The run-home is now on Fox League and Co Sports on Monday afternoons from 5pm.

And the ratings have just been gone through the roof bears here.

We've just beat Pepper Peak.

But we are here.

So a couple of things I want to start the show with.

Brookvale oval, good memories, bad memories, different pitch than you used to

and the box that we're in for the commentary, the thoughts.

Get out everyone out there in Radio Land.

So I do like exploring places that I've never been.

I have been to Brookvale oval many, many times.

Haven't been up here in this box.

Now, we're on the western side of this beautiful looking stadium.

To the left of me is the new stadium.

This was a spestos hill.

I'm not a stand.

That's where they found this.

And then you go down to the right.

And it's the...

Is that the Clifford stand?

I think it's the beaver.

Oh, yeah.

Clifford and Men's East.

We're now we're up here in these boxes.

And now I've always heard other radio types and TV types saying,

oh, Brookvale oval.

It's a little bit outdated.

Well, yeah, it is a little bit outdated in here.

It feels like I'm calling from Broken Hill.

But it's very...

It's Rugby League Heartland.

Yeah.

It's Rugby League Heartland.

There's a little bit of culture about it.

There's a bit of culture about it.

It's everything's fiber.

Which I think, if we rip that off,

there's a spestos for sure.

Fiber is non-fiber.

So that's sort of ghee.

But it's good to be over here.

Yeah.

And the field looks great.

And I've just found out the curator.

Jay Namu.

Yeah.

Former Manly.

Former Warriors 58.

Former Tamadamal.

Man of the Warriors in 96, 97.

Jean Namu.

He was...

Nicky.

Yeah.

And my junior and my dad's time.

They were just kids coming through.

He's the curator out here.

And so he's done a fantastic job.

So I'm looking forward to this.

It's the crowd.

Obviously not...

No one here yet.

It's everyone out here.

But it's pitch looks dry.

The sun's out.

And it's about 26 degrees here.

How good is the pitch now in comparison to when...

Well, that's what I said to him.

Yeah.

I said, do you know what I'm doing?

I said, how do you fix this?

How do you fix the...

I was asking about the footy stadium.

He said, well, what happened was the turf that they got was out west.

And at the time when it was laid, we had all those floods out west.

And so all the stuff was stuck to the bottom.

And I think he called it silt.

Yes.

I was really paying attention.

Okay.

But he said, that's the reason why.

Yeah.

Which when you lay it, you've got to get it perfect.

It's like painting.

It's like preparation is everything.

So you need what...

Would you need 72 Ls?

Is it just sun?

Dry?

No rain?

So they laid it because they were in a bit of a rush.

And it just didn't take.

That's why the draining is just the water sits on it.

But yeah, this...

The Brookie Aval is looking absolutely at treat.

It went from a heavy pitch to probably the quickest pitch in the league now.

Yeah.

So the, you know, even dating back to the years,

there's all the stories when I arrived in 13 about Desi just making it heavy,

wetting certain sides out of the field.

He wanted the long grass because it would take the juice out of plays when they're...

They would arrive from other fields that were this level now,

or probably not even as good as it is now.

And it used to be a shock to the system for the away teams when they arrived

because it was so heavy that they were trained on.

But how many days would you train on this?

We only did captains run on it.

Yeah.

And we trained it never been...

Yeah, wake us, parkway.

Gotcha.

Okay, so that was all employed by the man professor.

Yeah.

You probably couldn't get away with it now.

No way.

No way.

No way.

It was not professional standards.

It's just funny how like when you watch games of the 80s and 90s

and you look at the pitch.

You look at the field.

You shouldn't say pitch.

It's a soccer terminology.

American terminology.

You look at the field and it was just sand and patchy.

Now, obviously the more money is coming to the game.

So every grant...

If you're not up to scratch...

Yeah.

It's fantastic out here today.

Yeah, it's going to be beautiful.

Great conditions.

You know me, the weatherman, for a spazid.

Yes.

I've got a prediction on the weather right now.

How we got to look?

Well, speaking of which, we got a text that just came through.

And it's from Berkeley Eagles.

Scopey Fletcher.

It started raining in Dapto.

Very dark clouds above.

It's coming up here.

We're looking okay here at the moment, Berkeley Eagles.

So hopefully that misses us here on the northern beaches.

I don't know whether it's the humidity in this box that I'm in.

I'm stuck in.

So there's four men in here.

We've got Michi.

Yeah.

And we've got Raul.

The bonus.

Diaz Muchachos.

Raul is our technical man who actually comes from...

Yeah, it's Galapagus Island.

Yeah.

Which, and I was chatting to him about the narcos.

Yeah, okay.

And it was heavy.

We're not going to talk about that because we might get shot.

Anyway, Raul was a comedian back in the day.

Yeah.

I've seen some clips with Raul.

So if there's anyone out there...

Michi, actually you should take him up for a open mic with that.

Do a gig together.

Yeah, you can do it in Spanish.

Maybe in the next outbreak we'll get the best joke from you.

There we go.

He's doing some mime and stuff.

Yeah, how good.

Have you...

Your kids...

Your daughter's a little bit older.

But I've watched...

There's a Disney show called Up.

Have you heard of the movie Up?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Raul reminds me of the old fella.

But the Hispanic version.

Isn't this a market for us?

Yeah.

Getting into that.

What's on the show today?

Well, I just want to ask you what happened this morning, mate.

Because we got the listeners to give us tips.

We're supposed to go to the fish and chips shop today.

I guess there are probably listeners.

What was our man's name from Narrowbeam?

Paul from Narrowbeam?

Paul from Narrowbeam?

Gavis the recommendation.

Yeah.

I got a text from you.

He said about 830 boys and apologies.

Fish and chips shop off.

Yeah.

What happened?

I was seconded to...

I had to do something else.

But I had a golf lesson in the morning.

But that was always locked in.

Okay.

And I was going to finish.

Yeah.

But I had a...

I was seconded because I've got the girls at home.

Their locks are all bugged.

So the locksmith said I'm around the corner.

I'll be there at about one o'clock and I said boom.

Seconded.

Good word.

Seconded.

Yeah.

But I got a golf lesson today and it's completely stuffed me.

Yeah.

He's a Mickey.

If you want to get less and go and say Christian out at Bonnie Dune,

I mean the beast I went and we've got a lot of problems.

Yeah.

But I'm going to get through it.

Did you...

Bonnie Dune, do they have a specific area?

Or do you go and play and you get the play?

We played about six holes.

Oh, nice.

But you should chat and talk.

He makes it very simple.

Yeah.

Very, very simple.

But what was the main tip that you think you've been doing wrong?

Well, I've got that rank fade from left to right.

Yeah.

And he says you don't want that.

He said if anything, you want to go left all the time.

Yeah.

Because then you can straighten it up.

Yeah.

Because it's easier to go right.

Yeah.

Most golfers, most rank golfers, anyway, have that slice.

Slice fade.

Yeah.

And he said it's very hard to get the right to left.

It's hard when they talk you out of it though, right?

Because then you go...

It's an easy option.

Yeah.

But you want to get comfortable getting uncomfortable as they say in the grades.

If it doesn't change...

If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.

Yeah.

I've got a couple of back-to-back clichés.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Um, bed look out.

I'm coming.

I'm coming for you.

And just on this weather, guys, it doesn't look great.

It doesn't look...

Is it just because of the humidity in...

Oh, okay.

It's coming from the southwest.

Uh, Dubbo now is...

It's pouring out of Dubbo.

That doesn't look like it's going to be cis.

It doesn't look like it.

Uh, Canberra is going to get whacked.

And my...

I'm thinking in probably...

By the way, it's looking probably right about kickoff.

