Brad. We knew Sam was in the mix, but Big Males the one who's come from left field, and he's got some support. So I wouldn't put a line through a big Mail yet. And I think mail. My dream is my dream is mal and Sam and tandem and but Melan and Sammy together as part of some form of succession plan. I reckon that would be would be amazing. Can you imagine the profile they have over there? I love it. I love the idea.

I one hundred agree with Yes, I think on board. I think now is the perfect coach for that. So I wouldn't have him coaching any other NRL side, like as a head coach, but head coach of the Bears. I think it works perfect.

Three senior assistants. Usually there's two senior assistants and a third. He probably needs three senior assistants, I'd say. But Mao will do everything in terms of profile. You know, he's not a guarantee to sign players, but he's a guarantee to get a meeting with everyone that whoever he wants to talk to will get that. He's really big on community and we've seen him do that with the Kangaroos and from the bottom up, and I think all the things that this Perth franchise needs off the field, Mao will bring it right. And he's good at bringing groups together. Is good at doing that stuff, and their hands on coaching will be some of the others that he gets in. I think he's the most logical appointment.

He's huge on culture too, and they need to get the culture right from day one because they're in a turf fight with the AFL, so you need you need to have a strong footed club with a great culture so that you make sure they don't go the wrong way, do the wrong thing. And Mel's big on that as well, so you know it'd be interesting. I think we'll have a decision next week. I think that you know, it's going to be really quick they make this call, and I think Mel's I'm hearing Mel's potentially got his nose in front now, which is when you consider we thought Brad was done and dusted. That's really interesting.

And we've seen our hostile some of the media attention has been over there, and Mal will handle it, looks Bambi. Now we'll get on the charm like Sam will handle it beautifully, like you know Sam can command it room, and you know he's been through through it all before. So I think that partnership, that combination with it's got to be more to this coaching staff. Right, that's not obviously the finished product, but them is a one two punch with a few others surround them. I think it's perfect.

The other huge theme Sam brings is he knows Super League and I think they're gonna have to raid super League because obviously the player numbers, so he knows super League really well. English players love him, respect him, adoreing right, So instantly you've got that in your favor. And rugby union. Sam knows rugby union as well. I mean he didn't have a great stint in rugby obviously, but he's played rugby union. He knows rugby union. He'll know players to go after. So I think that's where Sam's really advantageous for Perth.

Yeah, and that's the good in here is the fact that you're a direct flight match England seventeen hours. Rugby's going to be careful because you know, they might be able to throw some money to keep some of the bigger a's, but some really quality rugby players. They're going to get their heads turned by this. And I agree with your point about Mal that he's the guy that he's not going to say anything controversial, but he's going to be the guy that he's going to get media attention, he's going to keep the Bears at the forefront of people's minds, and it's going to be so important when you're going to try and sign these guys. I think we've seen with Wayne Bennett the Dolphins, and you're going to have this figurehead of the Kevin Sheety type at GWS. You know, it all works in in that regard.

With all due respect to Brad, Brad did a lot of meter. Brad was always pretty open with the media, but didn't seem to come naturally. Didn't love it like where you know, and I think maw would just command attention, command back pages, command spots on the news, and that's what this side is going to need.

But yeah, I don't know about the nights. They just keep making The concern for him is that they keep making the same errors. I saw glimpses in Paramatta's attack last week where you could say, okay, you can start and to see where Jason Rowles wants to go with this side. They're probably not there yet or upscilled enough to do everything that he wants to do, but you sort of started to see the board movement and the pace and things that they want to do. But it's a tough one to pick.

But Paramatta they've got some injuries there. Their front row stocks are a bit short. So Newcastle obviously without Leo Thompson that's going to be tough as well. Zach Lomax is eighty minutes of football enough to get him in origin place right.

Doesn't have an agent. Well, he's got an agent for his commercial deal, so he's got an agent. He looks after his endorsement, endorsements and things like that. But his father, Andrea, and him do the actual negotiations with clubs. Tried agents, had an agent in the past, didn't go well. So and you're really tight family. Obviously, Andrea's als been at his side throughout it all, and their view is we can handle the negotiation. Other than they're all forced to. Caitlin and I spoke to Andre about it. Carla makes the final call, but they just feel like they don't need an agent. You can't argue with the irrational. He's got out and got the biggest deal at the time, the highest paid player in the game, So they've done a pretty good job.

Yeah, a lot, And it's interesting. You know, I guess if you will be interested next time Kalen's off contract if he does consider Rugby Union or other clubs. Does he look for an agent then, because you know that's when it does get super complicated when you've got rival offers and you got to arrange to go see him and things like that. So that will be interesting to see how it plays out next time.
