1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Kevre is he I made his galivander around the world again. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I tell you what the show 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: has gotten now, right over six. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 3: Hundred NRL games, fifty tests or you've played fifty yourself. 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 2: Well, premierships. This show can't get any bigger. 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: Mate, mate, And there's no Queensland bias for the show either, right. 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 3: The anti bias so there is is the wardrobe we've 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 3: given me. 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: Now I've got to. 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 4: Had to send it off a little bit. 11 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got to try and be a little bit 12 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: fair to out in New South Wales. 13 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Origin decided Sun called keV. You lived it in every 14 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: player coach fan. Honestly it's rugul leg heaven. 15 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: Isn't It's beautiful, particularly up in Queensland. Now everyone knows 16 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: the story about me through the hole on the fence 17 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 3: for the first Devastate of Origin. 18 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: Game at lang Park in nineteen eighty and since then 19 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: when I. 20 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: Walked out there, walked or crawled through that fence, I 21 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 3: just wanted to be part of it in some way 22 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: and I was fortunate enough to play as a player 23 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: and then to get that opportunity to coach Queensland as well. 24 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: You're in those great souls that we're all part of. 25 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: It's just something that has just stayed with me and 26 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 3: I always I love State of Origin, particularly at Suncorp. 27 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a great place to be. It's 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: where you want to be if you're a footy player. 29 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: And I remember your first ever coaches for your first 30 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: ever Origin game. 31 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 4: It was that story. 32 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: You got up in front of the room and you 33 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: struggle to get the words out of what coaching Queensland 34 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: meant right. You spoke about your brothers cutting through the 35 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: fence at sun Corp and seeing Arthur and seeing all. 36 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 4: Those great players do it. 37 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: And there is there is a secret source to coach 38 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: in Origin about getting the emotion and the performance balance 39 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: from Billy's got it right. But if Laurie is to 40 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: be the leader of arguably at New Southwales's greatest ever victory, 41 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: he has to get his pregame address like you did 42 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: that night, spot on it. 43 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: It's got to be. 44 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: It's got to be really spot on and also very 45 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: clear messaging and direct, and you've got you've got to 46 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: hit the heart springs with Origin because there's so much 47 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: more than just running out and doing your job. There's 48 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: so much more attached to state of origin as a player. 49 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's for me in the coach's box. Once 50 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: you say those final words, the game is open. It's on, 51 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 3: and the players have got to react to what happens 52 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: on the field. And I feel it's most important to 53 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 3: be very clear with your messaging and keep it nice 54 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: and simple. 55 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: But also I'm an emotional person, keep says. 56 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: You know, you know, we've known each other for a 57 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: long time now, so it's hard for me to get 58 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: up in front of you guys and not get emotional 59 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: and just looking around the room and I can see 60 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: the steely you're making me go Now it's just taking 61 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: me back to that room, you know, that final address, 62 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: Not so much in the change rooms, in the dressing room, 63 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: but before we get on the bus, that last you know, 64 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: three or four minutes sort of mention of the game, 65 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: a little bit about the gameplay, but more about what 66 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: it means to play for Queensland. And we have so 67 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: much attachment with our fans and our people that that's 68 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: the big thing about origin. And I think on on 69 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: Wednesday night, that'll be the big thing for the Queensland 70 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: players playing. 71 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: They're representing their people. 72 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: I remember that night. 73 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: You didn't actually didn't have to speak of like your 74 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: body language. 75 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: It showed how much it or mentally trying to keep 76 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: it in. 77 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: But looking around the room said all these great faces, 78 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: I'm thinking, wow, this is unbelievable. 79 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: All right, I'm South Wales. I've got a pull off 80 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a miracle. Their record at Suncorp is not great, thirty 81 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: five percent winning percentage at Suncrp. But then we moved 82 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the deciders at Suncourp. It's three wins from thirteen games. Now, 83 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: I said, before New South Wales win this, after what 84 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: happened in game one with Kaylen Ponger, the big score 85 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: line in game two. If New South Wales win this, 86 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: it's got to be one of their best victories of 87 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: all time. 88 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: I think so. 89 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: And I remember playing against Lorry Daily in the ninety 90 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: four decider at Suncorp was one all that was a miracle. 