Welcome [Music] hello and welcome to aortal behavior for this week many ways to win a game get your team home as a halfback he won the game with his kicking gun Andrew kicks back and across it has been a freakish kick by Andrew John I thought he'd maybe retire but give me Father for I said maybe God has come to Marathon well hello and welcome to Immortal Behavior this week brought to you by tab good to see you Joey what Johns spills the tea have we got there a little cup of tea i s scratchy throat yeah that's not good what's your tea of choice uh English breakfast truck or two no milk one sugar oh there you go there you go what's your coffee of choice uh a really hot that's right it's got to be burning can I have really hot like my man all right on that note let's mother-in-law yeah and she goes so I hot latte like my man what do you want she go I a long black and I go I'll just leave that one hello J she she loves a mortal Behavior she she's actually told me she actually likes Kamal she needs oh does she she's got I haven't told her the story about Ben kennedy having Kamal and Bob Hawk jamming their heads together at where at the races at the races so good oh how do I want to know what led that what led to that it was when sing's horse won the um golden slier b b so me and Matthew are doing something for nine actually guess tipsters and then he go that come up come up the box so we got there m and and then went for it and then we hear this screaming we look around BK Bob Haw go John get him off don't BK hit him harder oh oh what an error what an error um all Latrell issued with HUGE fine right let's get stuck into some footage hat uh because some news today that souths have issued latr Mitchell with a fine so it's a $100,000 fine uh with $80,000 of that suspended so he's only paying $20,000 up front at the moment your bond is that what they call that's pretty much what it is what do you make of this is it fair too harsh too too soft it's pretty sufficient it um you know what am I going to say with my background um but uh yeah I I think it's penalty sufficient um do you ban for one game one game one game baned $220,000 fine from the N $20,000 in House Fine get on with it let's move on move on um all right let's Eels roster rebuild talk about the eels roster rebuild because we had yesterday some news from Michael Shamus that Jason rolls has told uh gotho and Ryan Madison as well that they're both required for next year um how hard is a rebuild at a club at the moment for for Jason RS looking at his roster at the eels how hard is it to rebuild well it's incredibly hard because to get say a real high-profile top Elite player you're going to have to play overs and to pay overs then your salary cap gets weighed down with this and that so if you find yourself in a hole with the salary cap it's so hard to get yourself out I think the paramet are lucky they have a strong Junior base um so identify the best young players coach the hell out of them build from within I I don't know what's coming through in the Juniors I think one of their junior teams was pretty strong maybe their under 19s um but the nucleus of the team they've had injuries this year but the nucleus of the team they get them all in the FI they got a team to compete yeah well you look at you look at their team on paper their team that is fully fit you've got Mitchell Moses you got Fint GS Dylan Brown you got will penini you've got you got the players there um Jermaine hop good Oregon he's a player they've really missed signed yeah he's had that back injury U and the the young guy from pen I'll get this wrong i' probably slaugh that there's high hopes for him at fullback and if that's the case maybe gutho goes to 1 well you put gutho anyway because he's comput and he's that tough but what keeps getting said about gutho is they need some X Factor at fullback and look GTH has lost a couple of yards everyone would know that but he just competes every week so he's got to he's got to be somewhere in the St where where do you Where does Gutho fit in the roster? see his best position in in the team I still certain fullback depending on the young guy um coming through iongi um sorry if I pronounce that incorrectly which I have uh I haven't seen too much of him I saw bits and pieces when he played filled in when Dylan Edwards he looks a good player so I'll probably start the season with Guth out fullback and then bring on the young fell if he he shows enough promise so then would you have goth moving to another position on the field or coming off if if the young fell showing real promise then he goes to fullback and yeah Guth you know you know you you could even move GTH to 58 and maybe move Dyan Brown to fullback mes goth in the halves D Brown at full bag it all depends on once sayi yongi how's he go and the reps are big so let's see yeah well what do you see at the moment for looking ahead to 2025 for param the weaknesses in their roster where are they really lacking uh well the front row R Campell gillard's gone