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.
Joey Montagna 0:25
I love being a part of it. I'm feeling real at the moment.
Brent Read 0:31
It's a tough game to play. Massive responsibility. A really good chance. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Tony Squires 0:36
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily. My name's Tony Squires alongside James Graham and Wade Graham. When the footy's on and you can't miss a moment, get Maccas delivered for a 99 cent delivery fee only on the MyMaccas app. How are you hitting them, Wade? Tony, it's great to see you, to be honest.
Wade Graham 0:52
I walked in and saw your face. And listen, Charlie, he normally runs the show here, but we know he's gallivanting around North America at the moment. Yes.
Tony Squires 0:59
in the Soccer World Cup so we had Emma step in last week and I missed Saturday I know with you this weekend but it was great to see you so on my birthday I'm here as well so there you go oh happy birthday there you go I'm at that age now James where even too old for the Beatles to sing about my age that's a cryptic clue okay okay you know what when people ask how old you are I actually I'm like
James Graham 1:22
Who asked that question? Who cares? It's irrelevant information. I am who I am. I've got to this stage in my life. Let's just crack on.
Tony Squires 1:31
I love it. And let's just crack on. Speaking of Charlie being in North America, Ghana for England, I think, on Wednesday.
James Graham 1:37
Yes, everything's looking good after that 4-2 victory against Croatia. Positive vibes for England. But if there's one thing I know about the English press, they can't wait for us to fail. So, look, I'll be behind the boys all the way near. Charlie over there. at time of recording witnessing an absolute classic between New Zealand and Egypt. I mean, talk about money can't buy experiences. That is just, I'm so jealous.
Tony Squires 2:05
Both teams park the bus and nobody wants to score a goal. Of course, they do have Mo Salah. Yeah. They do.
James Graham 2:11
I mean, you get to witness the Egyptian king in action live. I mean, I'd just be player watching him.
Tony Squires 2:17
The Socceroos don't have to face Almiron for Paraguay. The best red card ever. I don't know if you saw this, Wado. He was sent from the field for covering his mouth while talking.
James Graham 2:29
Well, they're the rules. It is a strange one. It is a strange one.
Tony Squires 2:35
All right, let's get to the footy, the Roosters over the Sharkies. The Roosters came out firing. The Sharkies did come back, but it was a terrific performance by the Roosters.
Wade Graham 2:44
It was a high-quality game, particularly that first half. Both teams... Really getting after each other, had that semi-final feel about it. Huge respect amongst the two teams. Obviously, coached by Trent Robinson, Craig Fitzgibbon, a long relationship there at the Roosters together before Fitzy came over to the Sharks. So there is a respect between the clubs, but a rivalry building and... The biggest example on the field of that was Moola Tala up against Nwangane Tawase. Good. And it ended up being a tough night for Ronnie. It was certainly physical early on. Emotions brought over a couple of times and discipline hurt him a little bit. But then Nwangane Tawase in that second half, some class, a couple of tries there to seal the game.
Wade Graham 3:31
So a high quality game. I just think, listen, in that performance, the Roosters, they bounced back after their last month. really strong physical through the middle and then the class off the back. Their offloads really caused that defense of the Sharks some problems. 15 alone in the first half and a couple of those led to tries. And then the Sharks... In terms of the physicality, they just looked a little bit off. And the return of Nico Hines, Blake Braley, particularly Blake in the middle, two weeks after breaking his arm.
Tony Squires 4:02
20 days after breaking an arm, there he is running around. Not even the Mal Meninga kind of big foam thing, but it's quite amazing, that performance.
