• 1:45
  Speaker 4: it's scaled now from sort of 12 teams to 44
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: across three locations. We just had a lot of interest
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: to sort of– Some ex-NRL boys wanted to come back
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and have their time in the spotlight for a little bit. Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: But also, you know, it wasn't too arduous back then.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: You win cash. Is it cash? You win a bit
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: of cash, yeah. That's what brings the NRL boys. Cash.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: If you win, you get cash.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: They haven't won yet, so they keep returning.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Alex Glenn is there every year. Yeah. He tries to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: stack his team. I did see something last year. A
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: few old Bronx teammates there. They've tried hard, but they're old.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: They need to give up.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Him and Judy Kaye just give up, bro. Mate, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: was always faster than you. Their bodies still work though.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I know, and he had like four ACLs. Yeah, so
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: what's your excuse? I'm old.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: But either of you playing?

• 3:20
  Speaker 3: lot really. Is it the take a knee, hemi hip?

• 3:34
  Speaker 3: heavy yarn. Go on the ground and everyone make a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: moaning noise. That's it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I'll be giving out massages too. I'll rub the balls out.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You are a good masseuse. I am. Strong fingers. Thank you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: You're welcome. Don't think about that too much, everyone.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: How can I not?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So what was it like playing nines when we used
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to play nines before, like lead up to the season?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, shit.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: And I remember that was one of the fittest I'd
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: felt for a long time and I didn't feel fit.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Playing.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Playing nines.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Nah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I think I played the first two years of it. Nah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I think after the second year. Yeah, second year was
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a bad one. Wayne said, maybe you don't go over
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to Hawthorne and play again. I go, oh, thanks. Thanks, mate.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You're better off resting up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: First year. Get you ready for the season.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: The first year, I remember, I didn't play, but we
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: were watching. And the boys actually took it not fairly serious,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: but they did pretty well.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Second year. Cowboys won. Yeah, he's won and he's won well.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: He's had a good team. That's different. He's had a
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: cracking team, man. It was perfect for the Knights.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: Second year, Bronx, I don't know if we went too serious. Me, Milford, Semi,
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: we're at the pub. We left and we just... It'd
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: be beers.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. And we made the semis. We were
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: one short.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: What's the positional play?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Do you play forwards? Are there forwards on the field
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: or just all backs?
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: There is, but it's hard. And it's more of your
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: kind of ball playing forwards.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Players that can offload. That's why I was there. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Don't you laugh. I actually played middle if you don't remember.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I hated it. It was so shit. I remember tackling
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: big Kane Evans on my own.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I went, oh, this is going to suck.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: But yeah, you've got your positions, but it's pretty hard
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: to stay in them.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: But it's about the rotation, am I right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And I think it's evolved as well. I think it
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: was a big man's game per se. And there's a
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: few Adonis' out there, of course. We had Lavaha Pulu
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: play last year, and he was like pain the whole time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: No one could actually do as well.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Feeder that's played as well I mean definitely Sam Cassiano
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: still has it he's trimmed down a fair bit but
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: he's got all this soft skill but he's super.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Fit yeah but he's scary.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: So those big you know there's a place for us
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: yeah the genetic freaks can get through like yourself yeah
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: but um but yeah there's a fast walk on you'll
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: be good.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: At that all over that touch.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah no it's uh All shapes and sizes, I suppose.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: It all depends on how much energy you've got and
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: repeat effort.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So it keeps the chance.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. We'll find you a spot. We'll find you a spot.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Josh McGuire's blind as a bat. Oh, yeah, he is too.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: He'd be fine. Just take him off. Does he wear
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: contacts or anything? Nah. Nah. It wouldn't make him worse,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to be honest.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: All right, so Corey's got first draw.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: First draw.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so we'll draw one out. That'll go into
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: pool one. Draw two into pool two. And we'll just
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: build the whole thing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: As we go up. First team, pool one. Gary, who
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you got? Team one. Kip's got a little... Ring-a-ding-ding, you've
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: got the Coastal Rays. Coastal Rays. Oh, Coastal Rays.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: They won the competition, actually, last year. They were T.L. Marama,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: but they've rebranded.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, rebranded. Wow. We know how rebranding goes. It didn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: go well for the Bronx this year, did it? No.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So they're based on the sunny coast, the Coastal Rays?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: That's true. They're based on the sunny coast.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Very handy team. They went through to the Gold Coast, so...
