  Speaker 3: him in the team the whole year.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Oh who have I got I like? And who I
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: want to watch this year? I'm going to say Xavier Willison. Yes,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I thought his back end of last season was brilliant.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I think he was great in the Grand Final as well.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Uh And I just from having a conversation with Dave Bellard,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: who is the head of strength and conditioning at the
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Broncos at the season launch the other week. He said
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: that he's been training really really well and as a
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: as a as a forward who will be a leader
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: in that forward back going forward now with the exit
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: of pain Huss this is a season that we'll really
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: set up his own legacy at the club.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really looking forward to seeing how he goes
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, I feel bad though I've picked like
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a forward, I should pick it back as well.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You know, honestly, I think if he goes the whole season,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: he could clean up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: At the awards ceremony at the end of the year.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: He's always been that player, works hard, trains hard, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: such a great fella, such a very humble, humble bloke.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Really looking forward to seeing my favorite non Queensland player
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is far longo for the storm. Yes, Pappenhausen's gone now,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so all of a sudden he's going to be you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we saw a taste of him, saw a few games
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: where he was wild and yeah, I think I can't
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wait to see I just love watching him play. Every
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: time he gets the ball, you think something's going to happen.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So I think he's going to be I think without
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Pappenhausen playing every week, Yeah, I think.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He's going to be huge this year.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I think we all catered at last week too, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: we didn't name anyone that was going to.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Think I was going to win the Waterspoon.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, we all candidate, but I don't have a single team,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to be honest, I really don't.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's too hard. Did you go on, you have one?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Just keep a super mate, say West Tiger was going
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to They will, but I think it will be West Tigers. Really.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I thought, actually Jock Madam was good in the trial match.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Bronco's boy.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: He was at the Bronx for the last few seasons.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: He's gone down there or gone back there last year.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I'm unsure they've just said that to Adam Dewey is
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: going to be playing in the halves alongside I love
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that Jerome that I just yeah, I just think that
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: they're a club that's not settled off the field from
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: an administration point of view, I think they haven't.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They just sacked everybody.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if that's going to help. They're
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: still that merger at the end of the day. It's
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: still kind of and they sack everyone everything this like
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: you never.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Go into business with your bloody family. No, I don't
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: think that. I think what I've seen last year. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: think they can get better. We'll pick a team. Then
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I don't have my name one. I don't have one.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know what a pussy. What are the teams are?

  Speaker 1: I feel sorry for the Raiders everybody this year. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: then might I've got nothing?