91 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: Tri Mark coins level the series in Sydney. So he 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: came back to Suncourt for the decider. Lorry was part 93 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: of that side and they beat us on our home 94 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: and it was just an empty feeling in our stomachs. 95 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: And so he's experienced it as a player and I'm 96 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: pretty sure as a coach as well, he's won a 97 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: decider maybe twenty fourteen. 98 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: I think he was involved there coaching New South. 99 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: Wales, so he's got all the experience there to pass 100 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: that onto his players. Because if you're in New South 101 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: Welshman coming up, they really have got They've got the 102 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: game of they do that. 103 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: They are an elite team that just haven't played close 104 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: to their potential. 105 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: Now, well, I'm in agreement with it. 106 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: You know, this team that they have selected for Game 107 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: three is I believe the best team they've selected for 108 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: all three games, and it's good experience in there. You know, 109 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: we'll probably talk a little bit more. What do you 110 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: like about it? 111 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: What don't you like about the New South Wales team? 112 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: Bostock over to I don't mind that. I think Bostoc 113 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: is a triscorer. I mean he's a great player. And 114 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: I heard Laurie's comments. This is a one off game, 115 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: so they've put all their eggs in the one basket 116 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: on a bit of height on the wings, which I've 117 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: got now with Mark no longer and to us and 118 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: Jack Bosstock, so they've got big heights so their targets 119 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: tryes are hard to score in Origin and if you've 120 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: got some wingers that can jump high and catch the ball, 121 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: that's a I'm not going to say an easy try, 122 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: but it's one area where you can pick up points 123 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 3: when you're down there. 124 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: The Bostock is a gun player, like he will play 125 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: a lot of rep football in Origin for New South Wales. 126 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 1: I feel like the conversation between Lory Dally and Total 127 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: should have been like, hey, Brian, can you do this 128 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: for me in some court? 129 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: I think Brian. 130 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: Would have absolutely done it for Well Southwest like he 131 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: is small, yes, and Jojo Feeder jumped over him. But 132 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: how many times had Brian to be beaten in the air? 133 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? Many times. 134 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: I guess it's a coach's court, a gut feel from 135 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: Lorrie Daly. 136 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: And Brian is an exceptional player. 137 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: I mean he's got Premiership rings that he doesn't know 138 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 3: what to do with, you know, and Origin wins and 139 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: series wins. 140 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 2: So that's a big call and a very brave call. 141 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: How does it feel having that many Grand Final rings 142 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: not wanting to do with it? 143 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: Mate? Well you're talking to the wrong black player. 144 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 3: You know all about that stuff, right, But this, Yeah, 145 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: so that's a big call and probably the biggest one, 146 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: I feel of the New South Wales. So had to 147 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: leave Brian out because he's been such a good player 148 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: for a long time. He's been an institution in that 149 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 3: New South Wales side. But Jack brings, he brings up, 150 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 3: he brings height, and he's confident the Dolphins are playing well, 151 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 3: so I can understand, you know, why Laurie has gone 152 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: that way. But he's a good player and we're about 153 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: to see how good. You know, we don't what else 154 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 3: he's good at cooking. 155 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 4: He's a very good that's going to help him cooking 156 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: too well. Next time. 157 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: He's not going to help him in origin, but you 158 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: know when he gets home the next couple of days, 159 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: he's a good chef in the kitchen. 160 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: Turbo left out, Yeah, best chosen. I'm a Turboman. 161 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 162 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: Well, I feel like if New South Wales are going 163 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: to win this game, you always need guys who are 164 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: so stoic, so almost like stud like, and Turbo is that. Yes, 165 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: he's had some injury concerns and he's only been back 166 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, but I feel like him 167 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: in the centers is a really big thing for New 168 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: South Wales. Bradman's a good player and he's had some 169 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: moments at some court which is probably which. 170 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 4: Led to it. But I would have had Turbo. 171 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's an argument both sides, isn't there Turbo. 172 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: I've been on the end of Turbo at Origin level. 