across this Bulldog seagull on Friday night yeah 6:00 p.m. record crowd for a 600 p.m. game massive like seriously like the belmore's going nuts and and now we're seeing the proof of what a successful Bulldog side does to the competition uh now currently as of yesterday ticket sales were sitting between 30 and 35,000 for an aore Stadium game hello we know that's a bit of a struggle right 6:00 Friday night now and how many of them are manly well that's right buz they don't travel no flat out of a thousand imagine if imagine if the dogs were playing a well supported traveling team um now in order to break all record look it's probably going to break it's more than likely going to break any Friday night 6 p.m crowd record t and TV yeah you're right and the next challenge will be if they get above 41,000 it's the biggest crowd between a Bulldog mly game ever wow wow ever and that's the 95 Grand Final this is a sensational story guys The Rebirth of the Bulldog um and I and you know what I really hate the West tigers can do something similar in a few years mate those Street parties Moby and Dave just see the cops look they do you see they're now finding people for excessive horn bipping oh I didn't someone got a $400 ticket seriously exessive horn beeping and look you're a horn beeper yeah I yeah oh absolutely oh you'd been wck I had to bip someone today on the way in our grand parade cuz we were stopped at lights and the person in front of me was obviously on a phone cuz the rest of the cut so I just ham yeah yeah you're a horn Hammer there's always someone in Sydney will let you know that you can move along so are the cops being mean though or I know La completely over the top but you saw 400 bucks for for excessive horn bipping completely over the I saw it on social somewhere but when when the crowd the other week when they won uper bunder BG to all but you know all but secure that finals place and the fans flooded onto the streets of unbelievable you're 1200 K away your team's at and you've all jumped out that's yeah jeez wowers on a party yeah what a story so good um and you touched on the west Tigers Buzz I was out at lart last Friday night uh was it Friday Thursday night Thursday night against Manley against Manley and so here's a team that's challenging for The Wooden Spoon it's a Thursday night game again against Manley fans don't travel and the whole joint was packed yeah look imagine if they get it right the tiers you know bonehead old Club officials back in the80s didn't want one game a week so thought it would affect their crowds and cost them money right the TV now every game covered Manley you know that Manley Canal game in the last round Moby M it sold out 13 days in advance yeah wow jeez 13 days in advance y and just about mate the the game is Dead set I know we have our bunker crap and you know we we outrage and what you saying the blockers field goals and incon but mate TV's ratings and crowds it's so good what about this did you see the West Tigers put this out yesterday they sold out round 27 corporate hospitality is sold out at Campbell town oh that's cool ahead of the I think they've only got six weits up there yeah Rich iitable it's going to be at Campbell town especially if you're an ears fan but goes to your point is marketing tactic to prove that this is the reason we're going to combank well could be um but you know what and um we're going off TR track here I saw enough the last two weeks the West Tigers to think if they can get a front rower with some Le speed and a bit of Grant and mongr you know to replace Stefano I think it's been a bit disappointing anyway this year I honestly think not sure they'll make the eight next year but I'm sure they're going to be thereabouts we've been saying that for years yeah oh but mate L mate they I'm telling you L will make a massive difference massive we had it on the Telly website yesterday but Roy hunel sign there he's gone he'll go there for he'll go there for 3 years he had a bigger engine yeah your spot on yeah yeah and and tiger fans look like he's a good signing for you but you're going to have to get more minutes out of him than 23 minutes a game yeah that's what he's got um they're good 23 minutes yeah can can I throw something else at you Cory hsbor touring West Tigers facilities hbro and Royce hunt have a little bit of History imagine them in the same imagine they in the same team good I'd love to be there for that first can I use can I use that much the buzz this week potential Conflict for Beni to deal with yeah perfect imine that get an old photo out of their stink thank you Adam you're right doesn't matter that all our listeners have already heard it develop platforms Mate different platform different platforms yeah multiplatform but so anyway we were talking about acore record crowds and here we are ding about the West only CU you pulled the sell outs on out well I think you'd deviated of course before that but um big game because look I'm not saying that this is going to happen because the Panthers play the rabbit o and tight in the final two rounds it's not going to spark fear in anyone but they're just they're a little off at the moment penth and cany it's a million to one to happen but