What insights did Charlie White gain from his trip to PNG?
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.
Here we go!
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.
I love being a part of it. I'm learning to feel real at the moment. It's a tough game to play.
Massive responsibility. Very, really good chance. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily on your Wednesday, which means the journos edition. It's Charlie White here. I'm joined by two of my favourite journalists in rugby league. The great Adam Pengelly, the great Danny Wydler.
How are you, boys? Charlie, I thought we might have had Maroon hosting today.
After your little holiday. My jaunt. What are you calling it? Junket?
How did Paul Gallen and James Bracey's debate unfold on 100% Footy?
I heard junket. I've got a new name for you. You've been going around being labelled Channel 7 Charlie. Yeah. I think it's Chief Charlie now, don't you? Yes. Chief Charlie is in the house.
I like that.
Yeah. It was cool, though. We flew over Monday morning and got back late last night. It was a good trip. Well, tell us about it. I don't want to hear the good trip. Yeah, it came about very last minute. So Chammy called me on Thursday night. We were in here doing Women's State of Origin. He called me and I said, oh, mate, what's doing? And he said, do you and Jimmy want to come over to Port Moresby and check it all out? And I was like, oh, mate, sure. Let me ring Jimmy. Sussed it all out. Went along over and we got to see everything behind it. And you took other podcasters with him as well. They did, yeah.
What are the challenges faced by the Perth Bears in the NRL?
So the Hello Sport guys were there, which is Tom and Eddie and Levels were all there with Willie, Justin Horrow and Lukey, their producer there, who's a guru. Their producer's a gun.
Super smart move from Chammy to do that, by the way. Yes. It's... a really intelligent way to approach things. And it just goes on the back of everything he did with the Jerome Buller stuff. Really smart.
Yeah, Jerome Luai. Yeah, just moment.
Sorry, Luai. I've got Buller on the mind.
Yeah, we all got Buller on the mind. He's creamy. But no, it was an amazing trip and we got to see everything. So we got to see the airways facility where they're all going to be living. So they've got, it's just a hole in the ground basically right now where they're building their apartments. But you can see the facilities and everything that's there. We saw, we went down to the beach and, you know, a lot of the local kids came and played footy and Justin Horrow and Willie Mason were out there with Jimmy Graham playing footy with the local kids. Jamie was there as well. Chammy was out there taking pictures. It's funny. Selfies of himself? Yeah, well, it's funny. The kids come up to you and ask you to take a selfie with them because they don't have a phone.
How does Mal Meninga's role impact the future of the Perth Bears?
So they want you to take a picture with them on your phone. Right. Yeah.
What happens to that?
It's just on your phone, like nothing. But they just want to be, I guess, get the picture, but they haven't got their own phone, a lot of them. Mate, it was interesting you had about – 500 kids down there playing, and there was one footy. There was kids just doing, they were doing a thing called a 15-minute bronco, whereas you just keep doing a bronco as many as you can. That's the 1.2-kilometer test. Yeah, but you just keep it going, basically, for 15 minutes.
I saw some of the scenes. It looked really good.
On the ground, how was it? Mate, for me, it's kind of like going to Bali. Like, it's a... Well, you're a singlet having bin tans and getting in blues? No, that's not my version of Bali. But it's kind of like there's... It's Bali, I guess, without the beach club party element to it. But it's a third world country. Like, there's, I mean, a lot of poverty there and you drive around the streets and there's a lot of poverty. But then you're in this... which is very sheltered from that. Like in terms of safety for the players.
Did you feel safe? Completely safe.
