The NRL is on Triple M. And we've got all the goss. Behind the scenes news on and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily here on your Thursday. It's Charlie White here, and I have two absolute legends of rugby league alongside me, Rennie Matua and Josh Grubby Reynolds. How are you, boys?
Very good, very good. Back from Bali, you're back from the States. Grubby, good to see you, bud.
He's basically very, very, very tanned. Very tanned, mate.
What is the significance of Laurie Daley's coaching situation?
Very relaxed. Yeah, oh, it's good, mate. Rejuvenated. I'll be churning here, churning at Triple M. Double shifts for you. Anyway, it's all good. Mate, have a holiday, brother. It freshens you up, mate. I'm a new man. You do. I know why Rennie got sacked, though, because he's 20 minutes late for this podcast. So that explains why he got sacked. No, you don't. Don't do that.
Touchy subject, though.
How is the four-way battle for the fullback spot shaping up?
I've just got off a plane and now I'm just back page of the paper. Back from holiday straight into losing a job, mate. It's tough. Yeah. Well, it was only a part-time job, you know, a little bit of a casual job. But anyway, it is what it is. Yeah, disappointing, but we move on. So what did you say for this? No, look, I didn't say anything to – look, it's very – I just want to leave this here. This is the last time I want to speak about it. Yeah. But essentially it was based around comments I made critiquing the New South Wales side, selections, interchange, and technically I haven't signed the new deal as an ambassador for this year. It was up from last year, but I've done a couple of jobs for Deadly Choices and –
Under the legality side of things, you know, it's a conflict of interest if I was to say stuff around New South Wales. So even though I have nothing to do with the rugby league team, it's all in the Indigenous space, the deadly choices.
What impact does Harry Grant's form have on the upcoming matches?
So, look, it is what it is, and it's disappointing, but you've got to move on.
mismanage from New South Wales Rugby League this. I mean, you've got to be open to criticism. Like that's – you can't be so sensitive where if someone criticizes what's going on, you then terminate or don't renew that contract as a result. It's crazy.
Yeah, it's gotten a little bit messy over the last 24 hours and I didn't want it to get this messy but I like – You treat me with respect, you get respect back in spades with me and that's the type of person I am. And I felt disrespected and I felt like I was going to tell the story in our podcast and then the media got hold of it and here we are now. But I want to put it to bed today. This is the last time I'll talk about it. Yeah. Strange circumstance, Grubby.
Yeah, well, like Wren said, mate, I obviously don't know the ins and outs of it, but I'd be the same, mate. Because the thing is now, like, people probably think you hate the Blues, and you clearly don't.
This is the ramifications of, like, talking about it on the podcast is that I want to have everything positive around New South Wales now.
What is Sam Walker's contract situation ahead of November 1?
Like, I want us to win so bad and to decide I'm excited for it, regardless of the circumstances that's happened in the last 24 hours. Like I was genuinely like, all right, how do we turn this around, you know, and how do we get behind Laurie? And how do we pick the best team? How do we beat Queensland? Because this will be the biggest upset in origin history if we go up there after our first two performances, which I think were well below par, and beat Queensland. So I'm excited. I actually am excited for the boys. And then, you know, like given the circumstances around New South Wales Rugby League and what they're probably copying right now on social media, I haven't looked at it. I feel a little bit, it's given me a little bit of anxiety.
I feel bad, but at the same time, like, I feel like as a man, I needed to stand up and say, look, you messed up and you should have shown me respect because you would have got respect, respect back.
