WEBVTT - 🏉 NRL Analysis - Matty is back from Paris

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Better than the lego better leg.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I was talking footy in our coops the past month

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 2>in particular, there's been some really unusual score lines, some blowouts,

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>but lots of points scored forty to thirty six, forty

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>to thirty four, forty eight, thirty and so on. What

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>is is drinking its post origin quicker rucks from the referees.

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Have you been watching the footy while having some beers.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>On the I listen.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't having a lot of beers, but I was

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>working at two o'clock every morning.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually worked out.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Good to have your back anyway, I'll be watching the.

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I realized when I was away with what real work is.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>It was great. I loved it over there. It was

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>good to answer your question.

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there has been some blows, and I think there's

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>a gap between the haves and the haves not. The

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 3>reason why I say has is like storm panthers, like

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't matter what mood they're in, doesn't matter what

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 3>time here, the position on the ladder. They just have

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 3>this consistency about them that they will fight for every

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>inch every time they lace up their boot. That's the

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 3>thing that you get confidence as a fan watching your team,

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>but they have knots well. I feel like it depends

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 3>on what mood they're in whether they can play footy

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>today or not. Because their best football I'm talking like

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 3>the Broncos and the Warriors, the Cowboys on the weekend,

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 3>their best football is finals, but their worst football is

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 3>there's a huge gap between.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 2>It keeps the best example of that, let let's talk

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>about the Titans. We were saying just recently tightened to

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 2>that terrible start of the season. With the better start

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and the way they've been playing or same, my god,

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>not just in the top eight, they'd be starting to

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>press the top four. And then you get I mean,

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>explain this to me. Two weeks ago, their second half

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>against the Broncos they win thirty six nil, probably one

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest halves.

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Of football in that club club's history.

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>The next half of football the next week, the first

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 2>half against the Sharks, they get beat thirty nil, one

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>of their worst How can a professional rugby league side,

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>how can that happen?

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>I think if you are consistent from the first day

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>in November in pre season, you'll be consistent on Grand

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Final day. If you are inconsistent throughout the weeks, you

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 3>will get a great performance one day and you'll get

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 3>a poor performance the next. And I feel like when

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 3>it comes back to how can you answer and how

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 3>can we put like a number on why this is

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>such a big gap. It has to be individual accountability.

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 3>It can't be anything more than that, because if you

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>and I feel like we're going to play day, I'm

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>going to work hard. I'm going to help you be

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the best player we can be. I think we get

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 3>a great performance. But if I sit back and go, oh,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to going to work, I'm going to let

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Matthew do the work today. I just don't feel like

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 3>it today. I think that's when you get your inconsistency,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's the performance. You don't have to be dramatically off.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not talking like a fifty cent mindset shift. I'm

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.399
<v Speaker 3>talking one two three percent because you can't have the performances.

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 3>And the Broncos are exactly the same poor performances for

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>six weeks. Down at halftime against the Cowboy's away from Home,

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 3>There's season has been on line for a month. I'll

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 3>tell you what that was. Some of the best football

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I've seen a player at ages.

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 2>It is I just go back to that Titans versus

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos game for a sec because being over there,

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get an opportunity saw some of the games,

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>but not all of them.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>What happened in that second half.

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Because is it almost like the Broncos submitted, because it

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 2>seems to say, but if it was hazard a guess,

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I would say that that first half against Cronulla has

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>been a byproduct against playing against the side forty minutes

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>before they're basically totally surroundered and let them just do

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever they want.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 3>We always say, you know, compliments sort of yes, shift

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 3>your focus, whereas criticisms sharpens your sword. And I think

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>there's a little bit of complacency, a little bit of

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 3>pat in the back, a little bit of all of that.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 3>But the thing about the Titans performance is like those

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 3>wins and the teams that win the Grand Final is

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>because laid the foundation in November. It's not let it

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 3>turn up in round twenty. Go all right, now we're

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 3>going to play. I think the teams that have really

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>high highs and low lows, inconsistent training means inconsistent on

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 3>game day.

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>With that theme, took the rise of the Kennary Bulldogs

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're saying about how winning starts in the off season,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>laying the bed rock down, giving yourself that big, strong base.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You can see with the Bulldogs the way they're playing

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>their football camera Sorealdo had the real vision of how

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to play, and they've recruited on that, etc.