Yeah.

Uh, last year when they played here at Four Pines,

we were talking about this.

I don't know if it was yesterday or Wednesday.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, sorry.

Well, yesterday was Wednesday.

Um, you're talking about the torrential rain in which the roosters are mainly played in last year.

Okay.

It was early on the year.

I was...

No, it was around 22.

What's it that late?

Yeah.

I was out here for the gotcha tap.

Okay.

Yep.

The gotcha...

That's, uh, Gussie Walland.

Guss Walland, yep.

Which is a great charity.

And because the chooks...

This is when the chooks take off...

They take off their sponsorship.

I mean, I'm not...

I'm not sponsored by UniBet, but it's a good cause.

They take off UniBet on their jerseys and they put the gotcha for life.

Oh, how good is that?

Anyway, I was watching...

This is where I was watching Teddy.

And this is where I got appreciation of what fullbacks have to do.

Yeah.

Back in the day, you just had this minute...

You had a minute cello just all in your back here.

You know, shut up, Mini.

Like talking.

But...

Because you don't want to turn around.

But what they do.

Yeah.

Far out of your ransom yards.

Yeah.

Anyway, they didn't handle the wet that day.

The manly side didn't handle the wet.

So...

I remember Brett Stewart used to jam me up all the time.

He used to know I get...

He used to get flustered.

And I used to overthink things.

And I was always fighting for my position and all that.

So he used to go...

In the game.

This is when we'll travel.

Yeah.

This is like the 13 of 14 playing good footy at the time.

And he would sort of try to trick me by going,

I was like, how's he left?

I was like, as I'm trying to get back on side.

Like, he would just do little things like that.

And then I would...

Once I would get to a break, I'd be all flustered and...

Yeah, yeah.

And get to him and...

I'd be able to lose my head and he would just be laughing at me.

Just jam me up.

You must've been in the towering sides up there.

Yeah, yeah.

You'd have to be traveling at that point of the game.

But, yeah, because I think...

I remember there, like, one specific time where...

I got in trouble in video for flipping to the wrong side of...

The rock.

Yeah.

And, you know, taking the soft...

Soft option should have gone to the open...

Yeah, it's hang on the blind.

Chill, chill on the short side.

Four on three.

He's a good ballpark.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, like, the way that they bark and carry on

when you're at the fullback position,

and it may...

By a country mile,

if you don't have a good defensive fullback in the modern game,

you don't know.

You're done.

Dillon Edwards, James Codesco,

they're relieved that that's why they're the best fullbacks.

Okay, what about Cyclone?

Cyclone?

Yes, Cyclone's really good at it as well.

I've noticed Sua is quite...

Sua Falongo is quite vocal.

Yep, Sua needs a little bit of work.

Yeah.

While she could probably be better at fullback.

I say, Yonge's working his back side.

This...

You're just getting to places on the field,

eye counting numbers, kicks,

and following the ball.

Because my understanding of a fullback

was you just had to be one pass inside the ball.

Yeah, yeah, no.

The way I reckon the most important part now is

identifying as best they can,

which side the ball's not going to go.

Yes.

Getting on that side for them to create the extra number

and making sure they're getting their numbers right

on the side where the ball's gone,

whether that's short side or open.

Yeah.

Just identifying the threat is the best way to put it in there.

Have you seen what Penneth do?

Penneth put Dillon Edwards in the line.

Yeah.

For a couple of tackles.

Yep.

And then he'll take off.

What's on the show today?

Okay, we'll be catching up with

Manly Legend, Karen Forron,

DCEs, one of DCE's best mates,

Rachel and I retired, played for the Kiwi.

He's 109 games here for Manly in the NRL.

So, oh, he played 190 with DCE.

So, who better to talk to about,

or with, then fozzy about what DCE

would be feeling right now, getting ready for this game?

We will also be doing our Coopers,

PDs, Classic Match, the 1997 Prelim Final.

You can just cut that.

No.

I'm all over the top.

Yeah, Cooper PD.

Cooper PD.

So quickly.

Cooper PD.

Cooper PD.

Easy.

Yeah.

The 1997 Prelim Final between Manly and Roosters,

will we also chatting to Embele Legend, Derek Rucker,

to chat all things, Kings and 36's.

It's the second Final on Friday night,

and that will be a beauty as well.

Our prizes today, we've got the Signal Boost Power Bank,

valued at $49.95.

Michi is here, as we mentioned before.

We've got buckets.

Oh, buckets.

You're a Manly local, aren't you?

Despite rooting for the West Tigers.

Yes.

I know that area.

Are you born and raised?

Yes.

Are you born and raised, man?

I'm out of our radar.

I'm out of our radar.

I'm out of our radar.

And how did the Tigers gig happen again?

So my dad's parents, my grandparents,

grew up in Belman,

and then moved to Northern Beaches.

Did you have a soft spot for the Manly team?

No, I never saw it.

2003.

So this is where my hatred comes.

So I used to play, this is a bit of a Bruce.

I used to play it half time at the Manly Games.

As a kid.

As a junior.

That's what were you cheerleading?

Yeah, pretty much.

And then when I,

so we'd obviously shake all the players' hands,

and dad would pull me to the side and make me go wash my hands

and say, you can't have dirty, manly hands.

And that's where the hatred becomes.

I'm just getting back on this.

It's council there, isn't it?

So effectively,

if you're a rate payer over here,

could you use the rubbish bins

to your legal dumping?

Because I'm just, I've got bins everywhere.

If you're a local.

Well, isn't that the point?

And you're not supposed to dump on any bins,

but your own?

Is that what legal dumping is?

Now, my go,

this is my theory that if you live in the area

and you put,

you're in the LGA,

you pay council rates.

Such a,

you can use council rate bins.

Okay.

That's your theory.

You don't know if that's law,

but that's your theory.

I don't know whether it's law,

but I know there is a,

a rubbish tax that they work on to it.

Yep.

Under your council.

Hey, did you see that coming,

the message coming through from 439.

Cyclone last week,

where is he?

Hudson Young got four daily endpoints.

Cyclone only got three.

What?

He didn't get the six.

Or 12.

That's what we're talking about last week, right?

It's a maximum of six.

Six.

Six.

But yeah, he only got three.

So either one person gave him three

or he got a two and a one,

which is,

that's what I've been saying, mate.

So make him accountable.

Name and shame.

Well,

I'd know.

I know one guy.

I know three.

How many games do they have to do?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think there's a crew of maybe 10,

oh,

anywhere between 10 to 20.

Yeah.

And then they rotate.

So hang on.

Dummy says,

he said, sorry,

I just saw the insta.

Are you guys sitting on vacant?

Dummy, it feels like it.

Yeah.

The crew and Buzz was the coach here,

and he had to go and get chairs and stuff,

because they had none.

What?

Did he have to go to a,

now I thought he went to an old classroom.

That's what Dummy is alluding to.

Yeah.

Anyway.

Okay.

Well, it's the weather.

Doesn't look good.

So they're saying that this storm may hit probably

at about 6.30 now.

And they're expecting about 40 millimetres of oil.

So this could get a little wet.

It's pretty echoes.

Get onto the bomb, everyone.

All right.

So Statsy, as I'm just going to the text line,

he Statsy Reckons Rain is going to hit fresh yet,

fresh water around 6 pm.

Okay.

Well, you know, they're saying 6.30 here.

Yeah.

It's right over the middle.

Yuck.

Okay.

Well, let's take a break,

and on the other side,

news headlines.

Welcome back to the Run Home.

This is the Traiti Hour.

Exclusive offers for tradis on Australia's

leading air conditioner brands.

Only a Blue Star air conditioning buckets.

It's news headlines time.

