that sort of joke it's going to be fun that's going to be fun that day yeah I'm pumped for it mate and uh there's some big I said I guess plans being tossed up you know people were talking about a race around Grand final day um people were talking about uh doing all sorts of different events with players uh we will be hosting a golf day on the week of Grand Final so it'll be unreal for people who are potentially traveling down maybe they come down for the Grand Final I want to make the week of it uh and and love their golf so um there'll be a lot of people in that but get ready for Monday Monday I have all the information and we'll have a post on our socials ready to go um with an update of everyone who's involved this one's from brownie uh boys wild thought here remember the Glory Days of fatty running from midwicket to take a diving catch or Joey pumping domestic Bowlers over short cover how about we look at getting a levels vers hell Sports charity big bash game going I'd pay big money to see OG coming off The Back Fence with a run up or see hos walk down the Wicket swing for the hills and keep walking once the stump shut up just the thought slids it's good thought yeah that is a good one see all different sorts of sports around like with I guess with the offseason plans there there's definitely something there we um we do have really good relationships with not only players current players ex players but also cricket players yeah cricket players but also um you know other other creatives in in our space like uh like kmy at bloking a bar like obviously the hollow I that' beol every most players love Cricket right I think in this day and age with all the Polynesian Brothers like dominating they're not massive into Cricket did you do our cricket day in 15 when you're at Manley do you I did yeah it was good it was fun but I'm just saying like The rosters are change these days right yeah you know many of the brothers aren't like just playing Cricket before training we used to play cricket for ages before training oh mate we used to have we used have to get told to either stop playing um Cricket or uh just kick me up you know kick me up we used to play Kick me up hand all that so um all the boys love playing different uh before these come out yeah yeah yeah you're right and then the boys sort of get locked into their phones these days um but if they are in their phone make sure you go and subscribe on YouTube ma um just continually trying to get that up to 50K at the M moment follow us on Instagram follow us on Tik Tok And subscribe on Apple and Spotify because all of that helps as we know week to week we let you know this one is from OG Pretty Fly scope M I think the NL was missing out on a massive Opportunity by not RON COOTE INDUCTED AS AN IMMORTAL broadcasting the Hall of Fame Immortal coner they could easily make it a weeklong event where each day they announce a Hall of Famer a mortal and have a little mini documentary about the player they announc one thing the NRL does poorly is not celebrate things like this properly now i' had written this down before I watched the presentation last night I thought it was well done I agree with him in the sense where I think you could if if there was more I really think the NRL uh could even go a little bit further with this and um watching the emotions and we'll get to a little bit the uh the 14th Immortal Ron cot uh and what it meant to him and I know we've gone over this a number of times before there is a real opportunity to for the game at the moment is flying yeah and Peter vales and Andrew AB have done a great job and and generating money and and interest into the game at at the moment now I think we need to go back uh and we need to celebrate some of our ogs a little bit more uh and and maybe do something like they do like go over or at least watch what they do in the NFL uh because that's what I've watched uh for for a number of years now uh and and that goes to even I don't know if you would have seen a number of these mates where um there's a a representative from the NRL or the NFL who goes and presents the J with the family and surprises them stuff like that they need to do something bigger yeah and then that way you could make a week of it and then even last night like the players got a good five minutes each and they really good speeches and I'm pumped for all of them but I think there's a world in which it can be done if it was done maybe annually or every second year or something like that with a specific num number of inductees whether it might be you know five Hall of Famers every two years for example um and then at the end of five years maybe you induct an immortal something like that where it's like there's some sort of strategy behind it yeah I think that's the only thing need be tweaked it needs to be tweaked and I think um vales and abdell will be looking at that gun okay because I know vales is a massive supporter of like our past players yeah you know especially the guys like Ronnie coot and Bobby McCarthy and all those Legends so he loves the game like that and I'm pretty sure he'd be heading towards that trying to tweak it a little bit try to play homage to those guys who um who come before us and why this game so great at the moment yeah yeah no like I said the we're going we're on the right path I think we're need to get better and better but um recognition and I guess the humility to celebrate uh our greats I think is missing like where we've always been and I say this all the time where it's we're working class that's our background but if you seen um the reaction last night of what it meant to Ron cot uh and I'll get to ask you about Ron cot a little bit after this mate because we've got the AL eligibility explained here um this is in the lead up to it last night so according to the nrl's induction process the screening committee reduces the entire Hall of Fame registered down to 20 players during their first deliberation stage then in the second deliberation stage those 20 players are whittled down to just five players who are then confirmed as the final ballot the players represented are then put into a vote 12 judges then vote and give their points out in a 321 format with a lot of with a total of six points being handed out per judge that equals to 72 aggregate points available to be given out across all five players to be included as an immortal players must a achieve an aggregate of 20% or more which equates to 15 or more a minimum of one player will be inducted whilst two players each fouryear cycle can be inducted so while with this the last voting process took place in 2018 so that explains it a little bit I actually don't hate the system I like I love that they've actually let us know what this system is um I guess that makes a little bit more sense to why potentially we haven't seen or or there's been a big gap between immortality because therefore if they haven't got um that 20% or more um then that makes a lot of sense why we you know it's been really hard to separate some from others um and and and that's why we you know when we talk about guys from that you're a little bit more familiar with like the Paramount players like Kenny Sterling all those sorts of players and now we get into to Ron coot but on Ron coot um you could see he was highly emotional last night mace and um you talked a little bit about him and and he was your pick for the immortal now that he's got the immortality TS a little bit a little bit more about Ronnie coot um when you look at the the natural progression for someone like Ron cot who makes team of the centures you know what I mean like when they named it in 2008 he's the back roll for that he's the back row he's in the Hall of Fame for the roosters and South Sydney he's in the New South Wales Hall of Fame like he's P he's ticked every