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Out of these qualifiers, the top two from both Brisbane
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and Sydney go through to the Gold Coast. But you
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: have to retain your spot in the top 12 to
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: get through to 2027. So these guys won 2025 in Brizzy,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: went into the Gold Coast, and then got bowed out.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: They end up in the bottom 12. Sorry, bottom four.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: So it's sort of high stakes, and there's that promotion
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: relegation element to it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Keep them honest. Keep them honest.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Keep them honest and keep them honest.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: First team in pool number dos two. Ah, we've got
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the Iser Warriors.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: From Mount Iser, let's hope so.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I want you to hope so.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You'd hope so?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Just a red hot guess. You know, probably there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from Mount Iser.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: What have you got for us?
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Everyone's been on the chat GPT and got the logos
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: made of leather.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It's nice with the logo.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: There's the stack in the back. Is there any, like,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: unicorns as a logo? Any just, like, nice, gentle? And
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: then you come out with the big dogs. Remember the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: unicorn that I had for the shed back in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: day at the start? You know what I call it?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The Red Hill Pony Club? Now, if we bring a
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: team in, which will never happen. Red Hill Pony Club.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Red Hill Pony Club. I like it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Have a unicorn. And then we come out and absolutely
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: just block the shed. All right. First, Eyes of Warriors.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Eyes of Warriors.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: That's got brand name.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And you've got some lads are.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, basically from out of Mount Isa. They'll pick up
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: a fair few boys. Yeah, they are.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Love the fight.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: They won our shield division out of Brisbane last year,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: but they just built a huge community out there as
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: well as in North Queensland itself. I think they'll start
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: to build a fair influence from Cairns, Townsville, Mackay as well.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: But they were sort of trying to ignite rugby league
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: back out in Mount Isa because it's been falling flat.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: But from there, yeah, they've just built this touring team
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: that jumps into competitions. And they had a red hot
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: crack last year. Funnily enough, they made it through to
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: day two. They were very late. for their first, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: basically knockout final of the bottom eight. That's it, that's it, yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Horrifically hung over was Joe Taruga, and we've got some
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: good highlights of him, he's a big man, and he
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: killed it for them last year, but, I just said, mate,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: you've just got to get here. I don't care. We've
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: got to figure this out. He's like, all right, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: he rocked up. Basically, glad to wrap on for shorts.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Went all the way through the final, so I don't know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: He got better with age, even though he's hung as
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: a dog. They're amazing to work with, a great community group,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: and they'll be probably a little bit more professional this year.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Let's see. I don't know if it works.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Uncle Frank and Uncle Vern got to play for them
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: or not? Maybe we could. I think they're ambassadors. A
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: couple of eyes of warriors right there.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: That's right. Daisy Wood.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Righto. Pool three. Ooh. The North. Now I don't know
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: what that is, but that's a crocodile and a dragon.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: It's a merge.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: A crocodile and a dragon, it looks. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Am I right?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: It's a merge.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Basically, the North is a rep team that's going to
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: be pulled together from former Cowboys.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Is it all the school reps?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: No, it's former Cowboys boys, Jimmy Tamo and Khalifa Fofalo.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, the boys.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: They want to try and create almost like a little
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: mini-branded team that's going to represent North Queensland. So they're
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: going to get boys who've been connected up there, whether
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: they've played at the Cows, Blackhawks, Cairns in Pride. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: they'll sort of boost their numbers from, I would say,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: some Q cuppers or some local sort of good A graders.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: And then I think they're going to hit up all
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: the nostalgias like, you know, Gav Cooper.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, not Gav. He'll fall into an ashtray. He wouldn't
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: be able to make it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And will Tamo play or is he just coach?
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: He'll coach. He actually has to get a hip replacement.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, right.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: He needs a new hip, right? Yeah, he needs a
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: new hip.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I know those boys, too, are doing some stuff up
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: in Innisfail as well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: With Antonio Winterstein, yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: So, Tones will be involved in this group by the magic.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: They're winning it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: They've got it, yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: With all that info, they are winning it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: On the field or they win off the field, given
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: the group of boys.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the other thing. If you're versed on the
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: next day, just go to the bar. So, you want to... Beer? Drink? Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: We're on.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: That's the key.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Load them up.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I love it. Load them up. The North. All right.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Pool four. First team is.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Image Properties.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Image Properties. The Moddy Raiders, yeah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't be a real estate team, would it?
