[14:16] Speaker 2: people get there. With towns, particularly country towns, get a
[14:19] Speaker 2: bad rap.
[14:20] Speaker 5: Sometimes people go, oh, you know the people there, they're
[14:22] Speaker 5: very insulow and.
[14:23] Speaker 2: Jennophobic and all that. It's just it's just complete bullshit.
[14:26] Speaker 5: I remember that when we went to the school across
[14:29] Speaker 5: the primary schools and pats it like. I remember there
[14:34] Speaker 5: was a Vietnamese family that came over as immigrants and
[14:39] Speaker 5: they went to the school. Like three of the kids
[14:41] Speaker 5: went to school, the most popular kids in the school. Tongue,

[14:46] Speaker 5: and everyone he got up to it, except the crowd
[14:48] Speaker 5: went all the kids went wild, sort of flies in
[14:51] Speaker 5: the face.
[14:51] Speaker 2: A lot of the bullshit the people push around. Where's
[14:54] Speaker 2: tongue now? Tongue, I don't know. I don't know. And
[14:57] Speaker 2: what was he winning? What like sprint? I jump? Very athletic. Yeah,
[15:02] Speaker 2: you played rugby league. He played in the wing. Tongue
[15:06] Speaker 2: for all these things. I don't think really tongue like
[15:09] Speaker 2: the physical part of rugbul league.
[15:12] Speaker 5: From last thing I checked, and I think Vietnam. Vietnam
[15:15] Speaker 5: is going to be the twentieth team in the.
[15:18] Speaker 2: Guys.
[15:18] Speaker 3: You were telling us before you got the podiatress after this, Yeah.
[15:22] Speaker 2: That's right, because Nan said, you have some of the
[15:24] Speaker 2: ugliest turnouts she's ever scene. She seems I'm not.
[15:26] Speaker 1: Going to show you.
[15:28] Speaker 2: No, no, I won't get you to take.
[15:29] Speaker 1: Stretcher the leg over here.
[15:34] Speaker 2: So they gave a cooper or he doesn't do it
[15:38] Speaker 2: with me anymore?
[15:40] Speaker 4: Can to a pods because last time I tried to
[15:43] Speaker 4: cut his turnouts and cut his toe and he didn't
[15:48] Speaker 4: carry on. I couldn't believe it.
[15:49] Speaker 1: What about poor girl used to cut athles fingernails when

