I've done podcast You've got three weeks as net sessions to get ready for this I have to get some practice at the last time I appeared was October for the grand final night I'm still dirty on Gordy. Oh you and Gordy are right. Are you all right? I'm dirty on him about what happened grand final night Now paint the picture pretty quickly. You were down the side on the end of the game doing interviews working
Yes, Jimmy He was like one of those favourites you're back on the turn that he's beaten. He was under the whip He'd been on air all day and he was broken. He had nothing left Gordy decides to grab you and and get a higher car and to town with an hour to go on his shift Gordy, darling. Yeah, you did you remember you took off with you and yeah, what's my we were still on there? So Charlie called me is this your beef is this actually your beef? No, I'm blowing up because I haven't seen you since Well, that's why you haven't started So you've got you got paid for the hour that I had to work for you. Oh how much do you talk about? I Wondered what the beef was now it's an hour's extra work Well, it's made it wasn't you and I didn't invoice for it. I didn't I listen you were now Dan Gennan had just called the game
He was gone. He was hooked. Yes. How long have you been on air Jimmy? You were struck 12 hours I came in and carried the joint for that last hour good on you And it was in his limbo with the bar. Yeah, haven't a listen. Haven't a beautiful champagne celebrating the amazing career that we have That's right and you never even thought me no, no, but I listened to you guys I think it was so entertaining. It got us all the way back into the city Yeah, then I went to the city and I got a cold beer and I just sat there and I waited and I think It could I ask this now? I've been in I still missed the last 15 minutes. That's how quick I got back You we did a nice job. How are you raging? Well good to see you made. I'm fantastic Obviously love the foodie probably a little bit disappointing for Sous and Cowboys fans. Yeah Well done to that well done to the I'm just going through the results so far Knights 20 Rabados 10 Rabados eliminated and then the early game in New Zealand and we'll get to all of this dolphins through to a prelim 26 points to 16 over the was
And then last night at Shark Park I'm the shark faithful. They're true to their word. They don't travel They beat the Cowboys 26 points to six. What do you mean they don't travel to 17,000? Some people are all well what a shark park or 13 May I say you got an extra barricade. It's embarrassing What's embarrassing? You would have been so embarrassing playing the game at Portaloo Park where you want Wim make portal loser for tradies to use on No question no question for football. So what are the travel? This is the finals of the NRL Because there's a protest mode and a lot of sharks got on social media Well, that's really much you're buzz Was poor we deserve to be good crowd the NRL However, we're very unlucky and it was Cowboys That had been manly if that had been Cannerbury if that had been Anyone else they would have got 35,000 there That's lucky it was Paramedicous Cowboys hang on I mean I'm not cowboys You had the oldest club one of the oldest clubs in the history
The night before in South Sydney Against a steel city rusted on and you had 27,000 Yeah, two and up the ship they had 27,000 people there Well, what are you saying some problem then? So you're saying that the shark is 28,000? No the sharks there's no I'm saying you're saying 35,000 I'm calling it that is I would have got 35,000 that is the biggest letter crap buzz straight up and you know that would But whenever they ever got 35,000 to a game other than the grand five I have not missed you No, I'm sorry You're saying some of them nonsense You know one of the issues in the show There's too many parents like their kids support Pamriff Because they win They've got to support your area Support your area Oh no, you're saying Pamriff You see in the show it's embarrassing Don't let your kids wear that because they're winning Yeah but the bottom line is The NRL has outgrown Shark Park It is an embarrassment to our code to put a major semi-final on it that venue
It's just embarrassing Why won't the government get involved and do something about that? No, like they did they build Aliands They've got combat, they've got a call Right, don't keep on saying that There's three great stadiums right? Aliands is one of the best rugby league stadiums in this country This is an amazing stadium for fans Okay, you got to travel Well I left Brisbane this morning at eight o'clock They come here to watch this game So there's things that happen Do you know in the grand final the most sold tickets are worries, fans and Brisbane fans So you've got to get behind them And full sharks fans like I can go back to 99 when they play the dragons at a call I don't really love that stadium that much But they went there, they was when Mundine did the flips Cornola fans went there Cornola's about I reckon the Cornola players Gave their fans an excuse to stay home I mean we don't want to play there we should be playing here Instead of saying no matter where we're going to play We're going to win the game Fans get behind us we need your support If they say we need your support It's totally different to go I might we should be playing at this park Yeah, Dobba breaks my heart to say this
I'm a member of the Cornola shark for 25 years I've had the guns seats top deck of the adding house and stand Okay Um But it's like Belmore Sports Ground and the Bulldogs now I think it's a heritage venue I think they should play three games of 40 there per year Bit like what the doltans do at K.O. They play three games, see and they play at Suncorp Yeah, yeah and then we go into town Have a day out Magnificently they've got a totty there They've got good food there It's a great great experience Gameday experience Not just watching the 40 I went watch the Swans issue at the Kweekit Ground That new Naples stand The people are with Didn't actually enjoy the 40 They enjoyed the experience Make it an event Bus Yeah Like I'm with you The more you mention it about making it a heritage ground And at the moment it's not normal But you normalize it and it just becomes ingrained in you That sharks all right we're going into the city towards the sharks of course we are
Like that then becomes New normal and before you know it Shark Park is a thing of the past and and sharks fans Normalize the fact that they go to Aliens to play their football And they have the odd heritage game with Shark Park I love that idea We're talking about Announcements and grounds You've got some breaking news about next week's finals Mount smart stadium will not be where The wires are playing their game So Bus what can you tell us about week two of the semi finals Well what I can tell there was no Friday night 40 Which is unusual for finals But the games will be played on Saturday and Sunday So you've got the Warriors Yes And Newcastle playing in Auckland A six o'clock kickoff there time on Saturday Sunday Sunday and Coming into Sydney at six o'clock But it's going it won't be at Mount They've shifted the stadium is that right?

What we've been saying about that club But it just shows Good footballers Doesn't matter what jersey they belong If they can get the job done And they did a really good job last night Yeah We'll dissect the The game a little bit later It was a magnificent Enter An enthralling contest But just on the The dolphins and what they've Managed to achieve in their In their short history You know i remember when they came into the Compon They struggled to land a big fish They got Knockback after knockback after knockback We were there for their first game Against the Sydney Roosters Very emotional occasion Just to have them Into the competition We know how much it meant To so many people in Queensland And i don't think Anybody could have predicted To be in the position that they're in Big congratulations to Christian Wolfen his players For getting that first win And they're on the On the course of a Grand final it's been a Remarkable four years
Had they not have come down Some pretty heavy injuries At the back end of last season I thought they would have played finals But it wasn't to be But they've been relatively fit And healthy this year And for me Under Christian Wolfen It's where they deserve to be Yeah congratulations to the Dolphins It was a It was a bit of a scrappy game Yeah well You know what i mean like both sides It was stopped start There was a lot of penalties A lot of Yeah giving it away And i think that No charges by the way No There's no charges Over the Like boss stock shouldn't have been Like i know that Like he tackled him in the air But that's You know like Like there's millimeters in it But Do you know what to hang in there And win at the end It's like let's just hold on here So that's a real belief For the Dolphins I think it's perfect for those guys Because they're still pretty young And they've got some old guys to get a week off And just Set their sights on You know i mean like just to Take a deep breath and see where they're at Because i reckon It would have been a nervous Fuddy side Because it's probably the first time A lot of those guys have been in that situation And They did a fantastic job And Now they'll come back And when you talk about crowds
Buzz You know the Dolphins Fans they probably got to travel further Than the sharks fans To get the sun They'll have stadiums But they'll have 52,000 there I You won't get a ticket And so they should and Jimmy was talking about How hard it was initially to pull that roster together And all the knockbacks they did get They got the opposite problem now It's keeping that roster together And It's been very well reported That particularly their centre three quarters We'll both have standing players Jack Bostock Well I used to think Stephen Quiett was the best set in Oby League I've got no doubt her to be found Both of these now I agree with her And The male I'm getting Is that come November He'll do a deal with the roosters He'll he'll they just want him They're basically on open check for him And you know where they want to play And that this all interest our listeners James to Deskow will pull up after next year
They actually see her be support back Even other bassing light Bassing bites still got a long way to go And could be a fallback Could be a winner So you played the other night I'm hearing different I'm hearing they're going to let Bostock go The dolphins This is the dolphins are resigned And you bang on They've got two unbelievable centres But the male I was getting was that They were prepared to let Bostock go At the end of next year to keep herby And they came out and said this this week Terry, Terry Rita came out this week And said we're not letting herby go Now I understand the roosters got a checkbook And they want them They got a luxury Because they got a blackmail and a cell and cobbo Yes That will eventually I think And could play with how he's gone He's got his own centre I think he could turn into a good big centre And I think they got a blackmail and a tabby wife For the other place State of origin centres And you got You know, little tray fuller That sits there that might slot back in the fallback In terms of that Play fallback That is usually reflected in the annual salary
And But I think the dolphins They've got to Don't look at the number on his back Look at the contribution to that team Oh my god Heavy farm with Plays in the centre When the team lets come through that Okay, but he's worth Well, he's worth Gordon He's worth more than any centre Because of his level of contribution He has that number on his back Every week he makes a place Every week he plays Plays almost like a hybrid centre Fallback and Winger Because he's there taking those Winger Can I tell you something He'll take the fallback The backfield carries Then he's in shape for a centre And then he's in the shape of a fallback as well He's worth Arguably more than the average fallback Or more than the highest pay fallback And that's my argument You pay the player But he's The other thing where you haven't Talked about Herbie He's marketing And the glamorous Side of this guy I actually think he's up there with
Reese Walsh As a glamour From marketing Yeah, from outside of that Can I just start With you, Greg Absolutely And who doesn't like an Englishman And budgets My clothes down at Bondi Beach Hey That's one of my big and my Packet down at Bondi Beach How do you go to be Houston suburbs glamour Lata Can I just ask a question Right This is for the fans It's not my question I'd be sitting there And I know the rest No How do they You do it all the time No mate, but how do they afford him Because he's going to be a million dollars To Desk is going to retire So he's going to go after To Desk So I don't like the fact that Buzz is pushing nicks agendas again I am Because I'm just asking the fans Question right Because they say Sam Walker's What, 1.4 I don't know if Sam Walker's going to stay Hey, this is where I was going to get back And I was going to get another room In terms of value Good, you asked me that question He'll be farmed with 1.4 with ratchets
That's what I'm getting That's what I'm giving him Well, he's standing with Alphan Well, you don't do that to send a three You don't do it But he doesn't play like a center bus He's that's the Yeah, but if he was a fallback Which I'm saying he'd go left Or he'd go right And he'd just like But he's already plated What if the dolphins do the raiders And just load your 1.3 there in front of him Well, I don't think you'll leave the dolphins There you go My male Is that I don't think he'll leave the dolphins He's going with your male this year How's your bronco? Pretty good Been good Been very good He just hasn't broke any of it Been very good But aren't you on record As saying recruitment's the problem? I saw Anyway, I'm going to let him start Of the year I'm getting to recruitment I've got an apology to make a little Later about that And I will be making an apology about Because I want to apologize I had my fault I want to apologize a little Like, don't worry There'll be a post-culture Someone's got to There'll be a plated No one's got to I just had a real story I just had I just had a great Should we get it out? Should we get it out of the way now?
