48):
guys at home just eating rural meat. So I just
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (02:11:52):
I go the Raiders as well, Clinton, Sweet home, all
the home team. Oh god, Nick. Game is at Wins Stadium. Now,
we've got Dragons up against the Warriors. Five thirty games Saturday,
six o'clock game, whatever it is. Goola out for the Dragons.
Emu and Logo pacifica Tonga making his debut. Good young kid.
(02:12:14):
This kid is going to go on fire. Brocco Berry
is out for the Warriors.
Speaker 5 (02:12:18):
And.
Speaker 2 (02:12:19):
Rick James. We've got a new nickname for this guys
last time, but now we're calling James. I was going
to say that one, but anyway, so we've got this
one here, which is an interesting game. Now, so George's
record win Stadium is not bad. We've been the Storms
last time there, so yeah, but Warriors different kettle of fish,
who do you like.
Speaker 3 (02:12:39):
I'm going I'm going to dragons.
Speaker 2 (02:12:41):
You're going dragons?
Speaker 3 (02:12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:12:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, playing Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:12:51):
I'm going to give a dragons and.
Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Dragons.
Speaker 5 (02:12:54):
Okay, I'm the only one. ID. I like the habits
that the Warriors have got into. If they if they
show those habits again, Dragons might struggle. The kid that's
coming in he said, he is that that big backroller.
Speaker 2 (02:13:08):
Yeah, this guy's yeah, it's not the kid we saw
in the ridges. Okay, there's a kid in the ridges.
It's absolutely killing it named Nick to Granis. He's a
back rower. But they played in the centers last week
and he absolutely killed it. So he's very good. I'm
going to Warriors. I'm going against the Dragons. I heard
(02:13:29):
which coach said name?
Speaker 3 (02:13:31):
What was his name? Nick?
Speaker 5 (02:13:34):
I was speaking, I was speaking about him.
Speaker 3 (02:13:38):
I was laughing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
I can't remember which coach said up, but he said,
out of all the teams he's played, he reckons. The
Warriors are the hardest team to break down in defense,
and George aren't good at breaking down defenses even the
worst team, So the Warriors for me, I can't say
Saints winning this, but you never know.
Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
We've been I'm going to take a couple of mounts
and I'm taking a punt on the dragons that win. Yeah,
because they're they're kind of week in week out. It's yeah,
it's like they're running across the river. You know, when
you're jumping on the on the stones one you're fall
in the water. It's like, so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (02:14:14):
You know what is nick? The games that you think
they're going to win, they don't. But the ones like
when they lost to beat Melbourne and they beat mainly
a brook Vale, you didn't think that, you know. That's
that's why it's a good call that might happen. Cowboys
are next up against the Panthers. That finishes off Saturday night.
We've got Mitch Kenny out, but you've got no sorry,
(02:14:34):
Mitch Kenny is in. Brian Brian or he's in as well,
and so is Brad Schneider who's on the bench. Sam
McIntyre in for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (02:14:43):
Two inns there for Penrith to only got Cowboys at home.
Speaker 5 (02:14:49):
Yeah, okay, you're going Cowboys, Yeah, holy humorous team would
be a yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
But also just like they played quite well at home
and just after like I reckon everything, team is going
to go hard this week.
Speaker 5 (02:15:07):
Yeah, I'm torn here and ninth playing the fifth, ninth
playing fifteenth. You know what again, what I saw last week?
If they reproduced that form, PENI will win and win
will but can they reproduce that form? I'm going to
go penriff. I'll be the outlier here. But yeah, yeah,
(02:15:28):
I hope they do because, like I said, I love
watching good rugby league, so I'm going pennies.
Speaker 2 (02:15:34):
I'm going to get pennies as well. Mate. I think
it's going to be another soul taken all takers. Starting
off Sunday, we have the Storm Wow up against the
West Tigers. No changes, both teams as they were last week.
Speaker 3 (02:15:49):
So Storm throwing me at the end of the game. Yeah, look,
there was there was one year. There was one a
week before Magic Round. I think I might have said
this a few years.
Speaker 5 (02:16:03):
Ago and happened. Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (02:16:07):
Melbourn had a bad loss. Can who's against In the
press conference? You might remember this, Craig Bella, he said,
I'll replace the whole team before I have to. Nobody's
safe and I said he would, I said, and I
just said ship. We're playing them next week at Magic
Round sixty eight or something. I don't know what it was. Yeah,
(02:16:29):
just you know it's coming. You know when he said
something like that I.
Speaker 6 (02:16:34):
Wouldn't lose a lot this year, Like, yeah, there's just
I've seen his angry face looks I'm going to go Tigers.
That's probably gonna.
Speaker 3 (02:16:45):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:16:49):
They're getting a really good like the you know Galvin's
or playing nice little Galvin like Ryan. Yeah, I don't know,
Taruver's you're buller Bullers then, I don't know. I just
did something's wrong with Storm at the moment.
Speaker 5 (02:17:07):
Yeah, are the Melbourne Melbourne Park or Double am I Park?
After a lot? Can you imagine the top of week
the storm boys have had, I don't think very pleasant
them at three quarter pace the Storm and with that
their best storm work win and win will. Yeah, it'll
(02:17:31):
take them a while, it'll take them while to break
them down, but oh we will. We will.
Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
Big test for the Tigers. But yeah, I'm with you mate,
I'm going for the Storm as well. So we've got
three Storm tenures going the Tigers. And to finish off
of the round, it's a battle of the beaches. We've
got the beach Andy versus the Coronella Sharks. Jason sab
and Jake Trabovich are in the Sharks. We've got Daniel
Atkinson in and Taalaqui out?
Speaker 3 (02:17:59):
Is your in?
Speaker 6 (02:18:01):
Are they tom?
Speaker 2 (02:18:03):
Which one?
Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
Oh voyage?
Speaker 3 (02:18:16):
I'll go well rested mainly at home.
Speaker 5 (02:18:19):
Yeah, yeah, coming, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I really
don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You know what,
Please shame me something. The sharks that they're they're they're
talking Top four. Show me something, sharks. Shame something, shame something.
Speaker 6 (02:18:41):
Yeah, I'm going Eagles.
Speaker 5 (02:18:47):
Yeah, they haven't got a shark. Haven't got a very
good record at four points. If I'm if I'm not wrong,
I have no, I didn't get to do any of that,
haven't too many times. So for then tenous benefit.
Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
Remember what Jay Gibson used to say, it's just a
patch of grass with a fence around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
basically that matters when the bill rings. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:19:11):
I might go the Sharks as all mate. So we've
got two sharks and yeah, two sharks and too manly
for that one, I think, and that rounds up the round.
Speaker 5 (02:19:20):
They're very similar teams in terms of in terms of quality.
So I expect the humdinger of a game.
Speaker 2 (02:19:28):
I really do.
Speaker 5 (02:19:29):
Even even stylistically, they're not that far away. Both teams
like moving the ball, big outside back, bringing the ball back,
so it might be a might be an entertaining game
on our Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:19:45):
And they.
Speaker 2 (02:19:50):
Now Super League results just quickly, We've got the Castle
for Tigers eight, Wakefield Trinity thirty two.
Speaker 5 (02:19:56):
They keep on, They just keep on. Those youngsters just
kept on doing the I didn't doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
Yeah, they sure do. We can worry his twenty two
Warrington Wolves twenty close game there.
Speaker 5 (02:20:06):
Yeah, you know what, they might have won, but Wigham
is still out of thought and Sam Sam hasn't got
his team humming yet. They desperately need a half back.
And you know what, Tristan Salet does not look happy.
It doesn't look happy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (02:20:22):
Helens?
Speaker 5 (02:20:24):
Sorry? I sorry, sat Helen? Sorry, Wigham? Sorry? Yeah, yeah,
sorry you're Wigham. You're talking about Wigham? Yeah, Warrington, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I got yeah, I remember the game now. Yeah, yeah,
Big Sam hasn't got his team hummy. That was a
really good game. Yep, it was a good game. Yeah,
we're going it's just a good team, just a good team.
They just steamer all the teams.
Speaker 2 (02:20:45):
Another close one followter that. How does Piel Giants twelve
ten st Helen's Do you want to talk about that one?
Speaker 5 (02:20:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:20:54):
No, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (02:20:55):
St Helen's four, Leeds Rhinos bright after team seventeen.
Speaker 5 (02:21:00):
Now Brad Arthur say whatever you want to say about him.
He amazes me, he laughed. At the end of last year,
he generally picked up not a good team. They weren't
a good team and he gave him enough structure to
just miss out of the eighth. This year they're top four.
(02:21:21):
They're not a good team, but because he gives them
enough structure and they give him parks to do what
they have to do, they come over most of the teams.
The guys a good coach. The guys are very good coach.
And I hope he goes to Perth because he's the
perfect coach for Perth.
Speaker 2 (02:21:41):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:21:42):
He's got nothing, there's nothing there, there is not And
when I look at him individually, I go they're not
good players, but together they're good. So I do want
to give a shout out to Brad Arthur. That's all,
you know, he shouldn't be. He should not be He
should not be super League. He should not be super League.
When when Australian coaches go to England they take Wigham
Auton Helens, they big, they take the big teams. This
(02:22:04):
team when he took them was second last last year.
Speaker 2 (02:22:07):
Yeah, so he's not all of them succeed George Jeff
Tuvy went over to England. He was horrible, apparently ship
apparent heated himself anyway. Col Kingston Rovers fifty four, Selford
Devil's nil and Leopards. Sorry mate, you want to get.
Speaker 5 (02:22:24):
The Shelford It gets worse, It gets worse and worse
that they've got a Reggis team now. But Nick Polias
has sweept in. He's thinking of buying them to call
them the Salford Roosters.

So they beat them in last year's final and of
course in the second semi final in Nicola. But I think,

People, how many people have switched off already. Have you
ever talked some footy.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Nikka, what's what's in? What's in?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
A something different this week than a real bunker? You're
right this way kidding. This is the worst weekend of saying.
This is the worst weekend of saying, like, seriously, it
just got magic round, became tragic round. It got worse
by the day. Some of those calls starting with paramattas
(06:02):
one the guy who was airborne and upside down and
lender on his head and was penalized for it. Mister
Moses getting hit off the ball but no symbian. Some
of the other games again then I you know, during
the week they came out about the week before and
said Cronulla got ripped off against the Tigers because they
should have got a penalty and gold the point because
(06:24):
the chargedown wasn't square you had. I don't know, I
have to look back on Fox, but there were some
howls over the weekend, absolute howls in some of those games.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
They're not good, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Just before you came on, I shared George. I don't
know if you watch the Champions League this morning, but
I shared, George, there was a penalty I said, this
is how it's done in soccer. I showed him the footage.
The referee runs to the sideline, looks at the TV,
watches the replay, makes a care happens in thirty seconds.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
No, no bunker, bullshit, a TV on the side of
the field.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Know you've told me before how it works. If I've
now seen it, I love it. I love it the best.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I also showed him an example of an offside being
given where they use the digital line yep, and said,
why can't we use that with forward passes? It's simple
or quick, even.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
That they had for magic ground. Why can't we just
have that all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, even even like.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It's the spot the Spider camp sort the Spider camp.
Apparently it's really expensive to put in every ground.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, but even you know what, even if we remove
technology altogether, like with the forward past, most of us,
you know, fans usually see things the way they want
to see them. But for the most part, we can
all see an obvious forward pass. We see the same
dummy half every week, right, Why can't they just say,
you know, go to the bunker. If it's obvious to them,
(07:51):
they'll make a ruling. If not they'll send it back
to ref's call, which is what's happening anyway. So you
can just apply a little bit of logic and at
least eliminate half of you know.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Money is very money is very like. He's very clue
with n r L. But he watched all the replays
because he came back to mine on Monday, even he
watched that Power Game and all the other games and
he was like he could see it completely without even
knowing all the rules. And he's nine, you know, he
(08:26):
could make the correct call. It's not actually that hard.
I just we're talking about it before Adie, I didn't
realize that the NRL like class action is still going on,
So it makes sense why a lot of it's motivated by,
you know, the outcome of this potential class action. It
has been two years, but it's just right.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Which class in England the rugby union one.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Actually it's going to go and when he goes, it's
going to be in favor of the players and the
rugby in England is chitting their pants. Basically, it's going
to be a big conversation. It's going to be really
big payoffs.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
In the Warriors Cowboys game. Sorry, there you go in
the in the Warriors Cowboys game where the Cowboys almost
came back, Warriors scored a try where didn't was tackled
without the ball.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Yeah, and no one, no one nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
How did it happened that many times over the weekend?
It was shameful, honestly, you know it respectfully.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Like I was watching the I was saying, Adi before
I watched the nineteen ninety seven Broncos Grand Final with
the Sharks, and I was watching it with Manny, and
Manny went was shocked that the ref wasn't calling out
every single like coat hanger that was happening.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But wasn't it a better game?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Team?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Wasn't it a better game to watch?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
It's such a better game. And also it was faster,
it was less injuries like everything else. Yeah, but the
calls were fair, like they were completely fair, whereas now
we're going bunker, we're going ref, We're going.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I remind me, was it was that when they had
to ref on the field? Was it one?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I think it was only one. You guys need to
watch it on the weekend, like it's so yeah, son,
it was like Jersey's.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I'm not suggesting for a second that the Sharks didn't
deserve to win the game because they did. I'm just
saying we could do without these frustrating calls, that's all
I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I got so mad. I turned
it off because I said, I'm just over I'm sick
of it. And then ten message me ten minutes later
and she has put it back, put it back line.
(10:54):
I saw it, and I put it back on just
in time to see Simonson getting penalized for being airborne
upside down and landing on his head and if and if,
and they're saying that he tackled the coronal player in
the air, Well, then why wasn't a penalty try?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Yeah, just man, he's talking was he was under him?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
So it's literally like he grabbed a jersey, but he's
falling down on the back of Like what do you
want him to do?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, it could have appeared.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. I'm I'm not
suggesting that, like I said, they impacted the result. I'm
just saying, we can do without this crap.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
It did. It totally impacts the result because when you
see the score climbing and climbing, and you have this
feeling that it's just not going to go your way.
And and interestingly I said to Money, Manny was like,
why is during that ninety seven game, He's like, why
are the rest being so mean to the Broncos? And
(11:57):
I said, well, back then it was only Broncos. Franks
was the only Queensland team because I don't think cows
are around them. And I said, I I watched the
n r L where we had minimal Queensland teams when
I was at Manny's age, and I saw how bias
the refs were to, you know, new South Wales teams.
(12:18):
I said, that's why when I.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Forget about the grasshopper, grass, you're forgetting about the grasshopper.
