uh moving up in the world and I looked after myself and he looked after himself except he didn't he didn't look after himself tell you what you get he only remarked on Monday when he was [ __ ] he was like mate I didn't take my good day a weekend I'm like well not my problem when you fail to prepare you prepare to fail well that's what they say yeah Socrates said that he said that and that's that's a big he's a big Tom guy Socrates Socrates big Tom guy that's speak like Tom that's like M I'm giving you a bit of [ __ ] knowledge and you refuse to listen I've been around for thousands of years even I'm dead and you still won't take my advice on well I mean like what does Tom know better than Socrates is that what sounds like it that's what he's implying yeah that if he if he didn't he wouldn't be sick he be well exactly yeah if you just listen to Socrates punn and dribblers and Socrates is telling you to buy good day Bigwood health.com.au Okay C dribblers while water off sickness I had mine just before mix it in with my protein drink you get the protein drink you that I get it mixes in with water really well so you can mix the good day in and it takes absolutely fantastic bit of creatin a bit of good day a bit of protein that's a way to start your day M you're laughing absolutely laughing you're [ __ ] giggling ah what's what how was the week mate Perth was Perth I actually like Perth Perth I like Perth I can I can enjoy myself in Perth not too busy not too big Sunday was like walk to the fights you're going am I at like the wrong city am I in the wrong City for the fights although the the buildups been here did they move it to a different city like we yeah we were walking there and I was like [ __ ] I wouldn't mind a feed before we get there I'm like I remember there was a Subway around the corner I wed past that close Sunday no Sunday no we don't I'm like is this duo in the 90s where the [ __ ] am I you know what else is similar like that um Zurich uh over in Switzerland the capital Switzerland can you please check that big European guy guy big Euro guy um very cultured we went there in is it Switzerland yeah yeah and so we went there uh and we basically had two days there but the first day you get there it's a ride off usually like you go have a little Gander but you get back home you're tired you travel it's a off but the Sunday nothing like when I say nothing's open it's not like Perth where most things aren open nothing is open on a Sunday and Z so you just like you got to stay at home you pretty much just got to walk around and the only things that are open are like chains like American chains pretty much that are like spitting on their culture pretty but uh so Perth Zurich very similar Zurich also isn't that supposed to be where all the cash is that's what I was surprised like isn't that like busy very business business Cas in in Switzerland yeah like Zurich all the rich like rich people go and live there well isn't it's like Swiss banks yeah that's that's what you go dump your cash there no one ask any questions but then like well why aren't she's opening a Sunday is it because you're all bended on a Saturday using all your companies money it's a great point it's a great point I just I've come to expect like around the clock care yeah you know what I mean like if you're not open all the time then you've got a problem I've got a problem I've come I've come to expect um Society working themselves into their graves to support what I want to happen that's right but yeah look Western Society we got it right like let's not let anyone live and enjoy life let them work y for my convenience so I can get [ __ ] when I want it that's right and then when they they're lying in bed they can be like thank God I was open in 1987 or sorry 1995 when Den was just a little wher Snapper in the convenience thank God I was open for him exactly right like imagine in 50 years time on your deathbed like been saying thank God I was open on that Sunday before UFC 305 so I could serve Edward uh probably maybe a chicken teriak 6 foot you know what I mean 6ot not you're not gone I don't think 6 in sorry not 6 6 in [ __ ] 6ot holy [ __ ] I I probably wouldn't have got a foot long no I was I was in a mood for something something quick and easy just and just to absorb maybe what you drunk last night that's exactly right that's all I wanted okay uh and I was denied it but Perth a beautiful place y that R arena is a is a doozy rack Arena rack very as soon as I saw it I said oh that's a bit on the nose one of your best man yeah thanks man one of your best that came to me like literally [ __ ] you're good thank you appreciate no wonder you [ __ ] got to where you got rolling that sort of go there didn't you think it's a don't you think it's a ripper it's it's mad it is actually a sick Arena and I'll tell you what UFC do it really well like boxing events are good M UFC they're not the same the roll cuz the problem with boxing is like for three of the fights you really don't know and I I I get it like it's different promotions UFC have the benefit of almost being a monopoly because they are so they have like all the best fighters but they the show just rolls on you're getting videos of who's about to fight you know you know what I mean it's just a really and it's slick but obviously that's going to happen because they are huge um whereas like you're boxing usually like the top two fights are the ones that you're you're there for and don't get me wrong some of the local scraps in Bon when you got a plumber vers in up and come that's the best [ __ ] you can watching Australia yeah but us see they do move they do move and it's slick it's slick they do a great job and you're right like they build so nicely like the the production's incredible but like in between fights the the video package are just building up the music's building up it's [ __ ] the lighting's amazing I tell you here's a good example so the Saudi AR the Saudis have gotten into boxing Y and the rehad rehad seeders or something like that bro their cards go for like 6 hours and you just go on bro I started watching it's like [ __ ] 2: in the morning there when they finish and people no one's drinking people like dead in their seats and also for me watching I started watching this at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday and it's literally 5:00 in the afternoon and I and like I'm watching more dead air and pundits literally repeating what they said 2 hours ago over and over and over whereas UFC slick quick good always mostly finishes probably 15 minutes in between fights I'd say if yeah if that honestly like from the end of the start you know what yeah 15 is probably right yeah from the interviews everything boom out but before you know it you go get your drinks by the time you're back the next bike's walking in 100% so good just runs so well so smoothly it's they've got it like it's just a well World machine you know what I I was I was torn he first I was majorly torn with the co-main because erser such a good bloke and also is Aussie so I was going for Ur cuz he's Australian but Kar f is such a good plug too such a good blug I was like [ __ ] he was hurting I was like but I'm was he some go urer so that hurt but at the same time I was like oh but car you're