The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Sunday 7th July 2024 02:01:54

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous Colt team.

with Mark Levy, Daryl Roman, Mark Riddell and Mark Gassner. We had a nice lunch today to celebrate. Where did you go? We went to an Italian restaurant where they had this Italian food quite remarkably. It was beautiful. I thought it would be Thai for sure. No, no, no, Italian food. I thought...

I thought it'd be time for you at the Italian restaurant. No, you're being silly, right? No, I went to a seafood restaurant at a steak. I've done that. I didn't know our Italian restaurant served club sandwiches. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. You know when you use your windscreen wipers and they start going like cluttering as they're trying to wipe the windscreen? You know, it's not smooth. Need new rubber. What?

What? Need new rubber. Yeah. Well, they're either faulty or they're not good rubbers. Did you get the right ones? Maybe you've got the wrong rubber. Maybe your ball under's too big. Did you ever have a faulty rubber in the 80s? LAUGHTER

No, we're not going there. Goodness gracious. I just wanted to know. I don't use them because they keep falling off. The Continuous Call Team. Thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, First Choice Liquor, Ram Trucks, Westpac.

Uber, Castrol, Ducks Hot Water, Brydon's Lawyers, Lowe's, Karcher and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. I was driving past a van and it got me thinking because it had a really good business name. Now, this business was called Well Hung. So off the back of that, I thought, what other great business names that they've seen out there? Let's go with some calls here. Sue's first up in Coffs Harbour. Hello, Sue. I had a hairdressing salon many years ago called Short and Curly. LAUGHTER

You should have kept it at this day and age. Did you do Brazilians there? Look, I'm a little concerned. I've just had a text message from our national content manager. Greg Burns is listening. We're in trouble. He said, be careful, buddy. We need you on breakfast tomorrow, not suspension. LAUGHTER

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. You're a milestone for a rooster's hard man and three of the knights pushing their case for origin. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Continuous Call Team.

as we wrap up the 18th round of the NRL with a couple of crucial games when you look at the ladder. Jarrod Brea-Hagree is becoming the most capped rooster of all time when the Tricolours tackle St. George-Lawara at Allianz Stadium. The Chooks can cement their spot in the top four. The Dragons could find themselves in the eighth with just nine rounds left until the finals.

Well, in the game, we'll broadcast for you at 4 o'clock. All eyes on Bradman Best, who's in the mix to replace Latrell Mitchell in the New South Wales Origin team for the decider. He'll be desperate to prove himself when Newcastle tackles Canberra in the nation's capital. The Raiders and the Knights are two of those teams on the cusp of the top eight, so a win today could be crucial for them as we count down to the business end of the season. Now, when it comes to the Origin decider, we've got the Blues squad being named tonight with Michael Maguire weighing up whether to pick Bradman Best...

Tom Trebojevic or Matt Burton in the centres after Latrell suffered that foot injury that is going to see him miss a month of footy. So let us know what you think, folks. Who should come into the side at Suncorp Stadium? While Billy Slater will name the Queensland Maroons squad at 9.30 tomorrow morning and you can expect some changes.

Ponga, he's the other player we'll keep an eye on this afternoon because he's in the frame to be picked for the Queenslanders. Dane Gagai's name's being mentioned. David Fafita, Selwyn Cobbo, two of the other names as well. So you can have your say this afternoon on 131873. You can email us via the websites and you can text us as well, 0460 873 873. Before I welcome the team, the Super Saturday of footy was sensational. Matt Burton proved the hero again for Canterbury.

as the Bulldogs beat the Warriors 13-12 in Golden Point extra time. Jerome Hughes guided the Storm to a 40-28 win over the West Tigers, and Daly Cherry Evans kicked the winning field goal in extra time to hand Manly a 21-20 win over North Queensland. Let's welcome the continuous call team, Darrell Brome and Mark Riddell, and Mark Gasney with us today. And, Big Man, as I say good afternoon to you, we've gone viral for a number of reasons over the years, but I'm pleased to report we've now gone global

Because I'm told the vision of a possum infiltrating the commentary box at Leichhardt Oval last night has been seen in America, Great Britain, Germany, all these different countries. And the world is obsessed with this possum that was nibbling on some pizza last night with you. It's quite amazing, Levi. Good afternoon to you, to Gaz, and welcome back, Gaz. Haven't seen you this year, I don't think, have we? No. Thanks, Big Mate. Good to see you back. And Piggy...

Welcome to you. Great to have you here today on Sunday. Look, I've done some homework on this possum. Right. It's now got more followers than you on Twitter.

Sorry about that. But this possum... How's this got back on me? I was going to say. I just thought I'd say. This goes bang. Well, this possum is a legendary possum because it was sitting at the back of the box and seriously, I don't know if any of you have seen the vision of it, it was like it was living there. It's been living there for five years. Just had its legs up, eating a pizza, about to crack a smoke. You know, it was just having the best time of its life. There were people walking past it. I must admit, and it...

Possum's name wasn't Mark Riddell, was it? Well, I'm not sure what its name was. But it was just sitting back and having the time of its life. I hope it... I don't know. I imagine it's from there somewhere. Could we find someone from... Well, I mean, they might have brought it in. Wires? Is it wires? Yeah. Wires? But there's all these trees around there, so it's obviously lived in the area. It might have lived in the roof. Who knows? Because possums do that, Piggy. Possums live in places you probably wouldn't go. Was it friendly? I didn't talk to it.

Well, it sounds like it was very comfortable if it was just sitting back having pizza. Yeah, just having pizza and stuff was amazing, really. The vision's fantastic. If you haven't seen it, if you log on to the 2GB or Continuous Call Team Facebook and Twitter and all the other pages, you'll be able to see the possum. Could we get someone on, like Chris Warren or someone from...

Look, Tigers, just to fill us in on what happened to it, because I don't know what happened to it. I hope it's all right. It just lives at Lycada. You've got to know if it went for recovery or that. Well, I'm worried about it. I don't think the media manager for the West Tigers has put out a search party for a possum. It'll just go off and do its thing. That's what possums do. Well, it's the best story the West Tigers can have out of you. LAUGHTER

On the footy, I know you had a fat day. I did. A little bit of success on the old points bet app, just quietly. But what did you think of the footy? I didn't see the first game, but obviously, given the fact it went to golden point, it was obviously pretty good. They tell me the Warriors were a bit stiff. I must admit, I didn't see it. In saying that, the last game as well, I think, given the fact the Cowboys, I think, had five shots at field goal. And most of them from a reasonable position were...

I probably can't work out why the fullback didn't have a crack after the one he kicked to get the two points, to get him to the golden point situation there. But he didn't. But I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw of the second game. Took a while to get home. I probably saw most of the second half, or the third game, I should say. Out of interest, how long did it take getting away from Leichhardt home?

I would say half an hour to get out of the car park. Just get out of there. Yeah, there was a lot. And we finished at the same time the game finished. So, you know, there was a lot. Well, there's only 10,000 there, but 10,000 at Leichhardt's like 20,000 elsewhere. You know, and it was... And plus I was driving home with Gallant punishing. But it was...

Mate, the second game, or the third game, I should say, was a really good game. I enjoyed the game we called, actually, because even though, you know, defence wasn't a premium, the attack was great. There was, I think, 11 tries scored in that game. Tigers scored five. Tigers have got a bit of something going for them. I think there's a real future for some of those blokes. I love the 5'8". I think he's a good player, Lockie Galvin. You know, the fullback's a good player. They've got a number of players...

But the hooker, Corrasau, is world-class. He is a world-class footballer. And they will have a few wins this year. Obviously, they're down the bottom of the ladder. And, you know, it hasn't been a great season for them. But, you know, they get Luai next year, maybe a couple of other players.

they'll be good next year because they've got some very talented young players in that club and they're going to take them a long way. All right, Darrell, it pains me to admit this to all of the listeners on Mark Piggy-Riddell's behalf. He was caught out last night. We have a cheat amongst us, Darrell. Excuse me? We have a cheat amongst us. Because I've rocked up to work this morning and found email after email from a trivia night...

Naming and shaming this low thing who was caught cheating at a trivia night. Good afternoon, Levy. Good afternoon, Gaz. No, it's not a good afternoon because you're a cheat. Good afternoon, big man. And we didn't even win. No, seriously, I don't see the point of cheating. Well, it was one question and I can't even remember what it was. And you obviously didn't know it. It was frustrating and I didn't know it. And what did you do?

Well, all the phones are supposed to go into a bag and sit on the table. So you pick one out. That's a bonus as well. After you finish, you just grab a phone. He woke up this morning and said, you're not Carly. Are you sure it was trivia night? That's my sort of trivia night.

So I had a little secret, not intentionally, but I had a little secret. Where's he going? I had a secret pocket in my jacket, and I showed you earlier the secret pocket that I did have. It gets worse. What happened to be in the secret pocket? Well, my phone. Secret jacket. So my phone was in there, and it was a donation of $20 to... Hold on, hold on, hold on. People were getting caught. Secret jacket, phone's in a bag, $20 donation. Yeah.

Where is this place? He sounds like a real Aussie male. Two phones. He sounds like he's playing days on a Sunday night. What an Aussie you are. Two phones. People were getting caught. I got caught, so I ended up giving them 40. I said, that's for next time you catch me.

It was a good night. Yeah, we had a great night. Raising money for the footy club, so it was good fun. Just on the Dragons, you love your Dragons. They're in action this afternoon against the Roosters. Big day for the Chooks. Jarrah Rehargreaves, most capped player of all time in the club's history. Do you give the Dragons a hope this afternoon? Oh, look, I'd love to see them give them a crack or have a crack because...

We all remember what happened on Anzac Day, don't we? Earlier this year after Timo and I spent time with them. I haven't spoken to them this week, so they probably should win. No, but off the back of that, I want to congratulate Big Jared. Obviously, I got to play a few games with him. I know him.

and what he's been able to achieve in the game and this milestone this afternoon. I hope they get a huge crowd out there and support him, support the big fella and congratulate him on what's a huge milestone for him. Now, Piggy, given you have known Mark Gasney a lot,

longer than Daryl and I. I feel the need for you to introduce the great man and just explain to our listeners what's transpired over the last 10 minutes as we've been preparing for the program, you know, when it comes to just lubricating the vocal cords. Yeah, okay, let me start off. Look, Gaz and I go way back. I'm trying to remember when we actually met. It would have been Australian Schoolboys days when we first played together back in 19...

It would have been. I'm pretty sure. Back then, Gaz was the knockabout, you know, from played for Renown, you know, night at Oatley Boy, surfer dude, plays footy as well. Gaz to your name. That was Gaz, right? The surfer dude, you know, knockabout. Well, he gets his opportunity for the first time this year, and he knows that we always film these videos for our socials at

Just before we go on air. And he was nowhere to be seen. And we had it on good authority that he was in there using the elite coffee machine. The espresso machine. The espresso machine.

But what topped it off, ladies and gentlemen, and you'll have to check out the video on our socials, he didn't walk in with a coffee cup. He walked in with a little miniature coffee cup. He walked in with a thimble. A little tiny shot, a shot of espresso. What a disgrace. Jeez, this bloke, he moved to the north side. Dare I say, Piggy, you've known him longer than me, but this man's become a wanker. LAUGHTER

Gaznia, good afternoon to you. How are you, Leafs? Thanks for having us back. G'day, Piggy. G'day, big man. What's been happening, champion? Oh, just been sipping espressos. Things have been busy, mate. Yeah, no, no, things are going well. It's despite what Piggy says. I'm still back in the grassroots arena, back at club level, but...

Things have been well. Still watching a bit of footy. Involved in a little bit of rugby as well with the game I've launched. But, no, things are well, mate. Family's well. Touch wood. Good stuff. Well, we're going to delve into a bit of Origin chat after the break, fellas, because the Origin teams are named tonight and tomorrow. Gaz, you wore that sky blue jumper once before. Before we get into sort of the talk about selections and everything else,

Talk to me about the opportunity the Blues have, and that is beating Queensland at Suncorp Stadium and creating a bit of history. Yeah, look, you know, we were the last team to do it in 2005 when we went up there under Ricky Stewart and...

And it was ironic that we trained all week for this preparation that everything's going to go wrong. You're not going to get a call. Things are going to go against you. As it turns out, we ended up going, I think it was about 18 minutes straight, we defended our line for, for the first 18 minutes. And I'll never forget that.

Lockie put a kick in. Anthony Minichiello scooped it up. We went 80. Someone flopped on him. We got a penalty. Took the goal 2-0, and then we ran away with it after that. But the point I'm making is it's different in the way that you have to be so ready for adversity because you can't hear each other on the field. Things are going to go wrong. Calls aren't going to go your way. And if you let it get to you, it'll affect your performance. So no doubt Madge will have them fired up. I think by all reports, their preparation has been really good.

I think the biggest thing in the past, historically, if you look over Origin, in my opinion, is that we've always tried to defend our way to victory. And that works in some stages, but you've got to get points on the board first. And I think we've missed so many opportunities with our execution. Game two changed all that. They executed really well. They had a lot more strike over the park. So, unfortunately, Luttrell, by all reports, he's out. That's a huge blow. Yeah.

In my personal opinion, I'd like to see Tommy go straight in there. I think he'd have a great combination with Zach on that right edge because Tommy naturally floats. I worked with him under Brad Fittler when we had Jack White in left center, Tommy Wright center in the origin. And he's such an intelligent guy. He...

He doesn't bullcrap. He knows what he'd be coming into. He knows whether he'd be ready or not. And if it was me and I was Madge and he said he was ready, I'd be going with him. Fantastic. All right. 131873 is the number to have your say. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well. 0460 873 873. And we're just seeing an interview coming through with Shane Flanagan on Fox League at the moment. I think he's shrinking, Darrell, Coach Flanagan.