other box apart from being Immortal so it was just a natural progression for someone like Ron cot who's helding such high regards for the even current players and the past players it's what he does off the field as well men a league he started men a league for people the players that have ever played any player who's ever played rugby league who's fallen on Hard Times he started that you know what I mean so it's a bit bit bigger than what he's done as a player as well and he didn't necessarily need that too he's pretty well off is he didn't need anything yeah that's what says it's just speaks volumes about his character and people he's just so beloved I've seen him I've known Ron for my whole professional career and he's always just been like a sort of like Mentor older sort of bloke who played in you know the 60s and 70s so it's like you think that he wouldn't have a real good grasp on today's game but he [ __ ] does y him and Bobby McCarthy your best mates they just sit there are down in Mar all the time having a coffee with him and just [ __ ] having a good old chat they got the best stories mate yeah but he's uh he changed the game I said it the other day like big wide wide running back rower and in the at that time I think he's about 6'3 or 6'4 about 100 kilos like played in the middle I wouldn't say 100 kilos I don't know probably yeah 9 you know what I mean like he was a big body so and he was quick he scored over he scored 100 tries in his professional career so would you say more of those body shapes cuz like when you imagine those guys being taller they probably would have been front rowers he moved it he figured out he a lock in a back row yeah yeah like he he paved the way for guys like you who figured out that why run at the big boys through the middle he started running out wide and having some joy out had some Chase yeah so I was like even Bobby McCarthy sort of started that Y and they you couldn't stop him he just couldn't imagine stopping those bles if they had a little bit of pace in in that sort of era right would it trans would it transfer into today's game yeah it would yeah I think I think immortality translates yeah and that's the big thing with me you got to be able to play in every single era if you're an immortal you can't just be fixed on the 60s and 7s that's a totally different game or the 80s and 90s totally different game compared to now um and can we play in their era you know what I mean so it works both ways yes yeah you're right and there yeah when I I guess that's a compliment I give to players now like yeah you could play in the 60s 70s one of the highest compliments I think you can get for me to give to players now is like he'd be sweet back in the ' 80s and they're basically our dogs of the world [ __ ] asell when you think of guys like Ru and cotter and even like Tommy did and guys that stand out stra away from the Cowboys um that's just s you know um but Ronnie C what a what a man like I'm so happy and did you see how much that meant to him last night yeah got me a little bit yeah but you see like cam Smith and Bill and that they're going to be Immortals it's just a matter of time you got to pay homage to these old guys and it means a hell of a lot more y i AG I just think um they did the right thing I'll put you on the spot here um you called this with Ron cot you anticipated you said he deserved it do we go back is there anyone else sort of prrl era so 97 that the core of their career so take Loy and Freddy out of that yeah uh is there anyone else you think will eventually be an immortal no they're all they're already in there yeah the langin and rapers and all that kind of stuff they're in there already so not off the top of the head yeah I don't know that much about it yeah I me I mean about those absolute you know Legends like back then apart from the guys like Ronnie [ __ ] all the guys that are in the in the immortal group yeah so I think they probably got the last one maybe you know Bret Kenny maybe bton yeah Brett Kenny they keep hearing whispers about him he'd play in any ER as well yeah I was playing golf with Fletch yesterday and he was on the Sunday show with with Maddie and um he scored two tries in Grand finals Grand finals and uh one I guess one of the greatest compliments uh you can get is the respect from your peers and Wally Lewis W Lewis when Wally Lewis is vouching for you when you were probably considered to be his biggest competition for New South Wales and Australian Jersey not for New South Wales jerseys but playing for New South Wales against Queens land and then when it come to getting an Australian Jersey and Wally Lewis is an immortal he is the sixth Immortal um he can't be too far behind B can't be too far behind I would say I would say maybe Bert but then again going to go some from Ronnie in the 70s y you got to grab Bert in the ' 80s okay and then you grab Freddy from the '90s is that how it's going to go maybe that's the way I'd be looking at it maybe if they're going to take their [ __ ] sweet ass time like they are you might as well do that or next year you just get that 80s 90s bang Bang Yeah and then then 2000s will be locky it I guess it raises the question the big thing with Bert is reck so with the locky one yeah bang bang bang get then you can get into whoever's been retired now I would have loved to have made just say if it was going to be the case and we eventually do see someone from that dominant Paramount team and it is indeed maybe b k BR Kenny whether it's Peter Sterling whether it's Ray Price whoever it may be out of that group um then it would have been cool for them and duct him with Ronnie cot and then go 2 uh sry 9990 2010 like Freddy and Loy together and then I think the king of the 90s was Freddy and the 2000s was Loy yeah I honestly think that yeah so do I yeah and then 2010s you got you got Cam and Billy and JT they can split it between them yeah that's how it should go down yeah and then everyone else just you've done your job well congratulations uh Ron cot uh welld deserved and um yeah immortality good um this one's from Jimmy Reid this is with regards to Tommy turbo um surely this is we had so many VERSATILITY IN THE NRL now we talked about versatility I knew our listeners were going to help us out this one so uh Jimmy Reids an L1 he goes Tommy turbo surely got to be in the conversation for most versatile Elite back overall of course cers centers at origin played on the wing for a number of years and obviously dominating at fullback when he does play fullback latrell's also another good shout um probably couldn't play him on the wing at the moment but he could easily carve up there and four yeah and then there's another one more and everyone was RTS too but probably a r rung below these days respectfully and the other one and this one's from satisfactory so there's a number of rtss and there were a number of Hamot Tabu white fetos yeah Hammer's good yeah Hammer's probably the best one at the moment yep AP from Val and what's it name who who else we mentioned um Manu yeah that's right that's how it was that's how we started didn't it uh got a shout out from Tyran Wishard got a shout out from Willie leano mate tyan wishart's definitely a part of that lineup he's most improved and he's having a good year but he's still got a lot of work to do before he's considered with some of the names that we just tossed up give me five years of work son Wishy is a um AR might be a center well here we go here's a good question for you this one's from Damen Kerns coming up next qu quick question for the boys on the back of the versatility chat can it also hinder a player when trying to get a new contract for example Wisher the blog plays every position and it basically means he gets relocated to the bench he's a of his versatility I've said this a lot about a number