173 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: He scored two or. 174 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: Three tries down in Melbourne one game and destroyed Queensland 175 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: in the air as well. He's very good, but Bradman 176 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: best just he's another one. He's a try scorer. He's 177 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: in the right frame of mind at the moment. I 178 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: had a little bit to do with him last year 179 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: on the Kangaroo tool. I was very impressed with his 180 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: attitude and his preparation. He didn't unfortunately didn't get a 181 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: game over there, but you just see the steely eyes 182 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: about him that he's a winner. And I remember him 183 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: scoring a try in the Under nineteens Origin and he 184 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: ran the length of the field to win the game 185 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: for New South Wales. And here he is some few 186 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 3: years later playing for New South Wales in the centers. 187 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: He won't let New South Wales down and what he 188 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: also brings is that attacking opportunity out of yardage. I 189 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: think they'll feed him a lot of football and he's big, strong, 190 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: he's got a great fand on him, so. 191 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: He will he will be up against Rob Toys, so he. 192 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: Will have a big night. I think in that role, 193 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: Rob's got to be on his game in defense, which 194 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: he is to keep Bradman Best at Bay. 195 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, because both that match up between Rob Toury and Best, 196 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: they've both got the ability to go left, the right 197 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: foot back inside, They've got the fender, they've got the fist. 198 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, that matchup, Yeah, terrific stuff. 199 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: But I can understand why Laurie has selected Bradman as well, 200 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: because he's in good form and he's confident and you know, 201 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: I just I can just see the look in his 202 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: eye that he wants he has to go after the Origin. 203 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: Now Laurie can make a change before the game starts. 204 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: But as it's named Ken Murray's on the bench, would 205 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: you have started him now? 206 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: I think off the bench and I think is a 207 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: good option for him. I like as Aeo. 208 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: I think he gets New South Wales off to a 209 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: great start. He's big, he's athletic, he's got that leadership 210 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: too that has been very prominent for Penrith and also 211 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: for New South Wales and Australia. 212 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 2: Last year on that tour. Again, I go back to 213 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: that and my. 214 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: Experience with him is he's all class and I feel 215 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: that in these big pressure moments which Origin will showcase 216 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 3: in Origin three, you want those sort of players in 217 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: your team and on the field to get things moving quickly. 218 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really fussed by this one. I think 219 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: the first interchange for New South Wales will be Mitch 220 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: Barnett off Murray onto the field, so essentially they're going 221 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: to have and Murray on the field at the same time. 222 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Pretty early on Moses, Now Moses was is that a 223 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: sort of up and down. 224 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 4: Year with fitness and form? 225 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: Him and Nathan were pretty good in the first half 226 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: but really didn't get New South Wales over the line 227 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: obviously in the second half and the other night against 228 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: South Sydney he was. 229 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: Below he's best. 230 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: What do you do as a coach when you've got 231 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: a gun player that Yes he's played big games for 232 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: New South Wales and handled big moments, but not in 233 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: the best form. Laurie Daily have a one on one 234 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: chat with Moses to get a gut feeling of whether 235 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: he can deliver for his state. 236 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I've done this with before at Origin level. 237 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: So I used to make up without giving away too 238 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: many of my. 239 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: Secrets, just make up a little reel of their highlights, 240 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: reel of them and show so they'd have to go 241 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: too far back from Mitchell Moses at Origin level for 242 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 3: his highlight reel Origin one last year, it's unclet. 243 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: So trying to get them back into the right positive 244 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: mindset can. 245 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: Just reminding them that they are good football, you're a 246 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: great player, and this is what you can do. And 247 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: I think it's I remember wayn Bennett used to do 248 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 3: that with us a lot at the Broncos when you're 249 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: sort of just missing a bit of form and you're 250 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: down a little bit on confidence. 251 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: Well show here's some evidence. Hey you still got this. 252 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: You're away and you know, I feel like I went 253 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: back and watched Origin one from last year when Mitchell 254 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: and Nathan played together and they were very dynamic and 255 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: got New South Wales away in that first half I 256 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: think it was sixteen nil or fourteen nil at halftime, 257 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: they picked up two or three tries and they just 258 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: combined well together, which we haven't we haven't seen do 259 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: that as yet in this year's series. But I'm very 260 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: fearful from a Queensland perspective that those two will combine 261 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: really well in Game three. 262 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: And You've had a similar thing coaching Queensland. Billy didn't 263 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: get picked for Game one twenty seven. 