Rads Interview!

[Mickie Lane]

Rads is smarter than the average footy player & he's got a family that keeps him grounded.
Left school after year 10 & has completed a trade, he's a fully fledged carpenter who has worked very very hard on building sites & has the trade to fall back on which he will eventually end up back in, he loves working with his dad (builder) & brother (plumber)
I love the bloke, he should be captain.

there is no prize for entertainers, there is only a prize for winners, athletes, dedicated sportsmen. it's not an entertainment business, it is a professional sport, and the players would be better off with as little contact with journalists and anti social media as possible. Probably sounds square to anyone under 40, but most of them wouldn't have a clue. they think hit and giggle BBL is cricket.

respectfully disagree but i guess this more of a generational difference so won't try convince you otherwise haha

'08 is right on this one. Constant swearing is disrespectful, aggressive and sensible women don't like it. I give people heaps on the road (one bloke got out at a red light with a tyre iron - oops) but mostly I leave the aggro in the vehicle because swearing as punctuation is undignified and the main identifier of the inarticulate, even worse than putting an apostrophe before every "s". It's dumb!

It can also, however, suggest nervousness and a lack of confidence with regard to speaking publicly and that's how I'd like to characterise Radley who is an enormous football talent but will never be a leader because, clearly, he is one of the boyz, a follower. I hoped that Tedesco was an emerging leader but the Suid Games episode has cast doubt on that.

I guess I'm pretty much woke. Despite a long and intensive swearing apprenticeship at the Colts I long ago dropped the C word. I couldn't work out why it was used to demean and frighten when it relates to something heavenly and, pretty much, front of mind for most young men (not the Sausage Jockeys of course but there's nothing wrong with that). What's the saying - "we're born out of one and spend the rest of our lives trying to get back in". And that's not easy, never was, except for Dewsbury apparently. To my mind it should be renamed the "magic orchid" or "the magnifica". Rads could say, "I decked this fcukin' magnifica....".

I think you are a goose.... or maybe a parrot, that just squarks for the sake of it. I see no sense in your comment. But that applies to just about everything you post.

Finally got past my 'full hectic bro' stigma and had a watch. Great stuff and it keeps building. Surprised there's only 50 likes on YouTube...

Who’s to say there’s no “ prize “ in entertainers? Take your footy googles off for a second mate and think outside the box for a second. A bloke like rads or a cheese have everything to gain from being like how they are and speaking with podcasts and what not . Smith has signed a deal with YTKR and has publicly mentioned he wants to move into this space as well as play footy. Rads is well known for his larrikin self and his willingness to be open and honest as much as he swears and what not the guy is at least honest and fun, he looks like he enjoys the attention if anything.
BEERS BEERS AND MORE BEERS
how good? But nah let’s put a nozzle on ‘em.



Which leads me to my next point. - Players must speak with media they cannot just dodge it like you think they can. They have media obligations to fulfil so if you’re cranky about that shoot a email to the admin of the NRL… anywho the journos like the wiedlers or the hooper’s will always twist something into a non story ( Ala the swearing story with Cheese recently ), podcasts help simmer down all that BS put out there as the player is the source.




This isn’t the 50’s the world has evolved and it’s time you do too my friend.

Exactly, what's the point of being young if you can't enjoy a drink and chase pretty girls.
We can't expect them to live like monks , as long as they do it at the right time and doesn't effect their training and performance.
I'm sure that he enjoyed himself when the season was over as most of us like to when we go on holidays but once the pre season starts he sounded like he knew he had to tone it down a notch and pull his head in.

I don't think anyone ,especially me, suggested that they should live like a monk. I don't disagree with your comments its just that he keeps talking about drinking in this interview. It sounded a bit obsessive to me. In balance he didn't mention pretty girls at all. That would have been my focus.

Interestingly a lot of love for Napa...

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Frothin', mate. Hectic.

Speaking of Cords - he wanted to go around for Old Bar in 2022, but for that to happen, Easts would have to shell out around 75K cause salary cap. I don't think it's going to happen. He must be feeling better, though.
