[2:55] Speaker 4: qui he didn't get.
[2:56] Speaker 1: To play A billy probably would have done it, but
[2:58] Speaker 1: he was away that way. Yeah, call up eight hours
[3:02] Speaker 1: before kick off.
[3:03] Speaker 2: You must to do a speech like here we go,
[3:06] Speaker 2: it's a drinky mates chaming and made all.
[3:10] Speaker 1: I can't remember that too much. I was more nervous
[3:12] Speaker 1: about what I was going to say.
[3:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember who did mine because remember you
[3:16] Speaker 3: were on it was in COVID and you were on
[3:18] Speaker 3: zoom you mum. And I don't think Jack was on it,
[3:20] Speaker 3: but your muma there. I think Belly. I think it
[3:24] Speaker 3: was just belly a.
[3:25] Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Son.

[3:38] Speaker 2: Big speech played. Yeah, three words. I started crying. Anyway,
[3:42] Speaker 2: my RABBITO is one.
[3:43] Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't remember. That was a bit of a
[3:45] Speaker 5: hard one. I remember it's COVID times. It was very unique.

[3:50] Speaker 5: You did you did present my Newcastle one in twenty
[3:53] Speaker 5: twenty one.
[3:54] Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard your Newcastle presentation of what was forgettable?
[3:58] Speaker 2: Forget it. I had this amazing speech plan. I said
[4:01] Speaker 2: three words, started crying and had to sit down.
[4:03] Speaker 3: Yeah, but I reckon everyone given like who you are, right,
[4:07] Speaker 3: Maddie John's I imagine a lot of people would have
[4:10] Speaker 3: expected you to have a great speech, like there's actually
[4:12] Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on you in those times, a
[4:14] Speaker 3: lot of an excellent speech. But yeah, I reckon you
[4:16] Speaker 3: would have been quite overwhelmed with there that.
[4:18] Speaker 5: Newcastle one I'm pretty sure they had him ready to
[4:20] Speaker 5: give this to a Chilean speech for us to have
[4:22] Speaker 5: this Cracker game on All Boys Day.
[4:24] Speaker 2: We've got beat sixty to like thirty.
[4:26] Speaker 3: Or something like that. Some ship score sixty. Yeah, like
[4:30] Speaker 3: that's some tri scoring game.
[4:33] Speaker 2: Maybe we're just looking as I was sitting there, master
[4:35] Speaker 2: the team bet to get the call up or look
[4:36] Speaker 2: to the left. Jake Clifford was there just to ride
[4:38] Speaker 2: for club Luke. My god, what a great pair of leagues.
[4:41] Speaker 5: Oh yeah, great pits zero where's two belts?
[4:48] Speaker 2: Yeah? Jah t, it's good to see him go. Good
[4:53] Speaker 2: b Yeah back end of the year. It was fantastic.
[4:55] Speaker 4: Was one of our best, to be honest, terrific bloke
[4:58] Speaker 4: taken more opportunities too, like it was the ball warm corner,
[5:01] Speaker 4: confident in that.
[5:01] Speaker 3: So is he like he's still there at the club
[5:04] Speaker 3: next year?
[5:04] Speaker 2: Yeah? No, that he signed one all year Fellow Italian.
[5:06] Speaker 3: Fellow Italian.
[5:07] Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
[5:08] Speaker 4: I don't know if you can play, though. I think
[5:10] Speaker 4: it's great. I think it's a great grand prayer. I
[5:13] Speaker 4: think so because I think it should be a bit
[5:14] Speaker 4: played by now. I mean, yeah, it's a long of YouTube. Boy,
[5:17] Speaker 4: you should be able.
[5:17] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a hot field in the hearts for really.
[5:20] Speaker 2: Yeah, Cooper got picked for leading them. Pulled out late.
[5:23] Speaker 3: Oh I had to because I was out of a
[5:25] Speaker 3: contract at the time. This was limbo and I either
[5:29] Speaker 3: risked going over and then my manly deal falling through
[5:32] Speaker 3: and then I get hurt over in Italy, or I
[5:36] Speaker 3: stay here, I grind, I keep working hard, I get
[5:39] Speaker 3: my deal and then look, I'm paying dividends. Now you
[5:43] Speaker 3: know what a year I had there.
[5:44] Speaker 1: Regretful not doing it when I look.
[5:46] Speaker 3: Back now, probably because we're doing a pretty cool trip.
[5:48] Speaker 3: But then you know what happens. Then then your preseason
[5:51] Speaker 3: start dates push back and then you're off to a
[5:53] Speaker 3: bit like unless I've been at a club for three
[5:55] Speaker 3: three years already, I'm comfortable. Then I can. You can
[5:57] Speaker 3: have the late start comfortable. No, never get hey, never
[6:01] Speaker 3: never ever feel can't ever give. You should always never
[6:03] Speaker 3: give in in the gym, he should never stick to
[6:06] Speaker 3: the same way. You always want to be increasing, even
[6:07] Speaker 3: if it's like two kids half, just keep getting these.
[6:12] Speaker 1: I actually didn't bench most of the year.
[6:14] Speaker 4: I had a few AC's in that so dumb bells
[6:16] Speaker 4: I can get probably like forty fives through.
[6:19] Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you doing that?
[6:22] Speaker 2: Fifty five? I think walked into that one drinking?
[6:26] Speaker 3: Yea drinks? Can I can? I bring up a story
[6:29] Speaker 3: that Dad always tells, and I know you you hate
[6:32] Speaker 3: it when he tells it because he had so much GST.
[6:34] Speaker 1: There's going to be something else is going to be
[6:35] Speaker 1: added until it now.
[6:37] Speaker 3: The story of you being a two can scream after
[6:40] Speaker 3: two beers that the night that we went into the
[6:43] Speaker 3: ivy with a bit of a crew. And Dad always
[6:45] Speaker 3: tells a story about him warning you not to drink
[6:48] Speaker 3: too much and then you coming home half an hour
[6:50] Speaker 3: later because you weren't allowed in anywhere. How do you
[6:53] Speaker 3: want to tell it your version? I want to get
[6:55] Speaker 3: drink his reaction and maybe if you see there's any
[6:58] Speaker 3: GST added, you can jump in drinks.
[6:59] Speaker 2: Actually yeah, well I'm sitting there watching your you blokes
[7:02] Speaker 2: to start to consume beer were drinking.

[13:46] Speaker 3: It's coming out, yeah this January.
[13:47] Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Italy, take it down the color.
[13:51] Speaker 2: I have a nice meal.
[13:53] Speaker 1: I heard that's a good place.
[13:54] Speaker 2: We'll go down later. I'll introduce you to people.
[13:59] Speaker 3: I'll ask you what like to have long relationships? Imagine
[14:03] Speaker 3: there's hard times, Imagine there's good times. What's the biggest
[14:06] Speaker 3: lesson you've learned your relationships? God, I'll start with you.
[14:10] Speaker 1: The old clache is honesty. But sometimes yeah, maybe.
[14:14] Speaker 4: The thing is that they're always right, spotted, always right,
[14:19] Speaker 4: if they're not just disagree.
[14:22] Speaker 3: Do you think is it the arguing thing? There's just
[14:24] Speaker 3: there's there, always found that a.
[14:26] Speaker 1: Little bickering, just the bickering passive aggress Yeah. And they
[14:29] Speaker 1: think they can do this better than you.
[14:31] Speaker 3: And that's so what you're saying is to the people,
[14:33] Speaker 3: is it better to just roll over and just to
[14:35] Speaker 3: meet your wrong all the time?
[14:36] Speaker 1: Not all the time. There's a good time where you
[14:38] Speaker 1: stand up for yourself.
[14:39] Speaker 4: But you've got to read the room spot, especially when
[14:42] Speaker 4: you have two kids as well, Read the room. If
[14:43] Speaker 4: I'm more there because they're tired, cranky, read the room
[14:47] Speaker 4: and just just let it go.
[14:48] Speaker 1: But sometimes you need to stand up for yourself about honesty.
[14:52] Speaker 2: Not too much honesty. I'd say six out of ten
[14:59] Speaker 2: have your own little suit.
[15:00] Speaker 3: Think white lives are okay, little white lives. Scott, like,
[15:02] Speaker 3: is there anything that did you just blow your nose
[15:04] Speaker 3: into a tissue? You've got snot all over it?
[15:08] Speaker 2: Yeah?
[15:08] Speaker 3: Snot in your mustard? No, no, it's on your lucky
[15:13] Speaker 3: That is holy shit. Don't even edit that out. That
[15:15] Speaker 3: was amazing. It s Nott, you just blew that, just
[15:17] Speaker 3: blew his nose into a tissue, but then had snot
[15:20] Speaker 3: all in his mustard iCal tissue.
[15:22] Speaker 2: It's you know those like kitchen wipes, stay paper town,
[15:27] Speaker 2: paper town kitchen. But anyway, boys, honesty, not too much honesty.
[15:35] Speaker 2: But I'm a drinking. One thing I have found is this,
[15:38] Speaker 2: and I did be reading on it, and it's factual,
[15:42] Speaker 2: is that when okay, when men, when when you have
[15:46] Speaker 2: an argument, right, Men's let's say anger peaks at about
[15:52] Speaker 2: one half two minutes, right, and you start to calm.
[15:56] Speaker 2: Women's peaks at about ten to twelve minutes, Which is
[15:59] Speaker 2: true because you know when you have an argument and
[16:01] Speaker 2: you go away and think about it. Yeah, I'll go
[16:03] Speaker 2: back and they're still going that way. Email so for
[16:07] Speaker 2: me and have a blue I just go book and
[16:09] Speaker 2: I actually leave the house. I'm going for an hour,
[16:12] Speaker 2: go down, have a coffee, come back.
[16:14] Speaker 3: That's a great point because I often find that, like say,
[16:17] Speaker 3: if you and I fight, or Jack and I fight,
[16:20] Speaker 3: if we just don't talk to each other for an
[16:22] Speaker 3: arm and at the next morning, good as gold. Everyone's sweet,
[16:25] Speaker 3: everyone's forgotten about it. Everyone kind of has short term anger.
[16:27] Speaker 3: But if you do that with your partner or your
[16:30] Speaker 3: mother or a woman in your life, it's well like
[16:32] Speaker 3: you have to get on the front foot and solve
[16:34] Speaker 3: it because the longer you leave them all they have
[16:36] Speaker 3: time to think and the more they'll actually evolve it
[16:40] Speaker 3: into your head.
