Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Dancy
Wildegrave from Newstalk ZEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Jim of the Dolan Variety joins us and now all
the way out of Australia, live and free and ready
to go.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
And what's haiming at the Gabba?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Get a Jim morning, Darcie. Yes, this is the game
that should start the summer, but we're already two tests in.
It's one ah and we're very excited about today. Pat
Common says it will be a bounce of war at
the Gabba. It worked in Adelaide, so why don't make it.
Plan a on the fastest pitch in the land, Scott Boland.
He will resume his role of being the drink's carrier.
(00:45):
If he's playing for any other team, he'd probably have
a couple of hundred tests. We gets by now and
at least fifty tests, but he's got to buy his
time again. Josh hazel Wood is back from that preemptive
rest to make sure he can get through the summer.
And Dave Warner, who this is the first series without
Dave Warner des he he's on the outer. He's had
a crack at Marnus He suggests number three was too
(01:09):
defensive in Perth, then too aggressive in Adelaide, and Warner
says it's a trend for Manus to get out at
Gully once he passes fifty by the Skagne says Warner
should deal in facts. That's only happened twice, So I
doubt they'll be having coffee before the test this morning.
It is a sellout, so we're all excited about that.
The bad news is the rain is forecast to start
(01:31):
in about twenty minutes from now and get really heavy
at lunch time.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah. I've lived in that part of the world when
it runs. Whoo, it rains. This is great from Warner.
This is what he's been to do now right, he's
a pardon he's got to come out.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's flashing upset his former teammates, and why not.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
He knows he's got the inside. Oh and have a go.
And I think we love that conflict. There's the audience.
We want to hear this, We don't want to hear this.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Bland bays, this cream assumption that everything's lovely and happy
in Joyce.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Give us something to get our teeth into.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
David, good on you okay, you don't agree to thank
you Darcy for that editorial. I just kind of hard
to believe that Warner could be having a crack at
some of for being too aggressive with their patty.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Australia have a favorite coach, they are feeling the pinch.
I'm king to know.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You've got so many sports teams and so many favorite coaches,
which one is this?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Well, the round ball game, all of the column inches
and TV appearances, there's more talk about mister Ange posta
coogluke than all this A league and a league women combined.
At the moment, he's everybody's favorite coach in Australia. He
still is. He was coaching our national team, but he's
had a serious crack at the senior players at Spurs.
(02:46):
You may have noticed he's under a little bit of
pressure there to perform. At Tottenham well, he's under almost
as much criticism as the club's owner. But Ange was
furious at the senior players in there one one draw
with Rangers in the Europa League. He says the younger
players have adjusted to his system and the leading and
(03:07):
doing very well and giving one hundred percent. However, it's
the senior players he would like to see having the
same sort of effort and lead by example. His example
is that he dragged Timo Werner from the field and
told him, as a German international, his performance was unacceptable
and when asked how to feemale rack, I don't care.
(03:28):
We'll find out a training So they place Southampton on
Monday morning. And there's plenty of suggestions this could determine
And and his entertaining style stay on in the English
Premier League or if he's looking for another job. I
hope he certainly. I'm not the greatest Spurs fan of
the world, but I certainly hope that And stays there
because I really do enjoy his coaching style, both on
(03:51):
and off the field, well even with a leap yeah
oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So there's a lot of rage and anger in these
crosses today, Jimmy, ik mate.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's the Christmas spirit of.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Course, Ho ho ho, And I could think of no
been a subject on those lines when it comes to
a derision, division and rages the NRL.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
What have they got for us?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Now? It just never ends with players and changing teams,
potentially changing teams this time next year, which I can
never get my head around. And now, of course we
have the news that Papua New Guinea will be into
the NRL in twenty twenty eight. They've been told there'll
be no special dispensation to pursue players early, although the
six hundred million dollars offered to the club and the
(04:36):
chance to pay players tax free will give them a
certain advantage. They have to abide by the same rules
as the current clubs, which means November one, twenty twenty six,
is when they can start signing players for twenty twenty eight.
And just to add a little bit more pressure, because
we can't have sport without gambling, the tab has already
put them out at one hundred and fifty to one
(04:58):
to win the premiership in their debut season. Nothing like
a bit of pressure like that. I wonder if we
can get on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Us in all honesty, are they really going about to
convince any half decent Australian rugby league player to go
and live in Port Moresby?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And then I would imagine there are many managers suggesting
players who are approaching there into a career, going hey, this
could be for you.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We sho didn't really laugh. You read the stories about
Port Morsey. She's an interesting place. They might all about
living in a compound and all seriousness that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, that's what they've been saying. There will be a
secure compound. I think some players will probably want to
move outside of that. I doubt they'll be leaving the
Port Moresby city limits. But I do know from my
crossings with puppy Ninian people over the years, they love
nothing more than rugby league. It's just absolutely insane how
much they love the game. So I think they'll probably
(05:54):
all unite behind this and it will not be an
easy place to go with.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Now, and they'll be treated like demi gods over there.
I spoke with the Great Steve Riyce a couple of weeks,
a couple of days ago, and he says, mate, there's
nothing like you too, are there blows your way. See,
the passion is relentless, it just does not stop. So
it could be fun. And then Cameron George was on
the show a couple of days ago saying they might
have to split it up into two different divisions to
(06:20):
deal with all the trouble they're going to be doing.
That struck me as quite new.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You hear of that before.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, there's been pushes for years by some of the
Neanderthals involved in the game have suggested you should have
a Sydney college and everybody else in another college. And
I'm not sure how that would reduce to travel for
teams like the Warriors or the New P and D
team or the Cowboys. But yeah, it won't be an
easy one to master, but I'm sure they will. And
(06:48):
if I was PNG, I wouldn't want to give up
the home ground of those fanatical bands and the rock
hard sit playing surface, and I play with their advantage.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, you get you're going to join us next week
for the last time this year or not?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Absolutely, Jim, love you there.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You're on the golf course, even in the middle of
the night.