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'll just go back, I'll take a little stlf

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>step back there for a second. This is why one

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>of the things I don't get is when a club

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>decides I think it's time to move someone on a coach.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you what to say. Face, Let's give

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you the first six rounds of next year. Well, it

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work because in the off season you are putting

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>down your principles and your ideas. Now, with the Bulldogs,

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you can see that they recruited, they've done everything. Everything

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>they've done is geared towards the way they want to play.

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>The traditional Bulldogs pack, a big, strong, and aggressive this

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>i'd reckon is the smallest pack in the competition, the Bulldogs,

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 2>But he's just playing a different playing a very cerebral

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>type of football, light feet through the middle, short passing.

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's just it's going great guns.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 3>To back up that foundation stuff. There's a reason why

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Craig Bewmy wins every round one under his coaching is

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 3>because he's layered the foundation. There's a reason why teams

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 3>make your Grand Final and then miss the finals the

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>next week, they haven't laid the foundation. In terms of

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 3>the Dogs, like, I love that Sieraldo hasn't changed his

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 3>approach because he is the architect of the Penrith defense,

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 3>the best defense we've seen, right, and then he gets

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>the Dogs and his first year a bad defensive team,

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, the worst in the competition, but it doesn't

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 3>change the system. He gets people into to understand it better.

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 3>He gets repetition and after doing hours and hours of work,

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden they're in the top bracket, the

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 3>best offensive team. So they've got workers, they've got commitment.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>The system hasn't changed. It got just people being more

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>effective and what's the rowd they needs him to do?

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 2>And from round one the football they're playing this year,

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>they attempted to play that football from round one and

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>they haven't so much changed. I mean behind the scenes,

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>week to week you might just get a tiny little change,

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>but they've laned a game plan and a principle down

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>this is how we're going to play it. And as

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>a byproduct of not changing it up, every player as

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>it inside out, and once that starts to happen, you

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>can start to form combinations. Like the first combination that

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>really formed was left hand Burton Kickou Bronson Cherry. But

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, the middlemen they're smaller blokes

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>that they're starting to form combination. And then finally the

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 2>right edge Toby Sexton, kind of Tracy, Jacob Preston and

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Crichton. So they've got these beautiful little combinations, these

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>pockets of combination right across field.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 3>I think the I think Stephen Crichton started the year

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 3>at left center and it had all the ingrediens to

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 3>be the most dominant left sign but for defensively and

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 3>the team first mentality, Crichton had to go to the right.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 3>They're really sure that side defensively, and he's done a

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 3>wonderful job. The other part too, is they're a small

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>forward pack, but they're getting the job done through heart

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 3>and character. The flip side is of it, they missed

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of tackles. They missed more tackles than the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 3>dragons on the weekend. Can that scramble defense, the ones

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 3>where they miss a lot. Can it stop Penrith? Can

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 3>it stop Storm? Who don't miss opportunities when given?

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, Coop, I think there's two types of misses,

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>and the tackles that they are missing or get it

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>marked down on the street that are missing I think

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>are low risk miss miss tackles. So it's like this,

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>if you move up in the line, nice and strong

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and you kick out and he bounces off you, you

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>get that as a miss, but it's not. It's a

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not a bad miss missed to a line break

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 2>absolutely to a quick play there you find your sitting

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>on your hurls and they just go straight through you.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a costly miss because it's a smaller pack of forwards.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of hitting and players bouncing off, but

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>other guys are making the tackles, so they're not bad misses.

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 3>And the challenge will be can Marnie kirk Man, Josh

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Karen can they do it to Fish? Harris Leoda? Can

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 3>they do it to Nelson? Those bigger packs consistently? But

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what, they're working very hard for.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 2>One another moment, a couple of players want to talk

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>about first time we're talking about Kurt Man. And it's

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 2>clear the camera in Serraaldo has given Kurt Man clear

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>instructions and clear boundaries. Newcastle, they almost let Kurt do

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever he wanted to a certain extent. And you know,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 2>he was trying to do a little bit of everything,

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 2>and he tied himself in knots and.