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's Cam Cullen, actually.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: So he's running Image Property on the Gold Coast and
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: also as a branch in the base area.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Is there a height limit in that team?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, Sam.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Can you play it for us?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be able to play for him.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I'd be too tall. Yeah, sure.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: But that'll be a good side.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: That'll be a good side.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: He'll get a lot of the voice back from, I
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: think he's 2018 Redcliffe, like premiership team.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: So he's going.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: To try that. I reckon he might send you a message, maybe.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: He'll know the answer.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: If anyone wants me to play, it's 20 grand, all right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Is that it?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: There's budget.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: That's how much it costs for a knee. That's what
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I mean. There's insurance. It's got to be worth it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: That's all, you know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: But that'll be handy. That'll be pretty.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Handy as well. Nice, nice. Back to pool one.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, back to pool one.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: That'll be a great team actually. He's a handy little player.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: He was a great little player. Great little half. Great half,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: you know. He played above his weight. Little mongrel. We
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: had to because he wasn't much of it. He could
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: drink though.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: That's what he's worried about, actually. He said it's not
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: about getting to the top and playing day one. It's
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: actually day two.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I know him well.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: If we do our pool games and we get into
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the top eight and the boys are feeling good in
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: their bay side.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I'll come for a beer colour, eh? Just rule the
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: weekend off. I don't know, the Wanderers.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Wanderers, they're in pool one.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Where are they from? The Wanderers.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: They're taking on the Rays in pool one.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: The Wanderers. Oh, the Blues. The Blues.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: So the Wanderers will have a few different boys from
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: sort of out in the Darling Downs as well as
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: the Brizzy Colt. Yeah, they had a fair sort of
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: PNG influence and a lot of Fijian boys have a
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: run around from them as well. We're doing a bit
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: of work over here. But they were tough. All the farmers.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Just people you don't want to play, you know. They
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: run into you. You don't want to tackle. You don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: want to be tackled by them. There's all muscle.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, that hurts. For sure.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: They were fourth last year, so they go all right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they went well.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Fourth place.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: What have you got? Aha! My boys, here we go.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Titans of Coal.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Tell us, look.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: The Titans of Coal.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I like that logo.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: That's my favourite.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I'll get you a hat, mate. I could be your mascot.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: You could.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: How long have I got?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Train. Give me the train. I've got to get those.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: You've got to have your shirt off, though. Yeah, I've
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: got to train hard. What are you going to give me?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: And then I need you to do like, not full
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: black face, but rub a bit of.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Coal on your face. Yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Almost like Ben Stiller. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Which is called Zoolander when he's in the coal mine. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: That would be good.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But sexy coal. Okay. So I've got six weeks, eh?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Six weeks. Six-week program. That's it. I'll be all over that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I will be coaching. I'll be coaching these lads. But yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: they're a great team.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: They bowed out in our semi last year. Toddy Carney
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: and Jacob Miller having a run around for them. Probably
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: be a new team now that you're in recruitment. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: If you're recruited. And coaching. Might be. Get a bit
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of Blackstreet Tread out there. Find some Mad Murrays.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Hit up ACC with the results of the QMC.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, no way to do this thing. Who you got, mate? Selwyn,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you didn't make the Australians. Are they all going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: rock out? Are you getting the bus, picking them all up? No,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I've got to drive my own car.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Have you got a heavy vehicle license?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't, yeah. I can drive a forklift, but
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I can't drive a big bus.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: You need a HR license. Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It'll kind of suit, you know, the coal is getting
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: off the bus. Yeah. Then going to work.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: No, we'll just get a big coal truck and we'll
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: just roll off the back of the bus.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Pile in the back.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: All right, so who else is in pool three?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Pool three. Pool three. The Renegades. Renegades.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Wide Bay Renegades.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: The Wide Bay Renegades.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: So this is Bundaberg.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Bundy, yeah. And basically that Wide Bay region. So similar
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: to the Warriors, they've sort of made sure that there
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: is a senior competition and opportunities for players in their
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: area to actually go and play more high-level footy because
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: there's no rep now for Wide Bay.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: What?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, basically like once you get into the adults, yeah,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: that's the sad part of it. But these guys are
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: doing a wonderful job. They've got about 70 registered players
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and they played in– You know, Townsville Nines, they go
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: over to Las Vegas each year, and then last year
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: they went to this one. Yeah, they were tough. They
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: were tough.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: All rough out there. Farmers.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: But perfect form.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tough. Perfect form. They could have the rumbos and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: still kick your ass.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: They could have a few Fijian pickers in there too.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: They may well. Yeah. Bundaberg region.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: A lot of Fijian lads over there that are part
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: of that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: It's a nice logo. I like the logo. I'm a
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: big fan of that logo. Just simple, you know.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: The lasso and the cowboy hat.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Getting it going.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know what you're going to get when you
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: see him now.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: All right, pool four.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Next team. We have the Bayside Seagulls. Is that Wynnum?
