It is the 8th of October. We are here thanks to Host Plus as always and it's great to have your company at 11.70am in Sydney wherever you tuned in on the SCN app. Get in touch this morning. We are going to need you. And there's a lot of talking points for us to get through, but this is essentially a bit of a show with a difference and we can do this now that the footy season in particular is wrapped up. You set the agenda. You can tell us what you want to talk about, what you don't want to talk about. That's probably the key this morning. We're going to take some things off the table this week. And I'll tell you why in just a second, a pretty gloomy start to this Tuesday in and around Sydney. Showers are on the forecast and 19 degrees and it's got the feeling of a bit of storm activity as well. So we will push our focus further ahead because it's bath this week, folks. And coming up today, Will Brown will join me. The championship leader in the supercars winners at Sand down alongside with Scotty Pie and getting ready for the Bathurst 1000. So I'll dig into that in just a second. But of course, I want to know what you think about the kangaroos and the selections made official yesterday just as we went off air. So we've had time to digest it. It's pretty hard to argue with almost everything that's happened in this selection process because it's a weird part of the year, injuries coming to play. It's been a while since Australia lost to New Zealand, 30 points to Neil. So how much of that team and squad announcement yesterday is a response to that loss because so much has happened since then, hasn't not. We've got eight debutants in there and just think of one in particular when I hit, when I say to you so much has happened, Zach Lomax is one of eight debutants. Now that's no great surprise, but think of the change around in what we saw from Zach Lomax throughout the course of the season. And here he is in the kangaroos, Malmaningers squad. In of course, Isaiah Yo is captain, world is a no problems at all for that. However, out James Tedesco, Kailam Ponger doesn't get selected, Jake Treboevich isn't there. Daily Cherry Evans is not there. Now the Harves, they're going in with Tom Dearden and Mitchell Moses and they've got great cover in Matt Burton and Ben Hunt. So all of that makes sense, but of course there's always going to be people that miss out that you would consider unlucky. Teddy's always unlucky if he misses out because he's such a great player. Jake Treboevich, full of passion, such a great player. Daily Cherry Evans has been a stalwart, had a very good season, but do you pick him ahead of who they've gone with? And Kailam Ponger, how much of that drama did play out? We're unsure about that, but we have to, and I'm happy to, obviously, take Mal's word on that one and the selection panel because they view him as a specialist fullback. And they've gone with Dylan Edwards. Would you put Kailam ahead of Dylan if the Kailam drama didn't happen? I'm not sure. Congratulations to Mitchell Moses, Tom Dearden, Lomax, Mitch Barnette, Reese Robson, Bradman Best, Xavier Coates, Lindsey Smith, as we told you about just before we went off air yesterday to debue for your country is a huge thing. And of course the campaign starts against Tonga in Brizzy, October 18, so a week or two away, and then the Kiwi is the big one in Christchurch on October 27. So how much do you think of what you saw from that team is a response to the 30-kneel loss? And how much do you think has changed since then? Who is your unluckiest to miss out there? And who do you think absolutely force their way into Malman Inge's thinking? Give us a text on 0457736736 or give me your thoughts on our all-tail open line. And of course, Liv Kernick has been dropped from the Jillaroo squad, and that's just a week after she won less than a week. She won the Daily M medal in the NRLW. So the decision by Brad Donald there has certainly sent shockwaves. There's four debutants for the Jillaroos, but Liv Kernick won't be there. Instead, Brad Donald's gone for Kesey Apps, Yasmin Clydesdale, Mahali and Murphy as he's second row options, and Liv scored a double in the Rooster's Grand Final win, was one of five incumbents to lose their jersey. So that's a little bit of a setup about what's happening in Rugby League. Of course, in the Fallout continues celebrations continue for the Panthers. They've got their awards night tonight, so there's still a lot bubbling around in the world of footy, but NRL's done a dusted. So what do you miss about footy already? And what don't you miss? What do we take off the table for the rest of the week? I don't know if we'll make it through the week on this discussion because things just come around and go around, especially in the world of Rugby League, but is there something that you want to take off the table when I get a text or I get a call or Coach K comes in and he wants to raise this, we get up. That's it. We just shut it down. We can do that. We've got the flexibility right here. Now, there's been a lot of discussion around this Caine Corns situation emanating out of Essie and in Melbourne. It makes great fodder. I'm happy to take it off the table. You know why I had my say on it yesterday? And my say is it's waffle. Take it off the table. Which means, of course, because you guys know how we operate here, it means we'll be talking about it. Hey, Panther Pete, you can kick us off this morning on the old cell open line. Good to hear your voice. Nice bright and early. What do you got? Uh, Matthew, on the back of Panthers winning in Pink, uh, maybe Coach K can pull up a photo before you of the San Diego Padres away uniform, uh, like describe it as mustard brown in color with baby-poo yellow trimmies. And I thought, can