if canbury keep winning there's a top four spot there potential but and if they beat Manley this week they lock in a home final week one of the finals yeah elimination final and you'll be playing whether you finish uh fifth or sixth doesn't matter you'll be playing the eighth place team could it be the Broncos could it be the do the drag or is it going to be Queensland or potentially Manley again I don't mind Crystal balling mobs but jez I just struggle to see how the Panthers get beat by souths you know like hey I wouldn't have seen the Raiders beating Panthers either but you would think there's a response in penth now like that was that's pretty pretty much a wakeup call to penth they bet man they're they're an incredible outfit and they were disappointing oh they were they were very ordinary but clear when's clear back week one of the finals they w't bring no that's the claim yeah yeah that's what they tell you I wonder if that's right yeah no it's a big story big story you go back three comps of almost impossible in this era but four wow what's next up from impossible I don't know but you go back those few weeks before Buzz they were neck and neck with Newcastle and then Nathan clearly put them to the sword um happened with parata they needed it against the Dolphins clearly keep that 40 yeah Dophin almost got him you're right funny you talking about Newcastle I think they'll make the eight you reckon yes I heard you at the start of the week I thought that was a two sofish home games and they're unbeatable on Old Boys day last round and even if St George win one of their last two um Knights get them un for and against their 50 head right so who have they got this week nights Titans this week then Dolphins M on Old Boys day and they were six bucks six bucks is a big price how do you know that cuz I looked up the odds oh I went on radio sorry for doing my radio thre thought I thought you thought you might have opened the wallet that's all no no I don't bet on footy or anything as you know but um I I I looked at up to see if I was wrong and think cuz the boogies are smart but they've got some George at something like a $150 and I don't have faith in the night's Buzz I saw your column last week was very very heavy was it yeah it was was any issues with it factually incorrect or no it was a heavy spray oh okay right you you don't think six head you don't there's someone up there you don't cop and they last time you on this podcast I had to deal with you over the Maguire Feud match yeah well we passed that up I know you did yeah your this time we had a great origin series you don't like Phill Garder do well he he's a he's he's an outstanding businessman and he he's hugely successful at running leagues clubs yes but he has churned through six recruitment managers in 5 years as I've always said about him in the entertainment IND industry with poer machines and the bestro with a good snitel and B and you know one of those Stakes you get it clubs and Chinese restaurant there's a good one at West Chinese yeah um he's a grade yep outstanding but he's proven nothing on the as far as a football C and I don't think he's handed control of the club to Peter P which he should have done yeah yeah look there's there's more there's more storms coming for that club postseason with the roster 100% there is oh well they're tapping people aren't they yeah yeah and there we gone to Newcastle what were we talking about fals well oh that's right you got us well no you were on track you said they'd make the eight this we're talking finals they starting to talk about Gard Buzz a second buz just just on the Schnitzel right you like the gravy on top or not absolutely now you're getting off track sorry you a steady man I just got hungry love one yeah just got hungry I like a parmesana well they do a really nice one at a pub out um out my way and um Mark and his young bloke the Pioneer and they what do they charge oh I think they're about 25 for a py but you can get the Toppers and there's special toppings on there mg Mark guy and his young L MAV have both got one named after him and oh wow yeah very nice very nice the Pioneer is a bit of an institution out there isn't it yeah is it it's a good joint is that your local uh no the golf club's my local is it yeah yeah but I like that one I love a snitty yeah gravy on top see anyway you were saying before rugby you two are going pretty good than cheers I'll tell you something you're on the bench for sure the sure the other op that's fine I'll take a bench cook you're first up I've already secured a secured a position you're going better than I thought Daniel Atkinson I'm the Daniel Atkinson of this yeah Buzzy you were saying before about how The Bookies rarely get it wrong and even before Craig bellam his presser on Monday they had North Queensland very short and the Storm at quite a price for this Thursday night's game yes because of the intimation that they'd be resting players they went ahead and did that they've rested 11 guys so they they'll run out against the Cowboys in Townsville without Essie Cawa Harry Grant Jack howth Jerome Hughes Josh King Nelson asopa solomona Nick meany sha bla TR liero Tui kamaka and will wrick now this is the storm