[00:01:06] Hey there, welcome to SharkCast, part of the podcast dedicated to the greatest sporting club in the history of the entire universe. I mean that with my whole heart and everything else inside and outside of me. This is SharkCast, brought to you by Dyson Logistics, the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Port Hacking and Jason Hawes at Cripps and Cripps Real Estate. My name is Sam Shinazzi, OG 2015, bursting with pride for the black, white and blue after what was an absolutely magical evening down at Shark Stadium.

[00:01:33] The inaugural Hall of Fame presentation, absolutely fantastic, spectacular event and one that really tugged on the heartstrings of fans of all ages. It doesn't matter whether you are a current fan or you're a fan in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s. We had you covered because it was just an absolutely magical evening for the club.

[00:01:57] Now on this episode you're going to hear some short sharp interviews with a whole bunch of players from different eras, which was just my absolute honor to do. I'll talk a little bit about what happened for those of you who couldn't be there. There is a live stream that we did about halfway through the show with myself, Gary Dover, Josh Bolling and Ash Taylor, who is the club historian. So go seek that out. You can seek that out on a new website of ours, sharkcast.com.au.

[00:02:24] You can watch it on YouTube. You can watch it on the website. You can listen to it however you normally listen to it. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just letting you know I've got a new website, sharkcast.com.au. Please be kind. I did it myself and it's still a work in progress. There's a lot of cool stuff on there. I hope you get to enjoy it. But we're here to talk about the main event that was last night, the inaugural Hall of Fame.

[00:02:46] And from start to finish, it was just an event hit out of the park by the club, by the hosts Yvonne Sampson and Andrew Voss, the staff who did all sorts of things from both the club and externally who were looking after the patrons. Just a fantastic evening. I can't stress that enough. We were guests of the club, but that's not why I'm saying it. I'm saying it because it was a thorough success and it was a night to remember.

[00:03:15] And the Sharks have documented it really well so far, both as a live event and the following day. If you go to all their social media, go to their website, the Sharks will look after you. This is an additional service we're doing because this is what we do. We live, breathe Sharks. And it was truly, truly an honor to be down there at the event. Now, we do know that there were already a bunch of immortals and they were thrust into the Hall of Fame.

[00:03:45] Automatically as they should be. And that was for Greg Pearce, Steve Rogers, both who have passed on sadly. Tommy Bishop, who couldn't be there last night. And two legends that were absolutely in the house, Gavin Miller and Andrew Eddinghausen. Some really moving speeches that was kind of the theme of the night. Both Greg Pearce and Steve Rogers and also Tommy Bishop were represented by family. They all did an amazing job.

[00:04:12] We'll give a particular shout out to our mate Donnie Rogers, who's playing the Brass Monkey this Saturday night in Cronulla. If you're around and you want to get a ticket, tell him that Shark Cast sent you. Particularly if you like a bit of country, rock and roll. That's his thing and he's getting real good at it. But he read a poem that he wrote about his dad and it was simply beautiful. And that was one of the first kind of real emotional parts of the night of which there were plenty.

[00:04:39] Absolutely tore at your heartstrings in a really good way. It made you feel good. Sad, but good. So that kind of in-between feeling where it's just devastatingly beautiful. So shout out to Donnie and also Matt, who had some kind words as well to say. But they were put into the Hall of Fame, as was Gavin Miller and Andrew Eddinghausen. Absolutely beautiful scenes with their former coach and the current coach's dad. So Alan Fitzgibbon was there.

[00:05:08] And it's one of the first times he's been in public doing this kind of thing. He did do a, I think it was a grand final lunch since then. And he's not the most public figure, but he was out and about last night. Great to see him and hear him talk especially. And the crowd really appreciated him being there. And it was just really one of the series of events that reminded you what a family-orientated club the Sharks can be.

[00:05:36] From the Rogers clan to Fitzgibbons. Rogers Sr. played with E.T. who played with Rogers Jr. Just connections like that, really special. And Gavin Miller had a lot to say. Beautiful words, of course. And you'll hear some of his words with us in the interview we did with him shortly. But he's never short for a word about the black, white and blue.

[00:06:00] Andrew Eddinghausen, one of the surprises of the night was that he was just so overcome with emotion. And particularly when it came to talking about Steve Rogers, he just broke down. And it was beautiful, as I said. You know, just beautiful because that's how much he cares about the club and his teammates. That got everyone going. E.T. was just very emotional. Something I admire a lot in someone like that who opens themselves up like that.

