Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the rugby field to the rotary shed. It's the
Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I come from the dream time, from the dusty red
soil flames. I am the ancient heart, the keeper of
the flame.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Right out, Time to hit across the ditch, across the
Tasman catch up with our Australian correspondent Jim Dolan. Morning Jim,
we got on there, We got on there, morning, Jim.
Good Brian recovered from the Panthers result last night.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Have you they're pretty impressive. They just wore Melbourne down
right up the middle and they held on for a win.
Jerome blew Eye after the game might be right when
he said that will never happen again. Four premiership wins
in a road pretty impressive considering some of the players
they've lost. Craig Bellamy says that they were just too
good and they've got better every year they've played at
(01:01):
their Grand Final, which is not easy to do. But yeah,
it was a fantastic game.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
A few controversies though in the game, but of a
biting incident and a bunker debate.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, there's an every dull moment with camera monster. He
was held down by Paul out of Alamarty. He's got
a pretty decent mouthcut on him, so I'm not sure
how much damage he couldn't flict. But Alamati was adamant
and he chased down the referee and showed him something
on his arm that he was so with thief. Marks
Munster was in the plage. You can say you seen
(01:35):
going oh, and that he's he's been out of it,
shouting at a referee. I didn't do that. I didn't
do that. I didn't do that. And then the bunker, yeah,
he's got down low. Some great work by Zavia coach
you thought was very good for the storm, and there
was plenty of panthers there, just like all night, whenever
something happened, there were plenty of panthers there. I thought
(01:57):
there was a hand under the ball the whole time,
but there's others claiming there's footage that show the ball
touch in the grasp. Don't know about that when there's
a hand under it. But the better team won on
the night. They were clearly superior and I don't think
there's anything to stop them doing it again next year.
I just five players to put those key positions.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Only South Sydney in nineteen twenty nine with five premierships
and Sat Georgia in nineteen sixty six with eleven have
had more consecutive success.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, we want anything like Sir George again, But certainly
the Panthers. It's just I think up to them there,
how strong their minds are and how willing they're going
to be earlier in the season. Like I think once
they get to the Grand Final, they're going to be
very hard to beat. So the toughest challenge now will
be getting there, which is pretty tough for every side
(02:46):
in the comfort teams except the Storm.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Any other news out of the Grand Final from.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Over there, Ah, well, we saw earlier in the day
the Roosters too good in the NRLW they led twenty
four nil at halftime, but we're almost run down. The
Brave Sharks held on for thirty two twenty eight with
a fairly frenetic last minute there. And in the Interstate
Championship it was Bruce ban Norris's coming from behind I
(03:11):
think arn Kelly who scored the two decisive tries late
in the game. There's talk he'll be at the Gold
Coast in the NRL if he's not I'm sure there'd
be a few other teams looking at him. Now. That
was a massive comeback ave in new Town and he
took on the line what he had to and was
pretty good. And I know he's one of your favorites,
kid Larroy. I thought he was really good. A lot
of people saying I don't know who this is, but
(03:33):
I don't think he's aimed at them. He's certainly aimed
at the younger audience and you can see why he's
in a national superstar and when he covered in excess,
never tears apart, I think he might even won a
few of the.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Whole ye over alrighty, okay, let's touch on the on
the T twenty. The Aussie's looking very strong.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah. There was a lot of extras for the Ozzie girls,
which is unusual, as was the poor fielding and a
few chances put down. It's pretty hot where it's being
played and Australia held on to beat Sri Lanka. The
stump might picking up Lisa Heay behind the behind the
stumps with the gloves on, telling some of the shrilank
In batters they should probably try and use the bat
instead of letting the ball go pass, so yeah, any
(04:13):
danger of playing a shot, that sort of stuff. So
we'll see how that pans out. But yes, I think
the heat may sap a few teams, and wearing all
black in a day game probably not the best idea
for some people.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know, Well, we're pretty tough. We actually beat India
first one, I think, first one in ten games.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
NBL.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Let's touch on the NBL gaining.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Some traction too, Yes, well, with the NRL pretty much
the biggest show in town on the weekend, the NBL.
I was surprised to see it actually on the TV news,
which is something I don't think it's been really happening
for years. The Breakers are the unhand defeated team, but
they've only played two games. Some teams have played five.
There's surprised to me. The Illworra Hawks holding on a
(04:58):
second at the moment, and the Kings are third, and
the jack Jumpers, who are struggling a little bit. They
got an overtime win against the Wildcats last night, so yeah,
some real interest in that, but maybe they'll be swallowed
up this week by the most amount Panorama.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Well, yeah, looking forward to that one. That's bath this weekend. Hey,
looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, yeah, and the new rules for next year or
the new why the series will be we explained to
the drivers this week. So so what their reaction is.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, absolutely good to talk Germ.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You have a good one beautiful day today.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
My son a