264 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite stories. 265 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had dary Is, but then Billy comes back 266 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: and oldately is a big player and the decider. 267 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well unfortunately, well the selector's Queensland team is 268 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: myself back in the day was myself, Geene Miles and 269 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: Darren Lockyer. 270 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: The funny story is. 271 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 3: They both left him out and I wanted him, but 272 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: we decided that Darius was the right option because they 273 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 3: Darry said played for Australia only two weeks before in 274 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: the ANZAC Test and Billy was coming back from a 275 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: shoulder injury and we thought it was best to leave 276 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: Billy out, knowing that he obviously play in the series, 277 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: but so I had to ring him up. It's one 278 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 3: of the hardest things I've had to do at Origin 279 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 3: level was to ring Billy Slater and say, mate, you 280 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: know you're not in the team. Unfortunately we've had to 281 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: leave you out and he was obviously disappointed. But he's 282 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 3: I still remember him saying to me, that's unfortunate, keV. 283 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: You know, good luck with your decision. 284 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: I hope Queensland goes well and I'll see you in 285 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 3: game two. And then he hung the phone up. We 286 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: got we got beaten in game. But my family just 287 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: you know, we used to sit around and pick Origin 288 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 3: teams every year since I can remember, twelve thirteen years old. 289 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 3: This is our Origin teams, and big discussion around the 290 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: world is household this my family. 291 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 2: Now I've got five kids and we did the same thing. 292 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: And my two youngest kids, Harry and Iver, made up 293 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: a big sign on Butcher's paper, you know, bringing back 294 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: Billy in big words, and underneath it you dickcare. 295 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: Well paying dividend. Because I remember game three to that 296 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: and seven and it'll be my last. Yeah, well you 297 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: could have told me, no, Thurston injured. 298 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 3: Monster Coaster came in first, and that was Cameron's last 299 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: game as well Cameras last game, which I didn't know 300 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: at the time. I don't think. Maybe yeah, I didn't know. 301 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: Both of you two were moving on, which is fine, 302 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: no problem. But you look back now and I think 303 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: what a special game that was for me. As the 304 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: coach your last game for Queensland. Jonathan played his last 305 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: game in Origin too. He banged his shoulder up Cameron 306 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 3: Smith's last game and also Cameron Munster on Daboo and 307 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: played that shot the lights out. 308 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: I said there was going to be no Queensland buyers. 309 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: So let's wind it back to the blue. 310 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: Okay, right, blue corner, blue corner. 311 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: You South Wales attack. What do you think they've got 312 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: to do to score the points to win this thing? 313 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: Right? 314 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of things. 315 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 3: I think they've got to play a little bit more 316 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: direct through the middle of Queensland. One, you get at 317 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: the middle forwards of Queensland tie them out so they 318 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: don't have the energy. Now, possession is key in any game, 319 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: but particularly in Origin. 320 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: If you haven't got the ball, you can't score points. 321 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 3: So they need to get an even share of possession, 322 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: which they haven't had in the first two games. 323 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: So they and how do you do that. 324 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: We'll get through your sets, complete your sets and play 325 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: with discipline. So they do that, and also Cleary and 326 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: Moses together they need to get on both the longest 327 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: shifts playing together. Todesco there as well less three of 328 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: the best attacking players in our game. That would worry Queensland, 329 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 3: you know, I believe. 330 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: I think the key for New South Wales is they've 331 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: got to attack Munster and Walker. I don't think one 332 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: Munster and Walker have been put under enough pressure defensive one, 333 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: You've got Hudson Young difficult to tackle. You've got Martin 334 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: on the right hand side that's got a beautiful combination 335 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: with Nathan Cleary, and then you got ol Kuwatu that's 336 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: going to come off the bench at some stage. So 337 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: I think the key for Moses and Cleary to deliver 338 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: a victory is they've got to use their back rolls 339 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: up and isolate than one on one with the Queensland halves. 340 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: If they do that with more short passes and running 341 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: the ball in the first twenty minutes, it will open up. 342 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I'll show some vision where I think New South Wales 343 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: can get a little bit better because when they do isolate. 344 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Here's one here he uses up Young and see how 345 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: Sam Walker just bites in too much on Young because 346 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: he's worried about the tackle. Well, this leads to pong 347 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: of being sent off. But you've got to isolate the 348 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: halfbacks with bigger back rolls here. Ethan's strange one on 349 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: one with Monster. It's a no try. But you put 350 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: him under. 