[00:06:26] And once he started, he couldn't really stop with the emotions. It was really beautiful. And he's a great man. We spoke to him as well. You'll hear his interview with us shortly. But he was great. They were all great. Every speech was great. But E.T. kind of, I think, stole the show along with Donnie's poem. I think there's vision of that out there. We did stream a lot of the event from where we were in Steve Mace's box. Shout out to Steve Mace. It's quite a distance away from the stage. But you can see.

[00:06:56] And the audio is pretty good. So if you want to check out that, we can only do it via our Facebook feed. So Shark Cast Pod on Facebook is where you'll see most of the event from that angle. And apologies if it moves around a little bit. But it's not too bad. And we got a lot of feedback thanking us for that. So if that's your jam, go jam. There was then a dinner break.

[00:07:20] And I was fortunate enough to do a live stream with Josh Bolling, who was my companion for the night. And a great companion at that. Massive help as well. And Gary Dover came along and had a chat. Ash Taylor, club historian, also heavily involved in the night, came and had a chat as well. So it was really good fun talking with those guys. That is available on YouTube. It's on our website. The audio is up everywhere it normally is. So that was that.

[00:07:46] A bit more in-depth in the moment documentation of what was going on. I'm quite overawed by it all. And still coming down off a pretty high cloud, I've got to say. Because it was just a really beautiful event. Now, following that break, Dylan Wright did a short set, which was Lights Out, including his song about the Sharks, winning the grand final. And I have to apologize, we did do an interview with Dylan. It was a fancy, fun one, and his brother popped in as well to have a chat, Adam.

[00:08:15] But I have done something with the file. I don't know what's happened with the data, so to speak. So if I find that somehow, I'll recover it. I'll throw it up. Apologies to Dylan. Apologies to Adam. Apologies to our listeners. It's not often this sort of thing happens, but it can happen. So that was just an unfortunate thing that's happened, a bit of a hiccup. It was a pretty crazy short period of time just sort of running around trying to grab people and making sure I hit record, etc., etc.

[00:08:44] So I don't know what's happened, but we did speak at Dylan. He did tell us that he's been listening to the show, and he appreciates all the support that he gets from those of you that support him who listen to the show. So shout out again to you, my friend Dylan. And he was fantastic. And he featured later on in the night as well, doing a song for all of the new members. Now, speaking of the new members, when I say members, I'm talking about of the Hall of Fame. It was then time to, I guess, go to the main event of the proceedings.

[00:09:11] And I can't quite remember the order that it happened in, but this is what happened in the second part of the show. And I know most of you know what's happened anyway. But Dane Sorensen got up as a new Hall of Fame member for the Cronulla Sharks and thoroughly deserved. Absolute legend of the club, on and off the field. And he was great. He was probably the person who spoke the least, but his words were great.

[00:09:34] Having met Dane once only on grand final night, I remember him being really reserved, really polite, really humble. And that's what he got last night. So thorough congratulations to him on his Hall of Fame induction. We had some greatness in the house. And we spoke to him after the event. Got a cool photo. And that was David Peachy, an absolute fan favorite. Everywhere he went, he was mobbed and rightly so.

[00:10:01] And Dave Peachy is the new member of a Hall of Fame. Some great highlights. His speech was really terrific. He's, again, a really humble guy. Speaks well. He's looking fantastic. It meant the world to him, you could see. So, as fans, it's not often you come across someone who doesn't say David Peachy's in their top three favorite players of all time. And just remarkable. I'm so, I was so happy, so pumped to see him up there, to see him out and about.

[00:10:28] And David Peachy was exactly how you'd imagine to be, accepting the award. Next one was Jason Stevens. He's a real character. We had a short chat with him, which you'll hear. Jason Stevens, Hall of Fame for his time at Cronulla. He was really funny in his speech, but I think he's just a funny guy anyway. It was still very heartfelt. Appreciative, full of praise for a lot of people who had gotten him to where he was. So, Jason Stevens was up there.

[00:10:54] Matt Rogers got the call up and he was completely overcome with emotion. He was just so in the moment. And I think it just hit him real hard that he was achieving this. He spoke about his dad, obviously, and his family and his friends from far and wide. And he talked about his time in Cronulla, time in Queensland. His speech was really good. Definitely seek it out if you can. You've got to acknowledge that he is a great shark, Matt Rogers.