[16:41] Speaker 1: And then I'll be sitting on the couch and then
[16:42] Speaker 1: they'll go so and just look at you.
[16:45] Speaker 2: And you go like the boys are back. That Trisha's
[16:50] Speaker 2: ability to rewrite history is just she's like an adonisat
[16:55] Speaker 2: She is incredible. You just you can see her do
[16:58] Speaker 2: something sometimes and I'll say you did that, No I didn't,
[17:02] Speaker 2: and I'll say and I'll say, just don't worry. But
[17:06] Speaker 2: it's just honestly, just just let it go. Just let
[17:10] Speaker 2: it go. But two years coming up drinking that's good.
[17:13] Speaker 2: How many two girls?
[17:15] Speaker 1: Two girls?
[17:15] Speaker 4: Awesome two and a half and six months almost seven
[17:18] Speaker 4: months now.
[17:18] Speaker 1: So proud of you, thank you. Just coming back from yeah,
[17:22] Speaker 1: good family holiday.
[17:24] Speaker 4: Got the all inclusive package and the wife probably had
[17:29] Speaker 4: three cocktails all up.
[17:30] Speaker 2: So that was a waste of money.
[17:32] Speaker 1: That was good. Trish rips we go there, yeah now,
[17:38] Speaker 1: but it was fun.
[17:38] Speaker 2: It was good for people over there, the Fiji people.
[17:41] Speaker 1: Yeh. The little one calls every Fijian buller?
[17:45] Speaker 2: Is that buller?
[17:46] Speaker 4: And then when we come back here, if she sees
[17:49] Speaker 4: people that you know from Fiji or not.
[17:52] Speaker 1: Is that buller? Is that buller? Is that buller?
[17:54] Speaker 3: That's a bad habit.
[17:55] Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be. It's not too it's well.
[17:58] Speaker 2: That's a dreambler about that.
[18:01] Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what's it is funny because if you're
[18:03] Speaker 3: a Fijian in a rugbya league side, I swear all
[18:05] Speaker 3: of their nickname is buller. Because yeah, he come at
[18:08] Speaker 3: me that he was just buller and he loved I
[18:10] Speaker 3: think he gave it to himself. He did, because he
[18:12] Speaker 3: just start saying, oh buller, like like I'm bullock. And
[18:15] Speaker 3: then but then even when I've played with other Fijians,
[18:17] Speaker 3: the boys called them buller as well.
[18:20] Speaker 1: Is proably the only one that we didn't call buller really.
[18:26] Speaker 2: Was that any two meets you know of gave Himsel's nicknames,
[18:29] Speaker 2: gave himself nickname Adam Dougal gave himself mad that.
[18:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, well the first one that comes to mind is
[18:36] Speaker 3: and we've spun this. I've spun this before. Christian Welch
[18:38] Speaker 3: used to try to call himself the White Rhino and
[18:40] Speaker 3: then we als to call him the Yeah, that was
[18:42] Speaker 3: so good. That was probably the best that was he
[18:45] Speaker 3: tried to and you know, like the best was the
[18:49] Speaker 3: best part about it was like when he first started
[18:52] Speaker 3: doing it, he'd say it in like general conversation, Like
[18:55] Speaker 3: I remember I was sitting there one time he was
[18:56] Speaker 3: telling a story. He was like, yeah, you know I was.
[18:59] Speaker 3: I was back with all my schoolmates and we're drinking
[19:01] Speaker 3: from Villanova and we're having a beer and then I
[19:04] Speaker 3: was doing like a streak. I was naked streaking and
[19:06] Speaker 3: all the boys going r R, and like just tried
[19:09] Speaker 3: to throw it into a story and I was like
[19:11] Speaker 3: I remember looking around, everyone was like, it's called himself rhino.
[19:15] Speaker 2: Effectively, he's wrong because the term white rhiner is related
[19:19] Speaker 2: to the color of the rhino. It's related to the
[19:21] Speaker 2: size of the jaw. He actually was white rhino. And
[19:24] Speaker 2: then the Honkys went there and they used to get
[19:27] Speaker 2: the mixed up and they just set up bug white rhiner.
[19:31] Speaker 2: So the white rhino it's actually should be it's it's
[19:33] Speaker 2: the jaw.
[19:38] Speaker 3: I said this to someone last night because when I
[19:41] Speaker 3: rang here, I was with my mate Harry Haywood and
[19:43] Speaker 3: his partner Alex. We were taught you come up in
[19:45] Speaker 3: conversation and she's met you once down at the Colaro
[19:48] Speaker 3: and she goes, you great, great place, really good and intro.
[19:53] Speaker 3: She was going. Your dad was sitting next to me
[19:56] Speaker 3: and he said he was telling me just the most
[19:59] Speaker 3: pointless his jury lessons. One on like the Algerian border,
[20:04] Speaker 3: and then there was another story about added ass and puma,
[20:06] Speaker 3: about the da and how like they they had a
[20:11] Speaker 3: feud and then one made added as one made puma.
[20:14] Speaker 3: But she goes where does like? She goes, why does
[20:15] Speaker 3: your dad know all this pointless information? And I said, Alex,
[20:19] Speaker 3: it's like he has stored all this information for conversation.
[20:23] Speaker 3: But it's like he's hit his It's like on an iPhone,
[20:26] Speaker 3: he's hit his maximum storage. So he's got all this
[20:29] Speaker 3: stuff and he would just whenever he has a new audience,
[20:32] Speaker 3: he just unloads all this storage onto someone.
[20:34] Speaker 1: Stuff could come here.
[20:35] Speaker 2: Ye, did you know that? You do know the history
[20:37] Speaker 2: of ad Pumid?
[20:41] Speaker 3: Do you ask him if he wants to know?
[20:42] Speaker 2: Do you want to know? Take me one minute? Yeah,
[20:44] Speaker 2: I have a Pumid and ambassador. So this is interesting.
[20:47] Speaker 3: What's the catch Do they have a catch cry? Do
[20:50] Speaker 3: they have like like puma responsibility that they don't have
[20:55] Speaker 3: like a slogan.
[20:58] Speaker 2: We'll come up with fuman pants.
[21:03] Speaker 4: Now.
[21:03] Speaker 2: So it starts they were the Dassler brothers, right, and
[21:07] Speaker 2: what they did they invented back in the day track
[21:09] Speaker 2: and field athletes would wear almost football boots, and they
[21:12] Speaker 2: invented the Dassler, which was the running spike. And then right,
[21:15] Speaker 2: we're going to get it on the world stage. So
[21:17] Speaker 2: they smuggled it to Jesse Owen, Jesse Owens in the
[21:21] Speaker 2: Nazi Olympics, right, gave it to him. Jesse Owens broke
[21:24] Speaker 2: all the records, I broke the world record, won all
[21:26] Speaker 2: these legend legendary anyway, World War two breaks out. Anyway,
[21:32] Speaker 2: they got conscripted to get into the German German Army.
[21:35] Speaker 2: But what happened was Addie was a bit of a
[21:38] Speaker 2: man around town and he got himself out of national
[21:40] Speaker 2: service and didn't go to war. And his brother Rudy
[21:43] Speaker 2: went to war and was captured by the Allies and
[21:45] Speaker 2: was a prisoner of war. Anyway, when he came out
[21:47] Speaker 2: and returned to Stuttgart, he found out that Addie had
[21:51] Speaker 2: a relationship with his girlfriend while he was in the
[21:54] Speaker 2: prison of war camp. So he said, I'm going to
[21:56] Speaker 2: dissolve the company of the Dassler company. I'm going to
[21:59] Speaker 2: go across the river stood Guard and I'm going to
[22:01] Speaker 2: ruin the company start my own brand. So das Werd
[22:03] Speaker 2: become Addie dass and Rudy Dassel started Puma.
[22:07] Speaker 1: There you go in Algeria.
[22:09] Speaker 2: No, No, in Germany.
[22:10] Speaker 3: Where did you get Algeria?
[22:12] Speaker 2: The mixed stories.
[22:16] Speaker 1: Yeah, I have actually caught a German.
[22:17] Speaker 2: I should know that. Yeah, German. Granddad was from Wurtzburg.
[22:22] Speaker 3: You're like Frankfurt.
[22:23] Speaker 1: I went to Frankfurt luck last year.
[22:27] Speaker 3: Actually, you're a fan of like Bratwurst and things like that.
[22:30] Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't want the brat worst. I went October
[22:32] Speaker 4: Fairs and the pork knuckle do a good pork knckle?
[22:35] Speaker 3: Did you have us October? I've always wanted to go.
[22:37] Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great trip.
[22:38] Speaker 4: It was my brother's Bucks party, so get out Josh
[22:41] Speaker 4: brad the eldest, the accountant.
[22:43] Speaker 3: Bradley the account great place to go.
[22:45] Speaker 2: Great, it was Germany's Great. Do you have a reputation
[22:48] Speaker 2: in the Germans? AnyWho?
[22:54] Speaker 3: I just I literally just saw my career flash from
[22:57] Speaker 3: my eyes. This is going to bring the podcast on.
[22:59] Speaker 2: Stuff was funny.
[23:00] Speaker 4: But four ingredients of the beer? You don't get hung
[23:02] Speaker 4: over over there? Legally they can only have four ingredients,
[23:06] Speaker 4: are pretty sure?
[23:07] Speaker 2: Yeah? Right? The East Order and probably they say that
[23:11] Speaker 2: the purest beer you buy to boylose becks. That's what
[23:13] Speaker 2: I was told my mate Brian Carney when he come
[23:15] Speaker 2: against mate, buy becks who won't get a hangover. So
[23:18] Speaker 2: we bought some. I wake up at the morning full fuck,
[23:22] Speaker 2: I'm glad I haven't got a hangover.
[23:25] Speaker 3: Probably defeats the purpose if you have a hundred of them.
[23:27] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[23:28] Speaker 3: Hey, let's get get to some of the Melbourne storm
[23:31] Speaker 3: stories because we played the other down there. But first
[23:33] Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you because you're the kind of
[23:36] Speaker 3: player drinking right who is very attack focus.
[23:39] Speaker 1: You know.
