[Music] and now the end is near and so they face the final curtain well Tommy Burgess and Damen cook certainly did it their way welcome to marra at the rabbito center for the final Captain's run and you might be wondering who that bloke is there that is legendary trainer Les bridge in with the family and I just had a chat to him before and I also just walked in and bumped into the great man Ron cot so there's a legend here here in the crowd there's legends about to come out as you can see the boys have not appeared yet but there is a massive crowd in here today I will just spin you around and show you this is the biggest crowd of the year for the biggest finale of the year there's Bridget my 58 here and the members of the burrow Michelle Pierre's in little hoods are here and you a few staff up there they on the balcony and few of the families are in um but yeah they did say 9:30 and we're all waiting for them but haven't appeared as yet it's an overcast morning here in Sydney so it's a quite appropriate really it's a little bit gloomy but it's still nice and warm and as the plane goes over so I just sort of come on nice and early and obviously we're going to celebrate two Club Legends that are leaving today Tom Burgess will be playing his 249th game for the club and Damen cook 207 so a lot of you would have saw the other day that I asked cookie what he's doing once he leaves and he's was adamant that he is going to return which is great news really for the club um yeah and welcome to who everyone who is live chatting uh we'll have a look at that we've got of course we've got Karina harer in there I know Dave Morton's here somewhere he's I saw him walk in before um you know a lot of the regulars are here today and a lot of new faces that might have decided to come in and check out the the final Captain's run it's a sad day for for the club and we're losing two guys that have been here for a long time and a lot of the younger fans wouldn't even remember a time when there was no Damen cook or Thomas Burgess and there's a is not going anywhere Keon Kal Matangi and he's just gone over to see some family members or someone over there Keon um yeah and someone's phone ringing there but um yeah Le Les brid I've got in the frame a lot of you younger fans might not remember him over but he trained the Melbourne Cup winner in 1987 called Kenai and it had the red and green colors on because he's a mad sou fan he knew Clive Churchill thanks very much Clive Churchill took into his first game of footy and he donated those colors to the club the red and green silks of the great Kenai and he's been around for a long time Les and he not only trained the 1987 Melbourne Cup winner he also just trained the Doncaster winner so a long time later he's still getting the job done he just trained two group One winners this year um now here's another here's a BL just put his head out Richie Kenna and there are a few Milestones today Richie Kenner is playing his 50th NRL game sha KY playing his 100th NRL game and Lea havil 150 so a few Milestones but it is being overshadowed by the two great rabbit o that are leaving you know Damen cook what great service he's given to this club like I said 207 games but he's also played 1 Origins he's played test for Australia the bl's done everything in the game he can do it all and K just gets a ball out for the young young one there he's talking to so at the moment he's the only rabbit we've seen But welcome to bunes TV we are brought to you by the Juniors group of clubs the Juniors Kingsford the Juniors marbra and the Juniors Malibar we're proudly supported by George's cameras and you're watching this on our Canon camcar with thanks to george.com com.au and all your it needs are sorted out by SE q.c.

so we we went on a bit early and apologies to anyone who's expecting to see the rabbito out yet they're taking their time and probably no surprise they're no doubt having a meeting and uh saying their farewells and there's might be already some tears shed but um yeah I I we have a look at the live chat in a sec cuz there's we got some time I'll just take you around again and show you the crowd we have got a big crowd in here some media that are lined up and um you know there's you know probably maybe a couple hundred people here that have come to watch this day and it has been a a season to forget here at Mar rubra but hey we're still the mighty rabitos and we can only hope that next year's better I'm sure it will be once we get some troops back on the field um Les Bridge was just talking to him about it he said when you become a sou supporter it's like a life sentence let me take you over here we got some fans over here in a great spot see this is where you can watch from at the at the hefron center there's four fans that have come for the captain's run and they've got a good spot there because the boys run over there and they'll be running straight past them over there that looks like goo over there which you gon I think but anyway um all right so let me just have a look at the live chat while we're waiting hang on here comes the first BL out and that's uh Thomas Fletcher shout out to Dad Nikki bird so Tommy Fletch he's had a horrible season with injury and you know he he might well have played first grade this year if he didn't get that injury but unfortunately he did another Blake in that category is Ben L who broke his league in the Grand Final last year and hasn't played a game all year but the club has stuck with him for a good reason because he is a gun and he'll be back in 2025 along with a whole lot of others that will be back and so I'm just going to bring up the live chat now cuz we're still waiting and thank start go you probably just heard that there so we have got some of our regulars Karina haa David Morton Ned Kelly's in there said good moo and chat great to see Les there great trainer better better bloke well he absolutely is a great bloke and we'll go back around to the the great man because the rabbit have still not come out um CarX is in there very much the same