1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Well, Coop, what do you think man, New so Wales 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: was bloody good? Oh good that. 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 2: I think we in our preview through the week we 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 2: sort of spoke about how, you know, we thought New 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 2: So wal was going to play. I think Queens they 6 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: knew how New South Wales were going to play. I 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: just think they just couldn't stop them. They were from 8 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: that first set like they just looked unbelievable. You generally, 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: in a first set of a Queen of an Origin game, 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: you see like the physicality and teams really struggle to 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: get out of the their half the first five minutes 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: a real grind yeap, whereas you just saw New South 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: Wales just. 14 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: Roll them so early. It was a real hint of 15 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: things to come because we dominated through yardage one of 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: the areas we did, and we spoke about this before. 17 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: Our outside backs are always so good in yardage, and 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: you know we said the ones who were going to 19 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: lead that were Edwards and Zach Lomax. Zach Lomax was 20 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: mighty and a heat of things that come and that 21 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: was the first set for New South Wales and a 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: couple of strong runs and all of a sudden, Zach 23 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Lomax took the ball, boom, run, little footwork and then 24 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: just drove through the line, made about twelve mooders, play 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: the ball fast. Then all of a sudden pain has 26 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: come on the back and we drove all the way 27 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: to half way, which is almost You don't see that. 28 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: You only see that very very occasionally in State of 29 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Origin football, almost never as far as first sets of concerned. 30 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: When you see that, you're usually as a kid, you 31 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: remember getting up and you go, I want to watch 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: the first hit off the kickoff. Yeah, because the first 33 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: set is so physical, blokes flying out. You just didn't 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: see that from Queensland that they wanted to. But Lomas 35 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: that second carry bumped Harry Grant and then went down 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 2: half went on the back of him. 37 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: Lomax destroyed their intent there, Like Queensland really they raced 38 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: down and that second tackle they got into him when 39 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Lomax took that ball and just sort of just punched 40 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: through the line. Yeah, it just took the wind out 41 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: of the defensive sales early on and just as it said, 42 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: destroyed the intent. They went to dominate through physicality and coops. 43 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: Evidence of when New South Waleses dominated yardage and controlled 44 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: the early exchanges. Is that in the first seven minutes 45 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: Nathan had two attacking kicks. Attacking kicks, and we've said 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: this before, are so important in big games. That's because 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: a lot of times that's where the majority of points 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: are going to come from. So if you can regularly 49 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: put your playmaker is a position for attacking kicks, you 50 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: are dominating the contest. 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: Particularly when look at last year's Grand Final for example, 52 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: people looked at it and went, what a boring game. 53 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: But a lot of the tries and a lot of 54 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: the dominate, Like a lot of the stuff where they 55 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: were dominating come from just rolling down field and only 56 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: having emphasis on their fifth tackle. You saw when you 57 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: well was dominated that first half, it was all from 58 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: their It was all from their fifth tackle kick game, 59 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: getting results from Nathan putting up for Zach Lomax. When 60 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: momentum eventually shifted, you saw that come from the opposite 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: and Dali Chevans putting up for Jeremiah and I and 62 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: getting results out of those attacking kicks. 63 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that again. A further hint of things 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: to come Cooper in the first ten minutes was the 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: fact that they gave clearly a lot of time Nathan 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: had a lot of time and space to it to 67 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: operate in early on and from there, as you know 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: as a playmaker, when your first few touches were really good, 69 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: you find rhythm. It was soon after actually he got 70 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: a ball and Harry really rasted him and Nathan come 71 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: up with an error. Now that's the way they should 72 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: have defended him early on, not let Nathan and Mitch 73 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: Moses find their natural rhythm. They just gave him too 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: much time. 75 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: Agree, I think they come off the back of how 76 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: dominant the pack work, though I think Payne Hass Lomacks 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: rarely did I see Hass on his back once, Like 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: every time Hass got the footy, it was a quick 79 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: play the ball. Same with Lomacs, saying with so, I 80 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: think it's a big rap to those three that allowed 81 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: those two to have some. 82 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: Time in that first ten minutes Lomax and has for 83 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: the best players on the field. Let's move into the 84 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: next phase of the game, that sort of period that 85 