did this last year and ran 27 against the Broncos and got them up there cuz they always have good record against the Broncos at sunp um you've got an issue with the resting policy Buzz I don't like it no um look and I I know they uh they're here to win a Premiership but when I turn the TV on I don't like watching Reserve grade sides and and I'm not saying the players are Reserve graders right because they've obviously got a lot of talent there but what I'm saying is it's normally their Sunshine Coast side and we're not getting value for our FK subscriptions and I mentioned you know the regional area and the Outback areas they come from Cowboys fans to you know and I I know they're more likely to win they'll be happy when I go down to Shark Park I go down to watch you know people like ponga play when Newcastle in town or when the Panthers are there mate I wanted to see edwood's live and see speed and clear and Loui and yeah Buzz there'll be a player tonight that you haven't watched before that you go oh jeez he's a good player he could play NRL in the future you will you will you saw it with I'm not as interested in the game d honestly you saw it with s far Longo last year yeah yeah and buz there's a reason why the NRL is considering bringing back the NYC competition because we enjoy looking at the next gen players coming through well I'll tell you who and that's what we're going to get tonight we'll see a few storm players that we haven't seen before yeah three debutants in that list they Buzzy all on the bench you're saying this but I like watching Grant Playmate yeah you'll get to see him he'll he'll play finals yeah yeah I I like Hughes and Hughes now we're going to get to it in a while might cost him the Del am yeah good point um I I honestly whenever I turn the TV I want to see Superstars that's what attracts me to regue look I disagree with you because of most do because of the weight of the Premiership and that's what they that's what the goal is yeah I'll tell you what there's more pressure on the cowboys tonight than the storm seriously if the Cowboys are serious about winning the comp they have to roll through a Storm sword minus 11 starting players have to how do you feel Dave if you're Manley who are in seventh taking and then you're watching six Place North Queensland play the minor Premier oh you'd be gut in waiting with out 11 players well you yeah I mean you'd be GED uh you know in at this point but you'd be hoping that the storm can find an upset but manly paying the penalty as they should for that crap game at Lut last week and the games they've shown they've been so soft in so many games they should be high in the ladder that side on paper is nearly a top four side yeah they weren't in my top eight oh I had him in the four yeah not for me I mean turbo Turbo what about turbo against the Tigers he was he was mly that was it yeah yeah he looked like man against has gone off a little bit hasn't he since TCU little bit low for well it's got to be on your halves to guide that team to Victory but our three 19y olds the Tigers got the job done against DC Brooks and trovich was ridiculous that's why I don't feel sorry for Manley this week yeah Fair Point hey there's a little tip around um that the paps pen might play a bit of halfback tonight and fair longer to fullback so yeah right well cuz they named GR who's an outside back in the seven jersey so I thought that was interesting they've got um keep an eye on Keegan Russell Smith Panthers junor who's been coming through the ranks Melbourne picked him up when they you know they kicked off a couple years ago with their pathway system they brought a heap of players from other clubs and they've got a couple of victorians coming through but good Panthers kids so I Reon was he a chef was there a chef Peter Russell someone Peter Russell Clark have you seen the outakes on some of his recipes on he's a big fell say get get yeah with the beard pet get a Russell get a Clark that's how it went yeah that was the jingle well that's when I saw the Russell I think Fletch and um Hardy did a did A P Russell Clark bit of a piss take thing yeah right well you have a look on YouTube there's some bloopers where he swears like a sailor cuz he keeps that is hilarious I've seen that very good Google Peter Russell Clark swearing I heard Tyron wish out on uh scn when I was in the car yesterday being interviewed for their Drive show and he spoke a little bit about this fell but Tyran Smith is such a uh Wishard is such a good talker is he is he he J was a good interview they had him on half an hour it just kept going it was really good I said to St George aaar power Brokers the other day yeah how how the hell do they not get tyan wiard back to his home Club seriously they're let him go I get it like particular with Ben Hunt going and play salary Cap's your salary cap at the time and he and and the kid wants a pathway through the NRL but now has he got a p get just getting back seriously he's filling in he's he's named it hooker this week he can play he play on the wing he's a really Lively smart player and intelligent football AB Buzz so yeah yeah you know but this is the thing this is the storm side that's got so far logo on the wing