Charlie Gubb

Hey, heaps coming up after 5:00.

We're gonna be speaking to Charlie Gubb-

Yeah

... uh, about the Warriors.

Well, yeah.

Hey, now listen, um, big news.

We've got Charlie Gubb.

Oh, yeah.

It's sort of the old crew that I play with.

Benny Madalino, Sam Rapier was there, Charlie Gubb, Jacob Luleman.

Gubb City.

Gubb City.

Some good panel guests.

Charlie Gubb, Conrad Harrell was a riot.

Yeah, some good guests.

But yeah, Nigel Wagner, he came for the perfect age.

Old Boys Day turnout almost twice as well attended as last year.

Couple of faces from yesteryear, Cletus, Joe Vagana, Connie Harrell, Charlie Gubb, Torpy, The Suitcase, not sure about Samsonite Nielsen, but one of the lesser known names who was always a worthy adversary in his playing time age group for the Papatutos Panthers, Jonathan Smith.

Blast from the past there.

Good to see him in the mix.

We've got Louis Anderson over there, arm and arm with Henry Fafili.

Our man Charlie Gubbs up from Wellington.

And just pass.

You know, Connie Harrell over there by the basketball hoop.

Wasn't to be.

Hey, Charlie Gubb, former Warrior, is there a part of you, man, that is like, oh, I'd give my left testy to be out there playing with the fellas this season?

Nah, man, I'd be knocking around a New South Wales cup.

taking all sorts of gas.

[laughs]

For those who don't know, um, Charlie Gubb was meant to come along and see us at the, um, at, uh, the Beer Van Live show down at Bethel Woods in Wellington-

[clears throat]

... on Thursday night last week, but he ghosted all of us.

We've got a lot to play for.

And then we've got the final game versus, at home versus the Seagulls, who will be playing mad Monday, so we should put a score on them.

Charlie Gubb, Keezy here.

Hope you're well, mate.

And just this morning, Tui Kamikamitha announced that he was going to retire after suffering that stroke earlier in the season.

There's a very heartbreaking video on the Storm website of him announcing it to his teammates.

He might not be the biggest name, but he's been at this club for a long time and he's very much a beloved player.

teammate down there so i expect it to sort of be a big emotional send-off for him and maybe that'll give melbourne a boost um i don't think the panthers just turn up and win i do think they'll have to work for it but i think that would be good for them at the moment

What a match.

We have to have a chat with old Charlie Gubb about it.

Sounds good.

The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike, and Keezy.

Now, fellas, it's all very well and good going away for a little break, but I always miss the chat we're about to have.

I think I miss it the most of any of the chat we do on this show, and that's [mumbles].

With that in mind, we've got Rugby League legend, the one, the only Charlie Gubb on the line.

Charlie, you mad bastard, how's life?