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: goes up to the twenty minute mark, and it was 86 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: here in this part of the match. I reckon Queensland 87 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: enjoyed their best period of dominance and they didn't assert 88 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: dominance through like we did through power running and punching 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: through a defense. They asserted dominance through ball movement. They 90 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: had a hell of success attacking news out down their 91 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: right side, attacking New South Wales left side defense. The 92 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: combination defensive combination of Latrell and Brian Tote, they just 93 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: are a little bit out of sink. You know, they 94 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: weren't defending as a combination, and you know one of 95 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: the one Latrolley come in a little too acute and 96 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: then you just seeing Brian sitting back a little bit. 97 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: They just went on the same page and that's where 98 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: you know queens and evidence again, let's come back to 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: what we said before about Nathan. Evidence that Queensland enjoyed 100 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: dominance in this period was two attacking kicks, asserting pressure 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: on us through two attacking kicks. And I thought through 102 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: this period in particular, I thought New South Wales played conservative. 103 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: I thought in that period we went into our shells 104 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. So in that period, Coup from that 105 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: ten to twenty minute period the best players in the field. 106 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: I thought DC was very very good during that period. 107 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: And I thought Rhys Robson for New South Wales Reece 108 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: Robson tonight was the most dangerous, dangerous I've seen him 109 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: as far as getting out of dummy hat ever. 110 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, you're real. He's a good runner, 111 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: but you don't see him get out like you see 112 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: Harry Grant get out and tow people onto the line. 113 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: He saw Reece Robson have a lot of luck. But 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: like you said, with how they shifted from sort of 115 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: going one out trying to get quick playaballs through their 116 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: wingers into shifting to try to get quick playaballs, I 117 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: think that was just a wrap to New South Wales defense. 118 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: I think they they could, they didn't look like they 119 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: could get out of their own end. I think Chas 120 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: and Munster, I think they just got together and said, 121 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: we need to start moving the ball because we're not 122 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: we're not doing anything, but we need to try to 123 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: make line breaks to get meters because we're just he's 124 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: kicking out of our own forty the whole time. 125 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they really struggled for yardages that next period, 126 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: that next tenanter period, you know, from twenty to thirty minutes, 127 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: were starting to push towards half time. Now we're starting 128 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: to get some really important moments. We score right at 129 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: that period the start of that period. We tried in 130 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: New South Wales and Zach Lomas scores the try right 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: in the right hand corner. But a tear where it started, 132 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: the pebble in the pond started with Mitch Moses. They 133 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: were going to go to the right. He overcalled down 134 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: a short sight from Ruth Robson, went to the line, 135 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: put Angars christ Crighten through and that that incision, that 136 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: momentum that created that space that ended up that that 137 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: was the reason why Lomax scooed in the far corner. 138 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: So that was just a nice little play there from 139 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: mich Moses. Mitch Moses didn't overplay his hand. He let 140 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Nathan run the show. But that was a really nice 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: little moment where Nathan's called the ball right and he's 142 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: got no I'm going to overcall this. I sent something 143 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: up the short side. 144 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: You know what your brother Andrew John said right at 145 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: the end of the game, Queensland spying looks dis connected, 146 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: where on our own New South Wales spine they work 147 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: so well together. You look at that passage to play, 148 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: Mitch Moses, Nathan Watson on the right, he overcalls, puts 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: Crichton through and it ends up being fifth tackle and 150 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: seeing how quick to play the ball is and how 151 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: disconnected the defensive line where for Queens and Nathan looks up, 152 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: finds Paying Hals, he gets an offload, he gets it 153 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: out to Edwards, Edwards finds Crichton like that spine, just 154 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: everyone on the same page and the connection there where 155 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 2: everyone goes hang on, it's fifth tackle. We probably should 156 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: be kicking, but look what's in front of us. Let's 157 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: just react to what's. 158 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: In front of us. Isn't Stephen Crichton good In those 159 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: instances where it's scrambling, the defense is scrambling, got the 160 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: ball they think happening left, right and center. Of these 161 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: people coming at him all over the place, he knows 162 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: somewhere there's the right option somewhere. He has to find 163 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: the pass or the dummy all the step or the 164 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: little kick that's kind of set up to try and 165 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: he just nearly always nails it. And that one you 166 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: just tore down the field and just per perfectly time 167 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: past the lomax to put him over, you know, and 168 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: further evidence to that, I mean, you think back to 169 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: that Grand Final where they'd be Brisbane and some of 170 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: the plays late in the game that Stephen Crichton come 171 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: up with vital plays. They've got penrith through. I don't 172 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: as far as outside backs, I haven't seen many outside 173 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: backs who can sum up the situation better than Stephen Crome. Yeah, 174 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and even you look at his opposite number, right, Hamisotabi, 175 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: Fido's was the fastest blokeout there on the field, so 176 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: he would have known himself. Crichton's not going to beat 177 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: me with speed, but in a lot of instances tonight 178 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: you saw him giving him time and space just because 179 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: how worried he is of his fan, of his step 180 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: you see. You don't often see that with Santa's who 181 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: A lot of senatas are scared of speed, so they 182 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: overchase and open up by that hamon As He's not 183 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: going to give. 184 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 2: For speed, but just the shear like a gitterly and 185 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: footy IQ. That and skilled that he's got where he's going. 186 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: He can beat me with footwork, he can beat me 187 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 2: with a fan, he can run over me, or he 188 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: can put a little kick in behind. 189 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: Just just makes him dangerous. Just got so much presence, 190 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: He's just so much presence. The next Queensland, New South 191 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: Wales try it come soon after. It was an era 192 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: coming into trouble from Queensland. And this is really this 193 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: is really important, Coops. And we said, coming into the game, 194 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: one of the things I was looking for from Nathan 195 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: Cleary is for him to run the football. We interviewed 196 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: Nathan in this room and we asked him the question. 197 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: I said, my hunch with you, Nathan is you find 198 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: your best football when you run the ball early. And 199 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I do. He said, but it's a discipline. 200 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: He can get into the mode of just passing past 201 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: you shoved on the ball sideways. Now he ran the book. 202 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: It's interesting the toe try which was a beauty. I 203 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: mean the hands of Latrell Mitchell, such a big man, 204 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: such velvet hands. It was an amazing pass. But Nathan 205 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: set this up. He set this up by the previous 206 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: two occasions he got the football, Coop. He ran the 207 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: ball and made small incisions into the line. Now straight 208 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: away he did that. Suddenly they're on notice. And the 209 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: best ballplayers of the that threaten with their run game. 210 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: That's what attracts the defenders, tracks the beast of the 211 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: hunting pot. And so run the ball next time, run 212 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: the ball. Third time he gets the ball, the time 213 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: he sets up the try coop, he feigns to run 214 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: and suddenly Queensland just squeeze in out the back to 215 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: Moses Mitchell, a beautiful pass to Latrell Mitchell and just 216 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Bush Bush straight to toe. 217 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: That was and the Queensland, the Queenslanders defense actually didn't 218 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: do that much wrong in that. When you watch the replay, 219 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: Cherry Cherry makes a decision to jam, probably a good 220 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: decision in the moment because they all got held up 221 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: by what Nathan did. 222 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: Yep. But you see at this level where. 223 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 2: You've got Nathan Cleary, Mitchell, Moses and Latrell Mitchell, three 224 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: of the most deadly attacking players. If you're a half 225 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: a second off at club Land, you probably get away 226 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: with it. They probably land any more force an error. 227 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: Yep. 228 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: But you see the skill of those three players. Like 229 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: Latrell's pass to Ice that had it literally barely touched 230 00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: his hands with the tap. 231 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: He was incredible, and you know you can get it. 232 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: You can get a short pass and sort of knock 233 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: it through the hands quickly, but to get a long 234 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: pass and be able to go bang bang when a 235 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: guy's going to whack you outside in. It's just incredible football. 236 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: In this period, that ten minute period from twenty to 237 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: thirty minute, the best two players on the field were 238 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary and Isaiah Yoe. Isaiah Yoe has been his 239 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: contribution to the wind has been I think or will 240 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: be understated. Yeah, Isaiah was so good because Isaiah he's 241 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: such a clever footballer. He had to look around that 242 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: team and he goes, Okay, I got too dominant, Harvesy, 243 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: I've got Nathan Clear and I got Mitchell Moses. They 244 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: don't need me to be a ballplayer. So all the 245 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: way through the game, particularly in that period, he's taken 246 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: it to the line, he's feigning to pass and then 247 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: just punching through most of the Mate, you go back 248 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: and watch Isaiao's performance, most of the time he carried 249 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: the ball of the line, he punched through. 