someone else bring up the worst playing strip of a professional sporting team? Because that's got to be right up there. I was, I just put it on the sports news last night and I've done, wow, look at that. And if they go to the, if they go to the world series and play away, a lot more people will see it. There we go. That's the topic for you. First up. Okay. Right. Well, there you go. There you go. That was your game. No, this is exactly what we want this morning. I want you guys to set the agenda this morning. We're in that period, folks. Thanks, Panther Pete. Appreciate it. We're in that period, folks, where footy comes to a screaming halt. Now we've still got more representative footy to going. We've got cricket just around the corner and of course, the T20 women's World Cup underway at the moment. So there's plenty going around and Bathurst. So Bathurst this weekend. So that's the big one. But in between, there's all sorts of stuff that we can open up to. Now the San Diego Padres uniforms is now a topic of discussion. So this is how it's going to work. You raise them. We talk about them. I'm happy to go through this one, but it's the, oh, look, I don't think it's too bad. At all. Kind of like the Hawthorne colors, Panther Pete. There's mostly Brown, a little bit of mustard. You know what else it looks like? It looks a bit like the New Zealand One Day International Uniform of World Series Cricket. Coach K is going to do Google search and burn it up this morning looking for the images there. So I'll try and give you some insights into what I see. You've got something that resonates with you in terms of bad uniforms. A lot of them actually, I reckon, come from bad sponsorships quite often. Oh, four, five, seven, seven, three, six, seven, three, six. Now it's is Bathurst weekend. As I mentioned, Will Brown will be joining me. So there's a couple of things that play here. One of them is Bathurst, no doubt. Everybody wants to win Bathurst. The other one is the championship, and at the moment, Will leads the championship by 189 points from Chaz Mossat. He has been the benchmark performer of the season. He's had four race wins this season. They come off a win at Sandown, and they will be one of the favorites, along with his sister card, not his teammate for this one, but Brock Finney and Jamie Wingcup. They will be clear favorites. You reckon going into Bathurst and with good reason. So we'll catch up with Will Brown this morning, not too far away, and find out what's happening with the build up to that. But I also want to give you some behind the scenes insights and get your best Bathurst memories. Before that, Paul and Brizzy is on the line. Hey, Paul, good morning. Good morning, Muddy. Happy Bathurst week. Just a quick one from the weekend. I don't know whether you saw it or not, but the playoff round of the NASCAR series involving Shane was at Talladega, the biggest, the fastest track on the calendar. I don't know whether you saw it or there was a little while there that they were full wide. Now, at 180 mile an hour, within three or four feet, side by side, nose to tail, it is unbelievable. I just sat there looking at it in awe, like I love me motor sport. I love F1. I love supercars. I love speedway. I'm a motorsport. Nuffy, mate. I'll take it all in. But to see these absolute insanity, four wide at 180 mile an hour on Talladega, just it blew my mind. I saw bits and pieces of it across the weekend, obviously, with footy going on. So I was keeping my eyes on it there, Paul. And I know that I'll, mate, leave. If he was there for the first time, he got a bang around in one of the safety cars. So that was his first occasion, and as you know, Diff has done it all and is an absolute legend. But the way that these guys take that banking at that speed, and the, oh, I was just watching a replay here of one of the crashes as well, and the slipstream, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the slipstream and everything that goes into it, mate, you know what it speaks to? It's funny. There's the pace. There's the visual excitement of it. There's the roar of the cars themselves. There's the unbelievable ability to try and keep these cars stuck to the ground, because it is at high speed, and it's on such a bank, it's crazy. The other part is that it raises these emotions, Paul. That's what I want to talk about this morning. The emotion of watching something like that is pretty unique because it's so unbelievable that they can do that at that kind of speed. So that's a good shout, mate. Thank you for that. Enjoy the rest of your day, and I hope you have a great bath this week, and make sure you stay tuned. Will Brown's kind of join me in about 45 minutes. Thank you, Paul. So what's on the table? What's off the table? Best bath this memories? I want to give you a few insights and take you behind the scenes, and I want to know what you want to know from what happens behind the scenes. Now obviously I've got massive exposure to a lot of motorsport, Formula One, supercars, some of the biggest bath this memories. I was lucky to be there, of course, in call with Neil Crompton, the lap of the gods back in 2003. But what happens behind the scenes? What's the kind of stuff that you don't see that you're interested in? If at all, 1-300-01-1170, give us your best bath this memories. We've got a lot to cover, but you can see now it's an open book this morning. What do you want to take off the table? That might get us talking. And also, Panther Peter set the stage for some pretty ugly, in his opinion, pretty ugly sporting uniforms. Let's do that this morning. It's 16 minutes after 9 o'clock right here on SCN 1170 AM in Sydney. We're here, thanks to Host Plus, Money Magazine's best super fun for 2024. That's a plus.
