This is an ABC podcast.
Hello everyone, H.G. Nelson here with a quick reminder that it's the bye this weekend for bludges everywhere. I can hear the groans, but wait for it. Our hard-working producer Dave Stein has pulled these gems from the past 12 years of bludging highlights to keep you amused. Take it away, Sumpster. Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen!
it's time to bump. It's time to thump. It's time to bludge. The best of bludging on the blind side.
Changing the coach. Look at the success that Manley have had changing the coach. Yeah,
Kieran Four and he's turned them right around.
And he seems to have turned them right around by sort of suggesting that they forget all that stuff that Seabow was going on with and just go out there and play rugby league.
Yeah, believe yourself.
Correct. It's not a huge message. It's just a liberating message Well
it's simple. It's clear. It's
simple, yeah. Isn't
it?
Now
uh You're here for a reason. You're here you the reason you're here is to play rugby league. Do you like rugby league? I do like rugby league. Well then go out there and play rugby league. Oh thanks, Coach. I will.
Yeah. Remember and I can I just use the phrase, just turn up. Just turn up. You know, when the ball comes your way, turn up. Turn up. If you get a break, turn up. Turn up. Yeah. It's not hard because Turning up when you can see the triline, run towards it. Not that they have to look to pass to anybody, just do it.
An in defence turn up. In the case, it's not a good thing, isn't it?
What do you think about the uh Craig the sorry, the uh Cassio
Craig's kid.
Yeah, young appointment.
Mm-hmm. Well I think Dean's been there before, hasn't he?
He has. He has I
mean he's he's big red V through and through, isn't he? I mean it's his heritage, isn't he? I mean his dad, captain he was captain of the team. Constable Craig. He knew where the footies were. He knew where the footies were. He solved crimes around the district. On the job. Yep. And uh, you know. The young fella's a chip off the old block, isn't he?
What advice would you have here for him? Not to expect miracles straight away. I mean the Seabold uh you know, obviously Foz experiment is one that maybe was only possible at a place like Manley. Where they had a lot of uh, you know, mm sort of
Yeah.
Players that seemed to be seemingly held back by the coaching dictates of uh you know, Siebes.
Yeah.
Um
yeah. I mean I think they they need what we used to say back in the day was a jump start. They need jump starting. Dad die. They need a bit of shock. They need They need I don't know if you've ever done this H G, but uh j just for fun. uh is stood in a bath and uh and uh uh uh w with a uh with a with a toaster. And you you turn the taster on and drop it in. You get jump you get a jump start. You know, followed by a maybe a sheaf stabt. And then you're ready. You're ready.
Yeah.
Now I don't know if you'd coaches do that sort of thing these days, probably not. Uh, because it can go horribly wrong.
Yeah, well they gradually write ends up in the cemetery.
Yeah. Yeah.
How do the hosts discuss the recent coaching change at Manly and its impact on player mindset?
Yeah. But I
take your point.
Yeah. But that's what they need. Yeah. Something like that. They they they need someone with the jumper leads. to hop in and attach them to the players and attach them to some source of power.
Yeah.
Uh just for a moment. Just to kick 'em over. And let 'em know what it feels like to be alive. They've forgotten. They've forgotten how to play rugby league. They've forgotten the joy of rugby league.
Now
they've forgotten all the all the aspects of rugby league. So what happens You know, you look at poor old Cookie, he looks like a loser, and he's got Captain beside
his name, Valentine Home. I mean they all look like rubbish. And they're great players. It's it's up to, you know, Constable Craig's Kitty to Remind them of what great players they are. And Gutho. You know, it's up to
Gutho to be there and say, look, I'm here for you, fellas. I can't play, but I'm here for you. And the young bloke, the young kitty, the young number seven. Steer 'em round the park. He's got to steer 'em round the park. He he's never played first grade before.
