Like so good.

I saw there was a kid actually named Willie Mason.

But what an honour and that's the way that they show their respect.

We went back to Vanuatu with Mal Meninga, back to his – so his great-great-grandfather jumped off the rocks in this tiny little village and jumped on a ship and was –

Basically, they call it blackbirding, but he was brought to Queensland to cut cane.

So you're on minimum wage for three years and then you're a free man.

And Mal went back to his village and there was a little kid who walked up and said, my name's Mal.

And it's like that's the biggest story that's come out of that tiny little village and what a way to honour someone like Mal Meninga.

What about Chammy?

He's going enormous.

It had to be a significant.

And that's, I think, the way that they did it was such a statement and the rollout was perfect.

And I thought Jerome, the way he handled the press conference back here, and I also thought Benji was all class about it too.

Definitely.

I'm so glad you guys did it because then all of a sudden we're seeing a lot of different images.

We're hearing a lot of different stories.

And it's, yeah, the way it's been executed has been top shelf.

Speaking of Prime Ministers, can I deviate for a sec?

So when I was working back Wide World of Sports and unfortunately we heard that Richie Beno had not long to go.

Mm-hmm.
