1:48
>> Oh, he's gone. He's gone.
1:49

1:56
>> While waiting for Tom to jump back on,
1:58
what have you been up to, mate? What's
1:59
going on?
2:00
>> Oh, crazy stuff. Yeah.
2:03
So, I've had I've had the week off to be
2:05
fair. Um I've had the week off, just
2:07
half term, so I'm off to um I'm off to
2:10
Brunai for the next three weeks. So I
2:13
always seem to take a half term off
2:16
before I um disappear for three weeks
2:18
and leave the family to fend for
2:19
themselves.
2:20
>> Yeah.
2:21
>> Um
2:23
um but yeah, it's it's
2:25
I'll be eight hours ahead. So um when uh
2:29
at this normal time um he's back. He's
2:33
back.
2:34
>> There he is.
2:35
>> Sorry about that, guys.
2:37
>> I tell you what, Tom, we'll let you
2:39
carry on. Um, so tell us what's going on
2:42
with Rosenddale this season. What your
2:43
season's aims? Like I've been a big fan
2:45
of you guys. Um, I think I helped
2:48
arrange a game against Chester Romans
2:50
when I was at Chester. What's going on,
2:52
mate?
2:52
>> Yeah. Uh, so we're um looking okay.
2:55
We've got we've got the numbers down.
2:57
Training's going well. Uh, we want to be
3:00
>> Don't Don't be telling us like what
3:03
types of plays you're doing.
3:05
>> Trouble. I won't go won't go into
3:06
anything like that. It's just
3:08
everything's moving along well with the
3:10
coaches have set up our ethos and what
3:11
they want from us. A lot different this
3:13
year than last year. Obviously, results
3:15
matter now. It's not just a matter of
3:17
turn up, do the job. It's go out there,
3:19
win games, and push to to be competitive
3:23
against everyone we play against.
3:25
>> I feel like you were nearly about to
3:26
swear then. Don't swear. We're a PG
3:29
podcast.
3:31
>> Well, I mean, um, so Ross andale are
3:34
near my end. Um, and I think in your se
3:38
in your games this season, you've got
3:40
Leicester, which is hard. Uh, Lee
3:42
Miners, who look like they're doing
3:43
really well. Um, I want to say Donnie.
3:47
>> And who else?
3:50
>> So, we've got Birmingham, Wakefield.
3:53
>> Wakefield. That was it. Wakefield
3:54
>> Wakefield. Wakefield W. You've got to go
3:56
to Wakefield Wy
3:58
Riders. One step backwards. Abdul.
4:04
>> Okay. You're you're a B fan. Um, how did
4:07
you get into American football?
4:10
>> So, uh, I can't think of the year. Uh,
4:13
me mate's a big Patriots fan and he
4:15
invited me around to watch the Super
4:17
Bowl where they lost. Yeah, they lost to
4:18
the Eagles on the Philly special and
4:22
he's ped me pinged me for years. So, I
4:24
got in, watched that, thought, you know
4:25
what, I'm enjoying this. I'll I'll I'll
4:27
pick this up. He said, right, you need
4:29
to pick a team. And being a Glasgow
4:31
Rangers fan football, oh, Bears, Bears,
4:34
I'll do it. Why not? It just kind of
4:35
like stuck with that. As dapp as it
4:37
sounds, it was I like that name for this
4:39
team, so I'm going to go do that one for
4:41
that one.
4:41
>> Brilliant. Brilliant. I mean,
4:44
I don't even know Lee's story, so I'll
4:45
get Lee's version of it, but my version
4:47
was was um I was in Edinburgh at uni and
4:49
I got kidnapped by a bunch of Americans
4:51
and ended up moving over with them and
4:53
now I'm a dedicated Bronco. Um, how do
4:56
you think the Bears will do? I mean, how
4:58
do you think the Bears did this season?
4:59
How do you think they'll do next season?
5:02
This season was it was a dream season
5:04
really. So before the season started I'd
5:07
have been happy with a nine and eight.
5:08
Just maybe push for the playoffs but a
5:11
winning season I'll take it. But to win
5:13
the division beat the Packers twice
5:15
which you can't ask for more than that.
5:16
>> Eight and0 Packers
5:19
I know. Yeah.
