Speaker 6 (04:12):
Good night yourself?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, not too bad. Welcome back from last year. We
had an we beature last year, didn't we? I think
it was one thing. It was one a last year,
wasn't it one? That's right, okay, I'm just run through
the mainly, so i'd like at the back Sob and
Tommy t are the wingers Cola and Gary and the

(04:35):
sender's Brooks in d C have Josh l i A
and Jesse Davanga and I want to go out to
back Jake Simpkins, Nathan brown More and simply on the
bench is the adeens man cheap offers Vallet and she

(05:01):
came the rest of the team. So welcome to the podcast.
As I'm just going to.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Say, you're.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Out of the block. So I think it's your. I
think it's your. You're Mike's stilling that noise. I it
is anyhow, and he's better. Thank you very much. You
come out of blocks, flying mate four winds and then
boom you lost Turbot Big lost, and then you lost

(05:36):
the Surf Club Rivals. Without Tommy, You're only thirty five
percent win, right, is it not? Tommy Nmele. I'm gonna
ask you that again. Every year we ask you, is
it Tommy Meal?

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Look at it? Every year? I tried tony it, but
every year it gets harder and harder.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
I thought, we we're looking a lot better now of
Lehigh as our little substitute it, but you might need a.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Little bit more game time.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Before I was going to ask you what your thoughts
on Lehi? I was a little way he came.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Through last year.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
He d inn down at brook Felle and we got
the win, and it was everyone's like tom who a
little bit of second year syndrome at the moment, but
he's only got room to improve.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
We've been going win loss, win loss, win losses twenty
seventeen and that was our last actual winner. I think
it was a lot of land back then. Yeah, what
did mainly need to do too? Like they've they've gone
two losses in a row. What do they need to
do just to break their losing streak?

Speaker 6 (06:48):
I think we just need to We had a bit
of controversy line.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
He's a mute.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
You got me, yep, yeahful.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
I think we had a bit of controversy the last
couple of weeks, obviously, with Cherry Evans announcing his not
playing for the club in twenty twenty six. I think
it's just sort of rattled the club just a little bit.
We're still all thinking about It's still it's still the
talk of the town and we just need to put
that aside us and start focusing on the future and
Cherry's last year with the club.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Melbourn's always gonna be tough.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
But to have forty eight put on us at home,
that was not great and then go down to go
over to Perth and lose to the Sharks. Yeah, And
although the scoreline didn't suggest so we did, we didn't
deserve that school line.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Now, I thought, I thought your guys were a little
bit soft in the middle. And when when you when
you were when when your bench comes on it gets
even softer. I think, what can merely do about that? Like, yeah,
again against the Storm you were soft all over they
will score it everywhere, but against since the Sharks it

(08:00):
was more.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Yeah, it was we lost, we lost a second, We've
lost in one of the early rounds. We've lost himntil finals.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
We've got, We've got. We've always lacked a bit of
depth in the front row. We've got a few young
guys coming through like Claire, Caleb Navle and and Bully
Moore's stood up for us this year as well. I
think we just need to set I like the bench
rotation of Bullymore and Brown coming off the bench, but

(08:33):
I think we just need some strike up front and
someone just to settle the troops for the first twenty minutes.
Whether we move Jake to that front row and put
Brown at lock, but it's yeah, we need we need to.
We need to sort that out. Or maybe if we
debut a couple of guys and get some games under him,
but we need to sort that front row out because.

Speaker 6 (08:53):
We just we just get tired after about thirty minutes
and we just dropped the ball.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah. I got to talk to you that day as well.
Him and Brookes a good combination. Are they doing enough
in your eyes to run to be happy enough? I
don't think they're doing it enough.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
I think I think they I think they I like
the combination they got I like, I like DC Easter
and the show on. Brooks just been that step back
five eight who can just use his running game and
take take take his hands on the ball when he
needs to. But at the moment, I think we just
need to stick to our game plans. We're not as

(09:36):
soon as something doesn't go away, structure falls apart. When
everything's going away, Brooks and Jerry Evans the most damaging
combination in the league.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
But as soon as as soon as.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
We get to cheap try against us, they just they
try and play off the cuff footy and just it
falls apart.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, they do play good off the cuff, were either
the best team from in their own half the score
try I reckon when they throw the ball and you
got on one so and Garrett on the other, you know,
and then I'm sorry to on the other side and
they're by space. So we've got to watch them then
this week.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah sorry, sorry, yeah, I was that. Having to all
our back in the in the team now, it's going
to be massive for us. He obviously played his first
game with Year last year.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
But it's even though it is off the cuff footy
coming out of our own end that is our game plan, yep.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
And that's and that's how we scored. That's how we
do well.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
But as soon as we had something go wrong against us,
we start to panic and start making.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
My most favorite trial of mainly is was when Gary
picked it up on the dead ball line and then
I think to Turbo scored down the other end around
round twenty five. Yeah, that was over. That was a
great try that he picked it up his dead ballline
and he scored on the Troy line. Anyone asked a question, yes, right,

(10:58):
anyone asked any questions for Adam.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
I'm good to see you too. I don't remember the
last year. Was great to have you back on again, mate,
so thank you for yourself and Big T. I guess
the thing for me we're mainly in with the Dragons
is inconsistency. You know, one week we can be beating
one of the top teams, or we can blowing your
team off the park, and next week we can be

(11:24):
mediocre or you know what I mean, I went to
lose one. I guess it's consistency, mate, that's the thing
that I see, you know, for both teams. So it's
going to be a really interesting game. You know come
the weekend, because there's been some adversity of course with
Cherry Evans.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
That was the thing I was going to say.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
It's probably disappointing that, if it's true, the ends up
going to another club, that you can't be one club,
you know, man. I'm actually cousins on the other side
of the family of jeff Tudy age fifty five, and
I know Jeffrey was one club man. He got offered
actually by the Dragons to go the Dragons, but stayed

(12:04):
with mainly so it would be tough.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I measured on the.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Plays and on the you know, knowing DC is going
and yeah, so it's a little bit of an interruption,
but hopefully you know, they'll turn turn that around the corner.
But not this weekend, of course, not Thursday night.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
But he when it first got announced, our first game
was that brook fowl against Cabra. He got he got
a standing ovation when he ran out on the field.
The fans love him.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
Look, if he goes signs with the Catalan Dragons over
in in the Super League, I'll be more than.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Okay with that.

Speaker 7 (12:39):
Yeah, but it would it would hurt me to see
him playing another club, whether it be the Roosters or
Bulldogs or I could. I could easily see him, see
him in the Super League, and you might actually get
me a Dragons fan out of me.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I think he's Dolphins too, hasn't he? Yeah? Yeah, it's
not long.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
You can't go another season. I mean we you know,
I was probably one of the main, the main people
that had a problem ben Hart because you wanted out
of the Dragons so many times. But obviously these guys
can play thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven, yeah, thirty
eight maybe even you know, Cam Cameron Smith, I think
as a Uka played.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Paul Paul Gallan was thirty eight.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, apparently they reckon he's the fittest in the club too.
Yeah yeah, so fitting the younger Blakes.

Speaker 7 (13:31):
He's lost in fifteen years of Vanarel, he's missed like
twenty games or thirty thirty games overall, including Origin games.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Incredible, incredible in Origin as well too, I mean far Queensland.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, come on time, nor.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Me very much. Now, are you any questions sir?

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Let me see.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
If you were manly, well, how would you attack the Dragons?
Where are their weak ones?

Speaker 7 (14:10):
I think I think we're just got to stick to
what we know and just attack from our own owner
and go out the sides.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
You've got Entrepreneur out this week. I think he's got
a hamstring injury.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
So who's replaced thee Frenoi you know, Yeah, so I
think they'll just be attacking, attacking those edges the same
as we do from inside our own half.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Starves back this week, Claws playing again.

Speaker 7 (14:38):
And just play what we know, stick to what we know,
back the home crowd behind you, and just get back
to winning a brook.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Ow Yeah, Jess, it's gonna say, mainly beveraged over thirty
points a game in their games so far at home
this year. What do you think is the key to that?
And you've had some deser crowds. I think there's been
sellouts pretty much all of them. Is Brookie starting to

(15:05):
become a fortress again like that once was before as
it's called Fortress Brookie?

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Yeah, I think yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Obviously we lost to Melbourne last round, but I've been
every Brookvale game since that post COVID twenty two, twenty three,
twenty four. It's just been building and building. We're selling
out a week in a half advanced at the moment.
My Dragon's mate from now the Coast bart is ticket
a week and a half ago and it.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
Was selling out. It's is it is a fortress.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
Like the crowd's there when we're up on the hill
and I've got friends in the far ground stand and
hear our chance and hear our screaming and shouting, and
I wouldn't imagine it's a nice place to visit as
an away team.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
But yeah, we just at Brookvale. We get behind the team.
It's seeing Marona goals and we're just back every week.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
I was going to say it, you wouldn't want to
be Leon from the Many Johns Show and visit again?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Would you get hit?

Speaker 6 (16:01):
Not at all?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
That wasn't fake either. That was real.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Enough money for that.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
You wouldn't. Have you heard any of the rooms about
Lucky Galvin gun and Manly.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
I've read that he's like he's looking to go down.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Same manager or something as Sea Bowl or something.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yeah, Moses, Yeah, I don't think he's what we need.
I think we need a structured half back at the moment.
Leave Brooksbury is I don't want to. I don't want
to mess with Brooks and put the pressure back on Brooks.
Would would I take him?

Speaker 9 (16:39):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (16:40):
But I'd probably be taking Jamal Foggery over him at
this point.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, a few clubs looking at Jamal Foggy.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Apparently offered him at a two year deal, so just
a matter of time. I have heard the Raiders have
plans for young Ethan Sanders to bring him through, but
he's still very young. So but Manly's offered him a
two you do. Have you heard that too, Adam?

Speaker 7 (17:06):
Yeah, I think it's the first reports where is a
million dollars for two years. We were all laughing at
that's five hundred thousand dollars a year, but I think
that's bumped up to six hundred or six fifty now. Yeah. No, Look,
I think Jamal is exactly what we need. We've got
a couple of young guys coming through.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Joey Walsh.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Is the is the main one, and he's about two
years away from first grade. So I think it's the
perfect in between where the foggerty after that moves to
a hooker role and sort of leads the team from
hooker and while we got the young half.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
I think it's the perfect fit for us.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Signing you lost Jamie Humphrey, Sydnor the Sees.