[23:39] Speaker 3: I mean I would like similar to like a Reese Walsh,
[23:42] Speaker 3: a Billy Slater, somebody who puts a lot of energy
[23:44] Speaker 3: into attack. And sometimes that can come with their it's
[23:46] Speaker 3: great watch, great to watch, excellent to watch, and that's
[23:49] Speaker 3: what every regular league team needs. But initially you and
[23:53] Speaker 3: Craig Bellamy's relationship because he's someone who probably doesn't encourage
[23:56] Speaker 3: that kind of football, very defensive mindset. How was that
[24:00] Speaker 3: relationship early on?
[24:02] Speaker 4: It wasn't too bad here, I think at the probably
[24:06] Speaker 4: the first year, kind of probably a bit nice to
[24:08] Speaker 4: me at times, and yeah, look I did take a
[24:10] Speaker 4: fair bit of risk and the defensive side of it.
[24:12] Speaker 4: Night stuff wasn't my main priority, so probably got frustrated
[24:16] Speaker 4: a little bit with them anyway, Yeah, exactly when I
[24:20] Speaker 4: remember when I first went down there, I had really
[24:22] Speaker 4: bad hands. I couldn't catch the ball a lot, really, Yeah,
[24:24] Speaker 4: I just struggled with a concentration maybe or think about
[24:27] Speaker 4: what's going on.
[24:27] Speaker 1: And yeah, there was honestly opened a couple of weeks
[24:30] Speaker 1: in a.
[24:31] Speaker 4: Row there where I was getting abused every session for
[24:33] Speaker 4: dropping the ball, and I.
[24:35] Speaker 1: Was like, blood, this guy is a lunatic. Yeah, looking
[24:38] Speaker 1: back on now, we probably need to get a little
[24:40] Speaker 1: bit more.
[24:40] Speaker 3: But I remember some of the stuff you used to
[24:42] Speaker 3: do at training because I used to watch, like out
[24:44] Speaker 3: the clips, I watched training back all the time. I
[24:47] Speaker 3: loved Tuddle.
[24:47] Speaker 2: I was slight for Huddle.
[24:49] Speaker 3: I loved it. I used to watch all the training
[24:51] Speaker 3: back and I would always watch. I'd love watching you
[24:54] Speaker 3: on Huddle all the time, just because you were so attacked,
[24:57] Speaker 3: focused all the time, and geezu, you had some sessions
[24:59] Speaker 3: where you would put seven eight tries on, but then
[25:02] Speaker 3: you had some sessions where, you know the opposite, you
[25:05] Speaker 3: didn't put tries.
[25:07] Speaker 1: Consistent, inconsistent.
[25:08] Speaker 3: Well, it's hard when you when you're thinking attack all
[25:11] Speaker 3: the time, it's hard to execute. You can't exit you
[25:13] Speaker 3: to one hundred percent that transition. Yeah, how did how did
[25:17] Speaker 3: bell do you find belly? It helped you in terms
[25:20] Speaker 3: of being selective and when you have that mind.
[25:22] Speaker 1: Probably not down there.
[25:23] Speaker 4: I still was probably a bit immature in that way,
[25:25] Speaker 4: and I was probably yeah, still not really thinking about
[25:30] Speaker 4: what he was wanting me to do or the coaches
[25:32] Speaker 4: or whatever.
[25:32] Speaker 1: I was still just doing my own thinking in my
[25:34] Speaker 1: own world.
[25:36] Speaker 4: I think it was more when I got up to
[25:37] Speaker 4: towns or Yeah, Toddy Payton randed in a lot, and
[25:41] Speaker 4: then obviously you get older, you understand more about what's needed.
[25:44] Speaker 4: But yeah, when I was down there, it was yeah,
[25:47] Speaker 4: all or nothing.
[25:48] Speaker 3: Really it's kind of hard as well, because you're underneath
[25:50] Speaker 3: Billy Slave. Yeah, I was saying, slutsy is the exact.
[25:52] Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was the.
[25:53] Speaker 4: Man because like you do someone at training and didn't
[25:55] Speaker 4: pay off, it didn't come off. He'd come back and
[25:58] Speaker 4: they'd be like, he'd throw it again. If you get
[26:00] Speaker 4: that look, throwed again. But then on the other side
[26:02] Speaker 4: you got Will Chambers like spray and the going, oh
[26:04] Speaker 4: you think it Will, I think Taylor Brad this and.
[26:07] Speaker 1: That spray me.
[26:08] Speaker 4: And then I got Billy doing this, Chambers spraying me.
[26:10] Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know. And then BILLYX at the
[26:12] Speaker 4: bat like this.
[26:14] Speaker 3: So many different mindset stick and then but.
[26:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy was a man for that. He did I
[26:19] Speaker 1: just go and do it.
[26:20] Speaker 2: I used to.
[26:20] Speaker 3: That surprised me so much, like his mindset when he
[26:23] Speaker 3: could go. You know how when you're a young blot.
[26:25] Speaker 3: You make an error and kind of the next ten
[26:27] Speaker 3: to fifteen minutes it's like you don't want to make
[26:29] Speaker 3: an error, so your mindset completely shifts into just doing
[26:32] Speaker 3: safe options. We're a bloke who's like Billy, who has
[26:36] Speaker 3: all these highlights, but he had his errors as well.
[26:37] Speaker 3: He'd do an error and then thirty seconds later do
[26:40] Speaker 3: the exact same thing, but he'd execute it and then
[26:43] Speaker 3: everyone was like, he's amazing.
[26:45] Speaker 2: The first year when I went to Melbourne in two
[26:47] Speaker 2: thousand and six, the first half of that year, Billy
[26:50] Speaker 2: was horrendous, like you know, like that when he got
[26:53] Speaker 2: dropped back to the Bears, dropped back to the Bears.
[26:55] Speaker 2: I remember playing it in two thousand and four or three.
[27:01] Speaker 2: That was the Kiach. Yeah, that chip. But that year
[27:05] Speaker 2: whatever happened, mate, I remember they got off to a
[27:08] Speaker 2: bit of an inconsistent start. About halfway through the years
[27:11] Speaker 2: they caught fire, won the minor premiership and made the
[27:13] Speaker 2: Green from got beaten. But in the middle of that
[27:15] Speaker 2: year Billy was all over the shop and that was
[27:17] Speaker 2: Remember one day is the only time I've ever been
[27:19] Speaker 2: in a box with belly Ach. After that went fucking
[27:22] Speaker 2: never getting in there again, he was just blasting mate
[27:25] Speaker 2: and he kicked Billy kicked one of the players, Chris Hynington.
[27:28] Speaker 2: I think he grooted him and kicked him. Yeah, and
[27:30] Speaker 2: he got suspended and Billy aate just went and dropped
[27:34] Speaker 2: him for a couple of weeks back in North Sydney.
[27:36] Speaker 3: You know, it's like weird. I remember, I think such
[27:39] Speaker 3: he told us about that time because they got him
[27:42] Speaker 3: up to speak about boys who potentially get dropped back
[27:44] Speaker 3: and how you should go like an attitude wise about it.
[27:47] Speaker 3: Apparently when he went back to North Sydney he played
[27:49] Speaker 3: horrendous as well. I think I think he even played
[27:52] Speaker 3: worse than he had been in first grade, which is
[27:55] Speaker 3: so like you. A lot of people expect NRL players
[27:58] Speaker 3: to go back to reserve grade and kill it, but
[28:00] Speaker 3: sometimes it can actually be harder.
[28:02] Speaker 1: Because everyone expects you to do something.
[28:04] Speaker 3: But also the system around you isn't as strong.
[28:07] Speaker 2: But adrenaline is so important. Adrenaline and nerves are the
[28:11] Speaker 2: things that make you do amazing stuff. That's like. There
[28:14] Speaker 2: was a great book by Mike Tyson that he was
[28:16] Speaker 2: taught custom Artis said. He says about how does the
[28:19] Speaker 2: antelope survive with the lion it's adrenaline. You have to
[28:22] Speaker 2: be nervous, you have to fear to succeed, and that's it.
[28:25] Speaker 2: When you go down to a lower grade, sometimes you
[28:27] Speaker 2: don't think of that as much, and you're cruising and
[28:29] Speaker 2: you're going to I want to be back, and that
[28:32] Speaker 2: doesn't serve itself right. It doesn't matter where you are,
[28:34] Speaker 2: it doesn't mean what great. You've got to have nerves
[28:36] Speaker 2: and you've got to have fear.
[28:40] Speaker 3: I reckon the best reserve grade game. I still tell
[28:42] Speaker 3: people this. The best reserve grade game I've ever seen
[28:46] Speaker 3: of any player was Scott drink Water. You remember this
[28:49] Speaker 3: game I'm about to talking about. I think it was
[28:50] Speaker 3: twenty nineteen eighteen East Tigers versus North Devils. It might
[28:58] Speaker 3: have been Bishop Park. I believe they play the bash
[29:00] Speaker 3: up mate. I tried to find I was telling someone
[29:03] Speaker 3: on the piece the other day and I was trying
[29:04] Speaker 3: to find the highlights of I couldn't find it. If
[29:06] Speaker 3: anyone can dig it up with their listening to just
[29:08] Speaker 3: mating East Tigers versus Norse Devils, that I remember. The
[29:12] Speaker 3: next day you came in and you put you brought
[29:15] Speaker 3: up the highlights before we went into a team meeting.
[29:17] Speaker 3: And I think it was me. You and Harry were
[29:18] Speaker 3: watching like you tries and try sis. I think you
[29:21] Speaker 3: had a hat trick. Yeah, and you scored off a
[29:23] Speaker 3: kickoff the kickoff. You scored off a kickoff. It was
[29:26] Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen someone have highlights like that.
[29:29] Speaker 4: I remember, you know, you see that rate your game
[29:31] Speaker 4: and then the other player coach and rate it.
[29:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
[29:34] Speaker 2: So I go on in and I was.
[29:35] Speaker 1: Fuck thinking, look that's it.
[29:37] Speaker 4: If that's not a ten, I don't know what it
[29:39] Speaker 4: is because someone got a ten couple weeks before anyway,
[29:41] Speaker 4: So I think I put myself tonight as you do.
[29:44] Speaker 4: And Markey Burtnell gave me nine, and I don't know
[29:47] Speaker 4: what got into me. I was like, I don't talk
[29:49] Speaker 4: to him about this. I think that's a ten.
[29:52] Speaker 1: I don't know what got into me, but I was
[29:53] Speaker 1: so happy with that.