actually a [ __ ] Legend too that mate it was actually a good card some sick fights on there dude some sick fights um Dan hooker a absolute sicko screw sicko genuine screwless when he was in the corner going oh [ __ ] I he looked like the Joker I [ __ ] love this [ __ ] and he's got blood coming his eyes can't open oh my God mad as a cut mad as a cut snake absolutely absolute Legend too um well who was I I was surprised at how much uh did uh dupy is the villain I like D dupy I think he's hilarious well I just think that there was like a very it must have been a very Pro kiwi crowd there but even like even online DDP is like a villain I've always liked him I think that his comments around like bar is isra were misconstrued yeah and and like it became about race where I don't think that was ever his intention I don't think he intended to do that and I think I think all he was saying was I'm the only African Champion currently living in Africa that's all it was yeah and and you'd have pride in the fact that you're training from there so and also the fact that they made up at the end and they and he explained I think he did he even apologized he was never my intention it's not my intention that's what you know what that's what I do love is when you see two blogs bash each other and then they hug after and like yeah that's why we're here beautiful moment we're here for hugging after Beautiful Moments bit of a hug bit of a kiss of a bum tap exchanging of jackets he gave him a jacket so Perth was great thanks UFC thanks K thanks UFC but when he walked out with that South afan flag and like behind the the spring box that's scary did you see the video of them celebrating and the security guards were [ __ ] himself I'm like there he's not going to lose I don't think you don't when you got a B behind you dos B you got dos Bach behind you you're not losing no and you got the South African flag you come out of the anthem and then also once you win you actually pictured on Instagram in a South African g- string you know the manini yeah he literally is drinking beer in a manini that's South African there you go how you beating a vog that's doing that you know you got a B behind you and you got in your in your training bag in preparation for a victory you've got a man keini that's a your flag yeah you're not beating that that's a mad you don't you don't pack a man KY unless you're know you're going to win can you imagine Man Ke and losing no just that's just never happened it's never happened couldn't have they should have checked his b you know they usually check gloves in that they should have checked his bag and said you know what got a man candy I'm I'm out of here it could it couldn't have happened there's just no way oh you know what MD I'll send you the picture I hope I hope it's still around um because it was on on story where it disappears but yeah those when they so there's video of the the Box celebrating bro and you can tell the security guard is going stop stop stop you know those like like so the camera looks like he's actually saying stop but really he's like stop yeah yeah he's Whispering it please don't yeah he's Whispering it cuz they're just going [ __ ] 6'7 [ __ ] massive giant it's best like [ __ ] like one of the biggest humans on the planet it's like 7 foot and he's hard as [ __ ] dude you know what South Africa did come and pound us on the weekend such hard man we went to the r Union on the weekend as well it raining right and every single South African on the bench is just sitting out in the rain no umbrellas no jackets just copping it and then boys with all due respect to them rugged up rugged up nice like Defender seats like huge big jackets I'm like this is boys and men stuff I'm like look at those [ __ ] hard men over there yeah they they did literally come to our country raid our country yeah take dubs yeah and say [ __ ] see you later yeah big just big dubs dubbed up against us in the union took with their Bay Side with their b side took Bam Bam to of's money DDP did bet cuz he bet $500 wab would win and then DDP comes in takes an Anzac cuz obviously Israel's kiwi Anzac takes the the dub off him and then bounces yeah it's just South Africa huge we but we [ __ ] teared you up in the Olympics so get that up Y how many hey how many medals did you win did you get 18 no you didn't did you get any you know what yes you did get the win cuz we were so focused on winning [ __ ] Golds we were a gold nation so gold nation you have that little dub against our Union side that's rebuild a rebuild we'll take a few we're rebuild we're on a rebuild we're on a rebuild you got your b side we got a rebuild side yeah I mean great You've Won back-to-back World Cups like that's cool you know what I mean better your rebuilding but he rebuilding exactly you know what I mean did you just have to deal with Eddie Jones coming in and [ __ ] completely did you did you exactly did you have to deal with like uh someone coming in and just being an absolute traitorous bastard and [ __ ] crippling crippling the nation speaking of traitorous Aussie cyclist defects to Great Britain bastards I'm not even going to say his name cuz I don't know it but old mate we'll just call him [ __ ] old mate he's old mate the cyclist that suckles on the tee of Australia of the nation of the nation for his whole upbringing y goes over wins medals you know what I don't care about those medals now they're I don't care about them goes over wins medals within a couple weeks like doesn't he doesn't wait a month no two months gets back to Australia and goes you know what I'm going over to Great Britain because they have more funding uh and you know his manager then comes out and says yeah he didn't want to say anything for the last 6 months cuz it might have affected his uh selection on the Australian side yeah no [ __ ] it might have affected his selection read the room bro bro you what that you you come out with that information the moment you get back why BR why' you do that what why not at least wait a little bit why wouldn't you wait a couple of years mate why wouldn't you wait a couple of months why not just sneak off just sneak off go out the also you don't need to tell us yeah smoke bomb boom no one knows who the [ __ ] you are you know what I mean no one knows your name all I know that you're a Trader that's all I know the trader Trader Joe's that's where he shops you come in you [ __ ] you take all the funding from the great nation all the support all the training all the knowhow some young cyclists could have used that team exactly you go you win medals and then you come back and you make a big song and dance what 22nd of August [ __ ] what 10 days after the Olympics well not not even that cuz he he did it like a week ago two days after the Olympics oh I want to go like she announced at the closing ceremony pretty much got up on the stage and said are you like he's almost like he's going out of his way to to be hated and then and then he came back you I and then he come out and he re like set said another statement where like you know I've made my decision you know I don't care what anyone thinks or whatever something along those lines it's like well you clearly do care CU otherwise you wouldn't have made out a [ __ ] statement you