of players but we've said it before like you need a 14 and he's going to play 50 minutes 50 or 60 Minutes sometimes sometimes more Yep so it can be a little bit of a curse maybe when it comes to rep teams but now because the interchange is so important it could be it could help him into these rep teams yeah guys like remember Craig wing and Kurt gidley it was like [ __ ] what position does he play because they're so good at everything Kurt gidley is probably the best utility of all time I would say For Me growing Up Kurt gidley was the the best example of like he could just play anywhere to and that was a curse cuz the bench wasn't used like it is now yeah so you could probably use him on the bench was it a curse for Club level no he was basically full play fullback then he play halves so it was a little bit cuz like if a half went down and gids is playing fullback you move him to halfback and put someone else at fullback yeah so yeah you're right it gave it's as much as he can play at a high level at multiple different positions it's I know I've around positions before it just it's a bit of a punish like you just got to you need to retrain your mind whether it's even going for me which is Edge back row to middle I just it's a completely different game and a completely different mindset so you're right it can be a curse um a couple examples that stand out for me straight away Jamie buau one of my best mates I got an opportunity at Manley because Jamie was a 14 um Jamie was supposed to be the left Edge back rower uh for Tony Williams once he moved on um but then Glenn Stewart got injured on the right in preseason I ended up getting on the left and then Jimmy was just a Swiss army knife Off the Bench as the 14 Connor Watson's another great example um Connor Watson could be a really good third week in week out for for the Sydney roosters but whenever there's injuries he gets moved around to nine sometimes they want to go a bigger pack and cover him so he goes to 14 and comes off the bench it's such a tactic now yeah it's a tactic it's a coach employee so you need that really good 14 out there so here's my next question what's what's what price have you got for a really good 14 so um over 500 yeah I'm with them easy if you're a Connor Watson and stuff you just resigned with the roosters y he wouldn't be south of 500 put it that way no not after he's played our origin um for sure I think that's about right what about a guy like Wishy wish up right now his value it's really he's so young right and it's only his second year in the game you get him on third I think it's his third first couple years is nothing unless you play over like 15 games in your first year y I think he's played around about 30 games in our 30 40' be pushing 50 yeah let's have a look you'll get a jersey then uh tan Wishard 2022 right on 50 he played 50 games there you go yeah he did he got his he got his jersey did he yeah I forget last I didn't see it some I got T yeah I didn't know they'll give him unders for sure like 300 and less so what's what's his value to the storm that's the the question and what would what was what would his value be to I want to I don't want to Titans or something like that no I don't want to go yes Titans 500 plus there you go okay good yeah because I I wanted to find a team that was thereabouts not completely you know I don't want to go all the way to the Tigers because Tigers probably wouldn't be able to utilize a player like that just yet until they've built their their squad but I think a team that is very close to taking that next step Titans be a team like the Titans they they' have to give him 500 and more and AR storm would be like 300 just go 350 they'd have to right because they got too much top end Money Money Paid to um yeah it's one of those ones they do normally do a pretty good job of keeping those plays too though melbour because because you're a chance of winning every year that's why yes and you know that say like for niiko Hines you can still get the potential to go on and get a big deal later on y like eventually if you stay in that system and and maybe till you're like you know 25 26 yeah like niik did yeah yeah and even Niko right there's a lot of question mark I reckon that's still a knock on niiko now his versatility coming through playing fullback seven seven no one thought that until uh Fitzy showed some faith in him and then now when it doesn't go right for him even if it's like at the extreme levels origin people always go is he a seven you know what I mean so there's still that question different Beast people like like just origin's different I think in this day and age right now um even though I think they're probably going to be undervalued I'd give me a whole heap of tyan give me a whole heap of Nicko hindes give me a whole heap of those players I still don't know what position n i mean um Wishard is either I think maybe a center he's playing on the wing like his old boy he started on the wing yeah I believe um and he's playing on the actually I will have that exactly go all the positions that he's played everywhere in the backline you'd have to go in there a little bit Lo where is he so last year he played he played 15 in his first year you reckon he's the most versatile player in the game I think so because I don't think Conor Watson can play Wing yeah as good as he can yeah bench bench bench bench bench fullback so he's just bench all the first year and then we go back and I'll go the second year he was Bench five bench bench Ben half cback Yeah so basically um but a lot of those times he come off the bench really quickly and playing on the wing um most versatile he'd be up there he's definitely part of the conversation because he does it every week there are probably a whole heap of players like Star players who are guns at their position to if you ask them to play multiple positions they would but they're just a gun at their specific position so um yeah it's good question uh this is another good one this one is from James visor boys absolutely love the podcast uh and look STORM BREAKDOWN QUESTION forward to both your takes every week however really disappointed with the storm coverage of this podcast after our boys won such a huge match and beat the Panthers for a second time this regular season all the media talked about was Cleary's injuries and really didn't analyze the Storm at all and besides Nelson's collateral you've done the same super frustrating when our storm fans want to hear respected names break down our team's performance specific players efforts and take on moments in the game like Anderson getting hit high with' no simin lots of love so he's a big supporter but he he sort of feels like the reason I bring it up and he did it the right way he doesn't just attack attack he obviously loves the podcast he's a little bit disappointed we didn't speak more about it I guess the biggest news was the Nathan clear injury out of the the the game but um I will give him his him and the storm their flowers this is the point of bringing this up um it was a really good performance for me I had Melbourne in tier two after this performance even if Nathan didn't get injured they proved enough to me in that game all the way up until that point with Nelson being put in the bin that Melbourne are going to give penth some dramas now it even looks like that you know if they were to play obviously right now with no Nathan clear then I'm probably leaning towards Melbourne in a grand final right now like if it was next week yeah I think we give enough respect to Melbourne they justel Melbourne just do Melbourne things everyone just sort of desensitized to it and it's just like you expect them to win every game yeah that's good point I don't I don't expect them to go into a game and go they're going to get [ __ ] pumpy by penth I