[29:54] Speaker 4: We walked in and other conversation I can't remember we
[29:56] Speaker 4: got ten couple weeks before or nine, And I was like,
[30:00] Speaker 4: and that was.
[30:00] Speaker 1: In an roll and I'm playing kick cup and I'm
[30:02] Speaker 1: comparing the pair.
[30:02] Speaker 4: But I was like like, yeah, going through all this stuff,
[30:05] Speaker 4: and then in the end of market Retnald just goes, yeah, yeah,
[30:08] Speaker 4: you're right, and then just put a ten in there,
[30:09] Speaker 4: and I walked.
[30:10] Speaker 3: Off because that system used to be you go in,
[30:13] Speaker 3: you give yourself a rating, and the coach will give
[30:15] Speaker 3: you their rating. It was like basically, I suppose it
[30:18] Speaker 3: was like accountability system, like to see where you raided yourself,
[30:21] Speaker 3: and Jesus, it used to be brutal. So I'm always
[30:23] Speaker 3: to go in there. Sometimes you go I think I
[30:24] Speaker 3: played an eight, and then they come in and give
[30:26] Speaker 3: him like a five or something, and it.
[30:28] Speaker 4: Was and that like it'd be there all year, all
[30:32] Speaker 4: the rounds, and one day they had one red like
[30:35] Speaker 4: and heat like six or seven greens and they're pretty harsh.
[30:38] Speaker 4: And then Macky Petnall goes, oh, drinking, what do you
[30:41] Speaker 4: think that was? He's like serious, looking at me, look
[30:43] Speaker 4: off me, and he's like, what do you think that
[30:45] Speaker 4: was a six? And I was like, oh, you know,
[30:47] Speaker 4: just one of those days. I was like, it was
[30:49] Speaker 4: just one of those days. And that was my answer
[30:51] Speaker 4: in there, like I wanted more from me, and I
[30:54] Speaker 4: just kept going no, Honestly, I think it was just
[30:56] Speaker 4: one of those days, you know, one of those days.
[30:59] Speaker 1: I don't know what more what probably I don't know
[31:01] Speaker 1: what happened.
[31:02] Speaker 2: I've had a really I find that a strange system. Uh,
[31:05] Speaker 2: not so much that one. I remember a few of
[31:07] Speaker 2: the old boys. We went to Newcastle one day for
[31:09] Speaker 2: a training that they played someone the day before. We
[31:12] Speaker 2: went and they invited us, you know, to watch your
[31:13] Speaker 2: training session. And one of the players were there and
[31:15] Speaker 2: they started by writing down a bit of paper as
[31:18] Speaker 2: far as physical exertion. How tough that game was? Out
[31:20] Speaker 2: of ten right anyway, one of the players wrote five, right,
[31:27] Speaker 2: and the coach went up to him and said, oh,
[31:29] Speaker 2: you wrote five, and he goes, yeah, you know, and
[31:31] Speaker 2: he goes, but it's strange because I saw you're walking
[31:34] Speaker 2: a few times and he goes, oh yeah, I reckon
[31:38] Speaker 2: it was more like an eight. He went sweet eight.
[31:41] Speaker 2: I was sitting here, how fucking.
[31:43] Speaker 3: Ridiculous, and he's a weird system.
[31:46] Speaker 4: Going back to that game, my lunch to the game
[31:49] Speaker 4: was two sausage rollers from the servo in the maxicicab,
[31:51] Speaker 4: and the way of the game got there did that
[31:53] Speaker 4: the next week.
[31:54] Speaker 1: I was like, I'm doing that again.
[31:55] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[31:55] Speaker 4: It felt like shit, blady like shit, And I was like, well,
[31:58] Speaker 4: that wasn't the reason why I played. I stuck with
[32:00] Speaker 4: it for another week and then.
[32:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, Best came over played in reserve grade. I was
[32:04] Speaker 2: on the drink night for the game. We went we're
[32:06] Speaker 2: in cesnot playing Brisbane. The next day we had to
[32:08] Speaker 2: get flight up to Brisbane, me and my mates. We
[32:10] Speaker 2: used to go on drink in Sesnox so the club
[32:12] Speaker 2: wouldn't find us. We're on the source till three o'clock.
[32:15] Speaker 2: When back a couple of hours sleep. Had to go
[32:16] Speaker 2: to newcas JP playing book and we won, but the
[32:20] Speaker 2: Broncos and Reserve grade, and I got Meno the Master,
[32:23] Speaker 2: and I said, I'm to fucking do that. Next week
[32:24] Speaker 2: again did it again? Worst game with him.
[32:28] Speaker 3: I did the exact same thing I remember. Best came.
[32:30] Speaker 3: I over played in Reserve grade. Sunny Coast First Townsville
[32:33] Speaker 3: Blackhawks two thousand and nineteen. Two days before I was
[32:35] Speaker 3: on the pisce with Joey in Melbourne Crown Casino and
[32:38] Speaker 3: JT because they'd been commentating the Storm game and I
[32:41] Speaker 3: had to wait because I was eighteenth nineteenth man and
[32:44] Speaker 3: then fly up the next day and I had a
[32:46] Speaker 3: massive night, slept on Joey's hotel room floor and then
[32:50] Speaker 3: had to go straight to the airport to fly up
[32:51] Speaker 3: to towns or to play on the Saturday. Played killed.
[32:54] Speaker 3: It played outstanding. Even the coach came back. They said, mate,
[32:57] Speaker 3: whatever you did in your preparation, keep it saying, you know, sweet,
[33:00] Speaker 3: I found my blueprint. I'll get on a piece two
[33:01] Speaker 3: days before I did it. The next week they took
[33:05] Speaker 3: me off a half time. It was horrible. It's not sustainable,
[33:09] Speaker 3: but short term, I reckon it makes you play good
[33:11] Speaker 3: because you feel guilty and you try harder.
[33:14] Speaker 2: But my former debut one of my first ever games
[33:16] Speaker 2: against Manley, I actually was onto my third beer on
[33:20] Speaker 2: the hill and got the call, Yeah, first play it
[33:23] Speaker 2: against many. I've played the last twenty five minutes and
[33:26] Speaker 2: literally and me and the boys we played twenty ones
[33:29] Speaker 2: and we just went over put our city's on. So
[33:31] Speaker 2: we went over on the hill onto my third beer.
[33:33] Speaker 2: Got to call Matthew Johns, who caught a report to
[33:36] Speaker 2: the dressing room. Oh they've caught me drinking because he's
[33:38] Speaker 2: not supposed to. Weren't supposed to drink until the first
[33:41] Speaker 2: grade games finished. When the first grade captain cracks a fish,
[33:44] Speaker 2: everyone can right something, go fucking man busted went over
[33:47] Speaker 2: there and they said, Magi gear on, Neil up and
[33:49] Speaker 2: I've gone, oh, no fucking hell.
[33:52] Speaker 3: But you only got to play one first go game
[33:56] Speaker 3: at Melbourne.
[33:56] Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the I thinks the best first only
[33:58] Speaker 4: game for a Storm ever played. That's right, remember because
[34:00] Speaker 4: it was a game who was it that against Penrith Penrith?
[34:04] Speaker 3: And then I remember you scored you should have scored
[34:06] Speaker 3: two tries and they took one off here and then
[34:08] Speaker 3: you scored one off? Was it Kenny Brumwich little offload
[34:10] Speaker 3: around the corner? What was that? What was that experience that?
[34:13] Speaker 2: Well?
[34:14] Speaker 4: That was a mad game, mad to play. When my
[34:16] Speaker 4: first try was this, lad, I was filthy?
[34:18] Speaker 3: Was that off a kick?
[34:20] Speaker 2: Na?
[34:20] Speaker 4: I just got actually just gooseyed around James Maloney's right. Yeah, yeah,
[34:25] Speaker 4: they took it off me. And obviously when you have
[34:26] Speaker 4: a debut, everyone's got money in any time try to score.
[34:29] Speaker 4: So I was more like thinking I've just cost all
[34:31] Speaker 4: these boys money. I was more like, you're kidding me.
[34:34] Speaker 4: And then around that next play and then it was
[34:37] Speaker 4: going to be like Riley Jack's pushing through. I was like,
[34:40] Speaker 4: next layer, but I was like, no, screw if he's
[34:42] Speaker 4: running adriftline here if he puts his nose getting the
[34:45] Speaker 4: try of Jackson and just comes in and passed him
[34:47] Speaker 4: and got it, and then I could even celebrate. But
[34:49] Speaker 4: because we had it was like four minutes left and
[34:52] Speaker 4: we were like it was for the minor premiership and
[34:54] Speaker 4: that put us within four and I was.
[34:56] Speaker 1: Just about to carry on and care Smith rons up
[34:58] Speaker 1: at me and just goes.
[35:00] Speaker 3: Then then we've got his.
[35:00] Speaker 1: Dog back and how one got around me? I was like, sweep.
[35:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, drinking, you're one of the best off sceon. Often
[35:08] Speaker 2: when people come around in sweep shapes. You see fullbacks
[35:10] Speaker 2: or even playmakers rip around on sweep shaped Oftentimes they're
[35:14] Speaker 2: either in a pass mode or in a run mode.
[35:17] Speaker 2: You're very good coming around almost like identifying your target
[35:20] Speaker 2: defender going at him. You're a massive run threat. You
[35:23] Speaker 2: can do the double cut out as well. Like what
[35:25] Speaker 2: do you think about when you're ripping around on those lines?
[35:27] Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously depending on what team your verse and how
[35:30] Speaker 4: their system is, but you just yeah, honestly, I'm just
[35:33] Speaker 4: looking at more so than with the winger, see how
[35:36] Speaker 4: tight and tidy is and always trying to get my
[35:39] Speaker 4: winger to.
[35:39] Speaker 1: Like lead in the space at speed.
[35:41] Speaker 2: Yep.
[35:42] Speaker 4: Billy was always talking about Brett Morris and how good
[35:44] Speaker 4: he was, like he caught the ball at full throttle.
[35:46] Speaker 3: You don't want to break your stripe.
[35:47] Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's always I'm kind of thinking about the
[35:50] Speaker 4: opportunity in my winger has outside their winger, and then
[35:53] Speaker 4: obviously if they start to get a bit spaced out nervous,
[35:55] Speaker 4: then you run.