of course you care you care cuz if you didn't you just go just go hey bro you know how many you know how many parties I smoke bombed and knowing you was gone that's what you should have done with this whole cycling thing smoke bomb smoke buber no one knows who you are no one can spot you in a lineup you just turn up in Great Britain no one knows well no one knows no one knows you're gone yeah you want some medals for the country but I you know what I'd if Jess Fox did it right you'd know you'd know about it exactly cuz she TI you know you have you could smoke bomb you are Jess Fox Ariana life of the party this bloke weird guy stands in corner yeah no one knows him no one knows him didn't know you were there see you br exactly right no one noticed you when you were there no one notices you when you leave that's all you need to do just [ __ ] off okay I've done it many of times no one gives a [ __ ] that I left and just like you should have gone I cannot believe it I cannot like bro the [ __ ] stones on the man audacity cuz I would rather send the worst cyclist in history over there that loves his Nation than the best that hates the nation yeah un read the room oh my God that stung so much read the room it looks like he's going to be banned from any international events for 2 years what what yeah which for being a [ __ ] dog yeah is that the dog 2.5 is there a dog claw a dog claw dog you got introduced of about 1965 the dog act um yeah so there's like a little grace period but apparently cycling Australia or whoever the governing body are can have a 2year non can enforce a 2-year non-competition period so they're pushing for that at the moment so he not locked in but that's what they're pushing for dog claws I'm a big fan of it I love the dog claws if you're going to be a m you get punished unbelievable and and the fact that his manager came out could you get the quote up please and said that you know he'd been thinking about it for 6 months but it would didn't want to affect his selection for the Australian duh that's the point that's why everyone's pissed bro you would have been dropped mate oh man of course you would have been dropped there's no place in the side for turn codes and you know what's crazy is like let's say in a year or two he had have done it I still would have been off him but I would have cop it a little bit better cuz i' been you know what you did your thing at the Olympics it's been a couple years you got you've made the decision but it's the fact that you knew whilst you were in the great green and gold y in the back of your mind you knew you were going to do this that's what hurts me the most yeah it's disgraceful that's what hurts me the most if you had have gone over there and loved the nation and then waited a year or two and said you know what I want more funding I'm actually born there he misses is from there I go yeah okay I don't agree with it fair enough but it's the audacity to an announce it with 10 like literally returning to the nation should got you know what they should have banned his passport well they he shouldn't he should be [ __ ] he should be sent over there and ripped up his Aussie passport you can't come back that's what I think I think so too cut him loose cut him loose say mate you don't get to suck at the tee no more you don't get to well listen if you want to disrespect the great greatest nation of all then there's consequences to that you know what I mean yeah you get punished for that what do you got there m I haven't found the exact quote but there's articles everywhere apparently it's very Eddie Jones he was sneaking doing like sneaky little meetings as early as February this year what oh that's very Eddie Jones oh my God oh that's very Eddie Jones oh no and then and then probably denying it as well Eddie Jones when he like I'm not taking meetings with Japan it's like why why why is everyone talking about the fact you are people don't make that [ __ ] up this is the quote but again it's from it's from the 28-year old male so I don't know whether it's uh like he taking the piss or not but it's been in the works for 6 months but he didn't want anyone to find out and have it effect in qualifying for Australia but he wants to represent England with their Superior funding uh Sun blog speaking for the prick the cheated Australia I don't know if that's actually the actual quote you're going to lose your [ __ ] when you hear this quote this is from him I was out in Hong Kong with Australia but sneaking off to have a secret little meeting and then going back it's the only way I could do it I had to keep it that way in case of possible deselection or something like that this guy's a m he's actually a like a double aent spy what an absolute disgrace I'd will say if I'm Great Britain I'm like we're not having you either your morals are not where they need to be just turned coded on apparently our allies aren't we supposed to be bloody allies you'd be like I'd be like I you can't be trusted you can't be trusted at all that's that is gross that is J all jokes aside that's gross it's gross it's one of the rankest things I've ever heard oh my from a sporting context like outr absolutely outrageous and ser like look things life's Chang things change like as I said if it was a year or two like although I wouldn't like it i' would be like you know what things happen everyone's life changes everyone's situations changes maybe has a misses what like whatever kids and he wants to go back home and be with his F like cuz he was born in England that's where I be like you know what okay all right that's all good but the this this outrageous the actual sneaking out like you're a 15-year-old with a girlfriend it's outrageous climbing out the window of Australian tling jeez absolutely Ron Coote named as the 14th Immortal outrageous tell you what it's not outrageous though Eddie what's up man Ron C named as a for Ronnie he loves his country [ __ ] o he does he [ __ ] loves his country r c loves his country [ __ ] he last night r c oh mate in tears he said I didn't think I'd cry at 80 years old that's how much he loves his rugby league in nation he loves he loves his Nation he loves his regular League Football uh four premier ships at South two premier ships at the roosters uh nine grand finals that is hectic six premor ships nine grand F nine grand finals and those nine grand finals came in an 11year window what and he clearly took success with him cuz he like went from one team to the other 24 games for Australia 257 first grade games where you could literally kill guys on the field y you can get away with killing that's a fuckload of first grade games back then Jesus you got lot murderers running around pretty much that's outrageous um 148 for South 109 for the roosters uh I I reckon What's Happening Here is a obviously deserved when you look at that incredible I obviously didn't watch him play so I can't judge from that but from that resume and everything you hear from people that did watch him play but what I like about this is we spoke about in The Green Room is I feel like this is almost a resetting where we're going okay let's get the proper people in and then build from there and I think that the olden Administration although we all agree well I think we all agree Joey M