What is the introduction and premise of the Bye Round 99 episode?
Hello and welcome everybody to episode two of the Buy Round 99, where we go through the top NRL 99 players of all time, which is all thanks to Maccas and the My Maccas app with this sensational 99 cents delivery fee. Uh episode one was an absolute belter where we discussed the art or the lack of art in goal kicking. How easy that is. You really shouldn't be missing from inside those numbers still, should you? Well, the way you were saying you shouldn't miss at all. So it uh but no, that was inter and look, it's nice to be back. I wasn't sure if I was going to get an invite back. Um I I enjoyed our first episode. I'm looking forward to our second episode. I've been thinking actually, um with goal kicking, will it ever be will it ever be mastered completely where the game just forget it and you just get six points for a try wherever you score because the skill has become that easy.
We we we're we look back and we go They they used to miss them. They used to miss conversions. Can you believe it? It's not that hard. And then the game chang we we just get six point tries and forget it. Or they bring in another skill. They make it harder. Like you've actually got to kick off the ground. You're you just live in the age of AI, don't you? You just think we're we're heading towards somewhere where Perfection. We're heading towards perfection. Just like you in the stalo burger with your perfection. We've we discussed that at at length. We don't want perfection. Look, no, I I I we want parts of our lives to be perfection, but but not all of it. We need we need some anarchy. Like we need that's what that's what life is is about, is the highs and the lows.
Like I say, I think the jeopardy of a goal kick will go because the skill will be mastered. I'm I'm not going there again, James. We've spoken about this. It's not going to change. It's always been a big part of the thing. You just watch them improve. Wait till players have smart boots on and then they can calculate the boot does all the work for them. You heard it here first. The smart boot doesn't miss conversions. All right, where are we going? I'm not arguing.
Um someone in the comments after the last episode said you already have a burger that exists. Is that right? There's already a burger named after you, the Sterlow burger at at Paralegue's club.
Well, if it's not it should be. Um, I think that there might be, yes.
No,
but when I go in they make it up the way I want it. Okay.
They take rid of everything.
That'll be different to the way that when you go in, um and the other difference is you'll have to pay.
We don't have to pay much to get it delivered from McDonald's. You don't. And Mac has have said they will not be bringing out the sterlop. Yeah, I go for the pounder, no cheese,
no onion, nothing. I text Ronald and said, Listen, Ronald, we've got this uh great idea, the legend that is sterlow. He said, No, no one will buy that. The sterlo burger that uh plain and simple, a little bit like the man himself. Uh, what do we start at? 75. Yes, 75. So we did uh episode one where we did 99 to 76, which was Daily Cherry Evans. Uh but now we're going from 75 to 51. Uh so I'll do my first five. Uh in number 75, Greg Baird. Number 74. Brayton Nasta, number seventy-three, Matt Cooper, seventy-two, Will Chambers, and number seventy-one, Brett Stewart. Yeah, interesting. And um I think there's a player there that I've missed when I go back. I'd I I don't think I've named Matt Cooper. Um I think he probably sh should be there, so I I apologize to that.
I've got Greg Burt higher, I've got him in the forties. This is about the closest we've been with a player, Braith and Asta. Um I've got him in I think seventy one and that's close to the marquee. I got Will Chambers higher and I've got Brit Stewart higher. Oh, okay. So to me the the the Matt Cooper stands out a little bit to me because he's I think he's one that I've missed. Yeah. S some t centers are a difficult one. Hm. Like really difficult one to To nail, I think, and look, they they do a lot without doing a lot. Like they can be so important, absolute game breakers.