I really don't know what's coming through there they might have some young players coming through I think the dummy half is a position they sort of chopped and change with um Brandon hands and uh blond Blow from the Norther bees loik loik with joery lassik so you got to find stability there who's their number one dummy half and there's got to be more of a threat from dummy half there's got to be a run threat every te should have a run threat from dummy half so that's what they need to find where do you see the the strengths in their side of the moment are they halves well Moses and brown um hopg good I like him in the pack when hopg Good's on the fur he organizes his middle forwards and provides an offload they play well when they get off offloads junior junior bow another name of sort so Junior when he's on song he had the injury this year the lower Le injury I feel like it was a foot injury one of those they knew Junior on the field and firing once again he provides the offloads and the second phes which they play well off they get this their best 17 on the field they could compete for sure that's Moses ke um all right let's Premiership smokies look ahead to the finals time this is very exciting time of year um you've said that Manley are a team that you can see going on a run uh all the way to the Premiership what makes you say that oh they a big game players and we know turbo can find another gear year or two we know du e he's done at all levels uh I think U is a big game player they got stars all across the field they need everything to go right if they're going to make a run the last Thursday night's loss against the Tigers yeah it was uh disappointing but three play s if they don't get S they win the game so tough one there um but they got big game players that's the key you can lift you know in a big game pressure they're going to lift what a crazy um experience as well for Luke Brooks you know he hasn't played sem before never how how would he be feeling in this position right now that like can you imagine that well first semi he doesn't he doesn't when he packs his bag he doesn't put his passport in there his car might go to the airport we going we going toie yeah brooksie looking forward to seeing him playing semis and look it's important he just does his job run threat when he's running the ball that's when he's at his best um especially down that left side they need that real run threat the right side daily Cherry Evans and U own that but yeah looking forward to seeing Brookie playing the semi good is there anything you seen from him in the last few weeks that you'd like to see him certain areas of his game LIF more or just running running the ball yeah real run threat when he runs the ball he's such a threat because he's he's quick he's powerful he gets those he's got a low center of gravity be to tackle um what about the dogs there's a Johns' reasoning for Dogs downfall lot of excitement around them at the moment a lot of Bulldogs fans they're they're believing that this team can make it what makes you wary of of the dogs well they're untried at that level once again I speak about you got to find another gear when you're going to those big games in semis and especially Grand finals um you got to find another gear you got to play in quicker Pace under fatigue and look that that's the knock on canala whether they have the ability to go from fourth into fifth gear and you know that penth will Melbourne will The Roosters will that's a challenge for canala and I think mly manly you got the players who can step it up at played that different pace um for the Bulldogs things in their favor they they defend incredibly best defensive record in the comp they're playing with tremendous Spirit but the key players are untried at this level and you know has the team uh got that to go to that level I don't know whether they have the class to beat Melbourne at their best I don't think they can beat if Melbourne's at their best penus at the best R are the best I don't think they can can beat can beat those teams also Bulldogs have a tough game against Manley this week and next week do they play the Cowboys is it theow so going into the semis they have two tough games so if they come fifth can they win four big games in a row it's it's a no one's done it outside the top no one has done it the year that though that that could yeah so Cowboys in there last week at the moment you had to ring you go Melbourne here roosters just behind them just behind the roosters pen and I think there's a big gap to the rest of the team too big ass no one has done it no one has done it for what the last 30 odd years there's a reason it's too hard I remember talking to Mitchell Moses about when they went on that run param and they got beat in the Grand Final by pen that two years ago yeah I was asking him about he goes man Grand Final week he goes I was flat as a pancake he said people would wouldn't understand it's the biggest game of your life he said mate I was cooked playing so