all those guys should be Immortals they probably like jumped the gun a little bit Y and I reckon that they what they've done here is they've gone let's just reset get everything back on the rails and do everything in order going forward yeah instead of bouncing around because like when they [ __ ] put Joey in he he wasn't that far retired that far retired and you know he's going to get in just a matter of time it's like cam Smith you know he's going to get in I prefer it I prefer this way you got to you got to wait you got to wait you know what I mean it should be minimum 10 years 15 years out of the game before which is weird they changed it like only it used to be 5 years and then recently they changed it to like three and a half three or something like that yeah but we've but we've if there's anything we can glean from these rules they put in they me absolutely [ __ ] all that's literally was what we were saying 5 years ago they said there's going to be a m every two years which is too much and I'm like hang on what and Immortal every two years way too much every two years yeah yeah for five years it should be every five years or 10 years even that's [ __ ] absolutely absolute Madness I re it should be one from any every generation I reckon or two Max two Max I reckon I think when we spoke about this we could I reckon the next one you go Kenny Freddy and then you go locky Smith as in Kenny Freddy the next one y Loy Smith the next one I think people would be happy with that I think people would go yeah sweet I reckon that that would be a fair shake and look like granted only people watching would be like have like opinions of who they want like maybe Alfie Langer or so you know even [ __ ] Alfie as well jeez when you look at Alfie's resume and also he's impacting the game like being a little fell in the halves as well um yeah I wouldn't mind Alfie in there but I do think that I like that it looks like we've gone back on the rails go in like in order chronologically let's go chronologically let's not jump all over the place like if Smith got in last night you would have gone yeah like yeah I get it I get that he should be a more but it wouldn't have sat right with me just [ __ ] retired yesterday like let's just chill out a bit and also like you know it'd be awesome for Smithy to get it but like we all know he's going to get it you know so if he Rush yeah exactly if he had have got it last night then it's like well then you can't why would you put Kenny Freddy coot Alfie like you basically erasing them unless you go oh we're going to put smiy in now but then we're going to put in Kenny in a 5year you know it just be weird so I like that they've kind of reset the reset the board do you like that they they just sort of call these things on whatever they want or would you like more structure I would like more structure I I reckon like once every 5 years would be a good good amount cuz it's all over the map it is it really is all over the map probably yeah once every 5 years I reckon oh but then you yeah yeah once every 5 Years cuz you'd go okay let's just assume let's go Kenny and Freddy in the next one yeah so that would be 2029 2029 yep and then 2034 would be uh locky and Smith y and so I'm just trying to think of I'm happy with that and then so that by that time so when do you reckon clear will retire like Nathan clear I'm not like I'm just using him as of this generation he's the most likely yep he would retire probably 2003 31 well how old is he now 26 26 so say he retires in 20 30 32 33 33 so yeah then another fight yeah so then he could go at around the 2000 he could be the next immortal around two if he is 2037 or whatever like you know what I mean yeah yeah that makes I reckon it 5 years every 5 years I reckon that makes sense when how long ago was the last one the last induction 201 2018 oh no that's six years six years but it's funny how you say the rules are all over the place so when they did the 2018 announcement they were like all right this is what we're doing one to two Immortals will be added every 4 years they must have been retired for 5 years so like they haven't even continue their own rule like after after one ceremony in their defense in their defense it is a whole new Administration I think from when that was made not to not I'm not saying that it's like we shouldn't stick to rules that were made by old administrations yeah but I think that maybe they're looking at like oh you know what we don't agree with that let's let's rejig it um interesting as well that they Chang the eligibility from 5 years to three that was which seemed which seemed completely unnecessary unnecessary yeah and it felt like because they did that were they doing that to try and get Cam Smith in that's what it felt like yeah and then they just and they didn't and then it didn't anyway so it's like what the [ __ ] was the point of that the good thing is though I think they got it right same I think they got it right when you see old Ronnie C up there at 80 crying you're like yeah yeah I get it I get it and everyone like that knows who like knows him as a player seems to be frothing they're all in you know singing in unison and I like the fact that it's reset the board yeah can I give you some just some numbers on Ronnie C so like my my whole family go for sou and pop and dad always talk about Ronny c y and so he won a comp house in 67 68 70 and 71 mhm and that was just after St George had their big period so it's been St George and sou roosters hadn't won in like 30 years they'd won four three or four Wooden Spoons he goes to the roosters they come second the first year is there and then they go back to back in 74 and 75 in the 75 years s get the wood spoon after winning the Comp four years earlier so that just like if you think sou and Rooster's rival is big now back then like he pretty much started the book of feuds really yeah so there's stories of like people had a pet rabbit named after him and they killed it when he went to the roosters what yeah there was a uh apparently a gypsy a gypsy called him and put a a lifetime spell on a lifetime spell of bad luck on him not the spell yeah the book of didn't do [ __ ] yeah so you know he robbed him of an immortal he's had to try for Immortal three times maybe that was or five was it three or five I think it's May spell only just wore off in 2024 wow so obviously and I think it's the only thing sou R fans Not My Generation obviously but above me agree on is that Ron C's an absolute Legend but apparently it was just bit back in the day and it ignited the whole rivalry which is cool that is interesting that is interesting you know it's it's so when you look back in history and you almost these see these like people as like separate from you but they they they grew up and went through the same things you went through like they love their footy back then but it's just so foreign to you you just kind of like oh yeah that's kind of like they were different but they weren't they just [ __ ] love their footy got around it um Jan Ronnie Co got a Ronny Co last night look I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to I don't want to get it UNC in such a c you know co uh conversation but I will I will say he has gifted us with some slang that will never die no never die it'll never die it'll literally never die there be like people be Ronny C did you get a Ronny C and I don't know the [ __ ] Ronny C is no idea no idea which is is quite special it's very special you know I would be quite proud as a man if my name lived on that long for that mate it's that's a