Oh yeah, you don't know men.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Very, come on, you've got to You've got to watch
the grasshopper.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He was.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
He was a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It looks like love him, love he looks like Kenny's sister. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
But I'm just saying that there's always there's always a
bias towards a certain games, certain players, certain teams. And
it was back then. You can't don't tell me back
in the nineties when you had so many New South
Wales teams and one or two Queensland teams. It wasn't bias.
Perhaps I wrong, Lens, but that's.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Do you do you honestly believe that the old biased
against the Broncos back in the nineties because that's a
really good team.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Yeah, they had a great team. But even during Origin
if you I always watch games.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Had seen the grasshopper grasshopper.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Looking at it. He's on my screen.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
During Origins where he made his name.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
He he gave penalties whether there was no pedal, there
was no to give.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
This. Sorry, ten you wouldn't remember this obviously, but I
think it was the eighty one. It was either the
eighty one Grand Final or semi final. There used to
be a referee who Greg Hollywood Hartley, who was pretty
openly biased against Parameda and at one point I think,
coming with the Grandfather, it might have been a semi final.
(14:11):
That's it. We're a female fan ran onto the field
and started telling him off, and the Powa players had to, like,
you know, hold her by the arm and walk off
the field. George, and she ran onto the field and
pointing a finger in his face and telling him off,
and the power players she said, come on, love, let's
get Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
No, I just think when I look at games, and
that's why. Well when Manny, when he was watching the game,
I was just more excited because it matched my magazine
frame up here. But he was like, I can see
that they're just being a little bit mean to Broncos
players and letting them rub their faces in the dirt.
And I said, well, that's why when I watch games now,
(14:54):
like it was rough over Magic round, I do want
to talk about the previous round. I'm sorry. George b posted, Yeah,
forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yeah, but I just feel like there is a sometimes
there's a bit of a bias, you know, and now
that you've got all this other stuff that comes into
it too.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So yeah, obviously what doesn't say obviously we missed last round.
But yeah, the Bulldogs get in their first lost Brisbane
in that first half.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
That's perfection, perfection, perfection, forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And we want to go around, Yeah, where is where's that? Seriously?
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I play he was an outlier last week.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah, I know about to Ricky, but now look they
gave I guess the Bulldogs the Broncos gave forty minutes
of perfection I haven't seen. I haven't seen. Look, even
Pendrifet their best couldn't match that. That performance that was
that was awesome. They fell off the second half. It's
(16:01):
hard to keep eighty minutes of that type of emotional
and physical effort. But you know what, they've got it
in them. We thought they've got they've got in them.
Now how do you get it out of them? How
do you get it out of them?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah? Sorry, I think it was.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Gone you you went to the preseason game, Tea. I
knew what will happen even before a ball was kicked,
and we spoke. We spoke about it two weeks ago,
three weeks ago on the pod. I believe that Broncos
have got them mentally. I really do Canterbury and they
(16:45):
showed it. They showed it they and you know me that.
Let me tell you everything good about that first forty minutes.
If we think that mister popular as a good coach,
everything made done. Everyone moved the Soroudo had. He had
four moves to counter the one Serroudo move. How do
(17:08):
you how do you how do you get them? How
do you get the best defense of kilter? You drop
you drop people in uh and they're going sideways. So
you're turning the middle forwards shoulders in or out and
they're not coming up. So guess what happens all the
(17:29):
all their forwards straight through the middle like we saw
pain Hulf. I don't worry about what the tackled after
pain Huf. How about pain Huf is actual tackle. So,
like I said, Madge, it was a Madge master class.
There was a Rentals master class. There was a Hunt
master class. The forwards were awesome, awesome, and Colbo is
(17:55):
a fullback.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Cobo is not that pre season at game three, we
are happy. Yeah, that was. It was almost a exact
team that we had, Broncos and Bulldogs and they did
just to get Mariner.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
In because I was exactly the same. Tell you it
was exactly the same result. It was there. We all
put it down to I was a troll match. But
to me, the boy language even before the game told
me that the Broncos have got a mentally you know
what I mean?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, that was. Oh you know, I was messaging
Anna on Instagram. You don't tell George to watch the game,
and She's like, I'll wear fifteen minutes behind and I
was like don't tell George to watch my story's.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Look.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I love teeth. I love watching really good rugby league.
I always say that. And if Broncos think give me
that every week, I'm on board. I'm on board. I'm
on board. I'm a little bit different to most. Do
I want more?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Do?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I want more people to do well? Yet? But if
someone's giving me outstanding rugby league, I'm on board. I
love watching it. I don't care who it is. I
don't care who it is.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Now about we jumping new controversy corner Let's there's a
couple of big, big news stories. So Brandon Smith apparently
transfer is imminent from the Roosters to the Rabbits. Interesting
haggling over a forty thousand difference. At the moment, this
is immediate for the rest of this season. I think
(19:33):
if he goes to South and under Bennett and focuses
on being a nine, I reckon it's a win win
for them. To be honest, none will yeah, but Bennett
Bennett thinks he's a nine, so I am. I'm curious
to see how it plays. I'm curious to see how
it plays out because I don't know apart from Craig Bellamy.
(19:55):
I don't know if there's any other coach that can
get the best out of him, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Hmm, yeah, Look, it's it's gonna happen anywhay. But is
he injured. Also, once he back from injury, because.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Back back, back then, back in five six weeks or something, maybe.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Back end of the year, I'll get something out of him.
But you know what, he never said the rosters, he
was not a rooster's top of player. Yeah, so you
know he can move on. Now the question, the question
is he a good player? Absolutely, I've always said that
he's a rugged, hard running is he Is he good half? Yeah,
(20:39):
he's good, dumb half. Is he a hooker? Look, I'm
going to still say no, even despite what Bennett said.
I I actually read a story before on edit Bennet
said he's going to put him at lock. But anyway, regardless.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
To that, he's injured.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
He's injured.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
But next next they're going to play next year Exactly.
I can't play my lock next year with we can.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Put you can put they can put Marie on the
end on an edge.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But I don't know, he's never been But also he's
never been an eighty minute hooker right, even at Melbourne,
so they probably came probably play some back row as well. Yeah,
playing lock. You can play back row in Melbourne.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
He would come on and do a cameo and and
free up the hooker they I forget his name, the
guy Grant, And then he dropped that. When Grant would
come on, he like you said, Nicole, will drop drop
back to our lock. Look, he's he's good value. He's
good value. He's a rugged runner, he's a good defender,
(21:44):
and better will get the best out of him. Yeah,
for sure, for sure, I reckon he will anyway.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So apparently what they're saying is that the Roosters want
two hundred thousand for the rest of this year, so
prepared to pay one sixty. I'm sure they'll meet somewhere
in the middle.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Sure, by the time he's ready to play, he'll be
he'll be in the red and good.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Look, I hope he goes and finds his major again
because at the Roosters he being easier.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He be it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
No major there whatever I mean, Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I don't know what Trent Robertson's like as a coach,
but he's probably been my assumption sidetracked by two things
as not Craig Bellamy and b the Sydney lifestyle. Yeah,
it seems to have gotten the better of him now
he's on podcasts and everything and he's just a lot
looser than he was when he was in Melbourne. So
maybe he's a little bit distracted. I don't know. Yeah,
(22:39):
But also speaking of the Roosters, daily Chairry Evans is
going to go there for one year and a one
million dollar deal not confirmed, but that's what they're saying
for next year. Yeah, one year, yeah, but that's what
that's what everyone's saying. Yeah, one year, one mill Just
(22:59):
I do homework, So the Kenny's Pod, fifth and last
Gus Fox Sports Listeners. We put an incredible amount of
research into these shows late night. Yeah, not really just
the stuff that we read every day. But yeah, that's
what they're saying. So we'll see, we'll see if that
(23:20):
happens to it. It's a strange one year. I thought
he wanted to but he's going to be thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But it's still mainly offered him in the end two years,
two years, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's weird. And what's the bet he'll get a year
at a million and you'll probably get in the contentional
goat and we're off again. I'd say, you'll probably play.
But all you can do is sign him for a
year at a time. At thirty seven, he can only
have a year at the Roosters because there's too much
coming up, he much coming through. You're going to stunt
You're going to stunt growth if you if you signed for.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Two releasing Dominic Young is going back to Newcastle next week.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Again, not yeah, but no, it happen. Yeah, I heard
one hundred percent, you know, but he was. He was
never a Rooster's play. It didn't fit in. He wants
the place, he wants to play center anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Apparently for a club that's been so at the top
of the at the top of the ladder, not points wise,
that's probably a bad metaphor. But it'll been so good
with their recruitment. The last eight months has been horrid.
The recruitment has been terrible. The players let go and
the players they've signed, it's been terrible for a club
(24:37):
like that, you know, for a club like that to
sign players. Paul Momorowski announced his retirement today. You know,
so that these are all mid contracts. Yeah, we'll arguing
about Galvin. These are all mid contract players to the club,
saying see you later.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
The clearing deck. They're clearing the deck, these kids coming through.
They're looking the good, looking, excellent for ten NRL games,
they're looking good.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
How about when he comes back in and they've got
two wins and everything is no noise coming out of
targets her anymore?
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Funny what Victory does or does mac is adult.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
There was some add with him and Luel and a
few other people. Who's the guy I was reading about
the weekend, who's the replacing d C from Raiders?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah, yeah, I got I know he's got to go
for the money to kill for his family. But I
questioned the fit there.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Well, they didn't contact him, but his contract apparently.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You mean.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
You mean the the Raiders mm hmm yeah, the Raiders. Yeah,
I think I think is the third year of the
second year he gets three years there or two years?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Are they three? That's why he's gone Cambra over him
two and then mainly up to another year.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah, So it's not the money, is the time period
and and Cambra can't keep him because so much underneath.
They can't keep him for three years they can't.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Keep I just sent you. I just sent you a
text of that I sent to George and Tan of
Ricky Stewart of Magic Grounds. I see that.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, that's funny. Have a look at it later, Have
a look at Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
And now there's other reports today that this hasn't going
to be facing the sack if he doesn't win twelve
out of the last sixteen. That's really that's a big ask.
That's a big ask considering their current form, and the
feet is in reserve grade.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
They're shocking him around. Apparently, that's what I heard as
well two clubs.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I said, we're wondering.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Who was going to be the first coach sacked. And
you know, we never really had him in the picture,
right But.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Now, I mean, I don't know how solid that is,
but this is just what they were a porting.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So I was waiting for that idea when more more
losses came, I was waiting to hear about that. I
would like them to think with Daisy, I can't believe
des is the issue. I think maybe, well we've seen it.
They're shopping. They're shopping there for fitter around, so maybe
(27:23):
he's the cancer there. There's something going on because no,
I mean you think so up in the officer's team. Yeah,
it's it's it's something going on because that lift should
not be the body.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Even if you look at if you look at Parado,
we all know and talk about, you know, Gatho and
our cg last year, right again, and I just mentioned
players who are getting who are getting let go meet contracts.
If you look at Paramotter just this year, Bryce cart right,
Sean Lane would to move, Greg now has been offered
(28:01):
to the Super League, Ryan Madison, Joe Offali and apparently
Junior Paulo is going to retire at the end of
the year. Now that's that's that's the entire forward pass
bes see you later. So I hope he's got a plan.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
He's got.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But we're seeing it. We're seeing it. We're seeing it
a lot again. You know again, it irks me. I
don't want to keep going back there. But with all
the stuff, the headlines that blew up about Galvin, all
these clubs are kicking players out of mid contract and
it's okay.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
What happened in the last two weeks coming back in
it's insanity.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
They're getting this cat ready for next year or these
clubs money, you know what.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
The thing with the thing with Hasler, the Warriors were
similar to what the Titans are. They always had the
talent can navigate to the next step. And Webster has
just weaved his magic since he's been there, been solid.
I've got a feeling that's what's going to happen to
the times. But they just got to find the right coach.
Is not the right coach, They've got to find some youngster,
(29:06):
some some young guy that's got new ideas because the
old coaches now I'm telling you now Flannigan will be
probably next soon if he keeps going with this. But
the Flannagans, the Hassler's, or the old guys that you
had a bit of success in the early days, they're
starting to fail a bit now. They're using the old
methods continue going well, but it is just inconsistency. Like
He's they're either brilliant or their way off. You know,
(29:30):
I just.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Go like a bit of a yo week in week out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
One thing that's similar about those who though they bank
on old players more than the youth, you know what
I mean, that takes them a while to bring a
youth going, whereas the newer coaches aren't afraid to throw
in a youngster, whereas Flannigan, he has been forced to
blood in the youngsters this year because the other guys
have simply been crap. But Hasler is the same, like
he's sort of a little bit.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Because if you look at Roles the team that Paramatti
ran out with, they had five they had four run
on players with less than ten games experience. So you're
definitely right about the younger coaches are taking that kind
of approach. Yeah, maybe maybe Trent Robinson and some of
these other coaches was just saying, you know what, we
(30:18):
need to kind of do something similar. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Trent Robertson where the roosters are now with Trent Robinson
is a huge him because that's not a good team,
that's all youngsters, and he'd lost a lot of players,
so he's done really well. I think robot I know,
his recruitment has been pretty poor the last couple of years,
but even they wanted to get there.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean they lost was at Supreneur because of the
forfeeder bundle mm hmmm, and just the players have brought in.
They were releasing him a year or two later, it's
you know, but I suppose the thing that's George, You've
been the loudest vocally. The thing that's more alarmed, it's
most alarming is that with players like Brandon Smith. I
(31:04):
remember George was saying it straight away like this is
a bad fit.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
It's not going to work, you know what with Robbo specifically,
because he's had so much success there and if you've
had one or two years, you know, ordinary results because
obviously a bad recruitment. It looks like he's seen his
way and he's going back to that as well. Gee,
(31:31):
he's going back to what he usually does. Because what
I'm seeing these kids coming through, they look like when
they have fifty to one hundred n real games underneath,
they're built. They look like they're going to be pretty
pretty good. Now in terms of coaching, I can tell
you right here and now, there's a big difference between
the young brigade Ryles throughout zero Fits is a little
(31:59):
bit differ and he's a little bit old school a
little bit. He runs it a little bit old school
to to the to your Flannagans and your Daisy's. They
play more direct, more old fashioned power game even the Professor.
They're trying to use this this sort of power, sort
(32:21):
of move movement of a ball sort of game brand new,
the new style called the new coaches. So you're right there. Now.
I don't know what's what's the right type of rugby league.
But as the game quickens up and the forwards a
different shape, they're not the six, they're not all paining HSSs.