5:21
And take the Rams all the way to the
5:24
time did it get so in the end. It was a
5:26
great season. I'm hoping they can push
5:27
on but I'll take it. I'll take I'll take
5:30
playoffs any year.
5:31
>> Brilliant. Brilliant. Well, Lee, what is
5:34
the last you Lee? How did you get into
5:36
it?
5:37
>> H So, for me it was um I mean I'm I'm
5:41
ex-military, so I I I served 12 years in
5:44
in the British Army and for me I was I
5:48
was a massive rugby head. I I loved the
5:49
NFL. I loved the NFL. I love watching
5:51
the games and you know, back when it was
5:53
on channel 4, you know, watching it
5:55
whenever you can. Um, and obviously
5:57
that's that's when I found the Eagles on
5:59
one of the Channel 4 uh episodes. I
6:02
think I think they were against the
6:03
Bears at the time to be fair as well.
6:05
Um, and I I just followed the uh
6:07
followed the Eagles from that day. Um,
6:10
this was obviously when they were
6:11
playing in their Kelly Greens, so you
6:13
know, that was a great uniform back
6:14
then.
6:15
>> Um, but yeah, when I when I left the
6:18
military, uh, you know, I suffered quite
6:20
a lot with my own mental health. Um, you
6:22
know, I've I've I've served in in some
6:25
of the hot countries. Um, been seen some
6:28
seen some not some not very nice stuff.
6:31
Uh, and when I left the military and I
6:33
left I left all that behind me. Um, you
6:37
know, I I I suffered quite heavily with
6:40
the PTSD. Uh, and one of the things I
6:42
really wanted to do was, you know, to
6:43
try and find some uh, you know, some
6:47
camaraderie again as I had in the
6:49
military. Um, and rugby wasn't doing it
6:53
for me at the time. I was kind of uh I
6:57
think I struggled to to find a local
6:58
rugby club for me to to get into. And um
7:03
I was sitting there watching my Google
7:04
and I just sat there thought I just
7:06
wonder if there's any any British teams
7:08
around. And um that's when I found the
7:10
Cambridge Cats and kind of rocked up to
7:13
training. Um and yeah, they kind of took
7:16
one look at me and said offensive
7:18
lineman. And uh that happened to me.
7:24
I I moved back from Colorado
7:27
to where I live now and it, you know, I
7:29
didn't know there was any teams. I fell
7:30
in love with three things while I was
7:31
over there. The food, American football,
7:33
and Shaniah Twain. So, obviously, I
7:35
couldn't bring the food or Shia Twain
7:37
back on me, but I could certainly try
7:38
and do the football. And then, not to
7:40
quote Shia Twain, but you know, didn't
7:42
pressing me much and I'm stuck with it
7:44
now. That's it. Right. Um, so look,
7:47
let's chat some NFL Lee. give us some
7:49
news of what's been going on this week.
7:51
What's going on with the Miami Dolphins?
7:54
>> So, I mean, yeah, this this this is the
7:56
biggest question, isn't it? What are the
7:58
Dolphins doing? You know, are they
8:00
setting this up for a for a tank season?
8:02
You know, they've just arguably
8:05
released, you know, three fantastic
8:07
players. Um, you know,
8:09
>> would you have would you have any of
8:10
them in your teams, guys? Do
8:12
>> you know what I mean? Again, this this
8:14
is one of those things, you know, Tyreek
8:16
Hill
8:18
was whether he still is post post
8:20
injury, I don't know, a fantastic wide
8:22
receiver, but
8:26
he comes with baggage. Do you not agree?
8:28
You know, he really does come with
8:29
baggage. He's
8:30
>> he's a bit of a liability when it comes
8:32
to, you know, the wrong sort of
8:35
attention, the wrong
8:37
>> things coming happen happening in the
8:38
media and stuff.
8:40
>> I I was speaking to me dad and Tom, I
8:41
want to go to you after this. wants to
8:42
know what your views are on them
8:44
dolphins. But my dad was like, describe
8:46
it to me in football terms, soccer. And
8:48
I said, it's the Holland squad of the
8:50
70s and the 80s. They've got these great
8:53
players and there's just issues fighting
8:56
egos and that's why they're not better.
8:58
Tom, what what do you think about the
9:00
Dolphins, mate?