[35:56] Speaker 2: But do you have a preempt Like if you sit
[35:58] Speaker 2: there and you watch tape leading into the game and
[35:59] Speaker 2: you notice that you know that they've got a system
[36:02] Speaker 2: where you know, like if the center makes a bad decision,
[36:05] Speaker 2: then the winger jumps into the fire as well and
[36:07] Speaker 2: follows him in. Do you watch tape and gay right,
[36:09] Speaker 2: I'm going to that's the first play I think.
[36:12] Speaker 4: You know when I used to throw that long border
[36:13] Speaker 4: felty that a lot of that was pretty empty. And
[36:16] Speaker 4: knowing that if I can burn the back row and
[36:18] Speaker 4: get the half, everyone's going to defend their inside shoulders. Yeah,
[36:21] Speaker 4: So it's kind of just like a touch footy play
[36:23] Speaker 4: almost like four or three. So it's kind of just, yeah,
[36:27] Speaker 4: I know if they're all going to defenside shoulders, but
[36:30] Speaker 4: then on the other side, it was more I was
[36:31] Speaker 4: passing the veil because he just runs such a hard line,
[36:34] Speaker 4: Yeah and hard. The tackle was more like, yeah that way,
[36:37] Speaker 4: I'm just I'm hitting the valil because he's runn through
[36:39] Speaker 4: two of the score.
[36:40] Speaker 2: Okay, let's imagine for a second. You've got to you've
[36:43] Speaker 2: got a really good defensive winger, who's got who defends
[36:47] Speaker 2: two principles. Senate goes in, he's going to gym as well.
[36:50] Speaker 2: But then you've got another bloke who's a bit of
[36:52] Speaker 2: a wild card, and he makes a lot of bad decisions,
[36:55] Speaker 2: but he's just sort of instinct that.
[36:58] Speaker 4: Yeah, Terry Evans is probably the most upsetting defender I've
[37:02] Speaker 4: ever had to play against. Like you just don't know
[37:04] Speaker 4: what he's doing when no one follows in, but it
[37:06] Speaker 4: throws you off, It throws everyone else's timing off.
[37:08] Speaker 1: And he yeah, he's probably rund it in a little bit.
[37:10] Speaker 1: I reckon. Yeah, he used to used to be everywhere.
[37:13] Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one days off he do intercept, he'd go
[37:16] Speaker 3: for it like halves never go for intercepts, like they
[37:18] Speaker 3: never and you never, you never trained. But he'll like
[37:21] Speaker 3: red passes off front rowers and go and do intercepts
[37:24] Speaker 3: or he'll jam you when a half like shouldn't jam yeah.
[37:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, And like Recee Walsh, you know he bullshited in
[37:30] Speaker 2: the Grand File with Ellie Bang and then.
[37:31] Speaker 3: Jumped Selwyn Cobbo. Remember there was a year Selling Cobbo
[37:34] Speaker 3: was the same where every there was a stat every
[37:37] Speaker 3: single time it was a two on one down his side,
[37:41] Speaker 3: like he went for an intercept one hundred percent of
[37:43] Speaker 3: the time. And I remember Marky Brenton Will pulled it
[37:45] Speaker 3: up and he said, boys, whatever you do if you
[37:47] Speaker 3: get on a tour one with Sell and Cobbo, don't
[37:49] Speaker 3: pass it. Because he showed every single clip he says
[37:53] Speaker 3: he has done it nine en times and nine en
[37:55] Speaker 3: for nine een he's just gone for an intercept. Imagine
[37:58] Speaker 3: as a coach, you'd be off it. But I think
[37:59] Speaker 3: three of the nine and he actually got the It
[38:02] Speaker 3: was a.
[38:02] Speaker 1: Two on one in the NRL, like they should score.
[38:05] Speaker 1: They're just drawing past. So I'm more for gun. You
[38:07] Speaker 1: may as well as well, like no point, just turn
[38:09] Speaker 1: it in and let him pass it. Do something fake him.
[38:11] Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like you know, having a hard and
[38:14] Speaker 2: fast rule where you go mate, Okay, this guy always
[38:16] Speaker 2: goes outside in and you mate, it confuses me. You're
[38:20] Speaker 2: far better someone to say to a to a winger.
[38:23] Speaker 2: Hey listen, this is out. You know, this is what
[38:24] Speaker 2: we like to do. However, if you said something, mate,
[38:28] Speaker 2: you just want to.
[38:29] Speaker 3: Go Yeah, I gotta go down for we're just talking
[38:31] Speaker 3: about your debut year twenty eighteen. At the end of
[38:34] Speaker 3: that year, the Boys mate the Grand Final against the
[38:37] Speaker 3: Roosters and they ended up losing that game. That's not
[38:41] Speaker 3: part of this story. But do you remember because we
[38:43] Speaker 3: were up we were up in Sydney that we came
[38:45] Speaker 3: up early as the Renegades like, and the role of
[38:47] Speaker 3: us as the Renegades were drinking was Teddy. You were
[38:50] Speaker 3: to mimic James tedesco Riley Jackson was Cooper Crounk. I
[38:53] Speaker 3: was Luke Keary. So like on the opposite side, we
[38:55] Speaker 3: train them as best we possibly can for how they're
[38:57] Speaker 3: going to play. It didn't workause they've got beat. But
[39:00] Speaker 3: I remember during the week they gave us an allowance
[39:03] Speaker 3: and I remember the first night me and you remember
[39:05] Speaker 3: me and you went to a like into a park
[39:08] Speaker 3: we remder the casino, and I put it all on
[39:10] Speaker 3: this horse and it won. I was playing like nine
[39:12] Speaker 3: bucks and I put it all the whole allowance on
[39:15] Speaker 3: the horse. I think the allowance was like a few
[39:17] Speaker 3: underd bucks. I think I was about three, yeah, five
[39:19] Speaker 3: hundred bucks there and cleaned up. We won. Anyway, flash
[39:23] Speaker 3: thorward to the because it's places to be on a
[39:25] Speaker 3: drinking band. We can say this now because we're seven
[39:27] Speaker 3: years past our statue now, but we are.
[39:33] Speaker 2: We got it.
[39:34] Speaker 3: I ended up getting in trouble because the day before
[39:37] Speaker 3: the day of the game, me and Driggy were in
[39:39] Speaker 3: my hotel room raiding my mini bar.
[39:43] Speaker 2: Winner.
[39:43] Speaker 3: And I remember because I remember when we got on
[39:46] Speaker 3: the bus the next day. Frankie goes, oh, mate, like
[39:48] Speaker 3: the cleaners went through your room like that night and
[39:50] Speaker 3: they found like they found that you drank all your
[39:52] Speaker 3: mini bud, like we know that you drank before the game.
[39:54] Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, I did, I did. I
[39:56] Speaker 3: was just I got a problem anyway. And I remember
[39:59] Speaker 3: the when the boys are running through the tunnel because
[40:02] Speaker 3: me and you were kind of pissed at this stage.
[40:04] Speaker 3: We were screaming at him. We were come on, boys,
[40:06] Speaker 3: give it to these roosters coming out. I remember the
[40:09] Speaker 3: boys up the game mate. We were so naked, just going,
[40:14] Speaker 3: come on.
[40:15] Speaker 1: Let's go.
[40:16] Speaker 3: And then at halftime they were that Dame was like
[40:18] Speaker 3: it was quite dominant, like I think it was when
[40:20] Speaker 3: coober Crunk did his shoulder. I think we were down
[40:22] Speaker 3: like sixteen and a half, but it was like pretty
[40:24] Speaker 3: dominant like and we were sitting there like blinding the crowd.
[40:28] Speaker 3: No one's down, and we're shit, this is melancholy. And
[40:31] Speaker 3: then we went in the sheds after the game. It
[40:33] Speaker 3: was me, you and Harry. We were like, were the
[40:36] Speaker 3: young guys. It was Slatsy's laugh to a game. Billy
[40:38] Speaker 3: saida's last game. So it was like, yes, it was sad,
[40:41] Speaker 3: but what a career he's had. So we got on
[40:43] Speaker 3: the speaker and we sat on the speaker and remember
[40:46] Speaker 3: we were blair and music. But all the boys actually
[40:49] Speaker 3: liked it. I took their head off the game. The
[40:51] Speaker 3: coaches and that didn't like it at the time. We
[40:53] Speaker 3: didn't know this at the time, but they didn't. Frank
[40:55] Speaker 3: was no fan of it. Frankness anyway, we're going and
[40:58] Speaker 3: I remember were sitting there taking request from Smithing, all
[41:00] Speaker 3: the all the older boys, what do you want? What
[41:02] Speaker 3: do you want to play?
[41:02] Speaker 2: It?
[41:02] Speaker 3: Everyone was having to just started to switch the vibe
[41:05] Speaker 3: in their boys going, you know what, we lost, but
[41:06] Speaker 3: Slatty's last game. And then Frankie going, right, boy, he's
[41:09] Speaker 3: going to go back to the hotel. The family's waiting
[41:11] Speaker 3: for us there. Let's go and enjoy a drink with
[41:12] Speaker 3: their families. And then I remember who and Harry required
[41:16] Speaker 3: piercely stage, We're going, Frankie, one more song, Billy, Billy
[41:18] Speaker 3: wants one more song. It's his last game, and Billy
[41:21] Speaker 3: just kept requesting the same song. I still remember Castaway,
[41:23] Speaker 3: Zach Brown, Ben, Frank I want Castaway. So then we
[41:28] Speaker 3: would have been there another two hours listening to Castaway
[41:30] Speaker 3: and repeat. We finally get back and I think Frank
[41:33] Speaker 3: pulled me, you and someone else as we got off
[41:36] Speaker 3: the bus. He pulled us to the side.
[41:38] Speaker 1: Remember Curtis, it.
[41:40] Speaker 3: Was someone It was another young lad and now because
[41:42] Speaker 3: I think Crafty was playing someone else who wasn't playing,
[41:44] Speaker 3: and he pulled his side and he said, hey, boys, like,
[41:46] Speaker 3: I know he's having a good time and that, but
[41:48] Speaker 3: just rein it in because I want us to know.
[41:50] Speaker 3: These boys in there, they're hurt and they just lost
[41:52] Speaker 3: a Grand final and were sitting there going oh, we
[41:55] Speaker 3: started to wigging out, and then we went back to
[41:58] Speaker 3: the boys and said like and the which one with
[42:00] Speaker 3: you guys, and thank you? Told us we get like
[42:02] Speaker 3: pull our heads in a little bit because like, yeah,
[42:05] Speaker 3: he's we've been joined ourselves after a loss. And they
[42:07] Speaker 3: go funk that don't worry about it, like you have
[42:09] Speaker 3: turned down mood around.