Well, all I'm going to say is That I said that Simon Scandalin had been pushed sideways And that I was in the wrong He wasn't pushed sideways He was his to choice Who's the head of recruitment at the bronco's to move The way he's going to He's gone back into the game-date development developing I was in the wrong I should have said that Can I ask Is that a step down or step up with me? No, he's choked He's choked No, no, no I think it's important I think it's important No, that was the question What sort of role is that? Is that higher up or like in the picking order? Well, it depends how you look at it I think they've got to get their Junior development look at it as they're using it I think that's a stronger, more important role That's a great, sir I want to go back to Paul's point Sam Walker Got gone I'm not saying he's certain to stay That's what I'm saying I don't think the roosters Are that fast about the way Negotiations are going Is it a is it a value or is it a contribution? But this is where
This is Where a lot of things are going to add up Yeah, so if they hear What's their issue that he wants too much money Or they're not happy with what he's What I was performing to No, I think they're happy with his performances But I think they've offered him something very very generous About the 1.4 mark am I correct And they feel that And yet and I'm told they went into the last meeting with Sam with a little bit more up this leaving case But Sam just didn't want to talk At this stage of the year to concentrate on the rest of the year But he's years over What I'm saying is There could be other options and this is where we get to Tom did and I still say he won't stay at the Cowboys until his contract expires in 2029 and I think he would if Sam Walker was to go it'd be a very likely Target for instance suburbs and your mob the bulldogs well look we what we you've gone off script
I'm gonna debate you later because you've gone off script about this We were talking about the dolphins now you've got in the you pushing Uncle Nick's Barrow Which is you've been doing for years We're gonna take a break Craig Fitzgibbon's joining us up next is the Sunday simbit on triple M Teamwork camaraderie respects All qualities you won't find on this show This is the Sunday simbit I welcome back triple M Sunday simbit live from combat stadium ahead of the roosters taking on penrat the south the moon for pepper money If your game plans change refinance your home loan with pepper money credit assessment conditions fees and charges apply Gordon talus buzz Rothfield James Graham Ben Dobin with you for the next four hours Dan Gideon will be your core last night Charkeys they did it well in the end 26 points to 16 over their cowboys their coach who would be relieved Craig Fitzgibbon joins us up the noon Fitchy thanks so much for being with us on this Sunday firstly Congratulations on a semi final win well done Yeah, thanks very much. Yeah was um, it pleasing in the end. I made it um
For a little bit harder than I'd to be but in the end It's an elimination semi-save any victories a good wonder keep us alive I fed to its buzz how tough is Brayton trendel to To do what he did last night and obvious discomfort how tough is he and was he always going to play? Yeah, well going to um if if the circumstances require we probably could have put him out there in the last round But obviously being I wasn't going to have too much of a determining factor on where we landed for semi-fornals We decided not to and now he's got he's got plenty of hard work done in the in the tom off that he's had trick and um Yeah, his um, his shoulders pulled up pretty good to be honest like considering it's it's quite a quick turnaround from when it first come out to Return into the field, but he um he got pretty lucky We's when it come out of when straight back in there wasn't a great deal of damage in there But that's not to say he's not playing tough at the moment though either definitely is Hey, Fitzgier. It's good. He made what's the most pleasing thing about last night's victory?
So when you got home last night. Yeah Had a cold beer by yourself and you know reflecting on the game. Mate. What's one thing that the coach was really happy about I just thought that you know in big games gaudy that let the simple things done well over and over again like It's um, yeah, you just kind of for to compromise on that I just thought we executed the plan really well in the uh in the first half I thought we'll quote ruthless to be honest and In the way we kept getting downfield and turning the ball over and defending in the outage But um obviously we had a a number of good ball sets there where we Uh, we didn't quite get what we wanted But we didn't flinch and just stuck out at no thought um we're pretty consistent across that plan for the night So no whether yeah that that that stacks up in big games and um Yeah, you don't let it take off the hook and I thought we did that pretty well Well, you're happy with bigger Aden for nooblake and telecard they look pretty powerful out there and It looked like that you had a real emphasis on going through the care boys as well Yeah, I thought I'd just I'd just stepped up in recent weeks. I've thought I've priced um I started and and bet towards the back end of the year is really stepped up and I'm bracing the leadership challenge
I'm obviously the leader of the pack and And um, yeah, when he gets us on the front foot. We're obviously a far it gets black running the ball more and that gets His count forward more but um, geez uh Yeah, geez telecard might have stayed one of the game and yeah Changed the intensity of the whole match and um what about that carry off the back fence Why would they kick to him? Oh, we were in shock while the care boys kick him in he came back and he was just unbelievable off the bench for you Yeah, it was he had a stint there in the centers as well when um Sianny got went for a HIA and That's siffer for you know you can play the centers can play back row but um in the middles where he's seen the He's formed the home at the moment and just in those power bursts when you want to change the energy of the game It's pretty any haven't him in big Tommy and an Oregon and and even Billy Burns is doing a good job for said too Fitty it's jamming here. Congratulations on the on the victory yesterday I want to talk to you about Nico Hyde. I thought uh, he he was excellent yesterday Um What's the sort of message to him? I guess you know with the number on his back and with the price tag
There's a lot of expectation, but how do you manage that as a as a player coach relationship side of things? Uh, yeah, we're sort of work through most of that to the honest channel. It's been um If he's in the making, but he's um, he's bad. Not the lot and he doesn't let things get to him anymore He just wants to go after it. Obviously um, he understands the responsibility that comes with it And he understands what happens when the the team um doesn't perform is generally gonna land on the high-altitude and Um, he's he's been he's been wearing that for a number of years now and he's definitely um Yeah, if he has a sub-par performance he's definitely got the ability to bounce back, but um We don't want sub-par performances at this stage of the year that way they make No, certainly don't can I got two questions to ask you fits firstly the adden for Noah Blake um double movement that they perceive We call that game we were in shock would the Shane Flanagan myself because of momentum carrying him over the line Did you will you seek to get some clarification at all from the from the bunker and from the NRL over that decision?