It's the Run Home news headlines.

By the way, there's a before you get into it.

Feed on the way,

because we didn't have fish and chips.

What you ended up getting.

Okay.

Well, this is by beta mine off.

So when you see a sign,

then you keep seeing it.

That's what beta mine is.

It's a syndrome.

So I was driving behind a truck that said,

KFC, F-L-G.

And I went,

oh, I just caught my attention.

About two minutes later,

I see the sign.

You know, when you come off,

when you came over the spit,

and I was too.

Yeah.

Bruxie's one, Bill Gellon.

I went in there.

Yeah.

I also did, did Bruxie implant that too?

Did he?

No.

I had to fasten it into your...

Well, since I've been on the fast,

I had to drop an Edgar.

Somebody had to stop anyway.

I stopped.

I went in there.

And dropped one.

I had to get on the shield,

it was Nebraska.

Oh, apologies.

Evie.

And then it just came at me.

It just was a Zinger combo,

and I just went,

booze, mountain dew,

salt and pepper.

And I said to him,

how far, how long,

because what I need to know is,

I always do this.

This is a bit of a hack.

Excuse me, how long will it take

for a Zinger to be cooked?

Yeah.

And they look,

and they always look to see

if there's already pre-made ones.

Yeah.

I want freshly made.

Yes.

And she said,

I'll be about five minutes.

I want boom.

Perfect.

Lock it in.

Boots, mountain dew,

chips,

heaps, salt and pepper.

And I'll have to go to the brass gown

about half an hour.

Donnie, by the way,

I went to Crazy Chicks.

He must be a likely,

we brought up Crazy Chicks,

chicken burger,

chips and gravy.

Boots.

All right.

What have you got here?

You want to use that one?

No, I'm fine.

Okay.

But this is, this is,

speaking about fast food,

not to say the KFCs,

not much chop,

but now look,

listen to this.

New research shows,

moderately high cholesterol levels,

are linked to extreme longevity.

For decades,

bad cholesterol,

which is the LDL,

has been cast as the villain

of hard health,

with standard advice being

the lower,

the better.

However,

groundbreaking research

in long-lived communities,

like Sardinia,

is turning the narrative

on its head,

with scientists calling it

a cholesterol paradox.

So data from these populations

show that older individuals

with moderately higher LDL levels,

around 130 milligrams,

slash DLs,

or more frequently,

live longer,

than those with lower readings,

rather than being

purely harmful,

LDL appears to serve

as a crucial biological reserve

in the elderly,

supporting vital immune functions,

hormone production,

and cell repair

as the body ages.

So we've always been told,

if you get high cholesterol,

you've got to have these statins.

Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist,

but there's a lot of literature out there,

from pharmaceutical companies,

big pharmaceutical companies,

that they keep us sick,

so they can make a lot of money.

Now, I'm not getting involved

with that because I'm not too sure of it,

but other than before and different.

I've also heard from health gurus,

saying that high cholesterol

is actually more beneficial.

Now, this is a...

So what part of their diet and nutrition

that they have is in Italy,

Sardinia, do you...

Olive oil, that lot of olive oil.

Pizza, pasta, all that sort of...

Well, Sardinia, not so much pasta.

Sardinia is down south.

Sardinia is down south.

There are more into the fish and stuff,

which is what they say.

Is Sardinia, is there a type of...

Sardines?

Yes.

Sardines popular in Sardinia.

I'm not too sure of it.

Good thing.

They could be.

Righto buckets.

Get that idea.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, Jason.

Yes, I did try the liquid gold sauce.

From KFC, FLG.

I wonder what it was.

What is it?

It's a Mickey, yeah.

It's like a mayo chili.

It's a...

I'm Michael.

Sorry, buckets.

Yeah, the liquid gold sauce

is a mix of the peppermale and supercharge.

Oh, well.

Got me going.

All right.

Well, my little news headline is

the Tolerock Hotel in Victoria

started a raffle giving away

20 litre Jerry cans of diesel

instead of meat trays.

Oh.

Yes, I did see this one.

Okay.

So the owner highlighted

that it's important,

the importance of kindness and fun

during tough times.

So is his plan to extend the raffle

to other pubs in the region.

Instead of meat trays on a Friday,

diesel cans, 20 litres.

Yeah.

I still like a meat tray.

What would you like?

Listen, would you prefer the meat tray?

What's it going to cost you?

60 bucks.

Yeah.

It's a sign of the time.

So people started...

No, no, but...

People start the panic with the petty.

I know, but a good meat tray is such a...

The best.

You've got something to...

It's the best.

I liked it.

Anyway.

Yeah, well, that's...

Yeah, you're right.

I have $3.16.

I saw it this morning.

When's it going to stop?

Make it stop.

We were talking about the cattle dog.

If you remember the cattle dog,

St. Clair.

Oh, yes, yeah.

You went out of the walking court.

Yeah.

If you...

Meat trays down there were the Michael.

You got a good meat tray

from there.

You sorted for the next couple of days.

I do have a new set line.

My one involves Brooksy's man,

LeBron James.

Now, there's an imagery getting around

and this probably, you know,

wouldn't surprise many who love their MBA.

But there is a picture that has just resurfaced

or I guess, you know, people being made aware of.

J.J. Redick is his current head coach,

you know, the Lakers.

Yeah.

He's recently retired maybe four or five years,

played against LeBron through large portions of his career.

He was actually wearing one of LeBron's

signature shoes when he was in college.

Oh.

Is LeBron older than his dude?

He would be right.

That's similar.

It must be very similar.

Ah, so he's...

Ah, that's awkward.

Yep.

So, uh, look at that.

That's him given telling LeBron what to do.

What?

Absolute weapon.

Ben around.

You got to appreciate it, don't you know?

So, um, all right.

That's news headlines.

Let's get to Amy with the Real News.

Thank you, Amy.

Welcome back to the Run Home with Fletch and Scope.

All thanks to EmberX, footy tipping content,

Head to West Headquarters.

This ends that day for two up and a special tribute honoring

local service families.

All right.

Bear's head.

Here we are.

We've talked a little bit about the pitch out here,

the weather conditions.

Um, actually factoring in the weather,

um, you, did you originally have the roosters

and are you happy to stay with them?

I'm still going to the chooks.

Yeah.

I'm still going to the chooks.

Um, but they're not going great as you saw last week.

So, they've had a hundred points scored against them already.

Now, this is a term that's proud of self on defense.

Um, and defense wins championships.

Yeah.

It does catch us when matches.

So, they'll need a big effort because

mainly going to be super desperate and coming off the buy, too.

Do you think I won one last little question just on the line-ups?

Hugo Savala has been named amongst the six men bench.

Yep.

Uh, there have been people who've talked about Hugo potentially,

at least while that daily cherry Evans is here,

playing a little bit of a hybrid role,

um, playing a little bit of luck.

He's definitely a big enough body.

Yeah.

Could you envision that for Robo at all in this game,

or maybe is that something that that's a weight and sea

and further on down there?

Yeah.

Well, I know he's come back.

He's good enough to be in the squad somewhere.

Yep.

Um, I just don't know where he fits in.

They're going to give D.C.E. and Sammy Walker, obviously,

they're the, the, the two halves they're going to stick with.

He showed last year that he's a very calm head

and he's long kicking guard.

This is what the Chooks had always struggled with.

Um, in previous years, was the long kicking guard.

Sammy, I'd say I'm walking out of Lucuri.

And then all of a sudden,

they get this kid out of nowhere.

But he, he sort of debuted a bit later.

And he was just, he was kicking at 1670 meters,

which allowed field position.

Yep.

Now they got Daly Chair Evans.

You can do that as well.

