02:36:35 Share

Now, live, right across Australia, the Continuous Cold Team. Ten metres out now they are, options right they go, left man sends it out the back, Sexton, threads the knee, Scherrigan, beautiful play!

With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Boyd Cordner. Levy, what have you bought for Sheilas over the years? Let me say this to you, Daryl. What's the last present you bought for a girl that wasn't related to you? I've got it. I know what he bought her. What? A pump.

Oh, nobody bought her. Batteries. I was actually down at Young yesterday. I did a speaking gig for the young Terry Pickers. Oh, nice. I put in an immortal performance. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. This will put the Panthers ahead by two. Right in front. 1,505 career points. Cleary.

Make that 1,509. Flags are raised. Are they given four points for penalty goals? There you go. I'm good, aren't I? Yeah, I'm good. You said 1,505 points. He kicks a goal. He kicks a goal and he said now 1,509. You sure you didn't go back and have that beer to Saffo before you came in?

I don't mind seeds in them, but I don't want tightness. You've got to spit them out. I want puffy mandarin. Yeah.

Are you with me leaving? I'm with you, but when it comes to the seeds, I'm just swallowing. Well, the seeds... Oh, hold on a second. Mate, you might have a mandarin tree growing out of your anus one day. You've got to be careful. He went to the doctor to show the doctor. The doctor goes, they're grapes. He goes, no, they're not. They're mandarins. LAUGHTER

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. Yes, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to the Continuous Call Team on this Saturday afternoon as we edge closer to the NRL finals series. We've got an NRLW match underway as we speak.

It is 8-4, the Titans leading the Cowboys as we take you around the grounds. 8-4, Titans leading Cowboys for all.com. And in the games played so far, the Melbourne Storm beat the Panthers 24-22. Thankfully, Nathan Cleary won't need surgery on that shoulder, so he'll be back for the finals. Manly in front of another sellout crowd in the driving rain last night, beat the Warriors 24-10.

And, gee, there are some problems with the surface at Allianz Stadium, which was virtually underwater after that heavy downpour an hour before kickoff. The Roosters too good in the end, though, 38 points to 14. So the Panthers storm.

Manly and the Roosters on track to play some finals footy and to feature deep into the finals as well. Look, a fair few controversial issues to raise with you this afternoon. The first of which is the Latrell Mitchell photo. He's been given a breach notice by the NRL. I think you've all seen the photo. And that's now in the hands of the NRL. He won't play another game this year for South Sydney because of a foot injury. The other controversy involves Les Boyd.

who's been elevated to the NRL Hall of Fame, and that will be made official at a function in the next couple of weeks. Darrell is right to feel aggrieved by the whole thing, and I know he's quite upset about the whole thing, and Darrell will have his say very shortly when I welcome him to the continuous call team. Some of the other players who have been elevated include Lionel Morgan, Benny Elias, Steve Renoff,

Cameron Smith, Jonathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Benji Marshall, Cooper Cronk, Greg Inglis and Sam Burgess. So we'll have a chat about all of those players this afternoon. Val Holmes, he signed with the St. George Illawarra Dragons. And Kyle Flanagan has copped a four-week suspension for biting Stephen Crichton. That suspension handed down by the NRL judiciary. If you'd like to join in this afternoon, 131873 is the number. You can email us via the website. So you click onto the feedback icon.

And you can text us 0460 873 873. Let's welcome the continuous call team. And, Daryl, as I say, good afternoon to you. I checked in with you during the week and you were understandably quite emotional about the whole thing. So let's give you your say about the elevation of Les Boyd and then we'll get back to doing what we always do and that's having a bit of fun. Afternoon, Big D. Afternoon, Levi. G'day, Gal and Boyd. Yeah, look, I am disappointed in it. I'm very disappointed in it because I don't think he deserves to be there, firstly.

I want to say, look, as much as you probably don't believe it, I don't like the limelight. Not in this situation anyway. And I hate picking up a paper and, you know, me being involved in, you know, tit-for-tat battle with Les Boyd. At the end of the day, it's not his fault he got selected. I'm a bit dirty on the people who selected him. That's who I'm a bit filthy about. There's 15 apparently in the group who selected Les Boyd. I mean...

I don't know who they are and I don't know who voted for him. But it's funny, I have been told by a few people privately who were on the committee, they didn't vote for him. So someone must have voted for him. But, you know, I said to you before, Livia, the thing that, and there's a few things that irked me, don't worry about that. But one of them, I am disappointed for the other people who have been voted into this election.

It's a monumentous thing for them. I mean, to be in the Hall of Fame of Rugby League is a big, big thing. And congratulations to all them. But I can't congratulate Les Boyd. Les Boyd broke my jaw. He had, I don't know, and you know what? I can't remember whether he got nine months or 12 months for me. I thought it was nine, but everyone keeps telling me he got 12 months. And then I think two or three games back, he eye-gouged Billy Johnston and got 15 months. Does he deserve to be in the Hall of Fame for that? No.

You tell me. You tell me. Does he deserve to be in the Hall of Fame for that? Look, there's other things that I want to say too. And I think there's, you know, other people who deserve to be there before him. And, well, I've got a couple of them sitting here today, whether they should be in there or not. That's other people to make that decision. But, you know, for Les Boyd to come out, I think it was yesterday, and say I should be thanking him for putting me in the spotlight. Well, Les...

Let me thank you now. Thanks for breaking my jaw. Thanks for letting me have six weeks wired up, my teeth wired up with metal, and I couldn't eat a thing for six weeks. Thanks for letting me have sustagen and water for six weeks. Thanks for finishing my season with Penrith. It was the end of the year for me. I couldn't do anything else. But above all, Les, I'd like to thank you for just extinguishing my dream of playing for Australia on that night. I believe...

Well, who knows? I believe I probably, well, I could have got there that night. They picked an Australian side that night. And that's what hurts the most for me, Levy. I never played for Australia. And I'm not denying it's probably more my fault than anyone else's. I was probably lazy. And if I was fitter, I probably would have

But I had an opportunity that night and for him to come out and say I should be thanking him for him breaking my jaw, I think is a little bit comical. So, you know, mate, there's a million things I want to say. I can't say them and I won't say them. But, you know, mate, as I said, I don't care if I never see him again or hear from him again. And he probably feels the same way. So.

At the end of the day, I am upset with it, and I'm not going to deny that I'm upset with it. I got told the other night by Peter Pasoltis, text me. He said, I hope you're feeling all right. And I thought, I was out to dinner. I was feeling great. I was just about to have a beer. I said, why would I not be feeling any good? And he said, Les Boyd's been elevated to the Hall of Fame. And that upsets me because in my – and I'll say it again. I think I know – I'm 68. I think I know what's right and what's wrong.

And this is wrong. This is wrong. And I don't care what anyone says. You know, they say, oh, you should move on and get over it. That's the way the footy was in those days. Well, mate, if the footy was like that in those days, why did he get nine months and 15 months suspension if that's the way it was? Yeah. He's obviously done something wrong and he has done something wrong.

and he needs to face it. And I don't think we should be celebrating Les Boyd in the Hall of Fame. Good on you, Daryl. And like I said to you privately, and I'll say it publicly, there is a hell of a lot of support for you, a lot of love and respect for what you've achieved, not only as a player, a coach, but as a media commentator as well. It's not about that. It's...

It's what's right and wrong. Yeah, I get that. And this is wrong. Yeah. Absolutely wrong. Yeah. You know, if there's no parameters to it, we'll make some parameters. He shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. He should not be in the Hall of Fame. And...

For those people who think you should be, well, that's your opinion, but oh my God, I don't think you should be. All right. Good on you, Darrell. Thank you, mate. Let's welcome Paul Gallen, who is here. G-Train, G-String afternoon. Hey, Marcus. Hey, boys. Hey, Boydie. Big man. Good to see you, mate. Yeah, great to see you, Gal. I'll pick that on your chin later. I'll give you a kiss hello this morning. Yeah, I know. It was lovely. Thank you. Beautiful. Thank you. Boydie, how good? Got the dog back. Yes. Very happy for a good home last night from Marley. Oh my God.

It could be a topic. Boyd, you come in today with a bit of an idea about a topic, so we can discuss that later. Really? Oh, mate, about dogs. Mate, I was stressed for him last night. But anyway, all's well that ends well, as they say. So well done. A couple of things on Arleon Stadium. The ground surface was horrible. I think we discussed that. Obviously an issue with the ground there on a brand new stadium is a bit of an issue. But let me tell you one thing I was very happy with. The food.

The food there is honestly amazing. You think when you go to the footy, you get a can of coconut and a meat pie and everyone's sort of pretty happy. That food there last night was unbelievable. Why did you have it? It's gourmet, isn't it? Yeah. You know what I was happy with? The chips. The chips had the right amount of chicken salt on them. They were beautiful. And most importantly, we had a discussion, a topic earlier this year about lamingtons. That was my topic. I said,

I said, they've got no cream in them anymore. Did you try the popcorn chicken? No, actually, I saw that there. I actually didn't have it. I didn't have it, but it was there. I'll try that next time. You know what else goes enormous? The cheeseburger spring rolls. All of it was beautiful. I was just so impressed with the chips and the lamingtons. Well, Gal, we've got a few things to discuss with you throughout the afternoon as well. Well, I've got some information that I'll be sharing later this afternoon. Is it exclusive? Well, it involves a function that I hosted yesterday with Gal and with Josh.

And I've never hosted a function where it says on the rundown what time the paid guest needs to leave the function. I had to get my kids. And this bloke's getting stuck in me. Louisville, you're not keeping to time. You're not keeping to time. I said, listen, we will make up time in the mains and you'll be gone when you need to go. Did we not just discuss dogs and how important they are? Well, let me tell you what's more important than dogs. Kids. I had to pick up my kids from school. Did you leave on time? No, I was late. No, you didn't.

You did leave on time. No, I never got home until like 3.30. My kids were waiting on the side of the road. The lollipop man had to mind them for a little while. It was Aussie and all sorts. You gave your $5,000 cash with you? No, I didn't have anything. I didn't get cash. I never got paid. That's not funny because you told me in the text. No.

That's all I want. Want me to look that up? I'll just have a look. Now, like you, Gal, I was a bit concerned by Boyd's post on social media last night because I got home and I didn't realise that Boyd's dog, his little beautiful puppy dog, had gone missing. But thankfully, crisis has been averted. Puppy dog has been found. So, Boyd, as I say good afternoon to you, what's happened with the little fella? Oh, it's been stressful, mate. These last 12 hours have been a mare. I got home from the footy.

My missus went out for dinner, so we got home at about a similar time at 10.30 and...

Dog's always at the back door, can't wait to get in. And yeah, we didn't see him there. Went outside, the back gate was shut and locked and he just was nowhere to be seen. And just panic station straight away in the car, called police. I put a post up on social media and just quietly, how good is the power of social media? Like it can be bad in some terms, but for that, that just, that helped me out so much. And it made me realise that,

how you know there's some good people out there and people that just want to help so I want to say thank you to everyone who shared the post and wanted and helped to get my little puppy back I haven't got kids so as gal know if you've got a dog he's me he's me kid he's me everything you have been with him for eight years now so it was a stressful 12 hours but this morning driving around still looking for him I got a call off um off the vet um on old South Head Road there and

Yeah, went and picked him up and still trying to put the pieces together of how he sort of disappeared. But I don't really care at the moment. I'm just glad to have him back. He's safe. He's happy. He's at home now and...

Yeah, it was a crazy 12 hours, mate. Good on you, mate. Well, you got him home. That's the main thing. And the whole rugby league fraternity was sharing your post. Yeah, I know. I mean, I saw all these different people sharing it. So if they've helped you get him back, that is absolutely sensational. Now, boys, on the footy, thankfully Nathan Cleary's going to be okay. I think we all took a big deep breath on Thursday night when he went down with that shoulder injury. The Storm got the points, though, 24-22. Manly going along great guns.

And Big Man, the Roosters last night beat Parramatta 38 points to 14. Are you getting a bit of a sense now on some of the real contenders for the premiership? Or do you think he might go all the way? I think it's difficult. I think it's probably muddied the waters a little bit. I mean, I think most people would have thought Penrith were favoured, given the fact that it looks like Cleary's going to be out until the semifinals. You know, it's not going to be easy for them. I've never been a massive fan of Melbourne. I just thought they had too many fringe first-grade players in their side.

And, you know, I think I said at the start of the year, I actually backed the Roosters to win the comp. I think on paper, Roosters have got the best side in the competition, but I still don't think they're firing on all cylinders. And I don't think they have many times this year, if at all. I think out of all the sides...

that are around the mark, I think the Roosters are the most likely. I think there's more improvement in the Roosters than any of the others. I mean, you were involved with them, mate. Yeah. You know, you told me, do you reckon they fight at 100% this year? No, not really, mate. It's, yeah, they're sort of primed to go as well. You know, most of the games they've put 40 on them, but we've leaked a few tries there and we haven't really...

the game like we wanted to, but there's still a few more games to get it right before finals. So you don't play anyone within the top four, I don't think. Which, you know, at the start of the season, if you're looking at the teams you play, like you wouldn't have picked Seahouse, Parramatta, not being in the top four, sorry, the top eight. So that's, you know, it is what it is. You've got to play everyone. Everyone's a good team, but...

The Roosters, I'm with the big man. They got such a good roster. On their day, if they put it together, they can beat anyone, no doubt about it. But they let in some soft tries. That last try last night was just a lack of concentration by a few very important players where a hooker sneaks straight through the middle. That's a poor try. I wonder whether they believe enough. When you think about motivation, they've got so much motivation with some of their big guns leaving, some of their big names leaving. They won't have the same team next year.

But you've got to have a real belief within yourself that you can win the premiership. I've got no doubt Penrith believe they can. Melbourne believe they can. I hear a lot coming out of the dogs about belief. But I just wonder whether the Roosters really believe it as a squad. And I'm sure they all say they do. You'd think they would. There's some big names there, mate. What makes me question is every time they've played one of these big two teams, the last 20 times they've won one game.

They've won one game against the two big guns. I'm talking about Penrith and Melbourne. They've won one out of 20, which for a team of that quality is probably an issue for me. But again, I think going forward, if they can find that belief and find that defensive resolve, I've got no doubt they can win the comp also. Just on the Roosters, Daryl and Paul, I won't ask Boyd, but James Tedesco missing state of origin. Is that a blessing in disguise for the Roosters because he's fresh? He's not...

Sort of taxed from a really arduous origin campaign? Mate, you know what? It's so hard to be critical of James Tedesco at any stage of his career. But there was a bit of criticism last year. And he would have...

He would have been dirty on that, I think. But I think it was warranted, some of the criticism. But I think this year he's been outstanding. He'll be right up the top of the LEMs, all that sort of stuff. There's no doubt about that. He's a super player and has been for a decade. And I think you're right. I think missing state of origin...

It's probably left him a little fresher than what he may have been. Not that he showed signs of not being fresh last year, but I think it's probably going to end up being, well, not a masterstroke, but it might be a blessing for the Roosters. Do you get that sense of training, boy, that Teddy's fresh as your skipper and ready to, you know, give this competition a real shake given he can dedicate his time to the Chooks? Yeah, definitely. I think I've seen that the first day he come in for preseason this year. Big man touched on it just before last year, the criticism that,

He's coming with a steely mentality all year. He understands the position that we're in at the moment. He's the captain of the club.

and he knows what sort of players are leaving. So I think he understands the normality of this season, and he's putting absolutely everything he has into this year, and I think you can see it in the way he's playing. All right, fantastic, fellas. Our number 131873. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873873. And speaking of the Roosters, one bloke who's had probably the season of his life is Angus Crichton, and he'll be joining us tomorrow.

After the break. On the way to the break, there's nothing more exciting than going to the footy with minutes to go. The players are switched on. There's a huddle in the locker room. The coach gives one last pep talk as the players get their game faces on. They then run onto the field to the roar and excitement of the crowd. That's everything you'll experience when you get to a game on time. Here's the play with Uber Reserve. You can reserve an Uber ride in advance from 30 minutes up to 90 days. That's your ride to and from again this weekend, helping make sure you don't miss any updates.

of the footy action. Just head into the Uber app, conditions apply, reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired.

Mark Levy, Boyd, Cordner, Darrell, Roman, Paul Gallen, the Continuous Call team. On this Saturday, Gavin at Earlwood says, Hi Mark and boys, early on stadium you needed your snorkel gear. That was terribly bad draining the field like wet and wild. Yeah, it was like water skiing last night and watching the players in the warm-up, it was hilarious. Boyd, I mean, they're out there...

warming up in puddles and getting themselves saturated and everything else just to get themselves acclimatized for the the next 80 minutes ahead i guess you'd say yeah it was um it was funny because when we all come to the stadium when we're inside in the sheds you can't see what's going on outside and it was actually a really good night wasn't that cold the ground was dry and then all of a sudden we're like oh we have to do the warm-up inside we're like what's going on

So, mate, it's torrential out there, lightning everywhere, and we're like, oh, okay, sweet. And they're like, oh, well, you can finish the warm-up outside. We went out, and it was soaked. Like, I was running the blue shirt, and...