Because yeah, semi-finals are so tight. It could be a costly decision if they get that one wrong again Yeah, well generally if you do um you seek clarification They just say yes, we got a ride. We yes, we've got a wrong and nothing really just moves on so I kind of of the line. I probably had a sickle little wall back and he got this without a try And um in a game against paramount where he put the ball down the referee rule drawing the bunker have a turn to say Um, I just yeah, you'd like to trust that it's a very difficult job for the referees and the bunkers But um you'd like to see him get it right and oh I got as far as my men him goes what how's he? What's he supposed to go backwards or stop? I was crazy can I ask you about the Silent revolt that was reported that a lot of fans decided that they were you know protesting and not turning up and the criticism Just how you guys it within the club are juggling the fact that You didn't have a home semi at Shark Park and then obviously there was only 17,000 fans there last night
It's not a great deal. We can do about it to be honest though. It's not um was obviously not yet decision and um Yeah, we just we were just as a as a as a team We were just off the line of where we're happy to play at Aliens based on the fact that it's one of the best stadiums in the country Want to play at big stadiums want to play in semi-formals, but You felt really felt for the the paying members and and fans that have been turning up all year at Shark Park and didn't get an opportunity to see their team play semi-formals there But um Once again, it's it's it's not a decision and to be to be caught on a stuff felt like it off the back end of last year Where there's so much still going on about or thought it was probably a long shot to get another one there this year anyway But we um yeah, we just had to simply move on but if that was a solid practice still 70,000 people have a I think so There's still plenty of loud shark scenes that did turn upside. Yeah, that's um that's up to the the people that didn't I suppose Hey fits I want to ask you about the guy reckon these arguably the most underrated player in the comp I'm talking about your fallback well-candidate. I thought he was outstanding again last night
If you match him one-on-one, I know they don't come head-to-head, but Scott Scott drink water is a big money fallback genders and George Your guy does year-to-year deals My goodness. He's a good player Yeah, so um is not he's yeah, there might be um situational monetary value, but he's not undervalued by us as a as a team that's for sure buzz and um he just I think um just the he's so reliable is one thing, but he's actually His performance levels have increased each year here on the air so he um is Yeah, he's been brought up there with one of their best players this whole season. So he hasn't missed a game and And the boys adore him, mate. So he's um is such a good guy and Yeah, again, he's he just seems to keep flying in ways to get better every year will Fitsy obviously you'll play the Runner Opal the loser in today's semi-final um Yeah, Pameth would be a challenge. We are we thinking that the roosters is is the game that you want
Oh, no, not necessarily we just whoever Whatever happens is whatever happens. I mean if you if you want to learn the opportunity to get there You're gonna have to make on strong teams and everyone left in the premierships a strong team at this camp went in the season. So Um, yeah, we just both both the wonderful clubs and wonderful sides. So we're just going to get everything right on the day and go off from Hey, Fitsy, you're one of the nicest guys that ever played with and you're so calm Can you leave the monitors alone or actually just keep on attacking them? Might that was one of my favorite Just get in my the boggles yet if you saw the picture I was looking at on the morning Back as well What I'm sorry good Fitsy what happened to the monitor because I know you're a struggling club and you know Pretty tight It's a very little or yeah, it was a flimsy little plastic thing that bounced back and It was on my new would hit me back It was right for me. Hey, Fitsy. I'm just put myself in
In the shark's dressing room and I love the sea you didn't finish the the season that the way that you wanted um What's the sort of narrative being is it about you know just that recoil and and react? I've been part of teams before that we've finished the season horribly, but we've responded in finals And and and if so who's driving that message like who's the who's the ring leaders of the Operations to say no, but not many people are giving us a chance We've we've finished the season poorly, but you know what we're going to show everybody what we're about in this year's final series Ah that that lands on all of this because we're all all our languages aligned for the back end of the year And so it will probably suffer in a little bit of expectation there where we picked um peaked the number of weeks ago and Um, yeah, it's pretty hard to sustain that quality of football and then a little bit of Sort of felt like we're playing not to lose rather than play like sharks for a couple weeks there And throwing a couple of injuries and a You know to dip in form, but it's it's a new competition and anything can happens and um, yeah, we where we're all aligned and we're all focused
So we'll we'll be driving that out our message is pretty clear and aligned on that fact, but um Have anything can happen and we don't tend to Look external. We've been um, we're a toy group that's been together for a long period of time. So yeah, I'm not about things are internal Well, you are through to week two and that that semi-final will be either a combat or Aliance next Saturday night Depending on the results today, but well done on getting through week one elimination semi-final Congratulations, and we'll catch up with you again.

I'm on a bangle for a third party or I'm not this issue I'm not I'm not the perfect. We're gonna start up. I don't care. I actually don't care We're gonna start with you
You've got a gripe with Wayne Bennett. This is off the back of some audio some audio that was said here It is Ah the audio of Wayne Bennett on Friday night. We're gonna get rid of the bunker the happy all be I think anyone that plays drunk believe the nose going to leave nose That was a knock on I mean that's what you what was knocked out of his hand so then I would know try the referee What's a try they were then the bunker flies in and says it's no Troy And then you know 10 minutes later Newcastle wing that don't young goes down the side line there, you know My I'm not sure they're pretty slow in the line and not okay, but the bottom line is the backer then comes back and says We go to referee school. Well, I want to know who's referring the game That's the first thing I want to know is it the bunker or is it the referee? Because in the case of Alex Johnson one there or that Sullivan Airwater Troy as I said you can look at that 50 times everyone can come up with a different opinion on that It's just two technical. It's just not what the game needs Well done wine You want to get rid of the bunker dude who is ripping the guy you want to get rid of the bunker or is it the river?
Why that was a question he was asking well done wine I would yeah, but you know what in 2024 in Newcastle when he was coaching the dolphins They bombed out the last game of the year You know he did up the game he blew up and blamed the bunker Right new castle were clearly the best side on Friday night No, of course and deserved to win the football game So for Wayne to use his presser to Blame the bunker was not right. It was wrong Well hang on the who expects the bunker to be perfect. That's what he well we all do You can't be perfect as the human operating it pretty valandis said the other day that Chris Butler has a 98.5% success That'll do me But we're going to have a better game and we're going to have more accurate calls in rugby league Not just that semi-final the other night, but over the entire season the 210 games we play With a bunker in operation
It picks up mistakes. You think the bunker's been better this year than years gone by Honestly look I've got far bigger problems with rugby leagues than the bunker. I don't like the six again I'm telling you now take away the bunker right just take it away Take it away no, no, just take it away for a week and you watch everybody be oh yeah Right, oh mate that wasn't a try that was it. I don't know Doing that now okay with the bunker no, no, but every diving try that you see when the wing is Right and you're calling it you don't know whether he gets it down or not no one does and you can't no one can Repay and we go that so they're getting those decisions right where referees would be going That's a 50 50 well the ad for no like the ad for no like a prime example from last night. Is that a double movement to me? I didn't think so but later on the law of the letter the law He did put his arm down We referee by the letter of the law. It's a double move. Why did Grand Atkins point to the spot to start off with? Because Grand Atkins
Grand Atkins had to make a decision. He made a decision which was wrong. A 55 one really fast. Yeah 50 50 call and so you don't put it out Sorry just on the other side now on the ad for no Blake one the bunker is there to get that call correct And then and that they did because it's almost an impossible job for a match official live to make that We got the technical it makes it better. I wasn't the right arena. Sousa had a great season sourcing my club of the year For what they did with J.A. is they might club of the year What Wayne and what Blake saw him what Cameron Murray and Cody Walker did but to leave us With a winch about the bloody bunker and the area that they're fair and square by a team that's come from the wooden spoon I just thought it was bad you got shot down there On that particular incident that he's referring to the dumb young one the referee called that he was in And there wasn't evidence to over 10 the the a J1
look I thought it was harsh On on south and I'll view it from the point of If I'm in the new castle dressing room and that try is given I don't think I'm complaining Yeah, I can see that trying the same thing happened at early allegiance stadium Canterbury St George beginning of the years St George got beaten same thing Well, and it's good because the bunker ain't perfect but 98.5% of the time it is when but look We're never going to be well. I don't necessarily It's subjective and there's always Well, you know what I'm more confident about I'm right because you're not agreeing with with the bunker the I am if we have the bunker in the double you would never job Is that right what would it rule? If it had like Be careful Oh, because he's behavior over the last month has been a poorly and he knows it and he he's gonna walk us in pin the bus
Yeah, it has been Yeah, and you know that Don't act like you don't know Because you don't you know you listen and you do know he's been bad Have you got a knuckle BS? I'm after gordon in yourself. No, no, no, no, no No, because I'm not having these setups if you've got something let's know You know, no, no, it's easy. You stay out of it. What's the fence? No, no My other fans, right you go. I'm telling you right now, right? I'm part owner of a club that hasn't played finals for a while if we played finals on the moon. I'd be gone Right if you go after Titans fan Would you drive to Brisbane and where to go to Lang Park? Because that's the biggest stadium we'd be getting on buses and trains and planes and automobiles to get there to watch right if you watch Warriors fans March down at Magic Round everybody went how good is that if you watch when you go to England and the English fans walk in and make it Like you'll fit like if you're a proper fan double and you won't get this
Well, I do I fly to Cleveland every year to go and watch man. I felt like I get it I said no, but I'm talking about a rugby league fan. Yeah, but I do. I'm talking about I'm a Titans member I get it how many games have you just gone sat in the crowd twice this year twice I sat in the Why are you in the sense? Listen, that's what you're a bronca listen. He just lied right? So you just got a call I'm after I have a listen go and have a look how many times my my my Tickets have been used. Yeah, tickets have been scanned. So now you've changed the band you're you're a twight But all I'm saying you're charging media past the chat fans class go support your team. Yeah, I agree right So it's not the stadium you support it's the guys that run out and play in the stadium. I'm just thinking about Gordon going on the moon stepping off the rocket going this is one small step for the Titan One John lead for the end I go. Can I just how good is it my I Where's he I've got an icon I got an I call bass and I've got to be honest with you. It's yours a complimentary membership of the tight
No, I paid But he hasn't gone and what can I can I say this now and I am I'm going to get to that apology with Simon a little later, but the Broncos Media team for putting out the review results on this week was embarrassing The the review that was happened where players they can say what they want. They didn't make the players the players were not part of the review I to me I don't think that's right I didn't mean they didn't interview a player well the players that I've spoken to And one of them is the current captain wasn't interviewed so And there was some talk that the RLPA have to in a like and that the RLPA that's their role When did they step in the couple of years ago? I don't know. Oh, yeah, I don't know But I'm saying I don't think Brisbane got that part of it right and then well It's not a review and then we'll did you see that did you see the release with the CEO releasing Dave Johnniee releasing
those findings On Friday and and the steps that they're going to have to I mean What are they releasing? Well Troy Chomsen's now the general manager of Rugby League there So he answers he sits at the highest level on answers to that match answers to him and Know the bike magic of the job you now The most important thing out of the Brisbane review apart from A part from interviewing the players and look I can understand why pain house probably didn't want to take partner and Look, I don't care what anyone said he left because of magic that that that's why pain house left But I'm actually shocked that they've done a review and didn't get an outcome from that review On whether to extend mark and wise contract Well, I think that's what I thought the review was for and I'll tell you why if they had made a decision then
It'll take away the first eight weeks of next season and the weekly on NRL 360 on the by-round on the sinbin Speculation About his future. Well, if they win there won't be any speculation if they win those first eight weeks There won't be any speculation but if they lose but what I'm saying they've done a review and they've had no outcome on the future of their Code or what they've done is they've taken last time they did a review they sacked the coach on the spot So internally the male is that what they believe and it's had a worse year than that Yeah, they're trying to take all the pressure off mad sure he can just coach and not have to worry about anything else That's what the that was the official. No, but that's what he was there for in the first place. I know But I think what else does he have to do? Oh, well, there's like recruitment retention Sponsorship there's a lot of other things in the coaching It's not that he doesn't go and sit with the front of jazzy sponsor and negotiate the deal Nobody goes I know I realize every coach does right so the new
But they're taking that pressure off him. They're saying we're taking that off and we just want you to focus on coaching That's what they're doing. I get that but what is he been focusing on that's what a coach does I get it every year in our real And twice my I call BS the review is my I call BS hang on well We we put your review of the Broncos into song form and maybe bulls hasn't heard it so if we hear we can't The ability to play it Don't blame it on the army cam don't blame it on the injury Don't blame it on mad Just blame it on the roster You said you've been taking medication this week You know You know You know You know You know You know
We're taking a break I will know I will know I will know Well that is absolute garbage Get on the medication big time. I've already done all I had to hide for a couple weeks Here's my I call BS right dovo we know that you've got a big wear clothes And you could argue that you've got two more to wear clothes So I thought how can I help you out?

