Don Rogers: [00:01:42] Matt thanks for your time today. Great. Great to see you again mate. This week we’re talking rising stars. Tell me who’s your Rising Star and why.
Mat Rogers: [00:01:52] Well at all while rising star a young fellow by the name of Jessie Ramien and yes he was at the Sharks last year and I watched some of it is on obviously follow the Sharks but we lost him and I think it was one Newscastle got under our guard and they signed him they probably saw the potential. And I got him and you know we saw in fire at the back of the year played some amazing footy. And I think you can go from strength to strength now you know he’s playing with. Pongar out there and you can’t get a real feel about that Newcastle side with there’s expectation which is a big part of growth when you’re a young player. And I don’t think I think it might come back to bite the sharks in the years to come. How do you determine something real special. It’s got strength, lots of power it’s got skill in our blood to. He looks like he wants to be a better fit he wants to be a good footballer he so he knows the game loves the game and you. Know it’s when you when you get talent mix is hard work that’s when you get the fruits of a football there’s nothing could be one of those.
Don Rogers: [00:02:50] Especially being up there he’s from that area sort of playing from his family and friends Duke also takes you to that next level what are your thoughts on that.
Mat Rogers: [00:02:58] Yeah I mean been in a comfortable environments critical I mean I know you know when we came back to see me myself and a few offers to go to other clubs but you know the smaller offer was from Cronulla and I wanted to be around family and friends and to help me sort of settle in and.
Don Rogers: [00:03:12] You move to Queensland left me alone in Sydney.
Mat Rogers: [00:03:15] I’m a grown up big going back then. That night it was it was a big part of my my reasoning for going to Cronulla it was just the familiarity and he’ll have that going back to Newcastle. So now looking at one and one of the sharks Gallop I think they’ll regret that news.
Don Rogers: [00:03:32] Mate thanks for your thoughts on your Rising Star.
Don Rogers: [00:03:37] John Morris at the helm of Cronulla – the Bomber. First year how do you think. How do you think he’s going to go his coaching. Do you see the sharks performing this year?
Mat Rogers: [00:03:47] Well you know John Morris is a great coach and you see proven in the lower grades and he was always going to be a first grade coach.
Mat Rogers: [00:03:54] You know I think the turmoil at Cronulla now is probably fast forward the tape a little bit for him. And you know whether he has success this year or not that is not going to determine whether John Morris is going to be a good first grade coach I think he’s gonna be going to be tough for him. He’s got some very senior players there that are strong minded and you know he’s played with those guys. He knows those guys. So you know you just hope that those players show him the respect it deserves and coach you can get the job done.
Don Rogers: [00:04:19] G’day Terryy great to see you again on this week’s show we’re talking rising stars and also was just interested to get your thoughts on who we should be looking out for the Dogs and keep an eye on.
Terry Lamb: [00:04:28] For me it’s Lachlan Lewis.
Terry Lamb: [00:04:30] He’s good calm he’s he’s pretty cool man. Good. Great kicking game and he’s got time and I think as a rugby league player you need to learn and be relaxed and he’s got all that.
Don Rogers: [00:04:42] I’m looking forward to seeing what the guys definitely got some great pedigree there.
Terry Lamb: [00:04:46] That’s purely has my. Absolutely. I’ve played with the king and against him and I want to shoot and he wants but he’s a great person to play with. He’s got half Wally’s pedigree Good luck to him.
Don Rogers: [00:05:00] I finally just how do you think how do you say your dogs. You know you’re one of the greatest 5/8’s ever to play the game. The Bulldogs legend. How do you see the kennel pay for the dogs coming out the kennel gosh I’m going.
Terry Lamb: [00:05:13] To be stupid for my sake. We’re going to win the Grand Final if we make the eight anything could happen. So I’m happy for them to make the eight.
Don Rogers: [00:05:22] Thanks for your time. Did I tell you it’s great to see you as always. Wish the Dogs all the best.
Terry Lamb: [00:05:27] Thank you very much. Thank you. Cheers.
Don Rogers: [00:05:28] Cheers.