So, uh, to answer your question, yes,

I can see him as a lock forward.

They've also got Victor Radley coming back in two weeks.

Yeah.

Um, uh, Connor Watson.

Connor Watson.

Well, yeah, he made my life.

I can't go with Connor.

And uh, Hugo.

Yeah.

In the 17.

Um, Bruce.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Six foot five easy hundred kilos.

Yeah, he's a big, big kid.

And a great defender.

You know who, you know who his body shape reminds me of?

The world moves fast.

You work day, even faster, pitching products, drafting reports.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Six foot five easy hundred kilos.

Yeah.

He's a big, big kid.

And a great defender.

Trishing products, drafting reports, analyzing data,

Microsoft 365 Cobylette is your AI assistant for work.

Built into word, exckel, PowerPoint,

and other Microsoft 365 apps you use.

Helping you quickly write, analyze, create, and summarize.

Have could've been a favorite back actually.

I say, yo, oh yeah, it reminds me of Yoey,

then Yoey's now got the footy hardened,

but I was looking at him going,

could he turn into a easily?

Well, he's got the passing game.

You know what, for as many wraps as Nathan gets

and deservedly so, the connection that he has

with Yoey through the middle is as important, I think,

over the years as a connection with Jerome.

Okay, well there you go.

So lock forwards that come through

aren't necessarily ball playing lock forwards.

That takes a score.

I remember when Victor Radley first came in,

he wasn't doing those link plays like it takes,

you know, a couple of years,

well not a couple of years,

but at least a year to get used to doing that skill

because it isn't a natural for bikes

who haven't played in the halves.

I suppose it isn't a sort of a natural play for them,

but Hugo has.

So Hugo's got the passing game,

so if you play him at 13, certainly big enough,

certainly can defend like a lock forward.

It's where the robber wants to take this risk.

Yeah.

Because it is a risk.

It'd be huge risk.

He's never played lock forward in first grade.

He's always come on as a hard side.

Because you remember good,

like people forget,

Isaiah was a winger at a pan-ruth

when he played a lot of time in the centers too.

As a started off on the wing,

but he was probably more so a center in the juniors.

And then he played on the wing to get his debut

and then just slowly moved on in

and people forget this story as well.

I think Isaiah and Nathan Ivan have both talked about it.

He was nearly on the way out

before he shifted into the middle.

Gotcha.

There were conversations where,

all right, it might not be working out.

You might not quite bend edge.

Then all of a sudden they put him in that lock position

and he completely changed the way that people view it.

Yeah, a bit like Jack O'Ford.

Yeah, well he was out.

Yeah, he was out of the dragons as a backrow.

He had to go somewhere else.

And he said, I never played front row.

If you haven't caught up on that,

fascinating chat we spoke with Jackson Ford yesterday

from the Warriors saying that the dragons obviously

didn't think he was a first grader.

Look what he's done now.

There is one player.

Everyone will be, all the mainly fans

are desperate to see Joey Walsh.

I actually want to ask Foszy about Joey Walsh.

Because I'd imagine he's been working really closely with him.

The big, the big bopper that I'm really keen on

and I keep talking about him as much as I can,

I want to see Simeone Lea fire in this game.

Lea Fee, potentially.

Oh, yes.

Big front rower.

Because you know who you're a reminder,

I'll give you a sort of a modern day comp for him

and a team that's been doing well

with the youngster coming off the bench.

The way that Dylan Walker works with Sam Tuivati

from the Paramata eels,

I want Jakey to start working in the semi-owned

drop in the Monday.

Drop in the Monday.

Keeping it on.

Little tip on, get to the four men

or try to tie up a half.

And then you get the best of maybe Fulgady

and all the choir to down a short side

or they do the big shift coming back through, Jakey.

But you know what, you're doing vision that I can?

I can.

And you know the beauty of that.

You get young likes who are really keen.

And I know this sounds awful.

You can use them up.

So you can use like you can, like say,

I don't get, you know,

imagine I'm, I'm Jakey Croposian.

Just get to DCE here.

You run as hard as you can to DCE

and then the last minute just throw it out the back too.

Because young players, when you get a little bit older,

you know sort of he's just gonna use me up here.

That's perfect.

Because that's what I was,

when I was watching Dylan Walker start

against the dragons on the weekend,

he was starting with Junior Barlow.

Yeah, yeah.

The vet.

Yeah.

I think it was Jack Williams or Jermaine Hopp

good one of the two and they'll rotate between them.

Now those guys are veterans.

So they're not as keen to run that tough one.

Correct.

But when you know, I'm not even,

you know, why wouldn't if he gives it to me,

I'm gonna get whacked.

And two of them are just wasting,

you find wasting energy.

So I can just help these bloody backs out.

But when he comes off the Judy Dentist,

it's something to invite.

He's just keen to play first grade.

Correct.

So he's got the veteran.

He's OG.

You'll do whatever you want for it.

Man, I'll run through the brick wall for you.

That's what I wanted.

That's what I wanted to see a bit of semi-owning.

That's where I can envision that work in as well.

So really looking forward to that.

Tommy Turbo also had a chat to the media

presser throughout the week.

He spoke about the clash of DCE returning to Brookfowl.

And we've got some audio from him.

I think they should hear him.

What he's done for this club and, you know,

he's played around in 15 odd games for us

and he's been, you know, one of our all-time greats.

So I'm not going to tell the fans what to do,

but I'd like to think in a tune.

Yeah, not cheering him.

You're burning.

Of course you're going to burn.

Who's one of my best mates?

I'll be burning from here as well.

Like, it's just what Australians do.

It's the theater.

Yeah, it makes it.

It's going to be awesome, too.

Like, there'll be some A grade tour

going to get a little bit over the top.

But of course, as soon as he runs out,

the whole crowd should boo.

Yeah.

I remember when Guthay returned to combat.

I called that game last year as well.

That was awesome.

He was from one side, you had Zach Lomax for the Dragons.

So there was a contingent down the Southern side.

Yep.

And it was a group of about 2,000 Dragons fans.

So every time Guthay got the ball across, you know,

around the stadium boo, the king.

He was the king.

He was the king of power for so long.

And I don't, this is, I don't reckon they would boo him.

If he was kind up there and played for the Titans

and this was the Titans, they're not burning.

Yeah, they're burning because one is the chalk.

Yeah, yeah.

Because they both got history between them, these two clubs.

So he's going to expect it, surely.

Yeah, for sure he would expect to be getting booed.

And I think he'll be smiling, too.

It seems to be.

I think you're relishing it.

Yeah, I think you really will relish in it.

I also, Tommy, there's been a lot of pressure

and chat around his brother Drake this week as well.

And he's what Tommy had to say on his brother Jake.

A little bit disappointed that he is coming on the fire.

I think, you know, he's really gone after the first two weeks

that the way he's played, he's bested defensively.

And you were talking to Ben before about it.

And then a lot of people that watch the game

and let's get caught up in stats

and what you need to do with the ball.

But, you know, it's a real leader for us in defense.

And the way he links our tag together as well.

So, yeah, I really think it's unfair that he is coming

on the criticism.

I think he's been, you know, the way he's gone after these first two

weeks, considering he's coming off of a head

in the last year, it's been great.

So, I think you're going to get better this year.

I love the way they two talk each other.

Because I was lucky enough to play with this

true or brother as well, Brett and Glendale.

And loyalty is a huge part of who they are.

And unlike anyone, right?

What would the journal expect for him?

Is brother to bag you?

Yeah.

Of course not.

But, and what Tom say, it's not just loyalty

with what Tom's saying.

There are so many things that factor

into why Jakey is important for this club.

And I first, no first hand, Jakey was Jake

and Tom were both youngsters when I was here at the club,

but they epitomized everything.

