STATE OF ORIGIN 🏈 GAME 2

State of Origin number two, Mr. Matrix.

We head south.

We go down to Victoria.

We are Wednesday night, 8:05 PM at the G, the great MCG.

We understand that it's going to be a record crowd for State of Origin.

We're gonna have the best part of, I don't know, it might get to 95,000.

Are you refereeing?

Well, yeah.

We could probably do a full podcast on that.

Ashley Klein, I-

[laughs] Would take weeks.

Would take weeks, Steven.

Yeah, it would take weeks to un- unearth, uh, what has come out over the weekend in regards to Ashley's situation.

I think firstly, we hope he's okay.

Um, that's probably the priority.

Secondly, I'm not sure after what's been unearthed that, um, Ashley should be refereeing at present.

But anyway, that's another podcast.

That it is.

Uh, certainly my view is it's untenable.

Um, but Mr. Vlandis is sticking firm and suggesting that no, he will be the referee.

Anyway, you're right, that's for another day.

Uh, I must say, Steven, it does add, regardless of what's, um, gone on in the last couple of days about all of that, it does a- add, uh, I guess another filter and view, just the fact that he is refereeing.