feelings about cookie as I as I did when bully did the same at the end of his career wish him all the best yeah so bully Luke left in 2015 and then Damen cook came in 2016 so yeah fans longtime fans will remember that feeling and it it is tough but you know where one door closes another one opens and you know Pete mammel could be the man Oscar McMillan's in there said either berryman's debuting um I can't answer that one mate um Ro Rory Herman said is that Dan McMillan I'm not sure Darren Finley's in there um and he said he's seeing if Latrell trains well I I don't know if he if he's going to train he might be out here he was on the bike here on Tuesday uh CES pay said good day moo hello mate how are you Craig banks in there he said is Cody training well let's have a look so there might be a little injury crowd little injury Cloud over Cody we've heard that little rumor Craig crumlin says Yama Cara bges Yama Cara is greeting and bides his friends in namia NAA language oh that's a bit of a tongue twist to mate but yeah I can let's uh yeah good question um and there's Michelle from Global Mouse travel who's just given us $79.99 in the chat you are an absolute Legend Michelle love you um I'm sure you're going to be there tomorrow night so it's going to be an emotional time and emotional for for the cheny family because they are very close to Damian um I know that here's Phil I've just talking about Michelle where they sit and Phil sits with him there on the sideline at aor stadium so it is going to be a big game the last game for Damen cook and Thomas Burg is out there at AO Stadium at 8:00 and two Club Legends are going who have done it all in the game and they're still not out here if anyone's just joined us we we're still waiting there's a big crowd in um including Phil I got to come around and see Phil cuz Phil show us that shirt you got on there mate look at that that's a that's a cracker so um loud and proud rabbito and you've been sitting on the halfway line with the chi family for decades almost almost decades yeah yeah and you'll be there tomorrow night may all be there can't miss it yeah yep it's going to be big and um you know a sad night it is you know and I like I was just saying nla and Michelle are very close to to Daman yes that's right but also um Thomas has been at the club even longer and he's a legend too yeah yeah so it's yeah d i remember I was there D give his jersey to Nala to Nala yeah well he did the week that we had Mike's funeral yeah yeah so that was one of the moments we'll always remember is when uh Michael cheny passed away um cookie went into the after the game went up to nler and handed him his uh his jersey and we'll never forget that that's the sort of Blake he is y's a great man he's a great man and we will never forget those sort of gestures with the fans and how close he's become with this rabbito community he'll always be a rabbito and same with Tommy Tommy would do anything for anyone he's never shied away from coming over here with the fans and having a chat and shaking hands he's just a very approachable sort of BL big Tommy isn't he yeah is mate yeah y yep so well mate I'm glad you come up the end of an era really isn't it the last of our burges it absolutely is the end of an era um and David Morton said his car is here so he knows that so is the trail watch is he's definitely here and there's Michael from the rabbit o he's come out so um we're still looking for some players to come out they're making us all wait but I'm sure the people here that are watching this live stream are glad that they're here for this monumentous occasion it is the last Captain's Run for the team but more importantly it's the last Captain's run for cookie and Tommy who are like I said Club Legends there is a big milestone for havili and with 150 games and key with 100 games and also which you can a 50 games but it's going to be all about Tom you know he came over he was the last one to come here and he's the last one to stay to leave you've heard the stories but you know he came over he played played 45 games with Bradford in the Super League came over here and we weren't sure what we were going to get but we know what we've got now we've got a BL that served this club as good as anyone 249 games speaks for itself he's a champion rugby league player played 37 tests for England and also Great Britain so he's done it all just look over here more people rolled in still waiting but there we go we got some more fans in they're all here today to see the last captains run we take on the roosters and they've picked a pretty good side too so um I'm sure you'll agree they have picked a a terrific side and um there's you know there's people watching from all sorts of Vantage points but anyway we're underway now and the first blout is one of the the young stars of the club Joy Gray and he's going to be starting at fullback in the last game but one question will be if once Latrell comes back next year where do you play Joy gray might ask Ben Hornby that in the press conference so once this presser ends we will um there's some staff up there at the Sant RAB CER Jess up there um might ask Ben Hornby that in the press conference so when this finishes this live stream we'll we'll move in for the for the press conference and and there's Jackie M over there one of my favorites Davey's mom we call her she's a champion I wonder if she'll do the whistle for us she probably will um she she's a lovely lady Mrs M and yeah so we just had a little sneak peek rich rich in the in the house uh there's Jo Arrow so they're just teasing us now poking their heads out who's going to come out but yeah back to what I was saying so Ben Hornby press conference come back to Bunny's TV for that we'll clip up the best bits and you know we we've got some other stuff uh I'm not sure if I heard you say if you heard me before but um I did have a chat to the great Ron C that's already up on Bunny's TV and I've also managed to have a quick chat with Eliz bridge to so look out for that here comes the boys on this final