I would have thought With the stress in your life You know bright lights TV live You'd have blood pressure issues And no, no and Particularly now you own a football club. They're just doing too well or surely that Well
Yeah, right are we that's free comment. Yeah, no well like when I watch it of course You know, I mean, I'm pretty sure that my heart rate goes up when I'm watching the Titans Right can we talk about them when I leave right you can You can't worry a bit. What's out of my control And you try and you fit I try to do push ups. I'm doing a push up Oh, yeah, gave us a little Yeah, and then you bagged me because I do push ups on my knees. Yeah, I didn't pack it. I was quite impressed and then you said that you do a lot of planking I said you say that right. Yeah, I do a lot of planking. Yeah You're a tip of what can we talk about the dolphins please can we move on and go back to the dolphins about their performance I'm sorry I have to take 11 tablets give some to Jimmy. Please for God's sake. That might help him Did you take meds a couple there? Yeah, a couple. What do you take double? Well, obviously I have to take some for pain relief for my neck
At night I take that was too easy. It is not still milking that I've still got a Ments pain in my fingers. A men's pain. Yes, nerve pain in my fingers. So I take pain all of those is that My best is no, we shouldn't take any way. Yeah No, I broke a bit. Yeah, so I can you had next surgery and you got a pain in my V-lead in my fingers I feel it in my stomach. Can we talk about the dolphins please? Yes. Okay. Can we move on? Let's talk about the dolphins Gordon, they use surprise by the rise of no the dolphins within four years where they've got to and and we should say There's no coincidence that Peter O'Sullivan put that roster together with my And the body. Yeah, when you watch the dolphins whatever it was called You know when they'll put it together and they're sitting there. The ball on the dolphins or something And they're putting all you know putting the roster together and as a you know all their best minds in their thing and Christian Wolf would have been part of that and Wayne and Sully would have been sitting there and what do we need and I think they did a great job by the bromage boys Yeah Kafusee those those hardened pros they just sat there that had the young Gilbert's and
Donnie Hughes and young Plath and all those guys in the situation They got her be far worth that was on the rise at the broncos They got to cateau are okay That was a bit of a potential buy like because no one really knew and he has just I think out risen Anybody's expectations on where you would think that he was Cody Nicarima. God. He's best Tap you off the day. We all saw him. I think in the nines over in Perth and you know Vossi had con입tions when he was calling his name and then the cowboys would probably be Real in that day in Bostock and they got these guys that were sort of on the fringes That have gone on and worked really hard on their potential But we're right right at the sarco right on the outer at a few clubs and couldn't quite get his Mojo back and then he's had probably the best and you got cobbo that you know Match put him in reserve grades. He wasn't good enough and he's an Australian winger So I think Christian wolf the way he's got over the Wayne Bennett curse
You know like the magic of the Wayne Bennett curse and Because everybody tries to be like Wayne But when Wayne leaves the magic leaves with him and I think Christian wolf has you know been able to be himself and Everybody in that organization has improved. I think if you've watched them over four years They've all improved. I think I think I think which is which is why they're Where they're at yeah, I've got to give credit to Christian wolf like he did a lot for me on a personal level moving back to St Alan's but what I've been really impressed is like I know Christian wolf really well and no he is a A very hard-nosed approach. He still does juditsu. He still can From with the best of them But if you look at a lot of times Teams reflect their coach's personality But if you actually watch this dolphins team they're like the free flowing flamboyant Light to express themselves team and that that's not wolfie No, if that if that makes sense like look they've still got a hard edge. Don't don't discount that But what the dolphins are known for is this this level of brilliance and you know both spoke about the good looking likes of
If here be farmed within the hammer It's part yesterday's game though like Do we just stop Well, well, well stop for a minute mate. I know you've had a year off You've got a button on your phone. So when you say when you're asked do you want what kind of chicken burger you want and you say spicy? Just produce You're Just a person to produce the button and then they'll hear it and no one will hear I think we could have passed it off as I he was talking about I'll say the about heavy farming and he said spicy spicy Very really it was spicy I all the on his chicken But but in yesterday's game Look the dolphins gonna need to be better. Yeah, they're going to need to be better for for the open in 60 minutes They were holding their gloves up holding their gloves up and a better team in attack would have punished them I think that the warriors that they kicked out have many goals, but a better attacking side Would would punish them with field position?
You know, maybe it's a fatigue factor at the back end But that was brilliant player. I think it maybe have would have been a soccer that caught the ball And when he passes it to herby that's a The hammer And that's what the dolphins Players have that they notice one laps in concentration one cue in a player one Player two players away that's not tied in that's not in position and bang It's gone. Hebby did the same on that last tackle play where he gets the ball Some players miss their assignment. They're supposed to move They're supposed to go just in case every single time The coach would have previewed the dolphin. You've got to keep moving just go just get there and be present Because hebby if he gets the ball He's going to punish you back on the inside and it's exactly exactly what happened to occasion bang Lack of focus and they're going to be able to do that. I do however feel The dolphins are going to need to play better if they're going to it not just advance to the grand fire, but most certainly win the thing
Ah look you're spaking about Christian Warp was spaking about the recruitment of that club and I think there a chance I really do well. They're obviously a chance because they're in the grand final You know a pre-limp And you look at that side and someone mentioned Peter O'Sullivan, you know the pickup guys like you know Jeremy Marshall King who was what second string at the ball dogs I think that was his first um, you know race Rastone little skill in that he just needed he needed a change from paramatter and he saw something in him But I I like the back he was a Wayne sort of player and Made a decarima wasn't doing a lot. Cobber was struggling at the Broncos Boss stock was unknown on the south coast the hammer they preferred drink water the hammer and And the other and I don't want to just keep repeating you guys, but this competition is littered over the last three or four decades of clubs that Wayne has left And more recently it's George after the 2010 premiership and the
The struggle ever since Newcastle won wooden spoon after wooden spoon after Wayne left and Nathan Brown went in that wolf has His improved the song from what one had yeah better so and I've had bugger all to do with Christian wolf But the wraps are who is assistant coach brother Ben Cory Rory cost Jason Nathan fiend Nathan fiend Gosh, he's he's really improved that unit even Yankeh tower when he joined that club right yeah That was so salivant yeah, no question. I think as well, but some of the things you're referring to about Wayne when he moved on Often does that comparison? And plays are on the way and we did on this well, it's not happened with this this crop I know both coaches I've been coached by both of them and they're very different in their approaches And but it puts magnificent that the players aren't sat there going. Oh, Wayne would have had how to do this
You know, they're all they're all they're all in on wolfie correct me if I'm wrong in his first year when he took out from wine Did he lose his first four? Yes, yes, and I could see him at his presser And I thought this guy is going to come in with a his face is red and he's gonna have a sweat up and he's He's gonna feel you know stressed there But he handled it just really naturally And somehow He picked that football side. He doesn't get flustered you're so right No, they would nearly would spin favorites. They lost four in a row They'd had obviously the cyclones and they'd been beaten they got beaten down here by south They got beaten in Newcastle then they had another loss then they got beaten in the Battle of Brisbane week four And they were like at after four he was calm. Yeah, well this year. Don't worry They um they lost their first two this year and then went on a big run So he's very calm and they've also had a 60 they've had a couple of big flogging So got 50 put on him by manly and then the shark he's put on 60 something on them and they've been very calm
I want to ask typically gaudy in yourself The courier male is owned by news court And news court-owned the bronco sure the broncos are the big team in town Correct correct it will it get to a stage where the dolphins might actually become No, why I don't think they'll ever do in that you think they will you think they could be equal I think I could be quite I think they go past Brisbane in in Glummer that I mean if they win grand finals who wins No question, but I'm talking are you talking holistically like with membership I think their sponsorship is nearly parallel They're sponsorships in Liberlo talk to a Queenslander not someone from New South. Oh hang on go Chasing that it's about financially they don't they don't the broncos have more port the moment than the History right yeah, when the broncos come out right they took players from every team Nouls reckless and that so
The Brisbane fans actually blame the broncos and all's part for the Queensland Cup losing its you know Like yes losing its shine So now it's a bit like the Adelaide crows like port one every comp and then Adelaide come in that was every team in Adelaide Come in so they hate that so what will happen is those guys that Supported Norse and that they do love their rugby league will end up jumping on They will jump and then if the if there's a side that comes in in the Western corridor whether it's an ip switch or Logan or whatever or Tumbo or whatever They will they will choose that but when I was at the bronca it's not every Queenslander likes no question There's a there that so dobo so they're the ones But what broncos have whatever makes generations absolutely rugby league fans Absolutely Growing up looking at the hammer looking at Kirby looking at that magnificent half back they've got yeah And there's a battle and I'm talking ten years they'll be there our fees they'll be there
And I'm serious that's a question and they call it the battle of Brisbane and I go to junior rugby league every single week And every kid that now this calls a try if it's not the arrow so the last Four five eight weeks have been doing the arrow before that It's a hammer every kid that scores a try Kenny Bromwich's son My boy played against him. Kenny Bromwich's son scores a try Him like every kid does him so what they also want Reese's boots. They also want to wear Reese's wool shoes So like there's that as well. I get all that and Reese and Reese is unbelievable Who's the most popular player in Queensland probably say Reese's fault But if if they don't go to the grand final and they have another bad year the next couple of years And red cliffs sitting the finals People love winners and it's sad their kids kids when they go to the park want to want winners I mentioned it before about the number of panoramic jazze you see in the show because
