Like he got Dave Turrell of beauty in the second half.

Was he dirty, Jammer?

he just knew that sammy was the head of the snake and when he saw sammy taking my position of the kickoff it was a signal to him like all right he's coming to set the set the platform i'm going to meet him with the same intensity and i've got to do whatever i can to take this the head of the snake off yeah right so he was trying to kill this take the head of the snake at that point and there was a point in the game where he looked at sammy's like mate you gotta go off like

Your face is fucked.

And he's like, looks like a fucking drop pie.

And the Sam is like, fuck off.

He's like, I'm not fucking going anywhere.

It's such good banter on the field.

Do you ever niggle Sam and just be like, mate, you weren't up to that first carry?

Yeah.

I've been bagging him out for it lately because I was like, mate, that's why I take the fucking kickoff carries.

Because that wouldn't happen to this noggin.

He's got a big head.

It would have robbed us of like –

A beautiful sort of grand final moment.

Oh, it was meant to be.

We spoke for a long time about the heroics of Sattler and what that impact had on us as a team.

And then to see him in the crowd, John Sattler, Bobby McCarthy, sat next to each other when it happened.

message was like sats did it you can do it sammy yeah and like how crazy is that 45 years on we still history is repeating itself

Crazy he was there though as well.