right thing and ironically speaking the Smithy uh yesterday even like off here before we got on the show was saying mate my parents used to love Ron cot like they um so he was back in Ronny cting he was like no if anyone I reckon Ronnie cot should get it so even the great Smithy who was the favorite was saying n Ronnie C should get it [ __ ] o Ron um that's good stuff turns out it's not cyberp Punk it's just it's just a slang for the euro dollar Eddy yeah cuz it's Ed Ed so it's commonly known as Eddie and ebuk you live on bro there we go holy [ __ ] did you get last night there you go

been reported that Adam O'Brien has a unique clause in his contract that the 2-year extension will be wiped if they finish 13th or worth his contract goes until 2027 so it would be 2026 and seven years that could be impacted holy [ __ ] what are they coming and the crazy thing is is like when [ __ ] like this gets leaked it gets leaked for a reason yeah they comeing 11th at the moment if they come 13th or worst this year he loses his 26 27 options yes um reported what's their running home I think their runs home they got a good they got a good run home but let me just get it up give me a sec um listen the knights have not been they've been fled they've not been great like their attack def actually been pretty good it's their attack that's been just like they got sorry they got s this week and then they got Titans and dolphins both Sunday afternoon at Hunter Stadium no Cody Walker so they should you'd imagine their favorites in two from three yeah they should go two from three like what are the Adam O'Brien years look like from a results perspective they're actually compared to what they were before he rolled in pretty right yeah okay he's made I think he's made finals every year except for except for this year o except for maybe one I think he's three from five but let me check he's he's made finals more years than he hasn't I think definitely definitely that's right yeah um which is all right considering where they that's all right that's okay I just think that roster needs an overhaul to be honest yeah and I think that like the whole they just seem they just seem be flat but of course they are like changing your halves every like every four weeks pretty much every literally every four weeks and look I understand like it's as a coach it must be hard cuz like your hares aren't playing that well but it's just like well of course you can't score points you're not building any combos I'd love I'd love to hear a KN opinion on it cuz I I personally think that you just throughout a year if if you can help it you should only go through maybe two to three carves pairings like like let's say you're struggling for connections and you're not going that well but everyone is not injured yeah at Max I reckon two or three combinations like probably two I I would like two where you go half the year unless it's a disaster and you're like at the bottom of the label like half the year like you give one has combination like the first 6 to 8 weeks y the next one you know 6 weeks look I get there are outside pressures and I know there's also injuries and everything like that but the fact that they've got a guy like Justin hings who I know he wasn't playing his best footy but like he also wasn't playing terribly and he's in they've got him in New South W cup playing lock and on the weekend apparently he ran for like 200 M can you get his stats up 200 M Jes Tri assists like multiple Tri assists multiple line breaks like killed it and like now all of a sudden Hastings they're clearly looking to move Hastings on kogar the guy they brought to the club he can't even he's not even starting he's playing 14 you got Crossland the guy that used to be a seven they made him into a utility then into a nine then then off Off the Bench now he's back to seven and gamble who was the first bloke to get dropped I'm pretty sure is now he's obviously injured this week I just don't get it's a mess it's complet it's a complete [ __ ] mess and then you go back a couple years ago and everyone said don't put KP to six like don't do it it's already been tried and they put him to six it completely ruined their um retention like so they put him to six so they go and get Loy Miller they trade an under 19 front row from New South Wales to get Loy Miller to the club Loy Miller comes plays okay KP doesn't go well at six KP gets moved back to fullback yeah they release Loy Miller the Super League yeah and now all of a sudden they they were desperate for six H six cuz they thought that just just I I personally think it's poor roster management but do you but like Adam O'Brien's got something to do with that right for I I think Adam o'r should have said no KP you're not playing six like it's not happening like you're a fullback it was a disaster it was a dis a [ __ ] disaster the ended his bloody career it was an absolute disaster he played lock in new F's cup 23 M two line break assists TR assist 30 tackles no Miss like what what's he doing in reserve grade like I know there must there must be you know might be more to it there has to be more to it but like you're playing Crossland and gamble over him and also coger is number 14 it's basically like they're saying it's like he just can't he just doesn't with the side it just doesn't work that's like that's what I learned from that and playing him in the forwards too so he's not he's not going back to play seven they're going we're going to play you in the toughest position on the field which is outside of the hooker 13's the hardest position we're going to play there knowing that you hate it crazy town Crazy Town Crazy Town yeah the things need a the things need a uh a bit of a spring clean at the nights I think and he took over in 2020 and they hadn't made the finals since 2013 in that time they got three spoons he's come 7th sth in a disaster year in 2022 and then last year which was good year and then now this year see I said this at the start of the year the concern about last year and it's similar to the Broncos is that a lot of that was based around kale and pong having W the greatest runs of [ __ ] rugby league we've ever seen in our lives yeah and when your wins are based off form like that that is like out of this world it's hard to replicate it you know it's really hard to replicate it and it's the same with reesei like Reese's been he's been up and down this year he's had some really good games some not so good games and what have the Broncos been like they've had some good games or like so when you're basing it around that kind of it's just really hard to replicate it whereas when you look at teams like the storm teams like penrith like they don't really base their Seasons around one guy that's killing it well Panthers can win without clear it all the time like obviously finals is different but like regular season not a problem not a problem and they never it never gets brought up like oh no we're missing this guy that's