WEBVTT - ORIGIN I REACTION! 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.280 Well, Coop, what do you think man, New so Wales 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:04.640 was bloody good? Oh good that. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:06.800 I think we in our preview through the week we 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.239 sort of spoke about how, you know, we thought New 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.159 So wal was going to play. I think Queens they 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.440 knew how New South Wales were going to play. I 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.400 just think they just couldn't stop them. They were from 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.680 that first set like they just looked unbelievable. You generally, 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.360 in a first set of a Queen of an Origin game, 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:29.720 you see like the physicality and teams really struggle to 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.880 get out of the their half the first five minutes 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.480 a real grind yeap, whereas you just saw New South 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:35.120 Wales just. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.279 Roll them so early. It was a real hint of 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.960 things to come because we dominated through yardage one of 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.159 the areas we did, and we spoke about this before. 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.320 Our outside backs are always so good in yardage, and 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.440 you know we said the ones who were going to 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.360 lead that were Edwards and Zach Lomax. Zach Lomax was 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.519 mighty and a heat of things that come and that 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.760 was the first set for New South Wales and a 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.440 couple of strong runs and all of a sudden, Zach 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.840 Lomax took the ball, boom, run, little footwork and then 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.640 just drove through the line, made about twelve mooders, play 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.800 the ball fast. Then all of a sudden pain has 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.600 come on the back and we drove all the way 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.400 to half way, which is almost You don't see that. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.280 You only see that very very occasionally in State of 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.760 Origin football, almost never as far as first sets of concerned. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.679 When you see that, you're usually as a kid, you 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.480 remember getting up and you go, I want to watch 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.560 the first hit off the kickoff. Yeah, because the first 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.280 set is so physical, blokes flying out. You just didn't 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.479 see that from Queensland that they wanted to. But Lomas 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.840 that second carry bumped Harry Grant and then went down 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.040 half went on the back of him. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.559 Lomax destroyed their intent there, Like Queensland really they raced 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.720 down and that second tackle they got into him when 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.280 Lomax took that ball and just sort of just punched 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.920 through the line. Yeah, it just took the wind out 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.800 of the defensive sales early on and just as it said, 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.600 destroyed the intent. They went to dominate through physicality and coops. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.800 Evidence of when New South Waleses dominated yardage and controlled 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.720 the early exchanges. Is that in the first seven minutes 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.239 Nathan had two attacking kicks. Attacking kicks, and we've said 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.560 this before, are so important in big games. That's because 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.480 a lot of times that's where the majority of points 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.400 are going to come from. So if you can regularly 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:22.200 put your playmaker is a position for attacking kicks, you 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.519 are dominating the contest. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.480 Particularly when look at last year's Grand Final for example, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.600 people looked at it and went, what a boring game. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.000 But a lot of the tries and a lot of 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.760 the dominate, Like a lot of the stuff where they 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.680 were dominating come from just rolling down field and only 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.640 having emphasis on their fifth tackle. You saw when you 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.400 well was dominated that first half, it was all from 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.400 their It was all from their fifth tackle kick game, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.760 getting results from Nathan putting up for Zach Lomax. When 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.320 momentum eventually shifted, you saw that come from the opposite 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 and Dali Chevans putting up for Jeremiah and I and 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.600 getting results out of those attacking kicks. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.000 Yeah, I thought that again. A further hint of things 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.040 to come Cooper in the first ten minutes was the 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.080 fact that they gave clearly a lot of time Nathan 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.560 had a lot of time and space to it to 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.080 operate in early on and from there, as you know 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.040 as a playmaker, when your first few touches were really good, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:18.280 you find rhythm. It was soon after actually he got 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.600 a ball and Harry really rasted him and Nathan come 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.680 up with an error. Now that's the way they should 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.480 have defended him early on, not let Nathan and Mitch 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.560 Moses find their natural rhythm. They just gave him too 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.080 much time. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.160 Agree, I think they come off the back of how 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.480 dominant the pack work, though I think Payne Hass Lomacks 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.880 rarely did I see Hass on his back once, Like 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.920 every time Hass got the footy, it was a quick 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.400 play the ball. Same with Lomacs, saying with so, I 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.600 think it's a big rap to those three that allowed 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:52.320 those two to have some. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.320 Time in that first ten minutes Lomax and has for 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.000 the best players on the field. Let's move into the 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.560 next phase of the game, that sort of period that 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.400 goes up to the twenty minute mark, and it was 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.400 here in this part of the match. I reckon Queensland 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.800 enjoyed their best period of dominance and they didn't assert 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.800 dominance through like we did through power running and punching 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.680 through a defense. They asserted dominance through ball movement. They 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.400 had a hell of success attacking news out down their 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.200 right side, attacking New South Wales left side defense. The 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.040 combination defensive combination of Latrell and Brian Tote, they just 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.320 are a little bit out of sink. You know, they 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.560 weren't defending as a combination, and you know one of 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.560 the one Latrolley come in a little too acute and 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.520 then you just seeing Brian sitting back a little bit. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.479 They just went on the same page and that's where 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.240 you know queens and evidence again, let's come back to 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.640 what we said before about Nathan. Evidence that Queensland enjoyed 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:54.960 dominance in this period was two attacking kicks, asserting pressure 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.520 on us through two attacking kicks. And I thought through 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:03.040 this period in particular, I thought New South Wales played conservative. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.520 I thought in that period we went into our shells 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.880 a little bit. So in that period, Coup from that 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.760 ten to twenty minute period the best players in the field. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.400 I thought DC was very very good during that period. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.520 And I thought Rhys Robson for New South Wales Reece 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.800 Robson tonight was the most dangerous, dangerous I've seen him 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:22.680 as far as getting out of dummy hat ever. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.760 Yeah, yeah, you know, you're real. He's a good runner, 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.560 but you don't see him get out like you see 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.520 Harry Grant get out and tow people onto the line. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.400 He saw Reece Robson have a lot of luck. But 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.080 like you said, with how they shifted from sort of 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.760 going one out trying to get quick playaballs through their 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.680 wingers into shifting to try to get quick playaballs, I 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.040 think that was just a wrap to New South Wales defense. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.640 I think they they could, they didn't look like they 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.240 could get out of their own end. I think Chas 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.560 and Munster, I think they just got together and said, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.760 we need to start moving the ball because we're not 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.919 we're not doing anything, but we need to try to 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.040 make line breaks to get meters because we're just he's 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.720 kicking out of our own forty the whole time. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.600 Yeah. Yeah, they really struggled for yardages that next period, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.240 that next tenanter period, you know, from twenty to thirty minutes, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.320 were starting to push towards half time. Now we're starting 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.120 to get some really important moments. We score right at 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.600 that period the start of that period. We tried in 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:19.720 New South Wales and Zach Lomas scores the try right 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.960 in the right hand corner. But a tear where it started, 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.840 the pebble in the pond started with Mitch Moses. They 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.600 were going to go to the right. He overcalled down 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.599 a short sight from Ruth Robson, went to the line, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:36.720 put Angars christ Crighten through and that that incision, that 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.400 momentum that created that space that ended up that that 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.480 was the reason why Lomax scooed in the far corner. 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.040 So that was just a nice little play there from 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.160 mich Moses. Mitch Moses didn't overplay his hand. He let 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.440 Nathan run the show. But that was a really nice 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.440 little moment where Nathan's called the ball right and he's 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.200 got no I'm going to overcall this. I sent something 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:54.960 up the short side. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.040 You know what your brother Andrew John said right at 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.479 the end of the game, Queensland spying looks dis connected, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.440 where on our own New South Wales spine they work 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.400 so well together. You look at that passage to play, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.520 Mitch Moses, Nathan Watson on the right, he overcalls, puts 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.320 Crichton through and it ends up being fifth tackle and 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.360 seeing how quick to play the ball is and how 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.520 disconnected the defensive line where for Queens and Nathan looks up, 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.640 finds Paying Hals, he gets an offload, he gets it 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.280 out to Edwards, Edwards finds Crichton like that spine, just 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.920 everyone on the same page and the connection there where 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.679 everyone goes hang on, it's fifth tackle. We probably should 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.640 be kicking, but look what's in front of us. Let's 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:34.560 just react to what's. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.480 In front of us. Isn't Stephen Crichton good In those 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.880 instances where it's scrambling, the defense is scrambling, got the 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.680 ball they think happening left, right and center. Of these 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.440 people coming at him all over the place, he knows 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.720 somewhere there's the right option somewhere. He has to find 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.040 the pass or the dummy all the step or the 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.720 little kick that's kind of set up to try and 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.480 he just nearly always nails it. And that one you 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.960 just tore down the field and just per perfectly time 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.240 past the lomax to put him over, you know, and 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.960 further evidence to that, I mean, you think back to 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.280 that Grand Final where they'd be Brisbane and some of 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.040 the plays late in the game that Stephen Crichton come 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.800 up with vital plays. They've got penrith through. I don't 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.600 as far as outside backs, I haven't seen many outside 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.520 backs who can sum up the situation better than Stephen Crome. Yeah, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.880 and even you look at his opposite number, right, Hamisotabi, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.240 Fido's was the fastest blokeout there on the field, so 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.680 he would have known himself. Crichton's not going to beat 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.320 me with speed, but in a lot of instances tonight 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.400 you saw him giving him time and space just because 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.760 how worried he is of his fan, of his step 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.480 you see. You don't often see that with Santa's who 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.160 A lot of senatas are scared of speed, so they 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.760 overchase and open up by that hamon As He's not 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.240 going to give. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.599 For speed, but just the shear like a gitterly and 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.319 footy IQ. That and skilled that he's got where he's going. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.240 He can beat me with footwork, he can beat me 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.679 with a fan, he can run over me, or he 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:57.920 can put a little kick in behind. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.520 Just just makes him dangerous. Just got so much presence, 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.560 He's just so much presence. The next Queensland, New South 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.079 Wales try it come soon after. It was an era 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.800 coming into trouble from Queensland. And this is really this 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.360 is really important, Coops. And we said, coming into the game, 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.679 one of the things I was looking for from Nathan 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.200 Cleary is for him to run the football. We interviewed 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.840 Nathan in this room and we asked him the question. 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.640 I said, my hunch with you, Nathan is you find 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.960 your best football when you run the ball early. And 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.240 he said, yeah, I do. He said, but it's a discipline. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.000 He can get into the mode of just passing past 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.440 you shoved on the ball sideways. Now he ran the book. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.760 It's interesting the toe try which was a beauty. I 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.160 mean the hands of Latrell Mitchell, such a big man, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.160 such velvet hands. It was an amazing pass. But Nathan 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.480 set this up. He set this up by the previous 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.040 two occasions he got the football, Coop. He ran the 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.199 ball and made small incisions into the line. Now straight 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.640 away he did that. Suddenly they're on notice. And the 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.440 best ballplayers of the that threaten with their run game. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.480 That's what attracts the defenders, tracks the beast of the 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.959 hunting pot. And so run the ball next time, run 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.720 the ball. Third time he gets the ball, the time 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.760 he sets up the try coop, he feigns to run 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.880 and suddenly Queensland just squeeze in out the back to 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:23.000 Moses Mitchell, a beautiful pass to Latrell Mitchell and just 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.920 Bush Bush straight to toe. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.160 That was and the Queensland, the Queenslanders defense actually didn't 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.360 do that much wrong in that. When you watch the replay, 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.600 Cherry Cherry makes a decision to jam, probably a good 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.400 decision in the moment because they all got held up 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:38.360 by what Nathan did. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.960 Yep. But you see at this level where. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.719 You've got Nathan Cleary, Mitchell, Moses and Latrell Mitchell, three 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.560 of the most deadly attacking players. If you're a half 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.880 a second off at club Land, you probably get away 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.880 with it. They probably land any more force an error. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:52.200 Yep. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.080 But you see the skill of those three players. Like 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.959 Latrell's pass to Ice that had it literally barely touched 0:10:58.960 --> 0:10:59.840 his hands with the tap. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.240 He was incredible, and you know you can get it. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.680 You can get a short pass and sort of knock 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.640 it through the hands quickly, but to get a long 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.400 pass and be able to go bang bang when a 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.320 guy's going to whack you outside in. It's just incredible football. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.800 In this period, that ten minute period from twenty to 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.920 thirty minute, the best two players on the field were 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.880 Nathan Cleary and Isaiah Yoe. Isaiah Yoe has been his 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.240 contribution to the wind has been I think or will 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.960 be understated. Yeah, Isaiah was so good because Isaiah he's 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.720 such a clever footballer. He had to look around that 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.880 team and he goes, Okay, I got too dominant, Harvesy, 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.079 I've got Nathan Clear and I got Mitchell Moses. They 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.120 don't need me to be a ballplayer. So all the 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.679 way through the game, particularly in that period, he's taken 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.120 it to the line, he's feigning to pass and then 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.240 just punching through most of the Mate, you go back 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.120 and watch Isaiao's performance, most of the time he carried 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.760 the ball of the line, he punched through. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.120 Yeah, and that's what you said that during the preview 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.679 on the week, that you would have actually started him 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.880 on the bench so that Nathan could get him his 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.240 running game early. Didn't fall into the trap of playing 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.560 out the back of Isaiaho that they've they've sometimes done 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.800 in the past. But Isaiah was outstanding out it just 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.520 he set up shape around himself with the intent to run, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.360 just to create a one on one. And that's what 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.680 shapes are built for, you know. It shapes up built 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.640 for in a game to play out the back and 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.320 just go through and try to score in the corner 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.280 every time. Sometimes you can set a shape up, and 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.280 if you're a smart footballer, you can just set it 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.880 up so that you create a one on one, a 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.840 quick playable for yourself, which Yoe he did tonight. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.920 Well, that's well. And that's the thing. You know, when 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.880 you talk to ballplayers about that, you say to him 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.200 sometimes even if you're even if you're a pure runner 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.680 and your ball playing is secondary, set up a shape 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.120 because they said before, when I said before that when 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.160 Nathan acted like he was going to run, their schools did. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.640 When you set up a shape a flex and it 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.400 gives you an opportunity in ball runners to punch through, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.920 use your footwork, show and go, et cetera, and so 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.880 on and so forth. Okay, Coop, this is really interesting. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.959 This thing right the ten minutes before halftime where games 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:11.040 are won, Queensland kickoff right, and all the way in 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.880 the build up to the game, it was all about mate. Okay, 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.880 Spencer land New's going to get his The crowds up 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.720 for its. Spencer comes on, Spencer is standing in kick reception. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.240 Off the kickoff, they can be they kick the other way. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.480 They deliberately kicked the other way. And I kind of 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.560 get it in the fact that you don't want him 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.720 to get on motion and really charge off the back fence. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.720 But I reckon that's a victory for Spencer. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.920 Yeah, I think it would have been a powerful thing 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.599 for him to come on and the last plason you 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.440 want to kick too, they just kick it to him 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.480 and they get stuck into him. I think them not 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.120 doing that was a real lift to the pack, particularly Spencer. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.760 But I think it was like I said earlier, I 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.960 think that was a testament to the work that Paynhas 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.760 and Lomax did early by really troubling Harry Gran and 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.160 the middle to make their one on mines. I think 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.559 they were a little bit like we just we want 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.520 to try to win, like they were. I think they 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.240 just looked at it a bit rattled through their middle 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.680 like they wanted to win the tackle camp because they 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.719 know when you're out there and you're not making good 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.680 contact as a player and a lot of the times 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.080 what you're thinking is is shit, I've lost the last 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.760 four of my tackles. I need to start winning it 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.920 because in video I'm going to get I'm going to 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.080 get pulled apart. I have no doubt that Billy in 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.880 the next camp will have them all in, show them 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.000 a lot of because they just lost so much of 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.680 their one on one tackles. There was a lot of 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.320 time like players finding their front, which you don't see, 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.440 particularly in the first twenty minutes of Origin. It was. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.360 It was really surprising coop and of course the trope 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.320 for a half time. Yeah, a couple of big moments 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.200 for half time and again New South Wales try in 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.480 the right hand, right hand corner Lo Max again. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.680 Yeah it was it was it was as yeah, yeah. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.359 It was Lo Max again. This time again Nathan, benefiting 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.760 from his run threat, goes to the line nicest trait 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:01.360 double pumps and with the the danger of Nathan running 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.600 and the danger of the double pump, Hemisode just couldn't 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:06.680 help himself. He just turns in. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.880 Yeah, but you know, I think I believe it was 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.160 the play before that Isaiao again took a quick play 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.480 the ball got it got a real, real quick one. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.160 And then when you actually look at that try, they 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.600 had enough numbers to defend it easy. I think whoever 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.760 was the back row I kind of got to Nathan 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.680 created so they all they had equal numbers. Just like 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.840 you said, just the threat of having a quick play 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.600 the ball, the good intent on shape, Nathan's run, threat, 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.040 nice double pump, it just had him nervous. I think 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.600 they were just they were just under the pump out there, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.360 and then it was easy through the hands from Edwards 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:41.920 to Lomak. 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.880 I'm looking at that period they just fought. Just on 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.280 half time and I thinking coastly can't get back into this. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.280 Were so dominant, but then there's always something that happens. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.320 And the final played for halftime, Dally puts again the 0:15:53.400 --> 0:16:00.960 benefit of an attacking kick over excuse me, and goes 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.600 up and of course and Brian grabs him and gets 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.440 ten minutes of the sin bin, and all of a sudden, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.480 you know it's game on again. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.080 Yeah, big controversial. Obviously getting sinned in not a lot 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.200 in it, not a lot in it. But at the 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.120 end of the day, professional foul. He hits him when 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.560 he's in the air, good fair play, to Queens and 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.040 they got they ended up getting the two points. I'll 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.320 tell you right now if I mean, look, a lot 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.280 of shit's been put on the goalkickers, particularly Nathan and 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.680 Lomax towards the end of the game. It's all missed, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.640 a couple of sitters. But geez, if you go into 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.920 that game at the end of there and it would 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.400 have been twenty to two if they kicked all their goals, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.840 which is game over in Origin. If you go in 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.200 mentally and you're going twenty to two, down fourteen to 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.280 two and you know we only need two tries in 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.720 it's so mental you're not having to chase. 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.520 That scoreboard shows you the dominance of New South Wales. 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.560 I mean, could have been twenty very well, could have 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.640 been twenty into two at half time. Yeah at sant 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.320 Corpse Stadium. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.880 Oh yeah, like Linds, I can't remember the last time 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.639 you see that at half time in a state of origin, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.440 Like that's so dominant. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.800 Jesus what after halftime? That this is the ten minutes 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.960 half to halftime is a horror period for New South 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.840 Wales because we've got twelve men left half time. When 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.280 you've got twelve men, you need to be squeaky clean. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.679 You've got to complete your set. You've got to complete 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.920 your sets. You drive the ball to touch, you walk down, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.480 you don't let the opposition get into a rhythm and 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.480 you slow the tempo of the game. But we just 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.680 I mean, we start the second half with the second 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.160 seven tackles set from Mitch and this will lead eventually 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.040 to the queens Land, to the Queensland. Try it first, 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.240 queens lande In New South Wales, they just keep coming 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:47.280 up with error. 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.480 It's the error after what you said, like the way 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.840 they played that first twenty minutes was perfect New South 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.560 Wales in the first half. That was that it is 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.520 such a good sort of case study for other teams 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.080 to go this is how we want to play our footy. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.920 That first twenty minutes when they were down to twelve 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.560 was possibly the complete polar opposite. Like you said, seven tackles, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.000 they defend a couple sets. They do a good job 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.399 with twelve. First tackle Lomax drops it, yes, and then 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.160 they go to a scrum where they end up picking 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.120 up Valentine Holmes and dragging him over the sideline. You think, geez, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.639 they're not going to score here. Next tackle, first tackle 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.400 Jeremiah and I flies out of the line and puts 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.639 a shot on the trail who drops it? Which they 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.800 go offload, offload and Xavier. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.000 Coach scores on the right hand corner. 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.560 Like everything that could have gone wrong for you so 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:35.760 well is that it did. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.119 At that point, I'm thinking to myself, man, I mean, 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:40.960 we've let them back into the game. But they've got 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.040 you know, the crowd of come back into the game. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.000 You know, they've got momentum. I'm thinking of himself, Well, 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:47.800 here we go. They've allowed them to get back in. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.480 And as you know, when you're loading fourteen two and 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:56.080 you've got complete dominance. Excuse me, that's all right, and 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.000 you've got complete dominance, what happens is all of a sudden, 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.360