would say we going to go down to some plays yeah I would say we skim over Melbourne and penth more often than not and tigers and Paramount more often than not now one two extremes yeah Melbourne and penth we know what they're capable of we know what they're going to do we're going to be talking about them when it matters and param and West tigers for example and even the Broncos to degree we've hammered them enough throughout the season or they've been critiqued enough throughout the season where you just don't want to flog a dead horse like it doesn't make sense I I like to be a little bit more critical or or give some constructive criticisms in their teams in the middle you know talk about the Bulldogs are they a genuine threat can they do anything um are kenel as high as we think they're going to be me I'm not totally sold on my own team manly like those sorts of questions and those are ones that still haven't been answered I know Melbourne and penrith are going to be good like that's there's no debate on that and they're probably going to be there or one of them is going to be there on Grand final day so that's why we sort of skimmed over it um the Anderson the Anderson head eye with with Mitch Kenny I found that confusing um because Nelson didn't get any waks and this is the inconsistencies with the bunker which we'll get to a little bit in the blocker later on he get um no Anderson got hit High by Mitch Kenny Mitch Kenny got a week or two and Nelson got sent to 10 in the bin for 10 in the bin and he didn't get anything happened to him so that's again that's just the inconsistencies of the bunker which we see all the time and I try not to double down on it but it is super frustrating for me as a neutral watching those games and we're going to be talk about the blocker rule because I've seen a number of uh really respected uh ex-players be talk about it throughout the week um this one's from Pedro the pig and speaking of uh not showing my own team MANLY "MIND GAMES" BY SCOPE enough love I always get a lot I'm sort of considered the roosters hater or sharks hater and all that but very rarely this year despite where they are have I talked up manly no you haven't and this one's from Pedro Pig Pedro Pig he reckons on playing m games so so scope are thinking too much Pedro scope I love you bro you are one of the few representatives for our great Club on social media and I know what you're trying to do you're trying to keep us under to the radar but come on lad cut us some slack give us some praise we won six of our last seven oh really everyone in good form at the right time everyone coming back fit at the right time it's good times for the club won't hurt to give us some mayo next week will be good the dogs and mainly game that'll be huge that'll be a good game for everyone then you can talk your [ __ ] yeah we will talk [ __ ] after that game that's you know what yeah that's a really good indicator for me because um I guess the one uh part of Manley's game that was really disappointing when I thought I was starting to you know really get on board the fashion in which the roosters blow him off the park in that first 25 minutes that Alan went n they're they're a level behind the roosters and that's the game they lost right they did out of the seven yes um they had a couple players go H and it was a brave game and they got back into that game and only lost by a trow there was like three intercepts in that game that was lucky was good skill but you you think roosters wouldn't do that wouldn't pull the triggle out again and and yeah exactly right and I've got my concerns over the roosters and therefore if I've got my concerns over the roosters I can't then to so that was a game um and here's another one this is the one I get all the time uh this is a from shy smokes smokers barbecue is a big fan of SHARKS UNFAIR CRITICISM? the show he he messages a fair bit two-part question for this sharks fans fellas everyone's office at the moment do you think the criticism in us being at the top of the table is unfair given our lack of halves this year Newcastle had the but couldn't decide on one also will Kennedy seems to be a bit quiet this year nice TR saer on the weekend do you think potentially the lack of competition from a guy like Conor Tracy at all has got him comfortable it doesn't seem to be breaking games open this year peace Matt that comes with a lot of pressure on Kennedy as well you're game planning for him now cuz he's so dangerous I agree so people don't understand that when you have like a and he's a freak player Will Kennedy yeah you got to really go at him right and so people want to put Bombs Up sort of bully him a little bit so he's going to get a lot of attention from um from defenses because he's not the biggest fullback right so it's going to be hard for him to break games open because everyone's just game game plan for him you don't really want to kick to a c or mul mulana because they run the ball back crazy where you can get under Will Kennedy that's what they they'll back themselves to try and get in front of him and drag him back so there's more numbers on him and the halves you had your halves for a [ __ ] majority of the year you won all your games there it's only been last what couple of months in a couple of weeks without trenle yeah so there there are there is a enough of a resume to say when when you've got your your harves you are going to be a threat despite the success that they've had recently I would argue that will Kennedy he was their best when they were were struggling um when they had lost a whole heap of plays and actually lost a few games I was actually really impressed by Will candy near a couple games specifically the I think it was maybe the Melbourne game but definitely the param game where he was my man of the match in almost a losing team um and I think the criticism for me and the reason the criticism that I have is because I still think that despite where they are on the lad at Fourth I do think there's a big gap now I have them in the same bracket and I and I can't separate um canala bulldogs Cowboys manly now whether that's a slight on crenella because they're sitting forth it's up to you to decide that's just my opinion um and I think they're slightly behind the roosters but in saying that they have set themselves up nicely because they've missed niik they've now getting Braden Trindle back Ronaldo mulalo is still a bit Ginger who I think is uh really underrated and he'll be he'll be crucial for them as well um I think there is a world in which um the sharies can now hold on to the fourth position which I didn't think a couple of weeks thought they were going to slide hard and then therefore gives him a a shot at at week one of finals and they would they're going right considering what's happened in the last two months if they get Niko back um CIFA teleki is missing this week uh where's teleki teleki is missing it with some sort of injury [ __ ] he's playing good he's killing it he's killing him he is killing it and then K ero was playing really good he's back this week they'll give them a chance they'll like they want to play those guys they won't worry about going down they a team I don't think will worry about going down to Melbourne week one or five back themselves they won last time yeah they beat Melbourne down there um without Nick ohin and Brad and Trindle this year I think this it'll be a huge week one of finals for the Sharks they're gritty team Sharks if you're a fan they could go they could [ __ ] around and get to a prelim yeah I'm still waiting to see on the sharies that's it they've proved me wrong pretty much all year throughout the year but I still have my d a bit apprehensive when nik's out and then Trindle I'm like a they might fall and now I think they figured it out just play bully ball