I had puddles going up in my shins and it was crazy. It reminded me of that, can you remember the Anzac Day match in 2016? They called it off. Yeah, it was dead set like that. So it blew me away to see how much rain we got in. We actually showed footage of the State of Origin game at the SCG where Crusher Clear went into the dropout and he missed the ball because it didn't bounce up.

It was like that. It was unbelievable. Pretty crazy. Well, the Roosters got the points in the end, 38 points to 14 over Parramatta, so they maintained third spot on the ladder after the 24-point victory. And what about the season this bloke's had? Angus Crichton, he was phenomenal for the Blues, and he's been one of the real standout performers for the Roosters, and I'm pleased to say he's on the line. G'day, Angus.

Hey, g'day, boys. Thanks for having me on. Mate, welcome to the show and congratulations on your form this year. You've just been phenomenal, like I said. Just on the conditions, though, you needed a snorkel and some flippers last night. Gee, it was wet.

Yeah, like Boydo was saying, it was weird because when we got in there, it was pretty dry and it was actually quite a nice day, nice arbor, bit of sun in the morning down the beach and then next thing you know, you're underwater. Sort of slipping around everywhere and yeah, mate, it was a bit of a slogfest out there but yeah, good to get the win. Mate, your form has gone to a new level and I've always been a fan of what you've done but I suppose...

From me being a Queenslander, the second State of Origin game this year, I was a bit amazed how well you went. And then from that moment onwards, you've done it again. Third State of Origin and your form for the Roosters is impeccable. Congratulations. Mate, you've always been a good player. I know that. But I think this year you have gone to a new level. Yeah, cheers, man. I appreciate it. I think... Yeah, I guess...

After last season, I sort of had a bit of a point to prove and yeah, you sort of don't want to use external stuff to, I guess, ignite a fire in you or whatnot. But I guess having a lot of people talking a lot of rubbish and writing me off and whatnot, I think,

might have also played a part. So they've just got to keep on rolling, keep on going. And I think the team as well is really playing really well together and different guys are maturing and different guys that are having really, really good seasons.

across the field, which makes my job easier and makes me look better as well. Angus, I want to ask you a question about the role that Boyd Corden has played in sort of mentoring you because without wanting to sort of embarrass him, he's sitting alongside me here. What I said throughout the Origin Series about you is it shows the mark of somebody to not only rebuild themselves as a human being, given what you went through last year, but

But to put yourself in the mix to return to first grade, to then put yourself in the mix to earn a call-up for New South Wales, to be playing some of your best football, that's something you should be enormously proud of. And I know you had a few people supporting you along the way. Can you tell us what role Boyd played in sort of helping you get through that period and getting to the point that you've reached today? Yeah.

Yeah, well, honestly, mate, I've obviously always admired Boydo. And coming from South, when we'd go up against each other, it was always a tough game. And there's some players in the league that when you come up against them, they'll talk a bit of shit and they'll try and have a niggle. But there was none of that ever with Boydo. It was always just straight up and down business. And I always just sort of respected the way he played. And then, obviously, he was a big part of me

me wanting to come over here to sort of learn off him and try and emulate him. He was that sort of premium, premium back rower in the comp and that's what I was aspiring to be. And yeah, and then obviously got to know him quite well and great mates and played a fair few games together when, before his sort of stuff sort of happened and then,

yeah, I was sort of that next man up when he went down and sort of stepped into that 11 jersey on the left there for the Roosters which he'd locked down for so long and played so many big games in and yeah, something that I didn't take lightly because the respect I got for the guy, the admiration I got for the guy and then yeah, just the kind of person that he is and the player that he was and

Yeah, I think for me every single time I put that 11 jersey for the Roosters on, I carry that weight of the work that Boydo put into that jersey and I don't want to let him or the jersey down. That must make you feel pretty good, Boydo, to hear Inga say that. Yeah, mate, it's great because we've been close mates ever since he's come over and I've seen how hard he works. I've always admired him also from what he'd done as a rookie coming into the...

Coming into the game, but yeah, just getting to know him from the time we've won a comp together, we've played Origins together and then just to be really good mates. But what I want to say about Gus is it's throughout the whole, you know, past however many months that, you know, he was out of the game or went away from it.

Just to see firsthand how hard he's worked to get back to where he is, it's so good to see because it's been no one else. He can credit everyone else, but he's had to put in that work. No one else, everyone.

Like, might have played a little part in that, but for him to get to where he is now, the work that I've seen him put in, no one else, like, he'd done it himself. It was... It's so good to see... And you're a bit emotional. Yeah, because I love him, you know. He's...

He's a good mate, and I know how hard he works. So, yeah. Good on you. Do you love him more than the dog you nearly lost? No. He was texting me all night, actually. He couldn't. I think he loves Zorro more than his family. Yeah.

He was saying, he goes, I hope it wasn't someone that stoned because if you find out who it was, then we might not see you for a while. You and Angus after it. Yeah. It'll be like that bloke had a take in or John Wick, mate. I don't know.

I will find you. I will kill you. Angus, what about going back to the Roosters? You guys obviously, yeah, you've got a great side. We know that. You've got a number of guys leaving, guys like Kiri, Manu, Swali, JWH, two Panuas on his way out the door. Have you spoke about the opportunity you guys have to win a premiership this year and send them guys out the way they should? To be honest, mate, we haven't spoke about that as such, but we've definitely touched on the fact that we've got

What now? Potentially six games left with those guys. Three round games left in finals. So think about it, mate. It's not much time at all. And it's at this time of year where you've got to make sure you're nailing everything. So we're sort of trying to zero our focus in and we're training hard. We're doing everything off the field to make sure that we can perform on it and

And, yeah, it's a big... We're all such a tight group here. Even the guys that are leaving, we want to send them out as winners and we want to send them out the way they deserve to go. And all those guys have put so much into the jersey and it'd be nice to...

it'd be nice to send them out that way but we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves because we all know that a lot can change in a week and we've just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other and locking up those performances and keep building. Well, another good one last night. 38-14 over Parramatta. Keep up the good work.

Good work, Angus. We really mean that. And you should be enormously proud of what you've been able to do this year, not only at representative level, but for the Roosters as well. And I think the entire game of rugby league is just delighted to see you playing great football and you with a smile on your face. So keep it up, mate. Lovely to catch up.

Thanks, legend. See you. Good on you, mate. Angus Crichton from the Sydney Roosters. And what a story it is and what a career he's had and what a year he's having for the Sydney Roosters. 38-14, they maintain third spot on the ladder. Wonderful to have you with us. That's the serious first half hour out of the way, so we'll get back to having some fun. And look, I've got an issue I'd like to raise, and it comes off the back of last night's game in the wet and the mud, Darrell, Gal and Boyd. It involves Dom Young and the dreadlocks.

And I think Dom looks fantastic with dreadlocks. He's a big brute. I'm not going to argue with him. But I'm worried about...

the cleanliness of the dreadlocks after a game like that played in the mud and the water and everything else. Now, I stupidly said last night in the call, he needs an early shower to go and wash his dreadlocks. And someone pointed out that if you wash dreadlocks, they end up like normal hair. So what would he do with the dreadlocks after last night? I've heard the same, but I think that's like to make them. I think once you've made the dreadlocks,

No, you know what? He probably wouldn't have washed it. He can't. Yeah, he probably just would have put water through it. So has he gone down to the cafe this morning sitting there for a coffee and some breakfast with mud and grime all through his dreadlocks? No, the water would have washed the mud out. You sure? Yeah, I reckon. Not so sure. There'd be product you'd put in there. Yeah, there would be some sort of product there because you would have to clean it a little bit. So hold on. What?

When he finished last night, were you in the dressing set? Does he go and take the dreadlocks out? I don't know. No. Are you a fool? Dreadlocks are your hair. No, but they're all, aren't they sort of wound together or something? How do they become dreadlocky? I think they put like wax and scrubber together. Unwax them. He doesn't want to unwax them. He wants the dreadlocks. Well, stop.

whinging about cleaning your hair. I'm not whinging about it at all. He's asking the question. I'm simply asking what you would do with dreadlocks. I agree with Boyd. I reckon there'd be some sort of, not shampoo as such, but something he'd put through it to wash his scalp. I don't know what his relationship status is, but put it this way, I think he might be going well. That was going to be my next question to Boyd. Plus he's got that English. I can imagine him with that accent, those dreadlocks, the height, the

the body that we have seen also, he would be doing pretty well in the eastern suburbs. Is there any sort of rumours around this? Yeah, I think he goes pretty well there, Gow. So he's not... But he's undercover. He's single, but he's undercover. He doesn't give too much away, Domi. I saw him last night come off the field and I heard him talk post-game on nine.

He's about six foot four. Yes. And he's even got a nice English accent. I find some English accents. Excuse me? I find some English accents like, shut up. Just be quiet. Just some men and women. How dare you? What do you mean? What's wrong with an English accent? No, no.

A lot of them I don't mind. Some of them I find quite annoying. Herbie Farnwood. No, he's all right. He's more Aussie than English. But his last night was actually, he had a nice tone of voice. The way he spoke was nice. And I thought, God, this bloke must do well. He must do real well. That's the reason why I'm concerned for him. Say, for instance, you know, he's played Friday night. He gets the weekend off.

He goes out tonight and he's standing on a dance floor having a little boogie. Someone comes up and all you can smell is all the dirt and grime and mud and everything else from last night. So I don't know if anybody's out there that has a son with dreadlocks or you've had dreadlocks yourself. What do you do? What is the cleanliness routine with dreadlocks or is it just let them go? Can I just backtrack a bit? To get dreadlocks, what do you have to do?

just keep rubbing them together, don't you? Rub hair together. You can't rub it together. It'd be hard to rub it. How do you rub it at the back of your head? Do you get someone to rub it for you? No, you get someone to do it properly. So is there actually a shop where you can go and say, look, can you get me some dreadlocks? I reckon there would be. A dreadlock shop. I reckon there would be, yeah. Well, not a dreadlock shop, but a hairdresser. I don't think so. You've got to do it yourself. There'd be a hairdresser.

There'd be hairdressers or someone that would know how to do it and get it done. This looks like a big knot. I'm going to make a comment here. I don't think hairdressers would be a fan of dreadlocks. I don't know many hairdressers that would provide you with dreadlocks. Would they touch them? No, I don't think they would. Because they look... They look disgusting. Scungy, don't they? They look disgusting. To be fair on him, they look good. I've got a bit of a man crushing him at the moment. I can tell. You ever heard of him before this year?

Not before the... I should. I actually tipped the Newcastle Knights not to make the eight because he was in the team anyway. That's how much I think of him. Look, I've got to get to a break, but look, we've got the $200 meat tray voucher up for grabs from Stapleton's Quality Meats at Carrilla in Sylvania today. So if you understand dreadlocks or you know how you can get dreadlocks and what you do to keep them clean, the number to ring 131873. If you ring through and get to air this afternoon, you

automatically go into the drawer for the meat tray 131873 the number you can email us via the websites and you can text us as well 0460 873 873 we are back to talk dreadlocks on the continuous call time

131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. There's quite a few people commenting on dreadlocks. Fellas, the hairdressers in Nimbin only do hair drocks. Yeah, good point. Hair dreadlocks. Hair drocks. Soul Glow, fellas, does wonders for the hair.

Solglobe. Solglobe, what's that? Just ask Dallin Wateni-Zelezniak from Ben. Does he sell that? That must be a product. He sells something, doesn't he, Dallin? Yeah. Has he got sunglasses or is it... Watches. Watches, is it? Yeah, watches. They're dirty things. They're putrids, says one of our listeners. You use a gentle circular motion, work the shampoo into your scalp and let it naturally flow through your dreads. Be patient.

and thorough, covering all areas of your scalp. That one from Michael. Have we got anyone telling us how you get them in the first place? Well, I don't know. 131873 is the number. Wet down your locks until all of your hair is wet. Right. Then pour a bit of shampoo into your hand and work it to the scalp of the hair. The first shampoo may not give you enough lather, but try... This is sounding quite sensual. That's what I normally do, to be honest, when I'm washing my hair. LAUGHTER

There's not much difference. That's what you do. You wet your hair, then you get to shampoo and rub it in. We want to know how you make them. Is that what we want? Exactly. Yeah, I want to know how they get made. All right, you know what I'll do? How do you make? Google. How do you make? There'll be some sort of wax or something put in there, I reckon. Just stick it all together. And I reckon over time, it'll just stick together. They just look disgusting. Dreadlocks are formed by matting hair strands together, usually through twisting or braiding. Some people also use a process called neglect braiding.

Deformed dreadlocks where they stop brushing or combing their hair and allow it to knot on its own. So you virtually just leave it alone and don't do anything to it. So they're dirty. Disgusting. Bird's nest. Bird's nest. Anyway, the Robertson brothers put together a little song about dreadlocks a number of years ago. There you are. Thank you, Robertson brothers. 131873, the number. Siv's at Rouse Hill. Hello, Siv.

Yes, g'day, boys. Look, I want to respond to Mr Gallen's comment about English accents. I have to tell you, the royal accent is the one I find utterly annoying, but there are some other accents that I do like. The Cockney one that's very famous. Hello, Geezer. Yes, all that. Yes, and of course, people from Manchester and Newcastle

Newcastle, but I'm telling you, if you really need sleep and you're having trouble sleeping, you should use the voice of Andy Murray. He's better than chamomile tea and he's better than all those sleeping tablets. And you'll be out like a light. Where do you reckon Dom Young's from? Where's his accent? Because I quite like his one.

Dom Young. That's a good question. I'm not sure where it is from. I know the Burgess Brothers. That's what I was going to mention to you. The Burgess Brothers have really good accents. No, I don't find that one good, actually. They're the ones I don't find nice. Dom Young is from Dewsbury in the UK. Is that near London? Oh, Dom Young.

Are you from London? I like that one. Where's that line? That's in the movies, isn't it? You must be from London. You're from London town, baby. What's that from? Simpsons. Simpsons, is it? I've got no idea. I just heard that before. You must be from London. Dewsbury in between Huddersfield and Leeds. So if you know where that is. And then when it comes to London. Where's London? London South. Yeah, London's down in the south. So it's in the northern part of London.

the United or Great Britain anyway. So there you are. That answer your question, Gail? I didn't have a question. I did say it. You asked me where Dewsbury is, so I Googled it. I didn't ask where Dewsbury was. I asked where Dom Young was from. In other words, where's Dewsbury? Thanks.

ASTsports.com.au. And we'll see you in Vegas for NRL season launch 2025. All.com updates the NRLW scores for us. And it's the Cowboys 10 leading the Titans 4. And the second half underway, 10-4 the score. Cowboys leading Titans NRLW there. St. George of Le Warra, plenty of news this week. A couple of listeners asking, boys, what were your thoughts on Kyle Flanagan's four-week suspension?

and the signing of Val Holmes. Gal, you obviously know a fair bit about Val. Is it a good signing for the Dragons? Yeah, I think so. I think he's on big money up there at the Cowboys. I think he might have had a year or two to go on his contract. So Shane Fling is very good at putting a roster together as I've seen first-hand at the Sharks. And I think...

And, you know, Valentine Holmes on a million dollars a year probably would have had to pay maybe $600 or $700 of that because, you know, the Cowboys would have to foot the rest of the bill. So it's not a bad signing for the St. George side. So, yeah, I think it's only a positive for him and the team. On Kyle, I thought four weeks was a little bit harsh, to be honest. I always knew he was going to get suspended. You don't get referred straight to the judiciary.

and not get suspended. I thought Stephen Crichton contributed to it. Obviously, he did. There was a little nibble there at some stage. So, I thought two, maybe three weeks. We saw Jack White get three weeks. I thought three weeks would be probably the most he'd get. So, four for me is a little bit extreme, but

You know, what happens, happens. We'll move on. Darryl, you love Val Holmes. Him going to the Dragons. Good signing for him. I think it's a great signing. I think he's a quality player and has been for a long time. Do we know how long he had at the Cowboys? Because Flannoy's very good at that. He's very good at picking blokes up from other clubs that clubs have to get rid of. So if he's at $1 million a year, Flannoy might be paying $600 or $700 for him, which is a good sign. I agree. I wonder how many years...

Cowboys have to pay for him for it. There's a story in today's paper by Peter Bedell and Michael Karianas. Val Holmes has spoken about the heartbreak of not being able to finish his career in North Queensland after facing a monster $500,000 pay cut to remain at the Cowboys. The Queensland origin star admits he never saw his impending departure coming and was hoping to finish his career in Townsville before proposed extension talks collapsed.

The Telegraph can reveal Holmes faced having his $1 million plus salary cut in half to extend his tenure at the Cowboys for the 2026 season, opening the door for the Dragons to strike. So he must have been contracted just for next year. So the Cowboys will be paying for next year for him and then obviously the Dragons from then on. But I totally agree. I think Vowell would not have seen this coming. No one really saw it coming, to be honest. So,

I think he would be a little bit heartbroken by it, but it's a professional sport we play at the moment and that's what happens sometimes. Alright, well there you are, Dragons fans. And look, as far as the head coach goes, Shane Flanagan, yes he's a colleague of ours on the Continuous Call team and a mate as well, but you look at the way in which he's got the club going and a few people were saying earlier in the year he called himself a recruitment coach, but

Hasn't signed any players. Well, he's starting to get a few over the line. The main one being Val Holmes this week. Good signing for St. George, Illawarra. And obviously he'll return to play under Shane Flanagan. So we'll wait and see how they go next year. But obviously their main focus is finishing in the top eight and playing some finals footy this year. Continuous call team. We take a break and come back with more.