351 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: Pressure, Yeah, definitely, and I couldn't agree with him more. 352 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: I went back and you know, great mind sinker like 353 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: Cooper here, Sam Walker made twelve tackles in the first 354 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: and the second state of origin, which to me, you know, 355 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: that's not enough from a New South Wales perspective. 356 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's not that he you know, he's. 357 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: Not He can tackle all right, but you just got 358 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: to get at them as much as you can. 359 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: And the same for coincident. 360 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: We expect Monster to make a lot of tackles as 361 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: well and be involved because it takes your energy and 362 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: it takes you your process. 363 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: There yet there you go. 364 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: This is the key here. 365 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: See they attack Walker here and get the ball all 366 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the way to the other side. Codder is defending inside Munster. 367 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: He goes in and now they're isolated. So that's the 368 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: blueprint for me for New South Wales. Tack left and 369 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: then get the ball to your key playmakers to go 370 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: to the other thing exactly. 371 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: And with Moses Mitchell, Moses that is, and Nathan Cleary 372 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: pulling the strings there with Moses out the back. He's 373 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: very good with that sort of shape. And then you've 374 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: got Tenesco there as well. That would be quite dangerous 375 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: I would think for queens there. But let's not give 376 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: too much away on this podcast. Hey, what about the 377 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: blueprint for Queensland to win? 378 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: That's coming again. And then the big talking point is 379 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: the new South Wales bench. You got Murray Ola Kawha 380 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: to the now Blake's strange col of Braley. For me, 381 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: Murray Brayley Oli kawa two must play. So now ye 382 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: Murray with the first change, Braley what he did in 383 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: game one definitely gets a start. 384 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: When are you bringing caught. 385 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 4: Twenty five thirty minutes? He needs to see the first half. 386 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 4: He needs to. 387 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: See the first half. 388 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: For me, he's shown enough for me this year for 389 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: the Sharks ending in that game in Origin one that 390 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: he's a dangerous a lot like Harry Green, isn't he? 391 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: The way he plays out of dummy half sharp. 392 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: And you know he's on the field, so you have 393 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 3: to focus some of your you know, your defense around that, 394 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: which then frees up space. If you don't mark him 395 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 3: up properly, that freeze up space through the middle for 396 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: other players. Like paying hats and these sort of guys 397 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: charging onto the ball. So yeah, that's that would be 398 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: quite dynamic for you New South. 399 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: For Lauri Daily, I'm telling Martin and Young to go 400 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: after New Queensland halves. Just don't leave anything and take 401 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: don't worry about the eight minute game. You just go 402 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: out there and you've had enough. I'm bringing Oli Kauatu on. 403 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: So then what do you do with the Neil Blake, 404 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Strange and Coolie. You obviously got to save one there 405 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: for something. Yeah, but who's playing this? 406 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they can all play their role 407 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 3: depending on what's happening, you know, in the game. But 408 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: the three key ones there that we mentioned very vital 409 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 3: for New South Wales and you know, I think if 410 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 3: they can get those guys into the game at the 411 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: right times, that will give Queensland a few more headaches. 412 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: But we've been defending quite well, so you know. 413 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: I like the look of the Queensland bench as well, 414 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 3: which we'll get to a little bit later. But it's 415 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 3: a strong New South side and there's points in this 416 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: New South Wales side. I think there's more points in 417 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: this one that we've seen from the previous two. 418 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: It's enough of the bad guys. The good guys no 419 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: real surprises to their team. Colin's with that head knock 420 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: on the weekend, Carrigan, no footy comes back in. 421 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, worried. 422 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: No, I'm not worried with Pat Carrigan. He's a real 423 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: Actually saw him over the weekend. He's a beast here 424 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: loves he just eats origin up. So Lindsay Collins out. 425 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: He's been very prominent for Queen's there in the last 426 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 3: three or four. To go back to the try, you 427 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: know in game two and you know those high balls 428 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: go up. 429 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: He's always in his legs, never stop moving from a 430 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: big guy, he just never takes a break. 431 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: So that'll be a role that Paddy Will will have 432 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: to fill certainly. And now coming in, you know on 433 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: the bench, he just busted the door down, didn't I 434 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: mean townsball. 