got like they just they just go about slot in do your all move on so I don't know will say this the concerning thing is the fact this is getting leaked now that's not good that's not good you're getting [ __ ] like this leaked in R League your alarm bells and you must and if you're Adam obri if you're Adam O'Brien you're going I'm probably um there's a chance I'm going to better get sucked yeah and also if y O'Brien in the club's telling you no no we didn't no it wasn't us wasn't us oh [ __ ] off D is in the club please don't have like yeah well mate the the like the chairman will come out and go just want to guarantee everyone that had Brian is contracted until the end of 2027 and we have every intention we have every intention okay of letting him say at his contract yeah and then we get sacked two days later that's rugby league that's rugby league baby um so so they should they should um obviously finish above 13th though I'd have to you'd have to assume you'd have to assume because not only do they have a decent draw heading in but also the teams around them it's not like the teams around them are playing like red hot footy yeah yeah like they might lose games as well um whereas at the top that's where it's a bit harder for things to switch cuz like you very rarely lose the games of footy yeah um like for example the storm would have to like essentially lose every game like two games pretty much and then even then they would still be on even points wouldn't they it' be yeah it' be points differential so yeah they're too if storm lose every game in Panthers win every game Panthers would jump yeah pan jump but if they even if they lose two games Panthers still need to win every single game yeah correct yeah right up it's probably yeah um unlikely yeah so the concerning thing is the fact this is getting leaked and I guess I guess there the question is like I understand Adam O'Brien was amazing last year like it was so good to watch and he'd actually been through a lot personally and such a fan I guess the question from a fan perspective is why would you sign Adam O'Brien for three years instead of a shorter contract that is something you could probably question because it's not like I'd assume it's not like Adam O'Brien would be like there's not so many coaching jobs that are just ready to go you know like the negotiating power from Adam O'Brien's perspective wouldn't probably be that strong mate 100% but it seems to happen all the time these long deals I'm like shorten these [ __ ] us up yeah two two years I reckon like two three marks I if I was if I was in the situation to resign Adam O'Brien I would have gone two years with a third option if you hit these like if you play finals foot in both years or something y the third activates yeah yeah rather than the the reverse kind of way they've done it 100% um particularly like that look at the the the length of coaches on average do you know what I mean like it's just it's just it is what it is statistically they don't see out more than sort of 2 three years so why would you give these coaches 5 six years doesn't make sense yeah oh man what have the Broncos giving away 5 exactly what exactly um but I will I will say like I do think Adam o'r deserves a a good Fair opportunity to head into next year and have a decent crack I don't think he should be under pressure just yet no not yet um and I but I do think that if you get into next year and he's chopping and changing his halves again like that yeah that's when you go mate like Packer up that's just too too many years in a row for that happening um Roost is resigning Roost resigned Conor Roosters re-sign Connor Watson and Spencer Leniu Watson hot Pirates penu until the end of 2027 great reigning how valuable but like think about those blocks before this year spenc basically seen as a bench forward with Incredible impact but you would you wouldn't like if he went on the market there would be a lot of clubs that would want him but he wouldn't be like hot hyp property and Conor Watson same situation utility but you know it wouldn't be hot hot property on the market with his age and the injuries or whatever fast forward a few months both players on the open market holy [ __ ] it's hot proba Conor was playing new southw cup at the start of the year and then last year was injured crazy and now he's [ __ ] one origin and he's probably the hottest utility in the game in the game right now yeah Spencer scary as [ __ ] only 23 killed it in origin 23 [ __ ] like an absolute psychopath such so damaging such a damaging footballer like mate you forget that with Spencer don't you that he's 20 23 it's [ __ ] how young he is it's absolutely insane like I was I thought he was like 27 same like that was just based purely of vibe and Vibe alone probably because he's already got his man strength that's why 100% well he just like he performs like he's older than that you know what I mean so the roosters [ __ ] the roosters just get a couple of gems again like and also they get them at a time where it's still in the areas of like they could say to Spencer and Connor mate look out look at where your careers have gotten to so when you're negotiating and and you come in with a bit of a lower price then what they could on the open market and Spencer and Conor they might go hang on a sec like I could get this on the open market the roosters and rightly so could say guys look at where your career is right now like there's got to be some give and take here like we've got a great roster we probably need you to take a little bit less and they would fairly be able to go you know what that's that's kind of true like I've gone from a bench forward at a really good club don't get me wrong to An Origin basically lock for next year and Connor Watson same situation so like there has been it hasn't just been all give from Connor and Spencer the rooster have also provided things for you know what I'm saying yeah um so smart from the roosters really really smart very very smart um Sam Walker there are Will Sam Walker test the open market? reports Paul Crawley from Paul Crawley that Sam Walker won't resign before November 1st therefore testy value on the open market geez when's his contract up has he got next year yeah he can speak to other clubs on November 1 for 26 that to me him him going to the open market if it is true that is like so surprising because surely the roosters have set aside enough cash to do that ever happen at the roosters never that never happens and like Ro roosters are almost a club that will go if you do go do that we're not interested anymore like if if you say to us before November 1st oh no I'm going to test my value look what happened to the trail situation that's exactly what happened so what like okay so L Trail got offered a contract from The Roosters when he was at the roosters yeah it was like 800 Grand or something was huge and all he said was like I just want to take some time and you know just want to take some time and check my Val and also mix that in with the fact that he would never play fullback at the roosters because Teddy's there and also Joey's there as well and so all he just said I just need some time basically from that point on they just said not interested boom got got rid of him see you later and