they sometimes they can't fit him into the 17 and it's a funny thing we think the storm are resting players and then therefore rolling the arm over tonight but try and tell Tyron Wishard no to to run soft yeah you know I just love them at full strength as Club yes I really do and I tell you who I'm a massive fan of and I reckon he'll play origin the next two years is Jack howth oh yeah in the Sanders he he's a late bloomer isn't hez huge boom on him and then he went J's tough yeah he's like SW he and Kon and those sort of BLS he's made he's a very good player they didn't rush him they he took a bit of time in cup in host plus cup up in Queensland Cup last season and he only got that one inrl game is in queenslander I presume yeah and they rested that in round 27 last year got that little nod and he'd flick between Center and back row and he I think he had a bit of trouble with his defense and you look at him now and wow it's the reason they had him on that 5year deal on good money physical too I heard Craig Bellamy talk about him about four weeks ago right and the question was asked you know why is Jack howth now here in the NRL like why has it taking so long and Craig couldn't have been more honest and he said Jack decided to be an NRL trainer and did he train like an NRL player and Craig was emanating that that in SE preseason gone by just wasn't willing to put the work in yeah I told this story the other week that when I went down did that Monster interview and he came clean and got everything off his chest about his horrible gambling problems and Grog and um Melbourne have a rule when you walk into their um football office if you don't know someone you got to go walk over and introduce yourself and say hi so first off oh good day I'm tan wish out then next break comes good day I'm Jackie Al I'll never forget it yeah yeah yeah that's cool yeah it's great that's culture for you though isn't it that's culture building mate M I was at the fights last night and there were a couple of snarly South Syne he plays and I I don't have the name but it just shows you don't have to be like that no the sharks are when I say snarly Jack whon was great he went out said good day had a nice he's a champion BL Jack whon absolutely absolutely the sharks have got a similar handshake policy down at grala yeah again if they see some anyone or you know for the first time in the day they have to go shake their hand yeah very quick so I know we haven't got to the other thing I love about Melbourne storm their team song at the end of a game includes all the physios yeah all the office seen massive Circle massive Circle it's like to be honest yeah but they're not just a footy team they're a footy Club CL yeah and mate Roy Masters gets in the Huddle now Roy Works her opposition but he's very close to belly a he's a storm stor wart and it's it's something might be worth a yarn Dave yeah we get a picture of still but let's go through an idea yeah sure mate good idea yep I like it yeah um anyway so what we talking about before you d what talking have I have I pushed into the starting side yet my this is that shark's handshake policy was that's nice touch that's a nice touch yeah background listeners like background just got to get wardrobe on you so you don't clash with the the main man can you you can you shrink your head a bit yeah yeah sorry that was very good oh dear just have a look at the ratings when I'm not here oh you jous uh so on on the back of the storm so they're resting guys this week which makes you think they're going to roll them out the following week which is bad news for the Broncos and Kevin Walters but they first have to get through the Dolphins on Saturday afternoon Saturday 5:30 what a game that's with so much on the line Wayne Bennett's last Queensland Derby well unless he takes on some uh Queensland expansion team as an 80-year-old in 2030 who knows was he at this house board meeting over was [Laughter] he it's interesting um I always look at the comments and the readers and there wasn't too much disagreement to the piece I wrote about him s of double dipping yeah but look the proof's there isn't it yeah nine losses he has yeah nine out of 12 great game of 4 though isn't it that not just the Battle of brisbane's always a great game but with so much hanging on at both clubs you yeah massive any male on pain har were the were the real play mobs he's trained he's trained really well progressively this week he's got the foot problem obviously um and what's today Thursday he'll have a tomorrow's the day for him he joined the main group of the train of the Broncos training session yesterday and that's always a good sign when you when you join the main group and so he basically only needs to get through tomorrow's training session and he'll play I reckon he comes in and and and gets you got to think how many minutes he'll get though so correct it won't be massive and look just his presence so means so yeah the Broncos you know 160 down against parah last week didn't look great fought their way back into it as a team that's you know just lacking star power the Dolphins on the other hand they've been very underwhelming as well I I can't see the dolphins making the eight but then