Chapter 2: How does Dean Young influence the team's performance?

51.002 - 60.815 Tom

Yep. Dean Young is making me feel things, and I didn't feel anything. I've never felt anything for Dean Young. I've never felt a single thing.

0

61.356 - 67.59 Eddie

I have never. It's never moved for Dean Young.

0

67.61 - 68.732 Tom

Not even slightly.

0

68.915 - 73.562 Eddie

It's never moved for Dean Young. Even if Dean had his hands on me, it wouldn't be moving, right?

0

73.742 - 76.065 Tom

You might not move at all, depending.

76.085 - 83.056 Eddie

It depends. How he's holding up. And then I hear him last night on NRL 360, and he's just saying all the right things.

83.156 - 99.764 Tom

He's commanding the space. He's commanding the room. He's commanding your attention. And he just comes in and goes, yeah, needed a change. Things needed to change. I literally got the job and drove straight to Cade Reed's house and was like, you're playing. And you're playing, right?

Chapter 3: Why is Cade Reid considered essential for the Dragons?

99.944 - 100.525 Tom

Call Kyle.

0

100.646 - 104.693 Eddie

You're on the bus. And that's one of the good parts of the job, Tom.

0

104.673 - 106.776 Tom

Oh, no, it is, mate. Being able to give a kid a debut, mate.

0

106.796 - 112.164 Eddie

Well, that's right. But then one of the bad sides of the job, mate, is you've got to sack your mate, Mick Ennis.

0

112.385 - 119.015 Tom

You've got to completely blindside Mick Ennis and sack him, which did seem unnecessary, but I don't know.

119.115 - 126.226 Eddie

Well, I don't know, but I sort of – he showed he's working. Yeah, he did. I want the players to feel like this is a completely new environment.

126.246 - 132.749 Tom

Do you reckon they'll notice, though, that it's not – Like, does he have to change a lot or do you reckon they're going to be coming and going, fuck, I might add a new club?

132.969 - 151.688 Eddie

Well, I think, see, it's difficult because you're driving into the same place, right, and you're putting on the same kit. Yeah. Still a lot of the same people. I would argue he probably has sucked. Deb, the secretary, is still there. Well, I think you're probably looking in somewhere in the realms of 99.5% of the people are still the same.

151.708 - 152.208 Tom

Still the same.

Chapter 4: What changes are being made to the Dragons' playmakers?

152.689 - 175.227 Eddie

But maybe it is that Mick's such a big presence. You know, there's Mick, the grub. In his playing days, obviously. Who commands attention too as well. And he commands attention. And attention. And respect. And attention. And maybe it is that he goes, he casts too large a shadow.

0

175.568 - 184.312 Tom

And so now, and not necessarily a negative shadow, but the shadow now not there. Mm-hmm. They're like, holy shit, this feels like we're in a new club.

0
0

184.933 - 185.855 Tom

Things feel different now.

0

186.195 - 192.866 Eddie

Crazy. Crazy. You drive in and you remove a shadow and all of a sudden you're in a brand new club.

193.828 - 208.876 Tom

If you check the tapes, and I know some of you will, for the longest period of time we've said any rugby league club worth its salt needs a Cade in the side. Yeah. And especially when you've got one at your disposal.

Chapter 5: How do injuries affect team selections in rugby league?

209.757 - 224.944 Tom

Like if you've got one in the top 30 and you're not using them, then that's a serious problem and a serious mark against. Now, when you're playmakers, I think this may have also been on NRL 360 last night. Shout out to them.

0

226.257 - 243.456 Tom

The Dragons forwards have run for more metres than any other fucking forward pack in the competition, which would suggest they've had some attacking footy and it would also suggest that they just can't put any icing on the rugby league cake, which would suggest that maybe it's time to switch up the playmakers considering they've been basically the same for the whole fucking year.

0

243.436 - 256.454 Tom

And that maybe a young 20-year-old by the name of Cade Reid, have you heard of him, who's been ripping it up in the fucking cup. Maybe it is time to bring Cade Reid in this evening and put a little fucking cherry on top of that cake.

0

256.515 - 269.273 Eddie

Well, it's not even cherry, Matt. We're looking for icing. Yeah, true. Because at the moment, this cake is being rolled out to the people without any icing. It's barebacked. It's barebacked. And leaguers don't bareback cake. They need icing. They need to be winding down.

0

269.293 - 270.514 Tom

They bareback some things and it ain't cake.

271.416 - 296.567 Eddie

Exactly right. You know? Yeah. That's exactly right. And I liked hearing via Bray Finaster, Cade aside for a second and the power of a Cade, which we've been over for many, many years, is that – All he's done is succeed to this point, right? He's just – when you're a freak when you're young, you just dominate all the beaters around you in your own age group. And then he said it gets easier.

296.587 - 312.964 Eddie

You come up to first grade and you're playing with better players than you would have been playing with and you don't have the scars of yesteryear so you can go out there and you can play with freedom. And they haven't worked you out yet. You haven't worked you out yet. And then you combine that with the fact that his name is Cade, right? And you start to go –

312.944 - 315.047 Eddie

Jesus Christ, it was time for change.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the recent scientist disappearances?

