What tribute is paid to Jai Arrow at the beginning of the episode?
Triple M footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water.
Triple M footy is dialed in for your Saturday Arvo. Good to be back on Saturdays with the boys. Big names. Nathan Hindmarsh, Wade Graham and Dave Riccio. Big opinions. Lomax wouldn't have made a lick of difference to that side.
I think it's one of the weakest plays in Origin history. It's not a club, it's not mired by more drama.
But not so big on facts.
Um...
This is the Triple M Footy Saturday Scrum. Thirsty Camel. Camel on down to Thirsty Camel Bottle Shops for unseriously good deals. Drink responsibly. Here's Tony Squires. Great to have your company on this Saturday afternoon. Just two hours to share with you today and also to share it with Nathan Hindmarsh, Wade Graham and Danny Wydler. Welcome, gents. Lovely to have you here. Afternoon. Danny, of course, isn't in the studio with us. He is on the beautiful Central Coast with the Blues.
What's going on there, mate? I've just left training, Tone, and good afternoon to everybody. And the Blues were going through probably either their biggest or second biggest session of the week. We only get to see the first 15 minutes or so because they're actually probably training still right now. They're having an opposed session against, I think, a couple of the Roosters junior teams. So they'd be star-studded, I'm sure. So, yeah, they were going through that. Now, probably the most interesting thing to observe from the time that we were allowed to be there was that Mitch Moses was warming up on his own, doing some of his own exercises, wasn't doing the stuff with the team.
Now, I don't know if that's...
I don't know if that's regular for Mitch, but compared to the other sessions I've seen so far, that hasn't happened. So that's just something to keep an eye on. I don't think it's anything major at this point, but they are training at the moment. So I will make some phone calls about that later on to find out if that's actually significant. Also, there was a Parramatta legend there, not Hindy. Mick Vela was there watching on and... I thought Heidi might have driven up as well to support the Blues, but Bella was there, and also some of the players' wives and partners were watching along as well. So the families will all come into Blues camp this afternoon, and they've got tomorrow off. They had yesterday off as well.
They were playing some golf. So, yeah, it's the usual build-up for the Blues, and nothing major has happened so far, which is good, but... You know, I always worry about these sessions close to the game. I think last year we lost, the Blues lost Mitch Moses at one of these sessions. So after game one it was, and I think that really turned the series. So I'll be checking in a bit later on to find out exactly who's who in the zoo in terms of injuries.
Thanks, Dan. That's a great update on the Blues.
What insights does Kotoni Staggs share from the NSW Camp?
Any news on the Queensland camp? Zero. They're probably due for someone to go down with a stomach bug or a couple of plays to miss training. Yeah, that's us. Who cares?
Yeah. Bugger them. Heidi doesn't care about the Blues anyway.
No, but who does down here? We shouldn't even worry about them. Do we go to Queensland, by the way? Don't give him any airtime whatsoever, you know? That's my thoughts. Is that what you were saying on the streets of Brisbane last week at Magic Round, were you? I've been up – what have I done? No, I did – Magic Round was outstanding last week. Magic Round is the best. Yeah. Honestly, it's a great time. And we were all up there enjoying ourselves. Yeah. What did I have to do? One time up there I had to have Queensland sucks written on a billboard that was draped over me like – What's that movie where they do it? Oh, God, it escapes me now.
What a difference one week makes. Last week, we were up there in Brisbane, loving the place, strolling around Caxton Street like we were a part of the franchise. We wouldn't be a set foot there for the next probably two months or ever, actually. We were right up there. You were right up there.
Not this week, not origin week.