9:03
>> I don't know if it's Well, yeah, they
9:05
probably are going to tank to be fair
9:07
because they've sold everything off,
9:08
haven't they? Um, Hill's going to wind
9:10
up back with the Chiefs for another
9:12
year, I think. If anyone takes him, it's
9:14
got to be the Chiefs. They'll have to go
9:16
back.
9:16
>> Say that. But, um, their QB's just
9:19
lowered his his um, apparently he's
9:21
lowered his contract, you know, to get
9:22
the wage bill down, but this is still
9:24
above 10 million above where they should
9:26
be.
9:26
>> Was this is this the Chiefs?
9:28
>> Yeah.
9:29
>> Really?
9:30
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's
9:32
>> I think the one the one thing I would
9:34
disagree on that one is, you know,
9:36
obviously they they traded Tyreek away.
9:38
They got Xavier Worthy in, you know,
9:41
they've got Rashi Rice. Do they really
9:43
need another wide receiver?
9:44
>> Do they need a really good wide receiver
9:47
who isn't always injuryprone? That's
9:48
what they need cuz
9:49
>> another one at all. Yeah.
9:51
>> Yeah.
9:52
>> Um but I mean looking at Tyreek, you
9:54
know, if if if the Eagles were sniffing,
9:57
I would be really disappointed. I just
10:00
don't think he is what the what the
10:03
locker room needs for the Eagles. You
10:05
know, and I don't know about you, Tom,
10:07
and how you think he would fit in the
10:08
Bears locker room,
10:10
>> but again, Matteo, I don't know about
10:12
you with the Broncos.
10:14
>> I feel like our wide receivers are spot
10:16
on. It's running backs our teammates.
10:17
Um, you know, we got found out against
10:19
the Patriots about our QB. And I've said
10:22
before, the only reason the Patriots got
10:24
to the the Super Bowl was because Bonick
10:26
was injured. Anyone who disagrees with
10:28
me, um, send some of the drugs that you
10:29
take, please. Um,
10:32
I'm just I'm just Look, I'm just talking
10:34
speaking facts. Um you anyone who wants
10:36
to argue with me, I will send you the
10:38
link and you can come in and tell me all
10:39
about how much how many head hits you've
10:42
had. Um you know, whatever. Um I want to
10:45
talk about something else. Um the
10:47
Seahawks are up for sale.
10:52
They won the Super Bowl less than 10 11
10:54
days ago.
10:56
What you think about this league? What's
10:58
all this about?
11:01
>> I don't know. Um,
11:04
you know, is I'd like to hear Tom's for
11:06
you on it first to be fair.
11:10
>> I'm I've got to be honest. I didn't even
11:12
know they're up for sale as soon as the
11:14
season finished. I've moved on to over
11:16
to rugby league and been plowing through
11:17
to that. So, not not been paying much.
11:20
>> Your rugby league teammates.
11:23
>> I'm a wig. No one's pers like me. Don't
11:25
worry, it's fine.
11:28
>> Weirdness, weirdness, weirdness.
11:32
>> Okay, I mean, look, look,
11:35
they're for sale. Um, they you'd imagine
11:38
they're going to be up there for
11:39
favorites for next season to win it. So,
11:41
let's see what happens next season with
11:43
them. Um,
11:45
look, they're, you know, we could speak
11:47
about draft picks. They're going to be
11:49
the team that's going to obviously get
11:50
the worst draft pick because they've
11:51
done so well. Um, but for me, what's
11:54
interesting going into next season is
11:56
there's quite a lot of free agents that
11:58
could make a lot of teams a lot better.
12:02
Um, okay, Lee, any more news from the
12:05
NFL this week? Anything else you want to
12:06
talk about?