(32:44):
Maybe this sort of movement in forward passes to forward
uh and bringing them bringing them back on the inside,
coming with angloed runs so you catch up the defenders
turning shoulders might be the way to go.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Rolls done with the center Jordan a background.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Yes, yes, yes, rolls. I consider rolls as a new brigade.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
He's not going for size, he's not going for size
upfront mobility.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, I call I call roles part of the new brigade,
the hero, and and and even the Professor, which is
not young, but he's got a young thought, the Professor,
so his more ball movement.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I still would like to have to big middle forwards
around him. You know, I think you're still that there's
two blocker roaches to to break the wall down.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
You know, you need someone punching the meat as Yeah, definitely,
or you can do like Canby doesn't with more movement.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
But then again, then again Broncos put a stop to
that with the whole The whole comp showed how you
you can rip Canby's middle all apart, he showed off
he's there.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
There's yes, no, no, no yet to say. They're probably
going to I.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Was going to say, there's ten million dollars worth of
talent in reserve grade right now across the What.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
I was going to say is I feel bad for
the coaches, right like I know, you know, we can
say whatever you want about about certain things. Now I've
as you guys know, like having experienced at the community
level and also experience with certain and exposure to certain
clubs in the er L. At the moment, you got
(34:36):
to look at who's on the board, because the board
has oversight right over decisions and coaching decisions and recruitment
and what makes them look good. And you know, it's
very strategic. And also it's not just similar to running
a business where where not everyone should have a business
or run it or manage it, and they might have
(34:57):
ego that tells that as well. And we look at
you know, if we look at I guess even how
you know the Broncos. The Broncos are a really good
spread on their board. They have people from the industry,
they have people that have come from finance everything else.
Like Storm has the scene, like they've experienced people. And
(35:17):
if we're talking about Titans, like you know the people
that are on the Titans, it's privately they have very
strong oversight over over the coach and what they do.
And it's a very Gold Coast focused board, do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
She's the one who went out of her way to
pick there's the up. She begged them basically to come,
which is what what's.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Rebecca? Yeah, they have they have a smaller board, right,
And I'm just looking at like the because I always
get interested in how clubs are structured and stuff. And
then you have a look at how because when I
because I sponsored the Titans years ago, and who's the
guy that now he was there and he's not there anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
He was a CEO.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Gosh I met him a few times. He's now more
in the NRL. He was great commercially that for that club.
But we go, what do we have who is actually
behind the coach, who's actually who are the people being
appointed to football operations? Or they're getting it because they're
friends of a friend of a friend, or are they
getting it because they're actually you know, suitable for the role.
(36:25):
Because you got to think in these clubs they're not
necessarily run. And we were talking about this before we started, George, like,
in terms of running a business and everything. It's great
to start a business or run it because you love
doing what you do or you love footy, but do
you have the right people in place so we can
go des is bad and he's bad whatever? Like Nick,
we were talking about it before with Shane too. It's
(36:48):
not necessarily about the coach. The coach is the puppet,
do you know what I mean? They're the ones that
have to do what they're being told because who's paying them.
So I go, I look at it probably more for
my commercial perspective, and I go, well, instead of looking
at the coach, who's on the board, you know, and
what's what's actually driving certain decisions Because I've I know
(37:09):
people that have played at certain clubs too that have
given insight as well into what it's like being at
certain clubs without like saying too much, and it's not.
It's it's run. A lot of those clubs are crazily run.
Like I had insight into the Suns, the AFL as
well sooner like back then it was not very organized.
They usually aren't. It's the it's the it's the bigger
(37:34):
established storm Panthers. That's even when you guys are talking
about Panthers and dragons last year. Their structure. That's why
I was. I found it so impressive because I haven't
seen that as much here in certain so I kind
of go, yes, the coach and everything else, but god,
he's only his hands are tired, you know, So do
you thok about?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
It's interesting though. I thought there's some coaches who who
had sort of car blanche. They can probably probably do
anything they wanted to.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Have ownership or they get a percentage of whatever that
would be. That is a really good strategic thing that
we use for general managers if we want them to
have more buy in when we're recruiting them for a
role in a year or two years time. You get
a cut of the profits. If you looked if people went,
people don't go this intensely because they probably don't think
like I do. But if you looked at who had
(38:30):
a private ownership or even some sort of you know, shareholder,
and you look at how that's linked to that particular coach,
like they would have more of a vested interest in
doing well for the club and listening and moreover, because
you've got to think it's not the clubs are a
commercial business.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
We paid, Yeah, not many of them actually make profits.
Are maybe two or three of them? You mean beside
Penriff and the Broncos, which the Broncos are the richest
club in the league or in the world rugby league club.
Not many make profits last year. It's it's not like I.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Just just for the first time.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
But they're probably not well enough. They're probably not run
efficiently enough.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Like I know, para problem.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I mean we you know we went we went to
I mean, if you go to a paramountic game and
you're not a member, do you have much your pain?
Mm hmm, it's absurd, right. And then for someone who
wants to take their family, Look, if I was running
the club easy kids undertend getting free, that's.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Absolutely and you're going to make it back in the day.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
You're going to make your money back with chips and
hot dogs.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
Anyway that make a club money, sponsorship deals, right, naming
rights like we we had the naming rights for Kevin
Propter's shirt jersey, which that year he did something very
unfortunate which was not ideal for go back there. But
you think about that. So if you're getting sponsors on
(40:04):
board and you see them holding like this big bag
of money, you're going to be swayed that way to
get you know, more stuff for your club. It's just
the way that the business world works. Like if it's
a member's run club then obviously it's a little bit different.
They have a bit of a say, but I guess
for the way that I see it, Like you know,
Broncos are publicly listed right so that they do have money,
(40:26):
you know, whereas you have privately owned companies or members around,
I just I kind of go, yes, you know, I
can hate on Benji and Bennett and Bennet probably has
more of re sake be as the respect thing too,
but I go I also know there's people behind there
that are holding the strings as well, which is the
main driver for a lot of the things too.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
But it's interest, that's the reason why you have people
like Guskull, which is a buffer between the coach and
the board, you know, I mean, and I'm sure every clubs.
I guess God, I.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Mean you needed too, because what was it too easy? Ago?
Wayne Bennett didn't front the press conference, which is apparently
his tooth fell out.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
That's right, Yeah, that's right, you're right.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, Well what he was drinking coffee in the box
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
But exactually, miss you look at it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
When Wayne Bennett gets the ships and he doesn't want
to turn up, it doesn't turn.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Up and we're going to take it out.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Well, you know what, if your tooth falls out, you
can still talk, you know what I mean? Like, I mean,
he had the ships because he lasted he didn't do
the press conference. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Time for your tooth to fall out otherwise, you know,
that's true enough.
Speaker 5 (41:42):
Actually, te I got an email from a Queensland listener
asking about the third parties and I'm actually doing a
little bit of work behind the scenes on the Broncos
third party deals. A bit hard to find, but I'm
still battling a couple of when already comes back, not
(42:03):
next week. The other work I'll try to tell you
roughly how much some of the players and I can't
find everybody, but on the Minion.
Speaker 6 (42:17):
Well, interestingly, because they are a SX listed, you can
actually find the reports.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
You can find the reports that's not a report will
be available online the company because because I doesn't reveal
them as we know, because NRL. So you've got to
go actually dig in and to find to find things.
But you're right, ASEX and that's what I was thinking, as.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Well as a recruiter and know how to find that
salaries really quickly.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
That's good. She'll tell me.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Just one last point. Good. The Premier of Western Australia
has confirmed the personal Host Eighties team.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Yes, the Bears are back the best.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
It's official.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
Good.
Speaker 6 (43:05):
I want to fly six hours to still be in Australia.
I have two people.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
I wouldn't but I just think there's way too many teams.
There's way too many times.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
They're doing it for commercial Yeah, they for commercial reasons.
They want twenty teams to conferences.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
We've been there before twenty times. Look getting added to
the teams who got cut. We had the South Queensland crushes,
we had the Western Reds, we had the Adelaide rams.
No one's talked about South Australia. Are they going to
bring that in next you know.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
No, they'll They'll probably put one in New Zealand or
yeah they won't do that, they put one in New
Zealand or Witch.
Speaker 6 (43:52):
Yeah do ip switch yets. It's funny, but the Cowboys
CEO is stepping down at the end of the year
after twenty two years. If you're my mates, be like,
to any you're going to apply for that, I'm like,
you know what, they probably need a female coach or
a female CEO or something. And then yeah, yeah, after
(44:15):
the first week.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
I think, yeah, let's let's move into the round that was, yes,
the round that was so magic, Round, Tragic Crown some corn.
It every day was sold out, wasn't it. But we
had some rain there as well. Yeah, yes, yeah, which
(44:38):
was unfortunate, both.
Speaker 5 (44:40):
Of or fifteen minutes of madness.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
Yeah man, sorry Artie. Meg was there for the whole
three days and she was rough.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Sorry Meg. On the Friday night they ran out of
beer ow, they ran out, they ran out of the
Great Northern. She was like, I don't what's happen? Thing
Dolphins is losing and they've run out of Great Northern.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
And I was like, yeah you think you think girl?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Yeah? Yeah, black Bronco. Broncos girl.
Speaker 5 (45:12):
Oh, Broncos girl.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
I thought you are if you're Broncos, you know, okay, yeah,
run out of the beer, so run out of that anti.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah. So the first game Sharks twenty eight it was
eighteen I think of what I mean, it was, it was,
it was. It was good and bad in patches as
a Nils fan, Sharks were good again. Some of the
(45:46):
calls not for one second suggestion they affected the result.
But Moses got got shoulder charged off the ball and
there was no symbing was placed on report. But there's
no symbing. What's that? And just the high shot that
hit the shoulder that was penalmized early in the I mean,
(46:07):
it's just you know, and then the refs but the
ref's reasoning when when he was questioned about it, because
you could hear it over the microphone. Yeh know, I
know I saw it hit the ball, but it come
up off the ball and then hit him in the face.
Yeah yeah, but it hit the ball carrying the ball, right,
jesus h It's just getting harder and harder to watch.
(46:30):
It's a collision sport, it's you know, but yeah, I
don't know. Look, I missed half of this game because
I had the ship. So, like I said, I turned
it off and and tenure, I heard some colorful language.
And on Friday night, I wasn't because it was just
I was just it wasn't It wasn't the result or
(46:52):
the score. It was just the crap that I was
seeing in front of him, just over it. I'm seriously, if.
Speaker 5 (46:57):
We if we push away the referee and the this
this was a type of game where Cornela had to
go and do what they have to do to get
the two points. Earl's did not play bad. They did
not play. They were hanging around. They were hanging around
(47:17):
in it, are in it emotionally as well, which I liked.
But yeh, look it starts from will Will Kennedy and
how they fell how in the in the forums they
still don't believe in Will Kennedy. It's got me absolutely baffled.
It's got me baffled. I listened to I listened to
(47:39):
a Carnela pod and still the first thing is it's
it's not the real Wial Kennedy. Okay, he's leaning the
d It's not the realned. But anyway, anyway, it's got me,
got me buggered, and it starts starts from from Will
and he goes to look Kay Kevin Ira or k
l Ira wants to be called now, came straight in
(48:00):
because of injury. People were talking about if he would
come back into the team. The kid's a sip star.
Kid's a sipstar. I don't care. He's like his uncle,
if not better than his uncle, Ronaldo doing Ronaldo. I
think Trindle a little bit quiet Nico taking center stage
and seeing the team around. Can I suggest the big
(48:22):
dollars that they spent on Trindle could have been a
little bit premature. We'll see what happens during the year.
But yeah, and you know what, Please, no one blame
for Noal Blake for anything, because Fanila Blake is doing
for Noial Blake things. Kre guys amazing. Oh no, no, no,
it's not that they're saying that. Some of the forums
(48:44):
are saying that he's not holding up his part of
the duel. Let me tell you he's holding up he's
part of the duel and some and some I'm liking
Brayley can we have him in the conversation or what's
your thoughts that we're having him in the conversation for
a Blues Jersey in a conversation. We know that the
North Queensland hook is going to get the Braley young
(49:08):
young Brailey.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
Yeah, I mean I'd be happy with the Cowboys hooker.
Speaker 5 (49:14):
Yeah, no, no, he will get the incoming I always
like incombing players. But he's he's he's gone on a
new level. I think this year. I'm a massive fan
of Niko. I've always said that and I'm putting now
Camen mcginnon, I'll say it again. He puts his head
in where you wouldn't put your foot. Nicol. Yeah, he's
(49:37):
a sensation. He's a sensational, you know. I mean he
doesn't when you look at his stats, you say how
because he doesn't translate on the field, but he does
all that dirty, yacky things that you don't want to do,
sort of a race thing sort of player. Nicola penalties
in that game fifteen peno, Yeah, okay, that's a normal
(50:00):
And look, look I thought that. I thought that again,
Paramounta weren't awful. I think I think there's some players
like the young the young fullbacks developing.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Still, that'll be much better when Low Mexic comes back
next week.
Speaker 5 (50:17):
Absolutely, I just come back next week. Oh thank you, good,
good good. And the fours held their held their own.
So again we're going to give Jason two years, aren't we?
At least?
Speaker 3 (50:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (50:30):
See yeah, but look, it's it's it's a game that
they had to go and get it done done. Yeah,
and they did and they did yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
And and there must have been a lot of paraffins
there because it must have been during that game where
they ran out of beer. Because the following the following game,
the rooster has been the Dolphins thirty six points to
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
Three to one, mate, yeah sorry one yeah, three to one,
and gave it to Cameron McGinnis because of his work rate,
high work rate. He was.
Speaker 5 (51:01):
He was a crazy, crazy guy.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
The second point, two points went to and he's not
taking the piss out of Shark fans, but he gave
it to William Kennedy because he played really well.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
How how they coop?
Speaker 2 (51:12):
I know, I.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
Don't know.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
I don't know what they these Sharks fans, I don't
know what they've seen anyway.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
And one point went to Riley Smith, the young hooker
from that he was fifty seven tackles man. This kid
the second or third game. This kid is going to
be really good.
Speaker 5 (51:26):
Little Nicola very early. He's very early in his real
career obviously been enough to say that he should and
he probably will be the long term hooker for paramatter.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Got it. It's funny because he even looks like read
money with the head girl. He really does, you know,
he does very similar, very similar. Like I would say,
is at the same stage that he was when he
in his first season.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Okay, I don't remember that, you remember it.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Was it was twenty nineteen. So like him. I like him.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
I think there's a massive future.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Yeah, yeah, he's become a sledger.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
He had to choose. He had to choose between I
don't know what were the choice is here personally, but
he had to choose between rugby league and cricket. We
could do winter. He could have played representative cricket. Anyone
who knows me knows that I'm not a cricket fan.
