Triple A and footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water.
Yeah, welcome to Thursday Night Footy. All thanks to Ampol. Go from A to anywhere with Ampol. We love you, Ampol. Thanks for joining us on a Thursday Night Footy. We've got Wade Graham, Jimmy Graham and Charlie White in the house. How are you, boys?
I'm fantastic, Charlie. Better than Jimmy. He's had a bit of a rough trop here at Fonbank Stadium. Last week rolls in on a Thursday after the English team gets bundled out of the World Cup. And no, not the next week. It turns up. tries to go have his pre-game ritual Earl Grey tea. Is it? Oh, no, sorry, English breakfast tea.
Only Earl Grey at the ground. First world problems. Not ideal.
I thought it was a bit aggressive that you blew up at the staff here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. There was no blow-up. It was a request. A stern request. Would you admit it was stern? Well, you've got to make sure you're serious.
Yeah, yeah.
Because someone could interpret it as a joke. Like, oh, there's a bloke in there that's asked for tea. Is he joking? No, no, he's being serious.
Are they on it? Are they on the tea track? I hope so. We're going to find out at the next break. Well, in more important news, the Tigers are tigering, as Dan Ganane has said before. They are in all sorts. And we've got David Riccio on the line to talk us through exactly what's going on because Adam Dewey has walked out of training, boys, which is a massive news. And Dave joins us on the line. How are you, Dave? Good evening, boys. Mate, what is going on? What is Adam doing?
Yeah, what is Adam doing? Look, clearly it's a massive story. Adam Dewey, one of the most influential figures, both on and off the field for the West Tigers this season, held a meeting this morning with head coach Benji Marshall, where it was intended that Marshall was to play Adam Dewey in the lock forward position against the Raiders this weekend. And ultimately, Adam has... made his feelings felt towards that decision and declared to Benji that he's not in the right mental state to be part of this game this weekend. That is what we know on the surface. I would argue below the surface, there is still a lot more to play out here as far as the real reasons why Adam Dewey has decided to step down from this game this weekend.
So Dave, it's Jan Maria. Just to clarify, obviously this situation has happened. Dewey successfully fought that charge. Tuesday was allowed to play. He's gone into training today with the understanding that he's going to be in the halves. That's been moved, but there's... underlying issues there with Dewey and Benji or Dewey and the club? Where does this all stem from?
I don't think there's underlying issues with Benji. You only have to go back four months when Adam Dewey actually extended with the club. He knocked back an offer from the St. George Illawarra Dragon, re-signed it through until 2029. And it was Adam Dewey that spoke so glowingly about Benji and the vision and the pathway forward for the footy club. And pretty much ever since he's been on board with Benji, I think this is about... I think there's many layers to it, really.
What happened between Adam Doueihi and Benji Marshall that sparked the Tigers drama?
I don't think there's one real reason. I think there's many layers to it. And I think the moving to the lock forward position is only one of those layers. I think the situation of Jerome Luai being retained in the halves when he's not at the football club over Adam Dewey would be another layer I think a deeply passionate footballer and wanting only the best for the football club I think Adam Dewey and please let it be known I haven't spoken to Adam Dewey but I am going on on a number of conversations with key individuals that I've had today involved with the West Tigers club that suggests that Adam's taking a line in the sand moment for some standards that he's not willing to walk past inside the football club.
And ultimately it led to this. Now, on the surface, guys, it is so, I can understand this point of view. It's a very, very simple point of view that from a fan's point of view, here's a football player that's highly paid and he's being petulant and selfish and
