Let's talk about the Dragons and the, well, revival under coach Shane Flanagan. Daryl, you just said during the commercial break that you thought that was the best game from Kyle Flanagan that you've seen in first grade, and I'm pleased to say the St. George Lawora Dragons playmakers on the line. Hello, Kyle. Hey, boys. How's it going? Mate, very well. Congratulations on the win last night. Nice to come away with another two valuable competition points, and you played really well. Congratulations to you.

Yeah, cheers, Levy. Yeah, it was obviously a pretty important game for us going into the bye and we wanted to go up there to Brisbane and, you know, start fast and that first half we definitely did that.

Mate, I said it to the boys. I think it's the best game I've seen you play in first grade. I thought you were just outstanding. I think you took the responsibility with no Ben Hunt there and you took it on and put it on your shoulders and you led that side around. You directed them around the park. You had a bloke playing at halfback who's, you know, pretty inexperienced, but I know he's been around a little while, but he hasn't played a great deal of first grade. I just thought it was a phenomenal performance from you. Well done, mate.

Cheers, big man. I guess when people talk about the Dragons, they always say that the Dragons are sort of a one-man band when Benny Hunt's playing. So I sort of want to try to get away from that and try to find my feet. I'm obviously really enjoying my footy being back underneath the old man and enjoying my footy so far at the Dragons and hopefully push for a final spot.

Yeah, Kyle, it's J-Moz, mate. Congratulations on the win, mate. I thought you were outstanding. How was the old man after the game? Obviously, he would have been happy with the result, but that last 20 minutes, you kind of took the foot off the pedal and the Broncos nearly came back in the end.

Yeah, J-Moz. Yeah, he was pretty disappointed after the game. I guess I probably didn't last too long. He was sinking piss after that. You got the bye next week? Has he got home yet? Has he home yet or what? Well, we are catching up in about half an hour to go down to the local water and all. So, yeah.

Hey, Kyle, what about your back five? J-Moz and I were talking about the job that they did last night for you guys, just getting you out of trouble, getting you on the front foot.

Yeah, they did a great job for us. I think we're not going to shy away. We know that's our strength and we need those guys carrying the ball nice and strong out of the backfield. They get us set started and our forwards can just run off the back of that. Yeah, they played unreal last night. Good stuff. Kyle, you get married later in the year, so congratulations to you and the bride. I believe that Daryl's coming along. Is he officiating in any way or is he just there to enjoy himself?

I think you can just, you know, enjoy himself, you know, have a few beers. Yep. Sink a bit of piss like you just did. Got to make sure you've got a good spread there for the big Monday too. Listen, Darrell, once was okay, not the second time. So out of interest, who is emceeing the wedding? Not your old man, surely not. Maxi King from the Bulldogs. Maxi? Maxi King, yes.

I'm glad you didn't say Peggy. I'm about to catch up with Peggy, so don't listen to any of his jokes. Can I just share a story about Peggy? So Peggy is one of Shane Flanagan's great mates, and the reason they call him Peggy is he's got one leg. So it was only recently, Daryl, that we were down at the Royal Motor Yacht Club having a beer with Paul Gallen and Peggy and Flano, and you were there and all that sort of thing, and

How long has Paul Gallen known Peggy for? Because he's only just realised that he's got one leg. Why? See, Paul Gallen's not very smart. We all know that. We know that. Like, he didn't know yesterday that avocados were grown on trees. He thought they were like potatoes dug from under the ground. Avocados. So you call a bloke Peggy, you think there's a fair chance he's only got half a leg? Seriously. Anyway. But Peggy, I mean, Peggy's the only bloke who's got half a leg and he wears socks. Oh, no.

He wears socks when he puts shoes on on his wooden leg. Damn. It's just off. What's the issue between you and Peggy? Oh, there's a lot of issues. What's the issue? There's a lot of issues. I think he's a great bloke. No, he's not a great bloke. Why not? He's an imbo. He's not an imbo. What do you think, Colt? Big man, we're rock solid, mate, so I'll jump on your side, eh? So you're about to go and see Peggy and you think he's an imbo? We're solid.

He won't be listening. He'll be listening. He's like Hadley. He's got Spidey. You know who will be listening? Shane. Afternoon to you, Shane. Shane's shout for lunch. Good on you, Kyle. Played well last night, mate, and congratulations on the Dragons' victory. You're certainly positioning yourselves for a crack at some finals footy. Go well, mate. Cheers, boys. Thank you very much. There he is, Kyle Flanagan, and I'm still waiting for him to reshout me lunch and a couple of coffees because every time I'm at the bakery, oh, Kyle, leave it. You can get lunch here. What about a pronto?

He'll be there now. He'll be there all the time. I might have to put an extra zero on the bill.