big strong fast fit kick to corners and just [ __ ] batch teams well when they were playing in 2022 when they playing their best footy I think they finished second or them or the Cowboys finished second or third in 2022 they just ran harder and tackled harder than everyone and they back they got away from it a little bit in 2023 still had a pretty good season at the start of the Season they'd found their identity again yeah and then because of all the the head the the um indecision in around what was happening with niiko and the confidence was down I think it really affected them but they're well and truly back now um but ANNESLEY ON BLOCKERS EXPLAINEDDD... let's get to the sharks in that game against the knights this is the last time I want to talk about it but it has been going on throughout the week and the reason I brought it up again to talk about is the blocker R is the explanation from Anis Lee elaborate have you seen it I don't [ __ ] bother yeah so anly explanation was that kroer and actually I've got it here just I might even just get you to watch it mate because then you'll have a a better yeah the referee or the video referee May rule obstruction if any player from the attacking team in relation to a field goal takes up a position near the play the ball and in the opinion of the referee obstructs it Defenders regardless of whether there is physical contact all the clubs have got a copy of this all the clubs have briefed on this at the start of the year you know obstruction blockers case closed so this is why I brought it up right and I've heard [ __ ] dumb I've heard number of people talk about this and this is I I've been saying this for a while now I think maybe Gran rle at the at the end of his time zero accountability ever he well it's his interpretation of the rule and what he I believe I just think he's out of tune with the game and on a number of different things like I think there are a number of decisions throughout the year but let's focus on the blocker before I get too I go too wide with this so his explanation of M watching that was that kroer and heatherington couldn't get the ball you're in you're in a you're in a those position twos like you're just running the ball there it's so confusing to me that he just can't interpret that those two two guys can receive the ball not not one of not kroer or heatherington after they didn't receive the ball moved in the way or obstructed player um I've got something from Billy Billy talked about this I think it was on his podcast and I'm paraphrasing him ever so slightly but he basically commented on now in order to take a field goal basically with that explanation from that interpretation that you would have to communicate with your team at the start of the set which tackle you want to do it on so that therefore they would move out of the way so that would completely take away any sort of Disguise of kicking the field goal basically yeah because if you were a Defender and you get back at a and you see that there's like no middle about to take a carry and it's a half or their a Sprint designated kicker then you're going to put kick pressure on and there's no you know like you're going to get to yeah you're going to get to him and you're probably going to charge it down like it takes away the mystery of of [ __ ] stupid it just doesn't make any sense so completely moving players away is that's his so that's what he thinks you should do that's and that's what he recommends teams do in order to have no gray area around it which is so out of touch but all he should say what's the rule is they need to be behind the nine and a genuine option for the ball which those two were cuz if if the nine comes out little bit they're on side and you can hit either of those guys right but he's saying to remove them to create any doubt which is [ __ ] like it is that's [ __ ] terrible it's so out of touch mate because he he not he watches games I don't know so the the rule was brought in and I love why the rule was brought in to stop the two blockers sitting just on the side of the rock which then made the markers not be able to get direct kick pressure they have to go around two blockers I understand that part of the rule this interpretation of the rule is so far wrong and Cameron Smith talked about it on um Captain's run with with be yesterday too there are blockers used on every single play of every game how is it up to the referees and the bunkers to determine that a lead Runner wouldn't have got hit on this occasion just like just like if there was a block for a block for a block and ends up leading to a try but uh a player wasn't in would they then go back and go that that player was a blocker he wasn't doing anything he was never going to get the ball imagine if they did that imagine if imagine if a block try happened this and leads to a try ride on the sideline and they decided to take the rule from uh field goal opportunity to a try and goes that M kroer wasn't genuine on the end there let's take away that that Greg Mazu try imagine the can of worms that would open up can't leave any so so many so much gray area in that right the rules are You' got to be behind the N genuine option for the ball tick stand your ground don't change your line tick don't escort yeah tick and then kick the ball over game over Newcastle should be trying to fight for a semi-final spot but they're not and by way his interpretation yes and by the way Newcastle missed that field goal too I'd assume because we never got to that point um apparently kin kicked it right I never knew that so I'm the same as you yeah we got to corrected and I think Kella fans and knights fans were going on each other um that although that would be the end result would then be um it would still go there's difference between a penalty and a seven tackle set as well right you can get more yardage um so any I just want to talk more specifically on the rule and the frustrations of the rule um because yeah there's that explanation from anle again on a number of other things that I've seen him explain this year I've really got my concerns on his interpretation and his rulings and I know that there are probably ex players up there that are communicating with anle and with the board but they're not doing a good enough job like the players interpretation not if he's flying this [ __ ] around well when you have guys like um Cameron Smith Billy Slater um I actually I watch a lot of content there's not one person who I think has agreed with with gr mesle on this point you should go on like the Footy Show or something like that and just try and break things down and get Joey in that asking him questions yeah but wouldn't be able to check oh Bill haran sorry yeah yeah um people tossed up bil um Billy Billy har harrian he was he was a bit Hollywood too wasn't he no he's the best he he he would get he would almost be he get [ __ ] down I reckon he'd be too far the other way I reckon Billy would be too [ __ ] set in his ways that he wouldn't take any communication a part of what I think's happening with anly at the moment is they're trying to fix too many things and it's just like it's it's confusing for everyone and they got to the point now where he's I think he gets confused I think he's like well what whatever I just saw then looks like a confused man who doesn't know the rules all right here we go uh mace round 25 WESTS VS MANLY late male is here West Tigers versus Eagles how I uh I guess poetic is this for Luke Brooks so the game is on Thursday at 7:50 p.m. at lart overal if Manley seagull win this game and Luke Brooks is fit Luke Brooks will play finals foot he for the first time secured Fu if manly win this game on Thursday night that's massive and that's why he made the move right sacrifice a lot of money pride and he's at the at the Eagles now they've had