Speaker 6 (17:45):
Yeah, Jamie Jamie humphreyes. We also lost fineal from the
to the Tigers.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Ye another young half a one of those young blades
that won yunder was Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
How do you feel that he's not playing this week?
He's been one of the four wings of the coomp
this year.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Sa, Who is that Christian money.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Money man? He started?

Speaker 7 (18:22):
He done off great. I always liked him. It was
a manly It was manly before you guys. Yeah, I
think I think he's a great wing. I'm I'm stoked
he's not playing this week. I don't think I could
handle him going over a Brookie and give me a few.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
All right, Jess, you want to just started up and
that this this time of night, Guys, we'll go for
a walk down memory Lane. That's manly this time. I
brought you by no Dot you for anybody there. Small
back to cano company that make beautiful Kendals. Check him

(19:03):
out on Facebook. Our website is coming soon, all right.
Play thirty six games between Mainly and the Dragons. Twenty
three wins for the Dragons, thirteen wins for Mainly, eight
one hundred and thirty six points. Dragons have scored in
six hundred and fifty eight points mainly are scored those
within those wins, so little bad effort by the Dragons there. Alright,

(19:27):
We're going back to Friday, September fifteen, two thousand and
six Dragons and Seago semi final series, Ossie Stadium, Referee
Paul Simpkins, crowd thirty thousand, nine hundred and seven. We'll
just run through the shades teams on Qi clink Great
childs Well, Chris Kick Clinkberry Chills played for the Dragons
for a couple of years. He's a Sotel Panther junior.

(19:48):
They're up on the North roughcast in New South Wales.
Thirty five games, eleven tries, didn't do much in Australia.
Debut against mainly in two thousand and four, didn't do much,
but then went to England. Well went to Friend played
for the Calahand Dragons for a number of years, one
hundred and forty six games, six tries, and he actually
played for France and he qualified because he lived there

(20:08):
for three years. So well done, Clinton, Well done, Sower,
all right, go through the things. He and Nogama and
Morris and the wings Millard and keeper for the Dragons
in the center's Barrett, Honby Bailey, Gold and Ryle, Ryle's
up front, Bick of staff who's played his hundredth games
in this game, Simms and Timmins on the bench, data

(20:29):
around the coach, Kray, Wicks, Poor and Maddie Head on
the bench. Mainly coach by Des Hasler. Back then I
think he done two or three Stinstant mainly the Snake
at the back, Steward at the back, Robinson and Stevenson
on the wings, Hicks and Mattie and the Sena's Burns
and Orford in the harts, King Monahan and Kaite Mensis.
What now Kennedy lost the scrum, Dunnley, Williamson, Luluwai and

(20:52):
Bryant on the bench. All right, twenty minutes going back
on the forwards. I watched this game. A couple watched
this game the other day. Got back with the forward
to twenty minutes, nobody could score and then Dragons bemos
over for Troy. Where are we looking for me? It
was his rookie season, that's right, cry Might and forty

(21:15):
made break played the ball twenty minutes out when the
ball went across the lawn with the Barrett on the
bigger staff. He passes it back to green Shales. He
closes his eyes and fries the ball over his head
and lansing Bemos' arms and he scores out in the corner.
Dragons were six nil after the kick. Oh Aaron go
and kicked the penalty goal to make it oight now

(21:38):
I was half to score right now. Dragons mainly knew
it's taken half fraud after half down and the captain,
that captain, he goes over the scores a typical ben holmby.
Troy gets the ball, steps runs, dummies and just bodges
his by right. I think he thought, I think he
thought he was the front rower. So twelve zil sixty

(22:01):
fourth minute, mill scores a try ball from head to
Barrett to Hornby. Let's look at those names, super great names. Barrett,
he throws a long bulletball to be man's on his chest.
He goes into the Robinson and many tackle fix the
ball at the back of the mill. Millard goes over
six day nil. Sixty seventh minute. Ashton seems were an

(22:25):
absolutely perfect ball, perfect weight on the ball, kicks it through.
You see Maddy keeper there, he's the first one of
there Dragons twenty two mainly nil and this last try
after Aufor kicked the ball off his twenty Bree Morris
picks the ball up on the halfway wage is way

(22:46):
through a tied mainly defense. Who were up there, they
were staggering, they were staggering. This went through there, scored
the try. Well done well. Donemos scored two try that
night seven a half minute Aaron goal kicks the goal
three from three from Aeron wasn't the garma. Wasn't the garma?

(23:07):
Not one for one mad he head none from two.
He wasn't a bad kicker. He hit a couple of
a couple of our clutch kicked for us. So he's
done his done his work. Sixty seven tries, sixty seven
games on the Dragons, seven tries, ninety five goals, one
field goal, twound and ninety points and the fifty five
to seven room rate at the Dragons. That's not too bad.

(23:27):
After football, he went on to coach and that Lake
and earies, but both the Dragons and the shark kicking
coach Tiger's sg ball Dragon under twenty on the twenty side.
I think that's Tota Cup covers seven to nine eighty
assistant coach to Griffin the twenty one. Now he's the
head coach up at winning mainly so and I hope

(23:48):
he goes along all the way. So that was full
time Dragon's twenty eight mainly nil in the two thousand
and six semifinal, knocking them out of the semifinal. Ben
Kennedy played the lass game for the for the mainly
Ring of Seagulls. Thank you for joining me. That was
behind me line and I walked down memory Lane. That's
been a big tea presentation brought to you by the

(24:09):

Speaker 4 (24:19):

Speaker 2 (24:20):
That's a young Jess's show me your pan tell us
a story about this phanto, Jess.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh, as you are as a kid, everyone wants to
be a superhero and I just pretend just be playing
dress up as a superhero as a kid.

Speaker 2 (24:34):

yeare thanks for saying that, Father and Jess. If anybody
who else wants to send the father a little bike

(24:56):
it up there like I'm just learning, Jake. The rest
is history, jests, and there's much much more to be
no made. So I'm back to you in the Central
Comedy Box.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Well, notice it's funny thing you said that the twenty
eight Neil Big Teeth. Both times we've actually beaten, mainly
in the seventyes and Georgia Laura both tens. We won
twenty eight nel qualifying final. We won twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was going to mention something really interesting you said
twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Twenty eight years ago there was a very didn't get
try scored against Manley and I don't know how old
you are, matey eight remember watching that. I was with
some mates and we almost got kicked out of the
club because Manley lost.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Sorry Adam and Darren. Albert's going to time to new Castle.
I got knocked off my seat.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
The guy the boys was so greeting for the UK.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
All right, give us a prediction for the game, Vents.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
I think we're going to start strong, hold it strong.
I think we're gonna have the behind us heading into
the long weekend. I reckon we'll get up thirty two
to ten.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Try scores. Who's going He's going to score those thirty.

Speaker 7 (26:11):
Two points too, will get a double. I think we'll
have Brooks do a show and go go over the line.
And bully Moore has been scoring like I'm scoring for
fun at home this year. He's got four tries already.
I think Bully Moore will get over as well for
one or possibly a double.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
And who do you think is the biggest threat to Manly?
Which plan do you are you worried about? For the Dragon?
The Dragon?

Speaker 7 (26:39):
I'm scared of the old Manley junior clink, Yeah, everyone's
scared of again. Yeah, narrow and a Hawks boy. I
think he's just he knows what it's like to play
at Brookie. He grew he grew up around the area
and he still is still quite close to some of
the Manly boys.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
I think.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
I think if any if anyone can get under the
skin of us, it will be him.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
In the extra to go back to Mainly and ask
to go there before you join the Dragons.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Oh what wouldn't he.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Merely said, only said no, we don't want you.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
Yeah, I haven't know that's the first that one. But
I think we are in the terms of fullbacks, I
think we've got a few of them at the moment.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Garret's not a bad fullback, are you Nada's color? That's right? Yeah, alright,
thanks very much, you'd be absolutely thanks legend again. We're
play again this year. We play a round.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Twenty sixth or twenty Devin A Cobra.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Let us know if you can make it. Great to
have you again.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Good to chat you talk to you saying thanks.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
All right, so we'll get into a chat about our team.
So everyone was hoping it was going to be now,
but as no surprises, Flanna has gone with Matt Fein
to come in for the injured Christian. To give us
your thoughts on this, rob why not the only thing now?

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Look, I think it's again Flane gained the experience experience
from the past, but it disappoints me because I like
that extra speed in the back line, Jesse. We're a
very big back line, probably with the exception of Slain
obviously you can motor. For the rest of the boys
are pretty big. They're not fast, but they're physical and

(28:39):
just that extra pace, you know, would have been great.
I know it's only charity shield obviously, he was exception
on the Charity shield. Most thought he deserved another guy,
you know what I mean. But you know, I think
he's just got one experience. It seems to me what
flannel does. Although the mind you we've had obviously Dylan
Egan come in, Hamie Stewart, but for some reason with

(29:00):
the back line, I don't know, he doesn't seem to
Maybe you want to gamble that way, but I think
he should because you're gonna look to the future as well.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Right at the end of the day.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, big tea, so lucky ilias he's come a lot
about under a lot of fire for his form in
the last few weeks. Do you think the pressure is
off him a little bit now that we had the
win against the Titans or he's got to back that
up and he's.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Got he's got to back it up. Mate. Even his
manager Brave for Asta give him a rocket. So yeah,
I think he's going to show it up again. Ever
ever since added him in press conference, I don't think

(29:48):
he's missed a beat. So hopefully you can build on
what he did last week and yeah, become a better player.
And he's a good player now, don't get me wrong,
but it can be better.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
I think it.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Nasa said three to four games, so I'm sure believe that.
Because he's the player manager. I think he's trying to
motivate ilias as well by putting out there as well
that what Fern did. But yeah, three to four games.
Obviously the Titans game was the Titans game. But now
they're playing Manland and the Roosters, right, assume they're going
to be tough games.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Well, Billy, one thing we did notice in that game
against the Titans, like we we had a big lead,
we couldn't go on with it. Mainly, as Rob highlighted,
there a different kettle of fish. They if we go
off on them, they could pile on the points. They
averaged thirty plus points at home this year. What do

(30:48):
you think's message would be and if we've got them,
if we're out to a big lead, we've got to
go on with a job and grab them by that throat.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
Yeah, well, I think the message would just be quite simple.
Just do the basics of the game of the ball
completely sets. You know, we've only completed over eighty once
in the five games of the season, so if we
just stick to that and we can hold the ball
We've seen what we can do in the attack and

(31:19):
without dropping the ball giving stupid penalties away. Our defense
has been pretty solid otherwise. So if we can if
we can just be simple, could go a long way
on the weekend.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Ye now, Lichi and Lewis been named on the edge
despite starting that Titans game off the bench, Big t,
what do you think do you think that there's a
chance that that could switch up before kickoff? Dylan Egan
had a strong run on debut, didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
He Yeah, let me answer the question. Had a great
game last week. You're going to have the match. I
think are player of the match. I wouldn't be surprised
if you did it again, and I wouldn't be surprised
if you didn't do it and let him have arrest
on the bench this week. So it depends on depends
on how how how if la Lula starts starts Yeah,

(32:12):
I don't know what what preach Flinagan is going to do,
but i'd start Egan, yep.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
And lay Lu had a bit more of an impact
off the bench. Do you see Lailo as an impact player?

