  Speaker 1: Islands in the stream. That is what we are. No
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: one in between. How can we be wrong? Settle away
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with me to another place. And we rely on each other.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: From one lover to another.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: RIP Dolly. Tribute. Yeah. To old Dolly Parton.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Kenny now, also gone.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gone.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And those two.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the bonus episode of The Shed. No Sammy
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: with us today. Sammy's in Sydney.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Because of the Friday night footy.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: He's got a bit on.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Is he though? No. He says he's busy. He says
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: he's busy, but I always see him doing nothing.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And sometimes they'll do that whole broadcast on Channel 9.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You only see him for 10 seconds.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: They do it from here, I thought, anyway. I thought,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: isn't it all out of, like, Or was nine all
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: out of Sydney?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Do you know, Bruce?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's all out of Sydney.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's out of Sydney.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Is it? Okay. There we go.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: If you're in Sydney, which I hope there's some fans
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in Sydney. Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: I thought he was all like me. But if there is,
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: and you spot Sammy doing nothing. Yes.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Can you send it through, please?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Just having a bludge.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just doing nothing. Yeah, having a bludge. Like, he
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: should be here working, but he apparently thinks he's that busy, so.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Now, you and Sammy, we should say, both had a
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: pretty good day on the.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say good. You just had shit.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Not as bad as me on the tipping. Although, I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: still winning. I'm 101 tips. You and Sammy have opened 90.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think in the last two weeks, you've gotten six.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I'm falling apart toward the end. But I'm still there,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and we're in the finals now, so I reckon I
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: can hold on.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You're that guy at the pub where everyone hates.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, I'm home.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We're home. Shut up. And then the horse loses.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I'm home.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Watch me.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: 101 tips. I've got this. Three lengths.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I've got it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Fall's over.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It's a lock.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Now, Reno, this is the big news. Big news today.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: What happened? I haven't said anything. You've never heard of it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Your little mate, Reno, he came out and said, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I know that, look, the reality is that you are
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: still on the books at the Broncos, so you've got
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to be careful what you say.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I don't because I'm a fan of the Broncos.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can say what you like.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Go for it. I bloody love the Broncos, and I
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: can't believe that Reno, he came out and said.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I would have liked to have played in my last game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: It's not going to happen, so I've retired.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Then the next day, after Madge cops a whole lot
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: of heat, the next day, Renault does another press conference
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and says, oh, I think I mixed.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Up my words a bit there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It was my decision, which just doesn't seem true.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So what do you think?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I think they've told him he can't play. They've said, no, mate,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: we're focusing on next year, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You're retired.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: And Madge and the Broncos have copped that much because
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: we put a post with our radio show and we
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: just got hundreds and hundreds of comments, people going, let
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: him play. Not one person said it's a good decision.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And so I think that they're under so much pressure,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: they made him retract his words. It's almost like they said, listen,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: you're going to be a coach next year. Here's your
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: first coaching assignment. Go out and BS everyone and tell
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: them that you didn't mean it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on. I'll just make grunting noises. But, um, okay.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Well, just put your Broncos, take your Broncos hat off
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for a minute.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's hard when I get paid.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I know. But as his mate, as his mate, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: would have liked to see, you would have liked to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: see him play.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Um, I just think, you know, when a player of, of,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: of his caliber retires, which there's not many, uh, you know, I,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I really do put Renault up there with some of
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the greatest to play this game.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, like the top.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: You know, if we're talking halfbacks, you could go top 10. Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: You know, and if you go top 10, like, that
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: is some, that's a list that you want to be around.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Well, there's plenty of good halfbacks that never got two premierships.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: No, and that's exactly right. Like, there's some of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: greatest halfbacks we've ever had.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Like, you know, probably just one, they probably had one. Like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: I would even go somewhere to the lines where some
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: maybe won none. But, Again, you know, to call him
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: a great halfback winning none probably doesn't fit.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But, you know, I just think, yeah, of his caliber,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's really hard.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: To see, not get a, it's not like he, yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: he just doesn't get a send off, I guess. Like
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: he retires one of the greatest and his stats, his results,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: what he's done at multiple clubs, you know, they speak
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: for themselves. And that's what he, he will retire as.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: And everyone will remember him as that player, how good
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: he was.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: He broke the.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Brisbane Broncos drought, 90-year drought. We went to two grand
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: finals in the four years he was here. Or five years, sorry. Yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I think if you put all that aside, I just
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: think it would have been nice to be able to
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: send him off.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But that's not the case.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Especially because our finals are done. It's not like it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: going to affect anything.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And I think that's what everyone is talking about.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Like they would have just thought, give him a minute.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Put him on the bench as a minute.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: And if the game doesn't go that way, then him
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: still being on the bench, I'm sure they would have loved.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: But I feel like now it brings in that chance
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: for me to go get a little Shetland and I
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: can trot him around on a little pony.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: That, That dream's still alive. It's still alive. I think
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: he actually commented.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: He did. He said, get me on one.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: On our story last week. He said, I want to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: be on the Shetland.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So, look, it could happen. That'd be awesome. That'd be fun.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: You know those Western movies? Maybe, you know, during next week.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Just the middle of Caxon. Just all you see is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: like a little pony down the middle of Caxon and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you And it's me walking Renault. Yeah. Down the middle.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Beautiful.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Giving everyone away. Just a farewell. That's gorgeous.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: So what do you reckon they will do given that
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: he's not playing?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: They'll still want to farewell him somehow.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Last home game.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's a good question.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Um, I think when Sammy retired, which it would be
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: nice if he was here, he'd be able to answer this.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Question, they had on the field, do you remember that? Yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I think on the field they had a presentation.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Before or after the game?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: After.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: After.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: After the game, they had a big presentation for him,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: so I would think something similar.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Okay. Along those lines.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: It then again goes back to, I reckon, what he