[16:05] Speaker 4: the it's all right, don't worry again.
[16:10] Speaker 5: Talking about like the town though, like the city, I
[16:13] Speaker 5: think it's a bypractor when you're younger, because when I
[16:15] Speaker 5: was younger and lived here, I always felt like the
[16:17] Speaker 5: main street and everything was all action going on. Now
[16:19] Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a byprac being down a
[16:21] Speaker 5: Newcastle then Sydney, but I come here and.
[16:25] Speaker 2: It's so peaceful and quiet. Has there always been this way?
[16:27] Speaker 4: Have I?
[16:28] Speaker 1: Well? When we were first married, I remember I had
[16:32] Speaker 1: a mate lived over stock and the ass was over
[16:34] Speaker 1: a barbecue on a Sunday. Everyone went to church Sunday
[16:38] Speaker 1: borders that everybody went, had a barbecue or a bake dinner,
[16:42] Speaker 1: and there was there was no traffic. I remember we
[16:47] Speaker 1: put you with the preyer. We pushed her over to
[16:49] Speaker 1: stop and come back late afternoon five or six o'clock.
[16:53] Speaker 4: We used to have tennis nights on Saturday night the kids,
[16:56] Speaker 4: that's right. But after the football we go back to
[16:59] Speaker 4: Peter's and the kids would play outside, played footy. Matt
[17:02] Speaker 4: fell in a rose garden one day, covered in scratch.
[17:07] Speaker 2: As happened to make sister.
[17:09] Speaker 4: Said, when I went to pick him up from school,
[17:11] Speaker 4: she said, oh, I saw that's legs. And he told
[17:14] Speaker 4: me that if he was a pedance and selling the
[17:17] Speaker 4: rose garden, I said, he wasn't drinking. The sister playing football.
[17:22] Speaker 1: Well, wasn't she? Yeah, sister, she was, wasn't she? She?
[17:28] Speaker 2: She was a real tough hole stick and you and
[17:31] Speaker 2: second class. She loved the rugby league that much.
[17:34] Speaker 5: Used to watch so where the convent used to see
[17:36] Speaker 5: Cooper and they used to they used to live there, all.
[17:39] Speaker 2: The nuns over it used to overlook.
[17:42] Speaker 5: The rugby league field just over here, back in the
[17:44] Speaker 5: old Assess Sports ground. So she used to go up
[17:47] Speaker 5: every day and watch Dad's side play and literally kneel
[17:50] Speaker 5: and pray as the game.
[17:51] Speaker 2: Was taking.
[17:54] Speaker 1: Started trying she gets the rosary birds out.
[17:57] Speaker 3: It seems kind of weird for assist or a nun
[18:00] Speaker 3: to be to bean league.
[18:03] Speaker 2: That was the nature of the town. Everyone everyone supported it.
[18:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, you came to the football ground, you couldn't get in.
[18:09] Speaker 4: So we're standing.
[18:10] Speaker 1: Before where we lived. Here, we're surrounded by tubs and
[18:15] Speaker 1: everyone was carl Miders. Ninety percent of the blokes were Caliders.
[18:19] Speaker 1: So Sunday Morton, they'd get to the pub at ten o'clock.
[18:22] Speaker 1: United Service on the corner was the only pub that
[18:25] Speaker 1: had a two across the road, so they'd get all
[18:29] Speaker 1: the blokes, put their bets on, fill up and they'd
[18:33] Speaker 1: be all there for the third grade at twelve o'clock. Yeah,
[18:36] Speaker 1: and they drink tins all afternoon and then back to
[18:39] Speaker 1: the pub.
[18:40] Speaker 2: It was. It was massive there. Maybe it couldn't make
[18:42] Speaker 2: The hill was just jammed.
[18:43] Speaker 5: The whole ground, particularly those big games were can playing
[18:46] Speaker 5: the local derby against Curry, I like the grand stand
[18:52] Speaker 5: and the hill was just erupted. At the time, the
[18:54] Speaker 5: whole hill erupted into a right after one.
[18:59] Speaker 1: Just an order gave Lobel Derby sesstrop it.
[19:01] Speaker 5: Curry had to stop the game so people could jump
[19:03] Speaker 5: onto the field. Remember another time there was a stint
[19:05] Speaker 5: that broke out and one of the Sestinel players not
[19:08] Speaker 5: going to say who It.
[19:09] Speaker 2: Is a bit of a sort I can imagine being
[19:10] Speaker 2: a bit of embarrassing saw point. He actually jumped the
[19:13] Speaker 2: fence and ran into the crowd to get away from.
[19:17] Speaker 1: Well Joe, I come here to play. In seventy three
[19:22] Speaker 1: nine seventy two, Cestrop won the cop and they boot
[19:26] Speaker 1: mate under the grand final, so we played him in
[19:29] Speaker 1: the opening game here in seventy three. It was my
[19:31] Speaker 1: first game at the club and there was that many
[19:35] Speaker 1: people there. The football ground was actually a cricket marble,
[19:38] Speaker 1: so it was round, so you had twenty murders from
[19:41] Speaker 1: the sideline back to the fence where you run out
[19:43] Speaker 1: on the ground for the rest of shed. They had
[19:45] Speaker 1: to put all the kids on the sideline because they
[19:48] Speaker 1: just couldn't fit it in another person in the ground
[19:52] Speaker 1: and we never run under the ground, bend to walk
[19:54] Speaker 1: and step over kids to get onto play.
[19:57] Speaker 5: Many people again to the bygone areas, like because we
[19:59] Speaker 5: have a of you bring Jackie bringing that in by
[20:03] Speaker 5: the way at the front.
[20:03] Speaker 2: This is clear, this is going to be a part
[20:05] Speaker 2: of our podcast. Room found this today. Yeah, it's it's
[20:10] Speaker 2: sweet Garry.
[20:11] Speaker 7: Is that so you captain here?

[20:23] Speaker 5: his a c L Yeah, like decades before they knew
[20:26] Speaker 5: what to do.
[20:27] Speaker 1: Yeah. And when I used to run, now used to wabble.
[20:32] Speaker 1: It was that there, so they used to strap me up.
[20:34] Speaker 1: I was very luckily. I played another four years after that.
[20:38] Speaker 1: I had the same injury as Reg Gasney I had
[20:41] Speaker 1: on a kangaroo too. He went away as captain coach
[20:43] Speaker 1: of the Kangaroos YEP, and he got the same injurcy
[20:46] Speaker 1: that I was at ACL. They didn't know much about
[20:49] Speaker 1: it those days. They couldn't. There was the old guest work.
[20:52] Speaker 1: So I went down to him and he actually transferred
[20:56] Speaker 1: a ligament moodial across to the age.
[20:59] Speaker 2: They just put the other side.
[21:01] Speaker 1: They put bolts in my knee when I had an
[21:05] Speaker 1: enjoint replacement. I was going down. I was only supposed
[21:08] Speaker 1: to be there about two hours. I was down there
[21:10] Speaker 1: five hours and started a panic, and she went and
[21:13] Speaker 1: asked his sister what's going on. That was the problem.
[21:16] Speaker 1: They had to take the bolts out. They had to
[21:18] Speaker 1: retransfer the ligament back to the other side and then
[21:21] Speaker 1: put another knee join. It was a big operation, so
[21:23] Speaker 1: doctor Cummings, Bill Cummings, and he had a party doctor vote.