250 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what you said that during the preview 251 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: on the week, that you would have actually started him 252 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: on the bench so that Nathan could get him his 253 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: running game early. Didn't fall into the trap of playing 254 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: out the back of Isaiaho that they've they've sometimes done 255 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: in the past. But Isaiah was outstanding out it just 256 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: he set up shape around himself with the intent to run, 257 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: just to create a one on one. And that's what 258 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 2: shapes are built for, you know. It shapes up built 259 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: for in a game to play out the back and 260 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: just go through and try to score in the corner 261 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: every time. Sometimes you can set a shape up, and 262 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: if you're a smart footballer, you can just set it 263 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: up so that you create a one on one, a 264 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: quick playable for yourself, which Yoe he did tonight. 265 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: Well, that's well. And that's the thing. You know, when 266 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: you talk to ballplayers about that, you say to him 267 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: sometimes even if you're even if you're a pure runner 268 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: and your ball playing is secondary, set up a shape 269 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: because they said before, when I said before that when 270 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: Nathan acted like he was going to run, their schools did. 271 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: When you set up a shape a flex and it 272 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: gives you an opportunity in ball runners to punch through, 273 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: use your footwork, show and go, et cetera, and so 274 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: on and so forth. Okay, Coop, this is really interesting. 275 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: This thing right the ten minutes before halftime where games 276 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: are won, Queensland kickoff right, and all the way in 277 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: the build up to the game, it was all about mate. Okay, 278 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: Spencer land New's going to get his The crowds up 279 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: for its. Spencer comes on, Spencer is standing in kick reception. 280 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: Off the kickoff, they can be they kick the other way. 281 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: They deliberately kicked the other way. And I kind of 282 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: get it in the fact that you don't want him 283 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: to get on motion and really charge off the back fence. 284 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: But I reckon that's a victory for Spencer. 285 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it would have been a powerful thing 286 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 2: for him to come on and the last plason you 287 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: want to kick too, they just kick it to him 288 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: and they get stuck into him. I think them not 289 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: doing that was a real lift to the pack, particularly Spencer. 290 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: But I think it was like I said earlier, I 291 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: think that was a testament to the work that Paynhas 292 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: and Lomax did early by really troubling Harry Gran and 293 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: the middle to make their one on mines. I think 294 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: they were a little bit like we just we want 295 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: to try to win, like they were. I think they 296 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: just looked at it a bit rattled through their middle 297 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: like they wanted to win the tackle camp because they 298 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 2: know when you're out there and you're not making good 299 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: contact as a player and a lot of the times 300 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: what you're thinking is is shit, I've lost the last 301 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: four of my tackles. I need to start winning it 302 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: because in video I'm going to get I'm going to 303 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: get pulled apart. I have no doubt that Billy in 304 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: the next camp will have them all in, show them 305 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: a lot of because they just lost so much of 306 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: their one on one tackles. There was a lot of 307 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: time like players finding their front, which you don't see, 308 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: particularly in the first twenty minutes of Origin. It was. 309 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: It was really surprising coop and of course the trope 310 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: for a half time. Yeah, a couple of big moments 311 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: for half time and again New South Wales try in 312 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: the right hand, right hand corner Lo Max again. 313 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah it was it was it was as yeah, yeah. 314 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,359 Speaker 1: It was Lo Max again. This time again Nathan, benefiting 315 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: from his run threat, goes to the line nicest trait 316 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: double pumps and with the the danger of Nathan running 317 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: and the danger of the double pump, Hemisode just couldn't 318 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: help himself. He just turns in. 319 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I think I believe it was 320 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: the play before that Isaiao again took a quick play 321 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: the ball got it got a real, real quick one. 322 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: And then when you actually look at that try, they 323 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: had enough numbers to defend it easy. I think whoever 324 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: was the back row I kind of got to Nathan 325 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: created so they all they had equal numbers. Just like 326 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: you said, just the threat of having a quick play 327 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: the ball, the good intent on shape, Nathan's run, threat, 328 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: nice double pump, it just had him nervous. I think 329 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: they were just they were just under the pump out there, 330 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: and then it was easy through the hands from Edwards 331 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: to Lomak. 