Well, I actually saw it the other day. Jake's just towering over the top of him. Yeah, he's had an operation on both his knees because he was bow-legged, as you know. Right. Mate, it just looks horrendous. Aren't you meant to get taller when they straighten him up a bit? Well, I don't think so. I don't think that worked. He looks like he's standing in a hole. I'm just going to see him smile occasionally when he gets interviewed because he's actually quite a fun guy.

It's amazing. I mean, he's got this persona about him. He thinks he's Wayne Bennett now. He refuses to smile. Hang on, let's see if we can tune in and find out what he's actually saying. Here's Flannoy with Jake Duke. Yeah, the actual surface has got, you know, grass right across it, as you would expect at this stadium. But it is wet. There's a lot of grass that's wet. Yeah, great, great, great summation. Good insight. He's never going to live that one down.

That's the beauty about this show. You make a little mistake and it's highlighted for years and years to come. All right, we'll take a break. We'll come back with plenty more. OMG, when did Gaz get elocution lessons? He's just a very good talker and has been for a long, long time. Thank you, Billy. We'll take a break. Be back with more.

A judiciary update for Brighton's lawyers. Protecting your future when winning is all that matters. You need Brighton's lawyers on your side. Fair few charges out of the three games yesterday. Just the one player facing time on the sidelines. That's Jamin Salmon for dangerous contact on Tamari Martin.

Two with an early guilty plea. Three if he goes to the judiciary and is found guilty. Other players charged and will accept fines, you would think. Marcelo Montoya, Viliami Kickout, Jackson Ford, David Klenner, Appy Corousau and Luke Brooks. So that's a judiciary update, thanks to Brydon's lawyers. Just on the trip home yesterday, Darrell, before we get into origin, Greg says, Big Man, I'm intrigued as to how the drive home went with you.

the G-string yesterday. Well, Gale was a bit off his game, I thought, yesterday. Really? During the whole day, basically. But driving home as well, he was very quiet. I was surprised by him because, you know, normally he's just a jabber jaws and goes off. But we got caught in traffic for about half an hour trying to get out of Leichhardt. But he was very...

What did he do? What did he do, Big Man? Nothing much. He just sort of sat there and mumbled stuff. I didn't take any great notice of what he said. No, I wasn't listening. I turn up mostly all the time when he's on. But we did have the sat-nav going. He's at the

Sat and have sometimes are hard work too. I had no idea where we were going. And then we ended up on the M8, which I don't think I've ever been on. Oh, I love it. That's what I used to get here. Do you? Yeah, it sounds pretty good. Well, I've never been on it. Seriously, it was about four lanes. It was as wide as that. And there was no cars on it. Like we went from being in a traffic jam to getting on the M8. And then it was just seriously no cars at all. I've got no idea where we ended up.

And then somehow I just found my way home. He was just sitting and called up in the passenger seat saying nothing, basically. It was good. We had a nice little trip home. Good stuff. Now, boys, on to Origin.

We'll get your thoughts on New South Wales in just a second, but let's start with Queensland. Caelan Ponga is playing this afternoon, and the Queensland coach, Billy Slater, was asked whether he's in the mix for a Queensland State of Origin recall. Well, the first thing I'm looking at for Caelan is hopefully he goes out there and he's got a big smile on his face. He's Mr...

a whole heap of footy. It was great to see Tom Trubojevic back in the game. We want to see our best players playing the game. So hopefully he's fit and he's playing this afternoon for the Knights and yeah, we'll go from there. But

But, look, he's been a big part of the Queensland team for a number of years. Missed last year and was in great form at the start of the year. So he's just got to get back on the field and start playing footy. The other player that Billy was asked about on the Sunday footy show earlier today was David Fafita. Daryl, who I know you're a big fan of. This is what Billy had to say. Well, we picked the team this afternoon. You'll have to wait. I think he'll be on the bench. Yeah.

I'm just reading Billy's mind. Out of respect to, you know, there's a lot of players playing this afternoon that are in contention. Out of respect to everyone, it

It would be disrespectful to go out and throw names out there and say this guy's in the team, this guy isn't. To be honest, it doesn't get finalised until 6 o'clock tonight after that last game's finished. Straight bat from Billy. Straight bat from the coach. I don't think he had to play it that way. There's still two games to go. There's injuries. It could be more injuries. What are you thinking changes-wise, Darrell? I think Fafida will be in the squad. And I think if Pong, if he comes out and plays today and plays pretty well,

I'd have him in the squad as well. I don't know if I... I wouldn't have him in the team, but I'd have him on the bench. Because I... Remember his first State of Origin game? I think he played back row. Yeah, he came on. From memory. Might have played lock forward or second row. Yeah. And he killed him. He's a super player. And if he's fit, rearing, you know, ready to go... Last year, I think he pulled out because of the head knocks. He didn't want to play State of Origin. And the head knocks, fortunately for him, have sort of been pushed...

to the background a little bit. We're not talking about that. Admittedly, he hasn't played for about six weeks. Look, he's a quality player. If he's fit and available, I'd have him on the bench. He played lock in his previous role, remember? And he played like a traditional lock. He was a ball player. He was just their third ball player and carved up. Yeah, he's a good player. Mate...

There's one thing I know about rugby league. You can't have too many good players in your team. And he's a good player. He's an X Factor, isn't he? Kaelin Ponga. Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler, they were also asked about who they choose to replace Latrell Mitchell. Here are the boys. Bradman. Has to pick Bradman. Pretty much a like for like as in powerhouse, the way he plays on that left side.

And he's in great form, Bradman. Yeah, I'd go Bradman for sure, without a shadow of a doubt. Turbo looked a little bit underdone. I think he could play Turbo. It might take a while for him to get back into form. Pretty tough game going to Townsville. I've got to say, it's your first game as well with the heat and the quality of that game. But given Latrell's on the left-hand side, Bradman plays left. Burton Gellewin, he's a left-sided player as well. Sueli, he picked him in the first game on the right.

but I don't think I want to take Crichton away from that side. So I'm assuming that he'd go with Bradman. Yeah. Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns on the Sunday footy show. Gaz, given you were talking about Tom Trebojevic, I'm interested though. I mean, Daryl talks about Caelan Ponga. You talk about Tom Trebojevic. Is it a worry when you haven't had a lot of game time leading into an origin? Is that sort of going to play against them or not? It is if you don't know their personality. Like I remember Ricky Stewart was big on that too. You know,

you know, when he bought Andrew Johns even back from a knee reconstruction and only played, I think, one game and it was only 50 minutes, I think, leading in. If the personality has experience in that arena and they tell you they're ready, I would go off that, particularly given Tom's experience. In regards to that, I can see what they're thinking with the left and right, Freddie and Joey, with their comments, but Stephen Crichton plays left and right. He does left really, really well. Whereas Tommy and Zach, see, what I mean is it's a little bit,

Sometimes our attack, to be honest, is a little bit predictable. You can see where they set up what they're doing. If you've got Tommy that floats, he brings that X factor, as he did in Perth, all those times when he had great games. And Zach can fill in at right centre. Tommy can float on the wing. If he is a bit underdone, they can hop in and out. Nothing's going to be lost there.

I just think it gives us a bit more potency. And if you go up there to defend your way to victory, you're going to lose. What are you thinking Michael Maguire will do, Pingy? Oh, look, I've got no idea. No, because I understand everything Gaz is saying there. And I understand if we're all going to say, oh, Ponga's had one game back. And if he's going to go into the Queensland team, then there's no reason why.

someone like Tommy Turbo couldn't come back and do a similar thing. I'd be surprised if Bradman Best isn't there. They're probably the two picks for me. If I think back to Bradman Best debut for New South Wales, he killed it. He killed it. He broke game three last year, wasn't it? I think he might have been man of the match in game three. He scored two. Did he score two tries? I think he might have scored two tries. Yeah, he did. But it was a different arena. It was a dead rubber, wasn't it? Yeah. And he's going out with, is it Jeff Fennick's daughter? Yes. Yeah.

You've got to pick him then, don't you? I think you've got to pick him. I'd be picking him. Anyone going out with Geoff Fennec's daughter, I'm picking him. You're scared of Geoffrey, are you? A little bit, yes. Well, there you are, folks. There are the boys' thoughts on State of Origin, New South Wales squad name tonight.

and the Queensland team name tomorrow morning. 131873 is the number. Yes, Gaz, it's Tommy. Go with what Gaz says. He was one of the best, if not the best, centre we've had. Well said. That's from Tommy. I've been a Bulldogs member for over a decade, boys, and I've been sitting with the usual diehards right on the halfway, win, lose or draw, and boy, the mood has changed this year. We're now...

praying to get to Golden Point because we know Birdo will convert it to a win. I'd love the whole of New South Wales to experience this on Wednesday night. Should the Blues get the chance? Burton for mine for centre. That's from Chris at Agnes Banks. Hi, boys. If you want to get rid of the possum, you have to get a bright light. They hate them from Scott at Weddy. Well, I don't think we want to get rid of them because it was a cute little thing just happy to eat the pizza. Can they attack you?

Yeah, bloody hell if they can. Can they? They scratch the hell out of you. If you pinch their pizza, they might do that. I just, I was concerned for the possum. Because I was trying to call the game while it was sort of there. And then we...

It was there one minute and gone the next. I just hope they sort of didn't shoo it and it sprinted down the stairs and jumped off the cliff or something. Didn't take you as the animal-loving type. I am an animal lover. Big animal lover. And I feel sorry for possums. You know, we've got one that lives, I think, in our roof at home. Well, Darling reckons it does. She reckons there's a possum lives in our ceiling. So do you like possums? I hate them. I don't dislike them. I'm not a fan. I hate them. Why do you hate them? Oh, the

Mate, they make noise. Well, so do you. No, but they make noise when you're trying to sleep out the back. They ruin all the... Ruffle through the trees. Mate, they're disgusting. Let's face it, they're disgusting. Bring it inside. Let it have a comfy place in your room. You've got a four-bedroom house. I'm a man of the people, and I reckon the people of Australia are anti-possums. No. You're just there, oh, I feel sorry for the possum. I like animals. Who cares? It's a possum. They're everywhere. They're disgusting. So what would you do? They stink. They're despicable. What would you do? Put a gun to its head and go...

Is that what you'd do? If I had one. You're a disgrace. You are a disgrace. All right, here's a question for you. If a possum got up into your roof, you'd be happy for it to live there, would you? Well, I think it is living there, as I just said, don't you listen? Well, are you happy with a possum in your roof? I've never heard the possum in my roof, but Bev hears it every night. Bev hears it. Well, Bev's with me. Well, let me ask you, Mark Gadsden, are you with Daryl or against him when it comes to possums?

As long as they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone. That sounds like he's with me. I'm anti-possum. I'm with you, Levy. You're anti-possum. I'm anti-possum. 1-3-1-8-7. I'm starting the anti-possum party. What do you suggest they do? What do they bring to the table? Exactly. They're a nuisance. They're a pest. They're beautiful. They're not beautiful. They're disgusting. You are a disgusting human being.

We're disgusting. You're an animal hater. You don't have a cat. You don't have a dog. I've got a cat. It's not yours. It's Kevin, the cat. Yeah, well, you hate it. You hate it. You treat it like a dog. He's a cat lady. No, no, no. The cat with me is not by choice. I've just inherited it from him. He doesn't like the cat either. Sometimes he doesn't even feed it for weeks on end. No, rubbish. Of course it gets fed. I could feed the cat. I'm ringing RSPCA now. Let's go to Levy's place and pick up Kevin.

Let's get Brainy onto it when he gets back. We can bounce him. Current affair. I can see the headline now. Brainy, pussy hunter. Wouldn't they sell some? Wouldn't you watch that on TV? Record rating. Wow. All right. Let's open the lines. 131873, the number. Do you like or are you anti-possums? Because, look, they're there.

Anti-possums here from Rob. There's another one here saying get rid of the possums. We don't like them. Break back with more.

131873, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au. Tom says, Mark, what about Matt Thompson last night asking if the possum could be a baby kangaroo? Did he think to check out its back feet? No, he did say that. What? He wasn't sure whether it was a possum or a baby kangaroo.

He actually did say that. No. He's just off his chops. He's fitted in beautifully. Oh, Tomo. Are you serious? He did, mate. He's an educated bloke. He did not. He did. We'll probably have the audio of it if someone wants to. Hello, Andrew. Audio. Good work. He's onto it. Well, I'm sorry. I've just had a message from...

Darren Flindell. You should play David Fowler. Call when the possum gets into his commentary box. I'll see if I can dig it out and play it for you. 131873, the number. Mitchell's at French's Forest. Hello, Mitchell. Hello, boys. Big man. Look, I try and really live my life by your teachings, but look...

A possum in your roof is louder than a small nuclear weapon. Well, mate, I haven't heard... I haven't. I must sleep well, but I have not heard the possum in my roof, whereas Darling believes it. Maybe it just hangs around her room. I don't know. Mate, look, there's only one thing worse than a possum, and that's a cat, because cats are landfill. But anyway... LAUGHTER

Maybe, because your sleep apnea machine, does that make a bit of noise? Not a lot of noise, but it's a humming noise. It might, maybe I don't hear stuff. But I hear the dogs barking and stuff like that. Gary, you watch a lot of racing, and it must be a very difficult job learning the colours and, you know, working your way through a race. I don't know how they do it. What about when a possum comes into the commentary box? Here's David Fowler all those years ago at Albion Park. The head held low.

moves to its wheel. Third, the leaders back. Soho Aphrodite, one by one, as they go to the turnout of the straight. There's a possum in the box, can you believe it? I've never seen this in my life. Get rid of it, quickly. Oh!

