What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Triple A and footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water.
A listener production.
He's over! This is... What a try! The Knights Clubcast. Holbrook breaks down the South Thriller, the agenda setters debate where KP fits in Maroon's camp, and we kick off with Trey Mooney, fresh off a match winner at McDonald Jones with Charlie White.
Trey, incredible game. How does it feel? Yeah, no, it's unreal. Obviously, we've had some rocky games here at home, so it's just good to really get a good win in front of a good crowd. Hopefully, sort of the back end of the form has been showed to our best, but if we've got the win, then that's all that matters. And you're a try scorer, two tries in this game. You've got the match-winning try. How special is that? Yeah, no, it's awesome. I know it's in the right place at the right time. Like I said, our team's about people going out and doing their jobs, and today I was just doing mine. Coming into the season, your team had a lot of critics about your middle forwards, saying you guys didn't have the middles to compete with the top teams.
What were Trey Mooney's key contributions in his return match?
How great is it week in, week out, you've just proven everyone wrong?
Yeah, that's exactly right. We started seven pre-season. You know, we have a chip on our shoulder. We've got something to prove to the competition. You know, it's only us who knew what was in these four walls. And I'm so grateful in the day. And you seem like just a natural leader. You're an alpha in this team. How special is it for you to have found this home now here in Newcastle? Oh, it's unreal. Like I said, feeling at home, feeling like it belongs half the battle. So, you know, obviously, hopefully my footy is, you know, showing, showcasing that. And I'm just glad to call it Newcastle home. And all good at the end there with Talis? Yeah, mate, he's a player that's got lots of passion, lots of energy, you know, and obviously those energies will collide eventually, so that's all right.
Go and enjoy the win, Trey. Well done. Thank you, mate.
Oh, very diplomatic, Trey Mooney. I think he wanted to say a fair bit more, but well done to him. The match-winning try. Monday's rush hour gets the coach on the line. Holbrook, next.
We are the home of Rugby League via Triple M and Listener, and this bloke cannot walk the streets of Newcastle anymore. Man about town, Knights coach Justin Holbrook, welcome to the Rush Hour, old mate. Yeah, thanks for having me. Mate, all sorts of suggestions that, you know, you'd be happy with yesterday, but I don't know how you could be. I mean, I've never seen a side invite the opposition back in like your mob did.
Oh, that's rough.
No, that's right. Obviously, as you said, you know, look, really good first half from us and then, yeah, we made a couple of errors and you opened the door against South Sydney, very good attacking side and made it a really tough afternoon for us. But you know what? To give our boys credit, obviously we got behind but still found a way to win the game. So that was the most pleasing thing.
Yeah, absolutely. And over 20,000 people there. What was it? A Sunday Arvo footy at McDonald Jones. So good. But what was it like having, you know, had KP back? He was on fire. Braddy Best, Dil Lucas, Frizzell. He had plenty of players out. What was it like to have them all back for the week at training into the game?
Yeah, so much better, Millie. Obviously, yeah. Yeah, just, you know, we were good enough to jag a couple of wins without them early in the year and then we had a tough few weeks and then, you know, we needed a bit of a lift and obviously those key guys coming back in was huge for us and they played a massive part straight away. First game back, obviously, I think Diluka scored a couple, Bradman would have had a couple, the tri-assist and Kalen was in everything for us. So, yeah, we know how even a competition it is. So, you know, it was often... As you can to get the best players on the food, you're going to give yourself your best chance. And we needed them yesterday and they all played really well for us.