again 6 weeks ago I wrote off the Broncos the only reason I wrote that story on M was the score line the other day 486 it was a thumping not a it was and it sort of made me and Bennett coat sides four weeks that they've average 38 points defense which is buz one of the uh one one of the opposing views I'd like to throw at you is this last year when the West Tigers were going ordinary we decided no we didn't decide we were our our research showed us and our calls to the West Tigers showed us that Benji Marshall was doing a lot of the coaching anyway right and Tim Sheen was taking a back seat yep would you not argue that Christian wolf is already got his hands on the wheel in preparation for next year and Wayne has taken a back seat and therefore well if Wayne's taking a back seat with a final position on the line it's a oh come it is it is a scandal it I didn't say it I pulled up mate it's a scandal if he's taking a back suat when he's I think that's a bit M like it's possible it's possible well that's what we here for debate and I understand what you're saying but so what I'm saying is it doesn't a go too well for Christian and and I me I think he's he's got a huge future as a coach yeah look he's got a good CV already wolfy you know but stand myself down after that I didn't say it did I no well we'll go back check the T we can we can fix this in post maybe why don't we just wake an hour rating on [Laughter] it can't believe that slipped this is like J graes this is what I do well they threw me off with the curve ball couple weeks out from the finals you you make a little mistake you go a little high yeah yeah this is hard graes yeah this is the no I I don't think Wayne should clock off I think he should be you know having said that I think way these days his strength is a man manager football club wies out did you see him putting the chairs out in the sheds that was great 4AGE wasn't it what about that so for those that didn't see it um there's the white plastic chairs are off to the side with the dolphins covers on them and while wolfy and the players are out doing the warm-ups Wayne's just taking the chairs out him in the CLE yeah yeah probably he's just probably the chair the chairs he's the chair guy now I think we should move on if we start talk about him preparing a you reckon he brought his own chairs like baz to main oh W yeah what he's a different dude in sheds isn't he I remember lart his favorite restaurant's Grappa where we sprung in you know during Co so you get down the sheds after a lart game and Charlie from grapp is delivering all these takeway Shanks for the place it's he's such a different dude sh Dave we didn't get your pick on who's going to buzzers thinks the knights are going to get there who's going to finish eighth um I've got to admit boys I haven't I'm not I'm not one of these crystal ball dissecting people on we've seen we've seen your predictions man we've been um I think Saints can I think Saints can survive I really do I think they get the points against param I'm not sure they will mate no no too much to play for Buzz really from from a redv point of view if they cannot find 80 minutes here he beenen hunt going bad yeah I I think there's the you are Saints fans that watch that guy watch the dragons closely and they'll tell you that he hasn't been lights out all year no player of the year will be interesting or at say Zack L right Zack but then who's who's just below that yeah it I went back and watched that game because I just thought I'd just try and pick out where things fell apart but there was just I can see why flano pulls his hair out because Yeah Carl Flanigan had nearly run second you know I think he will I think you're right because you know tyell Sloan shows glimpses of being that guy and of and Flo's challenged him to you know pretty publicly at times to put your body on the line and that kind of stuff you see Will Kennedy jump over the top of him for that try both F Brothers missed really bad 10 of ones um that let there's 18 points there you lose by 28 and there's a good bad good dragons and a very bad dragons and what's what's concerning about Sim and that will Kennedy tries the sharks tried it in the first half and they just missed it coming through and they they saw just a big enough [ __ ] in sl's arm I just went let's just do it again Y and we'll get it and that's a worry I honestly think par up beat them yeah right well look so for me Saints get there if can I reserve my judgment until after yeah yeah well until after it's all locked in yeah basically two weeks time that be good nice um so what do you make a par with the news that they've resigned Jermaine Hopwood now who's their lock forward they've signed isai yongi there's talk about gotho playing a bit of a robing forward role me play full back well potentially come and F I think it's forward planning I don't think it's locked in stone that that the kid just gets the fullback jumper I just can't see how that unfolds given guth's history at the club um but I think it's a it's definitely part of the longer terms gtho will move out of fullback his body's not the same the miles are starting to take their toll on his legs um so you put him in the middle in the front