[00:11:24] What he did for the club, where he came from, the circumstances. And as time goes on, if you read his most recent book, which was out about a year ago, I think, you know that he appreciates his time at Cronulla more and more as time goes on. So, congratulations to Matt. Also a very popular figure down at the club. Paul Gallen was given the accolade. And obviously, one of the most, if not the most deserving person to get this for everything he did, everything he put his body through.

[00:11:53] One of the more popular choices and receptions for the players. It was great. His speeches are just always right on. I mean, you look at Paul and you say, one of the best forwards ever. He's put his head in a million scrums, made a million tackles. His public speaking is fantastic. And go back to the grand final if you need further proof. But his speech last night was top notch. It was very factual. He didn't hide from anything. He talked about some of the dark times.

[00:12:22] He was full of praise for his 2016 teammates as well as coaching staff and just former greats. So, it meant the world to Paul Gallen. You could see that. I spoke briefly with him on the way in and he was just pumped. He was with his young family and thoroughly deserved, you know, in my opinion, the greatest shark of all time. Great to see that accolade for Paul Gallen. I would imagine he's on his way to immortality at some point. Technically, he's already immortal to many of us.

[00:12:52] Now, last up, I don't think I'm missing anyone here. Last up was Brett Noddy Camoli who appeared on this show a couple of years ago, maybe three years ago. It was the last interview Newman and I did together. And we interviewed Brett Camoli down at the Aurora Motor Yacht Club. And Noddy gave us about two hours of his time and great speaker. And he really won me over that night in a lot of ways. And go back and seek that out. Brett Camoli interview, Shark House Pod. He speaks so honestly. And that's how he spoke last night.

[00:13:21] He, again, was high on emotion. Spoke about his wife who'd passed away and his children and what it meant to him. He spoke about the highs and lows at the club. We didn't shy away from that. He thanked Chris Anderson. And, again, a pretty honest dude who just says what he thinks. And he played that way. And, yeah, there's a couple of guys that we will talk about in future episodes who we might debate about. We could have put this guy in before this guy, etc.

[00:13:50] As I've said all along, there's no real wrong answers here. Whoever gets up, they actually tick the boxes that's needed. And whether it's your first choice, your third choice, whatever you think on the people that have gone through already, they all deserve to be there. So does Brett Camoli. And he was pretty happy. We got to hang out with him a little bit after the event and then walking out. And he was pretty happy. Great stuff for Brett Camoli. He's a hall of famer. And then they took a big picture of them all.

[00:14:19] And then the reveal was revealed. And that's a new mural outside of Shark Stadium. And it's on the left when you enter. So the first part of the entry, I guess, if you're approaching the stadium from the city. I'm getting bad with geography like I always do. But you'll see it. There's 11 guys up there. It looks amazing. It's not painted on. It's a different kind of vibe. But it looks fantastic.

[00:14:47] And the club needs to be applauded for that kind of thing. We want more. We want the black wall in Shark Stadium to be covered up with Fafita and Wade in 2016. And whatever else you want to deem worthy, of course. But more of that, please. Just absolutely brings it home what these players mean to this club. And then after the event, people hung about a bit.

[00:15:13] And Josh and I got to speak to a whole bunch of former greats, which was our honor. We have to point out we met a lot of listeners as well. And we appreciate that more than you'll ever know. Had some great chats with some listeners. So we appreciate that. We know you're listening right now. You know who you are. Don't ever stop listening. What else can we say about that? Look, I could ramble all day and night about what went down at Shark Stadium on Tuesday night. But I'm not going to.

[00:15:43] Not now, at least. I'm going to run some interviews we did. They're short. They're sharp. It's red carpet. The aim is to get someone, keep them for a little bit, move on. We didn't want to labor too much with anyone. And that is why they are as brief as they are. But hopefully you enjoy them. I know I had an absolute ball talking to people. Again, apologies to Dylan Wright and his brother Adam. I don't know what's happened to your interview. If I find it, I'll throw it up. You know how I feel, Dylan. Hope you're all doing well.

[00:16:13] The round one fixture is coming real soon. It's, what is it? Less than two weeks away. Bunch of us leave pretty soon for Nevada. That's going to be a thing in itself. So stay tuned to Shark Cast. We are going to cover it as best we can. Not sure exactly how it's going to look, but there's going to be lots of things for you to listen to. If you don't follow us on social media and you have social media, I'd recommend you follow us.

