TRIPLE M WHISPER | Sydney NRL Club On The Verge Of Explosive Change!

Turn into BP for quality fuel, drinks, snacks, and quantum points with BP rewards.

That's value at every turn, participating BP sites only.

I can't find a drink.

This is the Triple M whisper.

Yeah, Sydney's biggest gossip segment.

We do this every single day at seven o'clock in the morning.

We do and the whispers are coming in hot and heavy.

They are.

Are you ready for our brand new Triple M whisper?

Yes, please.

I'm hearing that a Sydney based NRR team could be sold and officially announced within the next few weeks.

We've talked, understood to be at an advanced stage behind the scenes.

Sydney Club.

That has my attention.

Like the first thing you think about Sydney clubs, you think of the clubs that are owned by the lease clubs.

Bulldogs is owned by the lease club.

I know that.

Sharks.

The roosters?

Well, the roosters have got Nick Poit.

He's not selling.

No.

No.

No, the roosters are not selling.

Okay, let's go process of elimination.

Who's not selling?

I mean, from a tiger's point of view, Holman's bar is great.

No, it's not in selling.

That's my last week.

They ain't selling.

Yep.

I'm not sure the manly situation is a pen family.

And there's always talk that they could be getting rid of their share, which is 100%.

They could be happy to sell, but don't know.

Because they never divvy that up, do they?

No, they don't.

They don't.

They don't.

The dragon situation with...

They're 50.

Lancaster with wind corporation.

And obviously the...

I don't know.

It's a George's lease club.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

No, I think it's a George's lease club.

But the whole wind corporation is...

That's not...

They're not moving on that.

I...

I don't think.

My mind goes to sales.

It does because there's been talk that Rusty's been wanting to not move on, but he's like,

I mean, happy to sell if he gets the right offer.

And I think James Packer's involved in that as well.

And Mike Canbrook, he's got a share, too.

I mean, the Bulldogs, though, at the same time, mate.

Like, there's always things happen with the dogs.

I mean...

You know what?

I think I got that wrong.

I think the dogs, so the football club owns the lease club.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that could be, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

The sales...

My gut straightaway says sales, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's...

I think a lot of people want it to be the Tigers, with all of them behind the screen.

Well, the homeless bands group, they've got the...

They've got the majority share and they can do...

What did I want?

What did I choose to do?

Yeah.

I feel like there's murky water between South Sydney and...

Like, I'd like to...

Like, do we ring someone to try to find out?

I think I've got someone on the phone for you that might have a bit of insight into this.

That's a quote.

It is.

No, we're not Russell Crowe.

Close.

Just as charismatic.

The wonderful Brent Reen.

Yes!

The Reen!

Hey, guys.

Yeah, the Reen.

For the rusting.

How good am I going?

Reen, you're welcome to the show.

Where this is a big whisper.

That's for calling in.

Right.

You're an avid listener.

What...

What do you got for us here?

Because you can see...

Would you like a spitball in here?

You know more than us.

What do you think?

Well, I reckon you've hit it now on the head.

There's probably only two clubs that could really be in that South, the Manly.

Because, as you guys know, there's a lot of those other...

Pretty clubs and sitting around by leaves clubs and then...

They're not for sale.

And there's obviously been a lot of speculation around those clubs in recent years, South, the Manly.

So, we want to talk about...

You're right about Russell Crowe and his future at South.

You might be on a something, boys.

I...

I haven't heard anything myself.

But, I think you might be on to something.

Can you...

Can you ring around ready and try to get back to us and let us know?

I am going to make some calls up here in this whisper.

You picked my interest, guys.

But, as I said, it can...

I can imagine...

It can only be those...

I'll fill them out now that you can explain it.

Like, you think about the whole canon-brook situation, right?

Yeah.

And, obviously, Rusty...

Rusty does that out of pure love.

Big time.

Packart being involved is a whole Rusty situation.

Yep.

And the canon-brook stuff...

I'm not...

I don't really know how that fits in.

It's a weird one.

That's sold at...

When he sold it last year and then he made a...

A billion dollars or whatever.

I think he's just doing that for a bit of a...

A bit of...

A bit of fun.

But, he's got his own things happening in his own life, canon-brook.

So, that's what stage you're going and I want to return here.

Well, I mean, Rusty would make a hell of a profit on the footy club

if he ever sold his...

His percentage over this world because...

If you remember when he bought it, the club was on sneeze.

It was worth nothing.

But now, I reconciled to one of the most valuable clubs in the game.

I would have argued it's in...

In SUNY, at least, it's...

It's arguably the most valuable club on my side.

I see a classic question, Ready?

What would football clubs go for, like you're in Australia?

Well, that's a very good question.

I'd imagine a club like south worth maybe a hundred million.

Yeah, 50 to 100.

Yeah, 50 to 100.

I mean, you look at the...

Where have you break it down just purely by numbers, Ready?

And you look at the money they get, obviously, from the NRL.

You had sponsorship, tech fans, and memberships.

You want 50 off the band.

You want 50 off the band.

Well, we all make a profit now, by the club's we're making a profit.

They never used to.

Yeah.

Never make a profit.

They're actually worth some money now.

Didn't you have a boy for a couple of years?

I was going to say, what did he buy it for?

They come for you.

I think it was...

Two or three million, wasn't it?

Oh, my head, I reckon, was three million.

Because he brooded three times the court as well.

Geez, now it's worth about a hundred.

Well, he's only got...

I think he's about 25%.

I think he's about 25 million.

Yeah.

Back then it was worth $10 million when he bought it.

They put a price on love.

That's it.

They put a price on your heart.

You know what I mean?

Well, I mean, again, he's looked after a club for a long time.

So, I haven't heard anything.

I'll check it out.

I mean, as you guys mentioned, mainly the other one, the pencil.

But I was...

I don't know much about it, manly, mate.

I was there, neither.

I didn't get the sense that Scott Pence can sell a buddy club

when I spoke to him in Vegas.

So, that would shock me.

I'm wondering, Ben, you know.

Hey, Ben, you're selling?

I'm not going to sell.

Why would we sell?

We can keep it.

Mate, you're not going to sell it.

It's home in bars because that love it.

I'll sell it for $600 million.

I love the dramas.

I ain't selling it.

Oh, I'll never ask you.

The dramas king over there, right?

I appreciate your time, mate.

You are the best in the business.

And we look forward to seeing you in studio soon.

Good to go.