Down the back straight they go. 700 left to run. And the leader, it was Lady Erica Lombo, shows the way. Second on the outside is She's All Attitude. Oh, get rid of it. Oh, get rid of it. Who's in there to get rid of it? You'd be the only one in there, wouldn't you?

Fancy Fowler. It sounds like, imagine Gallen, he was there yesterday. How was he with it? No, he copped it all right, but it wasn't attacking or anything. It was seriously sitting out the back of the box where you walk, you know, the walkway out the back of the box. And there was a pizza there that was opening the top of the pizza. But everyone walks through there, don't they? It didn't give a rat's. Really? 131873, the number. Andrew's at Picnic Point. Hello, Andrew.

Oh, hi, fellas. Yeah, look, I'm desperate for a pair of night vision goggles and an air rifle. For the possum? Absolutely. For several. You're living in the chimney. Living in a chimney? Are you Santa Claus? You got caught coming down last year.

I'm just not woke, that's all. I'm old Australian. Well, Andrew, you've got to be careful because while we're having a bit of fun, they are a protected species, believe it or not, here in Australia. So you've got to get a proper accredited removalist. And I've just been doing some reading while we've been talking about them. If you've got a possum in your roof, what they do, they come along and capture it.

You've got to take it over a body of water. Otherwise, it'll find its way back to where it's actually made itself home in your roof. I live at Cronulla. They might have to go to New Zealand. Tasmania. Take it to the St George area. I'm a sharky. 131873 is the number. Bill's at Balcombe Hills. Hello, Bill.

G'day, Levy. How you going, mate? Good, thank you, mate. Good, buddy. You should get an air ticket to New Zealand because there are officially pests over there, possums. Are there really? Yeah, when you go into the shops, you can buy possum coats, possum hats. But before you go, the best way to keep possums out of the roof is put a carpet snake in there because I was doing my work in the bush.

The flag had run on the roof. That's a good idea. It gets rid of the birds, the possums and everything. What happens if it crawls down the little area, you know, like the air conditioning vent or something like that and lands in the foot of your bed or something? Carpet snakes, are they dangerous?

No, well, they might be heading towards the car, but that's probably why they call them carpets. Oh, Bill, I'm fine. Good call, Bill. Thank you, mate. Appreciate the call. 131873, the number. Possums and bats. My neighbours have palm trees and bats go crazy at night from one of our listeners. I don't like bats.

Let me have a look here. Good afternoon, Mark, Mark, Big Man and Piggy. Mark, totally agree with your comments on possums. Installed fence spikes around my barbecue and pizza oven, but they still manage to crap everywhere. Have a great week, gents, from Scott. Hold on. What's he done? He's installed what? Spikes. Spikes around his barbecue and pizza oven. What a pleasant day. Don't laugh. I've got this family of possums that live near me, and I've got an old barbecue that's built into this brickwork in the backyard. I opened it to clean it once, and there was a possum in there.

You reckon I didn't jump? The possum's living in the barbecue. They get in your bins too. That's scary. That's not good. And you like them. You're defending them. I am. Would you like to retract your earlier statement? No. Did you say retract? Retract. No, I'm not retracting. The good thing is, big man, it's only a possum scratching to get in. Well, mate, the only time I hear them is when it runs across the fence between our place and next door in the middle of the night. I do hear that, but I've never heard them in the roof.

But Darling does. Have you heard the Make Love? Jeez, they're violent little buggers. I wouldn't mind seeing it. Really? Watch your teammates all the noise. This could go anywhere. Mate, they're violent. What? Violent lovemakers. It sounds like they're fighting, but you go outside and you realise that they're, you know. What have you seen of Make Love? Getting it on. You're the only person I've ever known who's seen a possum make love. You've seen it on the screen or you've seen it live? No, not on the screen, Gaz.

On the fence in my place. You Googled some weird stuff in here. No, I don't Google it. I'm just saying. Possum tube. You're disgusting. Here's Matt Thompson last night. It's looking straight at you, gal. Yeah, I won't be going. I'll be very careful. Are you scared of possums? Well, I don't really like animals like that. Yeah, I think I'll be doing my best to get past it. Are you sure that's a possum? It's not like a little baby kangaroo. I think it's a kangaroo.

Matthew, what's going on there? See, he just gets caught up in the moment. Tomo. Matt's the number one caller in the game. Is that a baby kangaroo? He's doing the Olympics. Imagine him calling that in the Olympics. There's a baby kangaroo out there in the swimming pool. We're off to a break. Back with more.

Brendan from Canberra says, boys, your favourite player is in action this afternoon for the Raiders, Adam Mariotta. Harry Hypance. Yeah, Harry Hypance. A few weeks ago. I hope he appreciates that. Put him on the map. Harry Hypance. Here he is, Harry Hypance, taking the ball forward.

Mark, just want to congratulate the Bulldogs, Warriors, Sea Eagles and Cowboys on such a great performance yesterday. Two quality games and I hope they all make the semifinals from Dave at Woi Woi. Well, just on the Bulldogs, gentlemen, Daryl, you're a former Bulldog and you can probably talk about the club. We've been waxing lyrical about the improvement in them and yet again, Matt Burton steps up and kicks the field goal.

Well, they've bought a lot of players over the last three or four years, haven't they? Probably the last three years. And a lot of the Penrith boys, and they started to have an effect on them. Look, they were pretty average last year, but again this year they bought some more players and I think none more than Stephen Crichton who's been a phenomenal buy for them. He's been sensational, not just for them, but

in the state of origin, he's been great as well. But, you know, you add to that, you've got Burton, Kickow, you know, they bought a number of them who were good players. The fullback's a good player. The boy they bought from Canela, Tracy, he's a good player. So it's all starting to fall into place. You know, this...

Look, I'm not expecting them to win the comp this year, but I am expecting them to make the eight, and they deserve to. They're playing good football. Their defence is great. They're still getting to know each other. They've got a new coach. He's still feeling his way. I think he's done a great job. They're going good. Well, I think the bones were there last year. I think they lost eight games by four points or less. Mm-hmm.

Kickout didn't play a lot either. He didn't play a lot, but now I think they've won two or three of those close ones and now there's starting to be a bit of belief there. Like, they scrap, they hold on, they know when the times are tough and obviously Stephen Crichton, I think he's probably had his best season to date given the team he's playing in. It's easy to kind of play well in that Penrith team, respectfully, but

he's gone to another level with his leadership at crucial moments in the game. And I think Reid Marnie was average last year because I think he's a good player, Reid Marnie, always have, but I thought he had a poor season by his standards last year, but he's lifted himself this year and he's getting in the face of them as well, which is good. He's become the big one, isn't he? That's another Mick Innes. Well, he is. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. LAUGHTER

But he has become that, hasn't he? But you know what? You need a niggler in your team. You need someone like that. You know? He's good at it. He's very good at it. Piggy used to do it for the six minutes he was up there. Jeez, there's been some revelations this weekend. Paul Gallen doesn't like Chad Townsend and Gaz don't like Ennis. No, I don't mind. He wouldn't mind me taking the piss. He'd take the piss out of me too. Cameron Serrato was asked about Matt Burton potentially being called up for New South Wales. Here's the Bulldogs coach.

He's ready. He's played on that stage before. He knows what it's about. And I'm sure if he's given the opportunity, he'll be ready to do the job. He played centre a couple of weeks ago, so it's not like it's that foreign to him from years back or anything like that. And he just showed his mindset in the last couple of games, how he's at the end of the game, he's not flustered by anything and he's just...

puts into practice what he's been doing at training. So, yeah, he'd be ready if given the opportunity. Yeah, the Bulldogs coach Cameron Serraldo. Now, coming up in the next nine minutes, we do that for Uber Reserve when you're heading out and can't be late. Remember, Uber Reserve, the hassle-free way to help you stay on schedule. Reserve now ride later with Uber Reserve. For the Roosters, Nafahu whites out. Ethan King joins the bench to make his debut in 18. Sandon Smith is the 18th man for the Roosters, while for the Dragons...

Raymond Faitala-Mariner is out due to back spasms. Luciano Leilua will start in the back row. And New Brown comes onto the bench in jumper number 19. Michael Molo, the 18th man. Roosters Dragons getting underway in eight and a half from now.

Jason makes a fair point on the text line. He says, boys, Mark Gasly sounds too intelligent to be on this show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Low base. Punch him. No, he's too intelligent. I've had to watch a bit of Parliament the last couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeez, they carry on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The poor old speaker. Order. And then, you know, all shaking in their boots. I'll name the member. Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. Josh is in Virginia. Hello, Josh.

Yeah, g'day, boys. G'day, mate. What have you got for us?

Oh, mate, possum story. This has gone back a couple of years. We used to live in a house that had a sunroom out the front. And we used it as a playroom for the kids. And I'm just watching TV with the missus. My little boy comes running in and says, oh, there's something out, you know, in the playroom. So I walked out there and I said, oh, there's nothing here. And my little boy points to, you know, those little couches that the kids use. There's a possum amongst all the plush toys feeding its baby.

And, you know, I freaked out and thought, oh, gosh, you know, what do I do? So we're ringing up, like, wildlife places and, you know, pest control even. And they just said, oh, just let it do what it wants to do. You've left the window open. It'll leave at its own time.

And, you know, I freaked out and went, oh, okay, maybe what, do I call an Uber? How do I get it out? How do I get it out? And they went, oh, you've got to put biscuits up to where the window is before you jump out. You know, we had to go to bed at that night with the window all the way open, knowing that there's a possum in his baby...

in our sunroom. Well, Josh, I've been doing a bit of reading and research on possums over the last 45 minutes, believe it or not. So what do you do, Lee? Well, everything I'm reading says that if you've got a possum in your roof or a possum in your house that you can't get rid of, best to call WIRES in New South Wales. I don't know whether they have the equivalent in Queensland, but in New South Wales, you call WIRES, they come along and put them in a cage and then take them back into the bush or over a body of water, which is what I'm...

I'm learning here about them. What's the whole over a body of water? Because they don't like water and they won't come back to where they... Could you put them maybe in a little boat and just push it?

We used to try to do that with Biggie with Maccas. It's a big ask to take it over a body of water. Yeah, what if you're out west? What if you go over one of those bridges down at Cronulla? What's that bridge? Tom Ugly's. Tom Ugly's or something. That goes over the water, right? Yeah. Might start running back over the bridge. Take the bridge around. It knows. It'll know. 131873, the number continuous call time.

Shake it off.

and a whole lot of fun. This is the Continuous Call Team. Well, we've opened a can of worms there, playing a bit of Tay-Tay on the Continuous Call Team. She's very, very popular. Welcome back. Next hour of the Continuous Call Team. Hannah's going off in there with the Tay-Tay stuff. She loves it. So is Piggy. Yeah, not my genre, I don't think. Genre? Yeah. What? It's just a song. It's not my genre of music. What, you don't like pop music? No, I don't like her music. What?

That's not my genre. I don't like it. So you don't like pop music? No, I don't like her music. Well, that's what a John Bershop music is. I don't like it. That's all right if you don't like it. Don't be a kid. Welcome back. Welcome back, everyone. Since when did we start playing bloody Tay-Tay on 2GB? You know what? Right now. Come with us, baby. I'm just going to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I'm sorry.

You need to shake it off, Piggy. I don't mind a bloke. Actually, can I just say that Pig loved his pop music when we used to travel down to Bulldog. Jeez, you're full of it. Mate, he was in top 20 hits. That was Piggy. What about Kylie Minogue? Was he keen on her stuff? No, it was Maccas and top 20 hits. Just a film clip, Pigman.

By the way, 4-0 Roosters have opened the scoring here this afternoon. Victor Radley opening the scoring for the Tricolours. So it's 4-0 with a kick to come. Roosters lead St. George of LeWarra 7-0 in the first half for Uber Reserve. And a really lovely touch, Piggy. You played with Jared, so I'll get you to comment on it. All the players walked out. They made a guard of honour for him. Some...

The 1974 side was there as well, and out came Jarrett, and he's got a big gold number on his back. Yeah, I think they've done it really well, haven't they, the Roosters? Obviously acknowledging what a huge milestone it is for him this afternoon. I tell you what, he set the tone for the game, didn't he, with that first crack on big Frankie Molo, and then he lined him up again in the same set of six, so...

Yeah, they've done really well. I love what you just said there. I love the gold number for him this afternoon. I think there's a gold rooster as well. So we see Sammy Walker slot the conversion. Rooster's leading six points to nil. He's got a gold rooster sewn in on the shoulder as well. So they've done a really good job. This has got shades of the Anzac Day here. Oh, don't. Sammy Walker that day kicked three or four kicks that led to tries. We've just put one through there off his left foot.

You know, it's not his preferred foot. Left foot, it was perfectly weighted. I mean, he's a super player, this kid. Who did you tip in this one, Big Mark? I tipped the Roosters like everyone else in Australia. Tipped the Roosters. Piggy, who'd you tip? Dragons. Like everybody else in Australia. You're an imbo. Gasly, I'd be going Dragons. Dragons, righto. I'm worried. I've got to bring something up about Sam Walker. I'm a little worried. I'm just looking there. A little worried about his hairline. Someone who's so young. Yeah.

Have you had a good look at Sammy's hairline? I'm not making a comment. A bit of cat's hair. And I'm pretty sure Sammy's only 21 or 22.

He might have a little bit to worry about. Like a young Craig Fitzgibbon. I think Jack DeBellin's got a bit of debit on the back of his head too. DeBellin's 34. That's all right. Hey, there's nothing wrong with receiving hairlines. They're in. He's 22, Sam Walker. Here he is. Jeez, he does. It is getting back at him. Just at those McDonald's sponsorship spots across the front there.

