Ace scored that mad long-range try and he sort of carried Carney over the line and slammed, dunked it down.

12-2.

Then I think Robbie might have kicked a field goal and then we did a penalty goal.

So we're up 15-2.

But there was a moment and it never gets brought up because it was a 100-minute game.

But I remember...

With a little bit, after half time, that we did a kick through.

Oh, they kicked the

It was my first year, 11.

2011.

I'm at training and I get a, um, I won't say who, but someone at the West Tigers says, come up, come upstairs.

So it was myself, Chris Hinington, Bryce Gibbs, Todd Payton, Wade McKinnon.

And they'd all spoken individually to someone and I was one of the last ones in the room and they said, uh, we're over the cap for 2012.

We'd signed Adam Blair.

Now you guys are off contract and we're happy for you guys.

Uh,

Yes.

So they-- No one knew.

They-- We, we, we Sharks knew there was something going on, but no one really knew what, and that was the honest truth.

Um, we get called into a room.

The CEO at the time calls us all into a room, and we're like, "What is happening?" And there's players there that-- You know, 'cause it was from, I think, I don't know exactly what years originally they pinned.

They said it was between '09 to '11 or something.

They hadn't-- It was very vague at the start, Howie.

Hmm.

Really? It's that bad.

But it's-- You have to be a morning person to do brekkie radio because you see your...

Well, you see, I drive-- I've got a fair drive to the city from where I live in Cronulla.

Um, and I, when I started, I used to listen to a lot of different, I listened to a lot of different radio shows, and I see what's happening.

I listen to the AM dial to see, you know, current things that are happening.

Um, but the last while, I sort of just sit in silence, to be honest with you, to sort of just get, get in the zone and get into, uh, I sort of get in, into my feelings, get a bit raw with myself, and then when I get to work and surround myself with the team, uh, everything just escalates.

I'm a team person.

Wouldn't put it on.

Yeah.

Um, it's a different, it's a different, it's different to l- all of his other stuff, which was surprising.

Uh, Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer.

He passes away right at the start.

Not spoiling it, but it happens right at the start, and he's always lived his life going out to the countryside and living off the grid.

Like, he does it a couple of times a year, and he's always talking to his wife about it, and she was thinking he was going there for something else and all this.

So when he passes, she goes there.

Good.

... did you cop that? Did you deal with that?

Yeah, I copped that, of course.

I, um, the reason I could do it, Tim Sheens, my coach at the time, said, "Look, I..." 'Cause I did a couple without even telling him, like as in just appearing on the Footy Show, and after about a month he said, "Mate, I heard you're, uh, you're on the Footy Show quite a bit." I said, "Yeah, yeah.

Thanks for watching it."

Peace and love.

[singing] And we can do it if we try, try, try.

If we try, try, try.

If we try, try, try.