in the front line of defense I don't know it's either Center or for me be one of the big stories for next year the yeah Ry can only take him one way can't he yeah um I was talking to the eels yesterday there's been all that speculation about Ryan Madison's future they they believe he he'll just be part of the roster now next year wasn't able to secure another deal elsewhere stays the big that'll move willby regge still waiting for him to get that deal done elsewhere and the other one is micho we might see a bit of movement around sio maybe moving on at the end of the year Super League or potentially yeah yeah so keeping on that one yeah yeah was it unable to move for him to get a place elsewhere Madison or was he just taking up the options and not too Keen to leave is that he's going from BL that was potentially tapped to now we want you or is well yeah I think the case of it is is if you can find a club go for your life yeah if not you're here with us and that's where it sits yeah we Trev well I got to ask you these questions cuz Dave doesn't like doing predictions but um d m's coming up soon busy yeah Del M's um I'm going to give you a uh what what do you call the top four first four now not a quadrella it's a first four first four um in no particular order I'll have Jerome Hughes on top I'll have Steven kryon at second I'll have Angus kryon at third the brothers yeah nice and I'll have um James sedesco fourth yeah that's that's that's solid bus with Zach LX if you want a fifth tell you what it's I think last year proved it's so bloody hard to pick because you can now get a maximum six points each each game so you can really fly that leaderboard Deo when that when that happens so Happ to dance down the delam rookie path for you Moby okay um now this is this is this is probably something the game needs to look at because Loy Galvin is home and hosed in everyone's eyes as the best Rookie of 2024 um however he's he can't win it due to a two- match suspension um Daniel ainson uh is is eliminated due to the fact that he played his first game 3 years ago you need to play your your back-to-back games within two years not three so for me it's Ethan strange down at the Raiders yep um other contenders up blaz dely Jack bostok at the Dolphins bost's been good and K at the sharks so but Ethan strange for me you me halfway through the year we're going this gu's a few some people were saying let's throw him in the Blues team yeah is he off the is he crook now or is he playing this week I understand he's a chance next week so just a couple of week two weeker so yeah wouldn't be out of place would he oh what what a talent but yeah I agree they've got to they've got to adjust it cuz he's he should be Rookie of the Year you know I is anyone going to look back and go oh well he had that two game suspension he doesn't doesn't deserve it he getop oh yeah you know I don't think that should take away from your of the Year belly a in a photo from uh Ser Dead Set pH FL just behind yeah so what's next all right we're moving on to listener questions but because MC is not on Deck today what about him brushing us didn't want to be involved didn't didn't contact me no well can you mark that against him when you're doing your ratings next week I've thought about it and if I can't separate Ricky o and car Anis and Reed I might put an extra chair in oh all right well oh splinters eh well I might let Rudy do the first 20 get his recipe out then bring Mick in he we got a finish with recipe so re's got to be your finisher in that regard yeah right um so listen to questions these are two in the same so Ramon and Brett both talking about gotho to the dragons is that gaining traction um and is he a long-term half solution for the dragons would he play six um no he's staying at parah Ross has told him he wants him so yeah unlikely look you can never say it for certain but looks like Ross does want him yeah well you're thinking he's he'd be 31 by the time he'd looked to join the dragons after his current contract um goes back to your point before Dave tyan wishart yeah yeah yeah I mean the dragons would have to be careful for everything we spoke about gff's body his age and how much he gonna pay him to get him there um jonty wants to know do you think flano will get an extension in the offseason uh in the offseason which Carl or Shane Shane I assume it's Shane it's Shane H in the offseason signed through didn't he yeah probably doesn't need to happen does it no no well it probably doesn't does it she should wish that idea is good well these are fine you know what Melbourne are like penr they cannot keep everyone yeah so St George should blow them out of the park MoneyWise I wish AR should be it in the in red and white yeah I like it Matthew wants to know that the TV coverage is use drones for a couple of games this season could they potentially be used to review on side and dare I say forward passes jeez well what's a good idea yeah yeah it's it's not a bad idea to slow the game down you have to do a quick graphic and you know have set squares and all these things um I just wish the touchies had get I just wish they' do something it's all they got to do that sharks try at the weekend that was contentious