332 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking at that period they just fought. Just on 333 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: half time and I thinking coastly can't get back into this. 334 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: Were so dominant, but then there's always something that happens. 335 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: And the final played for halftime, Dally puts again the 336 00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: benefit of an attacking kick over excuse me, and goes 337 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: up and of course and Brian grabs him and gets 338 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: ten minutes of the sin bin, and all of a sudden, 339 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: you know it's game on again. 340 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, big controversial. Obviously getting sinned in not a lot 341 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: in it, not a lot in it. But at the 342 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: end of the day, professional foul. He hits him when 343 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: he's in the air, good fair play, to Queens and 344 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: they got they ended up getting the two points. I'll 345 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: tell you right now if I mean, look, a lot 346 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: of shit's been put on the goalkickers, particularly Nathan and 347 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: Lomax towards the end of the game. It's all missed, 348 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: a couple of sitters. But geez, if you go into 349 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: that game at the end of there and it would 350 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: have been twenty to two if they kicked all their goals, 351 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: which is game over in Origin. If you go in 352 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: mentally and you're going twenty to two, down fourteen to 353 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: two and you know we only need two tries in 354 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: it's so mental you're not having to chase. 355 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: That scoreboard shows you the dominance of New South Wales. 356 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean, could have been twenty very well, could have 357 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: been twenty into two at half time. Yeah at sant 358 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: Corpse Stadium. 359 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like Linds, I can't remember the last time 360 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: you see that at half time in a state of origin, 361 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 2: Like that's so dominant. 362 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: Jesus what after halftime? That this is the ten minutes 363 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: half to halftime is a horror period for New South 364 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: Wales because we've got twelve men left half time. When 365 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: you've got twelve men, you need to be squeaky clean. 366 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: You've got to complete your set. You've got to complete 367 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: your sets. You drive the ball to touch, you walk down, 368 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: you don't let the opposition get into a rhythm and 369 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: you slow the tempo of the game. But we just 370 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean, we start the second half with the second 371 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: seven tackles set from Mitch and this will lead eventually 372 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: to the queens Land, to the Queensland. Try it first, 373 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: queens lande In New South Wales, they just keep coming 374 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: up with error. 375 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: It's the error after what you said, like the way 376 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: they played that first twenty minutes was perfect New South 377 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: Wales in the first half. That was that it is 378 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: such a good sort of case study for other teams 379 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: to go this is how we want to play our footy. 380 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: That first twenty minutes when they were down to twelve 381 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: was possibly the complete polar opposite. Like you said, seven tackles, 382 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: they defend a couple sets. They do a good job 383 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 2: with twelve. First tackle Lomax drops it, yes, and then 384 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: they go to a scrum where they end up picking 385 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: up Valentine Holmes and dragging him over the sideline. You think, geez, 386 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: they're not going to score here. Next tackle, first tackle 387 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: Jeremiah and I flies out of the line and puts 388 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: a shot on the trail who drops it? Which they 389 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: go offload, offload and Xavier. 390 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: Coach scores on the right hand corner. 391 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: Like everything that could have gone wrong for you so 392 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: well is that it did. 393 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: At that point, I'm thinking to myself, man, I mean, 394 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: we've let them back into the game. But they've got 395 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, the crowd of come back into the game. 396 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: You know, they've got momentum. I'm thinking of himself, Well, 397 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: here we go. They've allowed them to get back in. 398 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: And as you know, when you're loading fourteen two and 399 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: you've got complete dominance. Excuse me, that's all right, and 400 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: you've got complete dominance, what happens is all of a sudden, 401 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: the opposition score and they're back end of the game. 402 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: My god, that's a momentum swing, and it's so hard 403 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: to arrest that momentum, to get that momentum back, to. 404 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 2: Wrestle it back, particularly when you've got twelve. 405 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: For another. 406 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 2: I think they slid another five minutes with twelve, and 407 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: you like you're under the pump and you've got the 408 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: spine of munster. Cherry Evans Grant and Ponga who were 409 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 2: starting to catch fire, but they really didn't Queensland really 410 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: didn't grab that chance. After that, they didn't. 411 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: Really do a lot with the twelve. 