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>That he had no breaks. You're seeing Kurt nearly all

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:46.559
<v Speaker 1>of the time.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>He's running just late footwork, Pogan through the line, play

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the ball quick, occasionally a nice little pass, the short

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>passer out the back. He's playing. He's just playing. It's

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the best football I've seen ing players career. He's still

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 2>got a little bit of old Kurt in him. There's

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 2>just and that is sometimes he gets he gets married

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to a decision too long. Look, here's an example here

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>where he's trying to force a little bit.

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 3>He overplays his hand big time. Here, Kurt Man, because

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 3>right now, stop there. If he goes inside shoulder on

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 3>Mariner creates one on one with kick al and Ben

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Hunt try it, yep, but he is trying to finesse this.

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 3>He's already got to his target defender. He overplays it.

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 3>And turns over the ball. But he all he need

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 3>to do is go arrow straight the inside shoulder Mariner

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and that is a try.

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>And that was that was a lot of times for

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the tailor of tape at Newcastle. I'd see him, I'd

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 2>see Kurt and it was a little bit with Connor

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Watson when.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He was there as well. The high spured, high energy players.

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>But if you let that, if you let those players basically,

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>if you don't put boundaries.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Around, they're going to do They're going to tie himselves

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>are not sometimes?

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if the one thing he probably need to learn

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 3>on that play is count the numbers. Once you've got

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 3>the advantage as a ball player, you don't need to

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 3>go sidewones. You've got the five on four, the four

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 3>and three. It's go straight to create the advantage outside.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Good performance and he since he's coming to that football side,

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 3>they've gone from strength to strength and so is he. Yeah.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I think they started off with Drew Hutchinson's steady hand,

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 3>good organizer, but this kid's added to it. Like this

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 3>couple of tri Sissy had here. Nice kick that's instinct

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 3>that's drifting across the field with time and space and

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 3>reacting but this one here is very smart. He's got

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 3>that there's a kick gain, but understands the instinct, gets

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 3>the freedom to do it, but try late on for

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 3>bronze and cherry by pass.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>This is very smart sugam in it. And that's that's

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a tough pass.

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 2>That that flat cut out pass and decision at the

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>last moment, that's that's a that's a really.

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Tough ball Ben Hunt. He realized Ben Hunt turns in

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.319
<v Speaker 3>on kick out and just opens up that space and

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 3>threw a bullet past the cherry. So I think he's

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 3>added to And I think the other part or the

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.320
<v Speaker 3>indication that says you've been an effective halfback is the

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>space that he's providing for Connor Tracy and Matt Burton.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Those guys are getting a lot of touches and cause

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 3>them damage.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>God, what about the role they're on at the moment.

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Give me a predicted finish. There's one hundred bucks. You

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>tell me where they finish.

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 3>I think they finish fifth. I think they play a

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 3>home final right at the end of the Yet, yeah,

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 3>i think they've got a core almost sold out. Whoever

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 3>they're playing. They will win Week one and then it's

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 3>whether that forward pack can go away to the loser

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 3>of the type and beat their big forward pack, because

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>you imagine, like the Roosters would be pretty scary for

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 3>that forward pack to handle. I love what their edge

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>defense is doing. Yeah, but it's just whether they can

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 3>win that week two.

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my gud Phil will be the same.

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Second week of the finals would would be a fit

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 2>amazing achievement. I supposedly get if they get through that

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>first week and they come up against the Roosters or

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a Storm or Sharks, one of those sides, they'll go

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>in with that underdog mentality as we've.

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Been playing all year.

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 2>But jeez, I just think depending on what side of

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>the droy you sit on, Boyd's, it'd be.

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Too fair against the Dragons. They've got a big, powerful

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 3>food pack and there was a lot of reasons for

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 3>the Dragons to play well against the Dogs, and they

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>got the job done. Kurt Man vision. There was a

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 3>lot of space for kirk Man to do his thing.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 3>That's the way the Dogs need to play. They need

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 3>space for the little men to use their footwork and

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 3>their passing game.

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 1>It was soon a bit of comebackside than the peneth.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>That like it was. It was scary. Good for the

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 3>to be just.