Yeah.

As soon as they arrived, local juniors

were constantly going back to training sessions.

Great, great humans, which is important

because not every, every now and again,

you get a couple of a grades in sports that are best.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And that can cause more damage.

Sometimes you get the minority and that,

and it spreads like they can be a cancer to a club,

especially to young kids.

Yeah.

It's coming through and you get the wrong sort of vibe

of someone.

But now, Jakey, I'll imagine Jakey will play on next year.

Yep.

One more year?

Yeah, I feel one more year.

Do you think one more year?

I think a lot of it would be conversations.

I reckon a huge part is going to be around CEO Jason King.

I've seen those comments before.

Jason King is a multi-premiseship winner here.

Just started in his role.

So, and imagine it would depend on how those conversations go.

As well.

All right, let's take a break now.

We want to get to your text on as well.

Let us know.

Manly fans, are you excited to see DC tonight?

Do you want to ring in a rip in?

You can get us on 1-300-0117 or text in as well.

045-736-736.

This is the run home.

We'll go from Fletch.

Crack.

Shawnee Ormer, I don't know how to hear.

If you can hear the music in the background,

we've got some band, a cover band,

just playing all kiss songs.

You'll find a kiss.

Rank or not rank.

Here they go.

They're going, OK, I think I don't want to say it out loud.

I think that could be a mimeing.

Right.

There's music coming out.

They're just practicing.

But they look good.

They look like rockers.

So, it's going to be half-time in time or pre-intertime.

Anywho, let's get into this.

Where do you want to start?

Maybe a DC.

I want to start with a...

Can I start with a...

Can I start with a weather report from you boys?

So, I've been looked at the radar.

Do you know which way you're facing?

Are you looking west?

East.

Can you tell me what's coming from the...

You're looking at East Ayer.

I'm looking at East Ayer.

Just turning around and telling me what's coming out west, because there's a bit of action

out there.

I'm a bit worried about this weather.

It could get nasty throughout this game, which I'm trying to work out who they're actually

suits.

I'm not sure that really suits the manly seagulls.

Doesn't it?

We've got those fast men out wide.

They need to get the ball into their hands.

Chooks probably their strength is their pack.

I think so.

Might play into the chooks' hands.

Brian Fletcher.

Which way are you letting this go?

Have you got a strong view?

I'm going with the chooks.

It probably enforces my choice, because I don't know if you were listening earlier.

I was out here round 22 last year when I pissed down as well.

The roosters were very good.

Running from dummy half, change of directions, all that wet weather, sort of stuff.

You talk about the roosters having a strong pack.

This manly pack's pretty good as well, so...

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it looks good on paper.

It looks good on paper.

When you're marrying up side by side, there's probably not a great deal, but you just need

to see something from them, like heard your boys talking about Jake sort of being dragged

through the mud all this week.

But they have to turn up A for him, B, you've got, you know, you form a captain turning

up in the opposition colors, but they just have to be up for it.

The crowd has to boo.

They've got to do everything they can to try and get into it.

That, although I kind of agree with Scopey, I reckon he sort of feels like they're not

knowing him just outside of looking in, but he feels a sort of character that might actually

play into his hands.

So, we'll wait and see.

For those that want to get around cherry, $3.40 any time trascourer, or can you see a lot,

you're the, you're the doy end of last trascourer's brine, $15.

That could be the match winner, maybe, in a low scoring game if we're this around.

Imagine if cherry scored the match winner at a propeller tonight.

Can you imagine they do the joint?

Does he want to go the, does he want to score at the Bob Fulton stand end or the line's

men'sy stand?

What, what do you reckon would get the bigger reaction from the crowd?

Oh, where, where do the, where do the animals, where do the animals sit?

What, what, what, what on the layup?

Well, they're, they're all in the hill, but I think they're, they're the animals, there

could be animals, yeah, in the Belver end, the clipping, but with this rain coming, what

about the undis and overs?

What's done there?

Yeah, it's big, what, you know, so last week the, the closing title was six from eight

undis against the closing title, but for those that, that shopped early, it was eight from

eight, and it looks at pretty big numbers tonight as well, given the weather under $47.5

kind of jumping off the page, we know that Chilks attack is far from humming at this

point, mainly again, they're, they're pretty, well they're stuttering, I think all they,

all they need right now is a, is two points, doesn't matter how they get it, so it could

be a scrappy old affair, you got the rain is upside, 47.5 looks, looks a little bit punchy

to me.

Yeah, and this rain, I just had a look out west too, a face west, you can see, yeah, this

rain is getting, it's getting correction, anything else you want to look at mate over the

weekend?

Well, Battle of Brisbane is obviously the other big one, no, they're quite real, quite

weak up at, in Brisbane for the Broncos, Pain Haas before he was ruled out, they were

six and a half point favourites, now we're just three and a half, so pretty big move just

off the back of him.

I think this is a dead set toss the coin, this one, the Dolphins is still getting about

225 for them head to head, they were super impressive last week, they're forwards, they just,

they just tied the big sharkies boys out and then fired a couple of shots late in the

first half and second half, and if they do that with only Paddy Carrigan being able to

punch out those big minutes, they reckon they're a big sight and you get, you get good

ball for the fins, if he could tell, he's doing, he's seeing that back on, he's unbelievable,

so, it could be a few points in that one, I reckon the fins might be a little bit.

Awesome.

Thank you very much, Shawnee, and don't forget, after our show tonight, I gather on

side, we'll be following us, is that correct?

Give that dial on Fox League, check it out.

Good on you mate, see you guys.

Alright boys, take care.

Welcome back to the run home with scope and fledged our bed, got the text line, 0457-736-736-736.

Yeah, Western Sydney Eagle, we're talking about DC, he's getting booed, remet misses from

the Eagle.

Remember when Jamie Live played against Para for mainly at Para Stadium, the Para fans

were throwing coins at him, great stuff.

We don't even condone throwing stuff.

No, just booing.

Yeah, just boo, booze, booze plenty.

Hondie was telling that story on, you showed the other week, wasn't he?

What?

About, you know, Jamie Lein coming back, ends him?

No, what a listen.

Yeah, you weren't listening to that bit?

No, I don't think anyone was listening.

He just waffles on and on.

He used to be like, in video, trying to just come up with these ranked jokes, no one's

listening, no one's paying attention, but because they just never hit, I found it hilarious.

Yeah, it was the best.

I've told him, I've tried to teach him about comedy, and it's all in the timing.

Just leave it to you, Bear said.

I said, no, it's in the timing.

Just leave it to you.

This is the run home with scope and fledge coming up after the break, or a little bit later

on, we'll be chatting to Manly Legend, Keirin Foreign.

Yeah, welcome back to the second hour of the run home with scope and fledge.

With thanks to Brighton's Lawyers, that's expert legal advice you can trust.

We are coming to you live from four points, and Fletchie is absolutely frothing at.

He's loving his time here in this well air conditioned booth with our men rule in the

background.

Well, the booths, I'll take so great, but the ambiance out here, the field looks in great

Nick.

I mentioned earlier, the curator, who's Jean Narmour, former Manly 5.8, and Worry is

5.8.

He's done a terrific job here.

Kiwis 5.

About a quick update on the weather front, it's saying it will hit here approximately

at 5.45, between 5.45 and 5.55, is when we'll see the first rain drops keep falling on

my head.

Gotcha.

It's going to get real heavy, probably about 6.30.

It's nice out there.

Yeah, when we, when you leave the John Wilkes, you're sweet.

It's just in here.

It's a little bit claustrophobic.

In here.

Fletchie, yeah.

That's rank, yeah.

So you could imagine, maybe I've just been used to being now in the media for, I've done

the two shows.