412 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with the particularly first half when you 413 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: saw some of the expansive footy out of their own. 414 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 2: They were shifting it, shifting it, and then they went 415 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: to twelve. It was like they didn't want to It's 416 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: like they didn't want to make errors, so they kind 417 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: of just tried to play more through the middle when 418 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: that was probably when they should have shifted a lot more. 419 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: It was interesting about the second half of their Coinsians 420 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: attack Coups was that in the first half they were 421 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: having so much, so much success going to their right 422 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: against Latrell and Brian, and she said they would disconnected. 423 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: They just couldn't get their decision making right. Second half 424 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: they barely go there at all. It's in the second 425 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: half they always just attack to their left. And I've 426 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: got no doubt and we said this before before the game. 427 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: Leading up to the game, Billy loves to attack Zach Lomax. 428 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: In Billy's mind, he sees that Zach Lomax puts so 429 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: much effort and energy into his attack and his yardage. 430 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: That can leave him vulnerable in defense. And sometimes he 431 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: does clock off, sometimes he disconnects himself from from from 432 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: his center. But the big benefit for Lomax Coops was 433 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that he was alongside Stephen Crichton. There are a few 434 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: times in that second half the Coisler had an opportunity. 435 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: If it had been a lesser defensive center, they probably 436 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: would discovered. But Crichton his defensive decisions, and I've got 437 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: no doubt he would have been just yapping and yappen 438 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: and yappen to Lomax Cooper and Lomac's honest in defense, 439 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: and so Coislan kept getting there. But they'll get no result. 440 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: And you look on that. 441 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: Side of Crichton and Lomacs. I had a theory of watching. 442 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: I've had this theory for a while. 443 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: But Hamaso taboo feedo at left center right, if you 444 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: have a they created a couple opportunities there where Hamma 445 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: just got on the outside of Critter and I looked 446 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: under pressure having a center inside you who's an out 447 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: and out speed stuff In Valentine Holmes with his wing 448 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: was his winger. There was a couple of times there 449 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 2: where they probably could have caught us out, but Hammer's 450 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: speed was actually too quick for Valentine Holmes and he 451 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: kind of dropped back a little bit, was forced to 452 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: drop off back underneath, which allowed New South Wales to 453 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: go man on and Zach Lomax to come in and 454 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: just tackle him. 455 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: And it was it was it was the inside pressure 456 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: he was getting also from from Krichton crighton getting up 457 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 1: and pushing him from the inside. He just couldn't get 458 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: the angle to straighten into that gap that Billy was 459 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: after in between Crichton and Lomacs with his Lomax speed 460 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: was slightly disconnected. But let's see what coop in this period. 461 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: In the second half, there was a lot of attack 462 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: from New South Wales and I thought was really poor. 463 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 1: I thought they went into there. I thought that were 464 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: just too conservative of the second half and evidence of 465 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: that certainly New South Wales will getting a lot of 466 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: joy from just playing nice and straight, you know, with 467 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: those short, short ball or sweep options, peeling Coeensland short 468 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: in the second half for a lot for a decent 469 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: period in the second half, lots of inside balls drifting across, 470 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: picking them up on the inside, and I can understeer. 471 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: What they're trying to do, they're trying to fatigue coinsland 472 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: and they'll try to consolidate possession. But I just found 473 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: it really ineffective, you know, and I just thought in 474 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: the first half their attacking shapes were a lot better. 475 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a bit of that Penrith the 476 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 2: bit of Penrith ball they do. Penrith like to drop 477 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 2: people off, come back through the inside, and really wear 478 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: a middle out. I think under fatigue they sort of 479 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: fell back into that pattern in the second half, probably 480 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: went away from their game plan a little bit, which 481 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 2: I think. You know, it obviously ended up working for them, 482 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: but I think if that mold that they had in 483 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 2: the first half with their attack where they didn't really 484 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 2: they weren't really doing a lot of that drop off stuff. 485 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: They were just charging down the middle with their rucks 486 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: and then look when they got to quick play the ball, 487 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: get on the ad line and try to find an edge. 488 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: Well, Cooper even like that, even if they wanted to 489 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: play a lot more simple, it's go forward, drive them back, 490 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: play the ball quick, get the ball to a Nathan 491 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: or Isa or a Mitchell Moses and just challenge them 492 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: with his spoed and footwork just going them. You know. 493 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: That was I thought that would have been more effective 494 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: than drifting and dropping underneath, because in fact it really 495 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: congested the middle of the field for New South Wales 496 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: attack twenty minutes to go Coop. There's a really pivotal moment. 