What breaking news and episode setup do the hosts cover in the intro?
Welcome back to another week. A different one today. Matthew, you've been hit with a flu or a COVID or whatever the hell disease is floating through right now that has lasted a lifetime, it feels like. Influenza omega. It is alpha, alpha bravo. So we haven't had any guests in studio as to not contaminate them.
Yes.
But we do have Hudson Young joining us in just a minute. Origin Hero, State of Origin Hero. And we are recording this just before their game, just after State of Origin and just before the game on the weekend the Raiders are playing, which, Jack, you're actually going to. Yeah, I'm heading out. Who's 150th for someone? Starlow. Starlow's 150th.
Thomas Starlow.
How do the hosts react to Matthew’s illness and plan the show flow?
In recording this too, I'll be in Canberra. On my way to Canberra, I've got a function down there. It's a fundraiser, so I can't really pull out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll shake it off.
You will. You'll get everyone sick down there. You'll get everyone sick. We're also going to talk about the breaking news about Jerome Leroy. Yep. He obviously signed with the P&G Chiefs. Everyone knows that. Tax-free money, money. Here comes the money. But he is... apparently being granted release by the West Tigers for next year to go across. We're going to talk a little bit on those one-year deals as well, which I'm not a big fan. Obviously, Connor Watson, he's going to the Dragons for a one-year deal. Jonah Pezzett this year went to the Eels on a one-year deal before joining the Broncos on a long-term deal. I'm not a big fan of it.
Coop, I have no problem with it. I actually think it can be pretty good if the Dragons are going to get some really good young players. Someone comes in for a short stint, teaches them how to win, teaches them about professionalism, and moves on. I think he could really benefit a club.
I think it depends on the player, obviously. It does depend on the player. I don't know if the Pezzet-Eels one has really worked as much in their favour. This week, Moses comes back in, Volkman goes to six, Pezzet's probably going to play in reserve grade, but I don't know. At the time, it was definitely what they wanted with Jonah.
Yeah, but I maintain, Cooper, what makes next year more important than this year? You know what I mean? Yeah, like people always go, oh, you know, he's not going to be there next year. But hey, why is next year and the year after that more important than the now?
I get that. I more mean probably in hindsight now because they haven't really used him much this year apart from injury and whatnot.
Yeah, I don't think the Jonah one has worked as well because of the very fact, Coop, they just had a lot of injuries and they haven't fired like they thought they would. Jonah has had lots of hamstring injuries, so that one hasn't really worked out. The one I like is more, like I said, the experienced guy. Yeah. Jerome will go somewhere for a year and someone will benefit.
I look at Connor Watson as well going to the Dragons next year. Yeah, great. A Dragons side who needs probably experience with the youth that they've got right now. They've got a very promising young side, but they've also got a lot of youth in there that need help. Like they need a lot of help and they need a bit of experience to help them push them on the right path.
Well, can I give you an example? What older players do, they help younger players at training. The great Eric Cantona, when he was at Manchester United and he was sort of getting to the end of his career, young Beckham came through and he said after training, he made Beckham do 50 crosses each side for him to hit a, just relentlessly, just boom, put it on the spot, put it on the spot, put it on the spot. And Beckham says, he cited that as one of the cornerstones of his success. That's just an example of how it can work.
Did you have a – who was your – because you guys had a young crew when you were kind of coming through, but who was that guy for you guys who sort of like did all the extras post-session and whatnot and sort of set the standard?
There was a fellow called Robbie McCormack who was really good, the moth.