I did find it at the stadium.

Actually, I've done three.

Aliens is sweet, though.

Aliens is Mickey and Combanks Mickey, but they're obviously new.

Yeah.

So I am now petitioning for, even though I'm not a male supporter, I'm petitioning

this side, I didn't use that.

Well, you know what, mate?

I can't wait until you come down and do a camera with me before.

Oh, it's a camera.

So, a camera is ranker than this?

Yeah, a camera.

I would say, yeah, there's two versions of the box in camera, you've got, we're next

to the referees, and I can, that's done on purpose as well.

The little boxes that we've got at camera, if you're in the main part, you're sweet.

Gotcha.

There's another part, another media part that's, that's all good, but yeah, there is, there

is a rank part as well.

Because my understanding, and now, again, I'm not quite political, but the seats out in

pan wrath, that's why they got their stadium because it's a swing seat.

So if, if, in the area of the electorate, if they're safe, they don't bother spending

money.

Gotcha.

On stuff like this.

They want the votes.

Yep.

Hence why they're done pan wrath.

Got a camera.

They must, must be a safe seat, so they don't give a rat.

Gotcha.

I can't tell.

I don't know.

It is, is over here.

What?

No genuine competition for us.

No, so they say, well, we don't have to spend money here, because we're going to, we're

going to shit it in anyway.

All right.

Is it, imagine if you, if the manly board owners got someone, you know, got the manly

faithful to get behind a, who's the member out here?

Can someone tell me who the member, Jamie Rogers was going for it?

Oh, is it Zali?

Is it Zali, Zali Stegel, the skier?

Is she the, oh, someone's someone in the background, uh, just agreeing with it?

Yeah.

Get us on the text line, 0457736, 736, uh, yeah, you've got a couple coming through.

Anyway, so you can catch up on the run home show with the, uh, Joel and Fletch podcast

and subscribe to the run home YouTube channel as well, uh, coming in alive from profiles,

we said, we'll be catching up with Keir and Forren, either as well, really looking forward

to that.

Yeah.

So he's not here yet.

I'd imagine he's, uh, what time does he get in?

Uh, well, uh, if it's an eight o'clock start, normally in hour and a half players arrive,

I would say two hours before the game.

So we'll probably get him about on the way, maybe get a, he's just, just around the corner

here.

So it's only a five minute commute.

I've mentioned like being a Joey Walsh and you're an upper coming half and you're got

Keir and Forren as your halves coach.

Do you know how always that would, that would just be like heaven.

I always describe Keir and to this two, uh, Keir and like this to people who are in 40

circles or even if you just want to know, you know, a lot of people want to know about

the big in those specifically daily and Keir and Keir and I even remember this even,

like Keir and I always felt like a vet.

Yeah.

Even though he was two or three years younger than me, he felt like a vet.

Is he younger than you?

He's younger than me.

Yeah.

He felt like a vet.

I always felt like he was five years older than me.

And also the younger generation, I'm talking, uh, ten years under, uh, Foszy, you go around,

you go around the league.

He's a, he's your favorite footy player, his favorite player.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

There's, there's so much respect for him around the league because he is where he would,

yeah, he would take the ball to to that line knowing he's going to get absolutely impressed.

He did it for me so many times, mate.

He also did it for such a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like your body just must.

I mean, I remember the repetition of just getting hammered.

There was a game that I watched before I arrived and I was just watching it as a fan

and this before we had zero relationship.

Yeah.

And I was watching him and, and a lot of people remember it because it's on the highlights.

They went against the Titans.

A big set of tag-a-tees.

Oh, yeah.

Two or three times in the, in the same game, absolutely licked him.

And that's how he made his name.

We had Fos on the show last week and he got up, you know, he got flattened and he just

gave, every time he goes, I, he goes, I was winded and I felt like my shoulder dislocated

but I knew I just had to get up.

And that's, you're right.

You don't hear a bad word spoken of me in Fos in that sense, like he always, this is

what rugby league is.

The rugby league is a contact sport where he just took it to the end of the gory getting

whacked.

But in saying that, going back to my previous point, it, it manly can keep that joey

Welsh here and he can keep here and here as your, is there, is there anyone else better?

It's so good.

I mean, it's, it's, yeah, hopefully that, that all works for him.

Yep.

Alright, let's get into some NRL news buckets.

It's an NRL news update.

Thanks to Roger's Willacks.

Need a horse float?

Roger's Willacks builds a range of standard horse floats, including miniature floats.

Visit rogerswillacks.com.au

Alright, Cooper Clark, Melbourne storm.

I set to lock in rising star Cooper Clark on a multi million dollar deal.

It's a long term extension, potentially keeping the 19 year old all the way until the end

of 2031.

Clark has impressed early in his debut NRL season and his keen to be a part of the storm's

future, prompting the club to move quickly to secure him, really smart work from Melbourne

in my opinion.

Yeah, I bet it because he looks a real player.

So when they do this, now I'm going to ask you because you quite clue on this part.

They, they, I mean, it's only been four rounds or three rounds and they've seen enough.

Do you feel just the three games?

So there's that saying, you know, train like Tarzan, playing like Jane.

He doesn't do that.

No.

So do you feel that they've said, right, oh, well, you've had three, if any had three rounds.

Bus.

I can, for sure, the way he started his NRL career is a big part of it.

But he's also been at the, he won a, he's been in the system for two years now.

Yep.

He won a Jersey flag, a grandfather for them, potentially, last year, you got to feel as

well.

I did.

But he's, he's, this is the reason I reckon they're looking to lock him up.

I remember Bruce, Ken Munster, we're chatting to him about it.

And he said, it was raven about Cooper Clark in the preseason.

He goes a bit that Cameron and the rest of the club loved the most about him.

His big fat heap.

Yeah, that's right.

A couple of years ago.

He was a fiddle.

Now he leads the conditioning.

Okay.

So he goes, when it comes to a yo, yo, yo, testing five minute Broncos, all that stuff,

he goes, it's money, normally it's money in Harry and he mentioned one other player anyway.

The fourth person was Cooper Clark.

Okay.

So they whack all that in together and then they just wait, they just buy their, they sort

of keep their powder dry and they go right, oh, and they've seen enough up to three rounds.

I've noticed he hasn't missed many tackles.

I would look at his stats.

He's not, I mean, he's with the ball in hand, he's, yeah, he looks good.

I remember the, the early parts of, he got onto the field early in that game against

Paramatter.

And he does all the little things right.

Yeah.

He's talking about X players, you can probably identify one percent as a little bit better,

but kick pressure.

Yeah.

I get into third man into a tackle when other people just retreat.

They're worried about the six again rule.

He just does all the little things right that Melbourne have just, you know, almost, they've

been the leaders of that.

Exactly.

What's, what's are they three year deal?

No, they're looking to, he's already contracted through to 2028.

So they want to extend another three on top of that.

So they want to lock him up until 2031.

Awesome.

Awesome.

So there's some other kids out there.

Yep.

Okay.

Well, all right.

Let's do this.

Well, Cooper buy.

He was at a bit of a tug of war.

Yep.

Zane Harrison at the Goldie, Joey Walsh, Jackson Purdue, well, the Jackson Purdue thing.

Apparently it's done.

Is it done?

Well, we were saying this last week we're going to be careful in North Queensland.

Yeah.

Because someone will come under, but apparently it's, it's a, it's a done deal.

Three or four years.

Yes.

Awesome.

So just church, you know, like there might be people sitting back, not

understanding how the salary cap works and it's going to continue to rise.

So maybe the way that they view what a 750,000 dollar player will be different.

And it might be this bears that it would probably be 500 to the first year, 600 to second

year.