435 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: He just said, Billy, I'm here, pick me. 436 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: I think he's the answer to yeah, when there is 437 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: fatigue and a bit of you know, sort of back 438 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: and forth game if it is close and you want 439 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: someone to attack Cleary or Moses like the footwork of Nana, 440 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: but then also with a kicking option, he can catch. 441 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 2: The wall one on one on them in that Cowboys game. 442 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 3: So yeah, so when he's that could be something that 443 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: Billy could do whenever Ow goes on bank slot N 444 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 3: and Nana and let him go. Mate, So mate, we 445 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 3: don't want to see this guy scoring tries. 446 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 4: And Sammy Walker being absolutely brilliant. 447 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Series. 448 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's been extremely good. Surprised me, not 449 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: really because you know, we've seen a lot of see 450 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: him over the years, but was if you think back 451 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: to before the Origin series started, he wasn't even in 452 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: the site. You know, Tom did and has been the 453 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 3: Queensland number seven for the last two or three years, 454 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 3: so for him to get this opportunit he was one 455 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: very opportunist time for see him to come into the side. 456 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 3: But his combination with Munster has just worked so beautifully 457 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: and I feel like the opening two games have suited 458 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 3: his style as well, with the short kicking game that 459 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: he has that Queen's ain't going to get a try 460 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: through his short kicking at some stage, you know, so 461 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 3: there's six points we can sort of lock away. 462 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 2: And defensively he's been very good. 463 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: Again, I thought he might have been in everyone, not 464 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 3: just me, like a bit of a target for the 465 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 3: New South Wales that you know plays, but he has 466 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 3: stood up and we saw him just on Friday night 467 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: against the Broncos to try saving tackle. 468 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: So he's had his stripes this year and rightly so. 469 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 4: Even before the series. 470 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: Like if you had have told me that Walker would 471 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: have outdefended Nathan Cleary or even been more effective in 472 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: the kicking game than Nathan Cleary, I would have fallen 473 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: off this chair. But he he's outplayed Nathan in the 474 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: biggest arena, well he has. 475 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: He won the Man of the Matching game in Game two, 476 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: didn't he down in Melbourne and was probably in the 477 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 3: top two or three players for Game one for Queensland. 478 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: The one thing I like about the Queensland spine is 479 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: for playing the first time with Sam Walker, they've seem 480 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: to get on the page pretty quickly. They're not playing like, yes, 481 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: they're playing to a structure and a system, but once 482 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity they all become ball runners and support 483 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: players and follows it. It's like they've got a rope 484 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: tied to their ankles and once one moves, they all follow. 485 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: The ability for them to connect and then get the 486 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: ball to the space it's going to show some vision 487 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: of why I think that Spine of Queensland has been 488 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: ten out of ten because whenever there is an opportunity, 489 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: the four Spine members compliment one another and they find space. 490 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Here is Sam Walker twenty play the balls inside the 491 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: red zone. He's going to find space and set up 492 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: a try for Rob Toyur. This one here Grant near 493 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: the line sees space. He just runs straight to it. 494 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: What happens, everyone reacts off the back of it and 495 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: sam Ma triassists for Flegers. So for them not having 496 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: played a lot of footballers of pure spine, they're really 497 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: each other's game, really well. 498 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 3: Really good, and they're also selfless to Cooper. When the 499 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: time does come for one of them to play a 500 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 3: different role, like a supporting role or a passing role. 501 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 4: They perfect. 502 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Here we go, great spots something space down the short 503 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: side takes off and the three Spine members don't clock off. 504 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: They push, they support and ultimately touch the ball and 505 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: then upset in this tri for Leero. 506 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 2: There you go. 507 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: Well, that's a perfect example of what giuse. You're a 508 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: pretty smart Cooper. 509 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking as well. 510 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: That's a clear example and the great spines have the 511 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: ability to do that. But these guys haven't played a 512 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 3: lot of football together, have they, you know, first time 513 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: together with Munster and Walker, first time together Walker and Grant. 514 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: You know, Munster and Harry Grand have played a lot 515 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: of footy but and pong has been in and around 516 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: them a little bit. But gee, they've been impressive and 517 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 3: that will be the key again. Look at this Ponger stuff. 