Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
All right. Riding around in the breeze. Well, it's all right. If you live the life you please.
Good morning, everyone. Great to have you with us. It is Thursday, May the 28th. The music will die down eventually. There it goes. Got a very big show today. It's been a big week. McCafe menu. Try McCafe's new drinks range. Rory Lobb from the Bulldogs. He was a defender. He's now their great ruck hope. Sammy Edmund. It'd be good to see Sammy. I'm sure he's had a busy couple of days.
Corey Mabilio, the number one man from Champion Data, is coming into the studio. We love seeing that. We've got Georgie Samios, the wonderful world of wine. Johnny from Epping. So we've had heavy footy topics and tributes throughout the course of the week, which have all been entirely appropriate.
Chapter 2: Who is Rory Lobb and what are his contributions?
There will be a chance just to lighten up a little bit today and have a bit of fun. But... Some things never go away. Welcome to you, Whispers. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. Can you tell me whether or not the coffee ban, does that extend to a home studio down in Shoreham? Yes, it does.
So if I see you with any form of liquid, if I see Lady Susie wandering with the coffee as she does light clockwork, there'll be trouble. This is like the hotel smokehouse now, isn't it? What's that mean? Well, you've got to build ā you know how the hotel's all built separate little smoking areas for patrons to go outside and have a gasper? Yeah.
The coffee banning of the studio is a bit like that now. I think there's a compromise to be made, but we'll worry about that. Well, we haven't reached that yet, have you? We'll worry about that. Well, yeah. It's not easy. It's not easy to get through three hours without sort of sipping a cup of coffee.
Not only that, but what about when I get a frog in my throat and I can't have a drink to clear it? Exactly, exactly. Nibs is laughing out there. You haven't done three hours, Nibs. Have you started tapping on the wall? I just go like this. Do a panch. Just poke your tongue out and see what comes. See if a drink comes your way at some stage. My dad used to just, Edna!
Yeah.
I know, we've discussed this. We have discussed it. There's a lot to get through. We don't do sport all that much, but if you're a State of Origin fan, NRL style, one of the most incredible guns. I went to bed at halftime. I think it was 20 to 4 when I went to bed. Queensland were just giving them a nice old donkey licking.
And I woke up, I walked in here this morning at about quarter to five and I see James Tedesco's try winning save gets New South Wales across the line. I thought, no.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the coffee ban in the studio?
Have you caught up with this? No, I haven't. I haven't. I've been doing so many other things this morning, writing stuff, written a little whisper tutorial that I don't know that it's going to go to air at any stage this morning or not. But anyway, you tell me what happened. Take me through it, try by try. Not try by try. They were down 20 zip after 20 minutes in New South Wales.
It's been described as the great escape, the greatest escape. Ponga, who wears the number one, I think he's the fullback. This is this very, very basic kind of... No, that's what we expect. Yeah, no, very basic. He gets sent off at a very critical time because he made head-high contact with a New South Wales player and that was very controversial. Right. And then they just go rattling home.
And then James Tedesco, who's the captain of the Roosters, who's missed the last couple of games, I believe, he does a classic running with the flight. So they put up this Hail Mary kick. The New South Wales with a minute to go. They're behind. He just sprints with the flight. Rain, exhaustion, Queensland full whack or whoever it is comes up to meet the ball.
And Tedesco just goes flying through, takes the mark on his chest, running with the flight and flops onto the try line. And that's the game over. You reckon that's not going to be on NRL 360. That summation I just gave you. What about that for the theatre of it all? Have we got some highlights? Get yourself ready to go, Whisper. Have a listen to this.
This is a shoulder charge that makes direct contact to the head.
Right, go, Julia. Yeah, you're off. Gone. Caelan Ponga has been sent from the field. Doesn't matter. Cleary gets across. They get the try. They're back in action. They'll kick the goal. They'll be down by four. Here come New South Wales. They're getting through on it. Who's there? Hamaso. Hamaso. Oh! Oh, Teddy. Tedesco's got it. Oh, my gosh.
Tedesco has grabbed it out of the air and he's scored the try. James Tedesco, the former New South Wales captain, has come up with a super play. Oh, what a blue day in history. New South Wales have done the impossible. The game is over. New South Wales 22, Queensland 20. Bang.
Not as good as my summation, but pretty excitable anyway. No. No, nowhere near as exciting as what you actually recall. That was our NRL call. Magnificent work by the boys there. It is a huge story. I mean, State of Origin, you just have a look at the coverage of this, Tim. It takes over the world, State of Origin. And when you get a game like that.
