Friflame Footy lives on Lister, thanks to McDonald's and Rheam Hot Water. The NRL finals are 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. On Triple M. This is NRL Daily Finals Edition.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily here on your Monday. Oh, what a weekend of footy. Week two of finals in the books. We know who's in the prelims, Charlie White here, and as always we've got the Graham Family Trust on a Monday. How are you boys?
I'm great I'm great boys. How you boys doing? Just got off the plane? Up the plane from New Zealand. Uh big trip. A lot of uh motion over there from the the locals. Um such high hopes for the Wars. Um and Newcastle just a little bit too good.
Yeah, sometimes you you wish the flight was a little bit longer, that three hours probably isn't quite enough time to get a full nap in. But uh here we are, Wade. Um yeah, the Warriors out in straight sets, which is hugely disappointing as you know, you don't wanna predict too much, but I was looking forward to seeing how uh the Wars fans and uh they would take over a course stadium, but it wasn't to be. All credit to the night, so I thought, you know, everything all said and done, we are gonna die I checked it. I thought the better team won.
What what a story about the Knights. Like last year, Wooden Spooners. Um I I certainly didn't give him much hope this year coming to this season. And then Justin Holbrook, um, he takes over the reigns there. Basically, the same squad. I had Dylan Brown and Sandon Smith, who Sandon Smith's been massive the last couple of weeks. His goal kicking in particular, there was a difference yesterday. Um and Dylan Brown has missed a bit of footy, but he he'll come back. But what he's been able to do with that group of players and the momentum that they have, the belief that they have, whether they, you know, progressed further than the prelim or not, it's been a hell of a year. Hell of a season for the Knights.
Well Jimmy certainly didn't tip the Knights much going to the season 'cause they were your wooden spooners, mate. Oh yeah, they're not going to be a little bit more. I think I did too. I think
I tipped them for wooden spooners well. Yeah.
Wow. There you go. Well it's okay to be wrong. It is
Okay, to be wrong. No idea. And you know what? We were we were proved wrong by the Knights. What what what a turnaround it's been. W w Wade spoke there about Justin coming in. Um It it clear it was made public that he tapped into the community aspect of the team and what the what What the people of Newcastle are like and they resemble, they took he took them down to the minds. Um but but I think there's obviously a bit more to it than that, you know, speaking to people around the traps, he allows them to be a bit freer on and off the field. I think their style that they play with as well really suits the personnel with the with the speed that they have. They love to chuck the ball around. They got they came up with a line break in the second.
Second set of and they really should have scored as well in that moment. Yeah. But that that's the that's the way that
They play, it's a great style to watch. Well, you said you were excited to see the Wiles fans show up. Well, they've already sold twenty thousand tickets. Well they've in fact some annoying more than that probably now. They sold twenty thousand tickets for Knights fans within an hour of the game finishing.
That's unbelievable. Yeah. But we know how much footy means to the the Newcastle community. Um and I think the players uh just going a bit further on what Jimmy said, they they they really understand what that football club means to their community up there and
What sparked the controversy over the Warriors' performance at Eden Park?
You you hear all of them in their interviews after um they're so proud to represent that community and they're proud that they're winning. Um and they're proud that they're they're bringing some joy into everyone up in Newcastle's life.
It's a cracking obviously weekend Jimmy that we've just had over there in New Zealand.