They they're And this is why it's really important strategically for the dolphins I think to almost make a pack between couture the hammer and and hair be because they're there they could stay together They could grow all together. They can be win multiple competitions. I tell you some And that's the thing that's fine and I'll see this Dobba will become a red cliffs memory fan. I was a red cliffs there you go See so that's my point I've got the go to go and all these clubs because I hate asking for tickets So I just and I've got kids that want to go to go and go to the right suncops I don't Yeah, yeah, everyone I grew up I grew up grew up supporting the bulldogs So I grew up supporting the bulldogs. I tell you know from the Gordon tell us cup 10-year-old kids I'm going up there next weekend. Yeah, I'm gonna miss this right a couple of years ago 700 kids were saying up the wires up though. Yeah, 700 so they're all 12 now. Yeah, then last year it was respawned
Right this year I'm gonna go up there. I'll tell you who they'll support No, they'll be my I'm telling you they'll be the dog they will be the dolphins no matter what so so that's So that's what happens so when you say yeah, who's right who's gonna be the biggest whoever sits on top of the table Will have the biggest support and that's just what happened? Do you think Brisbane or and this is a genuine question? I mean, they've got something like 70 000 members this year Now I don't have a count them. I don't know. It's not full memberships. They'd be full four gamers. They'd be But do you think if they have another year like this they'll lose members or do you think off the back and the dolphins will look? I mean the dog everybody loves winners the kids right every kid gets a ribbon Every kid gets a ribbon. I'm not I'm not begging them the kids will go and buy every day I drop my little son to school. Yeah, what ad comes on put your fins up put your fins up So the fins are just in like There is a battle there buzz and also and also The dolphins there is a taming
I'm believe that's not that's not It's a good looking jersey right and they've alert everybody to count And I'm not saying I've read jersey with last night was unbelievable. I'm not saying Brisbane on but you know one of their biggest stars Is leaving. Yeah, that's why it's so important that I think red cliff keep these players together Painhouse walks out the door me as a fan or if you're middle forward growing up you got Oh, he was kind of fun to watch. I'm a bit disappointed with that more than a bit more than a bit We're gonna take a break come back Sunday. See me don't trouble him The world is coming From Fidget and Alex Johnston from Papandone I've been league world card 2026. It's on art We're really woke up on triple M its footy turned out starts October 15 on triple M For McDonald's and Reem hot water triple M rocks footy This is the Sunday Welcome back to the Sunday Simeon all thanks to pepper money every year the footy chat starts up again new players new game plan
You ever stick to one plan? Nope plans change in footy and in life same with home loans pepper money Understands the plans change refinancing home loan with them could be an option if you plan to renovate make more space Even out of swimming pool gets a bit warmer. That's what you need to do sounds like a helpful way to check out your home loan And if it still suits you pepper money really helpful own options credit assessments conditions fees and charges apply This is a Sunday Simeon bin buzz gaudy jammer bend over with you ahead of roosters taking on The penrath pant this that's a 405 kick off Dan Genaing will be your caller for that one Season in review. Let's talk about South Sydney. They bowed out on Friday night when they were beaten by the new castle nights And Finish six in the regular season and out in week one buzz from the outside looking in how would you rate south season Um on the field. I know you've been very complimentary about what they've done off the field But how would you rate their season on the field this year? I think pretty good dobo Yeah, what I've been really impressed with is a couple of players there
Who have revitalized their careers? I'm talking brand and Smith Who had a troubled couple of years at the Sydney roosters I think he's had a very very good year at south. I think it'll be better after another Offseason the other guys David Perfeta Who left the Titans hadn't done a lot for a long period of time But by the end of the year had Reestablished himself as one of the most damaging edge forwards in the game Um, I think in the absence of Jack White and at leto Mitchell And injuries in the harsh positions which finished at Sullivan finished up there Cody Walker had to take over more of a Leadership role. Yep, and I think he had a tremendous season And I don't think there's any doubt whatsoever That he'll be reassigned for one more year next year. I think I think he deserves
Yeah, I agree with that and we take out that brain snap in the penraith game Uh, we kick that foolishly kick that guy Uh, yeah, I'd give them more than a pass mark, says Gordy and jama you agree with that? No, that assessment. Yeah, they get a pass mark Yeah, I think they'll bit light on in the forwards like if you look at it um the way Tell us Duncan loose in the trail like the trails They're big dog right? Luzanine, you know in the running Luzan a halfback Luzan Cody Walker in their biggest game to a calf Um, they're not excuses. They wouldn't use it Um, they'll be disappointed with the way they finished But I think with what's happened to him this year right at the beginning To where they finished. I would think that when all the dust settles I'll go We hung in there this year. Even though they'll be disappointed I wouldn't say it's a failed year for say our Sydney Yeah, internally they might think like some of the guys they Yeah, they probably think that they probably could have went a little bit better But I think it's um, I think they'd be happy with where they sit now. Yeah, considering the um
The the tragic circumstances that have surrounded self-sitting this year I think they deserve nothing but praise um for the for the way that that for ball club is Approach this year both on and off the field that like Gordon said they've they'd have and handled a a number of of key injuries to key players I think Um from a sort of roster management position um In an ideal world um, you don't chop and change your fullback um, I think jie gray began the year then it was duffy Now that's I think that's okay if it's a young up and comah But duffy came to the club and it's a great story lovely story that he came on a training trial and managed to force his way in But in an ideal world you've got your You you jie jie gray would have been more consistent Uh for longer. I think then Need to identify who is the seventh a partner
Cody Walker um have someone take the reins without whether it's um freeze or us. I think it's warded And it's a long well again that has Chopped and changed from injury to for for all the other reasons. So you know if you've got your your first choice spine Healthy then that that goes a long way and they have made a lot of changes in that spine. I think if Wayne can Yeah Find that the answer to that question. It's not too dissimilar to the dogs. I think the same one then period eruptive Most clubs now and particularly their recruitment people they walk in and officers are big white board Yeah, and it's not next year's roster. It's not the year after it's the year after that as well Yeah looking at and when you take Cody out obviously out of that last column Then and the lead half out of that last column You leap fallback out of that last column if the 12th is said uh it
You know, yeah, they're gonna have to They are gonna have to try and Somehow go into the market to get a half somewhere and whether or not I don't think ask some wards up that no no, but I'm talking a six um, they've got they've got this Yeah, you know because Cody walkers and I got one more year so they're going to have to they're going to have to look at where and they might have that player in development in their development, but I I I feel that there's gonna be November one There'll be some transactions take place. I think Wayne and South Sydney are about to make some huge plays I know they've got pain house But I think there's I think there's more I think there's more They've got a lot of players they got to keep dog, but well they have but Well, let's talk about that November one um players that come available Tell us Duncan do you have to keep him you've got Jack white and lateral Mitchell Brandon Smith Campbell Graham just to name a few so
That means like you would think tell us Duncan would we all agree that they will do everything they want Well, that's the one like when they said that they're putting the negotiations on hold yeah the number ones Like they said I know except for tell us so you think that he'd be yeah the main focus. They know that absolutely I suppose The trell's the one that that's another one what you pay the trail but you said he would love it underway. He does but No hiding he's only what he's only played Yeah, he has a lot of games. So what's his value? What do we believe his value is? Well, I think he's happy there and I think the relationship he's got you know with go Yeah, you know to to the country and do all that I don't think another coach will allow him to do it Harves available in 28 Hold on we're talking about the trell's value. What is his value now? And that's the interesting question because do we agree his assent at now? Yes, which brings him back by a couple of hundred thousand I would think
From fallback money Yes, and then when you consider three years of injuries in which he's probably 30 games No question whatsoever that this bloat is so so important But what's he worth? What's well you're worth it? I must prepare the post and and and and don't forget You know we've got a much bigger cap coming But I have my doubts where these worth over the million mark any more Because he's the center. Yeah, and because Look, he's just got a frame that keeps finding injuries And I think that's it's probably a conversation for him and Wayne Yeah, to have a round look, you know, this is the valuation if the trell wanted to go and Maximize his earnings then We'd go to Papua New Guinea or the new franchise team the 19th or all the 20th team coming into the comp But probably for for for Mitchell it's not about that. It's you know laying the foundations for
For self-sidney being part of a potentially premiership winning roster and And obviously if you you overpay the the center on fullback money for the style of player that let's release Yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere No, I don't know, but you look at the hard on in 28. Okay, Cleary Walker Zane Harrison Eaton Sanders Mitchell it's Harrison staying at the Titans and I'm gonna go as far as saying I believe Cleary staying at Penrith And Sanders you've been Santa for a couple of weeks and Sanders is going to Sign a one-year extension at Canberra as well. So that means on that list you've got Sam Walker who We don't know where he's gonna land And you've got you have a great and you think why don't have a great relationship with yeah I don't think I don't think that is that that will be the home for For I don't think you'll go to ss. You know, you know, I know them We're talking about half-see, but you mentioned about them. They may be getting more is well. Are you talking about will listen?