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Ticking down and you run out of time.

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>You got fourteen points to pick up, and you just

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>don't panic whatsoever and just get it done.

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 3>When Liam Martin went to the sin bin, they actually

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 3>went up a gear like go back and watch the play.

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 3>The bull speed, the intensity at which they ran, their

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 3>ability just to get into this. Here was the player

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 3>that sealed it. Poor defense from powermatter in that period

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>of time. In the last ten minutes, I ao Nathan Cleary, Yeah,

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 3>very very good. I loved it. When they were under

0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 3>pressure they actually went a bit harder.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.199
<v Speaker 2>And the setup or the big comeback, the setup for

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>that is the first thirty minutes of football we have seen.

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>They have got so much trust in the way they play.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>As far as the inside balls starting, I've I've been

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>watching them a little bit and start to think are

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 2>they starting a little too conservative? But the inside balls,

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 2>inside balls, inside balls, and as no coincidence, with about

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>fifteen to go, you can see the opposition the middle

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>start that hit the ball.

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Before the taruva try so that they score through Brian

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Tore and they get the kickoff set and it's not

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Penrith's system it's shift right, shift left, shift right. They

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 3>went nineteen meters, got an attacking kicking from clear in

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 3>taruver scores. Right then, I thought, oh, there are a

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 3>big chances chasing down this school board here.

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I once spoke to interview the Great huban Omen about

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>riding Winks, and he said, no matter how far it

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>got behind, he said, I barely had to pull a whip.

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.719
<v Speaker 2>He said, I would just let Winks tell me what

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it was right to go nice, impatience. Here's an example

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 2>here right, Look this Wink stakes and that's on the outside,

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the first on the outside in the in the blue

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and white.

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Right there.

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 2>You think yourself, Nu can't pick him up? Remember this race,

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and you go no, no, no, no, no no. But

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>from Hugh there's no panic whatsoever. Gives a little bit

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of a tickle, but mainly hands and heels and ends

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>up winning in a canter.

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Huey Bowman's Nathan Cleary.

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I was wondering that you put an allergy between Winks

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 3>and Clearer. Is just showing me how much money you

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 3>had on Winks that day.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't that day.

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought it's due to loss, it's dual loss. I

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 2>did back, but you know what I mean, you're sitting

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>there every time Winks ran, everyone to be standing in

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the pub, all the club and just.

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Going no, no, no, not today, not today. And then Runners.

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 3>The other impressive thing about whether it's Winks is on

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the Unbeate run or Beenth, you just feel like there's

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>going to be a flat spot, but there just isn't.

0:14:59.240 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Nathan's out for how many weeks? Is Leuais steps and

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>gets your job done? Dylan Edwards was terrific. Nathan comes

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 3>back down by what is it fourteen with tend to go,

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>they get the job done. Grand Final, like there's it's

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 3>just it's scary good.

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>It's still there to lose.

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they are pole position absolutely, I don't know, it

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter what else Skeets said. They are absolutely the

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 3>favorites right now.

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And they've had this certain amount of luck.

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you look at Nathan, he's playing fresh,

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 2>he's like different times through this amazing dynasty they've had.

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 2>They have lost key players at different manument, but it's worked.

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>For it and they're winning different ways too. It's not

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 3>as if they've won one way the whole time. They've

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 3>had challenges behind injuries whatever it is.

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Terrific club, terrific Sharks interesting. On the weekend, we spoke

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to this for another example of becurse of key men,

0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>missing key creative men being basically being forced to simply

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>simplify your football.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about all the flowery stuff.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Just get back to really simple, direct power football and

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>how you suddenly find your best stuff. Like on the weekend,

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Blake Brailey's playing half back and they just simplified. They

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 2>did less, they passed the ball sideways less, They just

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>were very simple power game and that's that's how they

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>should play.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 3>It was a perfect storm for the Sharks for on

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 3>the weekend because injuries simplifying football, make a really basic approach.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 3>And on the other side of the field, well, they

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 3>got a little bit too carry away with themselves, the Titans,

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 3>and just came out lacking intensity, lacking commitment, and it

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 3>just really set them on the course. To you, it

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter if Heinz comes back in or not, like

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 3>that's how they should play. Then give him the ability

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 3>to row him around the field and come up with.