12:07
>> Um, I mean, apart from really the
12:10
Dolphins in my eyes, you know, with the,
12:12
you know, it wasn't just Tyreek,
12:14
obviously. You had um Bradley Chub,
12:17
which I still think he's he's a
12:19
fantastic, you know, edge rusher. he
12:21
still was in his, you know, although he
12:23
has got a few injuries,
12:24
>> you know, he's he's very much a plug in
12:26
and play kind of guy. You know, if
12:28
you're missing that that edge threat,
12:30
then, you know, he's the kind of guy to
12:32
to slot in there. And I think he's
12:34
probably going to be the top free agent
12:36
this year. Um but yeah, I think I think
12:39
it's now it's getting down to the
12:40
nitty-gritty um of looking forward to
12:43
the draft, looking forward to the
12:44
combine, you know, trying to identify
12:47
what your team needs to improve in the
12:50
draft and in the free agency that you
12:52
know because obviously we like you said,
12:54
you know, there's there's the NH the the
12:57
NFL app uh is is is got a a feature on
13:01
at the moment of all the free agents
13:03
that have coming up this year. Um, and
13:06
there's quite a few of them. Um, you
13:07
know, and you're going to start hearing
13:09
over the next few weeks, you know, so
13:11
and so signed back with the team and and
13:14
you know, hopefully a lot of it they'll
13:16
stay in house, but there'll be a few
13:17
which don't get the extending contract
13:20
and they will be on the chopping block
13:23
and teams will be looking to to bring
13:25
them into their organization. Well,
13:27
talking about a really really overrated
13:29
team, the Philadelphia Eagles have just
13:31
announced that Lane Johnson for the 14th
13:34
season. Wow.
13:35
>> Yeah. Yeah. This this this is this is
13:38
one of the ones I was alluding to. You
13:40
know, again, Lane Johnson was was a free
13:42
agent, but you know, obviously he he
13:45
suffered quite a serious injury towards
13:47
the end of last season. Yeah.
13:48
>> But he is he's the rock of that
13:51
offensive line. you know, he is he is,
13:53
you know, a firstrounder ballot hall of
13:56
famer um right tackle. He is he is legit
14:00
and to to imagine him in any other
14:04
uniform would be absolutely absurd. Um
14:06
so I'm chuffed to bits that they've
14:08
they've renewed his contract and he's
14:10
going to be coming back for for next
14:11
year.
14:12
>> So Jens, I have a question for you both.
14:15
>> We've just spoke about combine. I want
14:18
to know if you were in the NFL combine,
14:20
what would be one thing that would you
14:22
would shock everyone else at? So, I'm
14:23
gonna go first. Obviously, I played
14:26
right tackle for years. I'm very quick,
14:29
so I reckon that 50 yard dash very, very
14:31
rapid. Tom, what could you do really
14:34
well in the combine?
14:37
>> I don't think I can do anything. I think
14:39
what would be the most surprising thing
14:40
about me is falling over my own feet.
14:43
>> Lee, you're up. Um, yeah, broad jump
14:47
maybe. The only thing
14:49
>> broad jump. I've got I've always quite
14:51
good at jumping when I was at school.
14:54
Um, but yeah, the 40 yard dash is
14:58
definitely not my sport. I've got two
14:59
shorter legs to do that.
15:01
>> I'm rapid me straight down that pitch.
15:04
That time I was playing for Crew
15:05
Railroaders and it was punts. The balls
15:08
got punted and I'm running and running.
15:10
I'm like, he doesn't want it. It's
15:11
bounced off this guy's chest into my
15:13
hand and I'm like, I don't want it. And
15:15
the guy scared me. I've landed in the
15:17
end zone on your shoulder strap.
15:21
Never again. Um Tom, who is Rosendale
15:25
the first team you played for then,
15:26
mate?
15:28
>> No, no. Um I was with the miners when
15:31
they first set up.
15:33
>> So yeah. um was with them for their
15:37
inaugural season during co
15:40
>> uh didn't did yeah didn't didn't work
15:43
out with them and then me Daniel Donnell
15:48
and Adam Ward moved away and decided
15:51
there's stuff we wanted to do and then
15:54
um I took a nice backseat and gone to
15:56
being a player now
15:57
>> enjoy you mate listen I always say these
15:59
the best best times of your life
16:01
absolutely the best times of your life
16:03
Okay. Um, I asked a question on our
16:06
other show, Monday Night Huddle. Um, and
16:08
I assume you've played on a few grounds
16:10
now, mate. I want to know the best
16:12
ground you've played on and the worst
16:14
ground you've played on.
16:18
>> Best ground has got to be Belleview when
16:20
we played against Titans last year.
16:23
>> Absolutely love that.
16:25
>> Um, worst one, uh, probably ours when it
16:29
rains.