[42:11] Speaker 1: And then I was remember I did the slug and
[42:13] Speaker 1: had the massive sky hang.
[42:15] Speaker 3: Can you just like just repeat that in a way
[42:20] Speaker 3: that elaborate on what you mean when.
[42:23] Speaker 4: The slugs like the worm, but like you do you
[42:26] Speaker 4: start on your knees and then put your face forward.
[42:28] Speaker 2: Yeah, that.
[42:33] Speaker 1: I had like this massive scab like this.
[42:38] Speaker 4: We had our presentation and I've got this and I've
[42:40] Speaker 4: just got this massive scab there. It got infected. It
[42:44] Speaker 4: was getting all over my pillows oozing. But the slug,
[42:48] Speaker 4: the slug went off of the default.
[42:50] Speaker 3: People were actually loving it when you got around you
[42:51] Speaker 3: because remember the next morning most of us basically went
[42:55] Speaker 3: through straight to the bus, right, maybe a couple of
[42:57] Speaker 3: hours of sleep or whatever, but the bus is picking
[42:59] Speaker 3: up was like seven eight am. Like anyway, we're sitting
[43:02] Speaker 3: in there, everyone's on the bus wounded, Sonny's are on
[43:04] Speaker 3: and I remember me and drinking is sitting next to
[43:07] Speaker 3: each other and we're still like pretty blind and we're
[43:10] Speaker 3: just like we're about to fly back to Melbourne to
[43:12] Speaker 3: basically launch straight in the mad Monday. Everyone had their
[43:14] Speaker 3: costumes ready like it was going to be a big day.
[43:16] Speaker 3: And Tom Eisenhoof, he was sitting right behind us, and
[43:19] Speaker 3: he was he was asleep, but he had he had
[43:23] Speaker 3: his mouth completely open. He was asleep with like this
[43:26] Speaker 3: mouth over like a clown at the surface that goes
[43:28] Speaker 3: down pop ping pong balls and drink. He goes looks
[43:31] Speaker 3: back at him and he goes film this. The video
[43:34] Speaker 3: films back and he's got a beer and drink. He
[43:36] Speaker 3: just pours a whole the whole schooner into his mouth.
[43:42] Speaker 3: Remember is is like most people would have woken up
[43:44] Speaker 3: and spat it out. Isa upon waking up just goes
[43:47] Speaker 3: oh and gold and just swallowed the whole beer and
[43:51] Speaker 3: then just goes oh. And he just could not get
[43:53] Speaker 3: back to sleep, like he hit him straight.
[43:56] Speaker 2: You got that, You've got the video, I've got the video.
[43:58] Speaker 2: We're going to play. We're going to play.
[44:03] Speaker 1: Another grand final story.
[44:05] Speaker 4: It was twenty twenty seventeen when they won it and
[44:09] Speaker 4: Curtis said, Curtis played, so he won, and we're drinking that,
[44:13] Speaker 4: and then there was I can remember it was what
[44:14] Speaker 4: have been like one of the brom which has had
[44:16] Speaker 4: vodka is making up, making us do shots, and that anyway,
[44:19] Speaker 4: I'll go to the toilet.
[44:20] Speaker 1: Curtis is in there.
[44:21] Speaker 4: Anyway, Curtis walks out, goes back in the room and
[44:24] Speaker 4: Cooper Krunk walks in the toilet and I'm fox spawing
[44:26] Speaker 4: in the toilet and he goes, fuck me drinking, You've
[44:29] Speaker 4: just spewed up all over the fucking the carpet.
[44:33] Speaker 1: I was that drunk. I went out there and picked
[44:36] Speaker 1: it up.
[44:40] Speaker 4: It was like I was running from coop spray.
[44:50] Speaker 1: I thought it was fine.
[44:55] Speaker 2: The next morning it was, what are you so cruel?
[45:05] Speaker 3: What it's going to make your vom just.
[45:07] Speaker 2: Thinking about it?
[45:08] Speaker 3: What imagine it's not jack? You don't spill on your jack.
[45:18] Speaker 4: I was so rattled, rattleb Curtis w was here is
[45:23] Speaker 4: And then I was like Gordy.
[45:26] Speaker 2: Told the story that when they went away.
[45:27] Speaker 3: On you don't stringing your water just for the listeners.
[45:31] Speaker 3: Didn't know that just nearly vomited.
[45:33] Speaker 1: All laughed, probably admitted there.
[45:37] Speaker 2: One of the biggest pews I've ever had. What's the
[45:39] Speaker 2: biggest I've ever had? When they went and had tie,
[45:42] Speaker 2: had a time meal. I had a boy.
[45:58] Speaker 3: Jake, he's got the laughing bug. Did just that water
[46:04] Speaker 3: just ran the wrong way, just goes.
[46:08] Speaker 2: T I'm going to tell this story. I'm going to
[46:11] Speaker 2: brace myself because I could every time.
[46:16] Speaker 3: Maybe I don't.
[46:17] Speaker 1: That's that's water. By the way, when I think of
[46:19] Speaker 1: this story, I don't even don't tell you. I want
[46:23] Speaker 1: to hear it.
[46:25] Speaker 2: So I went to I went to got some some
[46:28] Speaker 2: tie up in North Sydney, and I've got it. You
[46:33] Speaker 2: know they get the tie in the box you the
[46:35] Speaker 2: boss take away and I've gone. It was the chicken
[46:39] Speaker 2: pad tie. I've gone. Next minute, I've gone something really chilly.
[46:45] Speaker 2: I looked at it was a bend ate.
[47:00] Speaker 4: Well if you heard that, you know that Dan Gorrige
[47:04] Speaker 4: dfl Dane does his story about the protein shaker.
[47:08] Speaker 3: No, oh, is this going to make him?
[47:11] Speaker 4: They walk up the field and have a protein shake
[47:13] Speaker 4: out of like a slushy machine or or whatever. And
[47:16] Speaker 4: the boy started as it tasted pretty funky, honestly.
[47:27] Speaker 1: It takes you like four minutes to tell the story.
[47:30] Speaker 3: Keeps going drinking maggot that is how does maggots getting here?
[47:39] Speaker 2: Oh? That is?
[47:41] Speaker 3: That is all that Now, Just for the listeners, you've
[47:46] Speaker 3: been on a roller coaster the last ten minutes of
[47:49] Speaker 3: laughter and vomit. That is probably the greatest ten minutes
[47:53] Speaker 3: of listening that we might ever have in our life.
[47:55] Speaker 3: That's amazing. Just want to acknowledge that blowman, those.
[47:59] Speaker 2: That is all time spit and border take this back.
[48:03] Speaker 3: That's gotch and soda jacket. He great, I'm sure you're
[48:10] Speaker 3: like that. He's got covered in spewel over it. Going
[48:12] Speaker 3: to the going to the Cowboys because the next year,
[48:14] Speaker 3: to let people know we had huse you on previously,
[48:17] Speaker 3: and he told the story about how he went from
[48:19] Speaker 3: basically third string to first string due to injury. Because
[48:22] Speaker 3: you were that year two thousand and nine and after
[48:24] Speaker 3: Billy s later retired, you were the first string. Like
[48:27] Speaker 3: you did every rep, you were going to be there
[48:29] Speaker 3: round one, you were training outstanding. You come back as
[48:31] Speaker 3: fit as you ever had, and hughsly come back basically
[48:33] Speaker 3: a slob. After being he went as eighteenth man to
[48:36] Speaker 3: the kiwis camp and come back one of the biggest
[48:38] Speaker 3: slobs I've ever seen. He ran like the worst. Yoo Ever,
[48:42] Speaker 3: then you you do your peck in a trial and
[48:44] Speaker 3: you lose, you have for eight weeks and you basically
[48:47] Speaker 3: go from first straight to third string behind perhaps and Hus.
[48:50] Speaker 3: Imagine that would have been pretty.
[48:51] Speaker 1: Tough for you.
[48:51] Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like probably the worst period I've had
[48:54] Speaker 4: in maybe my rugby league, other than losing a lot
[48:58] Speaker 4: of games in own Personally, that was off.
[49:00] Speaker 1: And yeah, I remember when I did it.
[49:02] Speaker 4: I come off and I was I was so like,
[49:04] Speaker 4: I've never done it, like a major injury, so I wasn't.
[49:06] Speaker 4: I was sicking that I've done nothing. And then Jones
[49:08] Speaker 4: is like pretty much telling me lad, He's pretty much
[49:12] Speaker 4: telling me that I've done it, and I'm still like,
[49:14] Speaker 4: I haven't done it.
[49:14] Speaker 1: I haven't done it. Go out the room.
[49:17] Speaker 4: No pain killers either, they did they they took no
[49:19] Speaker 4: pain killers. So like I'm looking, they have a torn
[49:20] Speaker 4: peck in agony. All the boys have gone out mackay
[49:23] Speaker 4: and I'm depressed. But that was a tough period.
[49:26] Speaker 2: That was.
[49:27] Speaker 4: I couldn't watch a round one the boys played bron
[49:28] Speaker 4: because I think I couldn't watch it because I just
[49:30] Speaker 4: had one game, had like a taste of it.
[49:32] Speaker 2: I just like loved it.
[49:33] Speaker 1: I just wanted it so bad.
[49:34] Speaker 4: And then yeah, seeing perhaps hughs you kill it and
[49:38] Speaker 4: then perhaps come off the bench, and he was killing it.
[49:41] Speaker 1: He was taking hit ups and scoring one.
[49:44] Speaker 3: He come off the as a lock and was scoring
[49:47] Speaker 3: one hundreds.
[49:48] Speaker 4: So half a few weeks sitting there, you kind of
[49:51] Speaker 4: kind of realization that probably my held and Storm days
[49:55] Speaker 4: are over. So that was a little bit tough because
[49:57] Speaker 4: I love being down there in that but you know,
[50:00] Speaker 4: either long obviously they went on to win a premiership.
[50:05] Speaker 3: I think I think it was I think it was
[50:06] Speaker 3: good for you too. I think the change was good
[50:08] Speaker 3: for you too, because like looking back, not that not
[50:11] Speaker 3: that you wouldn't have like Melbourn wouldn't have brought the
[50:14] Speaker 3: best out of you as well, but I think that
[50:17] Speaker 3: that Cowboys style of footy has really suited you as well.
