Let's bring in one of our favorites.

Toby Rudolpho's out injured for the Sharkies at the moment, but he's up in the box with us allodaby.

Hello, boys, thanks having me down.

Blake, Well, how is your love life going in there?

You just look the kids?

Is you ready?

Girlfriend?

That's right?

A girlfriend for a little while.

Yeah, that was about a year ago, boy, appreciate it.

Have you been this week?

Then?

Haven't been this week?

I've been great?

What's what's going this week?

In particular because you were telling me some stories?

They said, why now? Yeah? Yeah, don't get him in trouble.

Day thirteen, showgown yeah fifteen.

Maybe we've gone pretty low today in some parts of the show.

Are you Tabe? You're good?

You're really good, boys, really good.

You know, I thought of about two weeks away from playing and just you know, I'm more than happy to be here than anything else with you, guys. Love the sound of your voice markets as my mother. As you know you listen to your voice, I love to said, thank you very much, just so soothing. It makes you just feel like I'm at home in a cozy blanket.

Why all the Sharks shuck it up to me today. Do you need something you need? Do you stadium or something?

Relax, mate, you've been nice. What's okay. We're just bringing you some food.

Just chilling. Oh.

By the way, what about the table tennis competition between Nicko and Jesse?

Yes, yeah, it was. It was a blowout.

Actually, Jesse Calhoun got the chocolates by far. I didn't think he'd be I knew he was pretty good Jesse Calhoun. I didn't know he was that much of a number one.

I got told Niko had a very soft draw leading in.

He did, he did, he did. He was in the in the Prairie. I think it was Brittain the corps who was in bad. But there were a few sort of guys that just didn't turn up. Whether the head was elsewhere, probably on football, you know, smarting.

I'm just thinking. I mean, poor old Jesse. He probably needs the three grand Nike doesn't. He's got plenty.

You know what. Credit Jesse Calhoun.

He took his fifty dollars buying back and unlike Paul Galan, gave it ordered.

The kiddie good.

Yeah, by the way, you've arrived at a good time.

But where'd you say to the kiddy, what's the kiddy for? It's not triple away or you both have trips away.

Now we just sort of have like an end of your fun just to sort of, you know, put on a bar tab somewhere.

First celebration for the win the game final.

That's now Gao and Toby and boys.

Kylie from the Sharks came in earlier and she said, we've got some special Cadie for you today.

Wow.

Now the Sharks are celebrating the inaugural and I hope I'm saying this right. Tangada Moana Jersey, honoring the deep cultural connection and heritage of our PACIFICA players. The menu has been supplied by Pacific Flavor. They're on Instagram, Instagram, dot com, Ford slash Pacific.

Flavor f F L A v A.

We've got lamb chicken crab, salad, chicken chop, suey and tarot good.

Potato.

I've opened mine up and there's four squares.

There's only three four.

Because they got that one there for you. There you go, the salad, pray the salad.

You let me open this.

Let's have a look.

Wow, smells good, hungry food.

We don't even open it.

Give me just a salad. That's it.

That's all.

We were talking earlier about the Milestone man tonight for you guys, Blake brad one hundred and fifty games. I'm a bit dirty on the name of his dog, Bacon, A very strange thing to call you, doc.

But apparently loved Baker.

He does love Bacon.

Yeah, but congratulate what at Milestone for one hundred and fifty games.

Yeah, it's it's unbelievable.

I mean, especially you've got Britain the Corp who's playing his one hundred and fiftieth next week, and Britain the Corps managed to play before year of first grade. Before Blake, everyone knows that he's in misconsistent has missed the game and I think over one hundred.

And now one hundred and nine games with extra and the only.

Reason he sort of didn't play, you know, even more in a row because in twenty nineteen he was in and out with the side with his brother playing.

So he has missed the game and I don't know how long.

It wouldn't mind learning a few tricks from him, because've missed quite a few lately. But now log with Blake Bradley outside. You know, it's a better side, it's a karma side, and it's it's just a bunchure to play with him. It's such a calming influence and you see the skill exists out there.

And he also whacks for a little man.

Could you say, you know from more reports he's a really good blake too.

He looks like but he looks like with your siners mosis is its frustrating, Like when you're out with injury, what do you do.

To combat the fitness side of it, Like a lot of rowing, a lot of ski exactly that, honestly, MG.

The last sort of the first two weeks there's always no sweating when you sort of have surgery. And then the last sort of four weeks is just every day trying to try and get a win, whether it's push ups at the minimum, whether it's going into the card air room, Skia Grower, assault bike. You just sort of got to get as much conditioning as you can before you start running again. And I started running last week and hopefully next week. I've thought to be back all the week after And the biggest thing is just getting your lungs back. You have a whole preseason to build them up, and then you have surgery.

It just goes away.

Just on the surgery. I've done too soon this most in my career. One of them I missed fourteen weeks. Yes, so did you have the surgery?

So I had surgery six weeks ago on the Thursday go on, and I was aiming for this week, but I had a few roadblocks, so I should be back in about two weeks.

About eight weeks.

So it's a whole lot better than these days with the technology they got and obviously the ability to do the surgery. So and what do they say about it, it's going to be as strong if you're not better than it.

Was before, better than it was before. So back when you were playing in nineteen and seventy, it was obviously a yeah, the surgery was cut open and stitch it up best you can. But these days there's a bit of medical marbles and you're actually able to I can never do it again now on my left side. Really, yeah, it's actually impossible to do. They're still paying there now, and if I wasn't such a cow, I could probably pay now with the pain, but I can't do any more damage to it.

Yeah, I did play in the nineteen seventy, yes, and we would have been playing within We would have been playing within two weeks.

With just water on suck a spokes magic. I wonder say any of us a crooked, let's bring it back magic.

But I remember last I think last time we were here it was last year, earlier this year. You were walking out and you had your knee and a brace. That's not the same injury.

Or no, no, no, the knee was your ankle, isn't it?

Yeah?

Ankle? This you knew that. So when was that?

Was that earlier this year or last year?

I remember the neat was last year.

So I had sort of the similar run last year. I sort of come in after a toe injury and then had a quad strain, had a medial strain, and then had a cindersmosis as well.

That's why I got the surgery. This time.

You're a miss.

Yeah, tell me about it. Thanks for reminding me.

Hopefully I can get a good run going be like broadly of no time.

It's the plan.

Anyway, Before you go, how's mum?

Mum's really good?

Actually she has She had double knee replacement about two and a half months ago. So she was battling through that for quite some time. But I gave him a game ready the ice machine that she's been on. And we're about to get a new dog, which is really throwed for, and she's taking care of my dog Louis now for the time being, which is a bit of company for he always listence this show and always love you boys, and I'm.

Sure she'd be listening to this now, Love.