Well, there's been a talk that willisons gonna go to the market Yeah, I thought Brisbane had him Well, Brisbane are saying that they're very confident that it's coming closer Yeah, he's changed management. He's we're now with Payne Husses manager Is now managing him and if you listen to the talk This talk that he will go November one go on the open market and I don't know if Brisbane will Brisbane are gonna have to hold him They're gonna Brisbane have to pay him like to keep him like that's just it's a non-negotiate, but the thing is double as this pain Hauses coming Right Cameron Murray's a absolute champion locked forward in the middle and You know, they've got good center three quarters But then go and know where they're at half they're not gonna go a lot better than this year and the other name is Not on the official list is Tom did Deans the big one and you're you'll be gone that I don't I don't know what is his name keep on coming up
Well, he why keeps coming up who he keeps denying it right I think Kim and his partner or wife from that have this baby yeah, I've agreed that they'll do one more year in towns for Then they'll break the news that they're coming to Sydney and and that that's gonna happen And it's kind of a termin on walk out Canterbury Need a half in my view South anyone Bale main it's cheaper brings you up in North Queensland Sorry, but much cheaper. It's cheaper. Your money goes further in North Queensland. Yeah, but happy wife happy life Gordon We know that yeah Happy husband happy life has family and his wife has a very very successful business Yeah, but she's a beautician or a hairdresser you can open them in town. Well, like that's not let's not be let's not take it up I can't talk about that. No, no, I know buzz your mail is right because it's been going around and a lot of people have been saying
Tommy Deans come out and said no, well, he has no He'll be there next It's always it's not denying he'll be there next year But I think in 2028 who will play in Sydney Well, that does change the complexity and and that might be of fair reason why the roosters are holding out with um He's a very much tom deans a very much a Cooper Crohn style of uh Seven or six like in a half-period Yeah, and very much like the trying to play a Trent Robinson likes whereas Sam Walker plays what's in front of him is very much and I'd live footballer just doesn't play to that structure that Trent likes and and obviously that way so maybe that's the reason I'm not saying they're lowballing him That's the wrong word, but maybe potentially that's why they're not giving him the high-ass What clubs can afford Sam Walker I don't know no Tommy didn't it isn't he Well, it's his highest paid at the Cowboys. Yeah, Rooster. He's got he's on a percentage 12% of the cap or something ridiculous like that. So what club can afford that
I'm saying I think it'd be prepared to take a little bit less Well, you can't because because Peter Valani's come out well with the Hudson Young situation And if he's on that but that's never gonna work gaudy that's never gonna work because there's a history of players We'll go to south so I want to play in the Wayne Bennett. There's a history of players who go to Melbourne for less to play on the It doesn't work. That's what do they yes? Well hang on hang on hang on how does that how does that pass Gaudy we're gonna do it what we're gonna do is we're gonna take a break We're gonna come back. We're gonna talk his Hudson Young issue Sunday sim being on triple in Teamwork camaraderie respect All qualities you won't find on this show This is the Sunday sim Yeah, welcome back to go in Sunday sim being we alive from combat stadium penra take on the Roosters 405 That'll be your kickoff time denganame will be your call for that one And we will be covering everything to then the Sunday sim bin the raging bull Gordon talus buzzer off the old infoready

I thought he was absolutely sensational like He was right on the line Uh, until a trip and I love seeing this this personal one-on-one battle and you we've spoken about the trail and it's important to sell Some what they should do with him. Well, thank you guy was willing to To step up to their most important player and actually I thought he was sensational I thought it was a great performance from him both with and without the football. I thought That if you're willing to stand up when you know He's at the very much at the end of his career moving on to the Broncos next year But him to go after their best player. I think sets the tone for the rest of the group So he get my vote this week double if you just I was going to say that I thought you got that wrong normally you get it right But to me The Mitsubishi Trot and Raid his toughest playout
Was not a player It was Shane Flanagan who had a fully replacement on Wednesday And was in the commentary box last night working at Ali answers part of the trip. What I don't like I'll go off Well, I say that's tough. I got would you you bought it up on it. I was listening to it You bought it up on a yesterday got an a fair time yesterday. Go congratulations Yeah, well, I'm giving as my Mitsubishi Trot You so But I'm much Nathan how much I'd hit replacement is that on the couch. Yeah, tough within tight You know with James Gray. I'm running marathon and coming to work. No, that's what normal. That's not tough That's normal people do you know modern medicine now and e replacement you're up that day So what are you minimizing? I am minimizing it, but also double. It's not your toughest player. Well, I'm getting involved But can I just say gag away? literal was Far and away my highlight of the weekend. Yes. Thank you. It was sensational seeing those even even your mate Ronnie Smoking to me didn't even off into the sideline last night. That wasn't your favorite moment
The favorite moment was the trailverse gag. Oh, it was so good. No. Well, yeah And think about the impact that hasn't gagged. I gotta go to the bean for part That I was just gonna say That there was no overreaction with a bin for that little set two was Another hard. There was a jab you saw that in your job. I was chill me then job. I that was cool That was cool. That was just the old blotters crabby's jersey the old Fashion week is sort of going to push him away and push him away and gave him a little bit He had hold of his jumper And don't like I love center battles Like I think back to the days of Josh Mars against Greg English like they were so good to watch Like that it's probably the old fashion center. It's yeah It's probably the only real genuine one-on-one contest that we get you know We talk about all the shootout between the halfs They don't really go after each other or who's the full-bath who gonna have the better game
Like to desk over the Edwards today, but they're not going not going to meet in the middle They're not going to come head to head Latra was was awesome dober Yeah, and Jenna what if I had to pick my triton toughest player Probably would have been the seven blokes that got in their boat with dober this morning Herby Rupert Rupert Sterling there's none of those Thanks Sterling. Thank you. Thank you. It's fair. It's feng come down to feng It's feng give you a little Massage before it shows with me you've got about an hour in you of good behavior And then you go to the dogs again. So I'm gonna ask you We're in this break. We're gonna take a break. You're gonna it's feng loosen up your car We're taking a break Sunday simb from Tripple The world is coming Stinger Bolor from Torsar Better now to Marie Tully from the films Be League World Cup 2026 It's on Arter
Rebrily walk up on triple M It's footy turned out starts October 15 on triple M For McDonald's and Reem hot water triple M Rox footy This is the Sunday simb Welcome back the triple M Sunday simb for pepper money went live from combat stadium Welcome to our third hour buzz rock. We'll Gordon Tallis James Graham Pend over with your 405 Penra take on the rooster's live from combat stadium 10 game will be a call for that one as triple M Rox footy and the finals let's address the Hudson Young issue at the Camber Raiders and obviously We reported this week that the Camber Raiders were confident that they were trying to get Hudson Young and He was wanting to go and have a look at PNG now the Camber Raiders then lodged Their offer with the NRL which was deemed 1.1 so anything below that has then seen as
It's not right and that the NRL would not accept that I am my understanding talking to people at the Raiders is that they're very confident that Hudson Young is going to remain at the Camber Raiders They I think he had a beer with Ricky after last Monday. I think they're very Comfortable where the situation is so there is a lot of talk that he's upset That he's disappointed that the Raiders have have gone about Lodging that that offer with the NRL and that the chiefs are then blowing out of the water for that But I still think that Hudson Young stays at Camber Raiders. What's your thought? Well, you're saying he's upset He can't be too upset. It was going to stay well because well, there's a lot of narratives around that he's upset But I don't understand how this is policeable All this talk that he's now worth 1.1 and no one because he might He might for all we know Want to go and play with Wayne Bennett and see what he's Done with the plays I mentioned earlier Brandon Smith and Pfeveda
And he might want to go to South just like Jack Whiten wanted to go to South And Jack Whiten went to South for a couple hundred thousand less than Camber Raider for him You know why he wanted to play with the trail he wanted to play with Cody On to play under Wayne Bennett. How is this it's not policeable And but it should be Why should it be because but I've just give you some examples. I know I do get that right I do get that play should should be able to pick but I'm just sticking up for the For like the lower clubs right that everybody's going to go I'm just going to go for the roosters for Trent Robinson But when I was overseas with the Australian side you know the most thing they spoke about money That's the most that they ever like me every time they were talking about is I'm perth and this and you know What's coming in so players right are in a for a short time and I don't blame them. It is a business right and That like I think when I retired the every general career was about 30 something game
So I Want every player to go at their and squeezes much out of this game in their body as they can and I don't blame them But as a fan right and I just keep on saying when Adam Reynolds Knox back 750 and signs with prison for 350 and Ben Hunt leaves a club struggling in the St. George That's got a wooden spoon at a million dollars and go signs for a club at 500 How does that pass the pub test so I know that they probably can't match the exact number But there's got to be some sort of well, well, well, yeah, there's got to be some sort of guidance right that of that like a club can't go like a struggling club can't go and say Nothing clear. There's two and a half million dollars and he goes I'm going to stay here for 800 or a million. I think I think some of the some of the struggling clubs Need a hand With going out there and getting their plays and keeping their plays because Sometimes the smaller clubs you feel like that you're just a feeder club for the top four clubs So you get to get the plays and when they come and knock on your door the player just come straight out
And they can offer him the same amount of money and do this and you've offered a more money and they get them But I can play that like that straight away. Newcastle was struggling club. Newcastle won the spoon last year But you know what they did two years ago They decided to sign the sharpest eye in the comp Peter O'Sullivan I've said he built the dolphins He identified a lot of talent some of us already there And they produced that forward pack the other and I didn't know who for the worth the beginning of the year I'm gonna 30 13 million dollar five eight to play halfback. Yeah, but so they had to pay over So that's what I'm saying, but then if that guy if Dylan says but when you say that save is 1.4 for brown It was five years time with the new tv deal the good way And then for five years it's the right value Yeah, well, I think by the you know, yeah, the difference is camera I feel for camera in these instances because they Don't go they're not able to attract marquee paying over