So, Laurie Daly, you know, Laurie, you're good mates with him, aren't you? He's half his brother, isn't he? No, you didn't. You used to hang out with Laurie. You said back in the day you did some ad with him or something, didn't you?

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the recent NRL game outcomes?
No. No, we crossed paths somewhere. No, it was the other bloke. Who was the other bloke? The other bloke. Anyway, Laurie Daly. The king. It was king. Oh, Wally. That's right. That was Wally, yeah. So Laurie Daly's called back to coach New South Wales, and he hasn't got a great track record, but he's a great bloke. And anyway, at halftime, they're going, that's the end of it. That's all over.
Red Rover. Laurie's never going to coach ever again. And by the end of the game, he's a genius. Gaz, you don't understand. No, that's correct. Thank you for pointing that out. You could say, let me help you.
the video umpire reviewed the ponker hit and said it was a sin bin the on-field ref overturns that decision and sends him off it's never happened before okay and there's some some layers to this wisp i did read billy slater though the coach of queensland and his comments after the game and he said no no we we just accept the decision so you can all have a whinge anyone else can have a whinge but i'm not i haven't got a problem with it
Nothing to see here.
Nothing to see here.
Well, that's what Billy says. I listen to Billy, the coach. I can't look at Laurie Daly without trying to find the seam in his hair. Do you know, has he got a... I don't know. I do not know. I don't know Laurie Locke, you know, the king. I don't know him. I know that's a terrible thing to say. It is really. You don't even know him and you're having a pot at him about it.
No, well, it's not having a pot. It just looks like his hair just, it fascinates me, that's all. A lot of hair that fascinates me, but his hair in particular fascinates me. It was a great game. There's lots of controversy and we'll let the controversy swirl around us. But the bottom line is New South Wales have staged the biggest, I think it's the biggest comeback in...
origin history they come to secure a famous victory and then they go on to game number two yep well there's going to be is game number two the Melbourne game is that the MCG one yep it is okay well there's going to be there already would have been enormous interest in that there's going to be a whole lot more interest in that Now, you and I have both watched the same show yesterday.
I'm very interested in your take on the Vinnie Jones Untold doco that you watched yesterday. I watched it. I haven't spoken to you about this. I know you watched it, but I'm just interested on your take in terms of a doco. It wasn't as good as I thought, but it was still very interesting.

Chapter 5: What storytelling techniques resonate with players?
Do you think it's more than half? Well, I did see what Bevo said on 360 where a lot of the boys wouldn't have gone and had a look at the story of a crazy bull, a sitting bull and crazy horse. Crazy bull. Crazy bull. I mean, it could be crazy bulls, but yeah, I mean, I know that a lot of boys wouldn't have had a look.
I mean, I had a little brief look at it and yeah, it's such an unbelievable story.
story on you know resilience and the way that they didn't want to change their ways and people jumping off and leaving but yeah it was a great analogy for me personally I got a lot out of it going into that game and you know there was a lot of doubters for us going into that game with Melbourne playing so well and yeah I mean there's a few boys you can take a little bit out of it for the game it's always a good thing With Rory Lobb from the Western Bulldogs who's in fine form as a ruckman what's the chances of Tim English returning this week
Well, we got our main session today. He's got a few things to tick off, so we'll see how he goes. But, you know, obviously being concussion, you don't want to risk anything. So I'm fully preparing myself to play rough. But, you know, if he gets up, I'm happy to go play another position, whether that be down back or maybe even play forward. It's just whatever I'm told to do.
And, yeah, I mean, I'm preparing myself to play rough considering he hasn't ticked off these things yet. But hopefully he can have a good session today. Yeah, we hope so as well. As we let you go, mate, have you got any trips planned? Have you got any functions coming up? You're a very active social media operator, I'm told. Yeah, yeah.
I'm still working out what I'm going to do for the bye week, whether I go to Bambuga with the boys and have a hit or maybe take my wife down south to the peninsula. So we'll see which way I go with that. I think we know where that's going, Rosa. I think we know what's going to win out there. We'll see if we can get over the line. Good on you, mate. We appreciate you hopping on. Good luck.
Big game against the Magpies this weekend.
Thank you.
Rory Love there.

Chapter 6: How is Tim English's potential return impacting the team?
He's into sort of like the realism of it all. Yeah, he's a bit more pragmatic. His strategy is pragmatic, yeah.