497 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: Queensland are on attack and they've got a chance to 498 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: make it a really big finish fourteen six. But they 499 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: get the ball. It's a really really poor set. They 500 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: gues sort of here and there, they do anything, and 501 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: then Monster puts in a kick along the ground, a 502 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: grubber Zach Lomax diffuses it and then draws a penalty. 503 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Queensland never looked likely again, Yeah, I think that was 504 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: the Yeah, they looked. 505 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 2: They did look very lost when they got down attack 506 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: on the tryline, which was weird. They're very usually very structured. 507 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: They did look a bit disjointed. I reckon a lot 508 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 2: of that come from fatigue from the first half. When 509 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 2: you're fatigued, you do a lot of work in the 510 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: first half, your communication kind of goes out the window. 511 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, that, like you said, Lomax's reading that kick 512 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 2: and saving that try because the hammer was coming through 513 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: at a lot of pace. 514 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: I thought Coops, I thought Monster he needed to run 515 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: the ball a lot more than he did. I can 516 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: understand his forwards didn't quite get dominance, but that's never 517 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: stopped him before, and he's so unorthodox. I thought he 518 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: just couldn't find his game. Yeah, tonight, and you know, 519 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: if Monster's running the football and then you know he's 520 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: punching through and all of a sudden you got tail 521 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: and getting on the back of that daily doing his things, 522 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, Harry jumping down and done me off, all 523 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: those things. You know, Monster is the one that actually 524 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: could have kick started the yardage if that's well in 525 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: attack anyway, He's the one that could have got the quick, 526 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: played the ball and made things happen. 527 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean it's easy for us to say 528 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: that because we've seen him do it so many times 529 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: before at the Origin level. You know that twenty twenty 530 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 2: series when he basically put the team on his back 531 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: and just did some spectacle. It had some great moments. 532 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I think tonight he's you know, 533 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 2: obviously he's pack got dominated and New South Wales were 534 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: just had him under the pump for half an hour straight. 535 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 2: So we probably didn't see the monster that we are 536 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: used to seeing at that level. 537 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: I think there was a couple of. 538 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: Nice moments from him, but you know, he never really 539 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: looked likely to make it. A few line breaks and 540 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: stuff like that, and. 541 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: New South while school a final final try with ice 542 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: is the game guess what to come off kick? Nathan 543 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: Attacker attacking kickbacks, takes the ball eventually lose of Connor 544 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: Watson try. 545 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: Connor Watson didn't score it. Actually, Connor Watson had probably 546 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: the offload of the year. He was basically was nearly 547 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: held out and he just popped it up like a 548 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: little rugby union pop. And Dylan Edwards scored. Mage maguire 549 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: ye Image McGuire look alike. 550 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, h Cooper, New South Wales best. What do you 551 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: think of me? 552 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: I mean the best? For me? It was a It 553 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: was a flipper coin just from what they did the 554 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: first half an hour, halfs and Lomax. I ended up 555 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: going Lomax just because hears went off. I think it 556 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: has stayed out there, which he probably could have. 557 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: He edges it, but. 558 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: Zach Lomax what he did out of yardage and then 559 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: just he just chased every one of Nathan's kicks. I 560 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: mean it kicks only as good as it's Chase and 561 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: Lomax was outstanding on Kickchase. 562 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: Hayt has got Man of the match on the on 563 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: the on the coverage. Can't disagree with that. He was mighty. 564 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: I thought Mitch Barnett was great. I thought Mitch Barnett 565 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: made like you know, sometimes we picks in the past 566 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: have picked teams on what they can do more with 567 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: the football than character and toughness. That made sense and 568 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: I think that's what he's got tons of made. He 569 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: was really physical, really got into him. A lot of 570 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: the stuff you just don't see. Matter two was bloody 571 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: good to Liam Bart was mighty. That's his best performance 572 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. 