So three games this afternoon as far as the NRLW goes. Cowboys up 10-4 over the Titans for all.com midway through the second half and in the NRL this afternoon in Bundaberg the Bulldogs take on the Dolphins 6-8 so plenty at stake in that one. That's followed by the game at 5.30 that Matt

Thompson is back to call with the continuous call team, the Cowboys and the Raiders. Obviously, the Green Machine trying to force their way into the top eight. The Cowboys trying to cement a spot in the top eight. And then at 7.35 tonight, Jamie Soward will be on deck for the West Tigers and the South Sydney Rabbitohs. And as we've reported, no Latrell Mitchell for the remainder of the year for the Bunnies. A foot injury will keep him sidelined and out of action. But he is also dealing with that breach notice that came from the NRL over that photo that was leaked to the media earlier this week.

We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the Continuous Call team on a Saturday. I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired. Thankfully, I discovered if I stayed, I could set up a regular income, take money out when I wanted, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement.

You're listening to The Continuous Call Team right across Australia. Welcome back next year at The Continuous Call Team as we do it from the interactive studio, the David Morrow Interactive Studio, and the great man will be with us in spirit, of course, having a laugh, and I reckon a few things that have been said so far he'll be saying, No! Anyway, we're back underway, 10-all, Cowboys and Titans. Second half is well and truly underway. There's only 10 minutes left.

In that second half, 10 all Cowboys, Titans for all.com. And we've got an NRL game kicking off in the next hour with the Bulldogs up against the Dolphins. The Doggies 1-17 for Coles, where you can win with the Winter of Sports giveaway. Lipoi Hopoi is the 18th man. Josh Addo-Karr playing his 50th game for the Bulldogs. While for the Dolphins, Ray Stone will start in the front row. Tevita Pangai Jr. to the bench. Trey Fuller is the 18th man. And Cody Nicorima playing his 200th.

NRL game and the games played so far in the National Rugby League last night Roosters beat Parramatta 38-14 if you missed our chat with Angus Crichton we'll put that up on the website for you the Sea Eagles beat the Warriors 24-10 and the Melbourne Storm over the Panthers 24-22 now just on the injuries and reports out of last night for Brydon's lawyers protecting your future

When winning is all that matters, you need brides and lawyers on your side. There were five charges. Wirramu Gregg is the only one facing a suspension for that careless high tackle on Connor Watson, who ended up failing his HIA. So Wirramu facing two matches on the sideline with an early guilty plea. Clint Gutherson has copped a fine for dangerous contact on James Tedesco. Gee, I reckon he came very close to being put in the bin last night, giving his antics to the wards of the referee.

Victor Radley, dangerous contact, $1,800 fine for an issue and dangerous contact on Sean Lane. Chanel Harris-Tavita from the Warriors, crusher tackle, $3,000 fine. And from the Sea Eagles, Reuben Garrick, dangerous contact on Charles Nichol.

Klukstar, an $1,800 fine. And the injuries out of last night, thanks to DP, the iconic brand you know and trust, feel at work. Gordon Chen-Kum Tong left the field early in the second half of the shoulder injury. Tommy Talao went off midway through the second half with a pec injury. Anthony Seabold confirming after the match both don't appear to be serious. While for the Roosters, Connor Watson failed his HIA. Dom Young left the field late in the match. He finished with ice on his hamstring on the bench.

Coach Trent Robinson said he was taken off as a precaution and could have kept playing. So there you are. We're up to date with all of the information as we continue on. And the other talking point out of last night was that playing surface at Allianz Stadium. And this is what Clint Gutherson had to say at full time. Yeah, it was probably one of the worst fields I played on for a while, especially with the grounds these days. They go pretty quick and I didn't think it rained that much, but...

It was hard to play him, but there's no excuse for still letting some of those tries in. We didn't know it was that bad until we got out there and your feet were fully on the water, so...

I don't know what they can do about it. Probably not much. Anyway, that's what Clint Gafferson said about it last night. 131873 is our number. You can email us as well, 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. Now, Boydie, you've got something you'd like to raise with the Continuous Call team, and it's off the back of your issue last night with the puppy dog. What's your topic, mate? Yeah, so just off the last 12 hours that I've had, I remember sitting there in the car driving around,

Looking for my dog and I said to myself, I was prepared to do absolutely anything to get him back. So I haven't had a wink of sleep and I've got out of it all right. Like, I've got my dog back. But it got me thinking, our listeners out there, what lengths have...

Our listeners, I want to hear some – there's got to be some good stories about people going to extremes to get their pets back. Rewards and Facebook notices. There's got to be some great stories out there. What about the way they look after him? I said before, I've got kids now. I've got a big fat dog at home. I don't really – I do like him, don't be honest, right?

But where does he rank with your kids? Oh, he's the lowest here. He's at it a little. But I mean... Well, Charlie's giving you a bit of attitude lately. Oh, Charlie has. I got home last night and I saw Boydie's post. And I was like, I was really fretting for him because I remember I had a dog, Billy, I had for 13 years of Staffie. And he was my kid. He was like my best mate. He slept with me and everything. Like he was my best mate, done everything with him. And I was fretting for Boydie because I know how he must have felt. And that's how I'd feel about my kids. So I thought, God...

Thank God you got him back, honestly. Thank God you got him back. But then you think about some people and pets and how much lengths they go. Just look after them. Well, first of all, if they lost them, what they would do. But the way some people look after their pets these days is insane. Like they get – you know, some dogs have chefs.

What? No. Yes. Who? Rich people have chefs for their dogs. They do. I'm telling you. Really? Yep. I like the people you see walking around and they've got the little dog boots on. Yeah, dog boots. They carry them in bags sometimes. That's ridiculous. You know my dog, how big and fat he is. My daughter every night puts a blanket on him. God.

That's how much he's looked after this dog. I get home, he's on... You know my spot in the lounge where I sit. I've got one spot I sit. That's my spot in the lounge. Why is that? Because it's mine. It's my lounge. Do you let anyone sit next to you? Yeah, I let the kids lay next to me in that. But when I'm home, that's my spot. They know it's my spot, right? Right. When I get home and when I'm not home but I walk in the door, who do you reckon's in my spot? The dog. The fat dog.

He's in my spot. Dogs are spoiled. You do love them. You do love them. I do. I do love him. But I can't believe how spoiled my dog is. I'll compare them to other people's. Why do you feed your dog?

These days. Actually, he's on a special diet too. He's on a fish-based diet because he can't eat meat because he's allergic to meat. He gets red. His stomach goes all red and he gets thick and pores. So what sort of fish do you get him? A bit of salmon. I don't know. It's a fish bait. No, they go to a proper dog shop and get proper dog food. My missus cuts it up. So when you say proper dog food, that would still be the cheap crappy stuff. So why don't you go to a fish shop and get him good fish?

Because he doesn't need the bones in that. Well, you don't have to get bones. You can get the bones. It's special dog food. Whatever the dog, it's special dog food. And it costs a fortune. How much does it cost? I don't know what it costs, but I know my missus, I blow up how much money my missus spends on the credit card. And to my missus' credit, she's pretty good. She doesn't go waste money on her own, on herself. So have you ever lost a dog? This is boys' topic, not mine.

No, but I'm asking you. I'm reverting back to Boyd here. You've lost. Did you find him? No, when I was a kid, I do remember this story, actually. It reminded me a little bit of last night. It was a little bit, not emotional, but I really felt sorry for him. I had a Jack Russell, my first dog when I was, I reckon, 10 or 11 years old. And my dad picked me up from footy training. I'll never forget. I got in the car and he said, John, the good news or the bad news?

And I said, oh, I didn't really care. I said, let's go with the good one first. I'll get happy. He goes, well, I love you. I'm like, okay. And I said, what's the bad news? Being pretty happy. He goes, your mother doesn't? Yeah.

You're an idiot. You're an idiot. It was Jack Russell. We named him Jack. Jack's gone. And I was like, and I didn't believe it at first until he told me a couple more times. And I got home and I remember being like, boy, did he run around the house, run in the backyard.

Going into my room and crying, just crying and crying and crying because I'd lost him. It's a part of your family, mate. Yeah, it's a part of our family. I don't know whether I should tell this story, but I will. Please do. My sister had a little, it was like a Jack Russell, but a bit different, right? So I went over to my mother's place when she was living in Sydney and she was looking after the dog. And she said, oh, can you take him for a walk? So I took him down to the netball courts at Rockdale, which is where we were living at the time. And she said, let him off the lead, he'll run around and he'll come back to you.

Anyway. Oh, no, this is going to be... I don't want to hear this story, Levy. Is there a car involved in this? Oh, no, Levy, how dare you? Well, I let him off at the netball courts, but he's decided to bolt back home. And you've got to get across West Botany Street. For those people that know West Botany Street, it's quite a busy roadway.

And then I've sort of run after the dog and then the cars have started stopping and I've had to ring my mum and say, he's been hit by a car. But it was very, very sad. So the pressure that comes with looking after somebody's dog as well is very stressful. So we want to hear from you this afternoon. 131873, the number. Have you lost a pet?

And what lengths have you gone to to try and find the pet? The ones I always love is if a budgerigard goes missing and they put the little signs up on the telegraph poles, as if you've got any hope in hell of finding a budgerigard. Come on. Can you say that word again? Budgerigard. Is that what they are? I don't think there's a D on the end of it. A budgerigard. I think it's a budgerigar.

A budgerigar. I didn't think there was a D on the N. What's that movie? What's that movie where they steal the kid's budgerigar? They give it back to him and he's like, the blind kid? Oh, yeah, it's a budgerigar. What movie is that? He's got a pretty bird. Pretty bird. But the bird's dead. It's a stuffed bird. Oh, you know what that is. Dumb and Dumber. Dumb and Dumber. Yeah.

Pretty bird, pretty bird. It is, it's a budgerigar. It's such a good bird, it doesn't move. Budgerigar, Gary, thank you. I would think birds would find their way back, mate, if they did fly out of a... Not a budgie. Mate, they're just easy prey for all the minor birds and all that sort of thing. The cat would get one of them quick smart. Really? Yeah, all the bigger birds.

We had a rainbow lorikeet that used to hop around the house. It didn't fly. Just hop around and just attack your toes and your ankles. What was his name, Peggy? No, Rambo. Rambo. Rambo was ruthless. Imagine, I was about to say, Rambo and Kevin would not mix. Did you see that? I saw on the news this week, they're making a film out of it, a cartoon out of it. There's a dog and I think it's a...

I don't know what bird it is, but they're thick as thieves up in Queensland. In Queensland, yeah. It's amazing. And I think they're doing a movie or a cartoon on it. Oh, they're really on it. Isn't that good? It's an amazing story how this dog and this bird love each other. It's just, I hope they don't mate. LAUGHTER

It won't be rough, but it'll be twit. All right. We'll take a break. There's plenty of room on the board. 131873, have you lost a pet? What lengths have you gone to to get the pet back? And did you have some success like Boydie did last night in finding his beautiful little puppy dog? 131873, the number. We'll take your calls next on the Continuous Call Time.

You may have heard us on this program speak about the wonderful team at Fat Fish, which is a fish and chip shop at Annandale, and they sometimes send in some potato scallops for us. We obviously pay full freight to support the business, but John and Manny have run Fat Fish for a long, long time, and Manny's just texted me to say, how about my wife, boys? She has a $5,000 Louis Vuitton carry bag.

for the little chihuahua that we've got. Doesn't surprise me. $5,000 movie baton bag. Some of the things, the lengths people go to for pets is insane. All right, well, let's get to some of these callers that are coming through. Mick's in Canberra. G'day, Mick. G'day, mate. How you going? Good, thank you, buddy.

Quick one, Boyd. You can get a little GPS for your dog's collar. I've got one on my border collie. It leaves the jail fence. You get a notification. It tells you where he's been, what he's doing. Yeah. Yeah, do you know what, Mick? I was actually, I was thinking about that when I was driving around, but he's an Aussie bulldog and he struggles to breathe and I can't put a collar around his neck because he hates it.

But I was thinking, but I was like, if he did have a collar, maybe I'd get him back quicker. And then I was thinking about the GPS too. Is he overweight or something? No, he's not. They just, you know, the short-nosed dogs, they just have dramas breathing. Even a, what are those, apple tags? You'd tape one of those apple tags or something, couldn't you? Yeah, just put that, just stick it up. Just tape an apple tag to the collar. That's a good idea. Put it around his leg like the criminals. Have you got one for your dog, Mick?

Yeah, mate, got one from a border collie. As soon as you leave the jail fence, you get a warning. Notification runs on the Wi-Fi at home. How much did you say it was, mate? Oh, really? It's about $80. That's pretty cheap. That's good value. That's a good idea. Good on you, Mick. Thanks for the call, mate. You're into the... In fact, stay there, mate. I'll send you a show bag. You're probably a bit far for the meat voucher. I like your idea, Lee. Stay there.

I like your idea. Yeah, like a prisoner tracking device thing. What are those things called? Around his ankle. Mate, I do it at the moment. I've got a personal trainer on. I've got to do 10,000 steps, so I just put it around the cat's foot. He just runs around, and then I get my 10,000 steps up every day. I'm too smart. When you say you've got a personal trainer, what do you mean, a watch? No, no, no. So the personal trainer has set me a goal of doing 10,000 steps a day. So if I don't get there... Why have you got a personal trainer if you're not...

doing what he said. Well, I've been very busy. You're paying for someone. That's the worst thing ever. You're paying for it. Yeah. So this is like the Apple Watches. You've got too much money. This is like the Apple Watches where you do 10,000 steps a day. You're saying you're sticking your step thing on the dog or cat. I've got a pedometer and he's a white cat and he looks like a criminal with an ankle bracelet. So the cat, you're using the cat's

steps as part of your training regime. Absolutely, and I've got 10,000 steps every day this week, you little beauty. Do you tell? So what does your trainer say? He says, these stats seem you should be a bit smaller than what you are. He actually said to me yesterday, he said, I'm impressed you've got your 10,000 steps every day. I said, you beauty, JG, that's 100% right. Good on you, Mick. Stay there, mate. Matty's at Beaumont Hills. Hello, Matty. G'day, boys. How you going? Good, mate.

Yeah, I was just ringing up. I've got a story for you boys about when I lost my staffie, Harvey. And it was back in the day before social media and stuff. So I had to go around to the local shopping centres and stuff and put little poster signs up, you know what I mean? Try and find him with a phone number. And yeah, yeah. And I was putting one up one day and this little girl with a mum walking past and she's like, mum, that looks like the dog we found. And so just by chance,

I bumped into them at the shop while putting the posters up. And I said, have you had the dog for long? She's like, oh, no, only about three days. I said, that's when he got out. And she said, well, we just bought about 200 grams of Bevan for him and he's just smashed a lot. And I said, well, that's him, the big fella. He loves it. Wow. Was that before dogs had like the tags where you could find out if they belonged to someone? Microchip, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, no, he wasn't my opposite, no, no. Yeah, that's right. Well, what about that? And I'm thinking, and I hope it's not the case with your dog, Boyd, but if someone has pinched him and then realised through all the social media posts that it's Boyd's and he's decided to take it into a bet, you'd hope somebody isn't doing that. It sounds like someone has pinched him because you said he couldn't get out of your backyard, could he? Yeah, the back gate was locked when we got home, so it's a bit, yeah. You got some cameras? Yeah.

I don't have any. Yeah, no, he has got cameras. Well, you've got the cameras. Putting them in this week. Get some cameras. Well, I think your missus is putting them in today, isn't she? Yeah, exactly. Good on you, Matty. 131873 is the number. Roberts in Goulburn. Hey, Rob. Hey, mate, how are you? Good, bud. We're all well, thank you.

That's the way it's the way. I've got a bit of an old story with one of the old men he used to always tell us about. Back in the day, he used to steal a few horses and all that sort of thing, and he had a border collie, and apparently the border collie got kicked by a horse. So Dad took the border collie into Hardin, into the vet, and I won't say the vet's name, but the vet fixed him up, but Dad couldn't pay the bill.

So anyway, a few weeks passed and all that sort of stuff, and Dad was driving home from work, apparently, as the story goes, and seeing the vet working the sheep out in the paddock. So Dad pulls up on the side of the road and whistled the dog, and the dog comes flying over out of the paddock and jumped in the back of the ute, and Dad apparently away he went and thought he had the dog. But no, no, then the vet knocked on the door that night and had to give it back to him. So he ended up losing the dog. It's amazing how those dogs are trained when it comes to, you know,

cattle and all those sorts of things. And that's a good story. Good on you, Rob. Thanks for the call, mate. 131873, the number. Jeanette's at Botany. Hey, Jeanette. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you.