[00:16:41] I think primarily Instagram and Facebook. We are on the X. We're not fans of the X, but we're on there. We're on the Blue Sky thingamajiggy as well. And TikTok. There's a bunch of things we're on. But if you're partial at all to Facebook and Instagram, and I'm not saying they're better than anything else. It's just the ones we kind of are using at the moment the most, particularly with video. Then make sure you follow us because that's where you're going to get a lot of the action.

[00:17:09] You will also definitely get podcasts. You will get live videos on the YouTube, etc. Sorry. Also with YouTube. Follow us on there because we do throw up a lot of things on there now. So if you have YouTube and account there, give us a follow SharkCastPod. And that's a really good way to keep up with us in Las Vegas. You can email us, SharkCastPod at gmail.com. We will get to that as soon as we can.

[00:17:39] We will let you know about hangouts because we're going to be hanging out in Vegas and we want to hang out with you. So before I go, I've got an email that came in just before from Mark. And Mark was at the event. And I just wanted to read that out before we get into the interviews. A short note on my experience at last night's Hall of Fame. I attended with my son, Lewis, and we had great seats in the ET stand about three rows back from the red carpet.

[00:18:07] There was plenty of space between the fans, which was great because we could relax and spread out a little bit. It was exciting to watch the attendees arrive and walk the red carpet and try to recognize the old faces. I was engrossed in the proceedings, which were presented well by Yvonne Sampson and Andrew Voss. The presentation of the attendees of the five immortals into the Hall of Fame was incredibly emotional. And it highlighted how much these great players love our club.

[00:18:31] The poem by Donnie Rogers about his dad and the emotions shown by ET towards the Rogers family were unforgettable highlights for me. The intertwining of brief highlights footage into the presentation is also very well done. As these players reflected on their careers and their love for the Sharks, I also reflected on my time as a Sharks fan. I go back to the old days of the old timber scoreboard, the corrugated iron grandstand, the new later ET stand as well.

[00:18:57] I was fortunate enough to watch all the immortals play and I think I probably have all their autographs in a book tucked away somewhere in my box at home. During the break in proceedings, Lewis and I caught up with Ash Taylor, our club historian, and we carried on excitedly like footy fans. When the next six players were inducted, Lewis and I tried to guess who they'd be. Dane Sorensen, man of few words. The Peach, didn't he speak well. Matt Rogers, so honored and so emotional. Steve-O, Gal and Noddy all spoke from the heart.

[00:19:26] It was an honor to be there to experience the event. On my way out, I got the first viewing of the Wall of Fame. Wow, what a wonderful gesture by the club to our inaugural Hall of Fame inductees. I was so fortunate to be able to share this with my son, Lewis, who, as you know, recently became a father. I look forward to sharing our love for the Sharks with my granddaughter, Heidi, and one day bringing her down to Shark Park. Congratulations to the club and all who are involved in developing the Hall of Fame concept and in presenting the event. What a special night. Let's bring on the season.

[00:19:56] Up, up. Cheers, Mark. That's for Mark. He's a regular listener. I really appreciate you letting us all know your experience at the Hall of Fame. I'm sure it echoes most people who were there. Just a terrific night. I know we keep saying that, but it really was. That's what's going on. This is SharkarsPod. We're not going anywhere. In fact, we're going to be in your grill. So stick with us. We appreciate you all.

[00:20:26] Coming up is a whole bunch of short chats with absolute shark legends. Up, up. All right, SharkarsPod here with the great Andrew Oettinghausen at the Hall of Fame. So how are you feeling tonight? Yeah, very excited. It's, you know, the first of these occasions. So it's really nice to be able to sit back and watch who, you know, who gets up there and who are the next Hall of Famers. You're going to get your special time being acknowledged.

[00:20:55] You must be proud. You lit this place up for so many years and tonight you're going to be doing it again. Yeah, well, you know what? It's fantastic to have the function out on the field and to actually have the general public here as well. Just absolutely awesome. You know, normally at these events they're all closed door and nobody ever gets the chance to actually experience it for themselves. So it's going to be tremendous.