315.608 - 339.43 Eddie

Dean Young must have been sitting there banging his head against the wall going, we have a Cade ripping without the scars of yesteryear that we can roll out here. Look at our boys. They're punching holes through the middle. We're just not delivering any icing. So I think this week could be – A very interesting week for Rugby League. I think it could be a very interesting week for Rugby League.

0

339.53 - 361.031 Eddie

And for Cades generally. Dude. And broadly. I'll be honest with you. If Cade can deliver this weekend, and we won't have the data to back this up, it'll be a vibe-based thing, but if we did have the data, it would back us up. I think that there is a significant increase in kids named Cade coming out of hospital wards next week.

0

361.111 - 377.399 Tom

Yes. Or at the very least... You're certainly seeing the current CrossFit NRL coaches paying much more close attention to any Cade within their top 30. If they weren't already.

0

377.419 - 379.782 Eddie

Or even just a Cade in and around the system.

0

379.883 - 390.52 Tom

Yeah, yeah. They don't need to be in the top 30. Well, ideally, I think you need to select from your top 30 unless you have an injury crisis or something of that nature.

390.54 - 407.394 Eddie

Well, I mean, you go at a bloke's knees with a balaclava on and you make room for a Cade, don't you? You make room for a Cade, don't you? Yeah, you're right. I mean, I believe Mr. Dean Young said last night that whatever it takes for the club. Yes. Now, if that means maiming some of your players under the cloak of darkness to bring into a Cade or two.

407.816 - 411.025 Tom

Well, you don't even need to do it yourself. You'd find some coastal heavies.

411.528 - 415.974 Eddie

Well, I mean, it depends how, you know, affiliated you are to that sort of person.

Chapter 7: How does the podcast address controversies in the NRL?

415.994 - 419.8 Tom

Well, he's called Dean and he looks like a bikey and he's played rugby league.

0

419.94 - 421.823 Eddie

Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty yourself, Tom.

0

421.983 - 422.824 Tom

No, that's true.

0

422.844 - 423.065 Eddie

It's true.

0

423.085 - 426.61 Tom

Well, listen, he's done that to Mick. He got his fucking hands dirty with poor old Mick Ennis.

426.79 - 427.792 Eddie

Well, he's maimed Nick.

427.832 - 435.062 Tom

Yeah, exactly. He's fucking blood on those hands. Mick, brother. No, not Nick Ennis. Different. Different. I think that's Nick's brother.

435.883 - 438.267 Eddie

Mick's brother. Mick and Nick. Mick's brother, Nick. Mick and Nick.

438.447 - 439.088 Tom

And Rick.

Chapter 8: What are the listeners' reactions to the discussed topics?

442.054 - 450.831 Eddie

Mick, Rick and Nick. Mick, Nick and Rick Ennis. And Dick. Dick, yeah, Dick Ennis. Dick, Mick, Nick and Rick. Yeah, Dick Ennis. Oh, Dickie was a mongrel.

0

450.851 - 452.034 Tom

Dickie was the mongrel.

0

452.054 - 460.87 Eddie

Oh, he was the mongrel. The preeminent mongrel of our time. You think Mick was a fucking grub. Oh, no. Good Lord. Did you ever see Dickie Ennis play? Jesus Christ.

0

460.89 - 483.145 Tom

He's a biter, old Dickie. No, he was. Dickie, that's where he got the nickname. It wasn't about his dick. It was about the ones that he bit. Old Dickie Ennis. So, no, Dane's got Mick's blood on his hands, and you could argue that maybe he should do the maiming of any player to make way for a K. Well, he's already – He's kind of done that to a Flanagan as well.

0

483.165 - 489.142 Eddie

He's killed him, Mick. Brother of Nick, Rick and Dick. And he's killed a Cole Flanagan.

489.422 - 521.44 Tom

Yeah. Cole's still- He's never coming back. Well, he's on the bench. But then I would imagine that when- Because Jacob Little got injured pre-game with a hammy. That when he comes back- Yes. Then it is absolutely sayonara. It's goodnight nurse. To the reserves you go. Or the S-League. Or the S League. I'm not going to, but you know what? We're both thinking the same thing. God damn it, I want it.

522.441 - 544.698 Tom

And it's got nothing to do with Carl Flanagan, so don't worry about it. Absolutely nothing to do with Carl. Nothing to do with Carl Flanagan. But I can't help but be a little bit for Dean Young to make me feel some things. He came in. Dean Young's like a guy who's always been sort of like an assistant coach getting around, but he's not – I don't know.

544.718 - 557.654 Tom

It just doesn't seem like there's much to him. He's not like a super charismatic guy. Nor do you need to be. Nor do you need. It's not like Andrew Webster is from the fucking Waz. He doesn't need to be Eddie Hearn. He doesn't need to be Eddie Hearn. But there's something about him where I guess I just overlooked him.

557.995 - 568.408 Tom

You know, like Todd Payton has incredible eyes and he wears precocious jewelry and that sort of. And maybe mascara. And maybe mascara.
