I run it in the in the Australian today like this is the best promotion for the game of rugby league since Tina Turner in the late alleys early nineties. Now that caught a whole new fan base to the NRL. This has the same potential. When I walked out of the Legion Stadium last year, I remember thinking, you do not want to miss this next year, and it's going to grow. But I had no idea it would be like this. I think the Wigan the Warrington fans have really added to the atmosphere here here in Vegas, but the game would never have dreamed it would be this this successful when they first flagged this idea a couple of years, get.

It does, and it just they are very they'll never concede.

That I'll sell what my theory and that is, but they're not used to his training, they're not used to his methods at the moment. Yeah, there'd be a couple of them complaining about how hard they're being trained. But I'll tell you what I reckon in two or three months time when they're sitting in third or fourth position. But we think and Madge for what he's done for them in the preseason. Some people may disagree with me, but that's what I believe.

How did this go down?

How did this go down?

Well, I've been talking with this for quite some time now because that options his contract for twenty seven and twenty eight, the two season twenty seven twenty eight. They've been talking to Mitch about taking those options out of the deal and they've reached the green where he gets another year on the end of twenty nine, he gets a little bit more money in twenty seven to twenty eight and the options come out of that contract. So I mean they're in a position at the moment where they need stability. But everything that's going on with Dylan Brown. They need some stability in that team. He's their captain and he's shown some commitment to the club.

Is that a good thing for Dylan Brown?

Is that a good thing for Dylan Brown?

I what him for Paramount in terms of him staying. I actually don't think it matters. Thirteen million over ten years like there is. I'll be stunned if Dylan Brown doesn't end up at Newcastle for all the all the extra money, well they're going to I think the paramot are going to give him an extra two hundred a year to try and get rid of the clauses out of Dylan Brown's contract. But that sort of money, that's a life changing contract of thirteen and over ten I don't agree with it. I think it's ridiculous to offer Dylan Brown a ten year deal. You'd want a lot of clauses in that one your way, but I'd be I can't see him. How do you knock that back?

We'll go a bit deeper into that. Does this mean that they're they're conceding defeat here Paramount by signing Mitchell Moses extending the upgrade? Are they are they believing now that he's gone.

We'll go a bit deeper into that. Does this mean that they're they're conceding defeat here Paramount by signing Mitchell Moses extending the upgrade? Are they are they believing now that he's gone.

I think that the negotiations with Mitchell had started before the ones with Dylan. So you want it, you want one or the other, and I'll tell you what I probably want. Mitchell I had a Dylan.

I don't think they're conceding defeat Braith, but I think they they've got an uphill battle on their hands to keep him. I think they know Newcastle probably sure my favorites to get him.

So that's Paramata's understanding of the Newcastle.

Do that's crazy? Ten years a one point three with a ratchet law. I thought there'd be no ratet clause given the length of that contract.

I understand why they want Dylan to partner Kaylan to put to make them a premiership for us, right, but all we've heard over the past couple of years, and it could be speculation, innuendo, whatever, but we've heard that Kaylan has looked around at times. That's again it's speculation. What if Kaylen leaves and Dylan arrives, they're in the same position they are.

I think Kaylan desperately wants to win a premiership and if he sees that Newcastle can help him get there, I think he'll stay. If Newcastle can't shown that, Calan will be gone at the end of twenty seven, be it to another inner or club, or to run I mean rugby, Ino and Itch.

He may want to scratch as well. So I think they need to show them ambitious and this is ambitious. You can argue about whether it's insane money, but at least it's ambitious.
