Danika is great. It is a much more measured conversation that draws Gus out. The same when she is with Joey. She respects and handles these big personalities well but still brings fun into it. Much prefer her to Thompson.
True god the last 2 weeks having Danita hosting this podcast has been a breathe of fresh air. Kinda hoping that Matt Thomson loses his passport and gets stuck in France until the season’s over. Cest’ bon!!
Absolutely 💯 he should go back to the newspapers... Why dose 9 keep trying to put these people Infront of the NRL. Vossy, tomson, braisey.. get rid of the paper pushers and bring in more ex players men n woman.. just saying I watch 9 footy on mute, but listen to the ABC grandstand playcall now those boys know football and the fans..
@@LT-sz1fj that and her condescending tone of voice to the players. Guaranteed to stuff up in the finals if she's there which she probably will be. Belinda Sharpe is competent and not sure of her name but the young lady who ref's the girl goes OK.
@gattingbowledwarne over the full year for sure, although klien needs to work out that ego. First 10 rounds for kasey were unbelievable, to perform like that and have a job has to be a woke thing
She is a poor ref! Gender does not matter when it comes to a high standard of reffing! She is not up to the standard so stop making a issue out of it!! On another note you are knocking those questioning her credibility yet channel 9 are constantly defending Badger???
@@tarik567 You know, blockheads like you say asinine things like that, I was once a junior referee whilst playing rep rugby union. It's not as easy as you think and the cards are stacked against you. Most of the referees in most elite sports are a "mates and dates" club. Meaning it's nepotism central, all the husbands, wives etc of established personalities receive cushy positions or skip selection criteria for roles. Do some critical thinking, because you're as dense as Osmium.
@joshloreto2676 i understand mate, unfortunately though there is a big shortage of good ref's. But everyone always shitting on them does not make people want to start reffing or want their kids to get into it. So creates a spiral. But I understand I don't think she's the best in the buis either
Great Poddy again! Good to hear from Danica and listening to different perspectives. Great chemistry between Phillip and Danica. She looks natural, I like this look. Great to listen to intelligent people!
Let's be honest here, Kasey Badger is an awful ref. Her being in the bunker is even worse. She has one look and that's it decision made. I feel like she shouldn't be involved in reffing anymore. There are a ton of other better refs than her.
Reffs need to be held to the same standard as players and coaching staff. If they're incompetent then they should get the sack and Kasey badger is hopeless
I remember the League Olympics in 78. They probably wouldn’t be allowed to call it that these days. It was a fun watch. I think Corowa, Gartner Rogers we’re 1, 2 and 3 in the 100m. He final event was the team relay. You had to include a certain number of p,Ayer’s from the previous week so it was forwards as well as backs. Captains had to run the anchor league. Great watching Steve Edge bring home the Dragons holding off being run down. Dragons were not known as a particularly fast team but their forwards were very quick. John Jansen once stayed with Steve Rogers in an 80m chase to the try line.
how do all? congrat's to the troops being recognised for their skill on the paddock. still think gavin cooper, [ 5 tries in less than 6 minutes of game time and demanded the ball off jt's hits enabling time to plan and execute. ], deserves a place at the top. haven't seen highlights reel yet but 'gav' took 3 parra players 10m to the tryline in '15, [ 5 tries in 12 minutes ]. keep up the good work gus and co. taztez.
Surely the partnership of Danika and Gus needs to continue. I have never been more attentive listening to this podcast than I have over the last 2 weeks. By the way…my 2c worth …..2 dropouts is a damn good idea for a podcast name.
Gus often talks about Jack Heatherington. Never mentions why the Bulldogs let him go to the Knights. The Bulldogs have been looking for another middle ever since he left, why didn’t they keep him?
I'm liking their comments cos Tomo is horrendous at his job.. I'd listen to Gus and anyone but brais n tomo.. they don't have a clue.. looking at footy from a pen pusher rather than a premiership pusher....
Gus probably wont read this. But i think the high scoring games is from teams getting in form. A lot of movement means they needed to learn how to play with one another. The brisbane broncos lost so many players between 2023 ans 2024 its hard to call it the same team. The results show that.
Larry Corowa Kerry Boustead & John Ferguson? & I agree with my esteemed fellow listeners, Danica has q great relaxed demeanour about her, & I think she has a great rugby league brain. An asset to this podcast Dearden is everything Walker is not. I think it will be the both of them who will be leading Queensland for the next 5 years at least Send Tigers to Perth
No one is questioning Kasey's credibility, but her lack of ability could lead to the perception of bias if they go the wrong way. They are just protecting their dei hire.
Yep its basic risk management. Doesn't mean she would ever intentionally be impartial but the risk is inevitable under such a scenario. Change the scenario, eliminate the risk.
Criticise all of them, every week the same refs make howlers. We need a relegation/promotion system with referees. Players don’t perform, they get dropped.. Coaches don’t perform literally lose their jobs 😅
Show is so much better without Matt Thomson, he doesnt get the game and asks dumb questions. Danika is sensible and with her asking the questions Gus seems less annoyed.
Her credibility issues are associated with her abilities. Her integrity is fine. Her talent is not. It’s not an easy job but she is below average. She is not alone though. The standard is poor
My god Gus rambles i know this is a poscast but he sure can make a 30 second statement turn into aa ten minute speech consisting of the same 3 points repeated 3 times 3 different ways lol.
I question Casey's cred when Casey denies Sharks left wing clear forced try,,don't ave to ave exact down pressure,,I despise Bunker for denying 100s of fair TD tries a year when there is No Damn knock on hysg Bunk,yers r dumb or evil in my opinion
I don't understand the hate for Matt. He's genuine, knowledgeable, and likeable. Danica is great too, but stop simping. Would like to see the 3 of them work together
Danika is great. It is a much more measured conversation that draws Gus out. The same when she is with Joey. She respects and handles these big personalities well but still brings fun into it. Much prefer her to Thompson.
True god the last 2 weeks having Danita hosting this podcast has been a breathe of fresh air. Kinda hoping that Matt Thomson loses his passport and gets stuck in France until the season’s over.
Cest’ bon!!
Gotta get a fake drug trafficking charge or something going so he gets held a bit longer at the airport lol
Nothing beats when the great James Bracey hosted this, but "Danita" is 1 million times better than Thomson.
Yeah, she gives him so much more space to talk rather than hyping everything and chucking in so many comments. It's the Gus show, let the man speak.
He sucks, on every podcast he's on. thinks he actually worthwhile in 'freddy and the eighth'
Agreed DM should keep hosting the show..a breathe of fresh air
more Danika please
Anyone but braisey tomo or vossy...
@@icepakpackie425Yeh, Vossy does my head in. Find it hard to listen to him commentating too...over dramatised.
First 5 mins feels like Gus is doing a job interview to replace Matt 😂
😂😂
Danika is so cute, loved hearing about her come up and experience
Gus seems much more relaxed and chatty with Danika there!
That's the difference when his mate is working with him then work college's that the boss makes you work with.
sack Matt keep Darnika
@@mattmccgowan Who is Darnika?
Keep Danika, she makes this podcast tolerable
No more tomson please Channel 9. Keep it like this.
I think Gus agrees with that too.
Who wouldn't @@bobbrewer5182