[00:21:16] So hopefully there's a couple hundred people turn up and there's no doubt that everyone will be excited at the tables because, you know, there's going to be some new inductees, which is fabulous. And, you know, probably a long time coming. Who's a smokey for you? I tell you what, there's a lot of players who I played with who probably just didn't quite get the accolades that they deserved. Even guys like David Hatch who captained the Sharkies for a number of years. Toughest guy out there on the field. Really tried his guts out. Not sure if he's even eligible, you know.

[00:21:45] I think you have to have won a premiership or played for Australia or New South Wales. So, you know, a tough critter who, you know, really put his heart and soul into the Sharks for many years. But I think, you know, there's going to be some excited fans up here in the stand watching the different players who are nominated and who do get up there and receive this accolade because it's a very special one. How are you feeling about Vegas? Yes. Very, very excited about Vegas.

[00:22:14] Fortunately, I've been able to get a ticket on the plane. So, I will be over there. And I'm in raptures. So, you know, I was fortunately there. We played an 87 State of Origin there, which was just incredible back in LA. And I think Vegas, this trip around, will be something very special as well. Thanks for your time. Have a great night. Go the Sharks. Good on you. No worries. Have a great night. Cheers. Thank you. Good night. Yeah, it'll be great.

[00:22:46] Hall of Fame. Toby Rudolph. Not your night tonight for Hall of Fame, but it's an exciting night for the club. How are you feeling? Yeah, feeling good. I didn't realise that it was this size of an event. There's red carpet here. I haven't seen that before in my life. There's an actual gazebo on the stage. It's all looking very schmick and schmarmy. And, yeah, feeling electric. How's the injury? Yeah, feeling okay. I had a scan last week and it's fully healed. So, able to sort of ramp up the rehab now and hope it's been to some contact and get it going.

[00:23:15] And aiming for round two or three. But we'll see how we go. How's the vibe in the club as the boys all walk through avoiding us? How's it going? How's it feeling? The word in the street, I want to tell you, is a lot of hope. Yeah, definitely. Look, I think we all realise that we have a window here to do something special in this game. And this season has been more exciting than any other. The excitement around the group is insane, especially with Vegas coming around the corner. I'm going to Vegas.

[00:23:43] There's the running joke about me going to Vegas. Obviously, I'm not. But at least the boys are. They're really looking forward to it. And I'll be too if I was them in their shoes. So, mate, look out for the Cronulla Sharks this year. Thank you, Toby. Speak to you soon. Thank you. How are you? How are you? Can we have a chat? Yeah, for sure. Brayden Hamilali. Welcome to SharkCast. How are you going, man? Two trials in. Looking fit? Yeah, feeling fit. I'm feeling a lot better than I have previous preseasons. I guess this is the longest one I've had in a while.

[00:24:12] And I just feel grateful to be able to do it. You know, the body's actually holding up this year. And I lost a few kilos. So, it's feeling good. You look really good. Thank you. Congrats on the birth. How's the fatherhood going? Yeah, that's... It's tough compared to footy, right? Yeah, yeah. It's tough, but it's probably the most rewarding thing I've ever had in my life. So, yeah. My son is the apple of my eye, Little Eastern. And he's coming to Vegas with his mum. So, they'll both be there in the stands supporting me.

[00:24:40] And what a story, you know? 12 weeks old and he's going to Vegas to watch his dad play in the NRL. It's pretty crazy. Thanks for your time, man. Good luck. Have a great year. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. All right, here we go. Ben Ross, SharkCast spot. It's been a long time. My hands, right? Big man. How you doing? You're on air. How you going? Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I'm excited. I want to see who's in the Hall of Fame. Who do you think? You? No, not a chance, mate. Maybe for most injuries I'll get in there, slide in.

[00:25:09] You're one of the great shark props, man. We love you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Some good contenders here tonight, though. It's exciting to see some of the old heads. But have a look at this new team that we've got. I'm pretty excited for the first round. Fanua Blake walked past and I was genuinely scared for my life. Really? Is he looking fit? I haven't seen him yet. I haven't seen him. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he's like. He's the dominant prop of the game, isn't he? Yeah. Have a great night. Thank you. We'll talk later. Yeah, definitely.

[00:25:53] We're here with Jason Stevens. Big night for the Sharks. I've got a feeling it could be a big night for you. How are you feeling tonight? It's a great event here. Yeah, you get a bit emotional actually coming back to Shark Park. I've been coming over the last couple of years, bringing my five-year-old Presley here. And just when the boys aren't training and doing a run with him. And it just brings back so many great, great memories. Tell me about some of the highlights from Sharks playing days.