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>What do you think firstly about the Sharks right predicted

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>to finish, what do you think they'll.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Finish top four. But the thing that happens with the

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Sharks is they haven't won a finals game on a fitzgiven.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they've gone out straight sets and then

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 3>out can So there's going to be some nervous tension

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.679
<v Speaker 3>when the Sharks play their first finally and they're going

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 3>to finish fourth. I means here going to play Melbourne

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.199
<v Speaker 3>in Melbourne, which they've done all penner. Depending on what

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 3>happens this weekend, so I think they'll lose Week one,

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 3>but then it's up to them the win Week two.

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let us lose again and then if they've.

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Got someone like the Dogs, depending on how the ladder

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 3>falls in place, that's a big challenge, is not wrong.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to be going out three years in

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a row like that. That leaves a pretty nasty scar paramatter.

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 2>This is interesting Jason Rosey, You've had a lot of Rosy.

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.399
<v Speaker 2>He has got the biggest job in my opinion, this

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up this offseason. He's trying to move players on

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 2>at the moment. The last one is ringing Hemil Gillard.

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>He's told like a sub and go Ryan Madison's the same,

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>but they get no takers at the moment. Meanwhile, probably

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the bigger issue is the rumors that are going, well,

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 2>they've lost Blaze. Rumors are starting to go around always

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 2>do about Dylan Brown and the ridiculous contract and.

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Clauses he's signed.

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, the latest one has been around Mitchell Moses, which

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 2>was originally that they would probably look to exercise his

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 2>clause at the end of twenty twenty six.

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>He going, Oh my god, the end of twenty twenty six,

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Long, A lot of stuff's going to happen between now

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and then, But then rumors abound, whether it be true

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 2>or not. I'm not sure that he may aggravate for

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 2>an early release.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure what to make of all the noise,

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 3>what it's true, what's not, what is reality? But if

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm Jason Ryles, he may have done this already. He

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 3>may not have. But I'm getting Moses, Brown, Guthson, Will Peraccini,

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 3>and maybe one or two others, and I'm getting them

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 3>over to my house for dinner, and I'm saying, listen,

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 3>this is what I can do, this is the dream,

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 3>this is what I can sell. We're going to work

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 3>our backsides off, and what you think is paramounta Now

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 3>will not be in six months time because all this

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 3>noise is not good. He really needs to get some

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 3>cut through the noise. Jason Rolls and I bore those

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.719
<v Speaker 3>key guys and get them to buy in.

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>No matter how much.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 2>If I was Jason Rolls, Mitchell may agitate it for

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 2>a release.

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Never how much. You cannot release him.

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Because a halfback of Nathan Cleary, Mitchell moses soone that

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.400
<v Speaker 2>their quality you just can't replace them.

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 3>A little bit. Example is Shane Flanagan with Ben Hunt.

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 3>He was gone this time last year, and all it

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 3>takes is a conversation, build a rapport and get someone

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 3>to buy into what you're doing. I mean, you can

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 3>turn that around. So I think that comes down to

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Jason Roles. There's it's a bucket load of noise and

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure what is true or not. But if

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm Jason Rolls, I'm getting those guys and I'm selling

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 3>this is what I need is in here, this is

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 3>what we're doing.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I just spoke about Blaze to Lungey off to Penris,

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>which is big move for Blaze. Who he's going to play.

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 2>There was talk they said they're going to they see

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>him as a six Now, Initially when I heard that,

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought it doesn't appear like a six.

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>But if you've got if you got.

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Cleary and Isa, you don't really need a bloke

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>in the six finessa the football around.

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the right position for him At Penrith.

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 3>He's had some fullback stuff for his score and tries.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:30.439
<v Speaker 3>He's been on the wing center. On the weekend he

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 3>got carved up by the Panthers defensively, like some of

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>the decisions he made was part of the reason why

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Parentuth came back. But this kid can play. And again

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 3>it's like disrespecting Paramatta, but he's going to a club

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 3>that is going to invest in his development, like he

0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 3>is going to sit in the shotgun seat to Nathan

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Cleary and learn, Like it's pretty good. And he's Mitch

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Moses currently at the club and something's happened there that

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 3>says that he wants to go. He's not going to

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 3>play and halves of paramatter, So maybe that's where he

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 3>wants to play. And I like it at Penrith. I

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 3>like that position.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Like we said before, it's their comp to lose. Again,

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Nathan's still a very young player. How is it twenty six,

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty six seven, We'll played for at least another ten years.