Speaker 7 (32:24):
Robert?

Speaker 3 (32:24):
How did you see his game off the bench as
opposed to starting in the games to start.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
The I agree, I think he's an impact player, Like
we're big T saying, I think he can be explosive
that way.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
He's a big guy.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
So I don't know if it really benefits him starting
and even playing more minute if you can use him
as an impact I mean, you've got the lives of
Vegan downcounchment.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
He will just go all mate, maybe go for you
young fit. Yes, so it looks to me, big T
he might be.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Wanting to start with a bigger pack against May. Maybe
they the only other thing I can think of, bigger body.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
They have got a big pack. Yeah, I think maybe
they're a huge pack as well. So yeah, we've got
to watch them. But I think I think that Egan
can handle that handle that. He's just that sort of player.

(33:23):
He goes for, he goes for one hundred minutes. He's
got a big major.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
We know what he what he puts out here now
before the game can change, exactly right. He likes not
playing games. He likes, you know, making last minute changes.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Billy Matt Feeney hasn't played since that Round one game,
and we all know up in that game Matt Burt
absolutely suffocated him and the Bulldogs kick chase. They just
would not let him run all night. Do you think
d C E could would be watching that footage and
and plotting a similar raid on on Matt Fenn.

Speaker 8 (34:02):
I mean they would be dumbe not to try and
kick towards him. Out of all our back line players,
the ones to catch the ball, Gathos catches it safe.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
He's safe under the high ball.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
Still runs about ten meters every time, and Sloan is
pretty safe as well. From what I so, Feno is
probably the best option for Manley and DC with He's
a dangerous skiing game, so he'll probably just realize that
himself and absolutely tiring him. I'm maybing Fenie can just

(34:35):
come up and have his best game for us in
a while.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
So, yeah, we were talking. We're talking the earlier ability
of last see dumbs in twenty twenty one, wasn't when
he scored that against Brisbane. Yeah, talking about we were
talking about it before he really has really he really
has to pull his socks up. He does.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
Yeah, I feel like Finn now should still play just
I think that's the smartest option he's pay. We're going
to get out lapped easily. Because his defensive decisions have
not been as a great recently and was.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Up against Yeah, and that the center is fast to mate,
or we'll like, well, like will I swap wingers? I
put sloan on Sub good? Who knows?

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Yeah, you mean Cola, don't you run?

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah? If his if his name is not Coke. I
don't know what mainly are doing wrong, And it's gonna
be It's gotta be, doesn't it hastily? Hastily?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah? Their back lines quite fast?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yeah, mate, So we have to be careful, definitely, and
right we you know we we do we can run.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yeah, the overlap happening to us coming in off the wing,
so it is a concern.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
And obviously subs bloody fast, so I don't even thinks
would catch him, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
So we're in trouble. If you get through, would be
quicker than Sub, wouldn't he. Yeah, I would be.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Quicker than.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
The But he'd be in the top three or top
five players fastest. You'd have to be up there somewhere.
Wouldn't he be over maybe top ten?

Speaker 3 (36:39):
I don't know. I think hammers the fastest. Yeah, yeah,
so you mentioned that's the only thing now do you
think that Flannel is playing a porky and then could
do a late inclusion or we're hoping that way anyway.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Everyone's hoping.

Speaker 10 (37:03):
Yeah, he.

Speaker 8 (37:06):
Yeah, he does the thirty minutes before you got the
hate strokes in the charity shild game and scoring four tries,
although that was fairly easy from the telephone.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
It's Lean.

Speaker 11 (37:23):
He's he's messaged me three times saying a coffee with Moses,
and I wondering who the else he's talking about Moses
and he said, Isaac Moses.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
He's he's manager as well. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Just got a message from Adam too. He said thanks
for having me on and and then good luck on
Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah, thanks Ads, you got there all right, So Rory
Rory Reckons has to play. Okay, that's gonna be wrong.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
All right, So we'll get into But there was a
media conference with one of our one of the fan
favorites today, Jack debellon or where the team's at and
what we have to do to get the chocolates on
Thursday night no pun intended being the kick off to
the Eastern Long weekend. Here's Jack Debellon.

Speaker 9 (38:25):
Yeah, that's it's awesome. Ms through and ye and I'm.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Excited for him. You haven't to ask you advice and
has been.

Speaker 12 (38:49):
That not really like it's more like an informal thing,
you know what I mean, Like they're just one of
the boys and one of the boys as well, So
that's kind of like some of those things are I
seen my obvious that older statesments, I need to give
them all his infro and whatnot. It was just like
they're a part of the team. And as I was saying,
they're really good kids and they're learning very well, grown

(39:11):
into the.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Team and really quickly. And then they do you think
the depression of the situation just just stop up? How
do Yeah?

Speaker 12 (39:23):
And I'm very impressive Eagle doing Egan. He's he's a
hard worker. He's a great kid, and you know, it's
just just reward for how hard he's he's worked and
trained the last couple of years. And same as with
Hamish and the Couchman's like they're just all really good
kids and they just work hard. I think it's shows
them in their performances and as the team as a whole,
where the hard working team and yeah, they fit really

(39:45):
really well.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
And to be honest, so far is he obviously with
a new one, and.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I think the four Backs been doing a really good job,
to be honest.

Speaker 12 (40:03):
It's a good mix of some older players and younger players,
and yeah, like a good mix of fast moving and
some bigger bodies. So I think we're doing a good
job at the moment. There's always room for improvement, and yeah,
I think we're doing We're tracking along.

Speaker 8 (40:15):
Okay, performance crisis until the end, they had show the
game quite well.

Speaker 12 (40:23):
Well, Yeah, No, he did a really good job for
us something just like everyone in the town. I thought
everyone now their their job and did their role perfectly,
and like he was no different to everyone else society.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Just did his job and that's what we pretty much
need from him and from everyone.

Speaker 12 (40:44):
Yeah, I think we've been We've been doing that pretty well,
and everyone has me doing their job. It's just probably
asking those big moments or we've had those leads, we
just haven't really protected them well enough. You know, everything's
a lesson and I suppose and we just got to
learned from them. It was a good mix throughout the
whole park. I think we scored a few trials everywhere

(41:05):
and we've got strip all over the park, and I
think the attack hasn't been our problem this year.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
We've been able to score points. It's been our defense.

Speaker 12 (41:13):
And I feel like our defense is definitely improving, and
I feel like go On defense has been much better
as well. Yeah, probably is a bit of an issue
in the sense of being given so much cheap bore
and we're turning it over a lot more we probably
should be. But on the positive flip side to that,
we have been defending really well and we've showed that
we can defend our trial and and turn sides away.

(41:36):
So it's like a to flip the coin there. It's
a good end bad but at the same time, like, yeah,
we are doing better.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Much strike. Yeah, No, they're a really good strike attacking
team and.

Speaker 12 (41:58):
Pretty much anyway, it don't matter where they are on
the field of short side, I'll throw the ball anyway.
So we're just going to be switched on there. And
so yeah, it's a big day for our defense again.
And like if we get out of defense and we'll
be out.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
A small points. So yeah, and the US down again.

Speaker 12 (42:15):
Yeah, the joints of rugby league can one week he'll
be on top of the world. The next week you
can be here. It's yeah, it's a game of inches,
I suppose, and we could have easily probably should have
won the Power games. So and then the week before
out of the Storm game, that was a clinical performance.
And you've been watching how well we're showing we can

(42:37):
compete for anyone.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
So it's pretty much just on us should be four,
all right, So what they said we should have been
batter matter. We should have beat the Titans by fifty
the other weekend we didn't go all of it.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Shut up shop again, Yeah, I mean, rob we do
that against the team like mainly if if we put
the Q in a rack twenty minutes ago, mainly are
a team that can pile on the points quickly if
we're not up for this game, isn't that well like
if we get we've seen twice this year, well three

(43:19):
times we've got to good, good convincing leads, and for
two of those games we haven't gone on with the job.
And no we've played the titles, but no disrespect to them,
they're not one of the more stronger sides in the competent.
Mainly are a top eight side, potentially a top four
side on their day if they Yeah, if we go

(43:43):
to to sleep early and try to defend our way
to victory. It could be another lead that we just
give up, and we're not a sort of a side
that can defend a lead with the way we play.
We're a team that we have if we get to
a big lead, we've just got to go on with
that rather fan, how much of a loss do you

(44:10):
think he's seen this game? He's been one of our
former players at the start of the year, if not
our best.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Big last mate.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
He's not just his try scoring ability, what he does
running the ball back, especially from our line, the carries
his positive attitude, his passion. Yeah, he's excited about everything.
He's behind every player on the field. And yeah, I

(44:37):
mean obviously one of our best players. And you know,
a guy who keeps our back on very strong as
well too, So yeah, a massive last mate. So you know, honestly, really,
I'm really worried about what's going to happen on the wing.
That's what we've been talking about. So I'd love to

(44:59):
see who actually starts on Thursday night. But yeah, massive
lost without a doubt. So yeah, how's you me out
for Jess?

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Is he it's a week to week proposition?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
This week. Yeah, but hamstrings are very tricky. You don't
want to rush him back too soon because he could
be even longer.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
So does he can really tear it and make it worse.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Yeah, So he's hoping one one week. Hopefully he's back
for An's that day. If not, maybe two to four weeks.
But if he's not right, I would keeping me on
the sideline as long as possible until he gets it right.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
Has he had hamstring problems in the past.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Yes, he's had He's had a recurring before. We had
a last year too.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
He can't come back earlier. The lost you are the
big risk.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Kyle Flanagan got got three points in that in the
Daily m yesterday. Billy is Kyle flanding as much as
under pressure as local ilias? I thought? He had one
of his better games last Friday. But he can get better.

