Triple A and footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Rain Hot Water.
Ben Dobbin 0:05
Ah, hello and welcome to Triple M Sunday. Sinbin, Gordon Tallis, Brent Reid, James Graham and Ben Dolman with you for the next three hours. Then Dan Goddane will be joining you from three o'clock ahead of South Sydney taking on the North Queensland Cowboys. That game kick-off, four o'clock, you'll hear right here on Triple M. Gordon Tallis, a very, very good afternoon to you, my friend.
Gordon Tallis 0:27
Yeah, good afternoon to everybody and all the listeners. Yeah, it's... A shortened week, but still a great week for Rugby League and the Junior Rugby League. The players are going now. There's whistles everywhere and all the kids had a play today.
Ben Dobbin 0:40
Great time of the year.
Gordon Tallis 0:40
I just hope you had a great day.
Ben Dobbin 0:42
Yeah, there's a lot going on. Hello, James Graham. How are you, my friend? Yeah, going very well. Thanks, Ben.
Gordon Tallis 0:48
Obviously, it's a very sad week in the world of Rugby League, which we're going to touch on later. On a positive note, the Dogs did get a victory and are now bumped down to our three on the rundown. Yeah, well, they had a win, but we've got a lot to unpack about that. Against the Melbourne Storm, like one of the champion teams of Australia. No, that's not what I want to unpack. They're on hour three. I tell you what, if they'd have lost, we'd have been off the top rope from hour one, wouldn't we?
Ben Dobbin 1:20
That's not right. That's not right. We set the program according to the news cycle. One of the big stories coming out of that is how you are no longer regarded as a former player anymore. You are now part of the journalist brigade after your by-round exclusive interview with Phil Gould, where he bunched you with the rest of us, which I thought was very spot on by Phil Gould. I thought it was a very good assessment of where your career is heading now. No longer the former player, now the journalist. Anyway, we'll get to that a bit later. Brett Reid, a very good afternoon to you, my friend.
Brent Reid 1:51
Hello, Dobbo. Hello, gents. Let's not get carried away, Jimmy. The Storm had a few players out last night. Just a couple.
Gordon Tallis 1:58
Let's just remember that.
Brent Reid 1:59
Some pretty key ones, too. A bloke named Munster, a bloke named Grant.
Gordon Tallis 2:03
Dogs were at full strength. Dogs were at full strength. Dogs, I forgot about that. That was brilliant. It was a good win, but, you know.
Brent Reid 2:11
Let's just chill.
Ben Dobbin 2:12
We have to wait for three hours. I know. Well, we might bring it forward. How are we going to do it? If you really want us to, we can bring it forward. We just thought we'd let you off the hook after you sucked off air last week about the attacks on the dogs and how you made a complaint to management about how we were being a little unfair in our assessment towards you. So we've pushed it back a little bit. Why didn't he go to HR? He went to HR, yeah. He said, mate, he doesn't like it. Hey, we'll talk about that little visit to HR later on. Don't you worry. Yeah, we certainly will. Let's start with origin. And we've got, obviously, Billy Slater joining us at 12.30. Boyd Cordner will join us later in the show, the assistant coach in New South Wales.
Ben Dobbin 2:52
I'll go to you, Gordie, first up.
Yep.
Ben Dobbin 2:55
You obviously knew more last week than you let on because you were adamant about some of the stuff that had been written in the paper wasn't right and clearly it wasn't with the team.
Gordon Tallis 3:08
Yeah.
Ben Dobbin 3:09
But were you surprised that they left Reece Walsh out of the squad?
Gordon Tallis 3:13
Yes and no. So is Reece Walsh one of my favourite players? Yes. Is Reece Walsh at his best in the top five players, I think, in the competition? Absolutely. Is Reece Walsh playing his best football at the moment? I would say no. And if you ask Reece that, I think the eye socket injury coming back, what is it, normally six to eight weeks? He's played after four. Has Reece got back to the... you know, the style of football that we watched, you know, in the last six or eight rounds last year? Probably not. Is Cal and Ponga at the top of his game? Yes. Yep. So if we left him out and put in a rookie, I'd be really surprised. We put in Cal and Ponga that played last year in Game 1 and Game 2, got injured for Game 3, and Tabui Fadeau come in.
