What are the immediate reactions to last Wednesday’s Origin game and the new $5 billion NRL broadcast deal?
This is an ABC podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, jet ski loons looking for a picnic to splash and fat tyre e-bike rodeo clowns creating untold mayhem on footpaths across the nation. Our great code stands on the precipice of international sporting greatness! So, with soul in the shorts, feeling in the feet, and joy in the jumper, it's time to bump, it's time to thump, it's time to sink the slipper! Let's pull the cord on the Evinrude two-stroke and set off for the far horizon. It's another blast of bludgeoning on the blindside with the master of midfield mayhem rampaging Roy Slavin and the man with a fistful of bait and burly. Captain Flathead, H.G. Nelson.
Yes, T.F. Mutch, this has been some AO, a.k.a. The Drain, torching the blindside blue paper for another week. By now the familiar sound, the very familiar sound of the Sumpster camped in the ABC spot and ABC local radio separate booth. And remember, Friday night, well, it's not quite dog night, but it's still on its way. And obviously when program schedules are announced for the coming year, look up Friday night and you'll be delighted. Hello, Australia. HG Nelson lifting the lid on another magnificent week of consenting concussion magic. What a week. What an incredible week. A week when, dare I say it, you can join me if you like when too much point is barely enough. It's a super Saturday here on ABC's Smart Podcast.
Now, Aussies, from start to stumps, it's really a super sad day. It's beyond awesome. It's on its way to being fully sick. That's how big a day it's been here at ABC Local Radio. Another TLT. That is a trip of a lifetime. Let's turn the gaze back over the greatest week of, well, bludgeoning ever. Obviously, Origin takes centre stage in the wrap Wednesday night, the greatest game of Rugby League ever played. Now, I had to really think about that. I wonder if it was really the greatest game of Rugby League ever played. I'm sure, you know, say, Combank. matches, Amoco Cup matches, other Origin matches would vie for that. But, by golly, it's right up there in the conversation. It has to be part of the conversation last Wednesday night as the greatest game of Rugby League ever.
You know, obviously a New South Wales win, 30-12. Some injuries and errors played a part, but it was an outstanding display of rugby league. I had to do some reporting on it for the BBC and I summed it up by saying an outstanding display of rugby league at its finest and most violent display And the BBC were happy with that as a summing up of it. Incidentally, what a great performance from Ashley Cline, the $400,000 referee. And I say that because it gives you an idea of how loaded the NRL is now, that a referee can lose $400,000 on the punt and still back up for work the next day. I mean, it says it all. What a modern world we live in. There it is. 30 to 12 says it all. The nation just has to accept that the biggest chooks, and here we thank Wayne Bennett for bringing the big chooks down with him when he came down to Coach South.
The biggest chooks, snakes, lamingtons, vanilla slices and pavlovas are now camped in New South Wales and will be able to say that with confidence for the next 12 months. I mean, what it is all about is pride. Pride in things south of the Tweed. As far south as, say, the, well, Bega ham and cheese. I still hope that's in New South Wales or they haven't moved it. But it gives you an idea of where this sits now in the greatest game of all. And behind the... Clubhouse of that wonderful win. The deal has been done and there is now a very firm $5 billion plus in the NRL bank for the next seven years. One detail in that 500 pages document which produced the $5 billion, it's a document of deed that was missed, is that Augusta locked away the $250 million.
which we flagged this time last week right on this very show that part of the deal would be $250 million for Gus. He celebrated the prey rise with a savage attack on Tuesday on maroon Harry Grant. Gus says Harry is a cheat, and that's the sort of acid...