I got a free dash cam from the paper and only had the dog for two days. Came home from work, it had escaped. Apparently it had jumped in someone's car and ended up in Camp C. And then the man was driving along Camp C, don't know what road, and picked up the dog and took it home to ride. And so we put an ad in the paper telling them we'd lost the dog and they had found it to contact us.

And the man's family found me and contacted me. By then, I didn't have a mobile. And we went over to Ryde and paid the man $50 for re-horsing the dog. And you got him back. How good's that? See, these are heartwarming stories. Beautiful stuff. And I'm delighted that Boyd's got his little... What's the little bloke's name? Zorro. Good name. When you say little bloke, how many kilos would he be? Nah, he's 30 kilos. He's a unit. Yeah, he's a... Go, Zorro. Good on you, Zorro. Is it Zorro with a Z or an X?

Z. Z, okay. Shane from Budgham's a funny man. He says, I have a homing pigeon that I've sold on eBay 27 times. Thank you, Shane. One more before we get to a break. Dean at Sylvania. Hello, Dean. Oh, hello. How are you going? Good, thank you, mate.

No, no worries. Yeah, I just thought I'd tell you a quick story about a dog. I have two bull Arabs and they're big boys. But years and years ago, probably 30 years ago, a dog was going to jump off the balcony four stories up at Carringbar. And I said to these kids downstairs, I said, stop looking at it because it's going to jump off. And as soon as I said it, it jumped off and it landed in my arms.

And I kept the dog for 15 years, and his name was Crowley. Why did he jump off the balcony, Don? Because the owner was dead. The lady had been dead for a week and was living its own life. Jeez. And it was out on the balcony. And you ended up looking after him for 15 years, did you? 15.

15 years, my best friend, yeah. Good on you, buddy. Well, that's another heartwarming story in some very tragic circumstances. Good on you, mate. All those coolers in the running for the $200 meat tray voucher from Stapleton Quality Meats. And, hey, given the quality of the meat, you can feed yourself or you can give some to the...

Head to the dog. I saw Staple yesterday, mate. He was at a function I was at. Yeah? He's a good man. He's a good man. Very good man. Now, they're calling it a festival, and it'll be just that. Celebrating a world-first event, the NRL Super League and Women's International Game will explode in a never-before-seen extravaganza. You'll be able to watch four massive games in Las Vegas, Wigan and Warrington, the Canberra Raiders and New Zealand Warriors...

a test match between the Australian Gillaroos and England Lionesses and Penrith up against Cronulla. Book your place now. Call Australian Sports Tours on 1800 026 668 or jump on the website astsports.com.au. The Sharky's going over there, Gal. I spoke to Dino Mesutesta recently and he said that they're extremely excited about the trip to Las Vegas. So the club putting everything in place now to get the

team over to Vegas. Yeah, very excited. I've been to a couple of meetings they've had about what they're doing and the process they're going to take when they go over there. I think they might even go to LA beforehand. I've heard stories. You Roosters done it last year, didn't they? Yeah, I don't know if they'll probably go for a week to Sharkies, but I think they might go there, maybe acclimatise a little bit, do a bit of training there, see some of the facilities and then head off to Vegas. So they're looking forward to it. Big time to Sharkies. It's a great trip. And look, admittedly, we had a bit more fun than others over there.

But for those people that want to join a tour and go over to Las Vegas, it's worth doing if you can afford it. And before we...

talk seriously about it. I know it's tough. Cost of living, I get all of that. But if you've got a spare bit of money and you can afford to go on one of these tours, as somebody who went there, Gale's already described himself as a pioneer, do yourself a favour because it is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. Honestly, for Rugby League to be as big as what it was in Vegas, Las Vegas, America, it was such a good trip. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Everyone was there to have a great time and party. Like, no one was there to...

get anyone in trouble or carry on. It was just such a good time, such a good trip. The footy was outstanding. The players done a great job. The league done a great job. Look, we criticise the league when they do things wrong and when they carry on, but, mate, what they've done over there is absolutely unbelievable. And if you do get the opportunity to go, trust me, it is worth it. It is a great trip. Yep, even Paul Gallant having to come to the rescue of referees from time to time as well without mentioning any names. Speaking of unbelievable...

You're unbelievable. Yes, Piggy, unbelievable. And we'll have to talk to him tomorrow. Daryl, I should let you know, he revealed to me last night off air, and we'll talk more about it with him tomorrow, that Big Willis, his youngest boy, has developed into a shot put champion. Well, mate, I'm proud of Willis because he's...

He hasn't had it easy, you know, being the son of Piggy. And, you know, expectations are high. And Willis is a beautiful kid. I've sent him a couple of personal messages recently. Like he played that day at Coggera last week, I think it was. And he didn't play particularly well. He probably listened to you and what you told him to do. Well, no, what I did, I gave him a pep talk because he played poorly. And I said, you know what? Sometimes you might not be good at league, but you might be good at shop. Yeah.

And look what's happened in a week. In the space of a week, he's become a shot-putting champion. What advice would you give him on the shot put? Because I've heard the advice of Rugby League. Well, the advice I gave to him on shot put is, look, when you get a chance, get it right under your jaw. Right under your jaw. And when you extend...

Give it everything. What did you tell them about the opponents? I don't know about the opponents. When you told them about rugby league, you told them to screw grip them. Take their heads off. They can't run without ice. Well, you can't. I didn't say that. You cannot do that in shot putting. You've got to be...

Absolutely focused on what you've got to do. And I hope he... Well, clearly he was. He's become good at it. And if you're no good at it, throw the shot putter at your dad. Whatever you do, don't drop it on your foot because they hurt. Well, Big Willis has done extremely well. He's finished third in his school tournament, which qualifies him to go through to the next level, the Zone Championships or something. So Piggy apparently has been taking him down to the local athletics arena.

and he's been practising shot put for an hour a day. So we've got a shot put champion in the midst. Piggy was pretty good at it, wasn't he, in his day? I think he told me that he was pretty good at shot putting. See, mate, I don't want to be critical of shot putters, but it's not for me. I was very weak at it. Were you good at shot putting? Actually, yeah, in year 11 and 12, I made it to the...

One school, one zone, the next part. The next part I got absolutely pummeled. It's not exactly a difficult sport. I beg your pardon. I think it is difficult. I was extremely good at it. Thank you. Because I put some weight behind it. Because that's from doing 100 kilogram push-ups. Bench presses. Bench presses. But were you good at shot putting? Right-o, Hercules.

See, I had a bad technique. I didn't like doing it. What do you mean a bad technique? You just throw the shot point. No, you've got to spin around too, mate. You've got to get some momentum. It's not just standing there and pushing it out. You've got to spin around, do a little pirouette at the end. I won my first. My year six was the first one I won. And how old were you then? 20? No. On that note, we've got to take a break. We'll come back with a Rugby League Hall of Famer in Greg Inglis.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Wonderful to have you with us, Mark Levy, Boyd Corden and Daryl Broman and of course Paul Gallen on this Saturday afternoon. Well earlier this week it was announced Greg Inglis would be one of 11 new inductees into the NRL Hall of Fame.

GI made his debut for the Storm in 2005 and became one of the club's big four superstars before moving to South Sydney in 2011, where he finished his career on 263 first grade games when he retired in 2019. Inglis was a mainstay of the Maroon State of Origin side throughout their record-breaking decade of dominance, playing 32 Origins while he also played 39 Test matches,

for the Kangaroos. And I'm pleased to say the Rugby League Hall of Famer and Rugby League legend Greg Inglis is on the line. G'day, G.I.

Hey, boys, how are you? Mate, really, really well. Firstly, congratulations, mate, to be inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame. Just tell us what it means to you and to your family. Oh, look, it's a massive thing, you know. It's one of the highest accolades you can ever get. And, you know, we play the game because we love it. We don't play for the accolades or whatever that comes with it. Well, that's the way I see it anyway. And do you really have to do an introduction about Queensland? Look, you've got Gowling Corker there. Yeah.

Mate, it's great to have a Queenslander on board. G.I., where are you from again? Sorry, I can't remember. That's all right, buddy. Don't keep bringing that up. Come on, girl. That's St. Queensland. Hey, G.I., it's Corkery, mate. I just wanted to say congratulations, mate. It's such a huge achievement being named in the Hall of Fame. You've had an outstanding career, a lot of success. I just want to know, where does this rank, mate, in terms of premierships, origins?

Oh, well, you know, it's a pretty special story about it. You know, it's a bit of a silver lining. I lost my grandmother on a Wednesday prior to it, and I got the call from Graham on a Friday, and my name was one of my biggest supporters. Sorry to hear, mate. Oh, that's all right. You know, it's just one of those things. You know, get old and it happens. But, you know, so it made that extra special for me.

So just having that there in the back of my mind when I got that phone call, yeah, it's quite emotional. G.I. Gow, mate, congratulations. Very, very happy for you. You should be proud of yourself, mate. Mate, back to 2011, you were at the Melbourne Storm. You started at the Melbourne Storm. You had a couple of wonderful years there, obviously. And then you had to move to South Sydney. How did that change you or change your career? What did it do for you?

I think it just brought me more individual confidence, to be honest, Gail. Going from what I knew in Melbourne and bringing that into South Sydney, it was, you know, to be honest, I really didn't want to come to Sydney. I just, you know, it wasn't my taste. But, you know, after a year or so, I found my feet and then having Matt G sort of like brought me back in that confidence and confidence as a player. So...

Look, it was a big move. It was one that I didn't want to, but I'm glad that I did. And then from there, you went on to win the 2014 Premiership and break that big drought for the Bunnies. What did that mean to you?

Yeah, well, it was quite emotional, to be honest, Gal. You know, as you would know, doing it for the Sharkies. It was very... You know, I didn't even go out with the boys afterwards. I was mentally drained. I just went home. Just had my baby boy then too. So, yeah, I just wanted to get home and I left my parents celebrating with the boys. I went home. Gee, I'm interested in your initial move to Melbourne because at that stage, like...

I think it was you, Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith, you all got there about the same time, I think. And you sort of, no one had known who you were or no one really knew much about you, particularly down here in New South Wales. And then you blokes sort of went into that Melbourne side and just became superstars, all of you. It was an amazing time, would have been an amazing time in your life.

Yeah, it was. You know, I think Coop, well, Coop's still coming back and forth because Matty Hoffa was in front of him and Bill and Cam was what he made their debut in 2004 and that was, you know, more consistently in the side. Coop's and I were travelling back and forth with Hoffy as well, Ryan Hoffman. So, yeah, we, well, I just came through that there. Like, I was signed at 14 and, you know, just an agreement scholarship thing to get me through the years and,

Yeah, from that day, I signed an official contract at 17. So, with Melbourne, they sent me up there and turned the wave all high. And, yeah, it was quite a journey. But, you know, to be, like I said, getting that phone call and it coming out, it was, yeah, excitement overload. But it was emotional at the same time. Not just the wave all high, because you played for Brisbane North. And I think, did all you boys come from Brisbane North? I think...

Yeah, we all came through. That was a feeder club. The four of you? Yeah. Yeah, the four of us. And, you know, that's where we used to, I think, for about five, six years. Melbourne Storm was affiliated with North Devils. Joe, of all the wonderful things you did, and you did everything, do you have a moment or something that sticks out as the absolute highlight?

Yeah, I could never go past my debut, to be honest, you know, because I always go back to where it started from for me. And getting that debut jersey handed to me by Craig in Melbourne, you know, getting that there...

It wasn't my best game, bit of mixed lollies, but, you know, they had faith in me, but I could never get past my debut. You know, it was the start of a journey for me. Gee, I've always wanted to ask you this question. How does it make you feel knowing that

You know, when you retired and when you were still playing the game, there were young kids out there trying to play like Greg Inglis, trying to put the big fend on, trying to score the tries, trying to do the Goanna post-try celebration. How did that make you feel as a legend of the game, knowing the kids were aspiring to be you at a junior level?

Oh, it's incredible. Like, I get my mates in that send me photos or videos of them or their young kids playing and trying to do it. And it's just really good to see that we're in a really good position as role models and to do the right thing. And, you know, we get to showcase our talent on the weekends. And, you know, that inspires kids to go out there and play better or, you know, they want to be like, you know, be like Gal, be like Corga, be like me, be like bro. It doesn't, you know...

It's just a simple thing that we do on the weekend, but it has a massive ripple effect throughout. When you look back on your career, where did you enjoy playing? What position did you enjoy playing the most? Because you started off in the centres and you played a lot, well, obviously for Queensland in the centres and Melbourne, and then you sort of went to fullback. Did you have a preference at the end?

Yeah, look, I was a bit of a different, you know, I like playing fullback at club land, but when it comes to representative, I like playing in the front line and centres. Why is that, mate? Why is that? Because I just like the contact. Right.

And plus, there's a bit more less running out four-legged in red. You should have seen G.I. at the fitness sessions in the tower. They were the best. Remember that Sheens used to get us, if we come into camp, we'd have to make us do a four-in-five? Mate, G.I. Mate, if you'd just seen G.I. train at fitness, you'd swear this bloke couldn't play footy.

He was unbelievable. You put him on a football field, he could do anything. Gun. Gun. It was always in the back. It was always in the back. Mate, in the back. Well and truly in the back. I'll tell you who was with you. Hodjo. Justin Hodjo just trotting at the back.

Well, we're doing pre-season before we even go on tour. Well, G, we wanted to get you on today to congratulate you, mate. There's so many people who look up to you and idolise you as a rugby league player and you're a great fella as well. So good on you, mate. Congratulations. Thoroughly well-deserved. The Rugby League Hall of Famer and congratulations on everything you achieved throughout a long and decorated career.

Thanks, boys. Enjoy. Good on you, mate. There he is, Greg Inglis. He was some hell of a player. Oh, he was. I mean, he ignited the game, seriously. And it was around the time the game probably needed a bit of that as well. When him and then Cooper Cronk and the other, Billy Slater, you know, those blokes, Cameron Smith, when they sort of got together, it was brilliant, wasn't it? I mean, they just, and I'm not trying to be, you know,

be critical of the boys with them, but they dragged the rest of those Melbourne boys through with them. They were brilliant. Also, lucky I got to witness it firsthand. Most of my Australian games were with him as my left centre and I got front row seats to see what he could do to an opposition. So it was amazing. There's a few players in our game that can...

Yeah, do whatever they want to an opposition whenever they want, and he was one of them. So big and strong. There was a game we called years and years ago, and I can't remember what night it was. He would have been playing for Melbourne. I think he ran about 80 metres and bumped off about eight players. I can't remember what the game, who they were playing, but he was just such a brute. He was big, fast, strong, tough.

Bit scary, I reckon. Yeah. You know, played against him, but he was just a player. And well-deserved. A Rugby League Hall of Famer. And that'll all be made official in the next couple of weeks. Continuous call team. We take a break. The news at three coming up in 14 minutes. And it's a good time to reserve your Uber ride for tonight's game. With Uber Reserve, you can reserve now. Ride later with Uber Reserve. 131873, that number. Just some sad news coming through in the racing world today. Big Man Paul and Boydie.

Daryl, you and I are big racing fans. Black Caviar, who captivated Australia with 25 wins from her 25 starts, has died a day before her 18th birthday. A statement on behalf of Black Caviar's owners announced her death. Black Caviar retired in 2013 as the winner of 25 races from 25 starts, including 15 Group 1s.

And $7.9 million in prize money. Black Caviar was a champion. Oh, no doubt, Levy. Did you say 15 Group 1s? 15, yep. I mean, that's got to be a record. I don't think any horse in Australia has ever done that. 25 wins from 25 starts. I mean, what a champion it was. And you said, did you say she accumulated 7 million? 7.9. I imagine if she was racing in today's money, she would have accumulated 20 million, I reckon. Yep. But that's...

It's a sad day, mate, because she was a champion racehorse. And she drew in the crowds too, like Winx, you know? Exactly. You know, Winx, I think, lost one race. Might have been two. Might have been two at the start of its career. But Black Caviar just kept winning and winning and winning. And they did everything they could to try and beat 25 in a row. Oh, wow. Unbelievable. Are you shocked by that?

That's good. Well, mate, it's one of the great Australian horses. It's a great story. And it's a, you know, she's a beautiful horse. What a horse. Yeah. And thank you to those people who were messaging about us. It's now been confirmed that Black Caviar has died. 131873, the number. Willow's in for Vegas, by the way. I'm counting the seconds. Thank you, Willow. Is he going on Raimondo's trip or the big march? Which one? I don't know. He's going to have to choose his loyalties here.

You know, he's not on mine. Oh, he's not on yours. So he's with Raimondo. Well, I don't know. Maybe he's just doing it himself. There's a few of them going, mate, so there's a number of them. But yours and Raimondo's number one too, surely? Yeah, I'd say so. In that order? Yeah. Listen, don't agitate the big man, would you? Yeah, I mean...

What am I? Frail. Well, mate, toughen up. I told you, get stuck into me. Let's go. What? Come on. What have you got yourself on? I've got none.

Dino at the Sharks told me that you've been sucking up to him trying to get on the plane. What, on the Sharks? I'd like to go on over. How many do they take over, the Sharks? Do you know? I have no idea. As in players? No, as in a group of players included. Ah.