a great year and hopefully he does get to play finals yeah I'll be pum gets through the whole gets through these last couple of games CU these games at the moment some of them will go break them down they're [ __ ] hard to get up for if you're a Tigers fan or a player you everyone's playing for different reasons at this time of the year I think this will be a highly emotional game 10 years there didn't he 10 plus yeah I think years Junior you know he didn't really want to leave there but they just didn't put the pieces in front of him so I don't think there's any um any bad blood there is there I think there'll be a couple of shitty fans but I think for the most part I think for the most part he did it the right way he'll get booed and you know that's what you expect he's opposition player coming in I hope the lart fans bu but I hope after it's done um and he you know I'm expecting a SE Eagles win and and they give him you know they're happy for him because it's been a long journey for him as for the West Tigers though West Junior tupo is back with Adam dwey left out apparently Benji said he might not play for the rest of the year he's still figuring out he getting his body right and and he looks a bit sore or whatever latu Fino comes in Off the Bench for ton Silva who drops to the reserves Manley um we talked a lot about Luke Brooks Tommy Tel had also come over from the West Tigers he'll miss this game with a peck injury had a great year Tommy unreal to Cola goes from the bench to the center so that's pretty good replacement Kyle lon's also back who's having a really good year as well uh with Benny travic going back to the bench so um our partners at the tab have West Tigers $480 underdogs Manley $18 the line is 145 mace can West Tigers keep this close because I know you we're both on Manley yeah as I said before it's hard for the Tigers players to get up but it's like not not really do you know what I mean when you like it's hard to you know I'll rephrase it it's hard to prep for the game because you you haven't changed your prep since round one no there [ __ ] still wrestling component still a fitness component there something like that always going on so you just need to be consistent with it and then just turn up and get through this game all you do is hoping for [ __ ] no injury is there any part of the Brooks energy that Lup will Fe feed on which will uh you know sort of pump the players up a huge loss for the West Tigers though no Jen bull he didn't play last week Heath Mason is the first ever fullback to win on debut for the Tigers West tigers franchise apparently is that serious seen that's that which is crazy incredible um and they will miss him Manley not only I'm trying to I was going to get the ladder up the they new twins I mean the boys there all Manley Juniors aren't they man a little bit bad there L will be Kane they'll be all uh yeah everyone's got their reasons why they're playing at a high level at this time of the year so you really need to dig into that bag and see how much these [ __ ] games mean to you cuz we've all been in these these positions where you know if you're you're second or third year or your 10th year and you're like [ __ ] we're not making the eight this sucks why are you really playing then you'll find out yeah uh can they keep it close within 14 a half do you think they can yeah two Tri you think they can keep it close okay all right I'll Manley minus 14 and a half the next game is your game it's the Warriors versus the Bulldogs and this has been dubbed sha Johnson WARRIORS V BULLDOGS Stadium what a a great move from the Warriors they do things so well don't they despite everything you know it's been a season for not only Shan but the the fan base but that's a really nice initiative um from the war off the back oh actually I got a comment and I forgot to put it in sorry mate I'm G to have to go back and get this um so you know off the back of that Warriors fan that reached out I was reading it the other day and I forgot to Chuck it in here we go uh super important uh update for the lads after I message levels for recommendations when we fly over from Sydney for the dogs W game I reached out out to Benny G who was the guy who reached out on the back of Lily World Pub next to the stadium who messaged us with an invite I spoke to him on the phone the bloke is a legend and he is organizing a levels dogs table from 400 p.m. Friday and I'm shouting a few jugs for any dogs sniffing around and ke for a Cy before get a crew this BG PS it's [ __ ] Queensland still up the dogs how good's that from nibs nib nibs has taken over his young fell yeah send it to us on Instagram yeah and luky just said when you get there nibs and and if you can get a crew and you're chucking on a few jugs for the lads let us know send us a video and shout out to not only you nibs for reaching out and and the Warriors and the wise community and embracing him um shout out to Benny G from Lily world and um if you came for a scooner if you came for a beer beforehand and you don't want Dan hooker throwing beers at you from uh the corporates then go to Lily World um and and enjoy the game it's going to be a cracker it's a great game going to be always a great game these first two games yeah the stakes aren't as as high for the Warriors and tigers but there's a lot of emotion going to be in both of these games just reminds me of 04 right we played them similar year 2003 y warriors on a tear pumped Us in the pre uh in the second second semi-final then they got into they got into the prelim that year yep Grand Final 202 pre3 killed it y didn't make the eight no fall there you go didn't make the eight we played in ' 04 and it was about two two games before the final round and absolutely smoked him I was one of the mo but it was one of the most physical games I've ever played in this is where it doesn't matter where the Warriors are coming you're over there this this is prime Pena yeah all those BLS and ogre myself Roy pricey Bobcat it was [ __ ] on it was awful Clinton torpy was hitting BLS it was one of the most brutal games he sitting back on is this happening P seen him and O were just going at it and I was just like oh I think sbw was from the centers it was [ __ ] it was terrifying was it one of those games where they realized they weren't going to win so they were just going to take Day game on Sunday someone's gone down back then it was a [ __ ] it was bodies on the floor everyone every set of six for like the first Arc and 10 there was someone getting absolutely poxed whether it be like a center coming from outside in like Clinton torpy was dangerous Francis Melly was like that as well back was Henry far Philly playing on the right Francis on the left Henry on the right he was a scary team so if you were playing R party everyone that been his would that his eror yeah few yeah it was it was scary scary yeah remember I just remember that cuz the run into the finals that was that was one of them yeah awesome uh Wade Ean is back from an albow injury so Freddy lass reverts to the bench Chanel Harris deid 18th man Shawn Johnson's final game yeah it's going to be go media shout out to go media who if he I guess they the major sponsor for changing it to Shan Johnson um he owns the club oh does he okay oh there you go that's a nice touch so the uh the owner who owns the club owns the is the major sponsor and um he's got Family Ties um to the club and therefore um shaie Johnson has his name honored for the stadium for this for this round what a nice T TR Ms Karan has lost a bit of he's he's now Josh Karan he's no longer m [ __ ] 90 kilos he's looking good he left the field late in the match in buber shoulder sorry not 90 uh but he is expected to be right to play Max King is a part Maxi King yeah so there you go that's a good he's in the extended bench