Christian Welch

So making sure they go and get some replacements in the middle there is important, and both of those players fit the bill there for what Ricky Stewart likes to look for in players.

Going back to the Dolphins momentarily, they are planning and offering Christian Moore for long-term extension.

And there was reports today that that's because at least one other NRL club would be interested in signing him if he was to become available.

I don't think he would go to another club at this stage.

Good on you, Scotty.

Christian Welch for coach of the year and the Dolphins to, to win it after contending 60.

[laughs]

[laughs] Have a good one.

... every chance, which is probably the more important aspect of that.

Uh, Christian Welch, it's, it's pretty well documented how intelligent he is.

He's got a commerce degree and an MBA.

Too smart for his own good, Christian Welch.

Yeah.

He was Uh, Corey Payne, uh, postgraduate in headbutting people and also commerce.

shut up anyway moving on

yeah well let's move to perth just quickly did you see shiba over there handing out awards shaking hands kissing babies yeah there you go christian welch um and mal of course they were over there for the wa junior grand finals over the weekend where there were plenty of Bear Tracks Academy players in action as well, including your man, Zane Murray, who received a Man of the Match award in one of those games.

So that was good to see.

Good to see Shiba over there as well.

Uh, Green Bay signed a variety of different players to the P squad on their first day.

Uh, Dalton Cooper, uh, the offensive lineman, Jayden Kermede, the defensive tackle, Drake Dabney at tight end, Josh Geske on the offensive line, Chris Hilton Jr. wide receiver, DeMond Jackson, they were able to get back at corner, Nigel Lee Kelly you mentioned already, Mervin Kenyon III, your guy at safety, Aaron Mosby on the edge, Isaiah Nayar at wide receiver, Pierre Strong Jr., Dillon Wade, and, uh, Christian Welch, uh, running back, guard, and linebacker respectively.

Thoughts on the initial practice squad for your Packers?

Um, not too surprised.

Uh, so they have the interior defensive lineman as well in Krummety.

And then they have Edge and Mosby and Nyzier Lee Kelly.

They've got a linebacker in Christian Welch.

They do not have a corner on the t-

Exactly.

Christian Welch, he's another one that should be able to continue.

See, now,

Welch is a guy – if I'm Christian Welch, I'd tell the Packers to go take a hike because I do this every damn summer, man.

It's a consistent gig.

I don't know.

They actually carried five this year, so...

Christian Welch and TJ Quinn were released, probably poised to make it to the practice squad as well.

Cornerbacks were going five.

Keyshawn Nixon, Carrington Valentine, Benjamin St. Juice, Brandon Cisse, and Kamal Haddon.

And even if they're not making tackles, they're holding guys up and they're pushing guys to the sideline.

And Nick Nieman is a, a guy like that, and Nick Nieman and, and Christian Welch have both, have both bounced, you know, in between the roster.

I, I don't know if Nick Nieman's ever been on the practice squad.

He tore his pec against-

...

the Steelers last year, so he missed a bunch of time.

But Nick Nieman is 100% above Christian Welch on the depth chart, and should make this team as one of those core special teamers for Cam Acord.

Who, by the way, I tweeted a video of it, because right after Will Shepherd returned that punt for a touchdown, my eyes went directly to Cam Acord on the sideline.
