Paul Crawley 0:01
Welcome to the latest edition of Ask Kenti.

Should Ivan Cleary replace Laurie Daley as NSW coach?

Paul Crawley 0:03
I'm looking forward to this, mate.

What are the implications of the Bulldogs salary cap scandal?

Paul Crawley 0:04
I've never done it with you before. No, no.

Does Des Hasler deserve another chance as NSW coach?

Paul Crawley 0:07
But I like people putting shit on you.

Are Peter V'landys' rule changes ruining the game?

Paul Crawley 0:08
Yeah.

How are coaches affected by media scrutiny?

Paul Crawley 0:11
We'll get into it, hey?
Paul Kent 0:13
Let's get to the fun stuff then.
Paul Crawley 0:14
Kerry Scarlo-Keefe, you reckon it's the right real one? No, he comes in every week, this bloke.

Why is Michael Maguire under pressure compared to Ricky Stuart?

Paul Crawley 0:19
All right. If Loves was to leave New South Wales this year, wouldn't it be perfect time to put Ivan in as coach for 2027 and give Peter Wallace six weeks to be the interim at the Panthers before he takes over in 2028?

Does Cameron Ciraldo need to reinvent himself?

Paul Kent 0:33
It's not a bad idea, actually. It's not a bad idea given that we all think all the roads lead to Ivan being Origin coach in 2028 when he's no longer coaching the Panthers. It's got merit because, look, I'm certain of this. I'm certain this is going to be Laurie's last game, game three in Brisbane. So he won't be there next year. You've only got to look at the reaction after what's happened this week and what happened after game one when he won it. to see that he's got little appetite for it to continue. Win or lose, I think it'll be his last game. That's not a bad idea. If you're going to have a look at Ivan for 2028, why not go next year? Yeah, I agree with you completely.
Paul Crawley 1:11
We've got a couple here from happy Bulldogs fans. Righto. After last week. Mujahid, and I hope I've pronounced that correctly if I haven't. Apologies. Kenty, you are off your head. Has your brain's memory lapsed or something? It was 2002 when the Bulldogs breached the salary cap after being on a 17-match winning streak. Yes. That's 17-game winning streak. The Bulldogs were forced to forfeit all their points after leading the competition in 2002. In 2004 was the year when the Bulldogs had lost to the Roosters 35-0 earlier in the year to defeat them 40-12. And then we met them in the grand final. The Bulldogs won 16-13. Mate, do you even know what day it is?
Paul Kent 1:57
Yeah, well, today's Sunday. Let me explain why. So I said last week that they got busted cheating the salary cap, they won the comp, and they shouldn't have been allowed to win the comp. Now, I know they got busted in 2002. They won the comp in 2004. My complaint was this. Now, I was reporting on the game at the time, and when the NRL came in and busted Canterbury, they allowed the players at that club in 2002 to all take pay cuts. to stay – to get back under the cap, right? Now, every player at the club except one took a pay cut. It fell out of favour with a few players, actually, that young bloke too. Anyway, every player took a pay cut except one. But what – and I argued at the time with David Gallop, who's the CEO of the NRL, and I said, Dave, you can't do this.
Paul Kent 2:48
And he said, Kenny, as long as you're under the salary cap – They're complying. I said, but what you don't appreciate here is that they've been allowed to assemble an illegal roster through purchasing power because they were cheating. Now, the NRL didn't agree with me. They said as long as they get back under the cap, which all the players did. except one, and they got under there and they stayed together. They won the comp in 2004, at which point they all went straight back out to market to get what basically was their true value again. And the Bulldogs fell apart, which is why they didn't win or didn't make the finals in 2005, because they lost so many players. The fact is, now, to my point, When Melbourne got caught in 2010, by then the NRL had actually seen what had happened with the Bulldogs and said, look, no one's taking a pay cut.
Paul Kent 3:40
What you're on the cap for right now is what you're on the cap for. The only way you can get back under the cap, Melbourne, is by actually getting rid of players. So the NRL actually learned... their mistake from the Bulldogs. I wasn't wrong. I knew that 2002, 2004 were different seasons, but Canterbury were allowed to illegally assemble that roster because they were offering money that other clubs couldn't offer players because they were cheating. So that's my point. So whoever that bloke is, I'm not off my head. I probably just got shit on my liver.
