'He's got a great willingness to learn': Brailey's praise for star debutant

Moving on.

Mate, welcome to the show. We always love chatting to you. Jeez, your fans love their rugby league. They turn out in big numbers time and time again and you rewarded them with a pretty good win last night. Yeah, they sure do and rain or shine, they always turn up for us here at home and

I think when Bradman was running away with those tries at the back end of the game, it was a pretty special feeling out in that field. It was electric and it felt like finals footy a little bit. It was a pretty cool atmosphere to be a part of and I love playing at home. Tell us a little bit about Bradman Best. I know he played for the Blues last year but

He looks at the moment to be in, well, red hot form. I know he's come back from an injury like you have and probably a number of your boys have, but his comeback and his performance last night was simply outstanding. Yeah, he's outstanding. He more or less won the game for us single-handedly, but...

I think it was pretty the hamstring injury he had a few weeks ago had come at a pretty tricky time around that origin one period and he unfortunately got left out of the team with that but to be fair he works extremely hard off the field and obviously it's going to be pretty tough to get in there after Latrell's performance the other night and Stephen Crichton in the other centre position but

He's playing such good footy for us week in, week out. I think he's been our best performer consistently all year and brings so much strife for us out on that left edge there. So, yeah, we love Brady on our side. Hey, Jaden, last night Will Price made his debut. I've got a lot of questions to ask about Will Price.

The first is, Jaden, did the boys watch his post-match interview and have you heard about it on the ground? Yeah, I heard about it at the post-match function. A media guy was talking about it. But then I've seen it on socials floating around and it doesn't surprise me with Will. He's got no filter, but he's full of energy and that's what we love about him. He's an absolute classic, mate. It was a classic. It was the English version of the F-bomb with the axe.

With the accent. He did apologise profusely. I know. He just got carried away. He was the apologiator. Oh, yeah, it was the best. But I do want to ask this about him. He seems to be extremely popular, Jadon.

Yeah, he is. The first thing I noticed from when he came to the club was just how much he bought into the club and his teammates. A lot of guys are really shy when they first come in, but Will's just been himself right from the get-go, and he's really bought into...

the culture and the atmosphere we try to build here and you know if anyone tosses up in the group chat you know who wants to go for coffee or whatever it may be like Will's always the first one it's like he's got severe FOMO like you can't miss out on anything and he's just a few of them around he's a classic mate and we all love him and he's very respectful to like

Whenever the senior blokes has a chat with him about his game or he's always very receptive and he's got a great willingness to learn. So I thought he was outstanding for us last night. Does he ever put his hand into his pocket and shout the boys a coffee, unlike your former captain? No, he's good at that. Well, Paul Gallen's a feature on this program on a Saturday and the big man and him have a bit of a...

Well, how would you describe it? An uneasy relationship? I'd say, you know, sometimes you have a love-hate one. Ours is just a hate-hate one. Did you find him to be a punish like Daryl does on a Saturday? Who's that? Gal? Gal. Oh, Gal, yeah. Punish, mate. He never takes his wallet out. He always has a couple of silver coins in his pocket and he throws them on the table and that's what you get out of him. LAUGHTER

Good job. Hey, mate, where are you at with your future? Are you re-signed with the Knights? Because I heard someone say something yesterday saying you might be on the look-around.

Yeah, oh, no, I'm still at the club for the end of this year and 2025. So I'm still a couple of years up here. I love it up here at Newcastle. And, yeah, just been good back playing, you know, consistent footy. So, yeah, well, boy, I've been here for a couple of years now. And obviously it's been a bit of a tough, tough trot with injury. But, you know, I'm just really enjoying playing consistent footy this year and finding my feet again.

Well, congratulations on the win last night in front of 27,000 people. Put the feet up, mate. I know it's a day off for the players, so we really appreciate you giving us a couple of minutes to have a chat to the Continuous Call team. Good on you, Jadon. Chat soon. All good. Thanks, guys.