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 2>How many comps are going to win? I'm looking at

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>four in a row now, continue on this trajectory, it's

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>just kind of get scary.

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Playmakers just get better.

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what's the one thing that stops panis? Give me

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 3>something that stops Penrith. We're literally luck here.

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Well as far as this season.

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this season, just this season right here.

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I think I think the biggest one is probably injury.

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I think an injury to Nathan because it just appears

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 2>as though they can absorb the loss of just about

0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 2>everyone else. It's incredible still at Edward's like, I don't

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 2>know there's any coincident. On the weekend, they didn't look

0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>anywhere as near as effective without Dylane was there.

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 1>He's one, Nathan's the other. Is there anyone else? Now?

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they can absorb the loss.

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think when it gets down to prelim final,

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Grand Final, it is the best players dominating the other

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 3>best players. So it is, for example, Thursday night, it's

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 3>two teams Penrith and Melbourne. Great game styles. We know

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 3>history says that it's good enough to win, but Ken

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Jerome hughes out point Nathan on the day, so he's

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 3>going to take star power in the opposition.

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 2>To be So that's the thing about it, Coops, you

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 2>know what's going to stop them and I go loss

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 2>of form. They don't drop form because they all know

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 2>what they have to do inside out and.

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Not a team that will lack accountability. Like we spoke

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 3>about before about I don't feel like playing today, even

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 3>if you don't feel like, there's a responsibility to pull

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 3>on the Penrith jersey. So you almost have to expect

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 3>the best case scenario for Penrith when you play them,

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 3>and then how do you beat the best case Well,

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 3>fight fire with fire, good defense, good completion rate. They

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 3>give them opportunities, but when you get your chance, you

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:08.680
<v Speaker 3>better take it.

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 2>As we start to shift to talk about the Broncos

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>because we haven't done the show for a little while

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 2>now and it's worth discussing.

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 3>You've been on holidays for a month.

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Let me see it once again, mate, It was eight

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning, sometimes finished at two o'clock, covering

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>all sports fencing. Okay, we're about to talk about the Broncos.

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>But when you talk about okay, the reason. What is

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 2>the primary reason why it's been such a blood a

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 2>season for the Broncos. Well, we say oftentimes is success

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>tests your metal.

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what it does.

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.639
<v Speaker 2>So to take a step backwards we're just spoke speaking

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.919
<v Speaker 2>about then, don't you tip your lead to the Melbourne

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Storm the Penrith Panthers, regardless of the success individually and collectively,

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 2>they just the fire and the belly doesn't go out.

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Always find a reason why. And the Broncos haven't really

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 3>on their reason why. You could say our origin, you

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 3>could say loss of Renolds, you could, but you could

0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:08.880
<v Speaker 3>say that for Melbourne, Melbourne lost, Mounster parents lost. Clear,

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 3>it's the same thing. But the work ethic from everyone

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 3>else covers the loss of that.

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Is a big football mad city like Brisbane and oftentimes

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 2>the one team.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 3>So they've struggled in the last six weeks, the Bronx

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 3>big Tom but their second half performance. There was a

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 3>moment in that game where in a seventy fifth minute

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 3>or something, Cartoni Stags turns the ball over by making

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 3>a good tackle. Defensively, Ris Walsh runs almost as of score.

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 3>Cartoni Stags is the right center. He made the tackle

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 3>force the eerror he ends up scoring as left center.

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 3>That effort from Cartoni Stags to do that here and

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 3>then down there, it just has not been enough of

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 3>that that. That's I saw it. I noticed it, and

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I thought, that's why the Broncos aren't doing what they're doing.

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 3>There is not seventeen players doing that. Whereas you could

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 3>have done that and any game of the Broncos last

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 3>year and would have seen an effort like that.