and he could play this week um The Warriors are $260 at Shawn Johnson Stadium the Bulldogs are $150 the line isus 5 a half you're obviously on the Bulldog so I don't even need to ask you that you're all Bulldogs all the way apprehensively of his last game I'm thinking if they're going to get up for one this could be it okay this is me speaking diplomatically but I'm going to go with the Bulldogs obviously but I'm like if they could get up for one game this year it's their [ __ ] last game at home for Shawn Johnson come on I don't believe in that now in in the sense I I understand whate I totally agree with that I believe at this part of the year and I've been in in games with players have played 300 games I've been in games where Nathan H has played his last game ever so what and people and people expect uh you know and you get up for it and you're highly emotion when you do all the right things when you cross the line and you're 6 60 Minutes in the thing that stands out for me is consistency and what teams have been doing all year and I am so close on the dogs I am you know I've been speaking about um the tiers tier one Melbourne penth tier two roosters on this close to after manly game you'll put us in tier two well the winner of that game they might get into the roosters tier for me um fair enough fair enough you got to earn it you got to earn it that's a good take but with the Shawn Johnson one I get it because I'm I really want to believe in uh what they got going over there I would love to see him get a win yeah you know but I just don't think it's going to happen I'm a realist as well the Bulldogs are [ __ ] so much more cons give a [ __ ] they're locked in they got more to play for so that'll Trump Donald Donald it'll get it'll get you over yeah ianka it's it's the same it's the same frustration that I had of myself when I picked the Broncos to beat the Bulldogs five or six weeks ago different circumstances more talented team versus consistent I'm taking consistency at this time of the year Bulldogs work um all right the next game is that team Brisbane Broncos against Paramount eel so I got nothing to work with you BRONCOS VS EELS another [ __ ] low game going to be a lot of ko minis for me I think this is a guess no this is going to be high scoring this will be this will be fun to watch I think these are meaningful games uh the Broncos have Tristan sailor as their new fullback ree Walsh missing some time with that wrist SL hand injury s Cobo Returns on the wing so that's a big in for the Broncos as for the eels Michel SEO and K Tangi were both on the bench there on the starting side this week sha Lan shifts to prop to fill in for w Greg and Luca meret that ain't good if you sha Lane last couple of games in the front row he's been on an edge for about 3 or four years yeah [ __ ] so we had him on radio the other day um he was saying that baz moved him from when he was at Manley chucked him in the front row he obviously you know went went elsewhere and then was able to carve out a career on the edge come back to get him again baz baz comes back immediately put him back in the middle put kelma to langing On The Edge and now after we had that interview he's moved from the edge to the front row again hating life baz hates sha Lane kid um yeah param $325 underdogs this is the Battle of the tab teams too by the way Broncos are $135 the line is 8 1 half I don't know who to back in this this is a game where no one's you got nothing to lose just go and play footy people got different reasons to play for at this time of the year you're going to really find that out yeah but we don't know that yeah so I'm just going to go the Bronx I'm just I'm just going to go paramedic for the value yeah I I think like I think this is a coin flip of I don't know what to expect from these two teams so if you give me three 25 and you give me 8 and a half start I'll take that on paramet that's my thought process okay um where's the plate at it's at Brisbane at Suncor but that's the only reason okay that's it that's it for me you would you a flipped if you found all right Raiders vers Panthers Saturday 3M at G Stadium RAIDERS VS PANTHERS for the Raiders Jordan rer returns after missing a game cussion from the week before so therefore KO weeks is shifted to 58 Adam Cook to 18th man Albert hobi comes in on the wing Seb Chris goes to the centers and Ethan strangers out with with a calf injury um for the Panthers Drome law shifts the halfback Brad Schnider comes in at 5'8 in the absence of Nathan clear Jack Cole is also a chance he's in and around the squad as well Luke sumon is a new hooker in place of the suspended Mitch Kenny Ricky absolutely rinsed his Raiders last week mace yeah they're playing a team in penrith who are missing Nathan clear now and Kenny and Kenny good point Kenny super underated super underrated they actually uh their middle softens up when he's off man I agree I age it's going to take fishing good two two or three more games to get to where he's at yep he's probably a little bit below his best on the weekend still got through some great minutes but like you know we know we know what to expect from fish um are we the Mitch canny no I'm not going the Raiders I've seen enough okay I've seen enough I love Ricky and I love the Raiders how they play but this I's run out of steam that one okay I'm I'm going Raiders okay I'm going to go Raiders with the start could just I'm going to shitty game up like that Saturday night Saturday afternoon 300 p.m. down at Cambra yeah yeah I'll go pen because you're going the Raiders you nearly talk me into it I'll take the n and a half I think is that the last last home game for the Raiders it would be yes it is yeah it is it's the last game and they're away the last couple still going Panthers yeah all right the next game L will just turn up yeah yeah that's what I'm looking forward to I'm really looking forward to seeing what's version of Drome cuz dr's done it now he's done it for origin he's done it through the mid part of the year now he gets Faith right like just say if he comes out and just puts penth on his back everyone will be like all right we're good yeah we're good until the prince comes back but we're in good hands and even if he doesn't we're still in good hands if penrith win and they any just win do you get worried as a Panthers fan against CRA because camra's [ __ ] good I agree they can get anyone on day I think penth fans might P thoughe C's got some some key plays out of dogs yeah they got some dogs in there too make it gritty interesting very gritty they're hard to back against and they're hard to back especially wheni too yeah and a Ricky spray can go STORM VS DOLPHINS anywhere uh storm vers Dolphins Saturday 5:30 p.m. this has got a lot of imp implications mate this is for the Dolphins they're basically fighting with the dragons for that eighth position and the storm um they win this they put themselves in a really good position to pick which round they rest their players for the final two rounds um there's been a lot of chat about that over the last couple of weeks as well because um there was chat around them resting plays with two weeks to go because of the travel from Melbourne all the way up to North Queensland rather than the Broncos I don't I'm not totally sure on that I'd prefer to wrestle on the last week just you know the 11-day protocol for H or whatever anyway tan wish has been named on the wing in place of gr Edison he's been really good he's entered the concussion protocol so far long has been added to the bench Christian Welsh is in the extended Squad he hasn't played in a minute yeah where's he been he did his hammy Cal he did a cal and he's missed some time with the c injury just the one change for the Dolphins yeah yeah getting old now be 30 wouldn't he 30 plus right on I Reon be right