so like that what's interesting with that I I reckon he resigns before November 1st because I can't see the roosters they're such a proud Club I don't see them going into the November one fighting for Sam Walker I think that they would be going n mate like you've got to want to be here as much as we want you here the problem is there's not really there's not that many halves getting around but surely like what's the difference between a milli year and 1.3 like a mli year to stay at the roosters and Uncle Nick this is crazy this is this is wild this is wild stuff if true from The Cry of Paul Crawley I I honestly reckon that most emotional General all time I reckon The Roosters will say we once November 1st happens we won't deal with you that's again that's purely opinion when when I'm shocked by this shocked does the roosters never get into these battles never never never never my thoughts are it's because Walker holds all the cards his price is only going to go up the further they go into the season if he gets to a grand final then it's pretty much name your price for sure so so what you're saying is is like it's not necessary that it'll go to November 1st what he's doing is just saying look just give me a few weeks and then I'll make my decision yeah I think if he resigns with the rosters it'll be before November 1st and I think it'll be because all right he's he's got what his value is if he makes the grand final match him that's a great Point okay so so you reckon it maybe like there's a half truth in what he's reporting where Sam Walker is saying I want to wait a few weeks but he's actually not saying I and he's interpreted that as before November one as opposed to I'm just going to wait a little bit cuz I want to just I want to get my value up because if he that's a great point if he goes into Forest footy and kills it not only is he not by him saying I want to wait a few weeks that's a very different statement to The Roosters then I want to go to the open market 100% that's a way different conversation so that makes that's that's a great shout there my um well done Matthew well done Matthew well done um lot of insight to The Roosters like do you fan or like what's going on there absolutely not I will say Sam Walker on the open market though as a Content fend a lot of cheddar a lot of cheddar but I'm thinking of content I can talk about that for years oh yeah like that's a that's a a pig at a trough the content trough I'm I'm a piggy at if you're in the content game you troughed up you troughed up for days the you are troughed all the way up like put it this way if he goes to the open market I'll have talked about every single Club in the competition trough me up I'll be troughed up trough me up uh okay KO all eight games are live and had free dring play on KO some key games this week Warriors V Bulldogs Raiders V Panthers and storm V Dolphins exclusive to Fox league in available on KO uh and there's so much more to watch on KO guys you can get all the fights on KO and there's heaps of content and as always a massive thank you to KO for sending us across to Perth um okay Joshy Where will Josh Schuster end up? Schuster there reports that Schuster's management met with the Rabbid O's management last week sources say wne is open to the mood is this right the tough one with this is is this a manager trying to get some Buzz going around his client because there's not much Buzz going on Buzz Rothfield none uh there's no buzz can I I'm going to use a word buzzless we we don't want buzzers in rugby leag we want a bit of Buzz and I'm like listen I'm not huge Buzz guy I'm a I'm a big buzz guy I think Buzz is the way the way forward the way of the future buzz and rugby league rugby league and Buzz like very important but the reality is that Josh uh has fallen off a proverbial Cliff you know what I mean um manly manly still paying a not an insignificant amount of his contract every year um so you know obviously we've been over this at length we're going to pay 800 Grand and then we're going to sack you like two months later um and then we're going to pay you a [ __ ] lot of money every year and Josh is just chilling he's just cruising he's just doing whatever the [ __ ] he wants and now maybe looking to looking to play a little bit of rugby league rugby league football if you [ __ ] sign him you sign him for pennies for minimum for absolute pennies because you're already getting topped up anyway and you go listen you can go back to reserve grade prove yourself there you go that's all that's the only that's the only promise you'd be Mak look if there were no other clubs putting pressure on it in the fact that like let's say there were a few clubs interested then you'd probably have to bring him into your first grade Squad immediately and probably pay him a little bit more the minimum but let's just say he's out in the wilderness right now and there's not really that much interest I'd be saying mate I want you playing resis like go join a New South Wales cup side now like you don't need to be with a um a first grade Squad right now you can just get your pay you can play parttime I would be yeah I'd be genuinely asking you mate if you really love the game go go play New South Wales car go prove yourself cuz you're earning enough money to not have to work yeah so it would be basically your job to just play New South Wales car the problem is he has so much talent there will be multiple clubs that will go hey bro he's he's a Min he's a Minner you reckon 100% he's a Min he's a Minner because like if he if he even plays 80% of what he can potentially play that's like a great a good NRL player that's how that's how much has the problem is he's had so many opportunities at Manley if there's one no where his potential we literally paid him on potential multiple contracts yeah which is madness in the extreme if there is one coach it's one it's one the probably the only coach You could argue I get yeah I'd love if Wayne can't do it it can't be done put it that way the I guess the question I have is like surely like send him down to Melbourne or something you know what I mean but maybe they don't want him yeah do you know what I mean yeah like that would be that would be that would involve Craig Ben Kane yeah I just point out as well that contract TR to sign last year hasn't even technically started yet oh for [ __ ] sake get that yourself Matt the Str I tell you what his his manager is the goat like the goat like when you're talking about delivering for your client Fu's greatest of all time not even enough for the boat it's not even enough for the boat he got offered a massive extension and he wasn't even making the first grade side it's absurd absolutely [ __ ] ridiculous oh look the the the the let's look at this glass half four maybe he did need some time away from rugby league like maybe there were a lot of personal things going on in his personal life his family life he needed to go and take care of his the key that I'd be look let's say I'm a club and I want Josh Sher the things I'd be asking would be you know why didn't it work at other clubs and if the if the answer was I had a lot of personal stuff going on and then I'd obviously say well what was the personal stuff and you know blah blah blah then I would ask