Eight.

And then be all right.

Yep.

This one here.

We've got a tax from Belters.

A bears head.

You can stick Sydney up your ass.

I parked in a loading zone in a commercial vehicle to take an end gun.

Didn't realize you need a ticket for a loading zone.

Belters, yeah.

Not all of them.

There's some secret ones around the city, but yeah, that's how they get you.

They get it with that stupid loading zone.

Sorry, Belters.

Tell us more.

You're from though.

I've got done a couple of times with a loading zone down Kujibai Road once.

And was it a ticket?

No, it wasn't a ticket.

It was a timed one.

But this is where they got me.

They've got, it goes all the way up the start from Kujibai Hotel to the middle part going

up to, what, Malon had the, uh, car street.

Okay.

Kujibai Road.

Kujibai Road through the middle where, yes, the lines of Kujibai Hotel.

So when you start from the bottom, little jack corner in Kujibai Hotel, it goes all the

way to the top.

Anyway, it goes loading zone to 7 a.m., and I had the yut back in these days, right?

So they six again.

For two parking spaces, they changed the signs from 7 a.m. to 6 a.m., and I got done three

times before I realized you got to sus it out.

What about it?

And because you don't get a ticket anymore.

Yes.

So I find out on the app and you can't reload.

It's a month late, and I've gone, I haven't realized.

So I've got, I've gone on to the app and month later, and they've got me birds, birds,

birds.

You know what?

I got pinch ones.

This is the old days when they used to chalk it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was in the yut, and I instead of, instead of going around the block and getting the

same spot, I just rolled forward to smother the chalk, but I still was still one.

And they're like, you saw me do it, and it says, mate, you've, you've stayed too long.

And I said, mate, I haven't.

I moved.

Look, the guys need him.

There's your chalk.

Oh, God.

Oh, it's Benny from Newcastle.

Sorry, Benny.

What about some of these youngsters?

Is there anyone else like Cooperby's extended?

Anyone else sort of stands out?

We're here at Manley now, Joey Walsh and the large brothers here.

Makasani's the one.

Is he on a big deal?

Is he on a long-term deal?

I think.

Fuck it.

Do you know if he's on a long-term here?

No.

He's, they're still trying to negotiate that.

I think they were saying they wanted him and fight, if on a deal worth 6 million between

the two.

Oh, that's right.

Sam Weller.

Because Sam Weller still needs to be done.

OK.

You know who I want?

I want Hamie Stewart and Buchanan and Kouchman and Dylan Egan.

They're my guys.

Egan's done.

Egan, the eagle just got done.

Hamie Stewart's a player.

Yeah.

And I also like Buchanan.

Yep.

I agree.

So if Dragon's, don't let him do it.

Jackson Ford on you.

Please don't do that.

Imagine if Jackson Ford was still the Dragon's now.

And then you had Keon coming next year.

Oh.

Oh, so who they got now as options?

Emory Gullar.

Um, you probably, you probably lose a guy like Blake Lorry.

Um, but then they got young Loco Pacifici Tonga crew.

Yeah.

Helen Gahul.

Helen Gahul.

I forgot about him.

Yeah.

He's a, he's a very good player.

Uh, now just out here now.

We've got a band.

I mentioned that they were doing kiss covers.

Well, they seem to the rockers have seen to drop back.

Yeah.

On stage.

And we've got looks like the Dixie chips.

Yeah.

I was going to say the landslide.

I've got three young ladies with violin side.

I don't know what the hell's going on here.

But I'm looking forward to half time.

Yep.

I'm trying to know which, uh, what sort of genre.

I don't know if they got to, it looks like the voice.

That's all I'm saying.

Yeah.

It does look like a little bit voicing.

All right.

Um, anything else for that, mate?

With the youngsters?

No.

I'm done that.

You're doing.

I'm Healy.

Oh, Sam Healy.

Love Sam Healy.

Love Sam Healy.

Okay.

But the tough thing with that is Wade Egan.

Yes.

What do you do?

Because Wade Egan's going under the radar right now.

But his service off a quick play the ball is close to the best in the league.

Getting out, attracting that marker and just letting it rip out the back.

Yeah.

It's an avoidant and the like.

Okay.

Well, Wade Egan has to be there, but he can get a little bit injury prone.

Yep.

Sammy Healy might have said the body's time.

Yep.

Uh, you can catch every game of every round of the NRL NFL season's live on co sports.

Get on board KO today.

You're listening to the run home with scope and fletch.

More news.

NRL news coming up after this.

Welcome back to the run home.

The early pay open line is available now.

So call 1-300-01170.

Better business on your term search.

Early pay today.

So I was I was talking before about this band.

It's actually Jordan Evans.

I don't know who Jordan Evans is, but they're singing a lot of kiss covers.

It's him and his band.

It looks quite likely this kid.

Yeah.

What do you like him?

Do you like his stage presence?

Yeah.

He's got a little bit of a strut about him.

Yeah.

Don't know much about Jordan, but it looks very much like a...

Oh, yeah, he's got some moves.

He's out there.

Uh, now we are live out here at Brookfile Oval and it's looking ominous.

We were talking about the rain and they're saying it's going to hit here at about six o'clock.

Well, I'm predicting it's going to be a bit earlier.

Because it is getting very, very dark and gray out here.

So if you're coming out still, if you're still got tickets join,

come and join, but bring your poncho and your umbrella.

Uh, we've got more NR real news.

Some big extensions in the NR on the last 24 hours.

His copy rate is Captain Joey Tapini.

Well, he's security's future in Canberra.

He's re-signed a deal that could keep him until the end of 2029.

He'll be 35 when that happens.

He's still, I mean, he was on a million dollars.

A lot of clubs were courting him.

He signed that big deal.

So he's still flying.

Yeah, he's come on that.

Like 35 years old is not the 35 years old of 10 to 15 years ago now.

So, mate, he is well worth anything that he gets.

He's showing no signs of declining.

No.

And he's similar to Mitchie Barnett.

You just know what you're going to get out of him.

He's experienced middle forwards and more valuable now than they've ever been.

And Big Papa, he was thinking about going to England last year.

I feel that this is, like, the only sign that one you do.

Yeah.

I think Big Papa might not even go overseas now.

No.

I think you've just finished up.

I know he's keen to go to St Helens.

All St Helens were keen to have.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, meanwhile, Canberra, they're going to face uncertainty around Maddie Tymico

and Chevy Stewart, who both hold mutual options for next season.

Okay.

So, the reporters, the Raiders are unlikely to take up those options

on their current value, meaning the pair could test their market before deciding whether to stay.

Well, they'd be in demand.

Maddie Tymico was playing for New Zealand last year.

Yeah.

Pack Champs played awesome.

Had a rough end of the year for Canberra, but played really well on the Pack Champs.

And Ricky was talking glonely about him recently.

He was, you know, basically alluding to that everyone is team first when they're team first.

Yeah.

And they're in the first team.

He basically put it down to the former Simi Susangi in Noel Martin while he was out injured.

Okay.

And he just has to wait for his time.

So, I think it's probably more than more likely that Maddie Tymico was back in the team.

Right.

Sooner rather than later.

But Chevy Stewart, he debuted a couple of years ago.

He had, remember the game against the Broncos when they just absolutely ripped into him?

Yeah.

And it was that he didn't make a, I think he might have made a couple of errors, but he just bashed him.

But he was, he was not physically where he is now.

No.

No.

So I've seen him recently.

Yeah.

Looks like he's put on a few kilos.

Apparently been killing in New South Wales Cup.

So he's just, he'll be a guy that's looking for an opportunity.

Just on Joey Tarp.

And he was on Arbor's with the cock of the P.