Speaker 8 (46:12):
Oh, he definitely can. But he competes on everything, like
his effort everywhere. He's not a flashy he's never going
to be a flashy player. But he delivered some beautiful
passes on the weekend too. So if he can add
that sort of stuff to his game frequently, there's going
to be no pressure on him whatsoever, especially for winning
Michael given the weekend, how you been good.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
And looking through the how to look through the overalls
game that we played at Brookie. Actually, our record is
not great there. In thirteen games we have played on
the on the Northern Beaches mainly of one eight we've
just won the five.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
So it's a pretty juicy it's pretty close but close results.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Yeah, yep. The most recent win there was back twenty
seventeen time ago.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Actually twenty seven nine. Long Land scored out of this
Cherry Evans the ball.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Yeahrazy, all right, which will lead us into our next
segment where viewers get involved, all right, So yes, Billy

(48:13):
and Big T did mention. Our last win was in
twenty seventeen at Brookie against Manly, so I haven't played
there too often though recently. We did play there last year.
I remember for a recall we Manly were down to
seventeen fifteen players, fourteen or fifteen players on the bench.
We still couldn't go on with the job. So we

(48:35):
do have one player that was in that team in
the in that it did play in that game actually
back in twenty seventeen, one player that will take his
place in the lineup on Thursday night. But there was
one player in that game who's no longer at the
club who scored a double in that thirty five to
ten win. Can you name who scored the double in

(48:57):
that in that big win over Manly far away? In
the comments, he's playing another Sydney club right there.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
I definitely I'm not going to say his name. Atkinson,
Oh anticipate, I'm just loving leer film. You're an Eton
score double? Yes or no?

Speaker 3 (49:27):
He did, but Scoop's not allowed to participate.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
He's not even a member. He's fine, fine.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Jason Sarab actually he he wasn't playing an Arrow yet.
He was still young boy then back in twenty seventeen.
Didn't debut till twenty nineteen with the Dragons. But yet
twenty seventeen, as Big ten and Billy said, we won
thirty five points to ten with Gareff Wood. Also I
got a double as well. In fact, Jack de Bellin

(50:04):
was a triscorer as well as Kurt Man and Gareth
would have kicked four goals and kicked a penalty goal halftime.
We led sixteen to six, So he was decided. If
you want to know who played on that day nighting
girl at fullback, we had Naname of Donald and Kurt
Man on the wings, you and and Tim Laffy. In
the centers we had Gareff Woodap and Josh mccroane in

(50:26):
the halves. Up front we had Russell Packer, Paul Varn
Karen mckinness at dummy half back rolls we had Tyson
Brazsell and Joel Thompson. And locking the scrub as he
will do on Thursday night is Jack Debellen. On the
bench was Tarreck Simms and Lison Armour, Harme, Sele and Milne.

(50:48):
And the coach is Mary McGregor.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Sure they're still playing mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
And a few manly boys actually manly um Well he
I'll go through the manly side who played on that
days to refresher memory. Tommy Turbot was the fallback. George
Chaphil and Matthew Wright were the wingers. Dylan Walker and
Brian Kelly. In the centers Blake Green and Daily Treevans
and the harves Breton Lawrence and Martin Tupper. All at

(51:17):
the front row Happy were Frank Winderstein and Curtis Synon.
And locking the scrump as he will on Thursday night
as well, Jake Tivoivich on the bench, Lewis Brown, Nate Miles,
Darcy Lussick and Adam Vanola. Blake and the coach was

(51:38):
Trent Barrett. Yes, okay, so we'll continue on and now
we'll discuss many people have been saying about how impressed
they were with Blake Laurie's performance. Billy, what did you

(51:59):
make of his performance? And it's a veriable world. There's
a Britain that he's kept the spot this week.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Yeah, no, good love.

Speaker 8 (52:10):
I love the effort that he had one hundred meters
from nine runs like that's some twenty twenty three stats
out of the box from him. So it's good to
see him back in some decent form again. You know,
last year unfortunate, very unfortunate year for him, but good
to see him back and hopefully he can keep it
up because when he's gone at his best, we're a

(52:32):
better footage side.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
And then we'll get into now last I'm pretty sure
it's the first time he's been named in the twenty
two rob He's been linked to move to the Newcastle
and the Bulldogs. I'm not sure if it was discussed
on Sunday night. But would you like to see him
get a debut soon before he is at risk of

(52:58):
leaving the club?

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Absolutely? Mate, I'll watched him reserve great with I just
think they're ready, you know what I mean. I know
the young, but.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
Obviously there's some young players that can can do it,
and I think they're ready, mate.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
So you know, to add to the egans of the world,
the councils of the world, and why not obviously we've
got some aging players there and JDB and so yeah,
I can't see why not give him a run, Bloody
at different stages. I'm sure for they can pick the
right games, but we don't want to lose. Potentially, you

(53:38):
really top.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Play if he's look at somewhere else, why would you,
Bloody just to say part of our team come out
of a running say with us.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
But my agreement is a true I mean, he's it
true that he's really looking or.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Is it just the two places?

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Yeah, that's like the Tigers have dropped like a Galvin
this week. I dropped.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
I've called for it.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Yeah, the leadership said, we don't blame him anymore. He
wants it. I agree, Yes, he went out.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I mean I bustled about ben Hunt for how long?
So if if the player wants out, doesn't play with
the Red.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Yeah exactly, but he should be looking he should be
looking at like j has maybe got one more year
left in him. One more year and you'll play for
your junior club. You don't like that, ef that that's right?
If we do offer him one more year, might be
he might be the next the next one of the

(54:47):
guys in that position. H.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
So we've we've discussed out to him a bit, but
big team. We've seen that if things aren't go going
our way, we can open up quite easily. Oh yeah,
we've got to do to shut down mainly, who's the
main player we've got to shut down? Is it DC?
Who do you think we've got.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
To show up? We're going to shut down d C
and Brooks. They've both been playing well, played well in
the first four weeks there and then they lost Tommy
and they've lost to two big games against me on
two top four teams. Melbourne Yeah, Melbourne, sorry, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Just thime, we've got to concentrate. We've got

(55:33):
to keep our mind on the game. If if there
is decisions that go against us, we've got to keep
our cheat up and carry on. Hopefully we don't lose
our captain's challenge to early time. I think he's lasted.
Twenty minutes has been his most he's lasted. I think.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
I just think we've got to stop d. You got
to stop stop Brooks again. Look, look, look at that.
If you get Sara early ball, you'll burn you every time.
Be top of the apparently is doubtful. Apparently, but I'll

(56:12):
expect them both to play. So we've got to stop
DC for a start.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Yeah. Yeah, And where do you think we can get
some joy over over manly? I mean, like the Sharks
scored five tries on them. I've noticed they've scored some
out wide. But I've noticed in that in that game
against the Sharks, if we threw three wild passes, the

(56:39):
Sharks did a few, and that Luke Brooks run run
ninety minutes to score. So we've got to be careful
of these passes because we do have those in our game.
And if we throw those no look passes and it
comes in the wrong hands, they're gone. We won't start
the boy.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
But he's asleep, he's got school tomorrow. Yeah. No, I've
been exhausted.

Speaker 8 (57:18):
We can't we can't throw these passes, you know. I
know we like to shift the ball, but I think
personally personally, from what I saw against Carna, Carna rolled
down the field.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
They literally just walked down the field.

Speaker 8 (57:36):
The middles were all over man If we if our
forward pack in the middle of the field can get
over the top of many, especially because Manley's middle forwards
aren't as I don't have as much leg speed as
Toby Couchman and Dylan Agan and Leila and likes that,

(57:58):
if we can get.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Over them, I think we can get them pretty easily. Yeah,
they looked to win. They looked very.

Speaker 8 (58:05):
Soft in the middle of the vield and they looked slow.
They look like they're going side to side. So we
can just you know, go straight down the middle.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
I think we have a good day. Yeah, And.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Man the school and actually flooded mainly in the end
rob against Coronella. Coronella scored five tries to four, five
ties to free, but Nico Hines had an off day
off the boot. So realistically you look at it, Coronulla
win thirty to eighteen. So do you take some joy
out of that or would you say No, it's a
different way where we're not the same side as Coronella.

(58:44):
You couldn't compare us to Coronella probably.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Yeah, I mean it's yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
Coronella are a different pack to us as well too.
They're big with their mobile as well too. I guess
we're a different style. Probably crucially for us is the
impact of g He's liked another fire eight really with
his Trisis into the back line as well.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
I think that gets a little bit misforgotten.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
We're not about.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Carl Flannag and he's good with defense and all that,
but I'm seeing a lot of play coming through Gutha
and that back line, and you know what, I mean
to make that crucial pass.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
At the end to.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
Get us trying to know is up there with a
trisis this year.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Must be up.

Speaker 4 (59:33):
So if he's doing the same sort of thing and
we're going through the middle like what Billy says, obviously
where the chance fels kicking as well too, the putting.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Some goals over because I think there's going.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
To be a fair few tries and I'm tipping your place,
came I think, and I know we'll probably get to
tips later on Jess, But yeah, I think it's going
to be like that, but we're going to have to
play really well, mate, I mean mainly are strong across
the park. I mean that all of cold is a
scary but bloody bugger mate. He can offload the ball,

(01:00:09):
you know, through the line, so so yeah, you're gonna
do that twice and you can score, you can create
a couple of trays, you know what I mean against us.
So he's as well, he's a worry out wide, like
you're saying with the our wingers that we've got defensively,
if he's out wide and they come in on him,
I'm just going to get smashed to the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
So it's a concern thee as well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Post thirty and trices only Cameron Munster and Brandon made
more you got He's got five, so he's okay. He's
hide with Jamal Fog.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Yeah, like I said, he's playing on another five eight
for us.

Speaker 10 (01:00:53):
He really is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Yeah. Luke look, Luke Brooks, who is in that manly
light up also got five trices, so he's one we'd
have to watch as well, as Big T alluded to earlier. Yeah,
he's more of that. DC will run the show, but
Lukebrook can can just play on the back of that man,
just play out live football. Yeah, so we seem to

(01:01:17):
lack that killer instinct though we did mention that against
the Titans that we could have won by fifty. Why
do we shut off in when we've got a big lead? Billague,
why do you think that is?

