Local NRL derby pits Triple M Brisbane’s Dan Anstey against Premier David Crisafulli

It’s Dan Anstey versus Premier David Crisafulli.

It’s shaping up as a huge Saturday for Queensland NRL fans, no matter who you follow, with the Redcliffe Dolphins v the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville followed by the Gold Coast Titans up against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp.

As a result, things got a little heated in the Triple M Brisbane studios this week, and, during the Marto, Margaux & Dan Breakfast show, a bet was brokered between brekky co-host Dan Anstey and Queensland Premier David Crisafulli.

As soon as Premier Crisafulli – a proud Cowboys fan – entered Triple M, the home of the Dolphins, it was on.

“Here’s the bet,” Anstey said. “If the Dolphins beat the Cowboys you have to insert the word dolphin and the phrase “Phins Up” in the press conference.”

The Premier replied “That’s the easiest challenge that you’ve given me, I can talk about a flashlight, a brand of team, a marine animal, I can mention the sporting team. That’s easy. But if the Cowboys win, and we are severely the underdog, the next time you’re on TV doing the crazy things you do, I want to see you in a Cowboys jersey.”

Anstey said “Alright, bet’s on. You’ll get me in a Cowboys jersey, but you’ve got to insert Dolphins as many times into a press conference.”