that touchy was a a touch could you I could because they have you have you got your referees ticket no I I had a Junior League one years ago did you did you run the line sorry did you run the line I run the line junior football yeah yeah yeah absolutely I did what about giv him back to the great game did you run in on from the side I was very overweight at the time struggled with Fitness um oh here comes Phil again what does he want can I just digress go on what do you can I just I hate you starting something like that only only the fact you talked about um you know Junior fo what not what about Dave's effort last Sunday on his day off a story video with shk SH Steve talking about that horrible stabbing I thought about when he did that and was great and I thought about the life of rugby league we do have the best ever jobs yeah but you never get a day off no no I I honestly didn't think driving to my son's Junior League game preliminary final uh mind you we won 1412 off to the GF we go this week I saw youy yourself into the Tom photo what this is this is what do you do I'm Chief water boy oh yeah right and M my carry of water is next they get through it while you're in Paris that must have been tough there was a couple of scratchy victories there um but you're right I didn't think I'd be involved in such a horrific um story not involved but being able to um yeah very proud of Steve Ma and his son Cooper and every all the other First Responders horrible absolutely yeah heroic yeah that's it we throw that word around a lot but that was just amazing you know the detail of what they did um yeah but I just thought that was worth a shout out do you like that are you okay with that good journalism yeah good journalism Adam um Cory JB wants to know if the under 20s comp came back comes back would you tweak the rules to have a little more emphasis around defense uh because of the hot massive School La that we saw when we when we last watch the NYC I don't think so no I mean does it have we seen an impact of the of the NYC back in the day did we see an impact that that filtered into the NRL no they're just adjusted to the NRL system yeah I don't think it needs changing no I just want to say good young talent and you see you see players young kids in reserve grade these days you know or just the Jack howth mentioned um young players learning how to defend against grown men Learning Systems you know outside shoulder footwork everything else so there's the pathway is there for it uh Cleopatra if hindes misses this week and the shark smash the warriors with ainson and Trindle should they rest him against Manley next week rather than play him well I think he plays so sorry Cleopatra I I don't think your question holds water uh I think hindes will get there this weekend guys and I think it's I think it's all part of a strategy and and I I think if the Sharks believe they're going to go deep into the finals they actually need niik playing 80 minutes this week and 80 minutes next week so he goes in with full confidence and timing um you know match Fitness the soreness of making tackles not half coming off the bench this week can I ask you a question it's 10 or minute to go yeah you know the field goal does Nick good or trenle or rinson yeah right but yeah look I'd like to think H I'd like to think hin can get it done Buzz yeah but it' be interesting i' tell you why I asked cuz the mental scars of you know some misses the sideline conversion which was a really tough kick who was that against at the end yep you remember on a dolphins dolphins yeah um and some yeah I'm with you yeah be interesting I hope they have some options one of the best field goals I ever saw was Latrell kick one down in Melbourne Kon was standing on the right Latrell was on the left everyone was waiting to go to that a beauty yeah nearly kicked out of the stadium yeah yeah um Mick's got some email questions here from Brendan first listening to the podcast about the Immortals it was mentioned that to be considered players should have dominated all three levels of the game with this in mind I always wonder why Lori Daly isn't talked about more in these conversations he obviously had a great career with CRA but also dominated for the Blues in CPP three Series wins in a row culmin culminating in that 94 win over Queensland team playing for uh playing against M his final series do you think the Super League War has impacted his Legacy L yeah no I don't um lry was a champion right but yeah you know so was Brett Kenny so was Ricky so was Alfie and it's so so exclusive the club and sadly the Champions there they just miss out and it's interesting that guy's question though because Wally Lewis and probably because of the stage of his career didn't make it in The N he you know but winning yeah to judge him on the it is yeah you're right your thoughts DAV uh no I agree I mean he's a champion and I don't think I don't think the Super League War did anything I mean you could you could make a case for a whole host of players that were actually involved in super war that have now kicked on to be part of the Hall of Fame and Immortals if there was a club between Hall of Fame and Immortals there'd be some great place you could