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: That's Wynnum. Yeah, they've rebranded for the purpose of this
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: in their commission comp.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: How original.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Bayside Seagulls.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: How original. Can you get us them for that logo?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Do something different. It's the exact same.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: At least it's on a green.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Well, it's got a bigger beak. It does.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: It's got a longer beak, I reckon.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a big beak.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit albatross-like, actually. Just slightly albatross-like. They
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: should have gone with the albatross.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Or do something other than the seagulls. Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I think they'll reach out to you, too, to maybe coach.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I know you had a bit of time there, maybe
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: one or two games. No, no, no. Now you're getting stretched.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: It's 20 grand.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: They used to play reserve ground, actually. No, I didn't.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They don't want anything to do with me. I've ruined... Like, yeah,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go there. Well, they're still like
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: your father-in-law and mother, aren't they? Why not?
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: It was an inaugural day that I scored the match
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: winning drive for South Logan.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Against Wynnum Park.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, there you go.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. Yeah, so I don't think they like me very much.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Nah, they're a good community club. That would be a
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: good team. We're there this year. They're our host venue
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: as well at Kitchener Park, so that'll be awesome for us.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: We had a great time at Roadshow last year, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: they've got just such a great set up there.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Kids uh our beer shack zone you name it sort
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: of thing so that's another.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Thing too it's a it's a community event there's stuff
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: there for the kids.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: For sure yeah yeah yeah so we'll have a ton
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: of kids activations whether it's you know clinics jumping castles
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: face painting you know you name it there's going to
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: be prizes sort of given away for the kids so
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: it is family friendly and then there's a big um
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: sort of beer garden section with beer shack that we
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: collaborate with each year so um Dad can sort of
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: have a couple of beers and look at the giant
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: crèche that we've sort of provided.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: How good is that?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: A crèche. That's a thing.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Like a pub with a playground.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Back to pool one.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Back to pool one.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Pool one. What blue is purple? Shots on. Oh, yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I love it. Shots on.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: So this is our first sort of interstate team from
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: the NT, actually.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Big Natty Jarwal is going to come down and assist
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: the coach with those boys, the former Australian basketballer, which
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: will be cool. But they've got a lot of boys
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: coming out of the NT. They'll have a lot of
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: boys out of the NT, obviously, and then they'll top
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: up with some relationships that they've got in the North
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Queensland region.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: That's smoky. Ballonet would be hard. He'd be hard to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: stop five out.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like with speed as well. You've got
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: a couple of flyers on an edge and you've got
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: someone who can kick if they play back out footy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Fitness too, speed. Oh, it's smoky. It's going to be hot.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: There's a young 17-year-old. I saw some highlights of him
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: the other day playing up there in Northern Territory. Indigenous fella.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Any chance of a name? Because then anyone that goes
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: well that day that's an Indigenous, but that was him. Yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: that's pretty broad. That's a broad answer. He's an Indigenous farmer. Yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: real fast. He tends well. Lots of potential.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, righto.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: So 90% is his name. I'll figure it out. All right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Here we are. All two here. Yes. Lockyer Valley Vikings.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. Lockyer Valley.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Lockyer Valley.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Pretty well in the name. Yeah, they'll be representing most
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: of the Darling Downs region.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're all going for the toughness.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They listed a fair few boys who actually just
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: played in QMC and also the KO who'd won it,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: like Jerome Burns. I know Chris Woodbridge is sort of the...
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: The up-and-comer playing for the Clydesdales at the moment. Likely
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: won't play because he'll be signed somewhere. But they've just
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: got all the cream of the crop out there. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: they'll top up with some talent, I think, from interstate.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: It's not bad, is it?