Chapter 7: What are Rory Lobb's plans for the bye week?
Righto, we've got to take one. 7.30 news headlines. George Samuels will join us. He's a mad, passionate Essendon supporter. I haven't spoken to him yet. I'm going to ask him what he thinks, who should be the coach of the Essendon Footy Club. Sam from Edmond. Edmond's a little suburb in the western suburbs, so he's going to join us. And then Corey Mobilio as well.
On a busy morning here on Essendon. Oh, by the way, apologies. The app is clearly not working. There's a nationwide issue. We've got every tech in the country working on it, so apologies. Don't blow me in the wisp. I haven't spilled anything, nothing. No one's got anything to do with it. We haven't been sabotaged in any way, have we? We don't think so, but they're working on it.
Just check the CCTV vision out there just to make sure that there hasn't been somebody that looks like somebody there just disconnecting something. 741 has said, has Three Piece not paid his bills? I think Three Piece is up to speed with his bills. The wonderful world of wine.
For Floridia Cheese. Four generations of cheese making expertise. Floridia Cheese. Serving Australians the best tasting traditional Italian cheese.
Thirteen techs working on the app downstairs. The explanation was there's a rat not working. I said there's a rat got into it. It's a rack, some sort of, anyway, that's technical speak. But then there's this message. Oi, radio station, app working now. Finally can hear properly. No more. Well, there's one person that's apps working. I'm not sure if that's across the board.
But anyway, rest assured is being worked upon. Just had a message from Top Deck out there too. He said that Rory Lobb is one of the nicest, nicest blokes that you would possibly ever meet. He sounds like it. I'm trying to think who's Top Deck. Yeah, top deck harsh. Oh, the chomp he's been talking about. George Samios has wandered in here.
He's here to talk wine, but he's got other things on his mind as well. Send through 04339181116 anything you want to know about wine. Just after a really heavy week, it's nice to be able to change tack and just lighten up a bit. But then George wanders in with a furrowed brow. You are part of the Essendon Inner Sanctum. What's it been like for you, Georges? It's been tough. Tough week.
But, you know, at least we're talking about our club and we're going to go forward and we'll get a solution and we'll look back at this time and maybe it'll be the changing of the guard. Did they send a tweet out to all you influential heavy hitters that that's what you've got to trot out in public? No, no, no, I'm not a heavy hitter like Tim. No, no, things will roll out.
I think it's a tough time at the moment, but I'm sure I trust the guys there and I'm sure they'll make the right decisions. Nick out there's got a keen ear, George. He said that you let it slip last week on our show that you and Sheedy and some other SM people had been together the night before. Yes.

Chapter 8: What insights does Corey Mobilio provide about player performance?
Is it all right?
Don't move, Gary. Is it all right? Don't move a muscle. Squeak. Squeak. You know what? Marco Polo. We know there's a lot of people listening. Now, I know those that can hear will be sick of me saying this, but we apologise. I've taken note of about six very abusive ones, and they'll be returned in kind. It is frustrating.
Of course it's frustrating.
It's frustrating for us. It's been frustrating here for Wisby and Shoreham as well. He's thinking he's wasting his petrol. Yeah, mum's upset. It's horrible. My sister's walking the track in Kyabrum, and everyone's nodding at each other going, what's wrong with the app? I actually like Bob's text here, Whisper. That glitch felt like I was at home, everyone talking over each other.
Don't you love it when you hear, oh, this is, you blokes are kidding yourselves. Thanks, genius. Anyway, 98% of your understanding. Have you spotted three-piece yet? Three-piece has gone to ground. No three-piece. Nims is here, though, blowing his trumpet.
He's got it sorted out.
Okay, let's move on because Corey from Champion Data will join us after 8.30. What's going on with Bailey Humphrey?
Yeah, so he continues to wrestle, guys, with his football future. Now, this is seven months after trying to force that trade out of Gold Coast. Now, he's being, Bailey Humphrey, courted most actively right now by Hawthorne, Melbourne and Carlton. And he does remain torn between staying at the Suns and being closer to family and country of Victoria.
He was one of the more intriguing parts of last year's trade period, wasn't he? Because at that time, his manager, Michael Oakes, declared the player has not met with any clubs whatsoever. and doesn't have any plans to meet with any clubs, only for a photo to emerge on the same day as those comments of him meeting with the new Melbourne coach Stephen King, the infamous lap of the tan.
