Storm Chasers – Rabbitohs Captains Run

Bunnies TV live and free returned to Redfern today. Browny and Chaps couldn’t make it for the early broadcast so I went solo.

Channel member Karina Haase agreed to conduct a sound and quality check on our live stream. Karina did this for us around midnight all the way from her home in Germany. What a legend!

Once Karina confirmed I was coming in loud and clear the live stream proceeded without a problem. I focused on Jacob Host, Keaon Koloamatangi, Tom Burgess and others around the field.

Our camera zoomed in on an injured player that I had trouble identifying so our live stream chat provided the answer. It was Aaron Macey, a young centre or fullback who has signed with the club until the end of 2024.

Disaster struck in the 24th minute of the broadcast when our 5G device disconnected from the laptop. The stream ended when I was mid sentence chatting to a viewer in Minnesota, USA.

Live & Free…for 24 minutes!

Undeterred, I packed up and moved onto the next assignment, filming the Jason Demetriou interview with Chaps who had by now arrived at Redfern Oval.

While we waited we chatted to various people in the crowd and our mate Andrew Roberts dropped in for a chat. Former club captain Mario Fenech posed for a photo with his friend Marc Montano and mingled with the players on the field.

Jacob Hosts’ mum Cathy came over for a chat and told me that her dad John Shanahan used to work with my dad Dick Mavin at The Herald. Cathy even remembered working with me as a casual on Saturday nights putting inserts into the Sunday paper.

We presented a Darrell Lea box to injured forward Shaquai Mitchell.

I had a conversation with injured forward Shaquai Mitchell who described the nasty foot injury that has sidelined him for an extended period. We then presented Shaq with a box of Darrell Lea products..there’s something special in every bite.

I can also report that it was a Burgess boy treble there today. Tom and coach Sam were joined by brother George who stopped by to say hello. I spotted George Piggins in the crowd again today too.

Coach JD

After Jason Demetriou had finished talking to the media we sat down with him for another one on one exclusive. Chaps was brilliant again so don’t miss it.

Chaps was on fire with JD today.

Benjamin Lovett

While we recorded the JD chat I noticed that club debutant Ben Lovett (first grade player number #1189) was still on the field. I made a request to club media manager Jeremy Monahan and minutes later I was capturing a bonus interview with young Benny from Parkes. Don’t miss that one too, it will be uploaded tomorrow.