countdown for the year there's TI time Monro footy comes out with his boots so Dean Orin is taking over from Jack whon we will keep an eye up for there's cookie keep an eye up for him that's for sure so there he is Damen cook is on the astro turf or whatever it is there at the rabbito center here in marua for the final time um yeah no sign of Tommy yet but we'll move in there he is with the the signature hat backwards he's smiling anyway and yeah so welcome to bunnies TV the only place you can watch the captain's run live and free across Australia and around the globe but it is all about this black today the black's been a great servant of the club and not only that he's a good BL too I can confirm that he's always given me his time never anything too much when you ask for a photo or a video I did grab him after the presser on Tuesday and he gave me a little exclusive one1 there Shan KY playing his 100th NRL game so like I said there's some Milestones out here there's a few kids running around too and some families um yeah but there's uh Davey M so one of the Young Guns with one of the older ones there's Zas he's walking around all right so that's good um but yeah there's T come over hey Michelle's from Global Mouse travels in the house I'm going have to spin around for that there she is so she's live chatting and she's also here so that's that's commitment to your team and she loves this club like we all do and it's a sad day it's a very sad day but we're going to bring you these pictures we're going to get through it and there is massive crowd in here it's a couple hundred people to see the boys um there's uh Jacob host there getting a little working on the hammies there there Jo gray so yeah I will have a look at the live chats thank you for live chatting Jo gray will he end up in the halfes next year will he end up as the 14 Off the Bench you got to find a spot for him in the 17 somewhere and who knows there's two greats there John Sutton Damen cook walk out and there he's got the family in cookie so it's a real family and fan day here today so he's know you've heard him say he's he's spent a lot of his time here 10 you nearly 10 years and he's he's had a family and he's just become part of the rabido family really and the little ones here just mingling with the boys there's blany over there Liam LeBlanc and here's the captain so here's commitment this is this BL here he's you wouldn't know that he's not playing would you he's got he's suited up and he leads by example does our Cameron Murray there's no putting the queue in the rack he's going to stay with the boys and I'm sure will be on the sideline tomorrow night cheering them on as we all will be if you can get to the either get to the game or be able to watch it live on Channel 9 or Fox League I'm a fox League man myself prefer that call there they are and this is their last training session and we I know cam will be he'll be eligible for the Pacific test I think so if he served his suspension he which I think he has two games he'll be one of the first guys picked for that pacific test cuz he's one of the best forwards in the world and there's Cody so anyone wondering if Cody's fit the train let's have a look last time we had a look at his C we had Cody cam Cody's CF Cam and he goes over the little fell there and says hello so he's a family man too is our codes and all indications are he's going to be all right I'm sure he's going to want to play against the roosters he does fire up for those games does codes and look the BL just come over to tot BG so there's the three little handshake there from the two departing Champions Thomas Burgess and Damen cook there there's not a dry eye in the house if you're watching this and shedding a tear I don't blame you because they are two guys that you just don't replace easily Tommy Burgess 250 NRL games International like I said 37 tests for Great Britain and England and and cookie 17 state of Origins setting the Rugby League World a light this PL and we're all proud that he was a rabbito and he was a An Origin star and he was a he's a kangaroo and we'll claim him as our own even though he started at the dragons in 2013 the same year Tommy came from Bradford and there's a bit of a bit of a Ruckus going on here but so all the boys are out and you can see them there we'll fit them all in the frame but yeah cookie came from the dragons and to the to the Bulldogs and then we got him from the Bulldogs and Isaac Luke took off and then cam mcginness was gone the next year and then it was Cookie's job and even though we had Robbie Farah for a little while it's always been cookie he's always been our man so there we are there's our boys and I haven't even mentioned Talis Duncan yet it's his first start at lock and I know he's very proud of that and he's wearing the golden number eight I'll find him in a minute but there's TR mid in there with the boys and they're doing a little guard of Honor here for the boys there foras Tess has gone through there he goes I thought they were doing that for Tom and that was Jackie's whistle there you would have heard the first man out on the field is the captain the captain's run there he is um let's bring it back around um yeah so deopa there and there he is T So a special golden number eight for this BL and he is very proud to say that he'd be wearing that'll look good on him too he had a big smile on his face on Tuesday and he's wearing the great Ron cot's Jersey to honor him because it is Ron coot Cup tomorrow night it's the aggregate of two games and we've got a win by 43 to get it so it's going to be tough but anyway there he is Damen cook little bit of skill there and would have been nice if that flick worked cookie try it again mate here we go there it is thank you very much mate all the skills this PL just just did it there rabbito triple 17 and a sad day for the club I know I keep saying it but it is true the blacks are the champion on and off the field and very sad to see him go I do keep call the beach Sprinter but he's much more than that but you know