what steps have you taken to fix that you know like if it was something bad happening in the family like have you taken care of that that trauma whatever it was like whatever it was and if he if he hadn't I would be like well until you be you are the one to decide to take the steps to fix whatever is stopping you from being the the best you can be how am I going to do it like I can't force you it has to be a choice that you make y for sure now iser has gone away off his own bat and worked on all the things internally and mentally and his mental health is in a really strong space then that is exciting cuz you said mate off your own bat you've gone and you've gone and sorted the problem yourself that says to me that you you are interested in being great which you can be like 100% Josh Shuster can be great so that that's what I'd be looking at as a club like has he gone off on his own to fix the things that need to be fixed if that is the case that's interesting and you you'd be interested in getting him on board if he's coming to you saying oh no I was expecting to come on board and you would take care of that yeah I'd be like mate has to come from you 100% has to come from you 100% couldn't agree all um we wish him all the best 100 yeah of course of course cuz at the end of the day Shuster hasn't done anything wrong like to anyone no just underperformed just underperformed and and as I said he probably has had personal things go wrong in his life um so yeah hopefully he can bounce back cuz you always want to see a young fell fulfill his potential there's nothing worse than bloody seeing that and all work out okay Tigers V Manley what are you how you Tips feeling about Manley cuz I'm I'm feeling good mate mate we're just we're just flying under the radar you know what you're doing just coasting super obvious you're just getting wins you're getting dubs mate all we're doing is collecting two points every week you know what I mean nothing like two hectic but at the same time not bad either just two points just but I think like that's an underrated trait like how many teams right now would kill just to be just stucking the dubs up seriously like was it's not that's not been done that often you're right like look at the look at the look at the the Dolphins for example the Broncos even the Cowboys have been up and down yeah like mainly at the moment I think they've won like five their last eight since magic round they've won 10 from 13 like that's like good that's that's just that's a team addicted did two points Bo and I I think it's an underrated thing like we always talk about oh they've forgotten how to win or they've gotten used to losing but you can also get used to winning and I feel like M kind of do I think there's another set as well they haven't lost a single game by 10 points or more or something like that really Sor I got that wrong it was seven from 10 but I'll check that now hectic um so yeah like they're just they're getting dubs they're winning that their run home is pretty good yeah we got I think dogs next week and then winable both winnable like it's not like you're playing Panthers bloody and You' beaten them so besides that ridiculous origin game against sou where no one played 14 nil and they didn't select it and and didn't select humph the the biggest um the biggest loss was 10 points and yeah sorry it wasn't 10 from 13 I got that wrong it was seven from the last 10 yeah right still solid seven from 10 is great still a side addicted to two points yeah absolutely uh manly hump the taret we just do yeah it's not even clut I think you got the hot right now as I said I think you just you are addicted to winning Tigers got their last wi of the season last week in my opinion and I think we H what about the spoon ball potentially happen in the give it to me we were thinking about doing some content give it to me we've we deserve a spoon ball yeah we deserve one we like I don't know like maybe a live show or something again not confirming that we will do but maybe maybe we deserve one the people deserve a spoon bow so good could be one of the great Friday nights you go go spoon bow into sou roosters so good that's Friday night footy that is Friday night as it was intended yep um yeah manly Warriors vers Bulldogs but remember Warriors sj's last home game it's it's sha Johnson Stadium imagine getting a Stadium named after you for just a day it's a sha Johnson Stadium so New Zealand win in my opinion I just yeah listen I I choose to be Pro fairy tale you're pro pro vibe in y AR I'm Pro fairy tale and the always happen I get that I understand but I am Pro fairy tale and the fairy tale slightly extends to next week his last ever game is going to be at Shark Park he played for them for what three three or four years so those are his last two games wow pretty good it's crazy to think we're never going to see SJ again that's crazy isn't it isn't it w that sucks um Broncos versals Bronx please come on boys just get it done d d come on uh Raiders versus Panthers Panthers um storm V Dolphins storm dolphins are $4.95 I wonder what the line is there7 and half a juicy line there huge line um Rabbid o versus Knights sure the knights doing it for o they're doing it for OB C to otherwise oh [ __ ] um 15 and a half for that Dolphins game I don't mind that throw you know I like I like to throw in a line like a big line and a couple of anytimers that's juicy for me I got a couple last week I think it like paying like 10 bucks or something and it was a line plus the mini timers and it was hotot stuff good for you bro um Titans vers roosters CHS uh St George vers sharks where do you see the Sharks this year are they Pretenders or are they real deal Pretenders Pretenders yeah I think so what if they beat Manley mate week before finals the spots are probably locked up no one cares I re there's a chance the sharks get lost lost again for 30 row could you imagine so I think they're Pretenders I really do wow do you rate them I just think that I'm I'm torn cuz I I do think that there's a part of me that's like I want to see a bit more from them but at the same time like they're [ __ ] in the top four I don't I feel like they don't get the appreciation they deserve yeah because people think they're Pretenders cuz for the last two years they finished off from lost loss yeah but they top five last year I think I think they fifth or sixth last year but fifth last year they got they got B okay fifth but like this it's not like their roster is a hectic roster no it's not hectic no I just punch they way they do well I think they punch above their way they top four I don't think anyone's scared of them in finals time that's what I and like since fit's come over they've come second Fifth and most likely fourth like that's [ __ ] mad yeah he's mate solid really solid they just do scare anyone at final I think dragons upset him here though really I think there's a FL I think sharks have won the last 10 but Flo it's the flo cup it's the flano cup he had some words to say he literally said two days ago he doesn't know who's playing this week oh I know [ __ ] loved it though I'm like Shane that's genius that's genius I it we know he knows everyone knows your line and that's part of the fun M I respect the [ __ ] out of it I really did