@@bobbrewer5182Yes!
ABC call is very good and you get sports news from whatever else is going on.
Great work Danika and Gus
Love the chemistry between Gus and Danita, isn't she lovely and such a professional.
Love you Dankia, wish you stay on six tackles
No one criticises Belinda Sharpe, Everyone does Badger because she’s constantly making clueless decisions that effect games
@@LT-sz1fj that and her condescending tone of voice to the players. Guaranteed to stuff up in the finals if she's there which she probably will be. Belinda Sharpe is competent and not sure of her name but the young lady who ref's the girl goes OK.
Somehow everyone missed this
I hear ya I cannot believe it, iv seen every nrl game this year and she is the worst by far!!
@@joshloreto2676worse than Klein? He’s terrible
@gattingbowledwarne over the full year for sure, although klien needs to work out that ego. First 10 rounds for kasey were unbelievable, to perform like that and have a job has to be a woke thing
Just watching the start and this is great chemistry. Love it

Australia loves the "Wokey Chockey" when it comes to this female push into
the sport.
We have a lot better female ref's
@@youchwb6005yawn
@youchwb6005 you have to be correct. I have watched every single game this year and she stands out like dogs breakfast over every ref
Danika without much make up still such a beautiful women.
Danika is Awesome. Keep her on the show.
Keep Danika
Danika is so much better
Kasey badger is terrible at her job and should be sacked
You should become a ref
I been saying this all year and I hate to say it but some calls or non calls are unbelievable
@tarik567 she's been the worst by far all year, if he wasn't correct I'd be saying you try do it but unfortunately it's the truth

Enjoyed leaning about Danika, the stories you don’t usually hear !
can listen to Gus talking about footy for hours. other people I could only listen to for 2 minutes or less
Danika is so good, that was great!
Let's be honest here, Kasey Badger is an awful ref. Her being in the bunker is even worse. She has one look and that's it decision made. I feel like she shouldn't be involved in reffing anymore. There are a ton of other better refs than her.
K.badger is a bad ref
Sick of the NRL pretending she's competent. She's dangerous in the bunker.
Changes the rules to suit her own interpretation, and acts like she's been top ref for 50 years...
I can't wait for the day she goes into the nrl hall of fame for being the 1st female referee, we all know it's going to happen
@@TheUndertaker575 dangerous is right mate, she's costing teams vital calls weekly, guaranteed she'll stuff up a finals game.
DANIKA > MATT
Reffs need to be held to the same standard as players and coaching staff. If they're incompetent then they should get the sack and Kasey badger is hopeless
You got to give it to her,she is good,we could do with her in England.
Jenna Brooks does a decent job imo.

Every player should watch this.
Would get more views if u put Danika on the thumbnail instead of matt
1 look Kasey Badger. Only checks one angle. Someone needs to make her watch the rest of them before she decides
Great interview Gus!
how do all?
congrat's to the troops being recognised for their skill on the paddock.