And it's a wet day, so that doesn't help either. By the way, later this afternoon, we'll bring you the Raiders and the Knights. Yesterday, Seagulls over Cowboys, extra time, 21-20. Storm beat the West Tigers, 40 points to 28. And the Bulldogs in Golden Point, extra time again through the boot of Matt Burton. They beat the Warriors, 13 points to 12. Now, just some breaking news from police. Two bodies have been found after a search and rescue operation in Sydney South.

At about 10 past 11 this morning, emergency services were called to Little Bay following reports of a concern for welfare. Officers commenced a search, locating a number of items on nearby rocks. A short time later, a body was found near the rock,

and about 140 a second body was found near the rocks as well. Neither person is yet to be formally identified and a report will be put together for the coroner. So this is a story coming out of Sydney's South Little Bay. Two bodies have been found after they went missing, I believe washed off the rocks earlier on this afternoon. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Jason says, Piggy, love your work and agree no Tay-Tay on the continuous call time. Thanks, Jason.

I think the majority would be with me, I think. I'm not so sure about that, Daryl. Yeah, I don't think so either. Why do you not... I don't understand. Look, you don't have to love her, but you shouldn't dislike her. Well, I just... I'm not a fan of her music. I just don't like it. Mate...

How many number one hits has she had? Would anyone know? Would you say she's probably had 30? But that doesn't mean I have to like her. But do you not like... Is there one song, is there any one song that you do like that she sang? No, I just don't like her music. I don't understand what you don't like about her, Piggy. No, don't. Hi, I'm the boy.

We're not going to do this, are we? No, I just think we need to shame you into liking it. No. Boy, do you play at home, do you? Sometimes. Especially you, Slidy. I used to love Celine Dion. Really? Yeah, he loves Celine Dion. He spokes a goose. He liked that. He used to listen to it before a game, too. It was weird. Really?

There's a whole heap of songs here, but I don't know what they're actually called, so otherwise I might just leave it. Anyway. I'm going to have to bring something up here. Go on. I'm not proud of this. You know, I had a birthday last week or whatever it was. I'm 68, right? 68, so I've been around a long time. Today I've learned of some product that's available that I've never heard of before. You got a kettle at home? Everyone's got a kettle, right? You got a kettle? Kettle? Kettle? Do you know you can buy a kettle cleaner?

Yeah. Really? Kettle clean. How? But what is it? I don't know. They're $6. I saw them on Amazon. LAUGHTER

So what is it like? Is it tablets or satchels? There must be something you put inside your kettle to clean it. I don't know what it is. What, is it a satchel that goes in the water? I imagine it is. I don't know. I haven't looked that close to it. I only just found out. We've got a thing called washing detergent too. That doesn't say anything. Well, mate, I'm telling you, there's kettle cleaners. But why would you need to clean it? Well, I can tell you why you might need to clean it. And this happened to me once. Went downstairs, put the kettle on, didn't fill it up. I might have filled it up without lifting the lid, put it through where you drip it in, right?

Had a cup of coffee. Then I went to fill it up, lifted the lid up to put the water in. There's a dead cockroach in there. LAUGHTER

So I think that gives you a good enough reason why, but I'm not sure what it is and how you implement cleaning a kettle and maybe you have to wash it out after you've cleaned it to sort of get rid of the cleaning stuff. You might be against me when I say this, but I don't think there's any point cleaning a kettle. Because it boils. Because you boil the water and it kills all the dirt and lime and everything else. Well, there must be some reason for it because someone's selling it. That's a raw daryl.

To ruin. To ruin. What about a pristine kettle? Yours is just cleaned a little bit from the boiling water.

Well, you can't clean it any more than boiling water. Obviously you can. $6 on Amazon. It's a rock, Terry. $6. Just because it's on Amazon doesn't mean it works and you need it. By the time you pay for delivery, it's like $8. It's only $40 to buy a new kettle. You're begging Jeff Bezos. Just buy a TG, Gaz there. The elitist, Gaz. He said just buy a new kettle. LAUGHTER

Mate, don't worry. I'm just going to pry it out. You're paying a quarter of the price to clean. Four cleans, you could have bought a new kettle. Mate, you just go down to Harvey Norman, mate, and get one down there. Speaking of kettles, what about the people? A mate of mine, he's just built his brand-new house. I went over to have a look during the week, and he said, what about the, oh, you've got to come have a look at the kettle. I said, mate, it's a kettle. He said, mate, you can see the water boiling.

It's a see-through lunch. I said, mate, I actually like those lunches. So you want to stand there and watch the water boil, do you? He said, I'm fascinated. I said, mate, you need to get a life. And as you get older, little things amuse you. I don't mind watching water boil. I'm not against it. There's some weird things that I like watching that fascinate me. No, don't go there. You don't go there. I love watching pressure cleaning.

Bigger pattern? I've made this statement before. I've got a pressure cleaner. I love watching people pressure clean. Because you like seeing the dirt go. The dirt go, yeah. I just love that pattern. Do you have your own one? Yeah, I've got my own. Big one, powerful thing. It's never been used. No, no, no. I use it all the time. Karcher. We love Karcher. Petrol power. Make sure you don't get it on your arm because I cut my arm one time and nearly went to hospital. Darryl, I need to issue you an apology. Please do.

It says here... Okay, we'll do it. Wait for the apology committee. According to Dr Google, you are required to clean your electric or stovetop kettle every one to three months, depending on how often you use it. Well, I've never done that, but... And can you find out what actually... That's a stovetop kettle. Yeah, what is a stovetop? Well, that's the old school. But an electric one as well, it says here. So...

Anyway, there you are. And what is a kettle cleaner? Can you put that on Dr. Google? Well, Andrew's just brought it in for me. Is it Breville Kettle Cleaner? Yeah, that'll do. Is that it? The Breville Kettle Cleaner will remove scale, build-up and stains in order to help revitalise your kettle. At 100 mils of kettle cleaner to 1.6 litres of water or approximately 60 mils per litre, blah, blah, blah, boil it.

and it's clean. But it won't fix cook cockroaches. Fix what? Sorry. Cook cockroaches. Cook, cook, cook. Well, see, that's a good point. You should... I mean, I'll bet there's a lot of people going and checking their kettle at the moment. Have you ever found a cockroach in your kettle? No, but to be honest with you, I don't boil the...

the kettle much. If at all. Well, what's the point of you having a kettle if you don't boil it? Well, my wife boils it for cups of tea, but I don't drink tea. I use my coffee machine for my coffee, so I don't use the kettle. Dragon's elitist. And the water. Another one. It's another one. Well, you've got a coffee machine. Mate, I'm a barber from Penrith in the old days. Speaking of having things that you don't use, how often have you swum in the ocean? Do you live on the beach? Since when? We need to investigate this. Since you've lived where you have lived. At Cronulla? Yep.

Okay, well, I've been there. I think I went there in 2010, so that's 14 or 15 years, and I've been in the ocean twice. LAUGHTER How long have you been in there, Kenny Perry? LAUGHTER I don't know, I'm trying to think of a surfer. Well, I lived in... Kenny Perry. You're thinking of Katy Perry? Did you say the surfer? Kelly Slater. LAUGHTER

Yeah, that'll do. Kelly Slater. Kelly Perry. Kelly Slater. I know what you mean there, Darragh. I lived at Coogee for 10 years and I'm like virtually on the beach and I never stepped foot on the beach. Never went in the water. Really? Never. You know, Mr Adonis, you weren't walking around your Reds Grundies or whatever you do and go surfing and whatever. You know, with your G-string on and you're surfing. But us three, like at whatever

What about you, Jabba Jaws? Well, I do go to the beach. And what do you wear? Well, I just wear boardies. Wide fronts? No, boardies. But I have found, and I've been down there six years now, I think, seven years. I'm finding every year I go to the beach less and less. Really? But I do go a lot, but that... Is that because it requires effort? Well, no, it's only around the corner. I've literally got to walk 100 metres, but...

I think it's like anything. You just get used to it always being there, so you just don't go. I'm going to make a statement that's going to be controversial on this Sunday afternoon. Here we go. You're big on these. You outraged by anything? No, the beach is overrated.

It's more of it going to the beach than going into it. Because you get sand everywhere. I can't disagree with you. You've got to get sand in your car. You get sand in bits of your body. How do you get sand in your car? Because you don't get all the sand off when you go to the beach. Well, buy a house near the beach. What do you mean? Well, then you just walk. Who's the elitist now?

When I go down to Shulavan Heads, they've got the beach up the road. So, you know, if I've had a few drinks the night before, I'll go down there and jump in the ocean and then get out. Mate, I don't know what it is, but wherever I go, there'll be sand all of a sudden. Back in the house, in the car, everywhere. Mate, you've got to wash yourself off. I'm anti-sand. How often would... Seriously. I don't...

I can't believe you even go in the beach, go to the beach. Why not? Because you don't know each person. You can't visually see that. You're like a snowflake. LAUGHTER

You'd just melt. Even on a day like today, you'd get sunburned. I do. I go in a cool room and get sunburned. Can you run us through what you wear to the beach? You wear the big hat. I put my borders on and I put a rashie on. I make sure I wear a rashie because it sucks your guts in as well. I wear a hat, but then I take the hat off to go into the water. What about cream? Are you a sink man? I can't see without my glasses.

So that's problematic for me as well. When you go into the ocean. You can get those connections that go down your back. No, I'm not wearing a full outfit. But then you've got to apply the sunscreen. A bit of zinc. Can I ask about your eyes? Why don't you get contacts? No, I don't like the idea of putting the contacts in your eyes. Can't do that. Really? But it's an effort going to the back. Just a quick update. Jared Rea-Hagre's just got sent for 10 minutes. Did he really? He did. He did.

Oh, no. So predictable. 8-0 in his milestone game. He's gone for 10 minutes. 8-0 Roosters leads St. George and LeWarra. 17 minutes gone in the first half. What were we talking about? I don't know. Mark Levy going to the beach and what he wears. Kettles. Can you read what a kettle cleaner is again for me? Is it like a salty thing or what is it? Yeah, so it's a solution that gets rid of...

a build-up of scale, build-up and stains in order to help revitalise your kettle. And so do you boil it? Do you put it in and boil the kettle? Yeah, so you put it in, bring the kettle to a boil, let it stand for 30 minutes, clean the spout by using a soft cloth dampened with Breville Kettle Cleaner, rub well, then wipe off. I'm going to use it in the shower next time I'm in there. Darryl!

What? Clean that little crevice. 131873, the number will take a break. 8-0 Roosters leads in Georgia Lawara. And we've had 17 minutes of play in the first half. We do that for Uber Reserve.

Back around the grounds. We do it for Uber Reserve. Shane Flanagan not too happy. Eight and hell roosters leading the Dragons. Oh, he's brilliant. Kyle's not getting dinner tonight. It was blowing up at that kick from Kyle. Wow. Story from Dean Ritchie in the Telegraph. Under pressure Queensland coach Billy Slater has panicked.

by cancelling a traditional Origin Media Day where players can be interviewed by media to promote the state of origin decider in Brisbane. The Telegraph's been told the NRL may pressure Queensland into altering their decision. Both states traditionally hold an Open Media Day just after team selection where journalists and broadcasters can secure interviews with all players. It's accepted as being the biggest pre-match day for vital media interviews.

Queensland held their media day at Suncorp Stadium before Game 1 on the Monday and in Toowoomba as part of the Fan Day on the Tuesday prior to Game 2. New South Wales did it out at Sydney Olympic Park. Well, Queensland has now abandoned its full media day before the July 17 decider and will only ask two nominated players to front up for press questions on Monday at Suncorp Stadium. Darryl?

Yeah, it seems a bit strange to me if they've done it forever and ever and ever. It seems a big decision for him to cancel it.

No idea why he'd do it. That's probably an indication that he's going to go with some changes. Doesn't want to put them up. Interesting. 100%. Yeah, and you know what? The NRL probably will step in because the media is part of promoting the whole thing. Plus, a lot of the main broadcasters get their stories. They get a good four or five chunk of stories while everyone's in the one place. They roll them out later in the week. And you knew when you went into camp. That was just part and parcel of it. Yeah, I think the NRL will make him do it.

I think they should make him do it. I think he should be doing it. Out of interest, Gaz, when you went into an origin camp, were there certain journalists you didn't want to talk to and then they'd sort of make a beeline for you and be like, I'm not talking to you. You know, there was a lot you didn't want to talk to, but at the end of the day, I think once you got a bit older, you realised they were doing their job. Yep.

and you got on with life. But when you were younger, I think you probably took things a bit more personal. You held grudges and it was a bit different. I've still held some grudges. I think we all do. I think some just do it better than others. I was just Googling. I was just thinking, Daryl, off the back of the kettle cleaner, some of the great inventions and some of the more stupid inventions over time. I'll start with stupid inventions. There's a goldfish walker.

That's for sale. Well, that's ridiculous. What? A swim. How? Yeah. It's something you put in the actual tank of the water and the goldfish swims into it and you hold onto it and it's just like you're taking a goldfish for a walk. How much are those, Jim? That'd be something I'd buy. It doesn't give me a price. There's a DVD rewinder.

So it's some project that rewinds DVDs. There's a diet water. You can buy diet water apparently somewhere. A banana slicer. So just stupid, stupid things that people have invented. But then, I mean, here's a question for you. In terms of things that you use every day, what would you rate as some of the greatest inventions of all time? The toilet would be up there. I mean, whoever invented the toilet's a genius. Sir Crapper or whatever his name was. I think a toaster's important. I like a toaster. Toaster? Telephone?

Computer? They're right up there. They're a bit out of my league. As I've said before, technology's passed me by. I'm over technology. You seem to use it. I just don't worry anymore. You use your betting apps, okay. Yeah, I use them fine, but I'm an expert at that. See, I'm an expert at that. I can use my phone okay and my computer for what I want to use it for, but other stuff, I've got no idea. What are you using your computer for? I use my computer for a lot of stuff. Okay, fair enough. Emails. Do you still sit at a computer desk like...