much tough footy I think they were on the road even they were up the travel but they're not machines they're humans and they get tired physically they everyone's busted mentally getting yourself up to play footy getting yourself up emotionally to play in those big games naturally it's it's just so hard it's no no one will wanted outside the top four you were even saying though this the other day about the Bulldogs and the fact that they are so fit they're so fit as one of the Fest teams in the comp and there's no secret Travis tum is there and he's he's trained them that hard and that's why they're getting success and they got trust in each other cuz they his players has worked hard and he's redlined at training it's a great story it's it's a story of the year the Bulldogs but I just think this year I don't know if they I don't know if they have the class to beat those top three team hopefully I'm wrong as usually well Focusing on the finals if you're a Premiership Contender right now so you're in a team that's going to be playing finals footy what do you do in these next few weeks to take you up to that extra you know 5 10% when we won comps it was always we're going to make a sacrifice a couple of weeks out whether it was you wouldn't have a beer or some players that'd stop having ice cream or stop having coffee in the morning um what' you do ice cream yeah said I'm not having coffee and then someone you don't drink coffee you got me I won't have ice coffee no I didn't have a beer for about a month yeah and you know what whether it's psychologically or what it just you're making sacrifice and you're doing it as a Gro bring everyone together a little bit not having a beer for a month and then we won the comp those first 54 beers I have were just sweet so making sacrifices did you feel your your uh your tolerance changed Immortal yeah Immortal Behavior Immortal Behavior that's it yeah that's mortal that's what happens when you win a Premiership Immortal is misbehave um yeah been making sacrifices and it's it can be fun but then you know you even bring it up you ear a chocolate for 6 weeks how good is it how good's that marsbar going to taste yeah yeah but uh yeah that sort of stuff but from a uh a playing point of view I'd always concentrate firstly on my defense I say right if I can get my defense right and I'm aggressive defense and get myself in there and really defending hard then it shows that I'm on and my timing's on and the other thing the kicking game I really work on extra my kicking General play kicking and my goal kicking leading into the big game as in would you stay back after training dot stay back all the time 20 minutes no hours hours during the week yeah if the body if you could sustain it if it was fit and firing at that stage i' do you probably one or even two extra kicking sessions and goal kick so important you go up by sixes in those big games so how long would you do a goal kicking session for oh half an hour 40 minutes yeah look it's Nathan's seeing that at the moment it's it's hard to continually to do it an hour after training cuz your body breaks down but um you get out there and as I said half an hour 40 minutes but it's more quality instead of kicking 40 kicks you you kick 20 but really concentrate on it and go through different scenarios and situations and different parts of the field even playing your head right there 10 minutes to go I got a nail this kid put the pressure on and then know it it's exciting time it's the best time of year like you go outside it's warm swim in the ocean it's just the best time of year the birds are chirping the flowers are blooming people are getting married I went for a swim the other day oh yeah as cold as it no You' been reading the daily Ma I have I read the Daily Mail I saw a Kate kall lucky girl yeah very lucky girl beautiful ring y congratulations y it only happened two years ago yeah yeah they're on the money the daily MK are um do you have any plans for a next question box party party imortal Behavior Bo party an immortal Behavior box party we'll do it with Gus's Boat Trip yeah I'll have a Rebel boat trip okay you'll have the little speedboat off the off the big boat I'll have the face stop I'll have I'll have a b 5,000 people turning up 5,000 people and pretty much no teeth by the wrestling and all sorts of shans what would be your Ideal Box party well I've I've had a couple I don't know I can't believe lessons from the have their bucks pay they go to Vegas or fly I went to I went to a hen party in Vegas we went back to cesn we PB sess that was good we had a we had a four four nights in Vegas and then I think four nights in Malibu oh yuck getting penic text no those those days are gone just a just a one uh one day at the pub just one day power yeah The Hour of Power the day of power the 24 hours of power um all right well um let's talk a Gus gives Galvin a MASSIVE wrap little bit about lock and galin we uh we did a his game last week when they beat the seagull at lard overal uh he was