Matt Gunn: Josh Addo-Carr's Roadside Drug Test, Woeful Wallabies, Tasman Win Ranfurly Shield

[Music] it's only Sport with Martin develin on the platform brought to you by one New Zealand let's get [Music] connected come on let's be positive just stop right there no negativity let's be positive LBP let's be be positive LBP let's be positive we're going to be positive mate about your doggies ah well okay well let's be positive about the upcoming home final against Manley and be positive about the fact that you were a konala sharks fan on Sunday how are we going to be positive about your wallabies but I suppose you could ask the same question about the All Blacks Tasman win the shield and that can of Coke left on that as a troll wasn't that brilliant the black CS play Afghanistan let us start with OK car then and the great positive news about this is that ocar is innocent well according to him he was or although Phil good says he may have been a little bit confused about the way the situation played out and listen I've never I've never been I've never been involved in a roadside drug test but uh what I don't think would be confusing is when you swipe the thing down your tongue and they say it's positive Josh now we need a secondary T see I don't know how you misinterpret see that to me is the other thing which confuses me is that Josh isn't playing Josh is at the team Hotel uh he doesn't tell anyone he's leaving the team Hotel he leaves the team hotel in his car to go get a phone charger I would have thought that maybe reception might have been able to help him out with that maybe a dairy down the road or perhaps he was actually going for more nefarious purposes you see this is the problem that these guys have isn't it they don't think about what their lies are and then they start sort of just trapping themselves in Corners with so many of them all of a sudden to have to re-explain right yeah look in this household we have uh two types of phones uh so there's two different connections for the charger but you've got an apple uh and you've got the Android and between between the three of us we could normally put together a charger operation so I find it very difficult to understand how one of the teammates also didn't have a charger or or as you say someone at reception uh look I mean it it it's not it doesn't look good for Josh at a car Phil G has come out and said look he's spoken to the police and he had to sit down with Josh and his manager to just reassess the situation after of course Phil at adoc car's first word hit social media saying this is a blow up there's nothing in it uh he'll be innocent uh well he's not saying so much anymore and look uh the dogs apparently are discussing whether or not they stepp him down for this week's game I can't imagine how he'd be on the field under any circumstances but after such a fantastic year and um pretty much an incident for a year Well apart from the Bulldogs fans bash in the cambera uh mascot out the front of the stadium there a couple of months ago it's been a pretty clean run for us and uh they had their rewards night on Monday um maybe Josh was allowed to show up with his gifts for the boys I'm not sure Mar but the great thing about rugby league mate is that every it seems week or weekend it reminds you that it's rugby league mate and the people that are playing and the people that f look it's just it's no surprise to anyone and I react with Amusement about this now because when these incidents happen and none of them are funny but I mean you know drug charges and and the The Continuous domestic abuse charges whatever it is it's just inevitable it's never going away rugby league this is who your sport is and who plays it and who this is just what it is isn't it yeah look it's um you spending a few weeks in Australia recently and reading plenty of the news it's the it's the most popular drug in Australia at the moment cocaine so whoever's involved uh I'm not surprised uh this doesn't really surprise me I mean the timing of it could not be worse uh and of course I wish it was uh from from the penth Panthers or M storm but it's not mate but it's not and so uh it is what it is he's missed a fair bit of the Season we will miss him if he doesn't get to play because he's an explosive player he's the kind of guy that can uh make a break and can't be run down well this is the whole point though Matt from now on and every time I mean there's just a rolling Stocker jokes isn't as he's speeding down the side and look he looks as he's off to see his drug dealer he's running haven't seen him that far since he running from the cops you know you can't you can't you can't stop him when he sees the white line you know see this this is positive we've turned it into a positive it is a positive we made some humor out of it I don't know what else you can do about it but I mean as we look forward to the playoffs uh we got a couple of very strong teams uh in the Panthers and the Melbourne storm and then there's six other teams who I suppose on their day could upset each other the question is the question is is can they can they bring it together and beat the storm or penth which probably you know fairly likely will look like uh what the Grand Final is roosters have got a lot of issues with injury and suspension the Sharks looking pretty good I was surprised the knights made the top eight but ponga got them home and they'll play the Cowboys and then the doggies in the SE Eagles on Sunday look Lan was just throwing stats at me left and right I I was a little bit deject today after the way our season is finished but he assures me that you can lose four or five or six of your last seven or eight games in the NRL and still win the Premiership so being positive being positive um I'm not overly positive but I'm more positive than when I spoke to Lan a few moments ago let's be positive knock knock who's there wallabies yeah who you know you got to ask yourself now I mean really if that who do you go to now when you were up 20 to3 and you fogged 6727 I mean they could sack all of those players legitimately so the whole lot of them right but then what who do you go to next I don't I mean this is all you've got it's the same as the All Blacks we're you know we we're not getting thrashed like that but we got every right to be disappointed in our playing stocks at the moment which which aren't good I mean this is an all black side which is losing way too many test matches every year full of excuses and everyone wants to sweep it under the carpet but looking at your lot good God if we can't give you a 30 or 40 pointer in both of those games we're we're in real trouble yeah I mean if anyone's not uh in the all black Camp looking forward to the couple of matches coming up against the Wes I don't know why you why you'd even be involved four matches played South Africa look like they've got this one tied up I mean unless Argentina uh unexpectedly beat them twice um they're going to take the rugby Championship 18 points four from four they look they just look strong they never give up and uh look there may have been a little bit of luck in the win over the weekend with a send off for the All Blacks but um you know hand it to them Argentina is the team that probably stands most proud at the moment New Zealand on seven points and the with one win and a couple of uh what bonus points I suppose Tri bonuses or whatever they call them and the Aussie on for four points after that last gasp win against that Argentina Miley what's going to happen with the rugby Championship is it true that South Africa and New Zealand are just going to do their own thing and throw the rest of them under the bus because I mean h who who who just wants two teams going at it head-to-head all the time and is anyone really interested in these Reginal games that they'll put part of these tours if and when that goes forward it's only Sport with Martin dlin on the platform brought to you by one New