518 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 2: He's been outstanding for queens Break. 519 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: From Ponger and Grant and then look who touches the 520 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: ball next. Munster gets a ball here off Walker and 521 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: this is basically why Jack Bostok's been in the team 522 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: because he kicks to the back shoulder of Brian Toal 523 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: who can't jump first. And that is a damn good 524 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: take from Jojo for Feeder again, Harry Grant a bit 525 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: of space here from nothing clear on the inside, he 526 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: takes it and he sets up a try there for 527 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: Lindsey Colin. So yeah, I think that is the key 528 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: in this game. That Queensland's spine need to stay connected 529 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: and when one runs, the rest of them got to 530 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: file out. 531 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: They've done the first two games. 532 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 3: And that's probably a blueprint without sort of the Melbourne. 533 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 2: That's the milk. By the way, I'm installed, you can 534 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: do a little bit. Yeah, used to play that way. 535 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: You know someone went well, you just followed and must 536 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: make sure you were there supporting, which is basically what 537 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 3: Queensland are doing. And that's what the good Hearts do 538 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: is trail down the middle. But they have taken their 539 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 3: opportunities to Queensland, so they haven't sort of missed too 540 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 3: many opportunities to score tries because. 541 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: Of their support play. 542 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: They're always up pushing around the wall, which when you 543 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 3: do that, you give yourself a good chance to connect 544 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: and score points, which they've done before. 545 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: We sound like genuses and do our predictions. What to 546 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: give you One thing that New South Wales must do. 547 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: One thing Queensland must. 548 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: Do right for New South Wales. 549 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 3: I feel like Moses and Cleary they've got to combine 550 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: on the longer shifts more. I feel like they're not 551 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 3: sort of playing together as a six and seven. So 552 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 3: if they can combine more in more sort of good 553 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: ball areas or even out of the back in backfield, 554 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 3: I feel that's going to really hurt Queensland defensively. The 555 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: more those two can get together along with Teddy, so 556 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 3: the three of them in that spine working together, I 557 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 3: feel that could create some headaches. 558 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: I agree with that an attack in Queensland Harveslet we 559 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: show that vision before. 560 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 3: That's the blueprint there for both teams and for Queensland. 561 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: They've got to go after the game, you know. I 562 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: feel like we've got the home Queensland have the home 563 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: ground advantage. That means nothing when all the emotion is 564 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: taken out of the game and they run out. 565 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 2: Queensland must start the game well and play well. 566 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 567 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: I think that comes through in the first ten to 568 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of their line speed, their contact, their intensity. 569 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: They cannot just rely on sun Corp and the history 570 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: and whatever to get them over. 571 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: Been in that position before, it's is it easy or 572 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 3: hard to do that? 573 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 2: Remindset point of view? Is it well? 574 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: I think it comes back to the coaches getting that 575 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: balance between emotion and performance. 576 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 4: If there's one thing that I could relive like. 577 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: It would be running out on the suncourt for an 578 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: origin disorder, just the adrenaline rush. 579 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 4: It punches you in the face before you get to 580 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 4: it right. 581 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: But then you realize that the game needs to be 582 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: played and you still need to do all the physical 583 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: things that make it so. Queensland are already going to 584 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: have an advantage the fact that New south Wales under pressure, 585 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: they playing at sun Called, They're going to feel that 586 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: adrenaline rush and I feel like if Queensland get off 587 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: to a good start physically, the one thing that New 588 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: South Wales cannot do in this game is they cannot 589 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: get up behind on the scool. 590 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 2: I'd agree with that as well. 591 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 3: Something that New south Wales I think need to do, 592 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: or something that worries me, is that they don't use 593 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 3: their bench properly. Now it's it's hard as a coach 594 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 3: when you've got so many things going on in the game, 595 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 3: but you've got to You've got to have a plan 596 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: around every player if they get injured, if they get. 597 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: A h I a what's the shuffle look like? Who 598 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: goes on? Who comes off? 599 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 3: And you know New South Wales has got a really 600 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 3: good bench at queens don't have as well. But yeah, 601 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: I think New south Wales, if they don't use their 602 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: bench rotation and get that right, that could be a 603 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: big advantage for queens The Queen's the Queen's there