I reckon... The officials and stuff. Boy, they would know the score. They'd probably take a score of 35 or 6 as far as, like, probably 25 players and they'd probably pay for 10 or 11 staff members. I actually said to Dino that I think you should take Gow, put him in cattle class and make him room with Toby Rudolph. No way! He did laugh at that, so that might happen. Mate, Rudolph will be man of the match better than I'll be, evidently. And he'll be playing. Mate, he's the most special person I've met in 30 years of rugby league, that way. Special in what way? That's a big statement. Trust me, it's true. Hmm.

in every single way. Well, give us an example. What's special? Just his personality. We don't need to go into it. Can I ask you a question? I've got to go to a breakdown, but the reason we don't need to go into it is because his darling mother, Susan, listens to the program and she loves the program. She's extremely proud of her son.

So she should be. And it was wonderful to meet you, Susan, down at Shark Park the last time we were down there. And, of course, we'll be returning there tomorrow for the game between Cronulla and Newcastle. 131873, the number. We're off to a quick break. We'll come back with more. Well, Paul, I'm going on the attack. You're a liar. About what? You're a liar. You're a liar.

Took you a while. You're a filthy liar. What are you talking about? I've just received a message from one of your closest mates who says Gallon telling lies he did not make zone shot put at school. Absolute garbage. Bullcrap, I promise you I didn't. Absolute garbage. You're a liar.

I promise you I'm not lying. I remember, I'll never forget, I won E6. I was good throughout high school. How far did you throw? I can't remember exactly how far I threw, but I remember I did so. I remember even the second part that I won. I was actually at the stadium in... Lies. It's not lying. What would I lie for? Well... It was 20, 30 years ago. Because I believe Hoag's over you. I just named him. Okay, let me tell you this. I'll tell you what Hoag's... Tell you something about Hoag's. I'll tell you what Hoag's was actually good at. And you'll be shocked. I was good at shot. But he was good at javelin. Right.

He actually went in the zone for Javelin, I'm telling you. Did he? He'll text you back in a minute, wrapping himself now. I'm telling you, he actually could throw a Javelin. I don't know how. He's shorter and fatter than I am, and he could throw a Javelin. Well, what's your response to Hoag's in him suggesting you're telling lies and it's absolute garbage? He knows I'm lying. He's trying to stitch me up. That's all he's trying to do. He knows you're lying. We all know you're lying. We got him. We got him.

He knows he's lying. But Hose could throw a javelin. For a short little fat kid, he somehow could throw a javelin. How dare you? I was a short little fat kid. No, no, you aren't short. You're six foot four. When I was a kid, I was a short little fat kid. You're a big fat kid. Hose is a short little fat kid. Even worse, I was a short little fat kid with red hair.

Anyway, there's a story for another day. Hoag's has got red hair too. Has he? Pretty much. Thank you. It's bonus time now at Harvey Norman Electrical. If you're after a new king-size TV, you'll save... Hoag's, he's a liar. Can I say something about Hoag's? No!

the Sunday, Saturday footy quiz coming up in the next hour of the program. So stay listening for your chance to win a $150 Lowe's digital gift card. We'll give you the three clues. Once you've got the answer to the Who Am I? You can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. News is next.

I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired. Thankfully, I discovered if I stayed, I could set up a regular income, take money out when I wanted, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today.

Welcome back. Yeah, great to hear the voice of John Farnham. And there's a write-up about Johnny Farnham today. He's two boys in the paper saying that he can still sing, which is absolutely fantastic. I mean, the health battles that he's gone through. Absolutely. Wouldn't you love to hear it? I mean, I'd imagine that no one's going to put any pressure on him. How's that? You eating that, Gal? You all right, Brad? Come on, boys. Put your headsets back on, please. We're back from the news. But, I mean, it's fantastic. I mean, what he's been through and everything, and, you know...

It's up to him, of course. He's got nothing to prove to anybody. But it'd be lovely to see him get out there and do it. And just hear his voice again. Yeah, exactly. Good on him. He's a great Australian. Nill all the score, by the way. Canterbury and Dolphins planned away at Bundaberg on what looks to be a really nice day up there. So, nill all Canterbury and Dolphins. That's after seven minutes of play in the first half. Later this afternoon, Cowboys up against the Raiders. We'll call that one.

with Matt Thompson, who's back on deck after Olympic duty with Channel 9. And then at 7.35 tonight, the West Tigers and the Rabbitohs. Jamie Soward will be along to broadcast that one. Last night, well, Thursday night, the Storm beat the Panthers 24-22. Manly defeated the Warriors 24 points to 10. And the Roosters over Parramatta by 38 points to 14. It seems like there's been a fair bit of news around the Roosters this week. One of the other...

rugby league rumours that was doing the rounds was linking Mitchell Moses to Bondi and Trent Robinson at his press conference was quick to say that is absolute rubbish. There's nothing there. An outstanding player, you know, we've admired him, tried to sign him a few years ago but there hasn't been one conversation about that so, you know, that's the madness of our reporting and, you know, trying to create some news. There hasn't been one discussion about that so...

Yeah, it gets... It's a little bit frustrating because it creates a noise around... You know, we're in the middle of trying to re-sign Sam and then someone brings up something about someone that you've never even spoken about and it creates noise...

for, you know, three or four days and we're still talking about it now. But that's our world, isn't it? Yeah, that's the world. That's the rugby league rumour mill, unfortunately. So no truth to the rumour that Mitchell Moses will be making his way and move to the Roosters. 131873 is the number to join in. You can email us via the websites. And thank you to all those people

who are texting us as well, 0460 873 873. Clue number one in the Saturday quiz, this for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. I played my 301st NRL game last week for the Raiders. I played my 301st NRL game last week for the Raiders. Don't call yet.

Two more clues to come, then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. Big Man, what have you got for us? Levy, I was lucky enough to be at a function yesterday for a good mate of mine, Peter Wagstaff. I'm not sure if you guys know Waggy, but he's been around the Bulldogs for years and years and years. He's coached, he was a ground manager for a number of years for the NRL and just a good bloke. Anyway, I

I don't know if he's retiring or what he is, but he's 84 and a half, so he's got to be doing something. And they must have had the function for some reason, but I don't know what it was. Are you off your head? What? You went to a function and you don't know what it's for. I hosted it for him. And you didn't know what it was for. And you don't know what it's for. No, not really. So what did you talk about? I just asked him about his wonderful career and stuff like that. But we had an entertainer there who's a good mate of his for a long time, a bloke by the name of Dave Cazalet, who you may or may not have heard of. Dave Cazalet has been on the...

on the circuit, I suppose, or on the scene for about 30-odd years, and he's an Elvis impersonator. And I've got to say, his performance yesterday was magnificent. I love Elvis impersonators. My question to you, Levy, and others, I've seen a few of them over the years. There's a bloke by the name of Dean Bourne who does Roy Orbison. Very good. He's fantastic. And, of course, our friend Peter Byrne, you know, who does Neil Diamond. Mate, I love...

impersonators because they are so close to them and they sound so good. Just wondering whether the punters out there can let us know

who the best they think they've seen of the Aussie boys for impersonators for some of the big boys. Dave Casale yesterday sang about, I think, six songs. He was phenomenal. It was a really, really good day. And he did a great job yesterday. And I think he did it for nothing. I think it was all freebies the whole day for Waggy, who's a great man. But Dave Casale, who I haven't seen for about 10 years, has lost nothing. He was fantastic yesterday. And as I said, I've seen the other boys. They're great as well. But

Just wondering who the punters out there. You've seen impersonators like that? Yeah, a couple of impersonators. I can't remember their names. I'm thinking of what

There's a group that goes around impersonating ABBA. I don't know what they're called, but I vaguely remember being in an RSL club once and they're up on the stage. I thought, geez, they're good. They are good, mate. You've got to be good to last in that field. I will say this about Elvis impersonators. There's some very good ones and there's some very bad ones. I saw some really good ones in Las Vegas. Thank you very much. There's some really good ones in Las Vegas. They're awesome.

What do you mean? But he dressed up like... Walking on the street and seeing the LFC personators when you've had a few drinks, they're the best ever. They might have been female impersonators you were thinking of, look, girl. Well, what... What, girl? He said, well... Jeez, you're well built for a girl. It's happened.

Wrong impersonators, Gal. I'm talking about singers. Does anyone impersonate Elvis? Not Elvis. Elton John? Probably. I'm sure there would be. There's Freddie Mercury impersonators. Oh, yeah. But there's a million Elvis ones. But he looks so... He was so good. And I love the way they dress up and he had the sideburns and the glasses. It was just fantastic. Jeez, he was good. And I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. He only did, I think, six or maybe seven songs. I'll tell you who was really good at...

Origin 3, the Tina Turner. Oh, she's great. She was great. She sung the national anthem, right? Yeah. And I thought it was unbelievable. I actually went over to her after it and I said, well done. That's the way to sing an anthem at a rugby league game. Sure, she'd appreciate it. What did she say? Thanks, Scoop, I'm a singer. She said, thank you very much. I just saw the way she sang it.

Sorry for giving someone a rap. I thought she was unbelievable. I thought she sung really well. What was her name? Hang on, hang on. I have no idea. Tina. Let me just break this down. So a woman who's a professional performer out there and she's been enlisted to be Tina Turner in Tina the Musicer. You've walked over as Paul Gallen, the former Origin player, and you said... Thank you very much. Well done. It was great. She would have looked at you and said...

Yeah, thanks. Can I tell you what? Exactly. I'll just do it on my job. She was actually so excited when she got off the stage. She was absolutely buzzing. And when I said it to her, she was buzzing even more. She probably looked at you and said, who are you? Let's get her on the line and find out then. Ask her. What's her name? Her name's Tina. I went and seen that musical. It was unreal. It's good, is it? Yeah, so good. Anyway, I thought she sung the national anthem brilliantly. All right. 131873, the number. If you've got any other acts that you've seen around the place...

I enjoy them, mate. They're fun. They're a lot of fun, those. Well, that's one thing that, and COVID was really hard for a lot of those people. You know, speaking to Ray's mates and our mates, the Robertson brothers, you know, they really struggled through COVID and it's great to see them back touring again with Simon Brook-McLaughlin, a mate of mine. But

But Dean Bourne, who does Roy Orbison, is fantastic. What are some of the other acts you've seen around the place? Bjorn again. That's the one I was thinking of. The Abarac. Bjorn again from Fluffy down in Canberra. Thank you, Fluffy. It's Fluffy too. I don't know. Fluffy.

I think Galmoy had something to do with fluffy men. You wanted fluffy men to read, remember? Yeah, I did. Well, yeah, what are some of the acts you've seen around the place? Because down at Tarrant Point Bowling Club, they used to put on performances from time to time. They're great. I know they're not perfect and everyone knows that, but they're bloody good. You know, they dress up and it's fantastic. I love it. We need somebody to do like a John Farnham impersonator.

Jeez, there's a catalogue of hits that you could sing. There probably is one. Hasn't Johnny Farnham had, like, 25 comebacks? Yeah. Oh, how dare you. Well, you were asking for another one a moment ago. How dare you. You were asking for another one a moment ago. Another one what? What's wrong with that? Well, I just think it's, you come back once, you come back twice, you come back 26 times, I think it might be one time too many. Oh, how dare you. You are the Grinch. You don't want John Farnham to come back. No, I hope he's all right. I hope he's healthy. I hope he can still sing. Do you want him to come back? Not necessarily, no. Oh.

I'm not fussed on it. You're an idiot. I'm not fussed on it. You're an Australian. No, I'm not an Australian. You're a complete disgrace. Mate, there's only so many times you can say I'm coming back once again and the public are going to keep buying and buying and buying. I think throat cancer has just come back from it. You want to be the Grinch. Well, how much of a punish do you think it is for us to hear Paul Gallen wants to fight Sandy Bear Williams? Sandy Bear Williams wants to fight Paul Gallen. And now you're up John Barnum because he wants to make a return. No one has heard what you just said because it's not happening. It's never been remotely.

close to happening. We've heard about it for 10 years. No, exactly. You haven't heard it for two years because nothing's been happening. Ah, turn it up. Grinch. You're a Grinch. Call me the Grinch, but what you just said was a lie. There's no truth in that whatsoever. Let me just get this on record. You don't want to see John Farnham come back for at least one song given his health battles.

No, listen, put the health butters aside, okay? That's a different situation. I hope he's healthy. I hope he's fit. I hope he's able to sing. But you don't want him to make a comeback? Well, I don't really care, no. Okay, you watch this. You watch this. Ladies and gentlemen of Australia, to prove what an un-Australian goose this bloke is, 131873, would you like

to hear you're the voice, Johnny Farnham, to make a comeback following on from his health battles. No, no, no. Forget the health battles. And give him his best. Get rid of the health battles. And let me put it another way for a minute. Would you go pay your money once again for the tenth time to see someone come back? Absolutely. For the tenth time. Absolutely. I bet you haven't paid once both years. I have so. Lies. Lies. Not like you, Gallop. I took my mother to a John Farnham concert with Tom Jones at the Demarche.

when I was young. Was it a comeback? Yeah, when you were young, was it a comeback tour? Of course it was a comeback. A comeback tour. It was a comeback. That's a lie. It wasn't a comeback tour. It was packed. It was packed. Was it his comeback tour, though? You're a kumquat. Yeah, see, it was his comeback tour. Mate, I pay every time I go, not like you, because you are just a complete leech. LAUGHTER

Let me ask our great mate Boyd. Would you pay your money to go and see John Farnham once more time? 100%. Thank you. Thank you very much. I don't believe any of you should pay. I reckon you'd go see him for free. But the Australian public are not going to listen. There's only so many times you can make a comeback. People are going to give their hard-earned money to watch you come back again. Oh,

Again, you were just lost. What about Just to See, mate? I mean, he's one of the greatest performance players ever produced. I'm not taking any of that away from him. He's gone through a hell of a time. You're now the Grinch. You don't want anyone to pay to go and see. Leave the help bell aside, mate. Leave the help bell aside. You can't leave it aside. I'm talking about the comeback. We've had 8,000 comebacks. How many comebacks can you have? You're a disgrace. You don't want to hear great songs like this. Oh.

You know what? I like that song. What about this one? I'll tell you what, I'm enjoying this now. He's going to pay now. I'm enjoying this now. I'm in. I'm back in. What about this one? You know what I will play? What? You know the Liverpool song, You'll Never Walk Alone? Oh, beautiful. I'm going to play you John Farnham's version of You'll Never Walk Alone. And look, with all due respect to Gerry and the pacemakers,

an incredible an incredible song and Jerry and the pacemakers phenomenal but

But actually, John Redmond, a former colleague of ours, bravo, he actually put me onto this. I want you to listen, Paul, and I want you to tell me if this is one of the great Australian voices of all time. And then I will demand you retract your comment. You're saying the wrong things there. I never once took away from his voice how good he is or how good he was. You're taking away from people going to pay to watch him again. Again, another comeback. That's what I'm saying. There's only so many times you can have a comeback. All right, 131873, the number. It's over to our listeners. But have a listen to this.

Boring. Mate, listen, he was a great singer. You know what you are? You are a grub. Seriously. Grub. How can you say that? That is unbelievable. Listen, his voice is great, but that particular song I don't like. Compared to the voice and all them other ones you played before, they're outstanding, great rock songs. I love them. Actually got a little bit...

Moving in my chair. Not two, but moving in my chair. But that last one, that's just not, that's not, I didn't like that one. I didn't enjoy it. And you don't like John Farnham. No, I do like John Farnham. I just said, how many final, final tours can you have? That's what I'm saying. That's the point I'm trying to make. Mate, you'd boo, you'd boo, poo-poo Santa Claus. No, not Santa. No, he's dirty on Christmas. You've got to pay money to buy his Christmas present.

I'm a bit dirty on Tomo. Why? Tomo walked in here and we gave him two bags of chips and he left the bad one. They're nice, those ones. You like that one? Yeah, nacho cheese. Do you like that one? No. Thank you, mate. I like the red ones.

But you are a piece of work. But again, there's an opportunity for Paul to say thank you, Matt, for thinking of us and bringing in a packet of chips. He finds a negative. But no, he finds a negative because Matt's given him some free chips, but it's not the free chips that he wants. Fair dinkum. We'll take a break and come back with your calls. Narelle, Chris, Carol, stay there for us. And there's a stack of messages coming through as well. 6-0 the score. Canterbury leading the Dolphins.

midway through the first half. 6-0 Canterbury leading Dolphins. We do that for Uber Reserve. Great to have you with us. The continuous call team, 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. And I'm very grateful for Matt Thompson bringing in the nacho cheese chippies. Nacho, nacho, man.

I want to be. I'm not Joe, man. I love him. The Simpsons. Sounds like Gal when he gets home after a big night. It's been a while. Hey, 131873 is the number. Narelle's in Maitland. By the way, just before we get to Narelle, Josh Addo-Kar's made an 80-metre break here and he's been run down by the Hammer.

