Steven MillerHOST
there for that? I don't know.
Steven MillerHOST
I heard there was something dodgy going on, but we didn't send a report to Errol for the Dead Rubber game.
Steven MillerHOST
I think they played it a night early and everything.
Steven MillerHOST
Yeah, but
Julian de StoopPANELIST
So this was an interesting comment from Sammy McClure.
Matthew LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It kept the season alive, I think, rather than some will disagree, but I thought it's kept hope in the season for clubs right up until round 24 when the Dead Rubbers started or round 23.
Matthew LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But before that, I thought the season was alive.
Matthew LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But then wouldn't you just
Damien BarrettPANELIST
I say that, it sucked the life out of that game from a win-loss perspective.
Damien BarrettPANELIST
You then had a lot of dead rubbers in round 24.
Damien BarrettPANELIST
And one year we're going to get wild cards involving GWS, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Melbourne.
Damien BarrettPANELIST
Teams that don't draw crowds like Collingwood and Carlton.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
I think rather than...
Matthew LloydPANELIST
Some will disagree, but I thought...
Matthew LloydPANELIST
She kept hope in the season for clubs right up until round 24 when the Dead Rubbers started, or round 23.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
But before that, I thought the season was a lot better.
Ryan ClarkHOST
All right, so backlash from the kickoff rule trial.
Ryan ClarkHOST
This weekend in the Dead Rubber game, being the 2025, which is just completely insane, the Dead Rubber, two weeks out from the finals, the 2025 NRL Grand Final rematch, which saw the Storm beat the Broncos 46-20, saw the trial of a kickoff rule where the team that conceded a try got to choose whether they wanted to kick off or receive the ball.
Ryan ClarkHOST
Did it only happen once?
Nicholas GuildHOST
Man, I think so.
LeighHOST
How do you see it going?
Anthony MaroonGUEST
Well, like you said, mate, it's a bit of a dead rubber, this one.
Anthony MaroonGUEST
I don't really see the Dogs losing this one at home.
Anthony MaroonGUEST
I think it'll be a dour affair, though, and I'm commentating it.
6 MINS LATER
LeighHOST
And mate, you have a wonderful weekend.
LeighHOST
Where are we calling?
Anthony MaroonGUEST
where we're doing tonight's Dead Rubber, and then we're doing Dolphins Titans, and then we're doing another one on Saturday.
Anthony MaroonGUEST
That might be a Warriors game, I think.
Sam EdmundHOST
The Demons have been the story of the year under new coach Stephen King, and Carlton's rise from 1-8 to the form team of the competition, scarcely believable under the newer coach Josh Fraser.
Sam EdmundHOST
The Bulldogs face Collingwood after arguably their best win since March, and the Pies come in after a dead rubber final round that their coach admitted he wasn't quite sure how to approach.
Sam EdmundHOST
And while Andrew Dillon launched the finals today, he was peppered with far more questions about what's happening off the field than he was on stage.
Sam EdmundHOST
Sam Edmund with you and with me.
Liam PickeringHOST
Lions
Craig HutchisonHOST
by 63 and the Dead Rubber on the Friday night.
Liam PickeringHOST
And yeah, and of course it was Gold Coast by 23 on Thursday night.
Liam PickeringHOST
But yeah, so I started, I thought I'll just watch a couple of Ips.
1 HR 36 MINS LATER
Liam PickeringHOST
I pop in for an hour.
Liam PickeringHOST
The Cats are playing tonight.
Craig HutchisonHOST
They've got a dead rubber against me.
Craig HutchisonHOST
Doesn't matter.
PandaHOST
Unfortunately, when it comes to Round 18, we do have some games that are live.
PandaHOST
We do have a couple that are dead rubbers.
PandaHOST
But this game at the John Ford Oval, uh, two outgoing coaches, Panda, that would like to finish on a win.
PandaHOST
Absolutely.
Edwin AshHOST
One day to go before the new season starts.
Edwin AshHOST
And who remembers this bad boy, Dead Rubber? Match week 38, final game of the season, Sunday the 24th of May, Crystal Palace 1, Arsenal 2.
Edwin AshHOST
The champions were on the pitch and we completed our title winning campaign at Selhurst Park.
Edwin AshHOST
Yeah, baby.
Edwin AshHOST
Now, Jean-Philippe Mateta headed a late consolation in the 88th minute.
Edwin AshHOST
And actually, Jeremy had an equaliser.
Edwin AshHOST
And this is the point where I was starting to get a little bit annoyed, even though it's a dead rubber, because I wanted those 85 points.
Edwin AshHOST
And I did get a bit annoyed.
Matt BungardHOST
Sorry, the Cowboys flog the Tigers and Canterbury still have their season alive and just need to cheer for the Raiders in the last week of the season.
Matt BungardHOST
And the Raiders have won Dead Rubbers before and will again.
Matt BungardHOST
They love fucking shit up for people.
Matt BungardHOST
Just look at that Roosters game from a couple of years ago at the SFS.