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: wants to do because I feel like we're all forgetting.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: This is the part that I– I've really pushed this.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: I've tried to push this a lot because when I retired,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I just kept it a secret and told no one.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: And I kept it tight-lipped from everyone.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: And everyone hated it when I released it. But I went, well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: it's my career, not yours, not the club's, not the media's,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: no one's.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: This is his career. You know, he's retiring his career.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: No one else is retiring him. Like, he is. It's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: his career and he should choose the way he wants
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to go out. Like, this is what. It really bothers
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: me a lot when people try and make it about themselves.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Why didn't we get told? Why didn't you do it
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: with us? Like, no, I want to do it my way.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So I feel like if he wants to do it
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: like that now, yeah, by all means do it. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: think it would be something the crowd would love, but
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: he may want something different. He may want to walk around. Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You know, he may want to do a walk around
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: before the game.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: I feel like that would suit Renault more because– it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: like it's still that feeling, you know, the crowd.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I mean? Like after the game,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's a bit dull.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Your people start leaving or whatever else. Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I reckon before the game, a walk around, not in
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: a ceremony, just he gets to walk around with his
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: family before the game while the boys are warming up
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: and do it that way. I think that might be
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: a good way to do it. But then, yeah, I
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: think it should be up to him and that's what.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I want people to remember that. it is his career.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It's no one else's.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: And, um, you know, whatever way he wants to send
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: it off is, is I think we should allow him
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: to do it that way.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: As a betting man, which I know that you have
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: a tiny flutter every now and then, uh, um, what
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: do you.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Reckon he's going to do next year? Like is coaching?
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Um, yeah, I think, I think he has wanted to coach, but, uh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: you know, he might just need a rest from, from
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: it all.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I really, you know, it's a long time. I think
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he's done 16 years.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Like, Does he have a whole year off?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, just, yeah, maybe six.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Months and then he slowly brings his way back and
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: just hangs around the club for the last six months.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I know he'll do media. I think
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: he's great.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I really like hearing Renaud on the weekends on Fox
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: and that talking. I think he'll be really good. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: think he might dabble at some commentary. I'd be surprised
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: if he doesn't. And then I'm sure he'll have the–
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: he does like the Triple M stuff.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He's done that for a fair while, so I reckon
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: he'll be doing those. Yeah, he's good.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Whether or not he goes straight into coaching, I don't know.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: I really do think he'll take a little break. You
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: want to sit back and really get out of that circle,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: I think, just to really give your mind a good rest.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Now, last week you mentioned we're talking about the Broncos
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and you were confident the Broncos had a good chance
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: because Ben Hunt was going to be playing in halfback
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and then he'd take the game by the scruff of
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the neck.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: You didn't listen to me.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I did not listen to you. And you were right.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I was glad I was right. Yeah. If I wasn't right,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I wasn't going to sell.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: It was a narrow victory in the end. but they
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: did it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: They did it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: And Hunty was good.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He did play good.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: And he did.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And he looked like he was bossy, which I really liked.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I think that's– we have a great team, great players,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: great talent, but sometimes your talent is just too much.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: You need a guy like Huntie to boss everyone around.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I understand you're all talented, but he's got to do
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: this first.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Let's just do our job. And I think he did
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that well. So it was good to see.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: What do you reckon his role is next year? Because
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: there's talk about him.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: We've got to fight five halfbacks.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: How many halves?
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: We're not going to be short in the halfback range.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: We've got Peasant, Duffy, him, Ezra. And then I heard
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: they were looking at Sam Walker.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, what are we doing? We don't need
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: any more.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Do you reckon he's a chance of being captain?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: It's interesting because my question is then who else would
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: you pick?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: If not him. Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You'd get Paddy. Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: But, like, you know, I don't think Paddy is a–
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I don't like seeing, you know, big players like Paddy
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: in that play in 80 minutes because I look at
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: long-term effects that it has and I'd love.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: To see them play in 60. So do you have co-captains?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Do you have Paddy and then when he goes off,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: it's Honey or someone else that's there?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That hasn't worked before, though. It hasn't.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: No, it hasn't worked, but Panthers do it. And they
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: have that exact thing. It's Yo and Cleary.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And I feel like it's a good... And I think
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: they do the roles well.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: It's almost like captain of the forwards, captain of the backs.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: It's captain, but then you give one dude their roles
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: that they... Penrith are just great at it I know
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: I'm a bit off top but they are crazy good
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: at their roles you can see Yo talking and at
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: the end of it Cleary talks or he doesn't it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: almost like their roles they know and they don't overwrite
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: each other I think I've really loved that and I
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: think when teams get that right it's hard to beat
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and that's why I think they're so good because they
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: know their roles they know their captains of each group
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: and the team and I think that's what Bronx will
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: need next year. I think we need a captain of
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: the team, but then you can also have that co-captain
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: of the Fords.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I think that'll work really well.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: And just before we wrap up the bonus ep, we
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: should say as well, Walsh is in a bit of
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: trouble again now because he's.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Liked a post where Maguire was Cop and Heath. I
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I know that he has media people. Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I know while she has a media, whether they look
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: after his socials fully, I don't know.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Do you hope they haven't done that?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping they have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Because they cocked it up royally.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I am hoping they have done that and it wasn't him. Yeah, okay.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Whether he thought, oh, this would be a good laugh
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: or not, I really hope he's thought about it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Because last time someone did that, who was it?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Marty Tapao.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Tapao. And he was gone a week later.