So he may have lost a bit of that pace we were accustomed to from the Fox, but we know how quick the hammer is. Hammer said tabuai for Doe, who's put him into touch. Great tackle, wasn't it? I mean, the Fox is quick. We know that. But I don't know if he's in the top. I wouldn't think he's in the top eight or nine. He's not up there with your man, Khan Pereira, anyway. No way. Narelle's in Maitland. Hello, Narelle.

Hello, how are you? Very well, thank you. Are you a John Farnham fan, Narelle? Oh, yes, seen a lot of his concerts. Jesus Christ Superstar, you name it, we've seen them at our vineyard. So would you pay money to go and see him another time? Of course I would. Yeah. Yes, yes. So you disagree with that? I just want to... I'll just tell Paul he is a grub. LAUGHTER

Jeez, Narelle, fire up. Thank you, Narelle. Appreciate the call. Carol's at Campbelltown. Hello, Carol. Hello, guys. Hello there.

You're on the air, Carol. I actually attended the last time tour, Gal. So I have a shirt from the last time tour, and I've been to four shows since the last time tour. I was about to say, when was the last time tour? There's been about 8,000 last time tours. And you just said you went to the last time tour and you've been four times since then. My point exactly. Gal, Gal.

Gal, my husband is a Sharks fan. I have three dogs that are Sharky, Peachy and the other one. Oh, gee. Yes. You don't happen to have a pet grub, do you? No.

The tight-knit name is Gals. Oh, you're getting hammered, Gals. Hey, Carol, stay there. I want to send you a continuous call team show bag from our mates at Complete Blinds who do a fantastic job. Chris at Tamworth is next. Hello, Chris.

Hey, boys, how are you going? Good, mate. Farnham fan? Mate, I'd pay money for him to shut up. I don't want to hear him. There we go. I'm on gal's side. I'm on gal's side, mate. What's your last name, Mark? Thank you, Chris. 131873, the number. You can't get rid of him quickly, can you? Hey, hey, hey, who's running the show, me or you? So back in your box. Thank you very much. Farnham Greg would leave you, otherwise you'll be in big trouble. I'm a G-string fan.

But. Chris. I bet there's a but in this. Hang on, are we still talking about the G train? But honestly, he is so wrong on this. Everyone in Australia should take any and every opportunity to see and listen to this amazing voice. Gal, pull your head in on this one. Disgusting and un-Australian. Johnny has been credited to having one of the best live voices in the world waiting your comeback. Maybe you can fight Mike Tyson from Chris. Mate, I never took any of that away from him. I just said, how many times can he...

con the Australians into one last tour. You're just digging. How dare you? I'm not digging deeper. I'm absolutely standing by what I say. So you're saying he's ripping off Australia. How many last tours can you have? You heard the previous caller say, I've got the final tour shirt. I went four times after that. No.

Don't you remember the song? We're just a scrubbing brush and veil of water. Fingers to the bone. I think this was his first hit. Who sings this? John Barnum. You imbecile. As if I didn't know you, Wombat. You're a wombat.

You don't like... He doesn't like John Farnham, ladies and gentlemen. I do like John Farnham. My point is... Give us a call if you think he's a crap. How many last tours can you have? As many as you like. Shut up and listen to John. You'll always be a gleaming lady.

Oh, Annie. You're cleaning me. Anyway, there you are. John Farner, one of the greats. 131873, the number. Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve. 6-4, Canterbury leading the Dolphins. 13 minutes left in the first half. Speaking of Uber Reserve...

Many things in life are unpredictable, like if your team will make it to the finals this year, but there are some things you can count on. If you love going to the footy or concerts, you'll know the hassle or stress of rushing to get there on time will worry no more. You can keep your schedule with Uber Reserve. Listen to this. With Uber Reserve, you can reserve an Uber ride in advance, whether that's 30 minutes before full time, right up to 90 days before kickoff. And it's easy to use. Just head into the Uber app,

tap the reserve icon and choose your pickup day and time, then relax and meet your driver when it's time conditions apply. Reserve now, right later with Uber Reserve. All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement.

Where is it? I'm just going through all the messages we've just received about John Farnham. This is probably the best one from Aaron that says,

At the end of it, I would love the great man to stand in the center stage under the spotlight and say, get that up your gallon. That's quite funny. Very good, Aaron. Aaron. Good on you, Aaron.

The Grinch says good on you, Aaron. The Grinch. Good afternoon, Levy, Big Man, Boyd and the Grinch. In the words of the Big Man, Gal, you're an absolute imbo. Levy, another cover the great John Farnham did was the Beatles' Help. I think it's as good, if not better, than the original. Oh, stop it. Now he's saying he's better than the Beatles.

Listen, this is a piss take now. Get over it. Seriously. Mate, you need to settle down. No, no. Mate, I'm just laughing. You hate being wrong. I'm not wrong. I didn't say that. I just said you hate being wrong. You're never wrong. You're never wrong. No, I'm wrong. I'm wrong sometimes. When are you wrong? Rarely, but... Rarely.

Unbelievable. I'm not wrong about this one. I'm trying to see if we've got help in the system here. We need some help. There's a lot of ads with it on at the moment. I think Gal needs some help. Hang on. So now Johnny Farn's better than the Beatles now? No, I'm not. That's what the previous text said. They're saying that his... The song is better than the Beatles. Are you going to shut up and listen or keep talking? I know exactly what you're going to say. I know exactly what you're going to say. They're saying that his version of this particular song is better than the Beatles. What's wrong with that? I don't... There's no way. It's not better than the Beatles. It's better than...

I can't do it. You're an idiot. Listen to it. Are you willing to concede? No, I'm not. You're an idiot. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. You used to. Anyway. That's beautiful. Steve Mitchell, the Gold Coast Titans boss, is on the line. G'day, Steve. G'day, Mark. How are you? Very well. Do you think John Farnham's version of help is up there with the Beatles?

Mate, it's up there. We just lost an NRLW game by one point and it made me very sentimental. LAUGHTER

I've been singing that song since I left the stadium, mate. On repeat. Oh, gold, gold, gold, gold. Well, mate, we'll... When you took the call, so thank you. Helped me get my feet back on the ground. Steve, we wanted to get you on to talk about Kieran Foran, who's about to play his 300th NRL game, and he's forged an incredible career. What's he done for your club, bringing that experience and everything else? And what would you like to say ahead of his 300th game?

He's just been remarkable to work with, Mark, to be honest. I think the thing he's teaching us is just tenacity, hard work and working through adversity. The way he applies himself week in, week out, regardless of what's going on, regardless of... One of those injuries that he carried last year, that tear on the bottom of his foot, you could see him after the game. He could hardly walk to the...

to the shower, let alone any roll-up every week. I think he's teaching us how to play tough, but he's also, he's got a young play group that he's loving playing with at the moment. I think what he's engendering in them with the way he's managing his week-to-week play and his leadership and the way he regulates and he talks, I think will stay with them in their careers, hopefully forever. When you talk, you know, Khan Pereira, as you were talking, big man's favourite, and we talk young Keanu Kenny at the back, Keanu Kenny sitting in the back behind him, and

Jaden Campbell sitting out there, young Josiah Pooley, he's loving playing with these kids, but what he's doing for them in regard to shaping what they need to do as professionals, I think will leave a legacy that will go on for five to ten years. He's

He's just delightful to work with. He's a great man. Mate, it's been a remarkable career because he's been through a lot, hasn't he? He's had not just injuries, but he's had drama off the field and, you know, stuff all over the place. And I've met him a couple of times, but I don't know him. The boys might know him better than I do. But what an inspirational bloke to have in your club at this stage of his career. I mean, he's just exactly what you blokes needed, I reckon.

He's spot on, big man. I think what he'll do from a DNA point of view, and we hope to keep him around post-career because of what he brings in regard to expectations, standards, and just his leadership.

characteristics. And I think he's also not just out in front with the way he plays himself. He plays so tough and I think at seven he's probably playing, he's back to some of his best footy, but I think his contact this year has been as good as he's seen. He's nice and strong. It just, pulling that in there, we've never been that. Kieran's starting to bring that out of the play group and obviously the coach is doing the same. And I think we needed

We needed him to actually teach us that. And he's done a great job with that on the field and off the field and facing some enormous challenges off the field. And Kit just stays consistent from a forward-facing, if you're after a representative or an ambassador for your club, when you get him in front of the media or if you get him in front of a news comp post-win or post-loss, he's consistent.

consistent and excellent. If you watch his communication with the referee on field, I think, you know, because of his tenure and because of his... He's an extremely intelligent man, I think. Kieran, beyond his pointy IQ and his ability to train and that, he's a very smart man. I think his ability to sum up a circumstance when he speaks to the referee, I think the referee knows that they're talking to someone who's

almost a professional in the game with his tenure. So there's a lot of parts to Kieran, and we've been honoured to have him on board. We hope he has a really good year, end of year this year and through next year, and who knows what happens at the back end of next year if we can keep him together for 26, but he's been enormous for the Titans. Yeah, Steve, he's had a great career, and 300 games is an enormous effort. But the most important thing, and I'm sure he'd want this weekend, is to have a win.

up against the St. George side. You must be down in Sydney by now. And how do they get the win this week against a side that is still fighting it out for the top eight? And I suppose you boys aren't totally gone at the moment. You still got aspirations of being in the top eight? Yeah, I think it's still mathematically possible. We definitely want to win. Kieran's earned that win. If you talk about consistency on field and

you know, the ability to want to win. He's a winner. And you can see it displayed every week. I'm in Townsville. I just finished the NRL W game, but I'll slide in tomorrow morning early. I think we need consistency. And that's, you know, when we're really on and we get about what we should be doing and processes and grind, if we play well, we'll be hard to beat. But if we're inconsistent...

then it won't be the case. So the boys need to get back to process and support Kieran. Kieran's been pushing us around the park beautifully. I think his kicking game's been great. So they need to support him. I think they owe him. And I think they'll certainly be up whether we can win the game. You know, that's up to them, but they'll certainly be up for it. He has a huge level of respect inside that playgroup.

The other thing I just wanted to quickly touch on, and it's a reason to celebrate for your club, is Karen Murphy being inducted into the Hall of Fame as well. That's something I know that the club and you are extremely delighted with.

Yeah, she's quite an amazing person, Karen. Obviously, worked with her prior in a role in the integrity unit. But if you have a look at her career and her contribution to the game, she played for the Gilleries for 15 years and 14 years of those as a captain. And she transitioned out of a playing career and she...

And those women that played early, they really cut the grass in regard to getting through and doing. They would raise their own funds, you know, travel overseas, manage their own tours. I remember Veronica White. I've heard stories of Veronica White actually singing the National Anthem and then running off and getting in a kit and coming back and playing for the Chilaroos and...

They really did it to the passion of the game. Karen then transitioned out of a professional playing career and arguably one of the best players they ever played, females they ever played a game and then in the integrity unit and set the integrity unit up and then has transitioned out of that into

our director of female rugby league. So not only is she coaching the NRLW squad, but she's building all the pathways that sit beneath that, all of our work with our school base and the kids in that region and coach the coaches. So her collective contribution to the game over her adult life, I think, is incredible.

just enormous and it's hard to quantify um i think moving into the hall of fame is is absolutely appropriate for her and and katrina fanning and veronica white and other guys in tony norris now the guys that are going through on wednesday night but i genuinely think somewhere in the next five years if we if we have a female immortal i think it's karen murphy giving her her life commitment to the game and her playing game and then off the field as an administrator and coach she's

We're very fortunate to have her. She's a wonderful human being and has done an enormous amount for the game. It's a big wrap for her, mate, but let's talk about big wraps. I want to talk about Khan Pereira. How fast is he? I mean, I know I get held down by these blokes, but I reckon he is the fastest player in the game. Firstly, is he the fastest player in your club, say over 100?

Absolutely, yeah. So you're just about agreeing with me there, I'd say, Steve. Hang on, hang on. You said two different things. You mentioned fastest player in the game. Then you said easily the fastest player in your club. There's a difference between club and game. I know there's a difference. It's a fair point from Gail. I know it's a fair point. Of course he's with you. Of course he's with you. Can't put a place for the Titans. He's the Titans CEO. Is he also saying Steve's going to lie? No, he's not going to lie, but he's going to back him. What?

Why wouldn't you? He's not the fastest in the game. But you're absolutely right. Thank you. Thank you very much. I think he said, I'm absolutely right. No, he said big man. Well, there's only one way to fix it, and that's have the sprint races they're talking about on Grand Final Day. And I'm happy to bet you right now Jason Sarr beats him over 100. Let's see if it happens, then we'll have the bet. Okay. Oh!

He can't bet after the race. No, I'm saying still I want to see it happen before I ever bet. He's that sure if he doesn't want to bet on it. Well, in all seriousness, Steve, as one of the NRL Club CEOs, I mean, there's been a bit of talk about the mini Olympics on grand final day. Is that something the Titans would support or not? That's tantalising, isn't it, that race? So, you know, it takes us back a little bit too. I...

I think that's great and insane. And I think the rugby league audience and even beyond that, beyond those communities, would love to see that sort of stuff. So, yeah, we'd support it. We just don't want to see, obviously, if we're playing on Green Final Lane, you know, we might be a stretch. But that'd be fantastic. I think that sort of stuff's wonderful for the fans. And we can actually then prove that Big Marnie is actually absolutely genius. I'll bet you it's both. OKP is my man. OKP. OKP.

All right. Thank you, Steve. You're a good man. And thank you for backing us up on John Farnham as well. No problem. Steve sounds like a good boy. That was just the way he felt. He was just upset because he just got beaten by a police. No, he's a good fella. And he's happy to weigh in on topics as well. Good on you, Steve. That's Steve Mitchell, the Gold Coast Titans CEO. 16-4. Josh Addo-Cars just scored for Canterbury over the Dolphins. Three minutes left in the first half. 16-4 Canterbury leading the Dolphins.

Billy Slater and Peter Basaldas had a chat about this sprint idea during the week on the Billy Slater podcast. This is what they had to say. We want a Channel 9 commentary team sprint, but you're banned. Okay. We said you're banned and JT's banned. JT's banned? Yeah, he's banned as well. Really? Get him in there. Okay, get him in. He's not that fast, JT.

Sam Thaida can be in there. Actually, hey, that's someone who you want to ban. He is athletic. Yeah, he is. And he's still playing too. Yeah, yeah. Don't be sort of disillusioned or miraged by –

how Sam looks in a pair of DTs, uh, budgie smugglers. But, um, he, he's, he can move Sam. He's got my money actually. I'm going to, I'm going to back Sam Thider. Who else we got there? Joey? Nah, Freddie? No. Cam Smith. Cam Smith needs it over about 20 kilometers. Um,

Salty, unfortunately, I can't pick you. Big Tomo. Tomo? Brace. Brace, yeah. Danica in it? Actually, Danica, she's a bit of a runner. Yeah. Alana. No, Alana. Actually, she should be banned like you. Yeah. No, you and Alana are out. There you go. It's not fair. 100 metres might be a bit far for me. Well, there's the boys, Salty and Billy on the podcast. Look, I'm going to back...

Jeez, I don't know. I think Danica, because she does a lot of running. So Danica gets my money. Go on, girl, say something sexist. I beg your pardon. Go on. I'll say it again. Go on, girl, say something sexist. Do you think a woman in that group would beat any of those blokes? Yes. As in what blokes are you talking about? We're just talking about them. Do I think Danica would beat...

Billy? Over 100 metres. No. And not because she's a girl. I don't think anyone would beat Billy over 100 metres in that that we just spoke about. Do you think Danica would beat Phil Gould? Yeah. Thank you. We'll take a break and be back with more. Half time in the footy and of course we'll take you around the grounds once again for Uber Reserve. 16.10 it is. The Bulldogs leading the Dolphins at the break in Bundaberg. 16.10 Bulldogs leading the Dolphins in

A few people saying, thank you for playing John Farnham's version of that song, You'll Never Walk Alone. It was fantastic. And then you've got Mark who says, I just had some lunch, boys. Came back to the garage to get my continuous call team fix and thought I stumbled into the John Farnham hour. Well, we had to defend the great man's honour, this great Australian who was taken to task last...

Yes, welcome back. Next hour, the continuous call team as we do it on a Saturday afternoon from the Interactive Studio. Second half underway in Bundaberg where it's Canterbury leading the Dolphins by 16 points to 10. 16-10 the score. The Bulldogs leading the Dolphins as we take you around the grounds.

And in the later two games that you'll hear with the boys, Matt Thompson will be along to broadcast the Cowboys and the Raiders.

at the foot of the mountains. Our number 131873. You can email us via the websites and you can text us 0460 873 873. Gee, some people are nice, aren't they? Hey, Levy, why don't you and the other fat slob have a run-off on grand final day in Budgie Smugglers over 100 metres? That would be a half hour of real entertainment. I'll tear a hammy.

I would definitely tell you how many. There's some nice people in the world, isn't there? Beautiful people. Social media muck. No, they just hide behind text messages, but they forget their mobile numbers there. So it's just not nice. I've got one word for you. What's that? Keyboard cowards. Keyboard cowards. Cowards castle. You know how I love having a drama. Oh, you love an issue. Here we go. What have we got? What's happened? There's been another issue. Oh, what's happened? Who with? Well, it was yesterday in the city, right?