At home? Yeah. I've got a large computer at home as opposed to a laptop. Oh, so you've got like the old school big desktop. Just something probably not as big as that TV we're looking at there, but not far, much smaller. What's wrong with that?

That's a cinema. What, do you find there's something wrong with that? Is there something weird about me having a computer at home, a desktop computer? Okay, why are they selling a million of them every year, you imbecile? Well, a lot of people probably go to the laptops these days, I would assume. Yeah, but I've got a laptop and I plug it into screens in my little office. Yeah, I do the same. Well, why are you questioning me about having a screen? I'm with you, Dale. I've got a desktop. I think desktops are good. You know what? It's a little nook and cranny to get away from the...

Family. You've already got your own room. No, that's not in my man cave. That's in my computer room.

Mate, we've got four bedrooms at home. There's two of us living there. We've got four bedrooms upstairs and downstairs. I've got a computer room. I've got my little TV room. Bev's got her own room. We've got a barley hut up the back where there's a TV. There's a lot of good stuff going on. It sounds like, Darryl, you might need to move out. Why don't you lease a couple of your rooms? If you want to lease it, then I wouldn't have any privacy. Lease a couple of your rooms.

Place a couple of your bedrooms out. Don't walk around in the nude when you've got people living there you don't even know you're in Basile. Do you walk around in the nude often, Daryl? Occasionally. Really? Well, there's no point in not doing it. You know, sometimes I just feel like being... What do you hear from Darling Bev's lounge room when you walk past nude? LAUGHTER

My neighbour's got me this morning, actually, in the half nude. What? Well, my shirt was in the... I did some washing the other day and I put it in the dryer. So I had a shower and I was, you know, starkers. I thought, I'll just go downstairs and get my shirt out of the dryer. So you had nothing on. So I've walked past the kitchen and where the kitchen side door is, looks over the neighbour's place and old mate was practising his golf swing in the little golf simulator thing he's got in the backyard and...

He just gave me a little wave. I said, sorry about that, champion. You're completely nude. Oh, yeah, I was pretty close. Were you embarrassed by that? I was very. I went red. I was very embarrassed. What about your face? 131873, the number. Well, if you've got some stupid...

and some great inventions that you use at home or you've bought on the internet or something along those lines, let us know. 131873, the number. I haven't given away any signed jerseys or show bags this weekend yet, so we might give a few away this afternoon. So let us know some of the best and worst inventions you've used over the years. 131873. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well. 0460 873 873. 14 minutes left, first half.

Roosters, eight dragons. Now we are the continuous call time. 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. Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve. The Roosters have skipped out to a 14-0 lead over St. George-a-Lawarra. Still 12 to play in the first half at Allianz Stadium. 14-0 Roosters lead St. George-a-Lawarra as we take you around the grounds. I don't know how I feel about this message that has been noticed by Mark Gassneyer.

My friend's dad takes a leaf blower to the beach and he de-sands the grandkids before he lets them in the car. Mate, I think it's a great idea. There's no problem with that, is there? You know they've got showers at the beach. Well, don't go to the beach. We know that. I just don't know how I feel about grandfather standing there with a leaf blower. Yeah.

Yeah, but they're probably those little ones, mate. Say three of the grandkids standing in front of the car and he's... You can picture their cheeks. Just to get rid of the sand, Daryl. I don't have a problem with that. They don't need it, though. They could just go to the... Once they've been to the beach and had a swim, they just walk up to the showers, they have a shower in the cold water, then they wash their feet because usually they've got the half shower so you can wash your legs, and then you dry yourself and you get in the car. Couldn't he dry them with the blower thing?

Wouldn't that dry them? The towel might have sand in it. Oh, my God. You blokes and sand. That's what old people do like me. There's nothing wrong with sand. Can I bring in now? Oh, that's for you. You like sand. I've got no issue with sand. What do you use it for?

Nothing. Just sand, you use it for nothing except through an hourglass. Sand castles. Sand pits. Don't do it on the beach. Don't do it in old mate's car. Can we bring in our great mate Brad Fittler, please, from Channel 9's Wide World of Sports? He does a bit of walking on the beach from time to time, and I'm sure he's got a view on this. Hello, Freddie.

G'day, gents. Mate, we're talking about an old bloke taking a leaf blower down to the beach, and when the kids are finished on the beach, he just stands there and leaf blows the sand off them. Your thoughts? It's not appropriate. Thank you. Thank you. Why is it not appropriate? Old blokes and leaf blowers, they're not in the same sentence. LAUGHTER

Have you got a leaf blower? Yes. Of course you have. Leaf blower's my best. I love a leaf blower. Freddie, this afternoon, the game on nine, the game with us as well on the radio, Raiders and Knights. These two teams sort of, one went outside the top eight, so it's an important one, bit of origin speculation around a few players as well. How do you see this one panning out?

Yeah, well, from a club point of view, 10 teams at the moment within four points, and that's fourth position to 13th. So you want to stay in amongst that group or get to the top of that group as quick as possible. It's becoming very tight. And these wins, you know, against those teams in the same area become crucial. So...

And, you know, obviously Newcastle getting Kalen back is a huge boost. They lose Adam Elliott, which is a bit of a loss. But I feel like it's theirs to lose the Knights. Hey, Freddie, do you like Will Price at six? He's finally getting his opportunity.

Yeah, he was great last week. I think, you know, apart from the fact, obviously, he just brings a little bit of spark. A lot of the way he sort of dished off the ball. So between him and Fletcher Sharp, I thought, I don't think I've seen a game where the centre's got so much early ball. And I think it was no surprise Bradman played so well if he just

I don't think I've ever seen a centre get as much good ball as Bradman got last week. I think it's just the fact that you've got a young full-back and a young 5'8 who are quite happy to give them the sort of more superior player, I suppose, from a point of view of experience, giving them the ball and supporting. So hopefully Caelan noticed that because I thought it was a real bonus for the Knights that their centre's got early ball and gave them good opportunity.

It makes a big difference when they play a bit more ad lib, unstructured. Fred, what about the Raiders? Gutsy effort last week against the Storm, but then they've had some shockers in between. What have you made of their season so far?

I've never seen a game last week where a team made so many... They just made errors, unbelievably. They couldn't catch a bomb. A couple of times they saved tries, but they were penalised for high tackles on the tackle prior. They couldn't have made it any harder for themselves to win that game last week. And then they're playing Melbourne and defend their line. I think, what, they give up 16 points, is that all? Yeah, they gave up 16 points. It was incredible. So...

You know, if they come with that same attitude towards defence but improve their discipline, then it looks like they could beat any team. Mate, you would have heard about this, and I don't know whether you made any comment on it, Ricky blowing up the other week about the referees and the six again calls. I'm paraphrasing this, but I think he basically said, I think they're guessing.

I actually agree with him. I've got no idea what half I'm a fool. What do you think? Well, it's hard because I think the idea is that we don't slow the game down. And the idea is that we don't allow teams. What was happening there for a while, I think, through the, you know, let's say the five years prior to that, teams just got very good at defending sets, right?

So, you know, sides like Melbourne and Penrith, you know, just got so good at defending lines and, you know, slowing the game down so it wasn't as Gaz was talking about, just off-the-cuff style of play. And then the game got terribly boring. So...

I feel like what they're doing, they're just keeping the game as quick as possible. It's a shame you can't stop the game to see sometimes what they'll do on the six again for because I think that's the frustrating part is they just, you know, you don't know actually, you haven't got time to digest what the penalty was for but...

You know, in the times I've watched the game and sat in reviews at the league and sat in the bunker, most of them are legitimate. And if they weren't a six again, they'd be a penalty, which would mean slowing the game down and stopping the game again. So, you know, I've got to say, obviously, coaches are under a lot of pressure. And when they see things like that happen, and especially against their team, I think it's quite easy to throw around comments like that. But, you know, at the end of the day, I think we all agree that the footy's pretty exciting at the moment. And, you know, if...

I think everyone focused on their own jobs, then I think their team would do better. It's a good point, isn't it? Because I think it decides... From my opinion, it's the most important thing moving forward with Rugby League, whether you try... Because Freddie's spot on. It was a boring game. It was dominated by Russell. It was predictable. But...

When we try and manufacture and bring in more rules, I think we put more problems on the referee that create split decisions. Whereas I still don't think we've experimented enough with the fatigue factor to go back to a bit more limited interchange and then the space will naturally open up. But I think if we keep manufacturing the game, I think we're in for some trouble.

Because exactly like this, like Rick. I think one of the things over the off-season, Gaz, was the big thing when the game changed a little bit, they didn't give the teams enough time to practice. And I think that's one of the reasons why we're getting so many injuries. They're talking about, you know, the amount of efforts, high-speed efforts players are making now.

Those rules, there was a lot of rule changes that were made in January that affected that part of the game. And what's happened is clubs weren't able to train that over the preseason. So I'm assuming that will change over the next couple of preseasons. Clubs will change the way they actually train and they'll train more towards how the game is. Yeah, fair enough. One last one, Freddie on Origin. In your view, who should replace Luttrell in the centres for the Blues Wednesday week?

I would bring in Bradman. I think I spoke before.

He's been giving a lot of ball lately, some great ball last week. I thought he was fantastic. He did a great job last year. Coming into Game 3, I just feel like he most likely was going to be the centre. He was injured before the first game. So I feel like Bradman most likely. I'd love to pick Tommy. I just didn't think that one game mightn't be enough. Yep, fair enough too. All right, mate, we'll see you on the telly this afternoon, buddy. We'll catch you soon.

Have a great day, lads. See you, Fred. There he is, Brad Fittler, one of the good guys of the game. Freddie will be on Channel 9 this afternoon covering the clash between the Raiders and the Knights to wrap up round number 18 of the National Rugby League. Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve. Five minutes left in the first half. 14-0, Roosters leads St. George, Illawarra. 14-0 the score. Quick call from Sid at Stafford Heights. G'day, Sid. Yes, g'day. How are you? Very well, thank you, mate. You've got the best innovation for us.

Well, I reckon the best thing that you could use in the kitchen is a potato peeler. We use a plastic potato peeler every day of the week. It's the best thing you could ever have. Yeah. Not bad. That's a good one. Has anyone ever invented, and I'm going off on a tangent here, like an electric potato peeler? Like one that, say it's a little, like a little jar, and you just put the potato in there and it just gets bounced around and takes the skin off? Like the apple peeler. Yeah. Well, the same sort of thing. I mean...

I agree with Sid. Sid's a great name, by the way. I love that name, Sid. I agree with you. I think it's one of the great inventions of the world.

I thought of another one. What? Yeah. The garage remote. Automatic garage remote. I like it. I like it. Very good. Don't have to get out of your car in the garage. What about the TV remote? Yeah, what about that remote? Oh, I used to be the TV remote. Oh, so was I in the old days. Mum and Dad. Get up, change the channel. Why are they so aggressive towards you? But it used to be my job. Bugger of a kid. I hated that being my job. Being the youngest, I suppose you had to have that job. That was the job. And the aerial. All right, well...

Do you remember that? The TV aerials. I was the youngest of four boys. I got all the crap jobs. The aerial, that's right. I was trying to tell my nephew the other day because he was whinging about his internet connection in Brisbane. And I said, mate, back when I was growing up, we had to connect to the internet. And then if the phone call came through, the internet would drop out. And remember the noise it would make? The dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong.

So he's like, what are you talking about? The internet's just there. And I said, no, you had to connect to it. Computer games, you used to have to load them. Yeah. And they would load on the Commodore 64 and it'd tick over. The old Atari. The Atari. Did you guys ever have ICQ, the chat thing where you talk to your mates from school? ICQ, and they go, uh-oh. No. No. There was your leaders now. Must have missed that one. We used to have to do the old 9570 to ring your mate. Yeah.

Yeah, they're all the little chat platforms. So you'd have all your mates as friends and then when they were on air, we had the little green flower thing and you'd talk to your mates and then you'd have the group chats and all that sort of thing. Oh, yeah. They're like Messenger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like a Messenger. So I'd go into my bedroom and pretend that I was studying or doing my homework and then mum and dad would hear the, uh-oh, you're talking to your bloody friends again. Anyway, we're off to a break. We'll come back with more.

Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. There's some terrible details coming through in relation to these children that have died as a result of a house fire. You'll hear more about it on the news tonight. The Telegraph's just put a story up about...

the children being barricaded in the house. So I won't ruin our Sunday afternoon by sharing the details with you, but put it this way, it's terrible. Terrible news. Or an awful story, and one you'll hear more about at 6 o'clock tonight in our news bulletins this afternoon. 131873 is the number. Best inventions, the toilet roll.

Because before that, you used to rip up the local paper and stick in the outhouse. Yes, I'm old from rust. You blokes wouldn't remember that, would you? No. So run us through it. Well, there was a toilet that was outside your house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was up the back of the house. I remember that like at my grandparents'. And it was like, I don't know, two metres by two metres, just like a little house, basically, with the toilet in there. And then you didn't have, like, it didn't go down the ground when you didn't flush it.

You had like a big bucket underneath where you sat, and every once a week the toilet blokes would come and empty it, take it away, empty it, and put a new bucket in. That's true. What a job. What a job. Gee, you'd be dirty if they forgot to come and pick it up one week, wouldn't you? You'd be dirty if you spilled it. You'd throw sawdust in there. Well, after you finished, you'd throw sawdust in there. Really? I don't know what that did, but you just did it.

But, mate, that was when I was a kid growing up. That's exactly what happened. We used to get the milk delivered in the old days. Yeah, I remember that. We got the milk delivered, but there was toilets that just weren't flushing toilets. They were just buckets underneath where you sat. Imagine when you were crooking that. Gas. Mate, we used to have, in my day, we'd have a big furnace up the back where you'd throw your rubbish into a... Burn it all. Burn it all off.