And he's what he had to say about the current pace of the game.

Yes.

It's, it's, it's much quicker.

It adds different fatigue levels.

You know, you get much more tired and then maybe your tackles a bit more sloppy gives away penalties.

Which just keeps compounding.

So it's, it's an ongoing effect.

So you just got to adjust a bit more fitter.

And yeah, it's a bit of tackle tech stuff or when you're fatigued, it kind of goes out the window.

As everyone knows, it plays footy.

You just get into that.

That treadmill kind of run and tried to do your best.

But if you don't adjust, you're going to get left behind.

So I think a couple of teams have done well like Pennriff.

And so I think a big thing is, too, it's only three rounds in.

Usually takes a couple rounds to your game fitness.

So I think the boys will start to get better as the season goes on.

Yeah, that's what makes it go.

I like Joseph Tarpani.

He's so more valuable on the modern day base head because he's a big boy.

And he carries it well and works his back side off.

So he definitely wasn't on the olympic.

Definitely not.

No, definitely not.

They're not going to control him too.

This guy might have been, Craig Fitzgibbon.

He's not.

He's not.

He's not.

Your mate has signed a two-year extension with Cranella Sharks.

He's locked in with the Cranella Sharks as the head coach until 2029.

Since taking over in 2022, Fitzgibbon has led the club to four straight final appearances,

a couple of prelims.

How is he enjoying it, mate?

Do you speak to Fitzgibbon?

Yeah, what are you good mate?

Yeah, he loves it.

This is his.

He always wanted to be.

I mean, he's just a footy head.

I know that you know, there's players out there who just footy heads.

Yeah, Fitzgibbon is a footy head.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was always his roomie.

Yeah.

Like, I'd want to watch different shows.

And he goes, no, we've got to watch the footies.

Is that why I used to go along so well?

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

Well, we have some things in common.

But this is great.

And I know that this is a rap on himself.

I know that Cranella supporters out there are saying, you know,

well, he's fitsy the man to lead.

He is.

100%.

And the knock that they say on him fitsy is they get,

I keep picking the same team.

Well, one, he's very loyal.

He's a very loyal blight.

And two, maybe there's no kids coming through.

Like, it's all well and good to make changes.

But there's nothing underneath them better than the current mob.

I can't.

I can't think of it.

Maybe someone can listen on the text line.

I can't think of a Jackson Ford example anywhere else

that has come through the Cranella system that's gone on

and played anywhere else that has flourished.

Can you?

So that's Williams.

He's going to pass.

Oh, yeah, Jack Williams.

He's probably more.

Yeah, you're right.

But he's not, he's not where Jackson Ford is at the moment.

No, no, but he had a really good year for power.

That's a good shout.

There's one.

Now, the thing with fitsy, what you'll always get is effort.

And that's what, that's what sort of player he was.

And that's all he wants from your, from your player.

I suppose at the end, the thing that,

like, last year when they gave it to camera,

I thought, well, this could be the year.

This could be the year, fitsy.

Well, they're one way, one game away from a green final.

They're renting the pen with the other penance mob

who weren't going as great as they are going now.

But now, fitsy is the man.

Fidsy is definitely the man to be, to be the canal sharks coach.

Yeah, I agree.

I was one of those guys last year where I was just questioning selections

whether he needed to make some changes.

And he took a lot of, he took a lot of heat for it

through the middle part of last year.

And then they went on that run.

And he shut everyone up.

Yeah.

So there is, there's that balancing act all the time.

There's been a head coach, you know,

making, do you, do you make a switch?

Do you stay loyal?

And will the playing group repay you?

So now it's up to the playing group to repay Fidsy again early on in the year

because he's sticking with them despite two losses in a row.

Yeah, well, he didn't make that hard decision on,

because Billy Burns was flying.

Yes.

And he got suspended.

And then didn't put him back into the side.

That was huge.

Yeah, that was, that was ballsy.

So, that well done, Fidsy.

Yep.

Congratulations to Fidsy.

Congratulations to Joseph Tarpany.

And if it is confirmed and 100%.

Cooper Clarke, we talked about earlier on.

You listened to the run home with Escape and Fletch.

We've got the news coming up now with Amy.

And we are going all the way back to something we spoke about only last week too,

there's Edwin, who was chatting to Maddie Johns.

He was talking about you guys taking the sting out of the manly seagulls

before they eventually paid him in the grand final.

And that is our classic game today.

So, we're looking at the roosters losing the manly before,

manly going to play in that iconic 97 grand final.

And here are some of the highlights.

My day kicks off with the refreshing Celsius energy drink.

Then straight to the gym.

Pre-get pick up, back home to meal prep.

Time for my fire session shift.

One more Celsius kind of keep the lights on.

When the three alarm hits, I'm ready.

Celsius, live, fit, go.

Grab a cold refreshing Celsius at your local retailer

or locate now at Celsius.com.

Redfit.

Plenty of time to kick.

All about it.

They're right over the line.

All Danny Moore.

How embarrassing.

For you.

Live.

That's how fencing.

He'll go to the outside.

Now he picked up Danny Moore down the right.

Moore goes back in.

He's side fencing.

This is a done his way.

This is a done.

4-0 to 6.

Munchies is back in the rhythm circle.

Jack L. Scooters after it.

For Belch and L. Scoot.

L. Scoot.

Here's a miracle worker.

Here's a miracle worker.

You work out.

Go live.

Go live.

Go live.

Glory to the coach.

We are killing for 16 all.

And what about how soft the bus and the field

was waving, failed was the man.

Field gets the kick in.

David Vincent puts that hand up.

Bail is in front.

Yeah great kick and strike field.

minutes ago, you think they're on the way to another grand final. Two seconds to go.

Manly goes to the grand final. They will defend their final against you, Castle.

Here next weekend.

Do you know what's the favorite part of listening to these every week, Ray Warren?

The making. How good is it? The Michael. You know what it is? I was just trying to figure

out like as soon as I heard his voice, the still feeling just come back and even remember

in the game, trying to remember the game is best I could because I was 11 years old, but I do

remember the game. It's the way I was trying to, you know, in comparing it to play calls and

play by play that happened these days. It's the way he's the volume of his voice increases

right to the punchline of what he's trying to say, inflection, the inflection.

Which is very hard now. I don't know if you can hear this over the mic. Sorry guys, but Jordan

Evans is about to sing kiss. Can you hear this? Is this coming through you?

Yeah, let us know in the text line if you can hear it coming through.

Now this game, Maddie, I never thought of it how Maddie John's, I keep claim that that was

the match, the one new castle, the 97 grand final. What I do remember, it was very boggy.

It was very, we had a lot of rain and it was a mud, it was quite muddy.

And maybe there, maybe the extra time, I'm sorry, maybe the closeness of the game and had

taken it out of, I never thought, but I remember Fieldsley nailed it, Fieldsley kicked the

field goal and it just went over because I remember, I think I put pressure on it because I

don't know Fieldsley since I was a kid and he got it and when he kicked it, it just snuck

over the crossbar. Yeah, it was a good man Monday though. That's what Freddie was in a wheelchair.

What? The groin was cooked. He's groin. Yeah, about groins.

So some of the names, famous names in this game, obviously, next to yours flesh.

No, I found this out of the mall. Freddie, Adrian Lamb, Ivan Cleary, Luke Ricketts,

your great mate. Manly, consistent of Legend Terry Hill, who's no longer with us, we're

talking about him the other day, twos, my coach in 13, 14 and 15, Spud Carol and the

doctor, John Hopper Wadi. Oh, yeah. That was a good love and social with the most social

media at the moment, too. Doctor Hopper. Hopper. Oh, guys. This one here, this is from Timmy,
