What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Walter Kenny Blitch 0:01
G'day, I'm Walter Kenny Blitch, your daily hit of NRL news, and I've got Crawls back today.

What happened in the Bulldogs sledging controversy?

Walter Kenny Blitch 0:05
Kenny's still sick, but the great Paul Crawley stepped in. Crawls, welcome again. How are you, mate? Yeah, good to have you. Thank you. Yeah, it's very good to have you. Great knowledge of the game, and it's been very enjoyable sitting next to you.

Why are the Broncos on life support this season?

Walter Kenny Blitch 0:15
I just want to start off with a bit of news out of the NRL with Jai Arrow having his condition recognised with a Jai July day. Starts on the 12th of July, which also happens to be his 31st birthday.
Paul Crawley 0:29
Yeah, it's wonderful to see everyone in the NRL getting behind this guy. He's a legend of a fella, and he's going through a tough battle at the moment, so it kicks off with the South Knights game.

What are Queensland's last hopes in the NRL?

Paul Crawley 0:38
Do you know him much? Well, he often used to come into NRL 360. Yep. And just a fantastic bloke.

What concerns are there about Mitchell Moses's performance?

Paul Crawley 0:45
Like, what you see is what you get on and off the field. Tough as nails, really down-to-earth, soul-to-the-earth sort of guy.
Unknown 0:51
Mm.
Paul Crawley 0:51
And he's just, yeah, it's really unfortunate, really sad. He's so brave. You saw Woz last year with Jai in a really, really tough season for South Sydney.

What is the significance of the Sharks vs Dragons derby?

Paul Crawley 1:02
He was their player of the year.
Walter Kenny Blitch 1:04
That says everything about Jai. Probably playing with the condition then too, from the start of the condition, yeah, and a great initiative by the ARL. Let's talk about the Bulldogs. We certainly talk about the Bulldogs all year, but something happened on the weekend involving Lachie Galvin and Stephen Crichton. It was a bit set at the time, but some footage has come out since then, which has shed a bit of light on it. It's quite interesting.
Paul Crawley 1:25
Yeah, yeah. Well, at the time, we all thought when Crichton turned down the – Lachie was appealing for a captain's challenge and Crichton, his captain, turned him down. And we thought it appeared as a bit of distrust from – Crichton towards Galvin the chief playmaker and then it turned out it came up on the on the audio of the game that the Tigers players were actually sledging him saying Lockie he doesn't trust you he doesn't trust you and you could clearly hear that um it's kind of it's it's not just embarrassing for Lockie it it kind of points towards what this kid is not just getting because during that game he was copying it off the fans left right and centre like every single time every time I think it was 83 times and then this just adds to it doesn't it like he's
Paul Crawley 2:08
20-year-old kid. And I don't know, the impact on him from a mental perspective, it would have to be really, really difficult.
Walter Kenny Blitch 2:18
So it was the one-year anniversary that he joined the Bulldogs and left the Tigers, and the Tigers fans let him know about it in no uncertain terms.
Paul Crawley 2:25
I don't hold that against them, though. I don't hold that against him.
Walter Kenny Blitch 2:28
He was under contract.
Paul Crawley 2:29
Do you think fans should boo? Beg your pardon? Do you think fans should boo? Look, I wouldn't turn up at a game and ever boo it. the players. I never would. But you know what? There's so much passion involved in the NRL and in rugby league in general. And if some people choose to pay their hard earned and be so invested in their club, I think they're entitled to do what the hell they want when they're at a game. Look, let's be real. Manly fans did it to Cherry Evans. in his return for the Roosters to Brookie earlier this year. He copped it, he wore it, smiled all the way through.
Walter Kenny Blitch 3:00
I think he led them to a win, and it is what it is. I went to a game last year. Parramatta played St. George. Zach Lomax had gone to Parramatta, and Gutho had gone to St. George. And both players, whenever they touched the ball from both set of fans, got booed. Yeah, it was a great atmosphere. I don't mind booing. I think it's part of the game, you know.
Paul Crawley 3:18
And Canterbury took this on. They took on Lockie. He was at the Tigers. He was contracted for what, another year and a half at the time? And this all happened. It was a bitter moment. And let's not forget Crawls.
Walter Kenny Blitch 3:32
He got offered big money to stay at West Tigers. Yeah, he did. Five-year contract, $6 million, 1.2. For a teenager.

How has the Bulldogs' season affected team dynamics?

Paul Crawley 3:39
And they gave him his start. And I don't think, you know, you don't hold it against the West Tigers fans, but the situation for Lockie now and the Bulldogs, it's not going away.