So you didn't get your rubbish picked up like we do today? No, not like that. I'm trying to remember what happened in those days. They must have picked rubbish up at some stage. They would have had to have some disposable method. But in the old days, we would actually throw it into the furnace and Dad would...

Would burn it. Burn it all. Speaking of heat and fire and everything else, we were talking yesterday while we were at Leichhardt. I loved fire. 14-6, by the way. Roosters lead Dragons. 14-6 just gone half-time at Allianz Stadium. And, Piggy, I think you're right. I think there is a receding hairline on Sam Walker. He's even pushed his hair down for the interview, I think, to hide it. But we were talking yesterday about television. And if you put a burning fire on the TV, people will sit around the TV and...

and think that it's actually warm. It's just a... Who was saying that? Myself and Daryl.

Mate. What a lot of crap. It's not crap. It's true. See, you young elitists would have real fires, obviously. But in our days, we didn't have that. We didn't even have TVs. Did you see the video that Paul Gallant tagged us in last night? So this is what people take this show literally, right? So a bloke was listening to this show yesterday with his son. He found his son underneath the pool table with the blankets over the pool table. He had his phone on the ground with a fire burning.

with some marshmallows on a stick and he was holding them over the top of his mobile phone. I see what you've done to people. What have we done? You're kidding. What have we done? Mate, you blokes are idiots. Why would you put a fire... Hold on. We're idiots. You're sitting next to a fire on a screen thinking you're warm. Well, yes. It works. It doesn't. It does work. It gives you a feeling of being warm. It does, mate. Gentlemen. It gives you an ambience. I wouldn't feel warm.

It makes you feel warm inside. Mate, it's true. So you're saying, right, so if we take a TV out and it's zero degrees at night, plug it in and we sit there, I'm going to feel warm watching this. So do you feel like you're playing football when you watch the football? Absolutely. Well, can I ask you this question in Jabbers? Jabbers? Jabbers. Jabbers. Jabbers.

What's the point of having it there if it doesn't warm you up? What's the point of having flames on your TV if it's not doing anything? A smooth, calming sensation. No, and it keeps you warm. No, it doesn't. The only thing that keeps you warm is the heater or a jumper or clothing. It warms your cockles.

No. It's ambience. A shot of whiskey or something like that might warm you. It's just mind over matter. You blokes need to get on with it. I want you two to try it tonight when you get home. You've got the kids sitting around. I'm not going home and putting a fire on my TV. Put it on the fire under it. Just put it on the TV and give it a go. I've got a real one underneath. I did it last night, Darrell, when I got home. You had a go. Beautiful. Yeah, thanks. I had the best night's sleep ever because I was relaxed and warm. Did you have to turn it down a little bit? It got too hot? Yeah. I turned the volume down. I think you're going to turn it down. Well done, mate. See you.

He turned the brightness down. It's like that bloke who just blow a vax his kids, his grandkids, to get them in the car. That's smart. That's a smart way of getting the sand. There's nothing worse than having sand in your car. So you're saying the smart way to get warm is to put a fire on your TV screen? No, if you don't have access to a fireplace or something. Oh, please.

So now it changes. Move the goalposts. If you've got a fireplace, you use a fireplace. Move the goalposts. But if you don't have a fireplace like you two elitists. You buy a jumper. How many have you got? I've got a fireplace. How many fireplaces have you got? One. How many have you got? One. How many TVs have you got?

Oh, no, six or something. Now, there you go. Put a couple of flames on there. You won't need the fireplace. Piggy, cost of living crisis. Yes, exactly. What's that got to do with it? People can't afford to run their fires. Electricity's way cheaper. Put a jumper on. Put it on the TV. Just try it tonight. Trust me. It'll keep you relaxed and feel warm inside. Here's one from our man. Hi, lads. I put an aquarium on my TV screen as a backdrop and now I feel wet. See, it's true.

It's true. It's another win for us there, Lee. Well done, Greg. Big Willis will get his fishing rod out if you put the aquarium on the television. Anyway, we'll take a break. 14-6 Roosters lead Dragons. Halftime at Allianz Stadium.

Half-time at Allianz Stadium, 14-6 Roosters lead Dragons. That takes us to the Sunday footy quiz for Lowe's Menswear. $150 Lowe's digital gift card to be won. We give you three audio clues this afternoon. Once you've got all three, you can give us a ring on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873. Here is clue number one. The sort of player that will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes for the team. Penalty.

Penrith Panther, New South Wales Blue. One of my favourites. That will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes for the team. If I was to give you another clue, he's got two first names. Yeah, and he's a maniac. Yeah, he's a maniac. So that's your first clue.

Do you like that, Gaz? Give a little audio clue and you get a guess. Outstanding. It's original stuff on this show. Really good stuff. Thank you very much. We've got a few... Sorry, you were saying? Innovative. Innovative. Oh, wow. Mate, drop off on the big word. Let's whip through a few of these best inventions. Aaron at Guy Mea Bay. G'day, Aaron.

How are you going? Good, thank you, mate. What have you got for us? Oh, the Air Fryer, mate. Oh, yes, the Air Fryer. That's a ripper. I'm a big fan of them. They're great, aren't they? They get to work out at my place, the Air Fryer. Best invention ever. David at Avalon. Hello, David. Hello, guys. The bidet, mate. I put one in for my father-in-law. He was in a bad way and it changed his life. But listen to this, right? So, you know, when COVID hit and toilet paper was a bit scarce? Yes.

I was laying in bed with the missus and I got a tap on the shoulder. I thought, oh, here we go. And she goes, we're not going to play this toilet paper game. You need to put a bidet in. No. Wow. I've never had the, well, the luxury of using a bidet. It's an experience, I hear. It is an experience. Very weird at first. So just, does it blow water in your bottom? Is that what I'm talking about? Yes. Yep.

I wouldn't mind trying it. Hey, I reckon you'd love it, though. Is it possible you'd like to sit there for 10 minutes? There's some where you can squat, others you sit. The poor B-Day, if you sit on it. Can you adjust the temperature? Mate, if I don't want to squat, I'd end up just falling down on it. I'd get a bit of a stack up my blood. LAUGHTER

You can have the screen up top with a little fire flame on it. That would keep you warm at least, wouldn't it? Is it temperature-controlled water? Well, I'm not sure. What does it matter? No. Well, I think it matters a lot. No, it doesn't. It's water going up your clacker. Warm water. I'd rather it warm in winter than cold. What about if they're down in the South Pole or something? The ice cubes in the... Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Continuous cold team.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund.

And a whole lot of fun. This is the Continuous Call Team. ♪

Welcome back. Next hour, the continuous call team on this Sunday afternoon. 14 points to six. The Roosters lead St. George, Illawarra as the Dragons attempt to get over the line through Zach Lomax. But a kick goes nowhere. Just looking at these jerseys, it must be pretty wet underfoot with all the rain in Sydney town. So 14 points to six. Roosters lead Dragons. Five minutes left in the second half. And coming up in an hour from now, the game that we'll call for you, the Raiders and the Knights.

in Canberra. Hudson Young's out for the Canberra side with groin tightness. Adam Mariota starts in the back row. Emre Guler comes onto the bench. Adam Mariota, it sounds like something I should be putting on the menu. That's Harry Ipen. Sebastian Chris is the 18th man while for the Knights, Adam Elliott is out. Matt Croker will start at lock and Jack Hetherington is the 18th man. And Tyson Frizzell, boy, he's playing his 250th game this afternoon. Knights Raiders, really intriguing game, Big Man. What

Which way are you sort of leading in this one? I tip the Raiders, but to be honest, only because of the home-round advantage, if that is an advantage. I think it is. You know, it's a big trip for the Knights.

I don't know. Look, I've found nearly every game this weekend tough to tip, but I just tip the Raiders on the basis of a home ground advantage. What about you boys? Gaz, who'd you tip in that one? Yeah, look, I'm leaning towards the Raiders. I think when they get it right, they're a better team. Whether they get it right is the big question, but I'll back them big. I've tipped Newcastle. Ponga back in. I like Will Price at six. I've tipped the Knights. There was a bit of rumour and speculation that Ponga might not play, and...

he's definitely playing and he might be in the Queensland team being named tomorrow morning. So we'll wait and see what happens there. As far as the games last night that were played, a couple of golden point thrillers with the Bulldogs getting home to beat the Warriors, 13-12 off the boot of Matt Burton. The Storm beat the West Tigers 40 points to 28 and manly.

Golden point win over the Cowboys, 21 points to 20. And that ladder for Ducks Hot Water, built stronger to last longer, is certainly starting to hot up the race for the finals anyway, as Gaz pointed out earlier. So plenty of interest in that Knights Raiders game. Knights 11th at the moment, Raiders 12th. The Dragons are in Knights, so if the Dragons can win this game, they'll go into the 8th.

But as far as the Roosters go, a win for them. They'll leapfrog the Sharks into third spot on the ladder. So that's the way the ladder looks at the moment for Ducks Hot Water. 131873 to have your say. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460.

873-873. We've got clue number two for you in the Sunday quiz for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. We've given you number one. Here is number two. What we've got to avoid is everyone pumping our tyres up. We've got to understand that consistency is key. Yeah, he happens to be the coach of the Warriors. Yes. Clue number two. What we've got to avoid is everyone pumping our tyres up. We've got to understand that consistency is key. Somebody said to me during the week, you make...

With those audio clues, Levy, on a Sunday, you give it away with your clues. And I said, well, I'll try and give everyone a chance to win. Try and make it easy, Dave. See, that's the sort of guy you are. Try and open it up. Giving, giving, giving. Yeah, well, he is... Like, it's going to be... When he opens his restaurant, it's going to be beautiful there, and you just...

All the way up to people. I'm sure the service will be top of mind. He hates possums. I do hate possums. And he's going to put fires on the TVs at the restaurant. I think it's a good idea. I just saw, did you read that other one out there before? The Neil at Pyrmont. No, there's one here. I can't see a name on it, but it says, Hey guys, I've just put the TV fire on and it's that cold it went out. LAUGHTER

Beautiful stuff. Now, Piggy, can I sort of piggyback, pardon the pun, off the back of your trivia night last night? Look, I put my hand up on Ben's show during the week and said that I have cheated in a trivia night in the past. There's nothing to be proud of, Levy. Well, I think if people aren't willing to put their hand up and admit when they've made mistakes...

That says a lot about them. And I'm prepared to say that I think just about every Australian has cheated at a trivia night. I think it says a lot about you that you've cheated at a trivia night. I think that says a lot about you. Not necessarily. It says a lot about you. What do you think, Pete? No, because I cheated as well. It says a lot about you. So Jabba Jaws over there in the corner, so what you're saying is you've never cheated at a trivia night. No, I don't think I have. In fact, I don't think I've actually been to a trivia night for 10 years.

It was actually very enjoyable. I enjoyed it. It is fun. Don't they take it seriously, the people that play them? Ours was a very relaxed sort of atmosphere. Mate, I've hosted a few trivia nights and I've had people come up ready to throw punches at me. Oh, no, there's none of that. Seriously. All of ours were all just... We were all having a drink and everything and it was a bit of fun. How many were there, you reckon? Oh, there was...

I think in excess of 100 or so people. Okay, so good crowd. Decent people. And everyone dressed up because, well, I didn't dress up, but most people dressed up. As what? Well, they just had a colour. A colour that they had to. Why didn't you dress up? I'm not a dresser upper corner guy. Oh, mate, it's not true. Tell the truth. No, I didn't. You had a colour. And our colour was silver. And it was, I was about to say something, it was crap. Silver. Silver was our colour. So you've rebelled.

So I didn't dress up. So you're happy to be let into a pub on Mad Monday with arseless chaps on in a dog collar, but you won't wear silver. I was 25 then. Yes, no issue. Now I'm 40-something. Yeah, right. It's just not my go dressing up. But where I'm sort of going with this is trivia nights, right? Yes. So there's the sort of sporting and night trivia nights, relaxed ones. Yeah.

Then there's the pub trivia nights. Proper. I've been to pub trivia nights where there are professional tables of trivia players who go from pub to pub. And I suggested this to somebody and they said rubbish. I'm telling you, there are the same people in the same teams that go and play trivia every night and scoop the prize. So like a pool shark? Absolutely. Like a trivia shark? Hold on. What are the prizes? Like, what do you win? Sometimes there's decent ones, isn't there? Cash. But how do you stop them from cheating at those nights? You know, the ones where there is a quid involved. But they're not cheating.

They just know the answers because they're that intelligent it's not funny. But how do you stop them from having your phone on them? Well, I suppose you can't. You can't. Phone's on the table.

If you put them in a box. Or in the bowl. But I'm prepared to say that the majority of Australians would have cheated at a trivia night. It's just the thing to do. I don't think it's a thing to do. Do you really take them that seriously? When you get nothing right like me, because I'm hopeless at a trivia night. How would you be hopeless at a trivia night? You know everything about everything. I had one last night that's come to memory and it was one that I cheated with. And it was, can you name...

The baby in The Hangover. What was the baby's first name? Good question. And it just annoyed the crap out of me that I'm thinking, I've watched these movies a hundred times. Henry? No. Carlos. Was it Carlos? It was Carlos, I'm pretty sure. I would never have said Carlos.

That was what they called him, Carlos. Tyler, a.k.a. Carlos. Yeah, Tyler, a.k.a. Carlos. Very good. So I found that out. Well, I'm intrigued. People out there, listeners of Australia and listener land, trivia nights, what are your experiences? Have you been caught cheating? Were you embarrassed to be caught cheating? Because, Piggy, when you were caught cheating, were you just sitting at the table or have you gone to the little boys' room? So what we did, we actually had one of the phones on the footy.