[50:20] Speaker 4: Yeah, we'd played pretty expensive and trying to move the ball,
[50:23] Speaker 4: and yeah, so that's it's been good up there.
[50:26] Speaker 3: When we've that year because you went midyear to the
[50:28] Speaker 3: Cowboys after obviously when you come back from your pack
[50:31] Speaker 3: and it was obviously the conversation with you and Frank
[50:34] Speaker 3: Ponisi and bet they were good enough to let you
[50:35] Speaker 3: go given the circumstances. That's probably pretty rare that a
[50:39] Speaker 3: bloke goes from first string to third and they have
[50:41] Speaker 3: two quality fullbacks. Were any other clubs knocking on the
[50:44] Speaker 3: door apart from Cowboys that year.
[50:47] Speaker 1: Nah, not really.
[50:48] Speaker 4: I think it was more just yeah, just them, maybe
[50:52] Speaker 4: one other. I'm not going to mention them, but I'm
[50:55] Speaker 4: not going to mention it. Just do the others gonna.
[51:02] Speaker 3: Can you give us the state in the state?
[51:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, the state like New South Wales? Yea, yeah, because
[51:07] Speaker 1: I could have I could have moved close.
[51:08] Speaker 3: To the home, so it was a New So Wales team.
[51:10] Speaker 3: How close to home?
[51:11] Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, give me a carrot, a horse?
[51:18] Speaker 3: Oh no, rabbit, rabbit?
[51:20] Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm.
[51:25] Speaker 4: But I guess probably probably moving up there probably also
[51:29] Speaker 4: good for me too, not being close to home still
[51:31] Speaker 4: as a young kid, and.
[51:33] Speaker 1: I have ever since been up there with Dragon.
[51:36] Speaker 3: Stop stop guessing, yeah, stop interrupting his story.
[51:41] Speaker 4: Come on, sorry, Scott, But yeah, when I remember flying
[51:45] Speaker 4: in the towns, I've only been there to play and
[51:47] Speaker 4: it was bone dry.
[51:49] Speaker 1: I was singing, I was on the window. I was like,
[51:52] Speaker 1: what the fuck I ever got myself into? Up? Like,
[51:54] Speaker 1: what am I doing? I've just left the Melbourne city
[51:57] Speaker 1: so much.
[51:58] Speaker 4: Happening, twenty one year old kid, and I was like,
[52:00] Speaker 4: what am I doing for you? But probably half an
[52:03] Speaker 4: hour I've gone down on the street and seeing all that,
[52:05] Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, this is But then I
[52:07] Speaker 4: enjoyed Melbourne great.
[52:08] Speaker 3: Yeah, like Melbourne's like Melbourne's a lot of fun that
[52:12] Speaker 3: the weather's not awesome, but the city is great, and
[52:14] Speaker 3: the squad and the camaraderie down there it's second. And
[52:18] Speaker 3: we had such a good crew down there, young crew.
[52:21] Speaker 3: We had a great young obviously Harry and I were there.
[52:23] Speaker 3: You were living with Brandon Smith, Brodycroft and Curtis Scott.
[52:27] Speaker 2: In one house which which one is young one out
[52:31] Speaker 2: there crafty.
[52:33] Speaker 1: He moved out so he still paid rent with us.
[52:37] Speaker 1: He moved out with his missus. Mate.
[52:38] Speaker 4: We were too much for him, so he moved out,
[52:40] Speaker 4: paid rent there, lived with his missus. W there was
[52:43] Speaker 4: his wife paid rent there like he just couldn't handle
[52:46] Speaker 4: us anymore.
[52:47] Speaker 2: Happened.
[52:47] Speaker 1: He Nico moved in with us.
[52:49] Speaker 3: And I don't make you probably would have been too much.
[52:51] Speaker 2: For happened when Crafty Coming stayed at our house and
[52:56] Speaker 2: he was he was there for Frank, see him down
[52:58] Speaker 2: for a few days, see him up for a few days.
[53:00] Speaker 2: And we're sitting over couch, Trish and I and I'll
[53:03] Speaker 2: just ignore that one, and and we sit there watching anyway.
[53:07] Speaker 2: I put Once Warriors on and make watch this movie.
[53:10] Speaker 2: It's pretty heavy though, And then me and Tris started
[53:12] Speaker 2: having a bit of an argain about some The next minute,
[53:14] Speaker 2: Crofty goes Tris, where's he going? So I don't know,
[53:18] Speaker 2: he's probably just up to getting changed. Crafty you're there.
[53:22] Speaker 2: He went up and put himself to bed. He just removed.
[53:27] Speaker 2: It must have been bad.
[53:31] Speaker 1: He's a good I was actually his best man. Was
[53:34] Speaker 1: his best man.
[53:35] Speaker 2: How's he going?
[53:36] Speaker 1: He's gone good? Leads leads, Yeah, yeah, there's gone good
[53:40] Speaker 1: over he's on a big deal. So outf and then
[53:41] Speaker 1: got the transfer.
[53:43] Speaker 3: But I had a lot of had a lot of
[53:45] Speaker 3: unfair criticism coming up to he had to fill on
[53:48] Speaker 3: big shoes. But Jeezy was a good Blan crafty legend.
[53:52] Speaker 4: Such a such a stiff, but he was the type
[53:55] Speaker 4: of guy you'd go to the I know I'm going
[53:57] Speaker 4: to the movies with him.
[53:58] Speaker 1: I like treats, but I would buy one less packet
[54:01] Speaker 1: than what I needed.
[54:02] Speaker 4: Yeah, so I would buy like one less because I
[54:08] Speaker 4: know he would have.
[54:09] Speaker 1: He'd sit there, he'd have like.
[54:10] Speaker 4: Eight eight little male teasers and then going do you
[54:13] Speaker 4: want to Yeah, that was his goal, and he'd have
[54:16] Speaker 4: like you know, when you open a block two squares,
[54:19] Speaker 4: I've had the taste.
[54:20] Speaker 1: I'd just look at him like, oh, here's the best.
[54:23] Speaker 4: He was, Honestly, one of the best I've seen is
[54:25] Speaker 4: like an eight year old kid to be that professional.
[54:27] Speaker 3: Remember when you walk you walk into his bedroom and
[54:29] Speaker 3: he just had like just messaging everywhere, Remember just like
[54:33] Speaker 3: believe or like just different like messaging of his routine.
[54:37] Speaker 3: And then remember Brandon one time when he snuck into
[54:39] Speaker 3: his room, Brandon Smith and he built a fake Cooper Crunk.
[54:42] Speaker 4: Shriy, Yeah, candles are on it and said, don't be
[54:46] Speaker 4: Cooper two point zero b brodiere Crofty one the one something.
[54:52] Speaker 2: I was being interesting reality show. He had two rooms.
[54:55] Speaker 2: In one room, you put Cooper Krunk and Brodie Crofts
[54:58] Speaker 2: in the other room camera monster and could a Scott
[55:01] Speaker 2: right out? What would happen for.
[55:02] Speaker 3: A week yeah, because it was it and I remember
[55:06] Speaker 3: we had it because your house, that house you had
[55:08] Speaker 3: that it ended up being sort of the source for
[55:10] Speaker 3: a lot of our parties and whatnot. I mean Crofty's
[55:12] Speaker 3: twenty first we had at that house, which a few holes. Yeah, typical,
[55:17] Speaker 3: similar to like how Jack destroys a lot of stuff
[55:19] Speaker 3: in this house that that party put a lot of holes.
[55:23] Speaker 3: There was a lot of I'll just we'll just ignore that.
[55:27] Speaker 3: There was a lot of fighting going.
[55:29] Speaker 4: Out to two big outphaits, two enforces to enforces and
[55:34] Speaker 4: like yeah, board onto the street. Nothing was thrown, no punches,
[55:38] Speaker 4: but it was a big commotion and there was like
[55:41] Speaker 4: twenty of us just.
[55:43] Speaker 1: Going on, what is going on?
[55:44] Speaker 3: I remember it was going off because remember it started
[55:46] Speaker 3: at the back of that patio. I remember We're all
[55:48] Speaker 3: sitting down and I was sitting next to Felice and
[55:51] Speaker 3: he was playing one of the songs that he used
[55:53] Speaker 3: to just relentlessly play over and he used to fall
[55:56] Speaker 3: in love with one song for a whole year, I remember,
[55:58] Speaker 3: And didn't he just repeat it and we wouldn't hear
[56:01] Speaker 3: anything else, And we were just sitting there and everyone
[56:03] Speaker 3: was sitting there watching it. No one was really doing anything,
[56:06] Speaker 3: just letting the two alphas go at it. The only
[56:08] Speaker 3: person that stood in between them and he was getting
[56:10] Speaker 3: he was getting pushed around quite a bit, was our
[56:12] Speaker 3: strength and conditioner Dan. He was going, oh, come on, boys,
[56:19] Speaker 3: let's all, let's all be full of love. He's the nicest,
[56:24] Speaker 3: he's the best bloke in the world, unbelievable strength and
[56:27] Speaker 3: conditioner as well as good as they come. And he's
[56:29] Speaker 3: in there and everyone loved him. So he thought, oh,
[56:31] Speaker 3: they won't push me around or getting between them, and
[56:33] Speaker 3: they were just pushing him around like like literally there
[56:36] Speaker 3: was a little kid. Yeah, Oh he was funny.
[56:39] Speaker 1: It was a good time.
[56:40] Speaker 3: Running through the cows. What's the cow in comparison, Like,
[56:43] Speaker 3: like I talked about that camaraderie there do they? I
[56:46] Speaker 3: imagine the cowboys would be quite similar.
[56:48] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[56:48] Speaker 4: Where Obviously it's like a I guess a big I
[56:51] Speaker 4: mean drinking social community a bit, and I guess the
[56:54] Speaker 4: cows have always embraced the locals in that way. And
[56:58] Speaker 4: everything's twenty minutes away, so you livey minutes from everyone.
[57:01] Speaker 4: So if there's a shin dig happening and that like
[57:03] Speaker 4: most people are turning out, most of them coming and
[57:05] Speaker 4: so we're all together, all doing that.
[57:07] Speaker 1: Well.
