WEBVTT - Round 3 Takeaways 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.120 Some sides of the moment I think are benefiting greatly 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:06.360 from doing less. 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.400 I don't know if doing less is the right term, 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:15.360 but put it this way, less long winded, structured said pieces. 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:17.200 Less sideways like. 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.520 What's required at the moment, as opposed to just playing 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:21.880 this elaborate player. 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.400 As opposed to go and let's take three to the 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:24.000 far post. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.280 Four, it's more like go forward, go forward, and then 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:27.920 reacting off that. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.120 Tiger is the best example, and we spoke about them 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:32.400 last week. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.239 They started the game coops that every time they got 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:37.519 a little bit of momentum. 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.160 They just go sideways. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.080 They pushed the ball at the edge, they get excited 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.000 and try to create through width. As the game started 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.519 to go on there you can see them now starting 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.080 to actually find their style more doing. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.680 Less, keeping the ball through the middle. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.560 When toroll May goes forward and creates a momentum, hey 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:55.600 take another one. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:56.920 It's going to make us more dangerous. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.840 Let's have a look at some of this what I'm 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.240 talking about here on the game of the weekend, and 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.680 you see Leui just keeping the ball double drop under, 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.000 keep things nice and tight in the middle. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.040 His may, he's just been enormous. He goes forward. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.759 Let's not go sideways yet, yeah, bird, he goes forward, 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:20.240 and then the silver scoop goes over and scores and 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.240 you look very very basically. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.600 Basic, but it works for him. 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.560 It's scored points afterwards, just in a simple form like 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.640 there's two ways you either make meters and score points. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.959 One you ford momentum to shift, or you shift to 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.320 create space, and then the forward momentum. But at some 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.800 stage you have to take advantage of what you've created with. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.200 It's a fast ruck, and you know, to the Tiger's 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.039 point that is it's basically three hit ups for a 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.520 crash over from whalf That's what it looks like. But 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.200 it's death by a thousand cuts. Ford momentum, quicker play 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.480 the ball, forward momentum. Quicker play the ball, and then 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.200 all of a sudden, the silver first person to make 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.520 a decision, realizes that he's got the opportunity. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.520 And I think the sides, and I think that what 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.040 it feeds into there is that the sides who are 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.040 doing less keeping the ball more through the center field, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.720 because let's face it, with the fast rucks in twenty 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:13.240 twenty five, the defensive vulnerability is in around that middle. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.720 And you can do a decoy play like not that 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.560 close to the line, but say that's in around midfield, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.160 three runs targeting a big, slow middle forward and then 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.799 have your footwork come back through the middle. For example, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.400 Lewis could turn a pass back inside for during buller. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.040 You take advantage of guys have made three tackles in 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.800 a row twenty minutes at the end of their stint. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.160 So there's another way where you sort of target someone 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.200 look like you're going away, but you can come back 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:39.800 through that middle. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.679 There's some really crucial combinations starting to form with the Tigers. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.960 The one two dummy half. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.240 Punch of Da Silver and Appy Corus, how. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:48.200 Has been enormous. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.320 Da Silver has been fantastic, But the other one, the 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.040 really big one. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:52.960 Leui and Galvin. 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.720 On the weekend they took another step towards I think 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.720 you're starting to really find their football together and it 0:02:58.760 --> 0:02:59.160 was a try. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:02:59.880 If you have a look at. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.400 Operating in tandem and the fact that Galvin takes them 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.920 on here right and you watch the numbers that gathers, 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.880 this is how seven and six should play. Lewis recognizes where. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.800 The ball needs to go. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.359 The line has been shortened right up I know where 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:14.760 it's got. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.600 To get to, and that's seven and six. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.560 Wilson operating as a combination in the same play, still 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.760 operating as a combination. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.280 The unspoken part about that, Yes, Galvin running and getting 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.480 the ball to the threat in the vulnerable area, but 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.360 the combination of Happy Chorus and Leui, that ability to 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.880 move the other side of the ruck but then still 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.320 pass back is not easy to do. That is because 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.960 they spent time penrith That is repetition at training, and 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.240 that is the reason why that happened. The ability for 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.880 Leui to recognize their short on the one side, but 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.520 then to be on the same page. How many times 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.520 do we see that and a ball hits a deck 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.720 or a dummy half turns around and just ends up 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.840 running the ball because he can't get the pass to 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.840 his half back. So, yes, good play, but I reckon 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.720 the understand of Corus how they're tremendous. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.600 You didn't talk about sharks in a second before we do. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.560 Dolphins gone through a difficult period. But Isaiah katoa beautiful 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.480 little sequence on the weekend. If we just have a 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.800 look at this, coops and starts with the inside ball 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.480 like these are like a mirror play because he goes 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.160 inside on that little strain ball that's yu Blake's used 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.600 to call it. So he creates the dent, mate Marshall. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.320 Marshall key picks up, makes twenty meters. Now watch this 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.200 because first he's on that inside strain ball again, look 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.520 a tiny little glance book out for the tunnel ball. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.400 Just that little deception he just set, tiny little look in. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.440 They just squeezed in the dolphins and made him vulnerable top. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.040 End half back player. That's got rep play written all 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.280 over it. That is not something you just think of. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.279 That's something that you react to and practice over and over. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.600 And the pass to throw the long ball the farm worth, yeah, 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.160 that is very difficult to do. Like the inside look 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.000 you know, condensed defenders and then throw a rocket pill 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.919 through the full back hit the. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.080 Center like Isaiah is he twenty one? 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.400 Yeah, early twenties, mate, And like that team is struggling 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.239 at the moment, but that kid has a big future. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.719 Like he just glimpses of what his half back player 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.599 has been over his start to his career. Like you 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.960 could cut it up and say like that is that's 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.120 a kid older than what. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.600 He's been doing age, Yeah, he's producing pretty good players. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:27.240 Queensland I think, yeah, yeah, the half back play great 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.120 way from cart but the Sharks, Maddie I thought. Craig 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.960 Fitzgibbon summed up what Trindle and Hines are after the 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.200 game tremendously well. There is a lot of noise around 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.120 Nico rightly wrongly. I don't particularly care. But if you've 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:47.600 got halves that have a team first mentality, a selfless 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.080 approach to the game, I'd take that halves pairing over 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.200 someone that wants to be dominant main man, wants to 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.080 win a deli and all those things. Because we've spoken 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.200 about this a thousand times when you and your brother 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.839 were playing, when I was playing with some different halves, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.000 when one half is on the other one sits back 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.560 and says, you know what you go And then when 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.080 he's a little bit off and out one other one, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.640 the other half steps up and takes control of the play. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.960 What Trindle and Heines are doing right now that they 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.640 sit probably below the Peneriths Melbourne and Brisbane in terms 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.160 of recognition, but they're humming along beautifully underneath. And if 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.359 that halve's pairing can continue to do that, like Trindle 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.320 kicks two forty twenties. Nico Heines goes, all right, I'm 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.120 going to step back a bit here, let Trindle go. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.680 But then when the game's there, hind season opportunity goes, no, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.320 give me the ball. I'm on, and then Trindle steps back. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.120 That is a good operation because I remember when I 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.320 got to the Roosters. We struggled in twenty eighteen, and 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.560 I spent majority of my career sort of attacking a 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.400 three ind defender with the Bakraa and Billy Slater around. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.200 Tried to get that same look at the Roosters, but 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.320 realized Kiri Tedesco they run east west quicker than most 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.000 players we had in the competition. I had to change. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.520 I had to become a sort of a condensing of 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.159 the few middle defenders to create space for these guys 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.160 to play it off way more laterally, so my attacking 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.760 didn't actually end up on the edges. It became more 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.960 in the middle of the rock, creating space vi Kiri 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.800 and Tedesco to do it. So I really liked that 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.320 mindset what Trindle and Heindes are doing, right. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.520 I really like about the Sharks, and it took me 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.679 back to the really early days of the Melbourne Storm 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.040 eight ninety nine was at times it was almost like 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.480 a five man kick return, like with the Melbourne Storm 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.800 and those like ninety nine. You knocked the ball down 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:39.080 field and the centers would turn and their centers would 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.880 turn an end just sprint back and join a five 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.000 better return. I remember saying to Robbie Ross one two 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.520 was a fullback in the side, like, how do they 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.640 do that? And he goes, you know, like as far 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.360 as fitness and keep it up, he goes, yeah, they've 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.800 just got him at he that's what. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:53.520 He tells him to do. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.040 And I thought the way they combined there was they 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.520 really worked well as a combination on kick returns. Some 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.040 of the beauties like Row and Maltalo did a couple 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.120 of crackers on kick returns. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.920 To explain why teams are getting plays back behind the 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.240 ball and kick chase is if the opposition kicks a 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.360 ball down and puts eleven players in the defensive line, 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.080 the poor old fullback is just running back against eleven players. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.440 So the more you can get behind the footy, I 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.120 the wingers in the centers to put sort of doubt 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.559 in that defensive mind. And they did a number of times. 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.600 The Sharks of the weekend, their ability to sort of 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.160 isolate one on one users spoon acceleration. Yeah, very good, 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:30.600 very good. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.000 The only thing about the Sharks I've got coops is 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.360 I still want to see more killer about them. Like 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.160 on the weekend there was an opportunity for them to 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.679 really drive it home and the second half like that. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.920 You can't boat the top teams. You can't win a 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:50.240 competition playing forty minute football. Hassen Carrigan Broncos. I haven't 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.680 seen a better yardish combination. Has is just he is 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.600 having a phenomenal start of the season. In some ways, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.720 it's save as shadow the fact that I think Pat 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.640 Carry is playing the best football of his career. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.920 But that you know, if you talk it like it's funny. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.760 I was watching Has and what's become a trend in 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.000 the game, becurse of the speed and the rucks through 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.480 the middle is the small thirteen. Yeah, who's built like 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.960 a brick Shitthouse, low center of gravity, got good foot 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.360 spured and good footwork. In a lot of ways, pain 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.439 Has is that player, Like he has all those attributes. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.760 He's got a big center of balance, he's fast, he's 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.560 got good footwork. The only difference he is his one 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.880 hundred and twenty kilos. He is just devastating at the moment. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:40.000 Yeah, Like the Broncos have the perfect ingredients like powerful 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:45.160 forward pack, smart halves, athletic outside backs and when Paynehass 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.760 and Carrigan put it together. I'd love to be Onnam 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.320 Reynolds of Benhart because you're going to create momentum. And 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.640 we just spoke about with the Tigers. You could shift 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.160 to the to the outside, or you could play straight 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.080 back through the middle with Reese Walsh. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.120 Like you can actually you can sit there. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.680 They are a guarantee, right, guarantee go forward, so you 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.320 could sit there. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:06.920 You know we're working with the combination. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.679 You say, listen, coops, after this play, we're going to 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.360 put this on because you know you're going to have momentum. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.480 Yeah, free Like Adam Reynolds could get really tricky with it, 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.640 like he could say Rono Carrigan and has just drive 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.040 two tackles around. I'd put re Swash out on the 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.200 far left hand side and as pain House starts carrying 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.000 the football, send Resquash all the way out the outside 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.040 back to my inside and look like you're going to 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.640 throw the ball out of the centers and just step 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.720 back in straight through the the middle. Forwards that have 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.559 to have back to back tackles on one Carrigan then 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.720 painhasse and then if you throw a dummy like you 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.679 go into the outside, they're going to clip. You go 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.520 to sleep for half a second through that middle. I'm 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.120 straight back through. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.520 Let's have some of the great artish combinations over the years, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:53.520 personally contemporary one Brian Totter and Dylan Edwards. Yeah hard 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.000 when they go on one and two, and then at 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.600 the back end of those sets you've got Fisher, Harris 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.040 and Liota over the last four or five years. Go 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.920 back in time, a great one two punch used to 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.080 be Bradley Clyde Glenn Lazarus. Clyde would actually get back 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.040 behind the ball and take play twos and then you'd 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.840 have Laso later on in the set. Sarah and Blocker 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.080 were great, like Siro was just you know, this huge 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.960 man at the time, biggest guy in the league at 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.319 the time. He'd take the yards, play quick and then 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.840 Blocker would get on the right and Blocker had beautiful 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.600 soft hands and skill awareness. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.240 A lot of Benny lies off the back of that too, right. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.320 Well, the two you know you speak to people almost 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.760 of the half, the playmakers, the half and five a 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.520 for Balmain in those days was Blocker and Benny and 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000 then mate, you've got and you look at it down 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.320 back in the day when you know, to see how 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.520 Sydney boys were flying, they win competitions. If you got 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.560 the three Burgess boys, you got George, Tom and Sam. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.680 Like you have a look at that Grand Final, Sam 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.880 and George working this combination. I usually thought George should 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.640 have got the Clyde Churchill medal, but that's for another day. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.680 The only other sort of team that could match what 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.000 Edwards and Fisher Harrison Liota in time would be the 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.120 Broncos Lottie Takiri, Wendel sailor and put on the top 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.760 of that web ce Simla Seba. Yes, but that is 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.480 pure domination through the yardage game. Most games you play 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.760 and you talk about, you know, the Broncos set it up. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:23.080 One of the tactics I found very interesting from the Cowboys, 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.160 and part of the reason why they're three losses in 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.559 the row is their detail and ability to want to 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:34.160 defend and their fifth played defense, particularly Drinkwater on Adam 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.200 Reynolds and Ben Hunt. There was vision there. Ben Hunt 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.240 gets this kick right, It should have been perfect in 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:44.520 a triscoring situation, Drinkwater is out of position when you're 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.080 going into a game doing movements like this, sees bodies turned. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.920 This is play three off a set tap. Adam Reynolds 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.040 has coordinated this to know that drink Water is not 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.000 paying attention. And if Ben Hunt gets this kick right, 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.079 it's try time. Drinkwater turned back. Eight is a space 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.600 and he goes for the kick. Here drink Water is 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.680 clocking off when he has to work, and it's hurting 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.920 the Cowboys at the moment. And there was another time 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.960 a little bit later with Adam Reynolds just straight through 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.640 drink Water here today. If there's one thing that Adam 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.240 Reynolds gets right when the fullbacks in the line is 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.600 the early kick. Drink Water missed that kick by a meter. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.640 It's because he didn't work early enough and fast enough 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.200 early on. So I think there's a couple of things 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.440 going wrong with the Cowboys at the moment. But if 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.319 you're going to play against Adam Reynolds, one thing you 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:32.800 must do as a fullback is you've got to be 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.839 on in fifth player. He picked him apart. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.480 On the weekend, he's kicking as beautiful on the weekend. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.880 He's one of those players. Dally chi Evens is another one. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.640 He did it again against the Raiders weeks well. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.520 He gets like those two blokes. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.120 I see them sometimes wander the line, particularly Daly, and 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.920 he goes it almost puts them. They put himself sometimes 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.200 in a culder sack, but they still find the right kick. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.800 It's ruthless, it's relentless. But with your kicking game as 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.640 a halfback, if the open position have a chink in 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.640 the armor and they show you a queue to it 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.760 early on, you just keep going back to it daily. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.600 Jerry Evans did it against the Raiders. Big kick, last play, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.840 footsteps down, drop ball, except big kick, footsteps that. It 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.480 just kept coming. It's very effective. And when you come 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.240 up against a smart halfback and you spill the ball 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.960 or you're out of position, you better fix it quickly 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.120 otherwise are going to keep coming. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.320 Cowboys were a lot better, a lot better. But yes, 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:35.360 oh and three yeah manly before we talked about the 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.040 dogs and par and a straight talk made manly. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.600 It was very a very manly performance. Again, back home 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.480 put Raiders to the sword. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.760 Yep. So for twenty the first twenty minutes they had 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.040 an ample amount of possession and struggle to score points. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.200 Then the sinbin happened and they just turn it on. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.320 When Manly get hot. They are white hot compared to 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:06.120 some teams. Terry Evans outstanding, Ola Clartu intimidatingly scary. But 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.120 again I think the Perseca injury is a big thing 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.760 for me only Yeah, I did too, Like they have 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.680 the best attack in the comp when they put it together. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.280 But if they want to beat Brisbane, they're going to 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.040 need a big forward pack to stop carrygan at Haas 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.000 they want to beat Melbourne, they're going to need someone 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.600 to stop Nelson and utah Wa Kamano and losing Prosecca 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.480 is going to go a long way to hurting that. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.640 Just from that you just said about Nelson dispartment memory 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:30.200 and then I too. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.960 Really impressed me the other night was Jack Cole. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:33.760 Ah. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.760 Yeah, what really impressed me. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.440 About him was how he was able to on the 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.680 run almost correct his game when Nathan went off the field. 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.800 You could see he was trying to play the Nathan role. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.840 Some of the sequences while he was getting a cross 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:51.120 field dum mean and yeah, those players that those little 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.360 shows that Nathan do that look very simple and basically 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.080 you see when Jack did it, he just wasn't comfortable 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.840 and wasn't threatening. And then you know, about ten to fifteen, 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.760 it's in. You can see him just go no, no, no, 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.119 I'm going to go back. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.640 And play the way that I play. And when you. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:11.880 Consider coops, you know it's fourteen nil. When Nathan leaves 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.600 the field, he has to take control. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.360 Of the of the team. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.880 He and Isaiah, Oh, Isaiahah was enormous again, but also 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.240 Blaze come on, Blaze to Langy. It come on at six. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.200 So it's not like he had a six alongside him 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.240 who could help with the organization. You know, he was 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.440 him and Isaiah that they were having to control all things. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.320 Isaiah was the coming six, if you want to put 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.680 it that way. Like his touches went through the roof 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.920 his organization, just through when he decided to pass, run 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.640 and play out the back. But I really like what 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.960 Cole did, Like this was probably an opportunity where he 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.120 could have got stage fright and gone, oh my Maine 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.320 man's out, but he simplified it he ran the football, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.200 he got involved and he actually showed some signs that 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.840 you know what, actually this kid might have something at 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:55.360 the back end. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:56.720 Jenkins full back. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.160 Yeah yeah, And you know this is what we spoke 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.080 about this last week. This young you know, the young 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.480 Penrith side went to Manly against a strong Manly side 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.080 in the trials, had four points park and put him 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:08.520 to the sword. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:10.400 It's the strength of the system. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.280 And it's also like to win a competition, you need 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.320 to have a good club, not just good players in 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.040 your seventeen a good club club. I've done it four 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.080 years and it doesn't look like it's going to stop 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.760 any time. Man, they like with Nathan going off and 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.600 everything that happening, like Melbourne were looking good, like they 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.800 could have easily ran away with that. But somehow, whether 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.680 it was Melbourne taking a foot off or actually Penis 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.919 wrestling a little bit back, you can't do anything but 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.280 tip your cap to what Penith? 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.280 What did the other MEAs how filthy Bellyac would have 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.080 been afterwards, because for him it would have been an 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.679 opportunity to strike a psychological blow. But now it's actually 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.080 I think probably the other way, I'd say Ivan would 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.560 have went away and go, Okay. 0:17:53.520 --> 0:18:00.359 This is this sort of competition between these two this right, Valry, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.920 it's going to be around for a bit and particularly 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.919 this year they're going to play again and again again. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.240 Talking about Rovalry beauty from the eighties and mate, I 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.119 love this game yesterday, Dogs versus Power. 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.280 I just I really enjoyable better Power were better. Power 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:24.840 were better, a lot better. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.680 Zachlomax, what thirty two carries in football? Still a few 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.680 defensive things is renowned for me. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.560 And thirty carries in the season, that's pretty impressive. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.160 Brief yourself. But I thought that. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.040 They got the momentum they got in that second half, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:42.840 they could smell that they could get a win. But 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.840 like a lot of people have gone with the Bulldogs 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.040 gone oh, it was pretty good informced by Bulldogs. I 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.399 think totally the opposite. You go into games sometimes coops, 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.600 and you have to win ugly or you have to 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:56.600 you've got to find a way to win when the 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.360 opposition is dictate, dictating the terms of the contest. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.560 And we've all been. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.000 In those games where you're going to halftime, you're feeling 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.359 quite comfortable. For whatever reason, you come out in the 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.439