phenomenal to watch and Gus was actually calling him the best teenager he's seen that's huge he's seen how many teenagers Gus is considering Gus really me mentored and uh molded Brad fitler's career I got to say I think Brad fitler's the way he started his career I I think it's a bit better than Loy galin but different Freddy played in The Centers then he wasn't playing in the halfes Lucky G's doing all on his own he's got the six on his back but he's playing half this well Gus was saying that he reckons he'll be the highest paid player ever by the end of his career yeah without a doubt him see Walker well Nathan's only 26 Nathan's got another 10 years of earning and the halfbacks and there's there's not too many around so if you you go Nathan at the moment and then you probably go sand Walker and then look uh Isaiah cow got a massive rap on him but then the next one's probably gvin just off Jerome Hughes Jerome Hugh but he's getting older yeah Jerome would in his 30s wouldn't he I'm just I'm talking about four time yeah Walsh R Walsh but halfbacks you know they they're not falling out of trees like they used to it's you know it's the bare minimum how much can you imagine Lo and galin earning by the end of his career per per season it's going with inflation I'm just doing m in my head um yeah he he'll be oh what's lucky now he's 19 so he's got another 15 years of earning so the salary cap by then will probably double yeah he's two two and a half million a year was exciting for him and you know what it wouldn't change you you see him after the game how excited how much he's he's he just loves playing foot and he doesn't play for money Sam Walker doesn't play for money Nathan doesn't play for money they just love playing and Tom turbo doesn't play for money he offered to to give some back but the best ones play for money do you remember seeing um Nathan clear at these early stages of his career compared that to L Galvin do you see totally different house uh well when Nathan first started he was very controlled and I actually said publicly I don't think he T takes enough risks uh I don't think he's creative enough but he's developed that side of his game well now he's the ultimate player he's got everything but at the start of his career I thought he was too conservative um where I probably think at this moment they're both their careers galvin's probably in front um and Galvin physically has got so much developing to do like as you seen he looks like a 16-year-old boy he's so tall but you can just tell that he's he's going to yeah he's going to fill out so much in he's um in 2 3 years time he'll have another 10 kilos on his body I think he's 91 kilo Benji was telling me yeah right so he'll get up to 100 kilos um but if I had to compare at this stage I think Lan would be sort of just in front of Nathan but Nathan each year he has built his game differently and now he's the complete halfback there is no weaknesses he creates he does everything so that's the challenge for locky Is you know teams work out you got to keep evolving you got to keep changing your game so that's a challenge but he's got the best coach I'm stoked to hear Benji saying look I'll let him make errors I let him get out there and play it's probably the best coach for the way he plays it's exciting for the West Tigers bull next year Galvin Lui appy Heath Mason he's a good player too they get the Ford's firing and yeah it's good times for the Tigers it's exciting time Brothers what's it l to fin the rap Benji gave him off camera to me and then he na na nailed that pass who scored under the post who's the right back R wasn't samuella uh was it sa safe I feel like safe D Alex safe he's every Primary School teachers who we got this year you got Alex sa Alor gambling can can you [Laughter] imagine it was it saer yes a SAA scored in the 46 he said Benji's words were silky skills and when latu got the ball and was going quick with his feet but then held the ball up quick feot soft hands it's rare to have he he looks a really good player yeah well exciting times ahead for the Tigers and for for footy fans as well we love seeing um you know young players coming in and evolving uh that's all we have time for for this week's episode of immortal Behavior do you think the kns will make the top eight um that's no no you H I think it's between them and Brisbane and Brisbane play the Dolphins yep that's going to be a big game the Dolphins so injured at the moment they play B melbour last round so B plays full team apparently so the knights go titans this week at home next week they got Dolphins old boys day yeah but they're for and against newc a lot better than the dragons yeah I think the night's mace scrape in okay I love I love this when the lad is like this I know when it everyone sort of trying to work it out perations it's a it's a log jup um all right well we're going to get started with um planning Joey's box party yep we'll have to get Gus on the phone we get the start yep we'll get G on the phone see