[57:07] Speaker 3: I went up and visited you this year, and like
[57:10] Speaker 3: your squad is tight. It was a lot of good blows.
[57:13] Speaker 3: Like so when you have a good squad and you
[57:15] Speaker 3: want to hang around each other, you want to have
[57:17] Speaker 3: a beer together.

[58:07] Speaker 3: some appearances at the Mad Cow Gryffindor he's made his
[58:12] Speaker 3: face is basically on the door. He's the face of the.
[58:16] Speaker 1: Mad five spender.
[58:18] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.
[58:19] Speaker 3: He's got to be Colin to.
[58:20] Speaker 4: Jake Clifford were it once in their twenties days they
[58:22] Speaker 4: were like top five spenders at mad Care.
[58:25] Speaker 2: You really yeah, yeah, great place.
[58:27] Speaker 3: Yeah, anyone going up to Townsville. The nightlife there is
[58:31] Speaker 3: and the Madhower, it's a great great for a bit.
[58:34] Speaker 3: You always have fun.
[58:34] Speaker 2: When the cowboys first coming to the Colt drinking when
[58:36] Speaker 2: they're in come in in ninety five, you go up
[58:39] Speaker 2: for an away game and like you know, when you
[58:41] Speaker 2: get a city that was just hanging to get into
[58:43] Speaker 2: the NRL and suddenly they got themselves a team and
[58:46] Speaker 2: every every time, like the away teams to go, they'd
[58:49] Speaker 2: be fitted like heroes, like yeah there are so you
[58:53] Speaker 2: get you can get off the plane. And there were
[58:56] Speaker 2: there were blokes who represented all the nightclubs and bars
[58:59] Speaker 2: standing on the with free tickets. Just give them free
[59:02] Speaker 2: tickets to you for after the game, Like honestly, you
[59:04] Speaker 2: get up there, mate, The game was like secondary, yes,
[59:08] Speaker 2: may get this eighty minutes out of the way.
[59:10] Speaker 1: It is we're going to lose out mate.
[59:13] Speaker 2: We had we had trouble winning up there like quite
[59:15] Speaker 2: a bit because we weren't. We went up there and
[59:18] Speaker 2: tried to play our style of football really open and
[59:20] Speaker 2: moved the ball around, and we weren't ready for the conditions,
[59:23] Speaker 2: like you know, because it was so hot and the
[59:25] Speaker 2: ball ended up being really slippery. Later on we worked out, mate,
[59:28] Speaker 2: just get up there and do less to keep getting
[59:30] Speaker 2: repeat sets and try to burn them out. But did
[59:34] Speaker 2: do you remember the time we fletch and I interviewed
[59:36] Speaker 2: you blokes and there was a push up competition, mate,
[59:39] Speaker 2: Tommy did and went down and I remember your your
[59:43] Speaker 2: media bloke just goes, mate, he'll he'll smash this, and mate,
[59:47] Speaker 2: we almost had to stop him. That's enough. Whereas some
[59:50] Speaker 2: of the other players. I remember Dylan Brown. It was
[59:52] Speaker 2: hilererois Dylan Brown. Dylan Brown. Brown did pretty pretty good,
[59:55] Speaker 2: but every push up he just he would he wins
[59:57] Speaker 2: all the way through. Oh mate, my back's a bit still.
[1:00:00] Speaker 2: This is really tough, Helen. We got to just go.
[1:00:04] Speaker 4: But did It was just mentally tough that like nine weeks,
[1:00:09] Speaker 4: won't run, won't do anything, come back run the bronco.
[1:00:11] Speaker 1: The one point up there.
[1:00:14] Speaker 4: A young kid actually beat him this year and I
[1:00:17] Speaker 4: reckon he's that competitive. So he lost his one point two.
[1:00:19] Speaker 1: Record up there.
[1:00:20] Speaker 4: It was like this young kid, Zach Hurdigan beat him
[1:00:22] Speaker 4: by a second, but like did and that this Hurdigan
[1:00:25] Speaker 4: can run, and but Tommy doesn't run at all. So
[1:00:28] Speaker 4: he comes back after chrisy If playing for Australia, runs
[1:00:30] Speaker 4: a four to twenty five, gets done by a second.
[1:00:33] Speaker 1: Burning, but he's burning.
[1:00:35] Speaker 4: He didn't shut, he didn't say anything, but like Jordan
[1:00:38] Speaker 4: McClean with that three little jabs and he burnt about
[1:00:41] Speaker 4: losing that time. So obviously he's on the ashes too now.
[1:00:44] Speaker 4: But I'm expecting Tommy to come, maybe run a few
[1:00:47] Speaker 4: times in the off season and then come back and get
[1:00:49] Speaker 4: his record.
[1:00:49] Speaker 3: But it's pretty impressive to see, like it's four twenty
[1:00:51] Speaker 3: five that you're flying anyway.
[1:00:54] Speaker 4: I'm four thirty one and I am like dead, dead horse.
[1:00:57] Speaker 4: I'm on the ground like next real, I'm out, can't
[1:01:00] Speaker 4: do it. But he just walked around this after he's
[1:01:02] Speaker 4: on it.
[1:01:02] Speaker 3: That was tough.
[1:01:04] Speaker 2: I spoke to one of the Tigers, one or two
[1:01:08] Speaker 2: of the tigers Blakes, I was chatting and told me
[1:01:10] Speaker 2: Lachlan Galvin, it's insane. Sixteen or something. There's not much
[1:01:15] Speaker 2: of him, but yeah, I.
[1:01:21] Speaker 3: Still like a Kenyan marathon runner. It looks like it
[1:01:23] Speaker 3: could absolutely run all day. We've taken a lot of
[1:01:26] Speaker 3: your time. But before you finish up, I want to
[1:01:28] Speaker 3: ask you the Ashes Tour at the moment that you've
[1:01:31] Speaker 3: been thrown around a couple you're adding for me in
[1:01:32] Speaker 3: New South Wales previously, I mean it's a red hot
[1:01:35] Speaker 3: field for New South Wales as the number one. Is
[1:01:38] Speaker 3: it still a dream for you presentative Jersey?
[1:01:41] Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I think. I mean, yeah, obviously this year
[1:01:44] Speaker 4: didn't have the best season. Consistency was so I thought
[1:01:49] Speaker 4: pretty good. Yeah, I'd probably said a few every game,
[1:01:51] Speaker 4: probably a few. I thought I had a few bad
[1:01:53] Speaker 4: things happened that was detrimental to us. But yeah, definitely
[1:01:56] Speaker 4: still as a dream.
[1:01:58] Speaker 1: Obviously there is.
[1:01:59] Speaker 4: A lot of great players in that one position from
[1:02:01] Speaker 4: him so far. So yeah, look, just got to probably
[1:02:05] Speaker 4: start fast next year in Vegas, so you get off
[1:02:08] Speaker 4: for yeah, start play well and then I mean, you know,
[1:02:11] Speaker 4: obviously you know Teddy's killing at the moment, and you
[1:02:14] Speaker 4: know him and Deal obviously probably the top two and
[1:02:17] Speaker 4: then there's a few of us below.
[1:02:19] Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely still want to play it.
[1:02:20] Speaker 2: The team. Just finally the team. I watch something the
[1:02:24] Speaker 2: side sometimes drinking and frustrates me so much because I
[1:02:27] Speaker 2: look at the team. I go, that's a team that
[1:02:28] Speaker 2: can win the competition. What what What is the thing
[1:02:31] Speaker 2: that's holding his back?
[1:02:33] Speaker 1: As it's probably just every day consistency.
[1:02:36] Speaker 4: I reckon day to day life with a lot of us,
[1:02:38] Speaker 4: probably more of the younger boys, and then you can
[1:02:40] Speaker 4: just you see on the field we're so inconsistent, and
[1:02:43] Speaker 4: I guess that probably it just comes back to your
[1:02:46] Speaker 4: week leading up to training or your off field stuff
[1:02:49] Speaker 4: and what you're doing, and then your mental prep.
[1:02:52] Speaker 1: I guess.
[1:02:52] Speaker 4: But yeah, we're a team that you know, when you
[1:02:55] Speaker 4: have short turnarounds and you can't train as hard, we
[1:02:58] Speaker 4: struggle with those sessions need to be intense training. Yeah right,
[1:03:01] Speaker 4: we played really well after we've had an intense session,
[1:03:04] Speaker 4: but the obviously can't do that every week, so we
[1:03:06] Speaker 4: need to find that balance and be good. Yeah, if
[1:03:09] Speaker 4: it's a low session, you carry that.
[1:03:13] Speaker 1: Through we can.
[1:03:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really interesting.
[1:03:16] Speaker 1: We talk about it a lot. We try and change it.
[1:03:18] Speaker 1: We try. We talk about that so.
[1:03:19] Speaker 3: Much easier said, when when your body is wrecked after
[1:03:22] Speaker 3: a short turn around, we can't.
[1:03:23] Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's probably That's what I told this.
[1:03:25] Speaker 2: Is so brilliant with the football. If you could work,
[1:03:27] Speaker 2: if your defense elevated to the point that you could
[1:03:31] Speaker 2: defend the errors which invariably will happen, is the top four.
[1:03:34] Speaker 4: Yeah, the one hundred percent, because obviously you've got to
[1:03:36] Speaker 4: throw the ball around a bit in your own your
[1:03:38] Speaker 4: own half these days, you can't just tuck it out,
[1:03:40] Speaker 4: I mean, unless you like obviously Penmer felt pretty well
[1:03:43] Speaker 4: there back five.
[1:03:43] Speaker 1: But yeah, you've got to be able to move the
[1:03:45] Speaker 1: ball and.
[1:03:46] Speaker 4: I guess get out a halfway to kick the ball
[1:03:48] Speaker 4: in a good position.
[1:03:49] Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we need to start to find
[1:03:51] Speaker 1: out there was a lot better.
[1:03:52] Speaker 2: Let's finish on the positive, right, what's your favorite song drinking?
[1:03:56] Speaker 4: Favorite song at the moment. It's a really good question,
[1:04:00] Speaker 4: and Jack asks me this, and I just always come
[1:04:05] Speaker 4: back to Lips of an Angel by Hindu. Oh, a
[1:04:07] Speaker 4: bit of a depressing song, you know, about bad morals.
[1:04:11] Speaker 3: But yeah, before he comes back to that, you know,
[1:04:13] Speaker 3: we'll finish. We'll sing it to finish all of us.