we' love to get some footage of him doing the beach Sprint back in the day for the Surf Club and the flags I used to love that myself he's a BL that never did never grew up doing that on the streets of jub there was no beach sprinting and flags and the swim in the board pretty sure they might have went to the local bars out there at Jeb in England but nonetheless he's an Aussie now and he did confirm the other day that it's only a brief stint in England he will be back he's coming back to the land down under because no offense to any of our English fans and viewers over there in the Old Dart um yeah once you've lived in Australia in Sydney there's no other place in the planet that's just quite like it the Harbor City the beaches the people and the football club the club in South Sydney called the rabitos the pride of the league and this bles one of them rabbito 1096 and we are grateful to the rabitos for giving us this exclusive access live and free on Bunny's TV with thanks to the Juniors Kingsford the greatest Club on the planet plenty of entertainment in there but yeah Thomas Burgess of the four Burgess Brothers the last remaining one and I did like the other day when I spoke to him about the Grand Final win and he it was him Sam and George but he did mention that Luke played in that 2014 season so he deserves as much credit as the other boys and that's true every bloke there's BLS like naate Meritt as well that didn't make that Grand Final team but certainly he played a big part in that 2014 season so yeah that's the sort of BL he is he's thinking of his big brother Luke and if you're watching this mate Champion I know Mom Julie might be having a look at this and hope hopefully big Sammy over there in Warrington and wherever you are Georgie but you heard the whistle there they're going to go through some drills here so thanks again to everyone who's joined us we will stick with this footage until they tell us to turn cameras off for the final time but there they are leading the way as usual Tommy and cookie two of our greatest rabbos and you know I know I'll talk about it a bit but anyone who plays one first grade game should be proud of that anyone who plays 50 like Richie Ken's about to do tomorrow night should be except exceptionally proud of that exceptionally proud and then anyone who plays 100 well that's a big M Stone that's huge but want to play 200 that is legendary status it certainly is it's no doubt about it 200 NRL games means you are the Elite of the elite and these two guys are that and the fact that we're losing them both it's it's very sad it's a sad occasion and especially when the club is where we are we're not going good we haven't been winning games and we need a a fresh start next year and without those two we've got to start a bit of a rebuild and there's the coaches there there's El with the ball my former teammate you got Steve Maven on the camera here rabbit 0757 and that's L there I'm not sure what number he is but he made his debut before me he's a couple years older than me Mark you got coach Hornby out there and um there's Jo Callahan on the right with the ball he's leaving this year so thank you Joe for your service at the club and I think that's David ferer there I am looking across into the the defensive coach yeah I'm pretty sure that's Dave ferer and Ben horby will go back as an assistant after today maybe I'll ask him about that how he's going to feel about doing that but he's still going to be on staff and yeah next year hopefully is better it's all we can hope for a better 2025 now we are looking for Cody out here so let's see if Cody's all right I did hear he had a bit of an injury and is he let's have a look I think he's is it him over there um let's have a look I'll try and looking over the lens now to find him now there he is uh rabbit a 115 there he is he's moving all right we'll keep an eye on the ball work once the cameras go off and see if he runs with the team you got Deon ala's cover neon down um so yeah there's the extended bench there's a few there there's a a young fell called Brock gray on the extended bench and I'd like to have seen him get a run but maybe next year's his time I'm not sure or if he's still with the club yeah so The Final Countdown they did it their way Tom and Daman and there is a huge crowd in here watching this but welcome to everyone who's watching this live and free on bunny TV your 2024 Rabbid o this is the last session and they are playing The Roosters tomorrow night the women's team have got their second last game on Saturday at Z park down in wenong they're taking on the aaar Steelers so shout out to coach Jason Dori and all their star players

look at their training session because that'll be the only rabbit o team after today available for any sort of media or anything so yeah the boys are coming in just sha Mitchell over there're doing a bit of training so they're just coming in now I wonder what they're saying in there there you go bit of chatter behind me people from the burrow and elsewhere in okay so they'll start doing a bit of ball work now so our uh our time is limited they'll kick off they'll drop out from underneath the post and they'll start a little ball work drill just to warm up the shoulders um yeah so I imagine Tommy will be involved in the Pacific test oh no it's Pacific so no he won't so there you go England's not in the Pacific so I don't know if they got rep games I probably should have done me homework and there he does a little Dropout and it was a shocker he got the legs got the distance um and yeah so we'll just stick with this for a little while but I'm pretty sure jez Monahan will be out in a minute to tell us to turn the turn it off boys are fired up and there he is big Tom so it's a turnover there you got to keep possession in this drill and we'll stick with it until they tell us not to they so jez just looking over then this could be it bit of a bludge of a kick again but that like Tommy's over there and he's he's had an air swing there I [Music] think and that's about it so it's