They've never been able to go and get big signings to bring them to the club We all accept that so what they've done is they went a different way They developed them they coached them through they've done that with all them and there's a longer history than that They started off with Queenslanders and the maningers yeah belches right sure and Lot of jobs and then they you know, they did they went for Englishman You just we saw something really smart they could do a point system and you can pay on whatever you want Go pay players whatever you want, but there's a point system And when you come in and whatever you get you get a point system and you can only have 30 points in your club And that's where or and then and that's when the seller cap would work because it goes on the points It goes on the valuation of where and I guess I think most people would like to see a an absolute minimum wage Put on players so for example with Hudson Young You would assess that go I like no one's going to pick him up for 750 because we can all recognize And you know at the Broncos that maybe leverage their position and took events and there's all the rumours out there
And that's the part that I'm going to show you where all this is nonsense last year Shined Richardson Called Lockland Galvanidrice office early in the year All right four-year deal with this manager for five years 1.2 million dollars a year right? Yep. That's what they offered him Now he Left and went to Canterbury for about 750 800 So we saying canterbury 700 800 So we saying Because Richo offered him that money Canterbury had to do Well, that's what I'm saying Right, so that's that's 1.5 million dollars The young kids knock back your son yes, and you did you know why? Yes, I do believe that I don't believe that because gas was building something special at the bulldog I think they've cheated
And he could see That he wasn't he's football wasn't going where it wanted to go at the West Tigers under banshee And Cameron sorado was the hottest new coach It just signed for five years and he was going to have cried in there and he was gonna have kick out running under you He's gonna have pressed in So he took about 400 less To go and improve his craft at the bulldog so you do you believe that I do believe it yes So but I'm I'm with you in terms of it's fact Well, I don't have these bank details Right, but some of it doesn't pass the pub tips if someone offered me 400 000 dollars more on Canterbury already had kick out canterbury already had I get all the I can't who they got yeah, I actually get who they've got I think it'd be great for the NREL to put a minimum minimum value on something On each player has a minute make it better matter what for So for the club so the Tigers for instance, so this is sticking up. I think they've offered
Latrella at times. They've offered bent Adam Reynolds. I'm pretty sure they've offered Harry Grant when he was there they've offered a lot of players. Oh, I like point system good and more than anything Well, I think it's just gotta be fair instead of people Getting sold the thing. I'm just gonna go play for one. Let me tell you some players play for whoever pays them the most Generally, but can't you understand galvan Thought it was gonna be more beneficial to him. He's career to go and play at the ball He's just one clubman the he just won player of the year at the dog so it's worth Where you point If he wins the dalle emits worth it Because he could have won the clubman of the year at the Tigers and he could have won the best player in the of the year at the Tigers that's standard. He's performance I don't think he's going would it come on under the So now at the West Tigers like it as well. I Adam do before he got injured his form was unbelievable. Yeah, yep We're gonna take a break come to any number step sunday sinbeen on triple M Teamwork
camaraderie respect All qualities you won't find on this show Is the sunday sinbeen? I welcome back triple M sunday sinbeen we live from combat stadium Ahead of penra taking on the roosters qualifying semi final this afternoon Looking forward to that one dangling a will be a core. We don't have this very often only on the four hour shows here is the raging ball Let's go again what's the buzz No, they're gone. No, and I'll do on that okay anyway raging ball now a little birdie tells me you're in B&G for the last couple of days what's going on? Are they signing you as one of their assistants? 009 Making a comeback
Your coach with Jenna what can I just give mark Hughes? Yeah, I'm a huge rap. He was up there And it was at the carbine club. We both got invited up there the mark. Hughes was a presentation on what he's going through I raised over 45 million dollars when he got up there and spoke there wasn't a dry eye in the house And they said for the first time ever and I don't know how long the Carbine clubs been going in P&G and they have a lot of great speakers got there from Walla B's to all blacks too wherever and First time anybody's ever got a standing ovation So mark Hughes was absolutely out there. It's on the speaking circuit and just these stories as I said he's um I think he employs over 15 researchers now to try to you know Battle this horrible disease a brain cancer and just the way he spoke But yeah, we were both invited up and Draver and P&G and it's probably about eight years since I've been up there I've been up there about six times and had a look at the Airways where the NRL side's gonna Gonna stay and walk around the facilities and how was that um?
I think it's livable You know, I mean, I think it's like like that's where all the big executives from Exxon mobile and all that like so Um, it already pens whether you get cabin fever or not So some guys are like free spirits and like having a bit more space and if you know If you're really disciplined and you're like that and you're gonna be there There's sort of one restaurant and a little pool and and that but um, I'm sure Um, and their training facilities hasn't started yet, but you know They've got to get cracking if they're gonna get it right like I'm not I'm not a developer, but I saw a bit of Rio coming out But um, they got 12 months to build it because you think that For the end of the year you'd want to get over there and start preseason training and you say champion anybody Yeah, uh, when saw the chiefs and they're gonna do a great job, right? So but but like this is the easiest part from yeah, you know And there's such a buzzer around in their sponsorship I think it was $20 million for the Jersey. So just around the place um, it's independent stay in P&G next Wednesday So there was a huge buzz um around it and hopefully they go great
But you're gonna have to judge P&G in the next 10 years on How many local kids come through and what you know and what pathways that they've set up because the tax free money is going to be Gone by then and that's when we'll see how much works been gone So this is an easy part the fishing with dynamite is tax free money They're gonna get all the stars, but I just got a sense with the locals that they were How many of our local kids are gonna get around and you know how much Development's gonna go in there and go well that's the guy that's what everybody doesn't realize yet That's what they want You know, I mean, so like they just want a connection with the community and that's what yeah And I was around with a lot of other companies and you know, therefore three days and Just listen to a lot of people it's hard for me to sit there and not talk and listen But that's the concern for a lot of them is how much connection the players are gonna have and whether they go around and You know early years. It's gonna be safe I felt safe, but I was in a bull-proof car You get good. I can't church it up I was driving around in a bull-proof car and every time I've gone up there I have been with security guards with pieces on them
This time I wasn't but I was in an unmarked car because when you do have that you know, it can I'm attracting more attention But the like was that I spoke to someone been there for 27 years and don't have a problem They've loved it and their kids are gone to school then I say the primary schools are the best when they get the high high school They'll send them the tier says on the goal coach or I'm not terrest Massgrove Mars once with the boarding school So the expats there was one guy there that had been there for 50 years and He won't leave and all of these kids are there and they've gone back there they live so yeah And that sense there's some people that really love it and It's made him and it said that it's made their kids Goody obviously you you were there for important reasons But also you managed to get past the Australian border force When you enter New Zealand and it's the $10,000 in cash Over 10 that's supposed to be the limit I just want to know because you didn't have your wife with you this time So I just wonder how you got all that folding back into the country because the the limit is The keenest reader once I was a bit hard bringing all that back in but other than that yeah
No, it was it was fine I think there's better ways now when they can wire it. I think that's what they do So Ben Dobin right with all of his private school friends have taught me about warring money now There's a there's a warring like What did you teach me don't bring me? And where does it go like like because like the new door So I don't know what you do with your money dober Well done H.O. Have a look at it. This is Sunday's Is coming to Bradley from England. I'm with Uncle Apple from Bollywood. I'd be league world card 2026 it's on Arter Roby league world cup on triple M. It's footy turned up starts October 15 on triple M For McDonald's and Reem hot water triple M rocks footy This is the Sunday's I'll welcome back dribble M Sunday's him and we're live from Combing Stadia Me had a penra taking on the roosters 405 will be your kickoff time James Graham buzzer off field
Gordon talus and bendob and all things to pepper money Hardangan A will be your call for that one as well Let's talk cowboys bundled out last night 26 points to 16 Where do we go from a mark perspective on there? I mean they've had an 80 point flogging they had the worst offensive record in the whole of the N.O. Rill in the top eight Um yes, they got through to the eight but they were bundled out I don't know how you rate the cowboys season in 2026 Gordon talus They'd be disappointed I think with the way That they finished because They probably still could have won that game last night and they weren't anywhere near their best And you got to play your best footy at this time of year We interviewed and I go back to Interview and Ruben Kodder and Toddy Peyton in Vegas and they had a real serious face on and You know they wanted to play for the community and it's a real blue collar area north Queensland and
um I reckon they'll be disappointed because of I think they've got a pretty good roster there and yeah, whether they're good enough to win the comp But I think that they probably Should have won a few more games and finished a little bit higher and got two boys at the chair. Yeah with but they've had injuries as well Like Luke yeah and a positive is Luke's Loki through was unbelievable. Yeah, the continuation improvement of Jackson Purdue I think he's been that's good. They've got Ramyann and she ain't got the full back next year That's the male yeah, and they play Clifford and be it in the halves. Yeah, I'll say this I think teams with better rosters than the cowboys Miss the eight I'm talking dogs Raiders storm broncs broncs So there's four clubs They've done better than them with a weaker roster And I think any side with a team like theirs who makes the eight Like south deserve a pass mark. Yes, I do think but that's still be disappointed. I do think
We talk about south snooting a heart. I think they need a bit more midfield Grunt I really find that a weakness Man did it still got Tamilola they've got Ruben Kota They've got people like McKaylee Yeah, McKaylee being out last night in Kowen Hess with a cat one that that They struggled last night because of their medals you are right in the sense that they lose So who do they lose they lose drink water's gone Murray to a lung he has gone Matt Lodge has gone and if I'm Right saying that Bateman's going as well. So They bring in Cartoa Cianni Cartoa and Jesse Raimian Is too a lungi going as well. Yeah, he's leaving as well. Murray to a lungi. Yeah, he's leaving as well He's gonna rugby or something No, I think I think Be close at home here. I think I think there might be