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
That's a good question. I have no idea. I don't know.
I shut off. It's not a fitness thing. I think
it's just dumb football.

Speaker 8 (01:01:42):
Like, especially when we've got a lead, we just tend
to I think we've got on the wraps, I guess,
and just let the game go, That's what I would say.
But yeah, I have no answer to that. I don't
even think the coach knows why they shut off.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Well, you want to do you want to take a
big team? Why do you think we shut up shop
when we have good leads? I mean the Titans, as
I said, no disrespect to them, but they should But
against mainly we do that we get we get our
pants pulled down down't we.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Yeah, we just go one and two out like one
out off the rock, one out of the right kick.
We kick him into the corners. I'm guaranteed, Like every time,
so we're getting them in the right spots to defend,
defend against them down there. But yeah, I think I

(01:02:37):
think we just we just close up shop. We don't
we think we've got the win. It's it's actually a mindset.
They've got to get out of that mindset saying well,
we're twelve points up, we can win this game. And
I think they're getting there now. We've got to twenty
twenty up, twenty up in the in the Titans game

(01:03:01):
at halftime, so we can we can do it, we
can score. Yeah, that's what I say.

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Yeah, I reckon It's it was those other games that
was just trying to protect. It was negativity coming in.

Speaker 11 (01:03:18):
Like we're playing South, have got all these players out
or whatever, We're twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
Up, you know, we we got we just slot a
film goal maybe some stage and they got stuffed up
as well. So it happened twice obviously as well. Yeah, yeah,
so it's got to stop. It's just simply got to stop.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
So you either run away with it or you you know,
you close out the game properly, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
You just give the opposite. Against the Titans, they went
down to twelve players and we did nothing with that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Yeah, we should have got fifty easily, easy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Easy easy, And the mentality I said, like I said
on Sunday, if we play a top four, top six team,
we'll get beat that game.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Yeah, but we got to win.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
That's the positive thing about it. We're going to win.
And we played ugly.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
So yeah, Like I've heard a few people that I
was talking a few people at the game in Friday,
and even though we were up twenty four to four,
they were nervous because of the way we gave up
the last two games.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Yeah, yeah, I think I was nervous. I think twenty
four points twenty points up.

Speaker 5 (01:04:22):
I thought we had it, especially because the times.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
But it's crucial things in the games, Like I'm sure
that I'm through at least kicked out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Oh there was. There was crucial cause in the Titans
game when one of their players played the ball and
he got done for not being balanced. Yeah, thought that.
I thought that was a fine played the ball. I
thought it was playing the ball. Play see you later.
Just sights were Titans were n't lucky.

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
There. You get to down with the coach that has
got to say to Elius, like when we're closing out
the game. Don't don't go for the line so hard.
Keep it to the corners, but keeping more in the
middle of the field. Corners not not too flightly, you
know what I mean? Were yeah, might run. He made
that one mistake.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
He was trying to go for forty twenty. But you
didn't need to go for a forty twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
Yeah, and we've got our homes and kick a field goal, right,
so he's done it before, Like what Lamax didy is this?

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
So if we're in a position in this game we
need a field goal, then.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Then do it position that I think.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
I think we look silly in the last play on Friday.
I know, big classes back.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Yeah, I've heard that none of our harves have kicked
a career field goal in there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
I listen a podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
I don't they have either were not in, not in NRL,
or or even.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Use the cup.

Speaker 5 (01:05:40):
I don't think so well, homes Is kicks ashear, I.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Think nothing too.

Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
Yeah, so we're still we've got some stocks for field goals.
I think it was might be able to kick a
field goal. I just don't think it's confident enough, which
he needs to get.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Yeah, Well, Ian Johnson highlighted that to a t that
first game on the Easter weekend in Woollongong. Remember that
was an air riddled game. We melted Tommy Turbo. He
do anything right?

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
Mistakes he did? Yeah, yeah, they mistakes And there was
a long Turbo days that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
And then and then we went to brook Felle last year.
They had they were down to fourteen men on the
bench and we still couldn't beat them. They had no
players left on the bench. So that's in the past.
We can't worry about that. Questions Thursday night. So Rory

(01:06:51):
McDonald does have suggestion about locking this his king game.
So should he make his penalty king games. He does
have a huge boot on him into rawing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Yeah you don't. Yeah, he does have a kick on him.
That's the thing. Yes, it's it's a confidence thing because
he does most of our kicking. I think he's actually
just worried about his leage.

Speaker 8 (01:07:15):
I don't know, he had a long he had a
really long layoff, so he didn't come back to Hill January.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Now right highlighted during the press conference in the Titans game.
I think he said it in the week before too,
in that power game. We make too many mistakes and
we do a lot of defending.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
And as Donnie said before, we I don't think we've
completed above seventy five percent at all during the season.
Is ball security a huge problem that we need to address?
And do we need to stop making these fundamental errors?

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Absolutely? I mean, did we complete better? I think Billy
was saying before Billy we were saying, is it maybe?
Well yeah, I think it was again to see how Yeah, So,
I mean that's crucial and then the and then they're
dropping the ball in the bloody all.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
You know, I went from our line.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
So it's putting pressure on a goal on defense, which
has been good obviously in games in certain games. So
if they'll improve, will improve obviously our results will be
better as well.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
So I was going to say, maybe we have to
go to that sticky spray company and say it's not
fucking working. We want better stuff in the jerseys. It's
not working.

Speaker 11 (01:08:40):
But if it gets too sicky, you'll never get the
ball off. It will stick to his jersey to be
running in the crowd with it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
I'll tell you what what. We went to the forty
one and Mary Mighty, we caught the ball in the
in the crowd and his shirt, his jersey was all
covered with glue off the ball.

Speaker 13 (01:08:57):
The ball was that sticky. It was unbelievable. My son's
a goalkeeper right played high level reps. He's got it's
called the sticky type glue. It's glove glue he's putting
on his song life. You can pick up the ball
like that, you can turn it and all that and
come off.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
You literally throw it. They'll stay on there. So pretty
powerful stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
You know, I'll say. I'm saying goalkeepers get caught there
where it gets stuck in the hand and goes backwards.
You don't with that sticky glue. Well you don't want
to put it somewhere else and sticky.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Oh we'll break up it up a little bit. We'll
hear from Tobe Catchman, who's who's having a breakout yere
so far. I think this year his first time he's
starting a season in the starting front row. And let's
see what he says heading into Thursday nights game.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Creepy Yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 10 (01:10:02):
It's a massive, massive win for us, kind of felt
like a must win after the way we left.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
The game goes power, which.

Speaker 10 (01:10:08):
Will obviously disappointed in So, yeah, the win at home
was really positive.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
When you put break the game.

Speaker 6 (01:10:17):
The most positive thing to take out of the defense
of the ability to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Put on Oh, I think we know we've got the
ability to put on points.

Speaker 10 (01:10:27):
It's just we stuck to our plan for the whole game,
which is probably the first time we've done that. Our
defense was good and yeah, again we probably had to
defend a bit too much, but a little bit of
pressure again, but pleasing we know where when we held
the ball we can score points and cycle with teams.
So yeah, we just need to keep doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Play one of the parts sign.

Speaker 10 (01:10:54):
Yeah, obviously it has been good this year. Yeah, we've
got some points all around the park. Which yeah, yeah,
it was positive in our attacks when we get down
in the opposition, man's looking pretty good.

Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
And playing hi.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
When he got in sad after the game, what was
he most impressed me?

Speaker 6 (01:11:10):
It was Randy, one of you guys work.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Yeah, the lad and held it both the Rabbits game
and that he was game.

Speaker 10 (01:11:21):
We let a slip and yeah, that's what he was
most pleased with the fact we were able to close
the game out and get a good win.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
How impressed he tackles. He's just playing a Yeah he
was massive. Yeah it's a hard worker, so it's no surprise.
But yeah he was. He was massive. That's pretty nice.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
As a load had always did away that you grew
up because the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Boys great side. Yeah definitely just as well. You're a
young hound given questions of black scene a look and.

Speaker 10 (01:11:59):
Yeah it's cool. Yeah I should do and obviously get
their cracks this year. I played a ship all with them,
so yeah, it's cool to see them go.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Well, yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:12:09):
That explain.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
I'm not so much.

Speaker 10 (01:12:13):
I feel like all the boys here just because I
played a bit of foot then growing up. Everyone here
is I'm motivated to play with so yeah it is cool,
but I wouldn't. It's extra motivation. Like obviously they were
playing really well and that's okay, really good thing for us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
We're gonna do well this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
I see.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
So much find out forward.

Speaker 10 (01:12:36):
Yeah, obviously a very good attacking team, and we're not
afraid to shift the ball. To shift the ball, so
we know what's coming and we need to execute our
game planning both with and without the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
And yeah, defend well. Happy we've been to get back that.

Speaker 10 (01:12:53):
Yeah, I'm upset that's exactly why we need to streams
and wins together and we have I mean, how to
do that this year We've had a couple of wins,
but some disappointing losses as well, so I bit of
consistency would be good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
And then that starts his Thursday night, most manly. He's
out steading, Yes, well spoken as well, the future captain,
future captain Materiam Ryan. Yeah he was, he was. Actually
it was actually supposed to get a start before Toby. Yeah,

(01:13:26):
he got his legs back two years ago and Taybe
got to start in front of him.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
So well, that's the same story in cricket. Remember Steve
Will and Mark Wall and Steve his brother Mark Waul.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
So amazing that shit can happen.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Yeah, you want to go well, but when it's brothers,
you know, like that's incredible.

Speaker 10 (01:13:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Actually he's a moment from history. So back in two
thousand to prove when we played mainly in Woollongong yesterday,
twenty two years ago, the Dragons were fined five thousand
dollars by the NROL for with Nathan Brown slapping captain Trail.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Billy wasn't even born then, No, I say it I
definitely say that, Wow, Billy is zero. It wasn't even
going oh yeah, Bill, all.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
Right, so we'll move on. Okay, Now we'll get into
some some news and rumors we've seen in the in
the last twenty four to forty eight hours. First one
that we've seen most recently locking Galvin. He's been leaked
to a few clubs after announcing that he won't be
at the Tigers beyond twenty twenty six. Jerome Lewi, the

(01:14:48):
k captains of the club and the leadership group at
the Tigers today have went to coach Benji Marshall to
a request that he no longer be in the team.
It's no good for the morale and doesn't want to
be there. They're just not happy with the attitude he
is getting from them he's showing for the team. When

(01:15:09):
this news dropped, Billieve, what did you make of it?
Does it come at a shock or did you did
you see him staying at the Times on night?