Hold on, hold on. You just said you had to put them in a bag. Yeah, you're supposed to put them in a bag. You're supposed to put them in a bag. So what table are you on? Can you stop it? No, no, no. It's a bloody local trivia night. Why did you cheat? No, there's an issue. Because I wanted to get that answer. There's an issue here, gentlemen. There's many issues. You didn't wear silver. You refused to hand your phone in. You're watching the football.

ball on the phone. We had the footy on. We had the footy on because I wanted to watch the footy. You should have been disqualified for being recalcitrant. So when the lady said, oh, we've got a cheater, I put my other phone, my phone back in my pocket and then I grabbed the phone that had the footy on it and I was like, no, just watching the footy. Just watching the footy.

And then I put it back down and I paid the money. And then I paid him more money and I said, that's for next time you catch me. See, at least when I cheat, I'd go to the toilet, you know. Well, that's what I was doing as well. Oh, so you cheated multiple times. The boys would be like, oh, there he goes. He must need to know an answer. The plot thickens. So I either went to the bathroom or I'd say, boys...

It's my shout. I'll be back in a sec and I go out and get another shout. While I was at the bar, like pretending to pay, I'd be like, Google, Google, Google. Get to the schooners. How many phones do you have? I've got one phone.

Well, how come you put one in the bowl and you had one in your pocket? No, no, no. That was my mate's phone. It wasn't the bowl, Darrell. It was the bag. I don't think he's telling the whole truth. Nothing but the truth. I shouldn't have even brought this up. Mate, you started the show by saying you only cheated once. Now we've found out it's multiple times. Now we've found out there's two phones. It was pre-planned. If you're not going to put it in the bag, you know what you're doing. I knew exactly what I was doing, Gaz. Right. Now's your last chance. Come clean. What else did you do wrong? Don't put that lolly in your mouth.

Come clean. What do you mean do wrong? What did you do that wasn't legal? What classifies as wrong in your book? No, no, no. That was it. That was the only time. We didn't even win anyway. The prizes were crap.

Well, to tell you the truth, we played those as well. We played those games like as an intermission where, you know, you get the coins and you throw them. Against the wall. But it wasn't against the wall, it was against bottles of alcohol, right? And I forgot a week or so before it, I cleaned out my alcohol sort of cupboard with all the bottles of whiskey and scotch and everything because I don't drink it and I donated it to the club. So,

So I went up to the table and got my change thinking I'm going to go play this game. And then I saw it and it was my alcohol. So I walked back to the table and sat down. I'm like, oh, I'm not playing this game. You sound like you didn't really enjoy the night that much. No, I did. I enjoyed drinking, having a beer. The trivia was just nothing. Trivial. I've Googled a few trivia questions, right? Can you give us a couple? I'm going to test you, right? Because I think.

If I was to put up a betting market, right, and I'm sure the listeners would be with me on this. Phones in a bowl. Give me your phones. Give me your phones. I reckon you, Gaz, will be all over this. No, I'm terrible at trivia. Really? Yeah. I've forgotten a lot of stuff. You know what? It's like when you watch Tipping Point on Channel 9. It's on Channel 9. I love Tipping Point. My friend, Bev, she's so good at it. Nails it. But if she went on it, I reckon she'd poop herself. Ha ha ha.

It's so easy from home. The pressure under lights. Exactly. It's easy from home, but it's tough up there. All right. Anyway, what's this? Are you ready? Have we got like a buzzer? You know, like is it movies or is it politics? No, no, no. Is it geography? I'm just going to give you a couple of genres. I'm taking $1.50, Gaz. Are you ready? All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's play Continuous Call Team Trivia.

You can buzz him with your name. Okay. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa hangs in what museum? Gaz. Yes, Gaz? The Louvre. That's crap. He lived over there. Too good. He lived in Paris. I live in the Louvre at home. No, you're on a bidet now. Actually, here's a good one. Which country is the largest in the world?

Gaz. Yes, Gaz. Russia? Two from two. He's on fire. Now, isn't Russia a continent? No, it's a country. It's a country. Isn't it a continent? Okay, just a question. I must be wrong. Who is considered the father of relativity? Gaz. Yes, Gaz. Albert Einstein. Three from three.

Piggy would know that relative to the emotion. No. I'm trying to find one that you guys would have a clue of. Just for those people playing at home and listening to us across Australia, when I ask these questions, the blank look on Piggy and Daryl's faces is hilarious. What happened to you being top 5% in Australia? Well, I was, but I've got to hold. I've forgotten stuff. What is the only food that can never go bad? I'll just put something in my tea.

Sugar. No, Gazz. Milk. Yes, Gazz. Honey. Thank you very much. Milk can go bad. Hey, what about rock salt? Yeah, what about rock salt? Well, that's not on my answer sheet. No. What about vintage wine? I'm just having a look here. You're a pretty ordinary host, to be honest. Well, no, I'm trying to give you an idea. Here's one. I'm putting you can buzz in on this one, Levy. Yeah. It's from Ben, one of our listeners. Yeah.

How many parking spots are there at Pronto? LAUGHTER Drop off, Gaz. We hammer him about no parking at Pronto, that's why. All right, well... It's a good question, Ben. What about an entertainment question? Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf are all characters in what animated movie? I didn't know this. Piggy, come on. You got a daughter? Gaz. Mate, you're hopeless. Yes, Gaz? Um...

Three seconds is up. Far out. I can see it in my hand. Frozen. Yeah. Frozen. Yeah. I never watch that one. Well, this has been riveting stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much. You're giving the crap questions, mate. Make your questions easier. Well...

It's all slanted towards Gaznia. All right. Can you two stop eating lollies while we're on air? I'm not. There's nothing left. The last time you opened your mouth, you had a bloody strawberry in your mouth. One of those little things. That's a fruit. Okay, okay. Give us one more and this decides it. One more. Winner takes it all. Ever. Winner takes it all. Oh, I've lost it. Here it is. Okay, here we go. What is an eight-sided shape called? Big Mac. Yes, Big Mac.

Octagon. Yeah, big man. Your name's not big man. I win. Octagon. Well done. That's it. Very good. I knew I'd win. The questions were way harder the other night. Oh, were they? Way better too. Okay, well, I've just Googled trivia questions. That's what's come up. 270 fun trivia questions and answers to rule game night. There you are. 20 points to 12. Roosters lead Dragons. 15 gone second half. We do that for Uber Reserve. We'll take a break. Be back with more.

The Nitro National Rugby League franchise based in which city? You can do better than that. Fair dinkum. Just recapping that team news for the game that you'll hear with us on the continuous call team. For the Raiders, Hudson Young's out with groin tightness.

Adam Mariotta, Harry Hyepant starts in the back row. Emre Guler onto the bench and Sebastian Criss is the 18th man. While for the Knights, Adam Elliott is out. Matt Croker will start at lock. Jack Hetherington is the 18th man. Tyson Frizzell playing game number 250. 131873 the number.

2gb.com, 4bc.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. 18 minutes gone in the second half. 24 points to 12. The Roosters leads in Georgia Lawara. 24 points to 12. Boys, I listen all the time. This one from Paul. Like everyone, I love David Morrow and miss him terribly on this show. With David's blessing, I reckon Mr. Gasnier adds the class Mr. Morrow brought to the team. That one from Paul. Could never fill those shoes. Well, it is classy what you've added to the

the team this afternoon. Intelligence. The use of big words. Passion. Have you known everyone since they were kids? That would be perfect. And how's your wronging? He's still spinning the wronging, you know. Is he? Still throwing them. Saw him on Friday and even though he's

He's not in a good way. Randomly, out of nowhere, he would just...

Roll the arm over and bowl it wrong. A little googly. It was amazing. How good. Didn't he call you a big oath or something? Yeah, big oath. 131873 is the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. Should we play a little thirsty highlight? Yes, I think we should. We love them. It's his birthday on Friday too, everybody. For those people who don't know, we've probably said it.

Mark, but I think he turned 71? Yes. Yep, that's right. All right, well, here we go. A little thirsty highlight. He loves the game of cricket. This is the day we debated middle stump. Here we go. A continuous call team 2020 highlight. I was playing cricket as a kid and one of the boys decided one day to be really funny to put chewing gum on the bales when they set the stumps up. The bowlers knocked middle stump right out of the ground and the bales were still connected to the stumps.

The umpire wouldn't give the batsman out. If the middle stump was knocked out of the ground, I'd say the umpire could say that the wicket's been broken. But if the middle stump hasn't been knocked completely out of the ground, I'd say that the umpire's within his rights. If the wicket's broken and then you want to run someone out, you then have to pick the stump up and hold the ball with that hand. No, but if the

Which stump, David, do you have to pick up? If the stump's out of the ground, the wicket's been broken. Which stump, David? Well, he said the middle stump in this case. All I'm saying to you is, I think if the stump was clearly out of the ground... Which stump, David? Well, they said the middle stump. He said that.

Jeez. Jeez, Aaron was annoying in that day. I still think, though, one of the greatest lines ever when it came to Davey came from you, Piggy. It was the day that he was... So Davey was going in to get two new hips and obviously you've got to go under a general anesthetic and all that sort of thing. This is what Piggy said about Thirsty. Is there any truth that when they wheeled you in to the anaesthetist that you started telling her stories and she fell asleep instead? LAUGHTER

That's your best. That's your best. The first person to put the anethonus to sleep. Get that on the carve-up.

Oh, that's the best. I could have. Oh, too good. You know what he's worried about after those hip, when you did both hips at the same time, that he came out and had the wrong legs on the hip. Yeah.

His right foot became his left foot. So they were both looking at each other. What about you, though? As soon as he came back from his hip operation, Davey wanted to race him around the office. So Daryl and Davey are chasing each other around the office. Laps around the office. He's a great man. A great man. In the meantime, we better do this. Now.

It's time for PointsBet's new NRL experience. Imagine what you could be buying instead. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Yeah, George Rose is our man from PointsBet. He's actually at the Roosters game where they're leading 24 points to 12 over the Dragons at the moment. G'day, George. Hey, boys. How are we? Made very well. What's the atmosphere like out there? What about Jarrah Ria Hargreaves? He certainly set the tone early.

Mate, it's fantastic. How good is it? A milestone game for Jarrod Warrior Hargraves and he gets sin binned doing what Jarrod Warrior Hargraves does best. I absolutely loved it. Mate, he's a good man and one of nature's gentlemen off the field as well. That takes us to the Raiders and the Knights. Canberra $2.20, the Knights $1.67. Sticky really throwing everything at the wall with the Raiders running in 12th position. Plenty at stake here. Who are you tipping? I've got the Knights. I think the Knights are...

The Knights have looked really good the last few weeks and I think that they can put on a good performance again. As James Tedesco races away to score a try here for the Roosters. So it's 28 points to 12. That's for the kick to come. 28 to 12. Roosters lead the Dragons as we take you around the grounds. What about your same game multi, George?

Well, my same game multi on this one. I've got the Knights head to head. I reckon the total match points are going over on this one. I want to see a few points scored and I've got Calum Ponga in his return game, any time try score, and Tyson Prezell any time try score. Really good value same game multi there. I've been doing all right too on my Sunday Arvo tips, so...

Have a look at that one. Mate, you've been on fire. $14.60 for the Knights to win head-to-head. Over 46.5 total match points. Caelan Ponga, any time try-scorer, and Tyson Frizzell, any time try-scorer. So $14.60. George, we'll let you get back to the footy, mate, and catch up next week.

Thanks, boys. Have a great one. Well done. Have a beer for us. That's George Rose from Pointsbet. What are you really gambling with? For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. And James Tedesco, there's nothing better, boys, watching him in full flight in the races away. Peaky to score a try. Yeah, they did well there. It was off a ricochet off the head of Debellen on the last play.

Lindsay Collins dived on the football, got up and just played on and put Tedesco away. Tedesco ran away and scored. I reckon Debellen head-butted that on purpose. It almost looked like he braced, didn't it? I think he did, mate. Yeah. I think he did because I don't know. I think you're not allowed to do that, though, are you? I don't think so. Well, the referee was still saying it was last tackle. Yeah.

Good work from Collins and great work from Tedesco. He's had a great game. Here's Sam Walker converting the try. He pilots the ball in between the uprights. 30 points to 12 it is now. 30 points to 12. The Roosters lead the Dragons. 16 and a half minutes left in the second half. This is another one that will make you laugh. Thirsty on the whole debate whether you drive up to Canberra or down to Canberra.

A continuous Coltine 2022 highlight. So if you're driving from Brisbane to Melbourne, you're driving down. Brisbane to Sydney, you're driving down. Brisbane to Canberra, you're driving down. Correct? But Sydney to Canberra, you're driving up. As you're sitting in Melbourne, you'd be driving up too. So Dave, are you standing by that comment?

Sorry, what? What did they say? No, no, no, he's got me there on the Brisbane altitude. Brisbane what? Brisbane altitude is 300 to 1500 metres.

Some mounds are taller than others. So Mount Coother would be... Oh, yeah, right. Mount Gravatt. Mount... I still would have thought 300 metres, when you think of where the river goes and it goes into Moreton Bay, it seems a hell of an elevation compared to where the sea is. But given what Daryl just put to you, do you stand by the comment...

So you're driving everywhere else you're driving down, but when you're driving from Sydney to Canberra, you're driving up. You stand by that? I was making the point that you're either going up, as in going to a higher altitude, or you're going to look at the map and say, I'm going down or up compared to the map. I feel like producing one of Daryl's up, up, up, up, up.