Well, don't keep secrets Ron radio. He's going to French rugby Union. Sorry. Yeah It's totally patent the guy and taken further Well, they've seen As I said they get a pass back and they do boys, but I there's a lot there's a lot of work to be done And I agree it is a pass mark and there's better bigger clubs with better rosters That they've outperformed in terms of their position on the ladder that my issue with the car boys is They're consistent best with their consistent West It's far too far too big a gap and you know a lot of teams have wobbles in them With the dolphins for example like they're those two games where they were just blown off the park by Manley and Kronola, but that's not consistent with the the car boys they have some Consistently bad for ball games that they play for poor months But they have some really good months as well. Let's not forget they beat the Panthers I did and they defended their way to victory in that game. They beat the roosters at magic round
But those are the great Unneal down to see go Penrith If you go roosters magic random and if you go Brisbane playing for their final They were three games and that's why I think they'd be disappointed because when they're at their best They beat three quality sides and they actually defended in those games. Yeah, so the evidence Well, what it shows is how bloody harder is to be consistent that you just well they're defended three Three on their line last night. Oh, well Yeah, but they were on and they get another set Really poor last night. I thought they're disciplined in particular And you can talk about Kronola having 66% of possession for it was only because of their real discipline And the mistakes drink border made out the back Well, you know last night you know it was telling You drink water's game I looked on NRL stuff because I wanted to check this. Yes, how many tackles you made According to NRL.com how many 17 Is 17 tackles for a port and full back. That's on the statue head and a lot of mist. They had 40 mist is that so yeah, I mean
But you're for that's got to be a record 17 tackles for your full bang if they start slowly next year though But that that that sort of that's at areas of their game that's five games That's in a really different that's really smart coaching but by the sharks like they targeted him They'd use them and then he made me is that because They're full back rolls changed Because they're the first defender of the rack and they're making more tackles on the trial line I think that might be oh to an extent Gordon, but that's still a shot Shogs went after him. I reckon that's got to be a record for a full back 17 tackles is incredible. You think of we had a good producer they'd find out Well, we'll get to that we will get those stats. We're gonna take a break come back Sunday soon being on triple M Teamwork camaraderie respects All qualities you won't find on this show Is there a Sunday simmin Well, the back triple M Sunday simmin live from Combing, Stadia, and all thanks to pepper money if your game plans change
Refine answer home loan with pepper money credit assessment conditions fees charges apply James Graham Gordon-Talus Buzz Rothfield bend olman with you 405 is kickoff roosters and penraith dang a name will be a call for that one. Let's talk West Tigers In Benjy Marshall the power at the West Tigers. Is it weakening with some changes over the last couple of days That we're hearing this place you that Little roughy had double it was it was caught and threw. I tell you what double I've never seen a bloke in Hale And Nando's wrapped the way you just did You must make you must have needed energy after that rowing today I did need to get a bit of energy back into my My self-yes you're right. Yeah, but thank you for noticing Worry about your own eating habits rather than worrying about mine um Benjy Marshall can we talk about can we talk about Benjy Marshall? Please have they made the right decision here buzz by taking a bit of power out of him So he can't select his assistance and that the club can
Well, I'll say there's more than any other coach in the NRL. I think Benjy needs help And we saw that even over a match Yes Yeah, definitely because Madgers got the roster Madgers got experienced assistance Benjy and the West Tigers have struggled for too long And There was great hope early in the season they were going to do something special then Lew I saw him in P&G And then Lew I kept taking off the trips there then he fell out with the halfback Um, who did do it? Yeah, do it. You didn't play down in Canberra And there was talk and I grew with a lot of it that Benjy had a stafffully yes men people who weren't prepared to challenge him When John Morris During the week when they met for review did decide to challenge him Well, they were showing the door. Yeah, he was showing the door So
Management of now stepped in and decided to strip Benjy of sole selection power on his staff Can you just go back to that He's having a review And someone spoke up and said this is what we need to do. Yeah, and they couldn't reach from the Griemann on the way forward So he went That's exactly what that told me that yeah, that's exactly what and that's and that was John and they shook hands and that's John's decision No, I don't know if it was his decision. Okay, well, I don't I don't think he's very honest. I think you're overrun. I don't think he's very happy about it I think the CEO stepped in and said it's pretty obvious These two can't agree on a way forward someone has to go and Benjy had the You know the long contract do we know what the debate was about? Because I'm trying to think there was about How two coaches one head one assistant Can't
Can't be aligned in what the problems of the year were I don't understand how well that happens all that it happens regularly look at Benjy out the Bronco As him and Madge couldn't align he just packed up and went and he could He no longer enjoyed working at the football club. He didn't think he did to Tio and Madge's Relationship breakdown then a lack of alignment Well, I think a lack of alignment I think that more about more philosophy Tio was putting out fires Yeah, you know that the the overall intensity as opposed to Okay, here's got here's the area we need to fix and oh no, I think we should fix something else or Yeah, just seems Well, what I start off by saying I don't think Benjy has enough support And you look at some of the other assistant coaches Around the competition and they have probably shrewd are more experienced
In our real, you know heavy weights Helping out We're all so the way banger's his camera's around. I got we've got gusses. It's had a football. Yeah, and he's got At my brother out of my brother. He's got out of my brother. I tried to tell us he's got he got moved But he's still at the club is it? The custom as Randall Yeah, make pot there's a whole heap of manly you've just gone through this to get caring foreign some more help He got Steve Hanson they went and got yeah, so they're obviously looking for a head of football now general manager football No, because pay riches is officially the head of football which again Look Paddy Richards get great player But I don't know what he said this I did a podcast with Danny Wider during the week on triple M How was that was good? It was fine. It was good that I bought up Pat Richards and I said we great respect the Pat Richards No, is he running a foot yet? He's really supposed basically
What do you laugh at? Well, you're just saying a flat no No, I don't Well, that's what he said you just said no, yeah, but you do not You know what else I said I said that club should go to Blake Sully with an open check book and sign him yeah Well, they because that's they need to they need the top you know they had rich. Oh, yeah They need a solid head of football that can actually had you know, but Richards isn't good Um, I believe just never record He just never record they need they can't get some for Troy Thompson in place. What is he done? Who's who's who what he's Well, my point is right it comes down to the head coach Right, so Frank Penese go do what he's doing at the West. Oh, he's going to what he's doing at some other club Right, so what I'm saying is it comes down To your head coach the ones that drive sustain it and look at all right That's what we go to the court. Yeah Make trust me. I've been in systems there
You've been in systems. I know you've played not now. So be darned tight right a modern tire life Right Did Craig Ballamy make the Melbourne storm or Frank Penesey make the Melbourne storm? Yeah, that's my exact argument So Benji's got to make the West Tigers No, not the best. Yeah, I think it's I think it's more support around him I think it's arguably both of them Gordon and probably Penesey doesn't get maybe the credit that he does is because there's so You know, we sort of jokingly spoke about it with Madgerown the roles and responsibilities of a head coach with sponsors and stuff You let's not forget Benji Marshall is a rookie coach. Can I know also his not here football like the roosters? It would be um, it's a major person Yeah, very much the West 95% of people know on that That's my point and they're a very successful organisation. Yeah, but yeah, but again, they were different They were different
I don't argue and you guys would agree that the Trent Robinson is like Wayne Bennett and a Wayne Bennett close Wayne Bennett runs the organisation Nick Paulitis runs the roosters You know, he makes all the I think he runs it hand in hand with Trent He has so much respect for Trent but but also let also with Benji running the show right He doesn't have the experience Like he's not being in the coaching game long enough. He should have been given these powers In the first place he didn't he's not he's not being around the game in terms of changing what's supposed to be working with him side by side And what was the idea and what was the breakdown there? Just in Pasco and Lee had Japan talismans bought Scott Fulton into the club What's wrong without telling Tim Schoen's that our charge recruitment Their recruitment guy got the bullet and it all fell apart
Tim spat the dummy and walked out And Benji was left on his own air to be tied I'm not saying for one moment that Benji can't coach that is not the point What I'm saying is if you could put the right support network around him and it's like any business It's not just rugby league. It's not It's like your TV show, which is very successful It's not just because of the talent that it's the people around it who build pushing. Yeah And everyone we said near we We don't design everything that said here. We've got great hold on hold on hold on And I'm making the whole look at him the big fella made he put make he put No, sit on I'm serious he needs a better support Yeah, I look at Newcastle they put Peter par there Peter par had a history Phil Gardner used to do that job up there and he was good with poker machines and bestos and so he's
Peter par really good Well, he's got a reputation is being good How many comments just now I'm her listen, I'm just saying how many Considu in the Cowboy how many come city in the North Queensland I don't know one one in what 20 years that's my point It made you missing the argument don't get the best coach And get the best players and they and they drag everybody with them. I'm not saying that those are not everyone's guys Not everyone's Trent Rob not everyone's Bellamy and Cleary And not everyone slot you there's only five great coach to be honest Tigers can get whoever they want as an assistant. It's not gonna make any difference I think I think Well, Tysette Brazil I think they'll talk about Tysette Brazil going well He'd be a great asset well, he's gonna be a great. Are they gonna get some of those players that are gonna be great assets Ben Tio they need Ben Tio be a great asset book. That's what I need. Mate, he's an old tiger
Need to get this got heritage with some of those players the way he played the game He would have respect as soon as so What I'm saying buzzers you gotta get the best guy that you think is for the job. No, well, I think we all agree with that We're gonna take a break. What's the buzz? He's segment is back except nothing up.