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:15:19):
Well earlier, like I don't know when the room started,
but like he was pretty keen to stay at the
Tigers for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
But I don't know what.

Speaker 8 (01:15:29):
Something must have changed, but the move from the players
to stand up and be like, you know, if you
don't want to play for us, sit on the bench
or cinema. That's a great that's a great thing. There's
no not real, not much players who would do that.
Who will drop a pretty decent young player who's key

(01:15:49):
in the team, he's not coming off the bench, say
oh yeah, let's drop him.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
We have faith in our.

Speaker 8 (01:15:56):
Team and he's not staying up for the cold my standards,
it's great like that. That's a new that's a great
thing for Tigers because previous yes, they would just let
him play the whole season.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
They've taken a great approach to that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Anything to add on that rubble or big t do
you have anything to say on on that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
Big Tea's frozen, Big Tea's got.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
Will you say something wrong? What's your taking?

Speaker 5 (01:16:28):
I've seen a lot of players a right, so I'm
fifty five.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
I've seen Andrew heading Houses, Lori, Daly's bred, Fittler's all
these great players. There's so many more. Jeff two come
through a similar age, and no fancy to love on Galvin.
I know he's gonna become a top player, but I
don't think he's in the class of those players. Yeah,
at the same age, so to say, and to be

(01:16:54):
as disloyal as he has to the West Tigers, and
to say Benji Marshall's coachings not really doing anything for him,
and then he can he can go to another club
and go to get better cach and progress his career
even better than what you know in the future. I
think it's pretty hurtful stuff. And I think if you've
got senior players like Jerome and have you coming out

(01:17:17):
in absolutely dead set Donub wanting to play anymore for
the for the team, then that's telling me that he
doesn't want to be there. Lockey Gavin then in the
West Tiers team and as we found out, Chuck Mundine found.

Speaker 5 (01:17:33):
Out, Gordon tells you no one played. It's bigger than
their club. And I think locky GA and again he's
not in the class that.

Speaker 4 (01:17:41):
The fit is, the daily is, the ending hows Ands
all those sort of guys at that age, You know
what I mean. You like the hard way, I think,
and I applaud the West Siders who doing what they're doing.
I would have liked to have seen Bennett sitting in
your South a couple of games. Well, to be honest,
with he shut him up, you know what I mean

(01:18:02):
when he wanted out three times they get.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Out of the dragons.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
Your opinion was on that job, I agree, but I
agree you know what I mean with the West. Yeah, yeah,
they've got to take it because otherwise it just it
doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
That is it. Is it happing their nose off to
spike their face?

Speaker 4 (01:18:24):
Well probably, you know at the end of the day,
because I mean he's a crucial part of the They
probably could make the top eight this season.

Speaker 14 (01:18:32):
So it's diff And there are other halves out at
the moment as well too. I don't know how long easy,
but he's going back to PARAMOUNTA.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
You know what else is a problem.

Speaker 8 (01:18:49):
He said months ago that Benji Marshall was it was
like great for the playmakers because he kills it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
So you now they're saying now they're saying ben for me,
ben you must reason for me. If he's if he's
our link with Moses and shave fan again, well let's
go that way as well.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
I don't think that Dylan Brown getting what he's getting there,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
And money is money.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
They always mo is a very money hungry player manager
as well as affected Lucky Galvin, I think, I mean,
but apparently the deal of.

Speaker 5 (01:19:30):
The West Side was on the tables five million is
it or something like that Jesse.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Five years I think it was. Yeah, so obviously decent.

Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
He's obviously thinking he's going to get one point four
one point five, I mean, always started to talk more
money than Nathan Cleary and thought Nathan clear he's really.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Yeah, I don't want I don't want to gam here.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
That's for sure a big teeth. I've heard some people
saying social like the Tigers have pretty much give them
the case to Campbelltown, as Rob said, get someone the
keys to will Galvin's got the case to Campbelltown and
like art and a chance to play alongside like a
player like Jerund Louis. But he doesn't want to be

(01:20:17):
part of it. Do you think he's only a young
he still doesn't know what's going on completely.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
That's right, exactly right, he's any young rogue. Chris say,
six six million over five years in our three sixty,
that's a lot of money for a nineteen year old.
Is nineteen? Anything hasn't achieved.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
He's still on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Your No, he's one year older than me, actually one
year wouldn't you like to be getting one point two
million dollars a year? He's doing something that you absolutely love.

Speaker 5 (01:20:50):
Hitler or Laurie Danley hasn't achieved anything yet.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
No, that's exactly right. I reckon you go to Penry.
I I think there's going to be a lot of
there's gonna be a lot of halves and five move
around the next year, like we get that Atkinson's coming
to us.

Speaker 6 (01:21:09):
Uh rubbish.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
Connectetson played half back there. He obviously plays play has
he has he played half bag he's a junior.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
Or he can't play played five?

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
Yeah, so I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:21:23):
So it's a it's a big I really don't Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Half and half and five change in the round. Now
it's not as not not as static as it used
to be. We're seeing a lot often now it's gone
from the sixth to the seven, or the seventh to
the six as it goes out through the centers. If
you want to watch a couple of other games, Yeah,
watched what game was it? I think I might have
been Tiger's game. The staff and tower was going from

(01:21:50):
one side of the third or the other, and that's
the game is changing. Well, may a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
See us the other week and we played sous or
we revel sorry Revelar was playing for sous Rebel.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
I was feeding the scrum. Doesn't half back, does it?
I agree with you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:10):
Jerome Lewi is a great example. I mean obviously five,
eight through and three, but he's half back to a
world West.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Tigers, so he can run a team. Marian So strange
as thing has happened, don't they.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
I'm saying this come through in the last twenty four
hours and this has come from from the nine the
wide Wall Sports site. So it says our current halves
with local Elios. He's off contract at the end of
twenty twenty six, like Galvin at the Tigers, while the
coach's son has a further year to go that's till
twenty twenty seven at Woollongong. While both are honest players

(01:22:43):
who have shown there but do have good performances in
them as recent as the game over the Titans last weekend,
it says that neither neither Flanning or Elias are the
halves attack the Dragons to a premiership? Would you both agree?
Would you all agree with that? Flanning and Elius started
to take us to premiership.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
Absolutely for me if it's all a top four in
the top fours honestly, statistically like your premiership, I don't
see at least in Flannagin, both of them, you know
what I mean, at the same time being those players
to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
System.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Yeah, well on one player says who could take Flanagan's
neck to the next level is Galvin and it would
be silly for the Dragons not to take a look
at him at least just take a look at him
getting him for twenty twenty seven. Flanagan's also managed by Moses,
the controversial Moses, which could assist the Saints in any

(01:23:41):
potential bid for the former Australian schoolboys standout. Yes, yes,
he's been linked to mainly with another another ex Tigers,
Hart's had trouble in the past. He's been linked to
the Roosters, could be the potential half part No after
Sam Walker. He also has also been linked to the Bulldogs.

(01:24:04):
Phil Gill has a high opinion of him as well.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Apparently apparently the Bulls were talking to talking to me
for a long time through Moses, So I don't know
if I can do.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
That, I eventuate, because they got Matt Burton in the Hearts.
I don't know if it's I don't see Matt Burton
as a seven and what does that mean for the
future of Tabe Sexton if if, if there's.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
Sex. I was I was just I was watching what
was it?

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
I was watching what are the the leg Yeah, three
sixty and they were saying May from two weeks ago
was three weeks looking at extending Toby, but that they
got put on the back burner, and so yeah, I
mean again, stranger things happened. But back to our sem,
I think the cross roads a gonna happen because Atkinson's

(01:25:00):
coming next year.

Speaker 5 (01:25:01):
I don't see how Atkinson won't be in the half.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
I think he's going to be.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
He's going to take a spot in the half exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25:11):
And then when planning and Junior came to the club,
his father did a press conference and said that he
was going to be a backup.

Speaker 5 (01:25:18):
You know, hooker and also fourteen. I think he's a
stop gap.

Speaker 4 (01:25:23):
Whatever you caught like for a five eight, we found
a five eight, So obviously Atkinson's a five eight.

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
So whether if Italy doesn't dramatically improve.

Speaker 7 (01:25:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Are we in the market for another half. There's a
big tea said they can. Most of these days some
six to play sevens. We can play six.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
So you know, strange things happen, don't they. He's a
good player, but scrips for pushing Gav. He likes Gava,
the young guy in the reggies. Now he's not going
too bad. He's a he's a good, good little player.
Like yeah, I think like Koby is a five. He's

(01:26:06):
not a half back I like, and King Kumby reminds
me of I Mon Atkinson.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
I think it was out for six weeks and Hinds
was out for longer and he came and run the team.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
He did.

Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
He won one of more games than they lost, and
he was meant to be very impressive.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
So running the team around the park, and I guess
that's probably what we meet someone are running around And
any scored field goals was a field goal they scored
against Melbourne.

Speaker 5 (01:26:38):
They beat Melbourne the last whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:26:40):
It was thirty seconds and Amy Park just no man,
we did it obviously, but that was when better Hunt
was there. So yeah, I mean Atkinson looks like to me,
he's going to be the guys going to run the
team around. So maybe a Lockie Gavin or a player
like that, and maybe a bit of X factor or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
Free to run is maybe what we need.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
Yep and yeah, big big tear. You're you're a queens Lander.
This one's more. This one's more women's related. Que planned
to named their team for Origin one. That's that's due
to starting a couple of weeks for in Women's Origin,

(01:27:22):
so that they won. They won the last three series Queensland.
So the last two of the last three series, I'll
run through the squad, so there's a few changes. I'll
bring it up and we'll have a look. So I'll
read it out anyway. Okay, So we have Taron Aiken,

(01:27:46):
Ali Brigganshaw, Destiny Brill, Ali Brigganshaw, Lauren Brown, Shasha Soka,
Jessica Elliston, Jada Ferguson from Brisbane, a debut todde potentially
Georgia Hanaway played in that Grand Final Sharks team, Sophie
Hollyman Keeley, Joseph Chelsea, Leonardoozy See Haley, Meddick Rory Owen
had to break out you with Parramatta last year. The

(01:28:08):
center Tavanna Popoli played in the Rooster's Grand Final team
Jasmine Peters, Julie Robinson, Rommy Title to make up the
Mackenzie Wheel runs out the Queensland team for Game.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
One, bricking Shaw and Broughton.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Broughton's a keyway so she's not.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
Bigging sure, I begine. She's going to play till she's sixty.
That woman, she's just so good up in the Bay
side and playing for Queensland. Destiny Brill is a great player.
I got quite great prayers all over the park and
I think we can do it again.

Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
So what's your take of that? Of that squad that
I'm Queensland to pick. No, Shannon Marto she's out this year.
She's pregnant so she went.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
Thomas not in the team.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
Nopelaer Vannia Asako now she's married. Now she's also.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Your Maine. No no another okay also out. Oh no,
I haven't seen the team so I can't. I can't
totally comment on it. But a few changes from last
year breaking shures. They're still you got my mom the

(01:29:31):
fullback what's her name? Opted to make her up and
she's a and now she's a Brisbane as well, so
they're gonna have the top side this year.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
Yeah, and a player that actually has been spoken about
that could potentially make her News Origin debut. Is this plan.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Flash ah No, drum beat, drum roll, you can get it.
I think that stuck with me.

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
I think we'd actually come out.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
And carry a lot through.

Speaker 8 (01:30:11):
I was just enjoying the process.

Speaker 15 (01:30:13):
And sometimes when you do, you can get a bit
caught up. You know, sometimes you do put a little
bit of pressure on yourself. But it's just about enjoying
the process. You never got a good group here, and
sometimes you know, you play footy because you love footy,
and sometimes I think, probably last year, you do forget
a little bit, like, you know, whatever happened last year,
it doesn't really matter when you come.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Into this season. It's all about what you're going to
do next.

Speaker 15 (01:30:29):
And I'm you know, my eyes are looking forward and
you know, I don't want to take the back of
the step, but do all want to keep my foot
down on the pedal and I keep getting through and
getting better. So it's just about improving myself every time
I get into the gym or every time I stay
about here or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
Just want to prove myself.

Speaker 3 (01:30:44):
I know you're a Queensland a big tea. But yeah,
how awesome would it be to see Casey Ray get
an origin debut?

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Can you will be great? It'll be great to see
you got a debut. The Flash should be in there
as well, should she should be out there high on
the high on the peck in order so be good
to see the case here runs. You had a great
breakout season with the Dragons last year, so glad we
glad we kept there. And yeah, I hope the girls

(01:31:14):
do better this year. Very iny, Casey Ray, Lilliam Lilliam,
fallon your dream and Scoop, how's that your dreaming son?

Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
All right, so we'll get into our round round seven tips.
We'll kick it off with the Good Friday blockbuster And
as Scoop highlighted in the earlier in the comments, there
is seventy thousand people expected to fill a course stadium
on sat on Good Friday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Bulldogs.

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
Great job to them, Well not when I say this,
but the Bulldogs. They're offering ten dollars tickets to anyone
that wants to sit in the top tier at a
course stadium to come in and watch that game they're taking.
I'm the cost of living in an account. So great
initiative by the Bulldogs. Hey, ten dollar.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
Tickets absolutely, mate, do you think you need as crowd?
My tip is the Dogs. I just can't see South
being him. I think the week too strong and mate,
it's going to be a massive Bulldog contingent. There obviously
followed them, so yep, I think the dogies. I hate

(01:32:27):
to say it, but think the dog.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
Yeah will be at the same time. A yeah. The
last time the Bulldogs went six and zero to start
a year was back in nineteen thirty eight. Billy when
that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Oh, my grandpa was like five years old. I wasn't
even thought of Bill nineteen thirty eight, it could happen.
I don't think it was a great research me the crowd,
give me the crow, give me there you go. I'm

(01:33:06):
feeling my parents have Border nine thirty five, my parents,
my parents, why seeks and give me the treal to
score a hatchery.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
They go through some team changes, so Matt Burton and
Satil entrepreneur return, Willi Amichacco has been named on extended bench,
so they're three begins. If they all come through and
play Souths do welcome back. Kurlie Walker and Englishman Lewis
Dodge will finally get his Animal debut. Off the bench.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Where you go.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
And there's our crow. We'll get into our next game.
So the next game will be Friday night up in Brisbane,
Big Tea. It's the Dolphins up against the Melbourne Storm.
Melbourne absolutely love playing at sun Corps Stadium. It's pretty
much like their second home apart from Amy Park. There
is a couple of changes for the Melbourne Storm, known

(01:34:10):
so Saul Falonga will come in for his first game
of the year. He'll come onto the wing mostly drops
out of the side the rugby seven's convert. The rest
of the team is unchanged, although Jerome Hughes did pick
up a shoulder injury in their win over the Warriors
last Sunday, so he's under a bit of an injury cloud.
Tyrone Wish is on stand by to play halfback if

(01:34:32):
he's ruled out. The Dolphins do welcome back for Frank
Mole actually has been named on the extended bench. Former
Dragon and Raystone is available back from suspension. He comes
into the squad. He could come into the seventeen on
game day. The rest of the Dolphins team is unchanged.

(01:34:53):
Do the storm keep going big.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
Time for sure, Paper Housing. You've got Harry Grant, he's
been playing fine. You've got the background like we talked
about last time, glory guitar. But I could even get
into the Tigers and Warriors side in Melbourne killing it.
Wikhamani he's he's just a big body. It's going to

(01:35:19):
try last week. So yeah, I can't. I can't go fast.
Melbourne's just too strong.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Melbourne for you to rob.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Yep, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
Next game will be on Saturday five thirty in New Zealand.
It'll be the Warriors taking on the Broncos. Are the
Warriors have lost chance of a book Startopicki will move
to the back. Edward Cossi comes onto one wing. Kurt
Caple makes the shift from the back row to the centers.
Jackson Ford comes into the front row with Jameson. J

(01:35:54):
Harris out for six weeks with a peck injury. Like
Hala Sema, he's been in pressive off the bench. Young
back rower. He comes into the run on side Jacob
Laban and tomorrow Martin will come into the onto the
bench after the Broncos. Jaden Hunt comes into the back
row with Jack Zyski suspended, Jordan Ricky also from suspension,

(01:36:19):
and Tyson Smoothie comes onto the bench of the Broncones.
Martin Tupper drops out of the seventeen. Billy Can the
Warriors bounce back? Who bounces back from our defeat last week?
The Warriors at home? Or do you like the Broncos
getting it done away?

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
I personally, I'm going to go with the Broncos.

Speaker 8 (01:36:39):
I just think Warriors have lost too much players from
Sunday like, and they're all big, big losses to the fullback,
the front row, and he's the leader of the team and.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Who else was it? Someone got shifted into the centers.
So Cap Okay has a good job with a yeah
he does. I think Broncos he's out of it again.
Not that much I've got.

Speaker 6 (01:37:12):
For me.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Yepes.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
The other game on Saturday night, the Roosters, they were
impressive in their win against the Broncos. They do back,
welcome back what's his name, Big T? What's what's the
rooster center's name?

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
Mark One? No one need to say.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
He comes in for the suspended Billy Smith and well
that that's the only change the Rusters have made. They're
up against the Panthers. Five straight losses for the Panthers.
They are in a huge hole. How do they get
out of this? Rob They've made no changes, Actually they
have made one. Luke Garner comes into centers with Isaac

(01:37:57):
Hugo dumped to the bench.

Speaker 5 (01:37:59):
The last came I saw them play.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
It was so clunky.

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
I've never seen the Packers like that for I don't
know how long.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
Ago, but.

Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
It's I just can't believe that they wouldn't come back
and win the games. I can't. I really don't know.
You know what to pick?

Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
You to pick the leam fell and I saw Woods
in the guarana. Mate, he's after you. He's going to
get blocked up. I'm going to use you a punching bag.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
I'm not joking. I saw Woods.

Speaker 7 (01:38:25):
You lose.

Speaker 4 (01:38:27):
My time that you you're being bagging out bloggers, So
make leg a part you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
Name it time.

Speaker 6 (01:38:37):
Tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Yes, I can't, I can't pick. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:40):
I just say Panthers because I just can't believe the
Panthers are going to lose any losing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
That's right, Yes, Robert Billy wants some tickets. To that point,
do you have any.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
The referee? Mate, I don't think I'm going to need
to do much competitive competitive wins. Lose six in a row.
I think what I think though, Mary needs to come
back to England at the moment she's injured, because that's

(01:39:15):
what he needs. That's what he needs.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
They do welcome back Kenny. They do have also matter
positional switch to Casey McLean has actually shifted from wing
to center, and Thomas Jenkins has shifted from Senate to wing.
So I don't know what iron clear he is actually
the adminities. They're in a hole and they've got to
do a lot to get out of it. I just
can't get out of this.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
I think it's love lost. I think maythan thinking somewhere else.
I think that's his problem.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
He had his worst game in five years last week.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
How many times Harry times, not not in my god,
but how many times in the ball hit the ground
from passes from Penrith. We lost? Oh, nobody can catch
the all the boys going behind them. Big to you
and a few men since the end of the word,
just get married and come over and give. Yeah, I'll

(01:40:15):
give a part of the property.

Speaker 5 (01:40:16):
We'll take Nathan Cleary's high.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
There you go, Steven Fling will drop your son for
Nathan clear, I'll get married to come back and place
for the girls side too, so I can do all that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
The next game will be on Sunday afternoon up on
the Gold Coast. It's the Titans taking on the Raiders,
and the Titans do welcome back there, Captain Tino for
how big and guess what big t You'll love this
his little brothers off.

Speaker 6 (01:40:49):
I like.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
Has brock Grave been suspended for his high shot on
Jack de Belly?

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Yeah, there was that. That was a shocker.

Speaker 3 (01:40:58):
And for the Raiders, they've made a couple of changes,
so they put Corey Hawsbrough back into the front row,
Zach Hoskins is back into the team into the seventeen.
Morgan Smithy's will start at lock, Zach Hoskins on the bench,
Josh Propelet's dropped back to the bench, and Semi sosn
He drops out of the seventeen. The Raiders have been impressive,

(01:41:21):
haven't they, Billy. Do you think they continue it against
the Titans up on Easter Sunday on the Goldie Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:29):
I certainly do see that happening. I think Raiders win
thirty to sixteen.

Speaker 8 (01:41:36):
I think Raiders have been great, Like people underestimated him
again at the start of the season, and they just
compete all of their players effort players, even Foggedy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Like Foggedy's class.