I can't comment, so for me, any sport that breaks
(52:35):
for lunch is not a sport. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Wouldn't it be freaky though, if you had a guy
represented Australian cricket and rugby league the same year, because
once in summer, once in winter, I'm.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
Glad you choose footy. But I was reading a story
just last week, I think on Fox Sports where Ross
brought his dad in to present for the jersey presentation
when he debuted in first grade and they made a
big deal out of it. So he's he's going well,
he's going well good.
Speaker 5 (53:09):
Yeah, good kid.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
And John Walker's made a big difference to that team
as well, hasn't he. Yeah, he really has. He's almost
like a third half off the bench. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
I thought it was a strange one, but the other
I sear it and this is going back. It goes
back to Ryle because solistically he knows what he wants.
It works.
Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (53:30):
Yeah, And I've always liked I've always liked Dylan. I've
always liked him.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
Yeah, isn't I mean he won dam Center of the Year.
But he's also played hooker. He has played like he's
a bit of an everything guy.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
He's got really good hands, and he's got really good
ballwork and he knows when to run and went to pass,
and that's a that's a very big skill.
Speaker 3 (53:52):
Yeah. But anyway, going back to the Roosters and the Dolphins,
so thirty six points to twenty six ten, you want
to talk to studious?
Speaker 5 (54:02):
What do you go for me to?
Speaker 6 (54:04):
No, I don't want to talk about it. I was
so appointed, but also I just looked. I think, I
just they were doing so good, right, I really they
lost the previous week, but prior to that, they were
(54:26):
doing so well, and I just like, I just couldn't
because what was it was four It was three tries
before Hammer even scored his first you know, I don't know,
I was saying to Nick, Magic round because I even
compared the previous rounds like previous years, because that's the
type of paston I am, and it is always random
(54:47):
during Magic Round, you can't pick it right, and I
feel it's such a different vibe. I've been to one
Magic Round a few years ago and I think it's
something one or two, and it is so a trick
and it would be quite intimidating, like even for the players.
It's a different kind. We've had lots of rain up here,
and I just Dolphins always play well at home, their
(55:09):
home some court. If it's you know, and I just
like Asaka converted all his all the tries, like it
was Alla, wasn't that great here? Four other seven like
they had the form Like any Queensland game or team
that we talk about in this round, they all had
it and they just couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (55:30):
All the queens teams lost. Yeah yeah at some court.
Speaker 6 (55:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (55:37):
I think I think you've been you've been a little
bit harsh on him because they're injury ravage at the
at the moment, I think I think there's four or
five out and some experienced, more experienced players out and
you know what they feel in and out of the game.
But this game was this game really was all about Teddy.
(56:00):
Teddy's winded back the clock to his his hey day
when he made and and things. Raff was the Oh,
it's all about Teddy. He's what winded back the clock
and and he's the reason one of the reasons why
(56:21):
this team is firing as they are. Look another Queensland
U t Robert uh Ty Toyer Toyer, He's he's improving
every time he touches the ball. Marky Mark from Union,
I think he's born playing rugby league.
Speaker 6 (56:42):
This kid, he guys watched it. There was like Boss
Stock he was doing this late last year. He kept
you dropping the ball, that is your job? Like what
is your job?
Speaker 3 (56:57):
But I think it was it rained hard at one
point to doing it.
Speaker 6 (57:02):
Yeah, it was the roughest round.
Speaker 3 (57:04):
It's got to be so it's easy for us.
Speaker 6 (57:07):
A decent team they had, Yeah, really there Sarco favorite obviously,
like that Herbie Hammer. Like, yes, I lost to Raiders,
which I didn't agree with the previous round anyway, but
even you know Smith was off in the first what
ten minutes, Billy really no sand in Smith.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
Which was a massive blow massive.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
I know it's just going to sound wrong, but they're
all these clubs trained with wet bulls. You know, they
have the bulls dunking in the sapey water on the sideline,
get thrown in and I just.
Speaker 6 (57:41):
Think it's and you'll see neck when you come up
in July. It is just a different type of feeling
during that that round. It's like origin, that's that's the
feel of It's hectic. But I did one of my mates,
Joey from Malsana, his son is meet with Sandon, who
(58:07):
went off. Yeah, I was just like I should I
hope he's all right, you know, like because that's like,
you know, I don't want to see that at the
beginning of the game with that drop, the guys couldn't
come come back, you know. Yeah, I just feel like
that was super rattled.
Speaker 3 (58:25):
Whilst we're talking about the Roosters, just quickly, I want
to give a shout out to beat Johnson kaa who's listening.
Gave me a mouthful on Saturday night. The Rooster's winning
and Para losing as he always does every time I
see him. But we're glad to have you on board, Johnny,
so enjoy.
Speaker 5 (58:43):
You'll be happy with Katawa. He's the guy who actually
dragged them back into the flight, back into that game
and made the score look respectable because I thought Rusters
never looked like in danger. This Savala, what have we got?
What have we got on him? Four m real games?
(59:05):
Maybe not great on his feet, but the kicking game
to cherish. He's not half, is he He's a back roll?
Is in your center, right?
Speaker 2 (59:14):
I think he's a half half. I think he can
play back roll as well, but he's a half. He's
a genuine half.
Speaker 5 (59:22):
Okay, Yeah, he's kicking fantastic Yeah, he's kicking game, puts
the ball where the Roosters want, the Fins coming out
of there, out of their dirty ball, so makes it
really half for him, and he keeps on putting it,
putting it there. Look, it was not a complete performance.
(59:43):
But when they're they're, they're they're, they're looking somewhat like
a rugby league team, the Roosters, and they're trying to
struggling to find their identity with all these players going out,
and I call it the rooster the rooster way. They're
slowly trying to find out anything. Now the Finns, I'm
(01:00:05):
like Tanya, I'm pret disappointed of their performance. Now this
is the second or third loss in the road to
I can't remember now, second lot of and that before that,
that before that, three in a row and we thought
they were flying. So but this week I think they're
getting some players back to I think they're getting some
players back.
Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
The camera game in round three, but I think it
was an old mate that's fairly had a year on
his raffing thing, or it was someone else, so I
didn't know how to ref that game. I'm so harsh
because I love the Dolphins, but yeah, you know, the
minute I saw if you guys noticed, there were two
or three players that did double tries or even hat
(01:00:45):
tricks right the minute I saw the second one. So
this was it Mark or was it Radley that got
it in this game?
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I was like, nah, like Radley got a double? Mark double? Yeah,
Robert Troyer Troyer, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
Think I see like the double Victor Mark Mark Victor.
I'm like, no, we're done. And and if you look
at every single game the guys that got the doubles
one super disappointed with that one. I'm not, you know,
I'm really hoping that they they come up this week.
Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
You know what they're they're in and now they're in now.
But the only good thing is you have got one
of the best half backs, or one of the best
young half backs is developing his game and he's going
to be if he's not already, he's going to be
a superstar. He's going He literally, single handily middle of
the second half, when not looked dead and buried, he
(01:01:46):
dragged them back into that game. So he's a special
young man, a very special young man.
Speaker 6 (01:01:51):
I just realized. I said, I hope they come back
this week. But they're playing the Ills.
Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Sorry, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (01:01:59):
I'm going to go Broncos game when you told me, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
No, I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Do you want to give us three to one on that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Sure. The Roosters are my second team and I'm so
glad they're doing well at Teddy Teddy Teddy. But I
lost Manu and Sali and they brought in these two
youngsters are playing the no quantas here and the other
guy Toya, So yeah, well done. The robot three points
went to the Desco to seventy one meters, which was fantastic.
(01:02:31):
Hugo Savala losing his harvest partner in six minutes and
then just took over and he showed how what a
class he's going to be. And I got the one
point for that one.
Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
So good, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Yeah, russ are doing.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
The first game on Saturday, Newcastle got back to the
winning ways against the Rabbits, but it was thirty points
to four. But g Us have been depleted. They've lost
so many players. You know, we shouldn't lead up to
this one, crazy crazy depleted. It's not funny if.
Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
You look at the score though. The first two tries,
but by one person. It was his birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Sharpe was, yeah, Sharp, that's your sharp.
Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
You had a blinder that was brutal and that's face.
I was like, oh my god, I don't know what
you can I got bored with this game.
Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
I mean they the lost Jack White, they lost someone
else as.
Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
Well, souls depleted and actually, well we all go through it.
But look Newcastle bounces back after I think sixth straight
losses and yeah they needed it and uh and T
(01:03:53):
T T said it flat to Sharp looks like a superstar.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Sometimes i'd see what it see what I do. Think
he's unfair though Lewis Thoughts finally gets brought in for
this game. I mean, he can't be judged off this game.
Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
No, no, you can't judge him at all so far
because he hasn't been got any opportunity. There's no he's
been given.
Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
I don't know if we was he named this week,
I haven't looked.
Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
I don't know. But you can't judge him. I can't
say yay or nay because for some unknown reason, ben
it just kept on overlooking him, you know, or giving
him very limited time, so which but then disappointing.
Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
But then you bring him into the that's the worst
possible snow set up for failure, you know, Yeah, I
mean I don't know that ever really stood a chance
of winning that game just because of the players they
had out.
Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no no. And and like
I said, I wouldn't even judge him on the performance
of last week, because how can you judge anyone from
from how performance? You know what the score says. With
all here, hopefully they'll get some players back and strengthen up.
This is all about. This game was all about all
about the Knights bouncing back and some of these players
(01:05:12):
who are superstars, like gay guy like.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Kalen He's been dropped. His name's in the reserves list
this week.
Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Really, if you bought him for eight hundred grand, you're
gonna give him a goat. Yeah, there's still they look,
there's there's issues here for this team and namely the Knights,
which are still there. Make no mistake the playmaking Fletcher
Sharp is great, fantastic. When he gets some open field
(01:05:43):
to running or when he hits the gap, he's he is,
He's electrifying. I love watching him. But all in hand
and setting up other people, this is the issue where
they've got. So you've got you've got some really really
done back seat best gay guy look Kayle and Kylen travels,
he goes everywhere, the poor guy to get the ball
(01:06:04):
in his hands, and Cogger is just not fitting the bill.
These fourwards last week did the job from from Carl
Peace Paul to SEPHII, which I never really raided. So
let's hope they keep on keep on doing this because
Newcastle shouldn't be down the bottom, of course is at
all respectfully.
Speaker 6 (01:06:25):
Though, like I know we talk about like you know
and respectfully to Bennett, but I don't really think he's
done much in terms of with teams he's had since
the Dragons, like really like you know.
Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
He took I mean he was in he was in
a whisper of winning a Grand Final.
Speaker 6 (01:06:44):
But also but also Dragons like what was it twenty ten?
Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Like yeah, but then he went to Newcastle after that
and that was a bad experience.
Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Yeah, so we've got so we've got Newcastle.
Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
But you know he was at minute away for winning
and premiership at Brisbane. But literally a minute, literally a
minute if we.
Speaker 6 (01:07:05):
Look if we look at Bennett, like that's what I'm
probably really gunning for the Dolphins too, because even what
they've done this year under Wolf, let's let's you know,
what's he doing with I.
Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Thought Bennett did well. I thought he did well with
the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
But think even with the Dolphins, they had valiance to
that massive unit that came from Q Cut did nothing
with him. The first two games he the Dolphins, he
he literally did a josh Ka like in every single
game he played.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Trade. You know, if he's off someone, he's off someone.
Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
But that's where you I know that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
I know that, But I mean, you know, back in
the day, back in the day when when Justin Hodges
signed with the Roosters, he was dropped immediately from first grade. Yeah,
that's why.
Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
But I kind of I sit here and I go, look,
I know Bennett from you know, back then, and yes,
he was great. But I don't know. I don't know
if he gets a super coach title anymore, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
I don't know. I think he's I think the game
maybe it's outgrain him a little bit. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
My question to you is every team he goes to,
or eighty percent of the teams he goes to Has
he improved and forget winning titles, that's the most hardest
thing you can do. Has he improved a team or
Egypt Newcastle or.
Speaker 6 (01:08:37):
He didn't do anything with the Dolphins? He did that.
Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
You know what he did at the Dolphins. What he
did is put culture in there one I guarantee you
he put culture and he broad kids in there with
high character and high culture.
Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
From the Broncos, which I think was good. They followed
him there. I think that's the culture piece that we're
talking about. But how good would it have been for
him to retire with a brand new Queensland team, the
fourth one sticking it out?
Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know why.
That's the only thing he was involved in, the imbrune
stages of that club being put together, he was he
was involved in. He was involved in every meeting, every negotiation.
If you watch that Dolphins doctor, you'll see it.
Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
I'm still shocked and look, I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Know why he didn't stay there. I want to retire here,
you know, man, Like.
Speaker 6 (01:09:34):
What what a legacy to come from Bronco, something that
you know and full respect that this is something that
has been turning over in my mind since getting on
the pop with you guys around him, because I go like,
because even the Rabbits are here guys talking now, I
should have put someone in and you know, like you
give them a chance right where whereas Wolf, I know,
(01:09:57):
the guys didn't play and there were a lot of
injuries for the often he's getting everyone. That kid from
Q Cup Valiants, he was brilliant. He was like the
New South Wales forward that's called the tries for originally
on the night. He was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
You just it's missed opportunities, I think, and I think
you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I mean again,
if you look at Jason Rawles, like two weeks ago,
like at the start of this part, I named five
forwards who are being released. Four of them were named
in Cup. It was the most expensive front row in
New South Q Cup, New South as Cup, you know
(01:10:42):
what I mean. And I'm like, I'd like to win
a game. Why don't we put him in? You know,
why don't we put him in that? They have their methods,
you know, so I.
Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
Think we've Jason. You got to give him Klin.
Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I think Bennett Speker's mistake. Honestly, it was Le Saint
George because what he built, No, those three years that
were the beachmark, that were really really they'll go up
the top.
Speaker 6 (01:11:07):
Are we talking about what he could have also done
with Dolphins that he missed during the Saint George too?
Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Do you know that's George? That was they were top,
They were really good. And then they wanted him to
stay longer, but he just got stubborn because he wanted
five years at the start, they offered him three, and
then when it was at the end, he wouldn't extend anymore.
It's like, not, no, I'm not going to stay longer.
Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
I reckon. I reckon for him he did. He did
the right thing because I say this respectfully when you
look at players like Jamie Soward and that he got
the best out of everyone and how to play him
and if you remember how both Scott was protecting Jamie Soward. Yeah,
that like he got the best out of everyone in
that team. And I think it's a little bit of it.