Welk done Gus. Big numbers because you talk some sense.

Loved the Danica Mason interview. She is a fantastic broadcaster.
Gus is 100% correct, are they questioning Kasey's Integrity at Foxsports, the Daily Telegraph and the NRL...?
All the simps glazing Danika in the comments 🤣
I'm liking their comments cos Tomo is horrendous at his job.. I'd listen to Gus and anyone but brais n tomo.. they don't have a clue.. looking at footy from a pen pusher rather than a premiership pusher....
@@icepakpackie425 Thompson is a mutt but Danika hasn't won any prems either so your logic isn't logicing
Danika is genuinely good though
KASEY BADGER IS AN EXCELLENT REFEREE AND OF THE HIGHEST INTEGRITY. BOTH LADIES SHOULD BE REFEREEING MORE NRL GAMES.
This is gold
Since Seinfeld went off the air, good comedy is hard to find
Gus probably wont read this. But i think the high scoring games is from teams getting in form. A lot of movement means they needed to learn how to play with one another.
The brisbane broncos lost so many players between 2023 ans 2024 its hard to call it the same team. The results show that.
100m race would be Saab, Savage, Koula, Jojo Fifita, AKP, Coates, Hammer, JAC and Mariner. Savage, Koula and Jojo Fifita are known track runners.
Weekes is pretty quick too

What about gerard Sutton and the bulldogs record under him since 2015. 2/19 wins v losses
@@MaxKurth-cs8dt dangerous ref costs teams games. His latest interpretation of what a simple knock on is a joke,
Keep GUS OR BRING BACK BRACEY.
Thompson is great dont get me wrong but not easy to listen to on a podcast
"Keep Gus or bring back Bracey"... so if we don't keep Gus, then we bring back Bracy and what? Its Thompson and Bracey? Wtf lmao
First 5 minutes = Gus Rizz
Where TF is Freddie and the 8th. Get it together. Plus why is this not on tv
You tube is the new TV
Badgers credibility not questioned - just heading off any attampt by anyone to make the suggestion
Competence isn't questioned either. There is no question she is incompetent
WE WANT 16
everyone talks about AKP from titans being quick but titans reckon Jojo fifita is quicker across 100
It's a conflict of interest Gus. You know that, no matter how honest Mrs Badger is
Yep its basic risk management. Doesn't mean she would ever intentionally be impartial but the risk is inevitable under such a scenario. Change the scenario, eliminate the risk.
Liam Knight is a lucky man.
Larry Corowa & John Ferguson?
did u guys know, damien cook was a beach sprinter?
Keep Danika the likes of her and Bracey are much more personable imo.
Gus circling Dani like a hungry shark…or dog rather 😜
Criticise all of them, every week the same refs make howlers. We need a relegation/promotion system with referees. Players don’t perform, they get dropped.. Coaches don’t perform literally lose their jobs 😅
22:06 The Hammer?
Gee she's awful, ridiculous one-sided penalty counts.Forgets about the ten metres for long periods.
Show is so much better without Matt Thomson, he doesnt get the game and asks dumb questions. Danika is sensible and with her asking the questions Gus seems less annoyed.
No question on her integrity but I've seen far better refs at local grade level
and to the Danika simps 🤢
I think im in love with Danika 😋😘😘😘💓💓💓💓🥵🥵🥵
I'm on the keep Danika bandwagon.
Hey Hey Hey what's with all the Tommo hate? Nah I get it, he turned his back on the NRL to work at Olympics. I get it tho😂🇦🇺
@@Hubbabubba1999 it’s hard to get a good caller. Thompson is no good, Psaltis is better.
Because she’s a corrupt referee
Her credibility issues are associated with her abilities. Her integrity is fine. Her talent is not. It’s not an easy job but she is below average. She is not alone though. The standard is poor
Because that is called corruption, and she could easily favour the team he works for
Have no issues with Kasey’s credibility but her competency is highly questionable
poor Rabs hahahaha
My god Gus rambles i know this is a poscast but he sure can make a 30 second statement turn into aa ten minute speech consisting of the same 3 points repeated 3 times 3 different ways lol.
Yep. And yet here we are listening to it anyway lol
Kasey Badger should be sacked
Please please get rid of Thompson he doesn’t hold a candle..
Kasey can’t even ref. Simple
Ashley Klein should be sacked
Why wrongly I was thinking Danika was a Queenslander? 😊
Slowest player is Blake lawrie this coming from a dragons fan
Like this comment if you would pound danika
PNG is a joke team ,Real NRL would have Adelaide
UP THE RAMS
She is absolutely hopeless....
I could do a better job doing bunker from my iPhone 6 in bed
no more Mathew Thompson the female is better. sorry don't know her name
i like Matt
Hey Gus - I'll give you a dollar if you shut up.
That Danika interview at the start was a little awkward, can tell she wanted to move on from it quickly too.
Bunch of sad keyboard warriors saying they should replace matt. Hes been doing a great job and he vibes with gus really well.
Why is having an opinion being a keyboard warrior? This isn’t North Korea 🤷♂️
