Triple M footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. Triple M NRL Daily for Liquorland. Legendary. Choose to drink wise. The NRL is on Triple M. What about that? And we've got all the goss. Behind-the-scenes news on and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms.
Stop looking around for excuses. Got to make sure you don't live in glass houses.
When it comes to the Voldemorts, we'll just do what the police says. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily on your Tuesday, which means we've got two of the best journos in the game, the great David Riccio and the great Brent Reid. How are you, boys? I'm very well, Charlie. Very, very well.
I was having a good morning, Charlie, until Dave made me late for this podcast. And not only that... Just while I was sitting here, I just got ink ran on my pants. Mate, you're a mess. You're a mess. Ink, that ain't coming out. No.
That's blue ink on green pants. Don't blame me for your tardiness.
I'm blaming you for the ink as well. Your tardiness. Mate, this is the second day in a row you're late. We're starting this one 25 minutes late. Yesterday was 35 minutes late. That wasn't my fault either. Well, again, you just fail to take responsibility.
Joel needs to be clearer in his messaging.
It's a very ambiguous message. Good characters take responsibility for their mistakes and you're not showcasing good character.
It's like they all say, a great player looks in the mirror and says, what can I do to improve the team? A bad player looks in the mirror and says, what can everyone else do to fix it?
And you look in the mirror and say, I can improve absolutely nothing.
My forehead looks fantastic. Can you stop that? Botox stuff's taken off. Can you cut that out?
Do you want us to stop saying that? No, we shouldn't. If you will, please. If anything, mate, it's a compliment because you haven't had Botox, allegedly, allegedly, and you look fantastic. He's just confirmed it. It's unbelievable. We should say Lick-A-Lan have jumped on board with us, the legends of Lick-A-Lan. Lick-A-Lan are absolutely legendary. Of course, choose to drink wise, but great to have them on board. I'm sure they'll get a bottle of wine on the way home. Oh, yeah. A little bit of vino. Mrs. Riccio. Yes, absolutely. What does she drink? She's a white wine.
You'd only drink Italian wine, though, wouldn't you, Dave? The Bordley. Yeah.
There's a lot to get to today. We will start with the Parramatta Eels because it's been a really poor start for their season. It's almost they're already in crisis. There's this injury list that just keeps on growing, boys. The Eels have been diabolical.
And I know injuries are a massive factor, and I can sympathize with them, Charlie, but some of their performances when they've lost by 48, 52, and another excess of 50 against the Titans on the weekend, I just think... I think there's deeper issues. I really do. And again, I say it, injuries play a factor. But you don't get Jason Rolls post-match declaring about as harsh as you can get that his team lacks spirit and desire. That's concerning.
I don't think anyone at the club's trying to sugarcoat it. Obviously, they're pointing out their injury toll, but they've also said quite clearly, it's not good enough, this is unacceptable, and you can understand why the fans boo them. So, look, they're in a bit of a rut at the moment. There's a lot of teams at the moment who can't handle the new rules, I reckon. The six agains and the speed of the game, and they just don't have resilience or... Backbone, when they're put under pressure, I think they're one of those teams. And look, I really like Jason Miles. I think he's been a really good coach for a long time in this game. But he's got a job on his hands at the moment with that footy team. They're just playing terrible.
And the injuries, the worry is a lot of those injuries, they're long-termers.
Yeah.
Hopgood, Iongi's out for a long time. Dury. Dury's out. Bailey Simonson. Jonah's out for a few weeks. Jonah Pezzett. So he's not as long, but they've got a lot of long-term injuries at the moment.