573 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: Look, I'm going through the team in my head and 574 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: there wasn't a bloke out there who was under a 575 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 2: six or a seven, you know as a rating. When 576 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: you got a team that's everyone's sort of playing at 577 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 2: a seven or above consistently, Like, how did we we 578 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: were bound to win the football? Mate Max King, who 579 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 2: come off the bench as well. It's really good King. 580 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: He played big minutes and he did an outstanding job. 581 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: I think I think there was a one to seventeen effort. 582 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Everyone did a real good job. 583 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: Who was your best? 584 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: The zak Lomax zak Lomac's I think Cleary combination was very, 585 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: very dangerous all night as attacking kicks exactly always come 586 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: up with him just quickly before we give our three 587 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: two one Queensland's best. I thought it was either it 588 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: was Nanni. 589 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I had Nana as well, just based 590 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: on the big moments he had which changed the game, 591 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: which gave him an opportunity to change the game that 592 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: the Trell Mitchell hit and then he come up with 593 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: about three big plays on Chase where they got repeat 594 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 2: sets off it. 595 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: But I thought Cherry Evans was really strong. To it 596 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: was Tina. I thought Tina was good. 597 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: Tino was good. 598 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: When isn't he good? 599 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: Oh? 600 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: Mate, the big fella they needed. They missed him last year. Okay, Coop, 601 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: you won two and three points for the whole game. 602 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, so one one point for me actually went to Nanai, 603 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: just based on he got them back into that game. 604 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 2: Two points for me he was paying hals and three points. 605 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 2: I just said it before Zach Lomacs. Just effort all overground. 606 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: I've got one point, Isaiah slightly ahead of Mitch Bunnett 607 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: and Liam Martin two points. Zach Zach Lomac's paying hass 608 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: for me gets the three points. Looking forward, Cooper tea 609 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: men big win. As I said before next game, Game 610 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: two is in Perth. Yeah, that all really certain. New 611 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: South Wales it's a fast track. It's a dry track, 612 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: you know. It's it's a track where when you look 613 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: at games that have been played there, they've been high 614 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: scoring games. Newcastle, Newcastle, New Southwall. I really able to 615 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: push the ball around and get even give give Latrell 616 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: and Stephen Crichton even more opportunity. 617 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: Do you see changes, first of all with New South Wales? 618 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 2: Do you see any changes? Like there was a lot 619 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: of There was a couple of injuries to people who 620 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: were on the bench who ended up coming in. 621 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: I can't. I don't see any force. I can't. I 622 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: can't see an injury. 623 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't see anyone getting taken out. Queensland's the 624 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: big talking point they were talking a lot of. Cameron 625 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: Smith had a lot to say about you know, do 626 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: they potentially look to did and into the starting line 627 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: to mix it up with their spine They didn't like 628 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: the spine. Weren't on tonight together. They all had their 629 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: nice little moments, but they disconnected. 630 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Harry he split his head. Did he get injured because 631 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: he went off? You went back on? 632 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: He went off and did and went into nine and 633 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: then he come back on the last fifteen, so he 634 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: was all right. 635 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think they could could have used did 636 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: bet up Billy. I would have used did as a 637 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: running thirteen. Yeah. I think they letting go. 638 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: I think they had to give Harry a spell just 639 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: from the amount of work that because we were saying 640 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: it during the game, they really found him a lot 641 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: of one on one like they were really trying to 642 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: work him over. Obviously he's so effective in attack, and 643 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: by making him do so much work in defense, you 644 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: take his a lot of his running game out of it. 645 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: I think they had to give him a spell there, 646 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: just didn't potentially they were talking about didn't potentially coming 647 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: into the halves. 648 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: Is that a chance? D reckon, What do you replace 649 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: your Dce and Munster? You know, I don't see those 650 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: blokes being replaced. I mean, if did was to replace 651 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: Dali Tree even so, you would imagine almost drawl the 652 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: curtain on his Origin career. I don't think they'll do that. 653 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll let Daily play the series as 654 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: I said I would, I'd keep diading on the bench, 655 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: but I would put him on in the thirteen role. Yeah, 656 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: put him on after about twenty five minutes, get him going, 657 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: keeps breaky radio on the water. I think it's to 658 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: get a bit of sleep. Huh. 659 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: It's no sleep for me, Broster state of Origin. I 660 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 2: don't sleep. I just sit there in my bed like 661 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: Count Dracula in my little coffin, and I just sit 662 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: there just thinking about stuff.