[00:26:19] Oh, I think the highlights for me was probably the final we played against Canterbury when Martin Lang and I, we were so close that he wanted to score a try. I know. And we were roomed together. We were best mates. And I got to put a little pass through. I remember. And he went over and I think that was the most, probably the most joyful time I've ever had. Even though, you know, played for Australia and we won World Cups. And fortunately we won, you know, Origin Series.

[00:26:48] In fact, part of the last New South Wales team to win 3-0, which has got to change this year. It's got to change. Thanks for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Have a great night. Yeah, love it. Just a bit of a chat. Yeah. Shotcast pod with the great, the legendary Gavin Miller. What a big night for you tonight. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel fantastic.

[00:27:11] To get such great recognition from the club and to be inducted in the Hall of Fame is something very special to me. And I'm actually overwhelmed about what's going to occur tonight. So all I can say is that the Sharks over many, many years has been a great deal to me.

[00:27:39] I'm very passionate about the club and I have been for a long time. So look, it's an exciting night for me tonight. And I'm looking forward to engaging with all the people that are here today. I think they're going to want to engage with you, my friend. You're a legend of this club. You're going to be up on stage getting your accolades as well again. Are you going to be able to keep tall Tom Hazleton around here? What's going on there? Well, that's very interesting.

[00:28:08] And look, without getting involved in the political side of things, you can appreciate that I would be extremely disappointed if Tommy moved on. But unfortunately, the game has been primarily controlled now by agents and people who represent the players.

[00:28:37] And so more importantly is what they do now is that they chase the big dollar. So yet again, what I'm about to say is that unfortunately, they're talking big numbers, aren't they?

[00:28:56] And so it would put the Sharks in a great deal of difficulty to be able to match what the other clubs that are involved in the negotiations with his manager would be able to afford. So that in itself to me is extremely disappointing.

[00:29:19] I think knowing that we've got Craig Fitzgibbon, son of your friend Alan, I think that's one of our big talking points. I think he might hang on to him if he really wants him. He'll find a way. Well, I hope so. And as you can appreciate, Alan, I had my most successful period of rugby league in the six years that Alan was here as coach.

[00:29:44] He was assistant coach to Jack for three years and then he took over as head coach. And during that period, under Alan Fitzgibbon is when I blossomed and I was able to play my best football. Hey, thanks for your time. Have a great night. My pleasure. And thank you for everything you've done for this club. Yeah, I love this club. We love you, Gav. Thanks, brother. Here it comes. Hines for the win.

[00:30:21] They've done it again at the death in the Shire. Nico Hines, as we call you on the show, the king of Caringba. How are you feeling, man? Yeah, feeling good. It's a nice night here and good to see some old faces and some players get inducted. So, yeah, it's a good night for the club. Does it inspire you? You want to be Hall of Famer one day? Never really thought about it until walking in here and having a look around. I'm like, far out's pretty cool and it would be cool to be part of this history for the rest of my life. So, yeah, it'd be nice.

[00:30:51] Hopefully I'm playing at this club for the rest of my career and then maybe that could happen. Hey, congrats on the book. My 90-year-old reads it every night now and he's learning about Indigenous history because of you. Oh, nice. Thank you very much. Yeah, it's been good. I haven't kept too much tabs on it, but I know a fair few people have got it and read it and excited about it. And, yeah, it's just about learning more about people like me who didn't grow up around culture and more of the white-sided Aboriginal man.

[00:31:19] And, yeah, so I'm hoping it inspires some kids out there like me who one day were too scared to talk about it. So, yeah, I'm enjoying what it's going on. I'm not going to ask you about Vegas because everyone else is. Let me ask you about round one. What can we expect? Hopefully a team that rolls the ball with their foot properly. But, look, we're just going to want to go out there and play a good brand of Sharks footy and take the scoreboard away from it as we go out there and play a good brand of our footy

[00:31:48] and we can come home happy. Thank you for your time. Have a great night. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Take it away, Walsh. Come on. Take it away. So, to go to a break on the NRL Sunday ticket. Here it is. Up, up, Cronulla. The boys in the black, white and blue. Up, up, Cronulla. Name of the Sharks fits you. Sharks, Sharks forever. Go out and play without fear.

[00:32:17] Now's the time to see good football for the Sharks. Sharkies! Sharkies! What's up, Christopher Cabana?