ho in there yeah do you know what I mean the next anyway I know Matthew's got one the idea is instead of a 10-minute sin bin we bring in a sin bin based on laps we work out the average time a player takes to do a lap at full Pace then when a player doesn't accidental head high he might get eight laps he and his team have to decide if he's going to Sprint it for eight laps get back on the field but he's bugged or he does it at a slower Pace his team might be in attack at part of the laps and return with more energy yeah good Matthew is it yeah Matthew Matthew's got a lot of time on his hands any advice for Matthew bu no I don't want to insult Matthew oh I love that that's that's an old Secret look after your customers and he's a good customer Matthew but that's a very bad idea there'd be some very unfit footballers if they get marched to how many laps you could get done yeah you wouldn't be like a hamiso getting 10 in the bin cuz oh my cuz I'm on my Junior League um bandwagon at the moment right can the Junior League please seriously look at reducing the 10 minute sin bin for for Junior League players the game only goes for 40 minutes don't just adopt an NRL Rule and put 10 minutes into a 40-minute game this isn't help when him come back for finals now make turn it into 5 minutes instead of 10 New South Wales rugby league CEO Dave TR and I'm talking to you can I remind you this is an NRL podcast you might just lost a seat for the listeners listeners out there uh League J uh Junior League parents listening to this podcast listening I know you have I have your support don't listen to buzz he he is a great Ambassador for Junior League with all your wash out stuff and it was good thanks very good um I'm glad he might have cost himself a spot there I'm backing with a hope this is nice um we're going to finish off with Harry who says having a look at the 2020 Grand Final teams the storm have had a turnover of 12 players from that side more than penth have had that team had a bench of Hines fuken Vil malari and Brandon Smith consider the roster he has in 24 is this season Bellamy's greatest coaching achievement it's a good yarn buz blood what a good question who was that from mate that's from Harry I tell you Harry should go knock on Matthew's door they should yeah and they should just spend some time together Harry can Council Matt on how to send a question in St we should go and have a look at that team and yeah that's great is it his greatest coaching achievement well the Premiership determine that yeah but it's bloody good isn't it but you how many points clear are they of six aren they or four or six they're against the team that's one and I don't know it's obviously hard for penth to back up and back up and back up but you know I'm a massive believer and I know we got to wrap it up a massive believer in the Melbourne storm have a major advantage over the rest of the competition by their location and I mean the fact that they can train in isolation without cameras don't really train in isolation they don't have they've got a very open field down there they don't have a sea of cameras a sea of joural the constant press in belly a face yeah even the fell the edge 40 got into trouble this week and I yeah but the fact he was down there no one picked up on it exactly yeah I'll tell you the secret to their success is Paul bun the head a recruitment yeah oh I've got some breaking news the NL has made a final determination following an Integrity unit investigation into the actions of South Sydney rabbit o player Latrell Mitchell the NRL can confirm that Mitchell will be suspended for one match with a $220,000 fine and required to undertake appropriate training education and Remediation um so the particulars of the breach notice were the mitual featured in imagery which emerged publicly on August 12 uh August 12 that depicted him acting in a manner which has brought the game into disrepute the suspension is to be served once the player is fit and available to return from injury I Reon he's making a comeback next week they've already put a line through him he missed training he didn't train today well Ben horby said the other way he's missed a week of training he he's not playing the rest of he will make a miraculous comeback I want to watch him train then I want to see this yeah let's put a camera down there at heon Park y see if we can get one out there thoughts on that that disciplinary action um is is pretty much on par with with similar offenses of this category from the NRL so it doesn't really surprise and this is what basically you know R and the guys at the team here at the till have been reporting that it will be a one match ban in 20 grand F the interesting thing is you know s got to make a statement here agree buz so what what does that s statement look like for you guys well I'd be going a Maj of fine and a last warning with a clause in there that it's all over if you step out of line to this extent ever again yeah agree this is what five years he's had now at South yeah my concern is the number of games he's playing yeah and it's not enough for the for the salary that he's on it's a very very good point well that bit of breaking news to wind up yeah good journalism