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: They'll be handy. They'll be a good side.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: It's a good place, actually, for a talent that is
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: struggling to get seen. like it's not a bad place
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: That's it for sure there's some great players that come
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: through these competitions a lot of people will be.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Watching it you know and I'll be like that you
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: know mate no.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: More recruitment dudes come watch this like you've said come
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: watch this dude give him a name obviously yeah his.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Name is Bala his name is Bala.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: But yeah wow okay it's going to be good All right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Pool 3.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Ooh, the North Coast Kings.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: North Coast Kings in Pool 3 as well.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Pool 3. They're a feeder team to one of our
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: top 12 sides. A feeder team? Yeah, so we just
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: had a lot of interest and a lot of the
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: teams have actually had interest in wanting to play in
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: these sides and we've just said, well, if you're up
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: to it, you can play in the qualifiers. And mind you,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: we didn't know we were doing qualifiers until nine months
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: out of actually doing them because there was the interest there.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: But yeah, some of the teams that have been on
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the journey with us and that's North Coast Marlins, they
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: made a feeder team. They made two actually last year.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: They had one in Sydney and one in the Brizzy comp.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: But it's probably a bit easier for Francis to manage
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: from here. But they'll be handy. He has almost like
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: a full pre-season sort of schedule for when they get together. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: it's hectic. But some of these boys love it and
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: they need it as part of their lifestyle and their routine.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: It keeps them off the drink and keeps them training
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: and together as a family sort of group.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: That would be very handy.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: They find out why rugby league players drink so much.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: This season is not fun.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: No, that's right.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: All right, we've got pool for four.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: We've got the Indigenous Munna.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Indigenous Munna.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: So they come second last year. They qualified to go
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: through to the Gold Coast. They're a very handy team.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Levaha Pulu, they had a lot of boys actually from
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the Darling Downs that I think will... I've got to,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe play for the Vikings.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're robbery.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: There is, yeah. There's a bit of trade going on.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: If you just can start a leak page, I'll just
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: give you all the info.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: And then you just say, you know, the Shed Potty leak.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I can leak whatever you want.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I'll leak it, yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Let's do it. But, no, they'll be very handy. They've
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: sort of got boys across from the Sunshine Coast, southeast
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Queensland region, but they'll top up with some XNRL boys
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Sunny Coast, full of some great talent.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: That's a cool logo they've got, isn't it?
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: That's cool. What is that, Sammy?
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I can't see it for me.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: It's like a bit of a, it's an indigenous and
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Maori tattoo together.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: It kind of, one tattoo, sorry, logo all the time.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Is that a fire? It looks like a flame. Yeah,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: a flame? Yeah, yeah. So just my own.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: Interpretation, I can see a circle in the middle, which
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: is always representative of a meeting place.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: And then flame and fire is always. You actually do
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: know something.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You know that. Yeah, yeah. I thought you were pretending. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I just tanned well.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: All right, so we've got the last four.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Last four, here we go. Here we go, last four.

  Speaker 4: The crazy horses.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: The crazy horses.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Now, that's a good logo. That's fun.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: See, wasn't that famously a strip club in Adelaide?
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: The crazy horse.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: You're telling the story here, Kip.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It was before I was old enough to go.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so. I believe
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: you went.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: No.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Was it in the name? Eh? It was. You know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: that looks like Buck on Mad Monday.