16:33
Brilliant. Brilliant. Um, so obviously
16:37
did did you watch the Super Bowl?
16:41
>> Where did you watch it?
16:43
>> Uh, I was at home. So I' splurged a bit
16:46
on building a home gym. So I wasn't
16:47
traveling to go and watch it elsewhere.
16:49
>> For anyone who hasn't seen Tom
16:50
Robinson's Facebook, it's like watching
16:52
an 80s version of Rocky Bala with a
16:55
Jesus beard. He's he's And obviously if
16:57
you listen to this on Spotify, it is a
16:59
beautiful beard. I'd try and blow do do
17:01
one of them, but if I put me head out
17:02
the window, they would all blow off. Um,
17:04
okay. What did you think of the Super
17:06
Bowl?
17:09
>> H I Well, it it was rather one-sided.
17:12
The Patriots had no business being
17:14
there. Like you said before, they
17:15
wouldn't have been there if it wasn't
17:16
for Bonix's injury. That's the game we
17:18
wanted.
17:19
>> I will say this, even if the Broncos
17:20
would have got there, the Broncos would
17:21
have got beat. And that's just me being
17:22
like I I sometimes I play the annoying
17:25
Broncos fan and all that, but for me,
17:28
the Seahawks just too good. do a perfect
17:29
offense and defense.
17:31
>> Fantastic.
17:31
>> Absolutely. I think the best team won
17:33
there by far.
17:34
>> 100%. And you know what? Sometimes we um
17:38
we get it where it's it's not the case,
17:40
you know, where like last season don't
17:42
think the Chiefs deserve to get all the
17:43
way there. They did. They rode the look
17:44
a bit. It is what it is. They got there.
17:46
But did you get what I mean by that?
17:48
It's going to be an interesting one. Um
17:51
Tom, I want to know where you think the
17:52
Bears are going to finish next season.
17:56
And I want you I want you to be I'll be
17:58
honest. I I want to know where you think
18:00
the Packers are going to finish next
18:01
season.
18:04
>> So, right. It's always hard to pick your
18:07
own team, is it? I want playoffs again.
18:10
I'd like to say they'll win the division
18:12
again, but I don't think that happens
18:13
twice back to back. They're going to be
18:15
get found out a little bit now. Now that
18:17
we've had a year under Ben Johnson,
18:19
teams are going to start figuring out
18:20
like the Lions had us both games. So, I
18:22
think the Lions will win the division.
18:24
I'm gonna be Bears second sneaking into
18:27
the playoffs. I'll go 10 and seven for
18:29
them. And I hope hope the Packers have a
18:32
awful season and finish at bottom and
18:34
miss the playoff. No more 17.
18:36
>> No, no, no, no, no. I never asked you
18:38
that. I asked you where you think my
18:39
Packers are going to finish next season.
18:44
>> They'll finish bottom of the division,
18:46
missing out on the player.
18:49
>> Awesome. Awesome.
18:50
>> That's such a bear's answer. Do you know
18:52
what we have?
18:53
>> Yes, it is.
18:54
>> We have we have a guy who who follows
18:56
us, Nathan, and he's he's more of a mate
18:58
now. And um he is you need you two need
19:01
to meet. He's in Plymouth, mate, but you
19:02
two need to meet cuz he is bears through
19:04
and through. Like every every comment,
19:06
bears, bears, bears, bears,
19:08
>> bear down, bear down. I
19:10
>> I think if we had bears in the UK, try
19:11
and hug them even though they're
19:13
absolutely ferocious.
19:16
>> I once I once seen a black bear when I
19:19
was living in Colorado.
19:20
>> Did you? I didn't I didn't realize bears
19:22
could scream that bear because they're
19:23
not that big black bears. They're more
19:25
scared of us than than we are, which I
19:28
thought was mental. But I was I was
19:31
urinating outside. I've heard a noise.
19:34
Thought what's that? Turned around and
19:35
as a big black bear. I've never ran so
19:37
quick with me pants down and my feet in
19:39
me life. I think I have broke the 50
19:41
yard dash record when I seen that bear.
19:46
>> Um Lee, have you got anything else, my
19:48
friend?