What would you say about going to Melbourne? What would you say about going to Melbourne? Going up to Melbourne? You're going up to Melbourne or down to Melbourne? Just going to Melbourne. I don't use the downer up because from a very young age, I realised that some of it is very wrong. Oh, you're smothering me. No, I'm not. Mate,

I lived up at Walker. You just used up. It's a lot higher than most places in New South Wales. He just says you moved up at Walker. That's up. You used up. He said you don't use up or down. But, Davey, Davey, Davey, just calm down, right? So if I'm going to use the way in which you're thinking about this, right, so technically, yes, Canberra is higher than Sydney, but Melbourne is also higher than Sydney. So does that mean that you are going up to Melbourne when you fly to Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup? Well, if it's high, yeah. LAUGHTER

I love it you never rob me. That's a bouncer. I'm just saying it's not... You're annoying. Davey, I hate to do this to you. You got a cookie, man? Yeah, I've got one here. Here you go.

What about a... Come on, Dave. He would have been sulking in his corner. He said, I don't use up. He said, when I go up to Walker, though, it's different.

He used to sit where you sat, Gaz, and he'd be on his mobile phone. Oh, day. Head down. Just got a message from Orb. Got a message from... Who were his mates? Orb. We miss him. We miss him.

30 points to 12. Roosters lead the Dragons. 14 minutes left in the first half. A tap-on from Jennings into the hands of Tupou, and he's going to improve the position and score another try. So 34 points to 12. The Roosters lead the Dragons. 14 minutes left in the second half. That's with a kick to come. You're listening to the Continuous Call Time.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund.

Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve, 36-12, Roosters leads in Georgia Lawara. Still 12 minutes left in the second half. 36-12, Roosters leads in Georgia Lawara as we take you around the grounds. Gaz, one of your big fans is listening. She's on the email here saying, boys, can we find out what Mark's up to these days? He mentioned that he's doing a few things away from footy and still involved in the junior clubs. What's he up to?

Well, you're involved in a sort of an offshoot from rugby union. Is that how I'd describe it? I still coach my oldest son's boy in rugby league. But yeah, I've started a non-contact game. It's predominantly more rugby, but it's a bit of a hybrid. But it's a model in around the transitions kids from the non-contact into the contact over a progressive period. So obviously with rugby, the rules are a bit more complex. There's a bit more of a stigma around head knocks, etc.,

So, yeah, we officially rolled that out with Rugby Australia on the 20th of July. Wow. So it's been going around Australia as a pilot program. A lot of clubs are running it. The community clubs have been great. There's a lot of goodwill there, and that's why, you know...

It's tough because I see why rugby gets bagged. I see how it is boring as well. You know, I played both and I tend to agree with that. But there's so much goodwill and good people in the clubs. It's been quite enjoyable getting back. But foot's still in rugby league. As I said, my oldest boy plays both, but he's a very keen rugby league kid. And he played against Piggy's boy actually in the trials. So in terms of rugby union, because the Wallabies had a win last night over Wales. It wasn't the most entertaining game from all reports.

but do you see a light at the end of the tunnel for rugby union? Oh, look, I do because only because I understand the game globally. I played in France for two years. The game globally is powering. You know, they signed a 2 billion euro TV right deal in France. The first division, second division and third division are all professional.

So it couldn't be better in the Northern Hemisphere. But in the Southern Hemisphere, and because we're a bit more open to open games like rugby league, then it's a lot more of a tested market. So New Zealand and Australia is such a harder market to crack. Then you've got the Northern Hemisphere controls the game. So rules that could be implemented to open the game up and make it more attractive are blocked by the Northern Hemisphere because it doesn't really suit them. Right.

They're in a rock and a hard place. I think, you know, the Lions Tour is huge for them. The World Cup's huge for them in a financial point of view. But I think, in my personal opinion, there's still a lot of stuff they need to change from a structure point of view, grassroots, to make it a lot more... give the kids a lot more opportunity and a pathway system because it's a bit fragmented at the moment. Yeah, the other issue that we're getting complaints, especially on weekends, is...

is the kids can't go out there and play sport at the moment because they're just getting washed out. Yeah, we've had... I mean, Piggies Boy probably a bit. So we've... I think we're six from 12. Wow. Games. Yeah, we're similar. Everyone's in a similar boat, aren't they? Just can't get on the fields at the moment. It's disappointing. Yeah. One of the things I was talking to Gaz about, and I don't know if we want to talk about this topic or not, but...

And I've spoken to a few people about it. Maybe the New South Wales Rugby League need to look at some sort of spring or summer leagues for Rugby League because kids aren't playing sport in winter. They're getting half a season. There's six games at the moment. We've probably only got, I think we've got three games left and then the finals. So they might get 10, 12 games all year.

Maybe the New South Wales Rugby League needs to introduce some spring leagues or gala days in the relevant associations so the kids can play more football. And to be honest, I reckon another age group since post-COVID, we went to, it used to be when Piggy and I were playing 15s, 17s, 19s, President's Cup, Reserve Grade, First Grade. Best pathway ever, I reckon, because there was a place for everyone, no matter what age, to hop on and hop off and potentially succeed.

Whereas now you look at it, they don't go till 16s, I think now is Matthews Cup. 17s. 17s, there you go. 17s is Matthews. 17s, 19s, 21s. So you get a lot of these kids in between those age groups. You could have a development squad where they play post-season in the 15s and they play, even if it's just Sydney-based, Queensland-based, so there's not a financial strain on the club.

Obviously, you've done well with what you're doing, the TriTag thing. Are you interested one day in sort of becoming like a sporting administrator? Is that something that interests you? Yeah, that's why I got out of the media, Leaves, and that's what I wanted to do. Yeah, so I tried to do some... The reason I ask you that question is, and I've never asked you this, just for those people listening at home...

I don't understand why the NRL or Rugby Australia or one of the football codes wouldn't be ringing you up. Given you present well, you speak well, you know the game, you've played both, why wouldn't they have someone like you involved? Look, it's got to align with... Like, I'd probably... You know, when I look at the NRL, and I was critical before I left in the media, and Graeme Ennersley is in his role, et cetera, but I think there's so many things that league could do to make it so much better. And one of them is...

Everyone, you think of every organisation that has a large broadcast deal, we still rely on volunteers. It's just not fair. You know, League has the resources, the money at hand to put the resources in place in every district, in every area, to have like a coach development officer and administration officer that helps with the administration and the coaching of kids.

So then a volunteer becomes a true volunteer that turns up, goes to the canteen, gives their time on that. The rest is done. You shouldn't have... Volunteers are giving 30 to 40 hours a week these days to keep the clubs alive. And what it's done in guys like my dad that gave 50 years of their life to volunteer for a club, they're gone.

The maximum life you've got now is between two and five years because they are so burnt out. And then that makes a churn rate with the kids too. So they don't hang around as long as well. And because we're going with the contact path, there's going to be other kind of innovative ways we need to reintroduce kids at different stages to keep them in the pathway.

So I think there's so many things that could be done there, whereas it's a bit too traditionalist and it's a bit fragmented as well that the states don't like the governing body. There's obviously a lot more of that in rugby than rugby league. But yeah, look, I do feel like Piggy will tell you and you guys as well, being involved in the game for so long, you definitely feel like you've got to give back. But it was funny, the more I looked at it,

do you give more as an administrator or do you give more at a grassroots level if you can change that grassroots level? I think that has a bigger effect on the game than what you're going to have as an administrator. Well, Andrew Abdo and Peter Volandi's listening to this show. If they're listening this afternoon, ring me. I'll give you his number. Ring him. Get him in for a conversation because he's a very intelligent operator. Mark Gasney joining us here on this Sunday afternoon. Good stuff. 36 to 12. Roosters lead Dragons. Six minutes left in the second half. 36-12. Roosters lead Dragons. We're off to a break. We'll come back with more.

Mark Gazis, far too smart for this show and both games. There's a danger, though, he will be bromanised at some point. Yeah, I can bring him down. Just spend a bit of time here, you'll be a gibber as well. You've got most of them. Nearly all of them. I have the best one of them.

You know, like, if I think back to the late, great Mike Gibson, right? So this veteran sports journalist respected by everybody. You know, by the end of it, he was a complete gibberer. He was bringing up random topics. Morrow's the same. Yeah, Davey. He ended up a gibberer. I'm trying to think. Well, Richard Callender was always a gibberer. Malcolm Johnston, complete gibberer. Gordon Bray, the respected voice of rugby.

become busy, you know, all that sort of thing. He's talking about drinking cognac at a spa. Yeah, he does that at Christmas time. Love potion. You know, there's chipperers everywhere. Let me see if I can find the Gordon Bray clip because it's still one of my favourites. This is how loose we got it. Oh, here we go. Here we go. In the Olympics.

And he likes a drink, Gordie. So when we went to London, the day before the Olympics started, we had one day to sort of go and see the sights and do whatever we wanted. And Gordie said, come on, Lever, we're going to have a pint down at the local pub down the road from where the hotel was. I think we got there at two in the afternoon. We were walking back to the pub along the Thames at about two in the morning.

And Gordie said, don't worry, I've been around the traps long enough. We'll just sneak in. We'll go to each other's rooms. But no one will know we've had a big night. We got back to the hotel. There was a fire drill. Fire alarm had gone off. So everyone's standing out in the car park. And Gordie says, well, that didn't go to plan. Anyway, this is from Gordie.

I took my troubles down to Madden Woo. You know that gypsy with the gold tattoo. She's got a pie down on 34 and 9. And seven little bottles of love potion number 9.

He's one of the greats. This is one of the most respected ABC commentators of all time. Seeing love potion number nine. What did we do to him? By the way, question number three or clue number three in the quiz, $150 Lowe's digital gift card to be won. Here it is. Get a look at those Speedos. They are unbelievable.

You can shop online all there at Lowe's. So Sam Walker just watching the clock count down. That reminds me of the day that he took

the ball and then ran in the wrong direction, to try and run down the clock. So he moves in, he strikes it, he goes straight over the black dot and full time, they've won by 42 points to 12. The Roosters 42, the Dragons 12 in the milestone game for Jarrabaria Hargreaves and Big Marne. The Roosters, they are cruising for their crack at their premiership in 2024. Well, I think they've now won five in a row. I think their next five weeks, they've got two buys.

So they are flying. And then they're playing good football. It took them a while to get there, but they're finally starting to click. I've said it all year. I think on paper they've got the best side in the comp. They're going to be awfully hard to beat. Well, everyone was so shocked last year, you know, whereas Joey Manu, you know, know him today. And they're still, you know, look at the Roosters game. No Swalee. Yeah, exactly. So they can only get better. Their attack's brilliant. They probably test defensive lines more than others.

I mean, the only thing that gets them into some trouble is they can go a lot of errors back-to-back because they play, I guess, off the cuff a little bit and so expansive. But defensively, Sam Walker looks playing with full confidence. Keery looks good. Crichton. Yeah, Crichton's on fire. He's probably the form player in the competition at the moment. He was so good in origin and good again today. And Teddy as well. I think Teddy's had a better year this year than he did last year. Agreed.

All right, so full-time, 42 points to 12. 42 points to 12. The Roosters have beaten the St. George Illawarra Dragons, and we're just standing by. We might be able to hear from Jarrabria Hargreaves in just a second. I thought I saw Tony Chalmers standing by to...

to gather him up. He'll sweep on him. Get him an interview with Jake Duke, who's stalking in the background. I can see him. Stalking. 42 points to 12. The Roosters over St. George and LeWara. And we've got a game coming up very shortly in Canberra between the Raiders and the Knights.

While we're waiting, boys, let's lock in your tips. We do that for Macca's and McDonald's. An epic stack of beef, cheese, crispy onions and creamy peppercorn mayo. The new Steakhouse Stack has landed at Macca's. Big Man, who are you tipping today? A tip, a first try scorer for First National Real Estate and a play to watch. I'm tipping the Raiders and I'm not at all confident. First try scorer, I'm going to go Matt Timico. He's having a bit of a drought. He's only scored three tries this year and he was a try scoring machine last year.

And the player to watch, I want to watch Ethan Strange. He looks a really good player. He's only a boy. He's only 18 years of age, I think. But, geez, he looks a talent. And I want to see how he goes playing 5'8". All right, Piggy. Actually, hang on. Hold your fire. Here he is right now. You're the most capped rooster of all time. How does it feel to hear that crowd chanting your name? Oh, mate, just so proud. Thanks to everyone. I love you guys. I love this club.

Yeah, it means everything, mate. So just a real proud moment for myself, the team and my family. It didn't go all to plan. Spent a bit of time in the sim bin, a bit of blood as well. But the plan was to go out there and go as hard as you did in those 306 games beforehand. Exactly, mate. I think just in honour of the club, you know, just going after the game itself. But just so stoked, mate. Just really proud, really honoured to...

be a part of something special, be a part of this proud club and I love these guys, man, so thank you. You're not one for the attention. What's it been like to have it be all about you this week? Yeah, it's been overwhelming, mate. The amount of texts and calls through ex-coaches, friends and family, even the supporters, mate, it's been a hell of a week. Talk me through the moment when you walked out onto this field, all the players there, Orbo was there, Mini was there and your family as well. What was going through your mind then?

A lot of emotion, mate. That's why you play. You know your best mates from day one. So I've done everything. I owe my family everything. So without them guys, none of this would have been possible. So yeah, I love them. Yeah, well done. Jarabria Hargreaves becomes the most capped rooster of all time and they've helped him celebrate it with a 42 points to 12 win over St. George, Illawarra. Piggy, your tips for First National Real Estate and McDonald's. Yeah, I'm tipping the Newcastle Knights. My first try scorer, I'm going to go with

Caelan Ponga and my player to watch, Will Price. And what about you, Mark Gassner? Yeah, mine's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm going to go the way of the Raiders for a tip. Frizzell for first try scorer, and I'm with Piggy. Will Price, he'll be the man to watch. Fantastic. All right, boys, all of the action from GIO Stadium, a very cold GIO Stadium, as the Raiders take on the Knights.