So Gal, myself and J-Moz were hosting a function for the Glebe Dirty Reds.

Is it Club York that we're at? Is that not Rugby League? No, Rugby League. One of the first ever Rugby League clubs. And they play in the Ron Massey Cup and the Sydney Shield and all that sort of thing. So Gal and J-Moz were entertaining the fans and I just MC'd the day. So I was told to park in the car park across the road from Club York. So I followed the instructions. The car squeezed underneath the height restriction. And so I've gone around down the ramp and down to the boom gate. And there were a couple of cars sitting there. So I thought, well, I'll just wait.

Is this to go out? No, this is to go into the car park. All right. So then another bloke's coming behind me and he gets out of his car and says, mate, what are you waiting for? I said, the two cars in front of me. So he goes, oh, okay, sorry, I didn't see them.

Anyway, next minute the car park attendant comes back up shouting, raving and cowering on about me. Oh, we're full, we're full. I said, well, mate, I'm not a mind reader. I said, I'm just thinking you're going to park the cars like most other car parks. Anyway, so he kept giving it to me. And you know how well I handle criticism. So I've just started giving it back to him. So we've had a full scale slanging match in the car park.

And I said, mate, there's no need to be rude. All you need to do is say the car park's full and I'll go and find somewhere else to park. So who's in the wrong here, gentlemen? Am I in the wrong or is he in the wrong for carrying on like a pork chop? Well, I think it's difficult not being there to know exactly. So you're saying you're at a boom gate and there were two cars in front of you with people in them? No, they're empty.

So you parked behind two empty cars and a boom gate. Yes. Okay, I think I'm with the other bloke. So there's two big cars with no one in them, and you've sort of idled up behind them and just left your car on. No, no, I'm sitting in the car waiting for old mate to come back. So I finally get his attention, and he's waving at me, yelling and screaming and carrying on. I said, well, what's the issue, mate? He said the car park's full. I said, well, where's the car park full sign?

I said, rather than tell people to come in and pay $80 for parking or whatever it is, why don't you tell them it's full? So he starts yelling and screaming and berating me and carrying on and goes and hides in his little hut. So I've gone to the window and said, well, mate, can I park here or not? No, no, no, no, no. Did you park there, girl? I parked there, yeah. They give you a car parking fee? You know, guess what? Well, yeah. Valet? I didn't valet. He valeted it for me. But guess where he was from? Queensland. Queensland.

Could you believe a bloke working in a parking station at that particular car park was from Queensland? And he was actually very, very nice to me. What did you expect? He was a good fella. He wasn't a bad fella. It must have been a different person than the one I got. It must have been a different person. I think it was. I remember the one you were talking about. Oh, he's cranky, you know what? When I left...

He must listen to you. They actually put the car park full sign there. Oh, thanks Scoop. Some bloke moved the car park full sign. So he's come running out of his hut to the bloke. What are you doing? What are you doing moving my sign? Look, absolutely losing out on the bloke who moved his sign. So I've gone up. So I turned around, got out of the car park. So I've gone further up. I think it's called the Grace Hotel in the city. And the people there were lovely. You know, they go and park the car for you. And I told them what happened at the other car park. He goes, don't worry. We get most of the work because he's rude. So don't worry about it. But.

To make matters worse, I've got this imbecile over here, Paul, ringing me going, you get up me for being late. You're late. This function's already starting. I was there at 12.30. It started at 12.45. You were not there. Yes, I was. No, you were not. You know you were not. You were not there at 12.30. He's always into me. I've been here minimum 15 minutes before we start. So do you know what time you were there, please, mate? 12.30. He says you know what time you were there. 12.30. It was not 12.30. You were six minutes after that because I said to them,

You were six minutes after it. You were six minutes after it. Anyway, you didn't get fined anyway. You've done a great job running the show. I said you've done a great job. Jeez, it was a tough crowd trying to do an auction in that room. I'll tell you what, the coach...

Mate, nobody put a hand up for a bit on anything. You know who it was, boy? It was the Glead Dirty Reds. Like, they're a fit of club to you boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But guess what the coach done? So the coach is a good fella. He's one of the Macedonian boys, right? So he wanted to have a drink, but he didn't want to go out late and have a drink that night. So he didn't want to have to get up early on Saturday and wanted to train the boys. So he said the boys...

Righto, we'll train this afternoon. So all the boys are at this function. Everyone else is having a beer, enjoying themselves. The whole team just sitting there, just waiting for the thing to finish. They're exactly going to train that afternoon. After. That afternoon. After the function. After the function. How hard would that be? That's how I started off the function. I said, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Glebe Dirty Reds.

annual fundraiser, their one and only fundraiser. Which bright spark in the organisation thought it would be a good idea to make the boys train this afternoon? The coach put his hand up over at the bar. He was on the drink. Couldn't believe it. No way. Anyway, Gale was very entertaining. In fact, I thought J-Moz probably left him for dead in the stories department yesterday. J-Moz was better than Gale. Yeah, it surprised me. What do you think, Gale? I thought we both just done a good job. No, I think J-Moz was probably worth more money than you. I haven't seen J-Moz. He wouldn't have got more than Gale. You reckon?

Cash in hand. They would have got the same, I would have thought. I don't know. I don't think so. Gal charges. He charges a lot, Gal. J-Boss would have done it for nothing. I never got paid. Yeah, right. That's already three foot under the ground. Look at the great Terry Lamb on television. Josh Reynolds. What a champion. Having a little beverage as well. And he's got a stubby holder too.

A big one. He's realised it. He's the best, yeah. He's realised it. Anyway, 131873, the number I thought you'd take great delight in me sharing that story given there's always a drama involving me somewhere. Well, Levi, I'm sad that you had an unpleasant time trying to park your car.

So how far up the road did you have to go? A few hundred metres. So how much did you pay for parking up there? $70. That makes me happy. You don't want some money-making thing in the city, parking. 100%. I don't think it's just in the city. That is the greatest. Everywhere. I think it's everywhere.

You know the best thing about the parking is I think about the maintenance on buildings. There wouldn't be a lot of maintenance. Have you bought into parking? No, I'd love to though. I don't think you'd ever get into them. What about one at the airport? That'd be nice. I don't reckon you'd ever get into them again. I reckon they'd be that tightly held. You wouldn't get into them. The other issue I have is when somebody drives your car, I despise people who don't return the seat to where it was.

and having to get into the car, move the seat, move the mirrors, everything else. And you've got to change everything because they've decided to get into the car and turn everything off. Yeah, I don't park like that. I just park my own car. So what's that called? The valet. Elitism. It's elitism. You're an elitist. No, it's not that. You paid $70 to park. Valet parking. And they gave us parking for free, to be fair. Where? The York Street place, whatever it was. How did you get in there when it was full?

I don't know, but I got in there and then I went up to York Street to play some rugby. Have you set me up and you've parked the two cars that have stopped me getting in? They gave me a voucher. When I left, they said, did you get a voucher for upstairs? Yes, so I gave them the voucher. So here's me donating my time to help out this great club and I can't even get a car park. Well, it might be the first and last time I go to a Glebe Dirty Reds fundraiser. Put it that way. Well, Gally got a massive envelope.

Did he? No, I never. 50s. He should be paying Glebe Dirty Reds. Our table was half full. Gal had about three main meals. Yeah, I did have a fair bit of food. I was hungry, actually. Haggard's a lamb shank. The food was actually pretty good there, to be honest. It was good feed. Unbelievable. Now, Gal, while I'm talking to you, what do you love most about winter, mate? Waking up in my bed. Spinalese bed, mattress and pillow. And what about Mrs.?

She brushed me today. Why not do what thousands of Australians, including Paul, have done? Make the switch to the premium Spinal Ease pillow. It'll have you sleeping deeper, longer and more comfortably than ever before. Winters are never a pain with Spinal Ease, so check out the entire range today. Go to SpinalEase.com.au. That's SpinalEase.com.au. Beware of cheap imitations. Nothing feels like the original. 18-10 Canterbury leading the Dolphins. Ten minutes gone in the second half. 18-10 Canterbury leading Dolphins. We are the continuous call time.

Craig makes a good point. He says, Levy, what if the valet is vertically challenged and can't reach the pedals? Yeah, that's a fair point, I suppose. Does it really upset you that much that things have moved? Oh, it's just one of those things. You get yourself a nice, comfortable position in the car, so you've got everything sorted out, and then you get back in and everything's been changed. I'm actually pretty much with you. Like, even if the bloke is vertical challenged, like, just put the seat back. Mm-hmm.

I have the same problem when my wife drives my car. She never puts the seat back. And then when she drives in my driveway... Your driveway. It is my driveway. She sort of parks the car a little bit differently. So when I put it in reverse, I just reverse back so I know my route. I go straight back. But the way she puts the car in, she turns in a little bit more. So if I just went straight back, I'd hit the wall. I'd hit the big white wall at the front, which really annoys the car. You know when you're reversing or whatever. Do you ever look? No, I've got the screen.

I've got the screen. To be honest, I never turn around anymore. I purely do it by the screen. What about reverse parking?

Nah, same thing. I'm hopeless. I'm hopeless. I don't. No, it makes you really good at it. Watch the screen. I watch it all on the screen. Do you turn around and watch? I'll rape myself. That's when I first learned how to drive. Reverse parking was a very big part of getting your licence. I could not have a car these days without a reverse camera. They are so good. And the little line marking things to guide you where you're going. They're awesome. I must admit, I do like the camera. Hmm.

Just switching topic here for a second. Darrell, can I thank Darling Bev for producing the most magnificent Rocky Road?

I think that's one of her best batches of Rocky Road ever. The tradition continues with her, Mark. Her Rocky Road is just magnificent. She has tinkered with the chocolate she uses in it, though she has gone sometimes from the Cadbury to the Lint. What's she on today? I don't know what that is. I think it's Cadbury. Yeah, I think it's Cadbury. It could be still. I don't want to tell you this. You know the Lint you brought in about five years ago? We still got cartons of that. I thought I'd put it in there.

I'm a Cadbury man. Actually, where's Aunty Sue? We're probably juicing chocolate. I'm sure Aunty Sue. She's probably listening, Aunty Sue. Aunty Sue, where's the love? I'd say if you need to fundraise for your local sporting organisation, check out Cadbury Fundraising. Aunty Sue, I'll tell you what Darlene did do, which I didn't notice last year, was the nuts. She's always put nuts in. I didn't notice the nuts last year. You've got to have jelly.

Right? Yep. Nuts. Yep. Chocolate. Yep. Coconut. Yep. And other stuff. What else? You've got marshmallow. But see, this is a talking point, right? Because I know a few people that make different Rocky Roads. Everyone's got a little special thing they put in. Yeah. And I don't know what Bev does, but whatever she does to that Rocky Road is very, very good. I think she makes it with her love. I was about to say TLC. She puts TLC in there. TLC, right. I had one the other day with, you know, remember Klinkers?

Yeah. Oh, they're beautiful. Mate, you put clinkers in a rocky road, beautiful. Clinkers are magnificent. You can put everything in a rocky road. Yeah, you can. You could just about anything. It's beautiful. All right, well, if you've got a little secret...

in your rocky road at home, folks. 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873873. Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve. Canterbury leading the Dolphins by 18 points to 10. 15 gone in the second half, 18 points to 10. Canterbury leading the Dolphins as they knock the ball on here, the Doggies.

as they go down that far touchline. So Matt Burton down in back play. We'll keep an eye on all of that. 131873 is the number. Come on, boys. Stop with the excuses. Every car today has the seat set button to lock in your seat position. You just push that and it goes backwards. Not every car, but a lot of them do, yes. The new car we bought, we just bought a Palisade as our family car, and I'm number two, actually, yeah. So I pressed number two. What do you mean you're number two? Yeah, that's a good point. Did you pay for the Palisade? Yeah, paid for it, yeah.

Bought it. What, money? Yeah, yeah, paid money for it. Wasn't it like you didn't do an ad for them or something? Nah, nah. I thought you were getting cars from somewhere up the bush. Nah, that was back in the day. As I said, I never bought a pair of undies for 15 years or a car, but now I'm seeing as I'm just a... But when you say you never bought a pair of undies for 15 years, you didn't buy any. You did not buy any because you didn't get any for nothing. You just wore the same ones. Nah, I was always giving them, to be honest, but

Do you wear white fronts? No, you know what I wear? Every day I wear these ones. This one. You're still in the tradies. Every day. They're the best. Jeez, you still wear those. They're the best. Jeez, they'll be a bit thin downstairs, won't they? You wear them. A couple of pairs of holes in them. You wear them when you go to bed. I don't wear them. I don't wear them. I don't use the bed, no. What do you wear? Nothing. What do you mean? When I go to bed, I don't wear clothes.

Same. I don't wear X-Bows. Thank you. Boy, he's in the nude. You both like free-balling every night. Hey, Daryl, come on, would you? No shirt or anything. What about in winter when it's freezing cold? I do put a shirt on sometimes, yeah. But definitely no pants.

Always naked. I actually thought about that. I was actually thinking that the other day. I'm interested in this. Imagine someone coming to your house or your kids got worried. See, my kids are starting to get a little bit older now, so I can't really run around the house. Can't do that. Yeah, that's what I mean. When your kids were a bit younger, did you run around in the raw? Well, yeah, because they're kids. How old were they?

Four or five. That's still... I think four or five is an age where they shouldn't be subjected to seeing you running around with nothing on. I think that's reasonable. Don't run around the house and just forsake it. But, I mean, if I go to bed at night and I hear a bang in their room or something, I want to get up and check what it is, I should just go check what it was. What about you, Daryl? Do you get around home in the nude? No, no, no. I used to... I've told you, I've swum in the pool in the nude because I just feel it exhilarating. LAUGHTER

I don't go around the house with a nude. No, even though it's just me and darling there, it doesn't make much difference what goes on there. Right, so we've got a couple. Well, the other member of the Continuous Call team who happens to be a nudist and has admitted in the past to going to nude beaches is Chris Warren.

Oh, really? Yes. He is single, though. That's worked well for him. How's he going? What is he? Is he coming in? No, no, he's on West Tigers duty tonight. West Tigers duty. Jeez, he did a good job last week. He worked his butt off. He did. That would be a good start. Honestly, he's single, right? I would call him frosty. If I was going to go to a nudist beach, I'd want to go to a nudist beach with a partner or with a girl. I would. Why? Because imagine rocking up to a nudist beach on your own.

Wouldn't it be a little bit awkward? Or with another bloke. Holding hands. There's nothing wrong with that. It'd be a bit awkward, I reckon. What, going by yourself? Yes. I don't see it would be that bad. I mean, probably blokes who go there by themselves to a nudist beach would be a little bit different to most people, wouldn't you think? So you're saying Frosty's different? I don't think. I'm going to make a controversial statement. I don't think attractive people go to nude beaches.

I think they do. Do you reckon? So you're saying they're all ugly who go to a new place? I don't think they're attractive, no. I've never been. I wouldn't mind finding out.

I reckon it's the in thing, not having the tan lines and that. So I reckon the... Tracey, you reckon the good sorts and everyone gets... Would you ever go to a nude beach, Boydie? Yeah, for sure. You would, would you? I'll go. But I'd go with the missus. The tan lines worry you? Tan lines, I don't mind. But I think that's more of a... Female thing? Female thing, but...

What about you, big man, in your latter years of life? I wouldn't go later years. I did go when I was a youngster. Did you? When I was at school once, I had my sluggers on and I went to a nude beach with a lot of the kids from school, like year 12. With your sluggers on? Well, I had them on, but I kept them on until I got in the water, then I took them off and put them around my neck. I didn't want anyone to see them. No one to see your face either. Particularly with the shrinkage factor, Gail. Yeah.

What about you, Paul? Nude beaches? No, I've never been to one. I probably wouldn't go. Is there a nude beach in the Shire somewhere you could try? I don't think so. Maybe over the other side of Bundina. You'd probably get over with some boats up. Why don't you give it a go? Even around... I don't know.

There's the other side, yeah. I mean, I don't know. I wouldn't go. There's one down there at La Perouse somewhere, isn't there? You know where it is. But Boydys said to know. Boydys not as head of there. Is that where you went? No, I know there is one there, though. Have you been to a nude beach? No, I haven't. But you would do it? Yeah, I'd be open to it for sure. I think he's doing it this week. Although it's a bit cold at the moment. Just let it till it warms up a bit, though. I need all the help I can get.

I've just been having a look at the system here, Big Man, and there's a 2023 highlight, Big Man's survey, Sleeping in the Nude. I might share that with our listeners shortly. I can't remember that one. Did you do a survey about people sleeping in the nude? Did you? I may have. I can't remember sleeping in the nude myself. Okay, fair enough. Not pretty.

Imagine Darling Bev, here's a thud from the next room. She comes running into the... Darryl, put some clothes on. That would just be me falling out of bed. Let's bring in Billy Slater, the Queensland legend rugby league commentator these days with Nines Wide World of Sports. He's on the line. Hello, Billy. Hey, Levy. How are you, mate? Mate, very well. Firstly, can we start off by congratulating you on being inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame? What an honour, mate. How do you feel?