Speaker 8 (01:41:47):
He's really smart and that's why I mainly wanted because
he's a smart halfback, and that's how they're going to
replace DC, who's also a smart halfback. So yep, Raiders
thirty to sixteen. This is their best chance this year.
They got a real good chance.

Speaker 3 (01:42:02):
Big two.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
Raiders, the Raiders, they pull pull my hair out with
the Raiders. I'm waiting for him to fall, and they
keep winning, they keep winning. Yeah, but I think I
can't see the Titans. But after last week, ex effit,
like that first set after half time for the Titans

(01:42:28):
really really set the time for the second half. So
won out in the in the first set after half time.
So Raiders.

Speaker 4 (01:42:38):
Raiders as well too. Man, I think he's got I
think Stickie's got it right now. He's starting to get
a big josh off the bench as well as a
good good move.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
How good Corey Horse.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
Yeah the way he's playing yeah for.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
Sure as well too.

Speaker 5 (01:42:54):
And he's not in any lip with the ref any
and he's he's serious this year, Cory.

Speaker 2 (01:42:59):
So I know that is.

Speaker 4 (01:43:01):
I think it will be way too too good. I
thought we were great our dreams, but I don't. I
think the Titans were pretty bloody hopless. So Gradies again special,
probably more than what we.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
Did, so.

Speaker 3 (01:43:16):
We Scoops. Scoops put his tip in again that he's
not going as extreme as his previous tips. That's that's
more more respectable, not like out of this world more pa.

Speaker 2 (01:43:32):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
The other game on Sunday will be at McDonald Jones
Stadium in Newcastle. The Knights their attacks been awful. They've
only scored forty six points in five games.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
I've scored four points in one hundred and sixty minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Yeah, they're just.

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
They're not.

Speaker 3 (01:43:52):
They have made some changes, so Tyson Gamble will plays
first game of the year. He's been named at halfback,
pushing Phoenis Crossland to hooker. Leah Thompson's twin brother Tyrone,
who made his innerial debut last week, he's been put
back to the bench. Tyson Brazzelle has been named to
start in the front row and Matt Craker will start

(01:44:15):
at lock. So Adam O'Brien's running the changes there and
Bradley will go back to the bench and Brady Jones
comes into the seventeen and James Shiller does return from
injury from that facial injury a couple of weeks ago.
Kyle McCarthy who made his debut against the Tigers. He's
the eight enth man and Matt Arfer also made his

(01:44:35):
debut against the made his Knights debut against the Sharks.
That's right against the Tigers last Sunday. For the Sharks,
Adam fan nol Blake has been named despite going off
with an injury, so it's going to be a touch
and go to whether they see he plays or not,
and the rest of the team is unchanged from then
went over Manly do the Sharks continue on? They haven't

(01:44:58):
been great to start the ye are but Billy do
you do you do you think the Sharks gone with
that Newcastle have been disappointing recently.

Speaker 8 (01:45:07):
Yeah, well that's the thing. I'm really on the edge
of this one. I don't know because Knights might turn up.
It's that Newcastle.

Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
Last week as well.

Speaker 8 (01:45:19):
Yeah, I know, and that's what shocks me. I hadn't
well tip Tigers but it was just an absolute sorry
and hope so well. Unfortunately wont to have to pick
the Sharks, and I think it'll be closer though. I
think twenty to fourteen Solant was the Sharks to win.

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
Another Sharks the Shacks. I wanted Shaks, Rob.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
Do you love the Sharks?

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Sharks for sure?

Speaker 6 (01:45:54):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
I think you're going to wait too strong.

Speaker 5 (01:45:58):
And I think the Sharks turning their form now.

Speaker 4 (01:46:01):
I think they're they're rowing off the top four and
that's where they you know, they probably should be hate
the Sharks of the passion.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
Of course that's been dragons.

Speaker 1 (01:46:09):
But yeah, a f B.

Speaker 4 (01:46:13):
God, if we had an a f B or a
paint Arson the out scene, oh yeah, how good would
it be for us?

Speaker 5 (01:46:19):
But yeah, I just think he's inspiration apparently of a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:46:24):
Coming.

Speaker 4 (01:46:25):
He's made a huge difference as a senior play to
the pack as well to Sharpe. They look at their backfire,
the way they run it out, you know what I mean,
the meetings they make so Newcastle, the big D's right,
they just look crap. They can't they can't score.

Speaker 11 (01:46:44):
Actually Newcastle, he picked up a ball from a kick
that Rigo set off West Tigers playing the school.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
It was lucky there to try. That's two games of football.
Two games the football scored the last five minutes, last minute.

Speaker 4 (01:47:01):
Probably one of the best best taking players in the NRL.
And pomer and he just looks hopeless at the moment
as well too. Yeah, you can't get through. They just
they just look pedestrian. They bought your own backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:47:16):
So yeah, our teams know you beat if you you
want to beat the Knights, you shut down Caleb Ponger.
That shuts down the Knights. Yeah, and then the final
game of the round will be the Eastern Monday traditional
clash Big teas the Tigers and the Eels. Tigers have
made some changes obviously we spoke about beginning. Brent Naden

(01:47:43):
comes in.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
He made it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:44):
He had a disticated kneecap in the trial, so he's
he's come back. He's been good in you Sold Cup,
averaging two hundred meters a game. So he comes into
the centers. Young Luke Law Lilly comes in on the wing.
Jerome Law has made them move to five eighth. Adam
Dewey has been named a halfback and let's have a

(01:48:07):
look and the rest of the ten or the Eels.
Jack Williams does return from injury. He comes into the
front row. Joel having Gowi is out of the team.
I think he's picked up an injury. Matt Dewry comes
in onto the bench as well for the Eels, and
Kelma Toolungi will play the first game of his year.
Ryan Madison drops out of the seventeen, a huge in

(01:48:31):
for the Eels. Captain Mitchell Moses returned. How big and
in is that big team.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
That's a huge in. They weren't expecting him for anever
another two weeks, but he's come back early. I hope
he hasn't come back to early because I really rate
with your Moses as a player a couple of years ago,
fighting up there, maybe last year fighting up there with
Cleary as the best half back in the game. I

(01:48:59):
think got a more complete game than Cleary. But yeah,
having Inbax a big thing. Losing losing Galvin is another
big thing. He gost the halfback. Is there anywhere that played?
He hasn't played Adam Dewey. Uh, he's playing away in
the park there he's at halfback. Yeah. I don't think

(01:49:19):
that the as could have another win here. Yeah, I
think they might have another win. There's Jack Galvin.

Speaker 3 (01:49:35):
We know who hemins, We know who you mean, Scoop Billy.
Do you think the titles hit the pain on for
the Eels?

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
Nope, I'm gonna get.

Speaker 8 (01:49:51):
Speaking Dyland Brown have a right, okay, So you know what,
I hope paring because I've had laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:50:07):
Unfortunately I can consistent definent steam.

Speaker 8 (01:50:12):
But you know, I reckon Moses back is going to
be a bit more directed in that shraft, and it
would be good to say he should be a good game.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
But the most important game of the round that will
kick off on the Easter weekend will be Thursday night,
our big game against the Manly Seagulls. Can we get
out back to back wins for the first time this year?
We'll start with you, Rob. Do you like our chances
to head to the normal beaches and come away with
the victory? There a fortress Brookly.

Speaker 2 (01:50:40):
Don't laugh at me, Bt.

Speaker 4 (01:50:41):
I had a dream and it was a legitimate dream, okay,
and I draft that there was twenty seconds in the
match left.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
You know, if has been on the sideline and is walking,
he walks, and he's a big.

Speaker 11 (01:50:55):
He's walking, He's putting his hand up under the he'sy
of one. When he falls over, the ball goes to
homes CD. He made his out film goal. Funny, this
is it, and we win the game, hitting the deck
face first, trying to say.

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
Game for one for one, you know what I mean?
And yep, we win by field. Is any golden point?
Golden I know that golden point.

Speaker 4 (01:51:21):
I think the dream was just a normal time thirty
seconds ago in a high scoring game as well too.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Liam's going thirty forty, fifty sixty carry us by one.

Speaker 3 (01:51:33):
Oh yeah, Liam, we don't want to go to golden point.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
We have a we we do so, I think we.

Speaker 4 (01:51:41):
We we still the normal time in a thriller or
high scoring thriller. The thriller and and funny is going
to hit the deck and not a heart to take.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
But ever hard to take.

Speaker 8 (01:51:49):
Yeah, Billy, Well, I'm going to scoop that it's going
to be pissing down on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:52:00):
It's going to be. In my opinion, it's going to
be an error fast. Unfortunately, we're really really the big
big lot of rain telling.

Speaker 3 (01:52:10):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
So interesting.

Speaker 8 (01:52:14):
Yeah, from what I've seen from all the weather and
everything I've looked, it should it's going to be raining,
so I think it's going to be twenty to fourteen
to the Dragons. Cook to score the game winning try,
he's got to he's got to be due for a try.

Speaker 2 (01:52:34):
He hasn't scored from dumby half other close to the
line yeap or or running out of running out of
dumby half.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
Yeah. Just looking at the forecast of well on Thursday,
it says partly cloudy, hot, chance of showers, most likely
in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:52:53):
Yeah, it's okay, that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
Wait, I'm going to go, oh, do you have any
time try scorer Robin and Billy?

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Yeah, I said Cook Cook, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
I'm I think it's going to be a big one.

Speaker 2 (01:53:10):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
We're averaging twenty three points a gaming in our attack.
I think we have to score at least we have
to get at least twenty points to win this game.
I'm going to go dragons by I got dragons by six. Um,
I'm going to go. I think let's have a look.

(01:53:35):
I think val were going to try it. We do
have that lethal left Side's going to be a try.
Try to score at any point in the game. I'm
going to go. Dilan egan to get his second tribe
his career. He was huge for us last Saturday, sorry Friday,
and yep, I think ours are really going to have

(01:53:55):
to stand up. We're are going to have to overcome
this big, manly pack. So the Eagle will land at Brookie,
our Eagle, not theirs, and Dragons by six.

Speaker 2 (01:54:08):
Yeah, totally agree with you. Yes, I think the Dragons will.
I think they win by twelve actually, and we'll get
that twelve twelve numbers out of our head. We can
get rid of that then winning game by twelve and wait,
lose the game, but yeah, I think slave, we're going

(01:54:30):
to try over to a low maybe maybe two its
allows not a tall guy. Slag's a little bit taller
than him, so we'll go there, Testley, we'll get the
first try Dragons by twelve. Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
