1:00final and here are some of the hallots for the six Jack L. Scooters after it Bill J. L. Scott L. Scott here's a miracle worker here's a miracle worker go live go live go live he's having the post we are hitting for 60 all

2:03and what about how soft the was we all was waving failed as the man failed as the kick it they were nursing they put their hand up they lose in front yeah great kick and strike field with two and a half minutes ago you think they're on the way to another grand final two seconds to go manly goes to the grand final they will defend their title against you castle here next weekend you know what's the favorite part of listening to these every week right Warren the making how good is it the Michael you know what it is I was just trying to figure out like as soon as I heard his voice they're still feeling just come back and even remember in the game trying to remember the game is best I could because I was 11 years old but I do remember the game it's the way I was trying to you know in comparing it to play calls and play by play that happened these days

3:05it's the way he's the volume of his voice increases right to the the punchline of what he's trying to say inflection the inflection which is very hard now I don't know if you can hear this over the mic sorry guys but Jordan Evans is about to sing kiss can you hear this? is this going through you yeah let us know in the text line if you can hear it coming through now this game Maddie I never thought of it how Maddie John's like he claimed that that was the match the one new cast of the 97 grand final what I do remember it was very boggy it was very it was we had a lot of rain it was a mud it was quite muddy yeah and maybe there maybe the extra time I'm sorry maybe the closeness of the game had taken it out but I never thought but I remember fields you nailed it fields you kicked the field goal and it just went over because I remember I think I put pressure on it because I don't feel since I was a kid and he got it and when he kicked it it just snuck over the over the crossbar it was a good man

4:05Monday though that's what Freddy was in a wheelchair the groin was cooked he's groin yeah about groin so some of the names famous names in this game obviously next to yours flesh Freddy Adrian Lamb Ivan Cleary Luke Ricketts your great mate mainly consistent of legendary hill who's no longer with us we're talking about him the other day twos my coach in 13, 14 and 15 Spud Carol and the doctor John Hopper-Warty oh yeah that was a good one love and social at the social media at the moment too Doctor Hopper Hopper oh guys this one here this is from Timmy you've got a text message that came through hey boys, would you say that Andrew Webstar of the Warriors Variety must be the best player and coach in the game right now with what he's done with Jackson Ford chees Timmy yeah he's the name that stands out the most the roster that he took over by no means

5:05would anyone have said that it was a top four roster he's made the finals in two of his three years so far is that correct? tell me this tell me this because I always heard Aussie coaches going over to coach the Warriors never worked and they didn't understand the culture the Kiwi culture do you feel he would have had to adapt to that or do you feel that maybe the players have adapted to him he definitely understands and brought into the culture now people forget he was with Ivan back in the day when Ivan so he went over there as an assistant ten years previous so he understood the culture understands the Polynesian way understands the history of the club so that was a huge advantage for sure going over there but what is it? when they say the Kiwi culture because I hear that I hear it thrown out but I don't really understand what I mean by that look I've been over here for so long

6:05when I got the opportunity to go back in 2010 and play for the New Zealand Māori the one thing that I took back that from a lot of that is when I was welcomed on on to my eyes which I guess the what would the it would be not religious just the spiritual landmarks which represent your tribe where you fought the kiwi they call it the kiwi and I think they're the one thing that I found that I picked up from my time especially on that in that New Zealand Māori camp in particular was that being very in touch with obviously your descendants and the people you come from but the land in the area was really important similar to the indigenous as well how that's really important to them so I understand that but in relation to rugby league you've got to go over there you've got to understand culture yes is it something Aussies when I grew up

7:05you'd play you'd get on the pierce you'd go out for two days then is that something nowhere near as much so you've got more of a church culture understanding that with the Polynesian kids going to a church is really important to not all of them but a lot of them and in the Polynesian and even the more so the Polynesian more so than kiwi Māori is a little bit cheekier but very respectful to your elders so you've talked about this before you know you would have met a player maybe a summer or tongue over the years take some two or three years to come out of their shell you know it's really accept and you've sort of got to build that trust with them a little bit more right whereas Aussies you know a little bit more knock about you know you can hit it off straightaway so he's clearly got all that covered at the moment and he's doing an outstanding job over there yeah so apologies again if you've just tuned in we've got Jordan and he's been and they're blasting his music so I apologise

8:06if it's coming through the effect Robert says there's a typical manly being unprofessional that musing in the background he's bleeding my ears I can tell you this you can dance my man Jordan can dance he's in for a big night he's in for a big ass he's been on the voice or something as we welcome the cheerleaders this is the the seabirds are they called the seabirds? well they used to be called the seabirds back in my day is it true that you weren't allowed to fraternise with the cheerleaders I mean it's a big going NFL no fraternising I think that started around my era when I arrived that was I think I think Spud's wife might even be the leader of the seabirds she was the instructor whatever the coach the coach Spud to be listening maybe Spud can yeah Spudley yeah so yeah there was yeah none of that hang on we got a good text from 9-5-3 he said kromie boys can you kromie please back

9:07back back back back I've been told that Nathan Cleary would be the head coach of the future second New Zealand team ooh that's why he sent jet over ah and used to the what did you call it? acclimatised to the marae marae do you get offended if we don't say marae correctly I don't I don't but I've grown up in my whole life yeah I think effort president Barack Obama Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st paid for by Virginians