Yeah, obviously pretty honoured, to be honest. Yeah, obviously grew up with this game in a rugby league area, rugby league family, and

It's just a way of life for myself. I started playing when I was four years old. To be acknowledged in this sort of fashion is something that's pretty humbling. Not just for myself, but for my family and my junior coaches and everyone that's been involved in my career. I've got a couple of guys in the studio that I've played alongside that

played parts in my career as well. So, yeah, no, it's an acknowledgement for a lot of people. But, yeah, just some healthy company there as well. Just before the boys jump in, I'm sure a lot of our listeners would love to know, you know, throughout that decorated career, having won premierships, represented your state, represented your country, you're now coaching your state as well. What's been the career highlight for Billy Slater throughout that magnificent career? Yeah.

Yeah, good question, to be honest. Yeah, I've been fortunate to be in a lot of good teams and, you know, with a lot of good guys and a lot of good players. And I don't think I can go past my debut game. Yeah, I just think it was a moment in my career that I just felt like a lot of hard work had come off and it was a

childhood dream to be an NRL player. It's all I wanted to be when I was a young kid and to run out with an NRL jersey on for the Melbourne Storm and playing the NRL was probably a moment that I always hold up there as one of the highest honours that I've had and obviously went on to achieve some other great things in some great teams but I

Yeah, I just think that moment of playing in the NRL was pretty satisfying. Good on you, mate. Well, congratulations on behalf of everyone in rugby league. You brought us so much joy watching you as a rugby league player. And thankfully now we get to see you and hear your expert opinions on Channel 9 and, of course, on the...

the Billy Slater podcast. Now you're on deck tonight from the studio for the game at Campbelltown between the West Tigers and South Sydney. I guess for these two teams, it's all about salvaging some pride in the games remaining in the regular season, Bill.

Yeah, although there's nothing on offer in September for these two teams, I think it could be a pretty entertaining game, to be honest, both like using the football. And I think we'll see the best of both teams offensively. Defense has always been an issue for these two teams in 2024. So I think there could be some entertaining footy being played tonight.

Mate, any of these blokes really take your eye in these battling clubs, like the young blokes who have come in? Has any of them really impressed you?

Yeah, I think the guy that's come in for Latrell Mitchell, big man, has certainly been impressive. Jai Gray, he's only small in stature, but he's got a whole heap of courage. And, you know, sometimes those smaller guys are harder to handle. They're built low to the ground and they've got a lot of speed. And with the fatigue in the game at the moment, it certainly suits those guys. So,

I'll be keeping an eye on young Jai Gray tonight. Bill, Dream Buller unfortunately has been ruled out for the Tigers, but lucky galva, mate. 19 years of age, he's been a star this year. He's been one of the best players for the Tigers. He's got a big future. He's been consistent for a young man, hasn't he, Gal? That's something to admire with a young guy coming into a struggling team that has

hasn't been consistent. He's been quite consistent. For a young guy, I think always the physical side of the game is always a challenge, but he seems to handle that really well. I think he's going to grow into probably a guy that plays in the middle of the field, maybe like a ball-playing lock or something like that later in his career, but

doing a great job and I think the Tigers can really build around him. Bill, it's good to see you. It reminds me a little bit of, say, Wade Graham where he started off in the halves as a young 18, 19-year-old and just grew into his body and ended up being a pretty good back rower.

Yeah, I think he's going to be a little bit taller than Wado as well. So, yeah, no, he's going to be quite the size when he physically fills out and matures. But as long as he keeps those ball skills. And the other thing he's got is he's got a good understanding of the game. He knows when to put a kick in. He knows how to measure it. And, you know, he seems to have that calmness in and around that position as well.

All right, fantastic. Well, Billy, you'll be on Nine's Wide World of Sports tonight covering it all. And I look forward to joining you for the podcast next week, mate. Go well. And again, congratulations on being inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame.

Thanks, gents. Have a good Arvo. Good on you, bud. There he is, Billy Slater, nine commentator, NRL legend and Rugby League Hall of Famer. It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it? And he thoroughly deserves it. One of the greatest fullbacks to ever play the game. Brilliant. When he first started, I remember looking at him, I thought, he looks a bit small, this bloke. But, my God. You know, particularly, I suppose, on the back of everyone saying he was a track work rider, you know, for wherever. But then, once he started playing, you watched him and thought...

He can play this bloke. He was fast. He had everything, didn't he? He had everything. Boy, I've sort of got to know him a bit working with him the last couple of years on radio and doing the podcast with him. I've never met somebody sort of post-football to put so much work into what he does. Like he's meticulous in everything he does. And a few people have said he was like that as a player as well. Is that your experience with him?

Yeah, definitely. I think his preparation too and just his knowledge and IQ of the game was second to none. I had a bit to do with him there in the Australian camp and

Just to see him around obviously guys like Cameron Smith, Thurston, but he was the one taking charge the most I reckon in team meetings and just his knowledge around the game plan and he'd know his role but he would know everyone else on the field's role and point you in a direction where you needed to be like he's doing your job for you. But the one thing, the biggest wrap for Billy for me is just his consistency over his career.

his best game to his worst game would have probably been a couple of percent in it and that's that's amazing there's good players that can play you know three or four games and then have one or two but they're great players they just don't know how to have a bad game and he was one of those guys and I suppose that makes him you know 300 plus first grade games and

name a bad one he played, you know, it'd be hard to find. And, Gal, when it comes to Bill, I mean, that's why a lot of people now love listening to his opinions on the game because he's got a great rugby league mind given he played in a vital position in not only the NRL but for Queensland and for his country. Yeah, he was... I think probably Anthony Minichiello started the way the fullbacks play these days, but Billy Slater mastered it and was the best, probably the best by far, I'd say. He was...

A brilliant player and a boy he summed it up. His preparation, I've never seen someone prepare better for a game of football or anything. Even at Channel 9, he's got notes made up. As a coach, I did not surprise me at all. He's done well at coaching. He was, as I said, Kevin Street's the best player I've played with or against, but

Billy Slater's not far off that. He's right there. He wouldn't really work on this show if he's doing notes and preparation. Preparation. That's why he's on television. That's why he's so good at what he does. He'd have to, I don't know, what'd he do if he was in here? There are a few people that have come onto this program in the past with notes. I remember doing a show with the great Mario Fennec at the Sydney Football Stadium, and he came in with notes. He wanted to discuss scrums and all these. I said, no, no, Mario, we don't do that. We don't do that. Bulldogs in again here, 28 points to 10.

They lead the Dolphins with 11 minutes left in the second half. You'd think they're home, 28-10. Gal tipped the Dolphins. Listen, I tipped the Dogs and the Dolphins, actually. Actually, Ray's asked me to take that up with you today too. What about him trying to weasel his way out of the $500 bet? If I donate $300 to charity, yeah, you. He did not. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. I'm taking the absolute piss out of Raimondo. That's what it was. Excuse me?

What's your language on this? What's your language? And secondly, don't tell Porky's. You're trying to get a $200 deduction of the $500 bet. Would you like me to read the whole text message I sent? He was taking the mickey out of Armando. No. That's what I was doing. You talked it up trying to get him to go for $1,000. And then you put yourself and tried to weasel out for $300. You're a suck. You're an absolute suck. Stop sucking up to him. You can't handle the truth. Breaking back with more.

Back around the ground, Zuba Reserve, Canterbury 30, Dolphins 10. Nine to play, second half, 30 points to 10. Canterbury leading the Dolphins. One of our listeners says, G'day, Levy. Stephen here. I can't believe I've turned into Levy. I just got up a bloke for pushing in while paying for fuel. Turned into you. I'm not sure how I feel about it from Stephen. And Mersey says, Mark, I doubt there's been a fullback in the game that has a better court-dropped percentage of high balls than Billy Slater. He just never dropped one. Yeah, good on you, Mersey. Thank you very much.

Well, last night he was braving the elements in Four Pines Park, Brookvale, but today I'm sure he's in the comforts of his home or maybe out for a long lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I speak of George Rose and he's online right now. G'day, George. G'day, boys. How are we? Long lunch? Yes.

Yeah, yeah. It's actually a great day so far, so it's going good. Great day on the punt. What was that for an answer? It's a smother. It's an absolute smother. No, look, I want to say a big thank you to Gal. I just backed a sizzling gal up at Doonban, and it's going to go into my same-game multi, so thanks for that, mate. A little something for the battlers.

Well, let's talk about the first game the boys will call, the Cowboys and the Raiders. North Queensland $1.49, Raiders $2.65. Seven playing 11 on Saturday night. This game almost a must win for the Cowboys and a certainly must win for the Raiders if they have finals aspirations. Who are you tipping in this one, George?

I've got to go with the Cowboys here. I do think that it's a very close game, and both of them have got absolutely everything to play for. Them bottom eight teams, they're really hanging by a thread. So I think the Cowboys need this win, and I reckon they can do it up there in Townsville. Jeez, I'm just having a look here. You've got some juicy odds about your same game. Malty, what have you put in?

I'm going Cowboys head-to-head. I've got Val Holmes, any time try scorer. Matt Timico, any time try scorer. And I reckon the Raiders will score the last try. All right, so $27.33 for that one. Cowboys head-to-head. Val Holmes, any time try scorer. Matt Timico, any time try scorer. And the Raiders to score the last try, $27.

$57.33. And given that you're going to put some of Sizzling Gal's money on it as well, George, you might be in for a fat night. So, mate, we'll check in tomorrow. You enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Cheers, boys. Have a good one. Good on you, mate. There he is, George Rose. Chances are you're about to lose. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Six minutes left in the second half. Canterbury 30, Dolphins 10. We do that for Uber Reserve. 30 points to 10. Canterbury leading the Dolphins.

Now, we were talking earlier about sleeping in the nude. Season 2023, the best of the continuous call team this year. Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time for the big man's survey. So if you've got an opinion, give us a call. 131873. The Survey. The Survey.

What have we got for us, big man? I'm glad we resurrected the survey because it's been brilliant, I reckon. Well, today, it's a two-fold thing. Well, the survey itself is this.

Out of everyone out there in listener land, who sleeps in the nutty? Are you asking me or listeners? You're a listener. You're in the server. Well, I'll ask you. Do you sleep in the nude? Yes, I do. Levy? No. Davo? No. Me, no. I don't either. There's a few issues I've got, but I don't sleep in the nude. And I don't like sleeping in the nude. But I'd just like to know what percentage of people actually do sleep in the nude. I don't know. Do you think more men or women sleep in the nude? Men. I'd say men. Why? Why?

I don't know. My wife sleeps with clothes on. I often wonder why. Because she's married to you. But what would be the reasoning? If you're saying more men sleep in the nude than women, why would that be? Well, probably because the women, particularly when you've got kids. Like I know with my kids, my kids, whenever they get up, whenever they walk into our room at night or whenever they want something, they always yell at mum because they know that dad will say shut up.

So they yell out, mums, and she will go. That's got nothing to do with sleeping in the nude. Well, it would because she's got to get up and go see the kids. Like, our daughter's now 14. I can't walk around her naked. That's not right. So I think, and my other kids are... Well, she's still 14 even though you're sleeping in the nude. Why don't you put clothes on? Because she doesn't come into my bed and sleep with me. She's 14. She's got her own room. What if she just peeks? Like, she walks past the door or something. I'm under the blanket. I'm under the blanket. No, no, no. David, I'm thinking...

I think you, Gail, should consider wearing pyjamas. Not a chance. Particularly in the summer, there's not a chance in the world on putting any clothing on in the summertime when it's... So you'd put it on in winter when it gets cold. Okay, so I stayed in Orange during the week and I was freezing cold. The room I stayed in was quite small. It's unusual. Orange gets cold. It was freezing. And I actually had a jumper, so I put a jumper on. I slept in a jumper because I was that cold. Did you have Reggie's on? No.

It's way more comfortable, mate. You just let things fly. If I was to put a number on this, Daryl, I don't think too many people would sleep in the nude. Yeah, I reckon. No, I reckon it'd be the minority of the population. No, I'm saying 50-50 minimum. Whether you're married, got kids, all that stuff. I mean, the point you made is relevant. I mean, if you've got kids...

I don't know if you should sleep in the nude personally. Well, me? She doesn't, I do. Yeah, but the kids will come into your room occasionally, won't they? When they're babies, yeah. I mean, they're five years old. That's OK. It'd be younger people that would sleep, not sort of in their teens and that. It'd be younger, sort of 20s and 30s that would sleep in the nude, wouldn't it? I don't know. It wouldn't be older people. Like, 60s and 70-year-olds wouldn't sleep in the nude, would they? Probably not. I wouldn't think so. Some would. I...

I've never slept in the mood. Never, ever. Oh, well, I might have on the odd occasion. I might have had a couple of beverages.

I find it really uncomfortable. I've got a shirt on. Even the other night with the jumper on, I find when I roll over, I feel like part of the jumper stays there and you're sort of twisted and just caught up. I think with nudges, I feel free. I feel comfortable. Like nothing's happening. You're a nudist. Yeah, maybe. Okay.

That's his next sporting achievement. He'll be a gold medalist at the nude Olympics. I would have thought with winter coming along, do you then, you did say this, do you then wear clothes in winter? Not at home, I don't. But if I, like, the other day I was at a foreign, I suppose you'd call it bed, and I didn't really like the bed. And I actually went to the cupboard and looked for another blanket to put on the bed because I was going to sleep nude. The cupboard wouldn't open. And then I started getting really worried there was someone in it. Did you all get that?

Listen to this, mate. What a heavyweight champion. He's scared of a cupboard. Ah, yes, another highlight from the continuous call team while we were talking about nudists. Now, question number three or clue number three in the quiz for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. I have the nickname Big Papa. I have the nickname Big Papa.

win with the Winter of Sports giveaway on now at Coles. The Cowboys are 1-17 as per the program. Tom Chester is the 18th man and for the Raiders, Atomariotta starts at prop. We'll come back to that shortly. In the meantime, here's Matt Burton having a chat to Jake Duke on Fox after a 30 points to 10 victory over the Dolphins. It's both in attack and defence. Yeah, very pleasing. Obviously, we let a few easy tries in there at the start, which wasn't the best, but I thought we stuck to our game plan and

you know just turn them around and stuck to the process and did what we talked about coming into the game so yeah very pleased with that. Defense has been a cornerstone of the dogs this season but your attack looks like it's really coming along how do you feel as a playmaker in this team? Yeah I feel really special to be a part of this and yeah I think we just showed what we can do today I thought we just flowed and we're just playing off the cuff footy and just guys up and off the back of Sexy there leading us around yeah I thought he was really good today and

and kicks on the edge. So, yeah, we've just got to keep building and getting better each week, take it week by week. What's the belief like that you can keep touch and possibly end up in the top four when it's all said and done at the end of the season? Yeah, we're just taking it week by week. We're not looking too far ahead. And as I said before, we're just focused on what we need to do come game day.

Yeah, we can't get too ahead of ourselves and we've just got to keep chipping away. Your 100th next week, you head across to play the Warriors. How are you feeling about that one? Obviously another tough road trip to come. Yeah, for sure. We know they're always tough up there. Yeah, it's going to be a big game. Yeah, 100 games is pretty cool to go up there and play my 100th. But yeah, not looking too far ahead. We'll enjoy this one and get back to work. Just finally, have you ever seen the Fox get run down before like that?

Not really. He's fast, but they've got a few fast fellas as well, so it was a good race there. I better go and enjoy it. Thank you so much. We'll bring in Reid Marnie. Reid, congratulations. Fantastic win.

I guess the defence as well. This is the seventh time this season you've held a team scoreless in the second half. How pleasing is that? Yeah, it's really pleasing. We know what sort of attacking team they are. I think they're within the top five attacking teams on your trial line. They showed a bit of class early on, but we just kept grinding the way we put them in.

you know, in the corners and just backed our D. But, yeah, I think we really grinded that win out today. Yeah, Matt Burton and Reid Marnie having a chat to Jake there on Fox League. 30 points to 10, Canterbury beating the Dolphins. Now, Cowboys 1-17. Tom Dearden playing his 100th game for the Raiders. Adam Ariotta starts in the front row. Josh Papali'i to the bench. Albert Hoppawati and Tom Chester are the 18th men. Who are you tipping tonight, Boydie? Cowboys, Raiders?

I've gone the Cowboys, mate. Cowboys in that one. Tigers, Rabbit Eyes. Going to go the Tigers. The Tigers in that one. All right. Well, mate, you've been brilliant. Thank you very much for joining us off the back of a Roosters victory last night, and we'll catch you in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, boys. Good to be back.

There he is, Boyd Cordner. And congratulations to Matty at Beaumont Hills, who's won the $200 meat tray voucher from Stapleton Quality Meats. And Ian from Coolum has won the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. The answer to the quiz today was Josh Papali'i.

So the first result today is a win to the Bulldogs over the Dolphins by 30 points to 10. Coming up in half an hour, the Cowboys and the Raiders. Matt Thompson will be along to broadcast that match. And at 7.35 tonight, Jamie Soward is on deck as the West Tigers host the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. And I'll be back with you tomorrow at Pointsbet Stadium down there in the Sutherland Shire for the Sharks and the Knights. Good luck to your footy teams tonight.