• 22:59

  Speaker 1: It actually does look like a crazy horse.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's great. They're from sort of Logan. A lot

  Speaker 4: Mustangs. Yeah, my apologies. So, yeah, they're a community team,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: but they were very similar in a sense that they trained, yeah,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: ridiculously hard probably after season to actually go after this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: They have a few Australian touch players who play for
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: them as well, which is always really, really handy. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: that Axe Vector. But they'll be a good side, and
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: they always bring a good crowd as well.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: It's not a bad way to play touch in this
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: nines comp.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Touch your own taggies, yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: A touch-style game. If you can tackle, though, too. That's
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the hard part. Need to make tackles.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: One of your bugaboos, yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Can't remember that ahead. And legs. And legs, but that's
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: the same. Either. Either one of those. All right, here
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: we go. The last one in two. Oh, Gerrard's team.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: The mighty District Panthers. Owned and operated by the great
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Gerrard Yowie.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: They came last last year. Just thought I'd mention that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: It's the only stat I read of the whole sheet.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: No, they were an interesting one because Jarrell obviously is
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: hugely passionate about footy, but particularly about his area, like
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: growing up in that Hills sort of district. He wanted
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: to come up with something that was fun and giving
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: back on his own terms. So obviously he's attached to
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: the West Brisbane Panthers and West Brisbane Panthers. So he
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: wanted to merge both the logo but also encompass the
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: whole district sort of area or the Hills district, you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: given that's where he's sort of come from. But, yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: he's done an amazing job, and he's got a big
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: following just in terms of the bloke he sort of is.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Might be a good side if you've
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: got all those boys.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It'd be a fair team.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I think they won. They might have even won the
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: BRL this year. So if he recruits right and these
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: other teams haven't snapped up those players, then it could
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: be a chance. But another league for this one. He's
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: offered Hoffie to play for him. Hoffie plays for Alex
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Glenn's team in Legacy, the top 12.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, do it, Hoffie.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Don't know if those qualifications have been had yet, but.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: That's up to Jarrell. I mean, that's coaching. No, do it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: That's what you have to take on when you're a coach.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: You've got to make the hard calls.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Well, if you haven't noticed too, I've got to come
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: up against J.Y.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: White as well.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: That's some control.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe Jarrell and I. Maybe we'll come commentate this and say,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: look at this old thing running. Hey, he should have
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: retired years ago.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Hey, you.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I did retire years ago. No, from all sports. Oh,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: that's sad.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: All right, last spot for pool three.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: There's It's all right. You only need one, mate. It's maths. Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: It's this one. What have we got? Brisbane Veterans. Jackals.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Brisbane Veterans Jackals, yeah.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Jack of all trades, master of none?
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Pretty well, no. They're great. They're almost a return serviceman team.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: It was a good, it was basically a really good
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: way for blokes to reconnect through sport, through mental health,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: coming back from service. Yeah. And they were very handy
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: last year. They, like a lot of our servicemen, they
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: take their jobs pretty seriously. When they do their footy,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: they do the same thing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: They're a really cool addition for us as well, particularly
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: around the kid zone because they included about four bush
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: rangers for the kids to climb all over inside last year. Oh,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: how good is that?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They kind of look like tanks, those bush rangers.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Pretty well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: They go inside those. So kids are just climbing all
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: over them inside and they get to hang out there
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: for the day, speak to the service and have a bit.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Of an activity.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: No, no, not at all.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: You know those footy games where you go, I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: that guy's killed a guy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Some of those guys have.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: It's on that team list.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: You just shut him out of that whole game. No,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: you just don't say anything. Good hit, good hit.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: And then, yeah, our last team, obviously, Kip is 138 Select.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: 138 Select.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I actually really like their logo, actually. What is it?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: They're cool, yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: They're like an events plan branding team that's from NZ.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: One of the blokes, Carlos, over there, who owns and
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: runs it all, he does a lot of the... Actually,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: he just ran a fight.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: The other day.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Carlos, that seems like a really.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: It's an events manager's name.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Carlos Price.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I hear those names a lot, Carlos.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: He just put on that fight night that Manu Vatavai
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: just fought on a pre-fight recently. And he's doing some
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: good things over there in NZ. And yeah, he's watched
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: this over the last few years. He's ran the Fiji
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Rugby Sevens competitions over there, as well as the Nines Comp.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Is this their first year?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And this is their first year sort of coming across.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: He's going to have a look at it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Well, before this is on, the weekend before, I'm in
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Fiji coaching as well.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Introduce yourself.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Wow. Okay.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: If he's there.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: With how much the game's grown in New Zealand? Like that?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Off the back of the Warriors and what they're doing.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: What are they paying? Is there odds on this? There's
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: no betting markets on this. Oh, dang it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: We've got to chat to Pony Bet.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Okay, righto, righto. What about knuckle bet? Let's