on 30 Mark Nichols back on Deck with Lan Hub hubner the the player to make way Jesse bromich will play game 337 which puts him in the top 10 most cap players of all time [ __ ] what a career what a player um what a great servant of the game and if you watch the Dolphins games there is not one part of you that watches the Dolphins games and goes that guy's played 3003 337 games as in he doesn't look like he's declining like if you look at the Sol 2010's best props in the game you're looking at Jesse bromage and you're probably looking at J dub I think so two kiwi boys yep in the 2010s uh yeah who else who else can we throwing there Sami played a little bit Sammy would be lock in my eyes or or to malolo too would definitely be lock yeah so Sam's got one of them Sammy could be just in a [ __ ] back row spot or something I don't know yeah put semi on the edge put put Sunny On The Edge or Bo Sunny's hard because he only played like two or three years in that in the 2010s where I look at Jess and go [ __ ] he was for about four or five years of those for the 2010s he was the [ __ ] man Premier front row was yeah I remember when I was playing for Newcastle and he was Melbourne I was like [ __ ] this kid's [ __ ] going to be mad footwork mad offload preline hits good wrestle good big minutes [ __ ] I I would argue that he wasn't probably a lead at anything but like an eight or nine out of 10 at everything you know what I mean you wouldn't go [ __ ] Jesse was going to run straight over me or through me but he'll smoke me with a bit of footwork and he'll beat me with football get me offload like line like he's like and do it with a smile on his face and not one bit of not one bit of anger never looked fatigue never got frustrated Kenny would get a little bit frustrated sometimes little would get little bro's getting pissed off out there not Jess yeah Jess one of the best props ever top 10 of all time don't sleep on him because he's not the most loudest personality or anything and he's been playing in Melbourne he's been tucked away and even now Dolphins bro like he's just not like that but you just look at the body of work you got to give guys like that their flowers man him and J dub yeah [ __ ] mate that'd be hard to beat yeah yeah that'd go down as um two the best props bro of all time y y I think um and you Chuck Ruben Wiki in there like Wiki could play back Ro and everything like in the middle but yeah I don't think they he yeah and he's captain in New Zealand he's done everything man Y what three premierships and just now they now now they're going to play Melbourne yuck what he's done 12 17 and 20 four Premiership so good one of top 10 all time that is crazy that is front row man yeah um dollar 18 Melbourne can Jesse bromich and the X Melbourne storm Trio Kenny and fiz upset Melbourne down in Melbourne $480 line is 15 a half it's probably the hardest task in rugby league right this year yeah it's proven really hard even when they've had games where they haven't looked that great they've still found a way down there Melbourne Mel got any injuries um gr Anderson but they've got papy they've got money they've got Jerome they all look like they're [ __ ] Keen to play that's what's scary just watching money like the first 25 minutes yeah run the ball y he just wants to take you on that's scary for me CU I didn't think it was going to happen till first round the semis because of his um his hips yeah but he's there he's there already so that's scary so Melbourne I'll go Melbourne yes that line is huge and I've sort of give Dolphins more I'm yeah [ __ ] it I'll take the I'll take the line 15 and a half as well I think the Dolphins can keep it close uh Rabbid o vers night Saturday 7 7:35 p.m. what I feel like SOUTHS VS NEWCASTLE that was going to sound wrong at a core Stadium this will be packed there'll be 50,000 to this game uh halfback Cody Walker is missing he'll miss the match he's replaced by Dean Hawkins in the number seven jersey Richie Canna is free to play after a successful trip to the Judiciary Tyron Monroe is amongst the reserves He's listed he's missed the entire season with a collarbone injury as for the knights Jack Coga takes over at 58 from Tyson gamble who broke his hand against the Sharks will price joins the bench Dylan Lucas returns after missing some weeks with the haming injury therefore deput Cole McCarthy who was pretty good um on the weekend he he miss goes back to the reserves um this is a tough carry this is backto back weeks we've got South Sydney at 7:30 p.m. on our day and I have watched about 10 to 15 minutes gone to sleep and watched tough watch this one the 60 Minutes in the morning um yeah awful game apologies to anyone that has to Newcastle be still thinking there's a glimmer of hope yeah yeah Dolphins lose dragons lose they just need to win they need to win by a bit and uh they need to just keep applying the pressure they' got a minus 90 differential though so not only do they need to win um need to win by 120 yeah yeah the dragons got awful differential as well so dolphins are in a really good spot you know they got to hope that the the the Sharks we'll talk about in a bit can beat the dragons and then the Dolphins can slide back up there yeah low game Knight should win Knight should win not surpris if s win Perfect all right on to the next uh the Titans versus The Roosters 2 p.m. at Cab Super Stadium bore and mo a TITANS VS ROOSTERS Waker are back on Deck so Clark and cleas go to the bench Winger alaana C Perera has scored eight tries in the past five games at C bus as for the roosters Ford leader Jared wara Hargraves is back from a 4 game ban so Spencer L revers back to the bench n butcher is back from a rib cut leage injury uh and he will fill the void left by Connor Watson this is Battle of the top Tri scorers so cerer is on 20 Dom Young's on 18 [ __ ] Dom young can get one can he Dom young is on the right side Pera is on the left side and you know what to say about Wingers Wingers score tries because Wingers are marking up on them so the too each I think just clear clear lines straight to the line I got camper finishing the week on 22 and I got Dom young finishing on 20 oh yeah I re that could that that could work out to a piece um as for this game uh the Titans they they've been deflated now um they're running out of steam yeah how do you see this one M yeah uh the roosters are really flexed got some good troops coming back they want to get a little bit of little bit of form get some good minutes little Flex they always s seem to beat up on the teams down the bottom too then they do they don't let up they don't let up like even last week against Parry they didn't let up they just come out bang straight on yep I can see that happening again I got the roosters uh minus 14 a half um the last game is St ST GEORGE VS CRONULLA George the battle of the South St George vers Kella uh $215 about the the dragons 70 about the Sharks just the one change from the side that beat The Titans with Raymond fatel marinina returning on the bench and last week's debutant lyen King Tong making way uh as for the Sharks huge in Bradon Trindle is back on Deck um so break Blake Bradley returns to Hooker cam M kin to lock kale Ido returns in the centers after missing last week's game while uh teag Wilton and Tom Hazelton they missed both last week with the virus they're back on Deck as well C and Center celi are both out for the Sharkies it's a hard game dragons got more to play for you'd think they'd come out sharks got a hold no top four spot huge game for the Sharks yeah but they're still in the top eight you know to make the finals is [ __ ] way more important than top four I reckon well to win the Grand Final you've got to be I know but like come on you got to make the eight everyone thought dragons was going to get the spoon this year