I think the best thing Ivan Cleary could do is
(01:11:49):
leave Penry in the next three years. No, I don't know, man,
Otherwise he's gonna he's going to see the other side
of the slide, you know what I.
Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Mean, recompenish of state because what he built and the
players were still in the prime, he still had at
least five years he could squeeze more out of those guys.
I went that old. He took a couple of them
to Newcastle. Other guys went somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
I still had followed him everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yeah, I know Darius Boyd his son, he's long was sunny.
But yeah, never since then, he's sort of gone a
bit funny with that Queen's Broncos game where the lost
to the Cowboys. What year was that? Two thousand and
which one was fifteen? Fifteen, twenty fifteen? Okay, so five
years later he bounced back. But that was a good
Broncos team as well. But yeah, since that Grand Final
(01:12:34):
lost though, he hasn't really done too much.
Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
Honestly, it was a fifteen or seventeen.
Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
He has built a club fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Actually he got South to the Grand Final two.
Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
We forgot that, yes, I mean again and again again. Yeah,
Againt Penrith just started their run right. Brisbane were less
than a minute away from winning that Grandfather right, but
no one remembers that and whoever wins the war gets
to read write history the way they want people to
(01:13:04):
read it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:04):
Right, So we were we're talking about age.
Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
He's lost his last two Grand finals. Yeah, he's one
eight or whatever seven seven.
Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
Coaches and how fluid they are in terms of getting
with the times right, And here's what's seventy five, you know.
And that's not to say that he's not still shut
he's playing from but he's coaching from this era, this era,
you know, a different time.
Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
And camera remember coaching camera.
Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
And yeah, and I've massively taken us down a pathway.
But I've just I've just had it in my mind
and then be king. I'd be king to hear what
you know.
Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
I will say I will say this though I don't
think it's I think as far as twenty twenty five goes,
I don't think we can judge him on this season
based on the injuries and distractions of the South have had. Yeah,
I don't think it's fair to Judgehihen this season. Next
year yeah, next year him next year, yes, but.
Speaker 5 (01:14:10):
He still should have the tag of super coach, the
idea and be calling supercoach. He should he still should
have the take of super coach. Yeah, yeah, but I
understand what you're saying. He I think you should have
stayed at the Finns as well, and another twill three
years just to build on on on what he started.
But let me let me say, don doan't undersell Wolf.
(01:14:35):
He's a good coach. He's a good coach and you've.
Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Got to give it to Bennett. He left Dolphins in
a good state. He didn't just leave him rubbish, you
know what I mean. He got him a good coach.
He tutored him and then he left a good set
of cattle and that's what you can. Kloppted to Liverpool
with the new manager and they won the title, So
you know what I mean. That's a sign of a
good coach when he leaves and leaves it seem in
a really good state where they've got they're aiming hin
(01:15:02):
they win a comp the next year. That's when you
know he's a good coach.
Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
He has been giving me a lot of.
Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Liverpool Monopoly set some sort of record last year, finished
tenth four coaches in twelve months, wow, and now sitting
first with three games to go. So conti, conti is good?
I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Very good coach.
Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
Sorry, I I went crazy on that.
Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
We can't judge a better Yeah, based on this season.
So what what's the three to one for that one?
Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Which game was it? Again? Just joking? Fletcher Sharp got
three points, Leo Thompson too, and James Schiller got one point.
He ran two hundred and fifty three meters.
Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
I forgot to mention Thompson. He's good. He's good and
he's going to be good next year as well. For
the Dogs, Gus can pick them. He's a good one.
Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, someone someone runs through the next game.
Warriors thirty, Cowboys twenty six. Tell us another quints?
Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Lad there you give it to us.
Speaker 6 (01:16:17):
For it was so hard? It was yeah, like no
one Queen's I am. I really like Warriors except when
they're Queens Ante because the fans are just brutal. And
I felt it in my soul because like you know,
(01:16:38):
med'sair and she's like, this is what's happening. I'm like,
oh my god, it was such a close, close game,
and I'm just again, I'm trying to see if there
was any do we have any injuries out for Cowboys?
They played so well at the beginning, like absolutely like
it was amazing at the beginning.
Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
How they was a half time schooliety, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
It was well, I've got twenty eight twelve for Warriors.
Warriors were up twenty eight twelve man.
Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Yeah, the Warriors played pretty pretty well, Tea on this one.
Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
I it was brilliant, like.
Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
He always is. Yes, drinking drinking was drinking was very good.
Didn't always always. He's good, love child, perdue, just keep impressing.
Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Yeah, he freaks me out. The size of him freaks
me out. I still a con't believe his he's great anyway, George.
Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
No, no, no, no, And and of course, of course the
forward pack, the forward pack, Tea. Uh, the nan. I
you know what, when he got dropped, he could have
either taken his bat and ball and gone home, but
you know what, he didn't, and he returned and he's outstanding.
(01:17:58):
I i't wait to see him the Maroon. I'm around Jersey.
He's that good. He's been playing that good. So look,
they didn't play bad. But what happens in over eighty
minutes they fall in and out of concentration. So if
you have eight minutes or falling out of concentration, this
(01:18:20):
Warriors team can take advantage before you're not. You look
up your fourteen meal down.
Speaker 6 (01:18:26):
The minute Metcalf scored his second.
Speaker 5 (01:18:28):
Try past so well it's not. Yeah, he played Metcalf
not only with his running game, with his kicking game.
He kicked the life out of this this this Cowboys team.
And I'm a fan of the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys.
Jason Tamalela, he's going to tell us he reigned over
(01:18:50):
two hundred meters. He's back at it. He's back at
his brilliant best. Yeah, he's back. He just he's carrying
this team or this four pack to victory at his
man again, Ruben Cotter, He's going to look good in
them around Jersey because he deserves it. But let me
tell you this, this Warriors team, I'm seeing habits which
(01:19:17):
they've got themselves into, which are good habits, which are
very repeatable, and they keep on repeating them. And when
you've got Metcalf kicking the life out of Metcalf kicking
the life out of the ball and getting the Cowboys
starting from there from their dirty ball coming out, it's
(01:19:40):
they're looking good. And I always said that I want
I want the Warriors to do well because they're carrying
the whole country. So well we have I should, I should.
We've got half of the ky guys in the anyway.
Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
The whole game, George, I did actually.
Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
You know what, I watched it, not live, I watched
it afterwards, and I actually got a little bit bored. Yeah,
I did say that.
Speaker 6 (01:20:16):
And then he just and the Persian that was there
was some brilliant tries, that is right.
Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
Yeah, the whole Yeah, the whole the whole day, the
whole day. We'll talk about a Tigers. We'll talk about
a Tigers try too, which was which was quite impressive.
But look, you know what, thirty to twenty six. I
don't think the score told us the full story, but
I was going to give us three to one. And
(01:20:42):
the Warriors move on to the next week. The the Cowboys,
they're not far away. They're not playing terrible, playing terrible team. Yeah, yeah,
they're not playing terrible tea. They're not playing terrible, but
they have got themselves into into a bad habit of
having lapses. They're coming back at the end, you know
(01:21:04):
what I mean. Which is a habit I think is.
Speaker 6 (01:21:06):
A habit at the moment. I think.
Speaker 5 (01:21:10):
Must be the weather too.
Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
You know, and out of the two young Rigade coaches,
these two of my favorite. I love Webster and I
love Peyton. I think they've done tremendous jobs. This game
was a pretty good game. Game of to halves. Luke
Metcalf got the three points. I thought the winger tell
Lagi was fantastic. I thought really good. He's a very
good winger. He's very No one speaks much of this guy,
but this guy is a very very good winger. And
(01:21:35):
he'll be in Origin again. He will be the first pick,
I think. And the other guy who could be end
up being one of the best buyers is Aeron Clark.
He ran another two hundred meders. This guy plays at
Locke came from the Titans, playing so well for the Warriors.
This Eron Clark, keep an eye on him. The lock
is a very hero. He's an unsung hero again. He
ran over two hundred meders and really plain well that's all, you.
Speaker 5 (01:21:58):
Know what, he's no nonsense the player. So he's got
a highlight, real player. But when you look at his stats,
you say, how how did he do two hundred and
twenty and forty five tackles? You know, these are the
players where that the teammates appreciate him.
Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Yeah, that was right.
Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
Okay, the next game, I'm going to tell you, oh,
twelve points turn around.
Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
I was going to Okay, what happened, Jameson.
Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
What happened was Jaden Sewer. He watched the Dolphins game
and he saw Raystone drop the ball over the line,
all right, and he said, hold my beer, I'm going
to make this trial look even worse. And he did,
and he did what an idiot?
Speaker 5 (01:22:49):
Like idiot?
Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
At least at least his Stone had a player hit
the ball out of his arm. Jaden Sawer had his
own knee hit it out of his own arm, like what?
And anyway, what a turnarout.
Speaker 5 (01:23:01):
I've seen some bad ones, lady, but that one takes.
Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
The turnaround from sixteen. I know, from twenty to sixteen
a half time it would have been. It ended up
being twenty six ten, massive difference. It changed everything. But
good on the Tigers. They had a turbulent week a
couple of weeks ago. They've won two on the trot
golden point win against the Sharks. They raced out to
twenty six to ten win over the Dragons at halftime
(01:23:24):
and continued with it so George looked like they were
going to get something, but then it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
It's funny, Sorry off just for a second, because you
say Tigers have had a couple of good wins, They've
had a couple of good weeks, and you go back
to last week and I'm not knocking them, and it
sounds like I am. You go back to last week.
In the NRLL, the issue is stayed into Cranala saying
you were ripped off. Golden point time the Tigers charged
(01:23:50):
down a field goal, the marker wasn't square. Cranela should
have been penalized in front of the post, which would
have given him the win. You look here, a ridiculous error,
likely could have had a different outcome. Yeah. Sometimes you
know what I've always said, sometimes it's better to be
lucky than good.
Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
You get that luck, you've got to be close in
the game. If I flogged after losing twenty points and
they got that little bit of luck, they still would
have lost. But for them to be you know what,
But you know what, at the end of the day,
they won the game. That they're in the top eight,
which is good to see. I love seeing Dewey. He's
playing more games this year. He's had a torrid couple
(01:24:31):
of years. Good to see him back. But yeah, they're
playing like they've got a lot of harmony. Terror May
has got to be the buye of the season. If
that guy is not the bye of the season.
Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Another rooster screw up in recruits time.
Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
That's a big time screw up. But phenomenal play. Maybe
that was a wake up call he needed. Maybe tar
May needed the Rusters to do that to him to
bring out his best because he's been fantastic. But Charlie
Staines looked like an absolute legend out there because Tyrrel Sloane.
I have defended him as much as I can. I've
just given up on this guy now. That was the
worst performance and I just can't. We can't do it anymore.
(01:25:08):
Defense is terrible. He just has there.
Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
His mate is not.
Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
I've never been too much of a fan of Suley.
It's just a battering ram. He will get you the meters,
but anything else.
Speaker 5 (01:25:20):
And can I say something. I think the wrong half
was dropped because nepotism. I went through that in the
ninety Oh yeah, for sure had the dog because your
name is the same name as the coach. You shouldn't
have a you shouldn't have the you should have a
first grade job. And I think they've dropped I think
they've dropped the wrong half. But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
They have please take your Arthur.
Speaker 5 (01:25:41):
But thet you.
Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Now the pleasing thing that came out of this for
Saint George fan the three best players on the field
with Stewart's coachman and and what's his name? Dylan Egan?
Dylan Egan was fantastic and this year and this week
they're promoting pacifica Tonga another junior to play in the
front row and the halfback like in Kingtogia. I thought
(01:26:04):
that first try that he set up was pure class.
This guy is going to be a really good player.
So our juniors are outshining the old guys. Alwer what's
his name, Val Holmes looked that Cay he'scored a nice
try when he went through and and got over. But
the other guys cold. He he's not using him properly.
(01:26:25):
Mate Little is giving him too much time on the field.
He's burning him out and then he's bringing a little
into late. He needs to sort of balance out a
little bit more it's a good combination to have those
two little and cook. But he's not using it right
and again's starting to show a few little cracks man,
and we're starting to get sick of it. But that's
all from me. Member, what do you have? You guys,
got anything else you want to add on this?
Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
Think pongy, leave him, just leave him developed?
Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
They got it developed there.
Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
Thirty four, twenty eight. I think he flattered you. I
think it's called flattered you. I think he's and and
I'm not going to go too much about the tigers,
but bullot uh, well, he's he's a superstar. He's going
to be He's going to be even more of a
(01:27:14):
superstar that we think he is. He's so good, he's
so good.
Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Did you notice something though? Not only did Suer drop
the ball over the line, it bounced perfectly into the
arms of bullet have to say, here you go, school son,
and he just picked it.
Speaker 6 (01:27:28):
Up and just Ray got the video of slow mo.
I think Coraig gone, I know, to the bathroom, want
to get a beer or something. And I had to
video it because he wasn't going to see it and
I couldn't remind it. And the slow mo is even worse.
Speaker 5 (01:27:44):
Worse when it happened and Buller went the other way
to call the trug no call it back. No, no,
no way in the world. No the off find nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
He points, he goes what what what?
Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
My god. First thing I thought about, I think he's.
Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
The boys When he went over. I went to get
a drink and I'm coming back and they going, hey
are you? I go what what can go wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
And I'll look back and I can see Buller running.
Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Never again.
Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
It's funny, like because when I first came, my master
was talking about Buller and then they didn't use him much. Well,
I don't know something happened last year, but when I
was watching that, I was literally I was like, I
was like, poor Ardie because that and you know the commentators.
I love them because is like God during magic around.
They're wild, the commentators, and I said that the same
(01:28:40):
as Origin. They were just like just unleashed. Hey, like
because I came back and they're like, oh, look at him,
just trying to regain himself and tryumph and I was like,
just stop, it's so bad. They're like, we have never
seen this ever in.
Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
This I've said it before. It's a show call, Benny Hill,
that's what you said. Honestly, Benny Hill, I'm telling you,
it was like it was the worst because Terel may
gets three points, made three points. Dylan Egan, he continues
(01:29:19):
to impress fantastic. He was the only guy that was
chasing bull of hard enough. Sloane just gave up. I
don't know why, but Egan showed a lot of heart
and Buller got the one point for that.
Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
He played really well all games. So that's three to
one for me.
Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
Okay and Sunday, the Titans George Dogs back to their
winning ways thirty eight points to eighteen over the Gold Coast.
Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
Started off like a yeah, started off like a house
on fire, and they and they then they started racking
up some points back end of the first half. Really
lost their way, really lost their way. Now I know
why the Titans weren't mentally mentally there, because obviously behind
(01:30:02):
closed doors things were things were happening. Obviously, they came back,
they came back on the coach obviously had had had
a talk talk to him, and they got back into
the swing of things and they started playing that physical
style of of of of of defense and and moving
(01:30:23):
the ball like they do. Uh, the fours moving into
each other, Serve and Crichton. If you want to see
I sent, I centered how I said I should play
the modern day game. It was therefore all to see
on on Sunday afternoon, Nicola Uh and the whole team
in general played well. I don't have too much hope
(01:30:46):
for the week coming up because there are injury and
suspension plagued. But against the Titans, and again I'm not
going to talk too much about the Titans because I
thought they're awful besides Tino. But we know why now
because there's obviously things going in the background which they
can't handle. But the eight for a that's about right,
(01:31:11):
That's about right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Yeah, well three to one for that one mate was
Connor Tracy and nearly got three hundred murders in that game.
He was pretty good, Connor Tracy, Jacob Preston. Unfortunately, the
guy's got four weeks off now because of that lad
shot or the high shot and big t famous. He
was outstanding for a losing team.
Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
I'm surprised you didn't give anything to Stephen Crichton.
Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
Sorry, man, I'm to be honest. I'm going to change it.
I'm happy to change it.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Stephen Crion, It's just become default now. He had a
bully game. He was one of those crazy one of
those tries he set up where he went to fake
a kick but he passed it to his reer. He's
just such a good player. But man, lose the haircut
seriously hard to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Let's just override, ride my normise on that one and
give him the three points then reckon.
Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I think all he's a good looking guy too, right,
Stephen Cory just needs to He just needs to walk
into any hairdresser and just say help me. That's all
he needs to say. Trust me. So some of the
penrith thirty two points to eight over the Broncos. Obviously
(01:32:27):
very disappointing Bronco side at home. Nathan Cleary apparently has
played his way into Origin again. I mean one good
game in eight so, I don't know what do you
guys think?
Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
How freaky was that try scored? It was literally identical
to the one he scored in the Grand Final. It
was amazing. Did you see it where he just no?
Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
I did? I did? I did? I just I'd like
to see a few back to back performances like that
before he gets put into an Origin team, when he
come into winning, Yeah, the team.
Speaker 6 (01:33:03):
Before I think it's I just feel like, one, it's
pretty rough, like they eat Broncos usually play on the
last day because obviously it's our home ground. Despite how
good the ground looked, it was shredded if you look up.
Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Close, it was it was reterfed twice.
Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
And plus like the you know the g output were
they second last game two, so you've got nerves and
everything else like they had outside of Ricky, they had
the same team as previously. But I just feel like,
you know, it was and someone said to me after
and I did feel bad. I was talking to Nicky
(01:33:44):
about it, but they're like, you know, I knew Broncos
with lose And I'm like, mate, don't talk to me
about Broncos. Like, you know, we always played badly against Panthers.
I'm like, we have beaten them eight times or seven
times every time at every meeting. It is just a
different environment, right, Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not
excusing Broncos that are terrible, but that kind of environment,
(01:34:09):
like they're the second or second last game of the round.
There's just a lot of stuff going on in that
that thing. But yeah, I just I wish Panthers didn't
do that win against the Broncos. Yeah, that was very
diffic like they I don't know if you guys noticed
the further the games were along and rougher they've got.
(01:34:30):
The next thing I'll talk about was the biggest biff overall.
But it was just yeah, it was just rough.
Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Fine.
Speaker 5 (01:34:39):
You know what's intriguingitana if you go if you compare
points for and against and the points on the table
from last year and this year, it's nearly exactly the same.
It mirrors. It mirrors both seasons, which I found, Yeah,
I found an intrigued The s said that I didn't
do it myself. I will, I haven't got time to
(01:35:01):
the end apparently leaving the forum against I think he's
a few points different.
Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
And the point that I didn't think they'd let that
much in last year.
Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
I thought, I thought earlier in the year they'll better
at the back end last year day they faded, I thought.
But my memory is like.
Speaker 6 (01:35:22):
That's why I was saying. I compared it to last year,
magic round and similar like this, but not just Broncos
just every every single one, and you know I still
remember because every Magic round the Lions win for AFL
Brisbane line. So that's the only thing I take is
a win because they won last year. Yeah, this was
(01:35:47):
just a it was rough and I hope Madge just
as a bit of a I don't know, a reassessment.
I don't know if you saw Addie because we didn't
talk about it in controversial corner, but ma'am has gone
down to Q Cup as well because he got booed
so loud. I heard it through the TV's.
Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
M Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 9 (01:36:08):
Yeah, in terms of in terms of looking looking overlooking
both teams, in terms of the Broncos, like I said,
they can't play have a forty minutes like they did
two weeks ago and do this.
Speaker 5 (01:36:23):
So it's obviously something between the years which Madge has
got to bring out. He's got to sort of bring
out of him, which he's probably Yeah, he's probably the
right coach for that. So look the preordinary unfortunately.
Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
In the Grand Final because they're not prepared that particular
team and not prepared for a Grand Final, like they're
not prepared for these big games. Because he's like I know,
it's magic around, but it's every single team in Queensland,
like Movie coming up to Brisbane. Like, I don't feel
like the Broncos can handle the pressure. They crumb under it.
(01:37:00):
If we look back in previously, well the.
Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
Good thing is we're only round nine and not not
round you know, twenty whatever, So there's still plenty of time.
Speaker 6 (01:37:11):
If they win on the fifth worst case, but still
like that's plenty of Yeah, it's plenty of time.
Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
There's plenty of time to because because the bones of
a good team is undoubtedly there. We thought it. We
saw forty minutes of perfection two weeks ago. Two weeks ago,
forty minutes of perfection.
Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
We were talking about that before you, before you joined
the My response with the Asua man doing things, wait
till the scouse to try. Yeah, and you watch the
crowd flip.
Speaker 5 (01:37:39):
Yeah, no, no, no doubt about it, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
But about a couple of weeks ago that played for
Broncos and he went to South as.
Speaker 5 (01:37:47):
Well, South Logan.
Speaker 6 (01:37:49):
Yeah, there's someone was talking about he used to be.
Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
It wasn't.
Speaker 6 (01:37:54):
Milford, it was it was someone else. But he'll be.
I need to look at the lot I might go
see him play.
Speaker 10 (01:38:04):
His logan clothes, just like talking about yeah, yeah, but no,
we were talking about that artie because when Meg was
at the game, she was like, fire, did you hear
that boot?
Speaker 6 (01:38:17):
Like when they panned over his face, and Reynolds is saying,
you know, it's not fair of us to put him
back in straight away now that these bands lifted. But
also they probably want to just test him out on her.
Speaker 5 (01:38:30):
Oh, you've got to have some games in the reggies.
Give him a run in the regie. He'll be back.
Give him, he'll be He'll be on the bench in
terms of score.
Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Was Clive Churchill winner three years ago?
Speaker 5 (01:38:44):
Oh no, he'll'll be back on the bench And in
the next month. Is that that about it?
Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Sorry? Just what I want to do that is it's
I think people are more upset about the Israelm thing,
about the punishment more than about him. What he did
was a stuff far everyone's more and he's wearing the
brunt of it. So at the end of the day,
then I rolling down. They should have just been anything,
thank you, And the next year when he comes back,
no one would say I think that's okay. He served
(01:39:10):
his for months, that's it for nine weeks. That's what
it's coppled so much.
Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
On the problem is that they actually all went heavier
than the law exactly. So it's you can almost like,
I don't agree with the punishment, but you can almost
defend them for saying, well, how can you go heavier
than the law? Like he should be aligned right, and
the law went off on him.
Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
Think about oh man, he was clear, he didn't even
have anything with the law, and he got two and
a half years and this guy is getting nine weeks.
Terrible anyway, Sorry.
Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
He got, he got, you didn't get. He got a
clap on the wrist.
Speaker 3 (01:39:54):
I'll say it again. High on cocaine, driving a car
with no license, it's unready to smashes into another car.
And he gets one week more than calling someone a monkey. Yeah,
think about.
Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
That's what That's not one mistake, Nick, that's fourth again.
Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
Registered, you're a monkey. I'll see you next year. Assistency
whatsoever with this with this judiciary? Yes, it's sorry with
the n r L themselves, and then and then, and
then you've got the situation with sorry off. Then you've
(01:40:36):
got the situation with the other idiot what's his name, Spanner,
Spencer Len you right, and Jonathan Thurston where he goes
up to Jonathan Thurston and the n r L says,
we won't investigate it because neither clubs has submitted a complaint.
Will you stick you those in everything else that happens,
and they had an invitation, why can't you intervene in
(01:40:56):
this and say, hey, mate, you're an idiot. You put
the game into district on Life Television?
Speaker 6 (01:41:02):
You know, yeah, I think I think it. What it
is the issue with Man's is one year up and
coming to you know, he obviously divided a lot of
people with the monkey comment and everything else being called
that and response to that, three on drugs for no
license and five hitting a family like.
Speaker 5 (01:41:26):
And yeah, a.
Speaker 6 (01:41:27):
Family that was in an uber. So they're traveling in
the most safest way, safest way possible whatever. I feel
like if I was and the clubs never do it.
We've spoken of us before I was his PR person,
I'd have been like, get in front of this and
have a conversation now. So if you're taking nine weeks,
you actually volunteerily take six months or whatever. Take the
season yourself. And even when I saw him in that
(01:41:49):
first moment, we're into Lombar. He didn't engage. You know,
he didn't engage with anyone where. Really you need to
get funny.
Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
It may it may have been strug not to I
don't know. They probably want to keep him away from
the public.
Speaker 6 (01:42:04):
He's the one that's going to suffer because now, mister present,
there's no leadership.
Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
There's no there's no leader. There's no leadership. Like. One
thing I don't stand for is when people say this
guy's are full time pros, right, you know, I know
he's only twenty years old. There's any twenty one years old.
All the all the George You've got a mute button there,
all the all the stupid ship that we did when
(01:42:38):
we were twenty years old. We knew exactly what we
were doing. They're not idiots, right, you know, you're you're
a professional athlete. You know he's on television every week,
You're on life television every week, and you go and
do that three or four dumb things in one one
combined rolled up dumb thing. Right. But again again, you know,
(01:43:01):
I've got a call out. He got one week more
than the guy who called him a monkey. Yeah, right,
and the law and I will penalized him harsher than
what the courts did. That's the hot mess that we
live in here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:43:16):
If I was his manager, I would have been like,
take you take the heat, you take six months, you
do whatever you get out there, you do an apology
an around that one hundred and four grand that you're
taking as a fine fifty grand and that's going to
the family, thank you very much, because I don't know
what family got in that sense, probably insurance or whatever.
For me, I don't know. I like you guys see
it the same way. But it would have appeased a
(01:43:39):
lot more people that instead of him waiting to get punished,
he actually punished himself. And then he did, he did
an actual pr you know, because he still didn't talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
And I just think, and I'm not comparing the two
for one second. They get me wrong, but you look
at the Galvin situation. All it takes. People got short
memories in this game, right, he comes back, he plays
a month later, it's all forgotten.
Speaker 6 (01:44:03):
If they're playing well, I think it's Galvin did not
get a full crowd booing at him at all.
Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
But watch that crowd flip when he's winning games for them.
That's why you see the hypocrisy.
Speaker 6 (01:44:17):
When he doesn't though, because this has gotten to his head,
and you know what is something bad happens to him
and his mental health and he hurts himself because all
these people sending death threats and everything else. Everyone will
be like, what should we have done? The ener l
should have done something, his playing manager should have done something.
And this is my whole frustration, not to go into it,
but with Galvin, who's protecting these kids?
Speaker 3 (01:44:37):
Right?
Speaker 6 (01:44:39):
What's the narrative too? What was he going through at
that point to be in that car where he felt
like he should be driving at that point at that
time of day or night.
Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
To be honest, probably just being a hell? Does he
He's probably just been a twenty two year old or
whatever he is assumption.
Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
Yeah, but there's something here that we need to unpack anyway.
But yes, he.
Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
We've all done stupid stuff. We just haven't been pinned
for it at all. Yeah, But anyway, forget about it.
We'll see what happens when he comes back. Have we
done the three to one? We have?
Speaker 5 (01:45:11):
We?
Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
I think George wanted to say a couple of things.
I haven't done the three to one.
Speaker 5 (01:45:16):
We've talked about the Broncos, so we know we're there, right.
They just did a little bit of work. But the
interesting part in this game. In this game was all
about the Panthers. You know, they started up, they started
off clunky, and they gave us the same as they've
(01:45:37):
been giving us for the last six weeks. But as
the game got on, they started looking a bit more
like the Peniff that we know, not not fully not
fully there, but started looking like the Pendriff. I want
to talk about Nathan and and Nicole just said that
(01:46:00):
he's been having an unhappy season and he has he's.
Speaker 3 (01:46:04):
We're going to put angels wings on him now because
he had a good game.
Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
I always want to talk about one, just one thing
about him. He has been having a unhappy season because
he's hips and his shoulders been all over the place
and he's been going sty war was not straight. But
what I saw from this game is he's usually a calm,
cool head, uh and he plays what he sees. But
I saw him playing with the motion and if he
(01:46:31):
if we add emotion in his game him, he might
actually go to another another level. That's that's what your
John's and those type of players. They play with a
lot of emotion. That's the first time in my life
that I've seen him play physically with formation. So as
(01:46:52):
we say he's either an E or C, imagine being both.
And that's the laws. Yeah, so that's what I thought.
And that's only a glimpse, and he might not be
there again, but obviously there's something different about him on
the day, and he and he dragged and and and
(01:47:13):
everybody felt in the team, everybody felt felt that and
and came along with him, and and that's what happened
here and and again. I hope he continues, but who
knows what his pende of team. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (01:47:27):
You could probably contribute a large portion of that to
the Broncos performance as well. They scored eight points.
Speaker 5 (01:47:34):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
That was terrible. They didn't that was terrible. They played
pretty much, so it was interesting. We'll see how you
guys against the Cowboys in Townsville this weekend. But I
just want to see I'm not I reckon he's fantastic.
I'm not knocking him. The one area where I do
knock him is that he does he has he has
not done it at rep level yet and that's what
(01:47:59):
we're all wing four.
Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
Yeah, but I heard that argument the other day and
I can't understand how some people have got Mitch Moses,
who's won an Origin series but never won a final
Grand final, and clear he has won three Grand final
He's been in five Grand finals and won four, Yet
he's not talked as much as Moses like they've got
Moses ahead of him. Where I think it's harder to
win four Grand finals than playing an orangin series.
Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
And one matters when you're picking a team for a
three game series, right, you're picking on form. You're picking
on current form, and don't forget how many Origins is
clearly played.
Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
It doesn't matter how many Mitch has been in a
good paramount system where they've had a window where they
should have won grand finals. One one shame me.
Speaker 3 (01:48:40):
A highlight of the Nathan Cleary Origin moment.
Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
I don't know. I've got to say it. I cn't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
I haven't seen one, Arthur. That's why you don't know
how many games does he played for your South Wales.
Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
I don't pay that much attention to origins.
Speaker 6 (01:48:52):
This is as much as how many games as he played.
Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
I'm going to look at it right now.
Speaker 6 (01:48:56):
I don't know if this is a trick question because
I just flake out when I see also the police.
Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
But if you played during the Fitler series, well, you
know we had a guy named Hayes Heinz who was
absolutely destroyed during the Philer periods. You know, he did
destroy a lot of careers or a lot of He's
played how many let's.
Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
Have a look here.
Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
Said half before him. It was hard before Cleary. Anyway,
Well you're looking or do the three two? One? Nathan
clearly got the three. Thomas Jenkins got the two. He
played really well that kid and Luke Garner the other center.
I thought he was otional. I thought it was really
good playing in the Senate. He's a backroller.
Speaker 6 (01:49:41):
Yeah, should have gotten just a nice pat on the
on the back for one scoring that only try and
to not dropping the ball. He didn't drop the ball.
She's like, I know, and we lost him.
Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
It's going to be interesting with Hunt when man comes back.
Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
Well what they do so before twenty four obviously he
didn't play last year. He's played in fourteen Origin games.
How many years is that? And we don't have one
standout highlight from him? Fourteen games fourteen appearances, one seven
and last seven. If you remember last year what Moses
(01:50:25):
did in game two, that's four years and then what
he did in game three.
Speaker 2 (01:50:30):
Yeah, I'm not doubting Moses head a blinder. I'm not
saying clear He's had four Grand Finals and starring.
Speaker 3 (01:50:37):
None of that matters in three weeks, right, none of
that matters in three weeks. But my point is, you know,
you know it's going to be the unlucky one here
if they're all fit. Is Jerome Luai. Yeah, I know
he'll be dropped. He'll be dropped. I don't do it wrongly,
He'll be dropped.
Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
I agree with that. But to me, Peter Sterling, to
me is one of the best halves. And I can't
remember a good origin highlight, but I can remember him
playing for Paramountic absolutely, and that's clearly likely, clearly as
the guns you know.
Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
On YouTube then, because there's quite a few origin highlights.
Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Yeah, of slow, Yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
I got I always I always joke with George. I
always joke with George because the first series in News
ever wonty five, Steve Motimer.
Speaker 5 (01:51:24):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
Broun.
Speaker 3 (01:51:26):
I remember George said to me, Steve more than I said. Yeah,
but Bret Kenny scored the match winning tray.
Speaker 5 (01:51:31):
He did, did, did and slow the best half back.
But why can't Why can't be the best half back
in the game. I'm just saying I believe he's the
best back in the game.
Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
I'm saying it should be picked on form, right, and
yeah and again again. If you look at his last
two games compared to Cleary's last, how many six he's
played this year? Five he's been into the first couple
of first game, missed the first six.
Speaker 5 (01:52:01):
You know, I mean it is the best half back
in the game. Yeah, I said that last year. I
said it. I say now, as a half back.
Speaker 3 (01:52:11):
In Origin, you're going to have those big moments. You've
got to you know, we've seen.
Speaker 6 (01:52:18):
I don't think I can talk to you guys during
Origin because you haven't experienced it yet.
Speaker 5 (01:52:22):
What I'm like, that's good, that's good. I want to
experience that. I want to experience it. I want to
see passion. You know what, besides besides escapism tea when
it comes to Origin, I mean, I think I want
to I hate the coach that we've got. I'm thinking
we're going to lose three and but once you get
(01:52:44):
once we get into the swinger thing, well, there's nothing
more of it than I want to win. So it's
good to see emotion. It's good. It's good to seemotion,
and even it's good talking about players. It's it's all,
it's all, it's all emotions. So it's great. It's fantastic.
There's no half feeling. It's good.
Speaker 6 (01:53:00):
Even already people were like, you know, because Broncos took
the new South Wales coach, new South Wales isn't going
to win. I'm like, you guys just need to play better.
Speaker 3 (01:53:12):
That's not that's not why we won't win. It's if
we don't win it because Lori Daily is a coach
and I like Daily right, Like he's one of my
favorite players of these one like the camera team is
one of one of my all time the eighties, early
nineties man, along with the early nineties Broncos team. Watching
(01:53:33):
them play team have like what you know what players
was a great player? Yeah right, Wayne Peace was a
great player, Terry Lamb was a great player. How many
of them succeeded as coaches?
Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
Yeah, I'm releasing the list, mhm, looking.
Speaker 3 (01:53:55):
Everyone for yet it's Terry Lamb and Wayne Peace coaches
West Tiliers too, right.
Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
Yeah, terrible look Daily coached during the Queensland Golden Period, so.
Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
I think I think it was more about that he
didn't take risks.
Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
Yeah, no, but I'm just saying that Bellamy coached during
that period as well and lost. He was awful as
well in Origin series and look at he was he was,
So we can't judge Daily on I'm playing against the
world class Queensland team. Maybe he won't surprise us.
Speaker 3 (01:54:27):
It's fair to say that surely he's learned his lessons
and should come in with a different approach this time.
Speaker 5 (01:54:32):
But the team is set out, it's basically incumbents.
Speaker 3 (01:54:38):
I just I personally think that, let's say, theoretically, for
argument's sake, if Nathan Cleary has two average games in
the next two weeks, as long as his fit, he'll
be the number seven. Yeah, as long as his fit,
he'll be the sixth. Could be mad in the match
the next two weeks, won't get picked, Yeah, probably, when
(01:55:01):
really it should probably be unless clearly does that again
the next week or two what he did last weekend, Right,
it should probably be Moses and Law and the funny
thing is that now you've got people like Andrew John's
saying the same thing now, and now the media is
starting to say it, whereas everyone was too scared it
was taboo before. No, no, no, clearly he's got to
(01:55:23):
be there. Yeah, yeah, she's been quite anyway. Can we
get a three two one on this game?
Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
We did?
Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
We did a clear golden.
Speaker 6 (01:55:39):
I didn't drop the ball, so he deserves somethin from me, said.
Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
Hm, what did you say?
Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
You didn't drop the ball, so he deserved one point
from me?
Speaker 3 (01:55:51):
Drop the ball?
Speaker 6 (01:55:55):
That This next game was.
Speaker 10 (01:55:56):
Wildrazy crazy someone, so I can.
Speaker 5 (01:56:03):
Best game of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
Yeah, do you want me to go through it?
Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:56:07):
Please please?
Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
Game of the round? All right, Game of the round.
What a thrilling finish. And just when we thought the
Bunker was not going to call any controversy that waited
for the last minute of magic ground to go, here
we go. I'm going to win a team agame for enough.
So it was fourteen to twelve a half time, both
scoring two tries each, Melbourne in the first half of
(01:56:29):
the half and the Raiders in the back end of
the first half. Second half was just fruition. They was
just going at each other and Melbourne got to a
nice eighteen twelve lead until the last minutes where Ko
Weeks does a nice Chip and Chase I love that play,
that's always my favorite and scores. It was like Billy
Slater style in the ground in the Origin game. It
(01:56:49):
was that top of Chip and Chase try, great try.
But the only thing that I really felt so for
at the end of this game was I would have
hated to be Stefano and Lierro going to It's Bellamy
in the.
Speaker 3 (01:57:01):
Dressing room game.
Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
Yeah, he would have tort shreds out of him. He
was right, but camera to their credit, mate, never give up.
Last week the up twenty eight ten down against Dolphins
and ended up beating him forty to twenty eight, and
this week they did the same.
Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (01:57:18):
This team is the most They're not the green machine.
They're the excitement machine because they are exciting to watch
and they've got a lot of young players. They've got
what's his name, Taperay who's leading first year. I think
his captain and his leadership is fantastic. But they're just
football and the youngsters are just outstanding.
Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
So what's interesting about Melbourne because they're probably still the
Premiership favorites. But yeah, how many games this year and
I know we're going off you know I'm being finicky here, right,
how many times this year if they lost the second half?
Speaker 5 (01:57:52):
Yeah, that's the mental issue. Yeah, it's a habit. It's
a habit that got into.
Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
I mean the they walloped Parramatta in Round one, but
they lost the second half. We all know what happened
against the Dolphins. It happened in this game, and I'm
sure it's happened in one or two others. You know
what it is to we're Melbourne Leary at halftime.
Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
I can't and I think Sir George were but not
missing Harry Grant and they're missing I don't reckon Jerome Sorry,
Jerome Hughes is one hundred percent. He's been Yeah, I
wouldn't be surprised if he's playing Bustard. They don't look
like they are one hundred percent some of these players,
so maybe that might be the issue. But I've never
seen the Storm be so hot and cold. Hey like
(01:58:32):
lose one day. It's really.
Speaker 3 (01:58:36):
Because I for one thought they were going to finish
pretty game. But they do pretty well.
Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
Yeah, they are, they're really good, good to watch.
Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
This week.
Speaker 2 (01:58:47):
Sorry, what were saying?
Speaker 6 (01:58:48):
What did you guys think about the win? Like Kistorm
thought they won and it was brought back.
Speaker 2 (01:58:55):
The field goals. Yeah, well it was the right decision
in the end because it was stupid. It was was
on the elbows. I don't know what the era was
deciding to do, and it was a stupid thing to do.
But it's controversial. I don't know. Maybe that was. But
one thing you've got to give credit to. We've got
the Raiders playing the Dogs this week. Right now, the
Dogs have only played one or two teams in the
(01:59:16):
top six and they got builted by Broncos the Raiders, right,
They've beaten the Warriors, the Broncos of Seagulls, the Cows
and the Sharks and now the Storm. So the Raiders
are just doing everything right at the moment. They're the
full team. They're beaten the teams at the top, you
know what I mean, Whereas the Dogs are beating all
the teams at the bottom and lost to a couple.
They're going to be the Sharks. Maybe they might not
(01:59:37):
might do a similar thing the Sharks.
Speaker 3 (01:59:39):
That's what I've got my foot in my mouth because
I honestly thought Camber wouldn't. I thought they just drop off.
Speaker 2 (01:59:44):
It's so impressive, it's unbelievable. I know George is hanging
add stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:59:53):
Stylistically. So I really enjoyed this game because both both
teams or no Canberra went to win the ruck they had.
They had to take the ruck away from from the
storm because that's where the storm. Everything starts from the
(02:00:13):
ruck and all the penalties, the Stefano penalty that it
was all battling Stalin is unbelievable. He's he's a little
terrier and he's been doing it for a month or
more now to win that ruck. So that battle was
intriguing for me. The pulling, the the the all the locks,
(02:00:36):
all those things, all the famous Melbourne tricks that are
all out but guess what the Raiders were doing it
back to them, So it was intriguing. It was intriguing
this team. There's a lot of this Raiders team. They
get into some habits which which are long lasting, and
they're getting some good habits. They're always in the fight.
They're not pretty to watch, they've got their own style,
(02:00:57):
but they're always in that bloody fight. So you've got
to shoot the baskets to get rid of them. I mean,
they're not going to go away. They're going to be
hanging around. Maddie Nicholson.
Speaker 3 (02:01:07):
For all his.
Speaker 5 (02:01:08):
Defaults in defense, he's got a beautiful little pop. He
can stand and pop. So if hats and young can't
get it done, like he didn't do it. He was
very good, but he didn't break the line. Maddie Nicholson
that that little pop which brought care weeks into the
game with that with that run was absolutely stunning. There's grit,
(02:01:30):
there's grinding his team and they're going to keep on improving.
I think now where it's going to take us at
the end of the year, I don't I'm not sure.
I don't know, but let me tell you there's something brilling,
there's something brewing in the Green Jersey this year, and
I can't wait to see where it takes us. They're big,
they're physical, they're young, they're fast, and I loved it.
(02:01:54):
I loved every every second. Yeah, I loved every second
of it. I really did the storm. Like we said,
they've got themselves into a into a bit of a
habit of starting like a house on fire, then just
putting their foot off the gas. It's a habit. It's
a habit which which I'm sure John Chris will get
them out. And in terms of the penalties, John Crest
(02:02:17):
is right, and that's why they got to spray. You
don't have the ball in your possession and you give
penalties away, you just don't. You just don't. And guess
what those two penalties. The other reason is they lost
the game. Yeah, and they lost the ruck. But they
will get that will get fixed by when Harry Grant
comes back. That will be sort sorted out. And I
(02:02:38):
think I think Art is right regarding the halfback Hughes.
There's something wrong. He's not the person. He can't be
Arty because he's not the person he was. Pap and
House it just lights things up, doesn't He just lights
it up. I love watching I really love watching Pap
(02:02:58):
and Uh what's that young winger? That habit that you
put and uh, Pate House, Yeah, he's he's so good,
he's so good.
Speaker 2 (02:03:18):
It was George Player was No, I'm talking wou is
a gun?
Speaker 5 (02:03:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
I think I think it isn't he Yeah? I think so.
Just trying to put him in anywhere now, just but
he's very good.
Speaker 5 (02:03:30):
Special Nicola, I really, really really enjoyed this game. He
had be on on the edge of feet and and
and I like, I liked it for everything around the play,
the battle, the battle of getting the upper hand. Like
I said that ruck, my eyes, my eyes were glued
on the ruck, all the little things I was doing,
the pulling the chicken, with everything. John Crest has pulled
(02:03:54):
out everything to win that ruck. I guesse what didn't
give a flying doing it back, not going it back.
So just this mash on the ground, this massive white It.
Speaker 2 (02:04:04):
Was so good.
Speaker 5 (02:04:06):
I loved them.
Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
How good was that Troy when he just kicked the
division He just knew straight away Pap was there. Kicked
the strain of his hands anyway, three three points to tap.
He was outstanding as captain at far. Logo got the
two points and Ko Weeks it's got the one point
for that game.
Speaker 5 (02:04:22):
He's he's so electric. He reminds me of what's that
in the nineties, Nicola, that that fullback that had he
was a chip and Chase Manta mullin remember him. He
reminds me of Week reminds me a lot of Marlins.
Just burn pace to burn, pace to burn. I love
that game, I should watch the Twyfe. I've already watched
(02:04:44):
the Twyfe.
Speaker 3 (02:04:46):
And mainly had to buy Magic Crown hmhm magic. So
let's get Crystal Wall Cristal.
Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
Before we go to that. I'm going to make a
plead to the inner real please give Saint George the
buy next year for the Magic Ground. We've never won
a game in Magic Ground.
Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I don't think give us the buye.
Speaker 2 (02:05:06):
Please, whoever plays next you guarantee wins. Anyway, next this.
Speaker 5 (02:05:12):
Week coming that against Women's Round, Women's Round, women in League,
women in leagually Round. It's one of my favorite, one
of my favorite rounds because you know, I remember my
mother carted me around at eight o'clock and in the
morning to certain grounds as well. So they do a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:05:28):
They do a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:05:29):
Our moms do a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
They do absolutely another game too and.
Speaker 5 (02:05:36):
Mother's which is even better. There you go, which is
which is even better?
Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
It m'll be talking about women. The women's New South
Wales team thirty to twelve over the Queensland Origin Game one.
That was pretty impressive performance by than yourself Welsh ladies.
Speaker 5 (02:05:49):
The first the first game one. I think the best
is yet to come. I think it's going to get
I don't think I don't think this. I don't think
God will continue to be a yeah, yeah, I think
it was. It was, Yeah, I think that. I think
the third game, which I think is in Queensland now
(02:06:12):
or maybe in Newcastle now, that's going to be the decider.
I can't wait. I can't wait. I really enjoyed it,
mind you can I just say something. The women's game,
it's starting to look more like the men's game. The
rest on the ruck. They're starting to wrestle and they're
starting to do all those things that I hate the men.
The men are doing, and I watched it. I watched
the women's because it was free and open. Now the coaches, obviously,
(02:06:36):
and the and the players are getting that skilled. It
looks a lot like a reel now.
Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
But anyway, George Trish Stratus from w W as their coach.
Speaker 3 (02:06:48):
Whotus George, Wait she is she's from the nineties.
Speaker 11 (02:06:58):
Oh right, okay, still rest get the natal boy back
on before I cut you off to Sorry, No, I.
Speaker 6 (02:07:12):
Was just yeah, I just want to put that last
round behind me for so many reasons.
Speaker 5 (02:07:20):
Your good stuff coming up now, move on.
Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
Let's do our tips, Crystal Ball.
Speaker 2 (02:07:25):
Let's go quickly through these. So we've got the first
game of the round tomorrow night, Eels versus Dolphins Eels.
Same as last week. Marshall king out CAFUSI in, who
do you guys want for this one? So I didn't
do much research on these, sorry, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:07:39):
I was in a rusting So I'm gonna I'm gonna tip.
Speaker 5 (02:07:45):
I think I think at home the Dolphins out of thoughts,
they haven't played bad since miss has been been back.
I think in front of their home crowd, and I
think they the favorites. They'll get the two points.
Speaker 6 (02:08:05):
Yeah, I was thinking Dolphins with and but I was
just thinking of what they're like at home with Races.
Speaker 5 (02:08:11):
Yeah, okay, yeah, Mitch, Mitch Love's playing there, Mitch Love's
playing early, same cround.
Speaker 2 (02:08:17):
I'm going to get Dolphins. I'm going to be different
because I think the Dolphins have been pretty good. Actually,
I thought they unlucky last against the Raiders, and they're
a good team. I reckon they're very underestimated to the Dolphins. Yeah,
so I'm going to still compliment, Yeah, full compliment they are.
They're getting Cafusie back. You'll ruddles and feathers. Anyway, so
three to one. Next game after that Friday night first game,
(02:08:40):
this is a battle of the This is an interesting one.
We got the Knights up against the Titans over at
McDonald's James Stadium. No change for the Knights. Jayden Campbell
Jojo for Feeder. How good our name is? Jojo? I
love that name, but Jojo, what's your thoughts on this one?
Speaker 5 (02:08:59):
Yeah, JoJo's back, but it's in Newcastle teeth. So being
in being in Newcastle and the rumblings we're hearing coming
out from the Titans, and the Knights had their first victory,
and I'm sure they want to pay back their fans
because I can guarantee you the same would be full.
I don't know how much it fits in there, thirty thousand,
(02:09:21):
but it will be full. They're loyal. I'm going to
go Knights nights.
Speaker 2 (02:09:27):
What about you, Tenure?
Speaker 6 (02:09:30):
Oh yeah, I think I'll go nights as well. It's
just too like off that last wind, like and they're
at home side. Note I did say this to Nick,
but Jack Cocker looks like a young Marky mark Orberg,
by the way, watch him crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:09:53):
Goat nights already one after. This is the Rabbit up
against the Broncos. Joe Gray named on the bench, mamozulas
your favorite player. Georgie is out, t Mitchell is back,
Humphreys is back, Ezra Queensland Cup. Pinch me.
Speaker 5 (02:10:14):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Apart from that, pinch.
Speaker 5 (02:10:18):
Me, I'm dreaming Broncos again on the plane coming to Sydney.
But I think from the last week performance the Broncos
might have had an interesting week of training. This week
they still depleted the Rabbits. They like what I'm seeing
from the Rabbits. The Broncos. They're dynamic. If they want
(02:10:40):
to win, they'll they'll win and win.
Speaker 7 (02:10:42):
Will Yeah, I'll go Broncos.
Speaker 3 (02:10:44):

Speaker 3 (02:11:00):
Sweet?
Speaker 2 (02:11:00):
You can everyone that's sick. Okay. Raiders up against the Bulldogs.
This is a cracking game. First for a second, no
changes for the Raiders. Preston out, Matt Burton is back
for the Dogs. Who do you guys like it? That
one Goo Stadium? It's in Canberra. Three o'clock.
Speaker 5 (02:11:23):
Yeah, same, yeah, look after after seeing what the Raiders
are done, they've got the pack to really upset us.
And I know we've got Burton back, but we've still
got a few injuries and we've got a few suspensions.
I'd like to say we're going to win, and if
we can beat we can beat the Raiders, well then
I know we're legitimate. But Rick, you will have these
(02:11:48):
guys at home just eating rural meat. So I just
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (02:11:52):
I go the Raiders as well, Clinton, Sweet home, all

And.
Speaker 2 (02:12:19):
Rick James. We've got a new nickname for this guys
last time, but now we're calling James. I was going
to say that one, but anyway, so we've got this
one here, which is an interesting game. Now, so George's
record win Stadium is not bad. We've been the Storms
last time there, so yeah, but Warriors different kettle of fish,
who do you like.
Speaker 3 (02:12:39):
I'm going I'm going to dragons.

You're going dragons?

Speaker 6 (02:12:51):
I'm going to give a dragons and.
Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Dragons.
Speaker 5 (02:12:54):
Okay, I'm the only one. ID. I like the habits
that the Warriors have got into. If they if they
show those habits again, Dragons might struggle. The kid that's
coming in he said, he is that that big backroller.
Speaker 2 (02:13:08):
Yeah, this guy's yeah, it's not the kid we saw
in the ridges. Okay, there's a kid in the ridges.
It's absolutely killing it named Nick to Granis. He's a
back rower. But they played in the centers last week
and he absolutely killed it. So he's very good. I'm
going to Warriors. I'm going against the Dragons. I heard
(02:13:29):
which coach said name?
Speaker 3 (02:13:31):
What was his name? Nick?
Speaker 5 (02:13:34):
I was speaking, I was speaking about him.
Speaker 3 (02:13:38):
I was laughing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
I can't remember which coach said up, but he said,
out of all the teams he's played, he reckons. The
Warriors are the hardest team to break down in defense,
and George aren't good at breaking down defenses even the
worst team, So the Warriors for me, I can't say
Saints winning this, but you never know.
Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
We've been I'm going to take a couple of mounts
and I'm taking a punt on the dragons that win. Yeah,
because they're they're kind of week in week out. It's yeah,
it's like they're running across the river. You know, when
you're jumping on the on the stones one you're fall
in the water. It's like, so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (02:14:14):
You know what is nick? The games that you think
they're going to win, they don't. But the ones like
when they lost to beat Melbourne and they beat mainly
a brook Vale, you didn't think that, you know. That's
that's why it's a good call that might happen. Cowboys
are next up against the Panthers. That finishes off Saturday night.
We've got Mitch Kenny out, but you've got no sorry,
(02:14:34):
Mitch Kenny is in. Brian Brian or he's in as well,
and so is Brad Schneider who's on the bench. Sam
McIntyre in for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (02:14:43):
Two inns there for Penrith to only got Cowboys at home.
Speaker 5 (02:14:49):
Yeah, okay, you're going Cowboys, Yeah, holy humorous team would
be a yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
But also just like they played quite well at home
and just after like I reckon everything, team is going
to go hard this week.
Speaker 5 (02:15:07):
Yeah, I'm torn here and ninth playing the fifth, ninth
playing fifteenth. You know what again, what I saw last week?
If they reproduced that form, PENI will win and win
will but can they reproduce that form? I'm going to
go penriff. I'll be the outlier here. But yeah, yeah,
(02:15:28):
I hope they do because, like I said, I love
watching good rugby league, so I'm going pennies.
Speaker 2 (02:15:34):
I'm going to get pennies as well. Mate. I think
it's going to be another soul taken all takers. Starting
off Sunday, we have the Storm Wow up against the
West Tigers. No changes, both teams as they were last week.
Speaker 3 (02:15:49):
So Storm throwing me at the end of the game. Yeah, look,
there was there was one year. There was one a
week before Magic Round. I think I might have said
this a few years.
Speaker 5 (02:16:03):
Ago and happened. Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (02:16:07):
Melbourn had a bad loss. Can who's against In the
press conference? You might remember this, Craig Bella, he said,
I'll replace the whole team before I have to. Nobody's
safe and I said he would, I said, and I
just said ship. We're playing them next week at Magic
Round sixty eight or something. I don't know what it was. Yeah,
(02:16:29):
just you know it's coming. You know when he said
something like that I.
Speaker 6 (02:16:34):
Wouldn't lose a lot this year, Like, yeah, there's just
I've seen his angry face looks I'm going to go Tigers.
That's probably gonna.
Speaker 3 (02:16:45):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:16:49):
They're getting a really good like the you know Galvin's
or playing nice little Galvin like Ryan. Yeah, I don't know,
Taruver's you're buller Bullers then, I don't know. I just
did something's wrong with Storm at the moment.
Speaker 5 (02:17:07):
Yeah, are the Melbourne Melbourne Park or Double am I Park?
After a lot? Can you imagine the top of week
the storm boys have had, I don't think very pleasant
them at three quarter pace the Storm and with that
their best storm work win and win will. Yeah, it'll
(02:17:31):
take them a while, it'll take them while to break
them down, but oh we will. We will.
Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
Big test for the Tigers. But yeah, I'm with you mate,
I'm going for the Storm as well. So we've got
three Storm tenures going the Tigers. And to finish off
of the round, it's a battle of the beaches. We've
got the beach Andy versus the Coronella Sharks. Jason sab
and Jake Trabovich are in the Sharks. We've got Daniel
Atkinson in and Taalaqui out?
Speaker 3 (02:17:59):
Is your in?
Speaker 6 (02:18:01):

Speaker 2 (02:18:03):
Which one?
Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
Oh voyage?
Speaker 3 (02:18:16):
I'll go well rested mainly at home.
Speaker 5 (02:18:19):
Yeah, yeah, coming, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I really
don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You know what,
Please shame me something. The sharks that they're they're they're
talking Top four. Show me something, sharks. Shame something, shame something.
Speaker 6 (02:18:41):
Yeah, I'm going Eagles.
Speaker 5 (02:18:47):
Yeah, they haven't got a shark. Haven't got a very
good record at four points. If I'm if I'm not wrong,
I have no, I didn't get to do any of that,
haven't too many times. So for then tenous benefit.
Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
Remember what Jay Gibson used to say, it's just a
patch of grass with a fence around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
basically that matters when the bill rings. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:19:11):
I might go the Sharks as all mate. So we've
got two sharks and yeah, two sharks and too manly
for that one, I think, and that rounds up the round.
Speaker 5 (02:19:20):
They're very similar teams in terms of in terms of quality.
So I expect the humdinger of a game.
Speaker 2 (02:19:28):
I really do.
Speaker 5 (02:19:29):
Even even stylistically, they're not that far away. Both teams
like moving the ball, big outside back, bringing the ball back,
so it might be a might be an entertaining game
on our Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:19:45):
And they.
Speaker 2 (02:19:50):
Now Super League results just quickly, We've got the Castle
for Tigers eight, Wakefield Trinity thirty two.
Speaker 5 (02:19:56):
They keep on, They just keep on. Those youngsters just
kept on doing the I didn't doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
Yeah, they sure do. We can worry his twenty two
Warrington Wolves twenty close game there.
Speaker 5 (02:20:06):
Yeah, you know what, they might have won, but Wigham
is still out of thought and Sam Sam hasn't got
his team humming yet. They desperately need a half back.
And you know what, Tristan Salet does not look happy.
It doesn't look happy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (02:20:22):

Speaker 5 (02:20:24):
Sorry? I sorry, sat Helen? Sorry, Wigham? Sorry? Yeah, yeah,

I'm sorry, I got yeah, I remember the game now. Yeah, yeah,
Big Sam hasn't got his team hummy. That was a
really good game. Yep, it was a good game. Yeah,
we're going it's just a good team, just a good team.
They just steamer all the teams.
Speaker 2 (02:20:45):
Another close one followter that. How does Piel Giants twelve
ten st Helen's Do you want to talk about that one?
Speaker 5 (02:20:54):

No, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (02:20:55):
St Helen's four, Leeds Rhinos bright after team seventeen.
Speaker 5 (02:21:00):
Now Brad Arthur say whatever you want to say about him.
He amazes me, he laughed. At the end of last year,
he generally picked up not a good team. They weren't
a good team and he gave him enough structure to
just miss out of the eighth. This year they're top four.
(02:21:21):
They're not a good team, but because he gives them
enough structure and they give him parks to do what
they have to do, they come over most of the teams.
The guys a good coach. The guys are very good coach.
And I hope he goes to Perth because he's the
perfect coach for Perth.
Speaker 2 (02:21:41):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:21:42):
He's got nothing, there's nothing there, there is not And
when I look at him individually, I go they're not
good players, but together they're good. So I do want
to give a shout out to Brad Arthur. That's all,
you know, he shouldn't be. He should not be He
should not be super League. He should not be super League.
When when Australian coaches go to England they take Wigham
Auton Helens, they big, they take the big teams. This
(02:22:04):
team when he took them was second last last year.
Speaker 2 (02:22:07):

Tuvy went over to England. He was horrible, apparently ship
apparent heated himself anyway. Col Kingston Rovers fifty four, Selford
Devil's nil and Leopards. Sorry mate, you want to get.
Speaker 5 (02:22:24):