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, across the board, that's sort of effort you're Broncos fan,

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 2>if your Kevy waalders. More to the point, you're looking

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 2>game fell us, where was where was that six weeks

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>ago when we needed to do something? This weekend coups,

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 2>there are some huge games in terms of top two,

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 2>top four, top eight Penrith versus the Storm.

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you liking this one?

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a pen well obviously Panthers. But I'm going to

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:30.919
<v Speaker 3>go down the path of what I just said that

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I think this is the type of game Monster arrives

0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 3>or he doesn't arrive.

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He's already yeah, but has his impact on this yeah.

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I think so. Like he's been injured out for a bit,

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Nathan's the superstar opposite him, there's just something that Monster.

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:50.639
<v Speaker 3>I might play a hell of a.

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Game scratchy the Melbourne Storm the last few weeks, but

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the bottom line that the Spine has barely.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Played all together. You can see why they little clunky.

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 3>They're not a spine that requires ten weeks to get

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 3>to know each other. Months is the type of guy

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 3>that would just come in and do it. Jerome Hughes

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 3>at a sensational year. So if I was to say

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 3>that something might have I think Monster might deliver.

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Now the Dogs, they're pushing towards top four, finished the

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 2>up against the Dolphins, who are pushing trying to consolidate

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 2>that top eight spot.

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Really dangerous game for the Dogs because you know that

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Wayne the Dolphins have got to win this one, and

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>he'll have them sky high.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Because the Dolphins have got a tough run after this. Yeah,

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 3>so's it was must win against the Warriors and they

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 3>got out of jail then too. Yeah, hard to tough

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 3>to call. This will be super close. I'll say the

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Dogs just because they're playing better.

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we're going to watch in Bunderberg. Yeah, Cowboys

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Raiders.

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Now on both of these sides, Like Cowboys, what a

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 2>missed opportunity in the weekend dominated the first half of

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 2>only led eighten points to twelve. Second half was considered

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 2>thirty points thirty nil. It's been a little bit like

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the tailor or the tape for the last eighty months

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 2>with the Cowboys Raiders. Both of these sides have got

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to win it.

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Like the cows you just can't trust like they have

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 3>whenever you see them play in terms of names on

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 3>a sheet of paper and the way they can do

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 3>it individual at different stages. All they talk about is

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 3>defensive minds. I say all the right things, but to

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 3>be up eighteen twelve at home against your rival and

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.679
<v Speaker 3>to have a second half like that, yeah, like you

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 3>just can't get confidence from them. And then the Raiders

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 3>on the other hand, well, yeah, again they scrap and fight,

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 3>but they haven't been scrapping and fighting.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 2>And Dragons are going to win this one. Dragons up

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>against the Titans. Titans are going to be well. I

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 2>was going to say they'll be better than last week. Honestly,

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you turn the ross completely over.

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 3>And even the Dragons off the great performance against the

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Storm two weeks ago and then at home sold out

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.080
<v Speaker 3>like there was a lot of reasons for the Dragons

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 3>to really cement themselves. Now they're outside the eight because

0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 3>they lost and the Dolphins won. Yeah again, this is

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.200
<v Speaker 3>a bit like the Cowboys and the Raiders.

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 2>And then finally you've got the Knights and the Sharks,

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>which is really important. So the Knights can't lose. They're

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:19.640
<v Speaker 2>on the razors edge as far as making the top eight,

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the Sharks trying to hold onto that top four spot.

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But more than that, the Sharks, wh've got to start

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to prove they can put two really great performances together

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 2>back to back.

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 3>And the thing with the Sharks, yes, back to back

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Titans Knights. The issue with the Sharks is they want

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 3>to win a finals match. They've got it with respect

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 3>an easier run at the back end of this year,

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 3>so they need to win these games like it's a

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 3>tight contest, not like just playing for twenty minutes then

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 3>putting the Q in the rack. Because if you do

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:52.240
<v Speaker 3>that week one against Penrith.

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Or Melbourne, that's just what we're going to give it

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to you. Radio coops, Good staff man, little jet lagged.

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>From watching all that gold, gold, gold, as Norman May

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 2>used to say, probably a little bit before your time.

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Are you standing up now?

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>What did you know what I'm
