way

to another grand final

two seconds to go

manly goes to the grand final

they will defend

their title

against you castle

here next weekend

you know what's the favorite part of listening to these every week

right Warren

the making

how good is it

the Michael

you know what it is I was just trying to figure out like

as soon as I heard his voice

they're still

feeling just come back

and even remember in the game

trying to remember the game is best I could because I was 11 years old

but I do remember the game

it's the way

I was trying to you know

in comparing it to play calls and play by play that happened these days

it's the way he's

the volume of his voice increases right to the

the punchline of what he's trying to say

inflection

the inflection

which is very hard now

I don't know if you can hear this over the mic sorry guys

but Jordan Evans is about to sing kiss

can you hear this?

is this going through you

yeah let us know in the text line if you can hear it coming through

now this game

Maddie I never thought of it

how Maddie John's

like he claimed that that was the match

the one new cast of the 97 grand final

what I do remember

it was very boggy

it was very

it was we had a lot of rain

it was a mud

it was quite muddy

yeah

and maybe there

maybe the extra time

I'm sorry maybe

the closeness of the game

had taken it out

but I never thought

but I remember fields

you nailed it

fields you kicked the field goal

and it just went over

because I remember

I think I put pressure on it

because I don't feel

since I was a kid

and he got it

and when he kicked it

it just snuck

over the

over the crossbar

it was a good man

Monday though

that's what Freddy

was in a wheelchair

the groin was cooked

he's groin

yeah about groin

so some of the names

famous names in this game

obviously next to yours

flesh

Freddy Adrian Lamb

Ivan Cleary

Luke Ricketts

your great mate

mainly

consistent of

legendary hill

who's no longer with us

we're talking about him

the other day

twos my coach

in 13, 14 and 15

Spud Carol

and the doctor

John Hopper-Warty

oh yeah

that was a good one

love and social

at the social media

at the moment too

Doctor Hopper

Hopper

oh guys

this one here

this is from Timmy

you've got a text message

that came through

hey boys, would you say

that Andrew Webstar

of the Warriors Variety

must be

the best player

and coach in the game

right now

with what he's done

with Jackson Ford

chees

Timmy

yeah he's the name

that stands out the most

the roster that he took

over by no means

would anyone have said

that it was a top four roster

he's made the finals

in two of his three years

so far

is that correct?

tell me this

tell me this

because I always heard

Aussie coaches

going over to coach

the Warriors

never worked

and they didn't understand

the culture

the Kiwi culture

do you feel he would have

had to adapt

to that

or do you feel

that maybe the players

have adapted

to him

he definitely understands

and brought into the culture

now people forget

he was with Ivan

back in the day

when Ivan

so he went over there

as an assistant

ten years previous

so he understood the culture

understands the

Polynesian way

understands the history

of the club

so that was a huge advantage

for sure going over there

but

what is it?

when they say

the Kiwi culture

because I hear that

I hear it thrown out

but I don't really understand

what I mean by that

look I've been over here

for so long

when I got the opportunity

to go back in 2010

and play for the New Zealand

Māori

the one thing that I took back

that from

a lot of that

is when I was

welcomed

on

on to my eyes

which I guess the

what would the

it would be

not religious

just the spiritual

landmarks

which represent

your tribe

where you fought

the kiwi

they call it the kiwi

and I think they're

the one thing that I found

that I picked up

from my time

especially on that

in that New Zealand

Māori camp in particular

was

that being very in touch

with obviously

your descendants

and the people you come from

but the land

in the area was really

important

similar to the indigenous

as well

how that's

really important to them

so

I understand that

but in relation to rugby

league

you've got to go over there

you've got to understand

culture

yes

is it something

Aussies

when I grew up

you'd play

you'd get on the pierce

you'd go out for two days

then is that

something

nowhere near as much

so you've got

more of a church culture

understanding that

with the Polynesian kids

going to a church

is really important to

not all of them

but a lot of them

and in the

Polynesian

and even the more

so the Polynesian

more so than kiwi

Māori is a little bit

cheekier

but very respectful

to your elders

so you've talked about

this before

you know

you would have met a player

maybe a summer

or tongue over the years

take some two or three years

to come out of their shell

you know

it's really accept

and you've sort of

got to build that

trust with them

a little bit more

right

whereas Aussies you know

a little bit more knock

about

you know

you can

hit it off straightaway

so

he's clearly got

all that covered

at the moment

and he's doing an outstanding job over there

yeah so apologies

again if you've just tuned in

we've got Jordan

and he's been

and they're blasting his music

so I apologise

if it's coming through

the effect

Robert says

there's a typical

manly

being unprofessional

that musing in the background

he's bleeding my ears

I can tell you this

you can dance

my man

Jordan can dance

he's in for a big night

he's in for a big ass

he's been on the voice

or something

as we welcome the

cheerleaders

this is the

the seabirds

are they called the seabirds?

well they used to be

called the seabirds

back in my day

is it true

that you weren't allowed

to fraternise

with the cheerleaders

I mean it's a big

going NFL

no fraternising

I think that started

around my era

when I arrived

that was

I think

I think Spud's wife

might even be

the leader of the seabirds

she was the

instructor

whatever the coach

the coach

Spud to be listening

maybe Spud can

yeah

Spudley

yeah so yeah

there was

yeah

none of that

hang on

we got a good text

from 9-5-3

he said

kromie boys

can you kromie please

back

back

back

back

back

I've been told

that Nathan Cleary

would be the head coach

of the future second

New Zealand team

ooh

that's why he sent

jet over

ah

and used to the

what did you call it?

acclimatised

to the

marae

marae

do you get offended

if we don't say

marae

correctly

I don't

I don't

but I've grown up

in my whole life

yeah

I think

effort