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: chat to knuckle bet. Let's just go knuckles. Come on, mate.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Get some odds on there.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I want to win some cash. Open up some wagering
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: for us. That would be cool. I think the cool
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: thing to that is that there is the appetite, obviously,
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: to get to New Zealand. We'll likely get there next year.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm coming back.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: And then we'd add another qualifier on. So we'd reduce
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: our Gold Coast finals to top 10. And then the
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: top two of that would come over. Top two from Brisbane.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Top two from Sydney. We'd fill up the bottom six
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: that gets relegated. So that's the overall plan and then
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: to the UK at some stage. Top 8, bottom 8
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: each year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I'll commentate that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Are you on there? Left me on read last time
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I messaged you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: No, I did. I thought I got back here. I
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: don't know. I'll have to check. I'll have a look
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: this year. If I'm free, I'll pop down. New Zealand?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Talking about New Zealand?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Where would you go in New Zealand though? That's the
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: big question. Would you go to Auckland or would you
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: try to go somewhere else?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I think we'd probably do the same. It wasn't a
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: hard sell putting it on the coast, you know, say
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: in your first year that you come up because the
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: boys love to get away and they bring their families
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: and it's coastal. Yes. Albeit if we sat it in Brizzy,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: you're probably getting a lot more players and teams jumping
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: in straight away. But we sort of pitched it as
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: a holiday for families as well as the boys to reconnect.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Where's that? would you do it in quincy budget maybe
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: like a mount monganui that's that's probably the spot over
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: there and they've got really good facilities it's almost like
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: the gold coast early beach equivalent over there um so
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: that would be the idea it's just about yeah making
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: sure that it's feasible and we can raise the sponsorship
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: that they can actually pay for the players to fly
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: over and then go into the Gold Coast finals. You'd
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: hope so. Yeah, you'd hope so.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Let's talk. Let's talk. Let's get it at Christchurch, I reckon.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Christchurch?
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: You reckon? Yeah, yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I've got some connections there. You've got the doors. I
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: think that's a great idea, though. Grow the game.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: The doors open. I think it'd go well. I think
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: they would want it there.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And if you do chat about it, because
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: they want to grow the game. For sure. Christchurch is
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: a smart place. idea yeah you're on today yeah well.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day like christchurch are right
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: in the negotiations at the moment with.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: The nrl and trying to get a team over there
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and i.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Think it would just yeah that'll push it that'll yeah
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: i think it'll up the game they just had and
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: then if this like goes there and does well and
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: they see the crowds they see the turnout they see
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: the passion.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: They're hosting a double header christchurch.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: For the uh for.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: The world cup yeah um they are yes so that's
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: going to be awesome for them but yeah Christchurch is
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: up and coming when it comes.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: To rugby league I think you know I think you'd
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: probably think it's a big one but it doesn't sound
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: stupid at the end of the day with what is
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: on with what is a chance with the NRL team
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: the expansion they've been there for a game it's sold
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: out it's done well yeah I think that's a good idea.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: A good idea.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Sean Johnson obviously was a player that was made for
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: this type of 49ers. Of the current crop, who do
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: you reckon? Who would be the ultimate player of the current?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: If you could pick any current Canarell player.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: There's so many more now. Just give me three.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Give me your top three. Who do you reckon would be?
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: You'd go KP. Yeah, Ponga. You'd go Walshie. Yes. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: you know what? You need a- Give us a forward.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: You've got to give us a forward.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: A forward would be- You know who it would be.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Manu Lele Lua. You reckon? Yeah. Because he's just the beast.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: There's two back rowers for nights.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: No, but like both. I understand both. And the other one.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Both.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: You've got players like Dylan Lucas. I really think he'd
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: be great at this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even the young
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: fella for Roosters, the back rower. What's his name?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: I'm asking you.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, what about Marky Mark? He'd be unbelievable.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: He'd be great at this. Tommy Dean, isn't he?
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah if you go props he's fit competes on everything.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: If you go props Nafim White is it did I
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: say that right yeah did I say that right yeah
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I reckon he'd be great totally I just think yeah
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: like the game our game has changed a lot.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah Joseph Tapaner he would be good.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Big range good offload yeah over the.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Top hit ball hit the ball And he works hard
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: as well. And he can answer that. You've named every
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: fucking NRL player. Who wouldn't be good? Who wouldn't be good?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, who'd be the worst?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Now, past or present players? Probably Kourios. Paddy Carrigan. Oh, sorry, bro.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Come on. No, I'm joking. Who wouldn't be good? No,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: it was an easy game.

• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Lindsay Collins, I'm sorry, bro. I'm sorry. He's a try-scoring four.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? He's a big man. He's
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: built for this.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Right now, this present moment, I don't think Nathan Cleary
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Good right now. You wouldn't think Cleary? No, if we
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: got it right now. We just had a broken leg, mate.