19:49
No, I was just gonna come back to Tom
19:51
and say, you know, I think I don't think
19:52
the Bears are going to get found out. I
19:54
think Ben Johnson is a
19:57
>> I think I think he is a offensive
20:00
mastermind. I think he is already
20:03
scheming up next year's um in the new
20:07
offensive sort of schemes. Um, I think
20:10
if he has a really good draft, I think
20:13
the Bears could, you know, get to the
20:17
NFC Championship game. I really do. I
20:20
think they are they are
20:22
>> primed, ready to go.
20:23
>> Who do they play?
20:25
>> It's going to be the Eagles. It's going
20:26
to be the Eagles for
20:27
>> Oh, I think you're two seasons away from
20:29
I think it's Seahawks.
20:31
>> You think? I I think I think, you know,
20:34
with with, you know, the coordinators
20:37
leaving
20:38
>> Yeah. I I think there's going to be a
20:41
bit of a shift. You know, it's always
20:43
one of those things, you know, that that
20:45
that Super Bowl winning team is not
20:47
going to come back the same this year.
20:50
There's going to be some players that
20:51
are going to be moving on free agency.
20:53
You know, you can't afford to pay every
20:55
single player again. You know, that
20:58
whole,
21:00
you know, carousel where somebody some
21:03
people are going to come in, some people
21:04
going to leave. And I think, you know,
21:06
they're going to be good. I'm not going
21:07
to not going to doubt, you know, they
21:09
will be good. Um I just don't see them
21:13
winning the Super Bowl again this year.
21:16
>> Look, it it's it's an interesting one.
21:18
And the thing is is like my Sundays
21:20
aren't the same now because there's no
21:22
brick ball. There's no brick ball.
21:24
There's there's no um there's no NFL
21:26
now. The uniball I'm I'm still getting
21:28
into a bit. Um obviously I didn't play
21:31
uniball. Even when I went to Edinia, I
21:32
did I didn't play uniball. So, it's just
21:34
like the only thing I've got to keep me
21:36
going at the moment is Tom's home gym
21:37
workouts.
21:42
Um, but Tom, um, obviously it's
21:45
pre-recorded episode. We're going to get
21:46
this uploaded tonight. I want to say
21:47
thank you very much for jumping on very
21:49
late and with it. Um, how can people um,
21:53
contact Ross Andale if they want to join
21:55
or play?
21:57
>> Um, we do everything through the social
22:00
media sites. Instagram, Facebook are
22:02
probably the two best places to get in
22:04
touch through. Message straight through
22:06
to the club and someone always gets back
22:07
to them.
22:07
>> Um, just before we go, mate, what's so
22:09
great about Rossendale?
22:12
>> What's Do you know what's so great about
22:15
Rosendale is it's it's a good group of
22:19
people, a lot of people who care about
22:21
not just the sport, but the players as
22:23
well.
22:23
>> You don't you don't just joining a team.
22:25
to join. It's going to sound so cliche.
22:28
You're joining a bit of a family, a bit
22:29
more of a that side of things.
22:31
>> I love
22:33
>> that's that's what you want, you know,
22:35
as as a new player coming in. You want
22:37
to feel that that warmth embrace, you
22:39
know? You want to feel like you're a
22:41
part of the team. And that that's how I
22:42
felt with the Cats when I joined them.
22:44
>> Mate, that's that's why I can't leave
22:46
the Bucks. Like I I I love the books.
22:48
You've got, don't me wrong, in every
22:49
club. In every club, you have that
22:51
negative norm that person who who who
22:53
wants to distance themselves. And you
22:55
know what, leave them to it, mate.
22:56
They're boring. See you later. You know,
22:57
whatever. There's there's loads of great
22:59
characters at our club. And I've I've
23:02
been quite open and honest and said,
23:04
"We've at our club, we've got some
23:05
players who who like that div two
23:06
mentality. You want to progress. You
23:09
know, it is what it is." But I really am
23:12
excited to see what Rosundale do this
23:13
season. It's a very interesting league
23:15
that because I've seen Donnie have made
23:17
some phenomenal signings. Birmingham are
23:20
a good team. Lee Miners have made some
23:22
decent signings and coachings. Um, so I
23:25
I can't predict that league where
23:26
there's usually I throw a cheeky
23:28
prediction in. So I'm really looking
23:29
forward to But listen,
23:31
