How dare you? 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.840 What an afternoon? It's always nice going and spoiling someone's 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.439 old boys day, always nice and you were there even 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:18.720 just coietly. 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.120 You did not spoil my day. 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.080 Quick summary. Just give us the summary of the game itself. 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:26.079 The game. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:27.840 What did you like about the game? You were there 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.120 at Old Boys weekend? So manly Newcastle, the Old Boys, 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.120 how Tommy goes great? Give me some other things that 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:36.720 happened in the game. 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.120 Okay, Clayton for the score, it was forty six twenty 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.240 six four the war. But I'll tell you what leading 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.800 into the game I had I had a I was 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.760 deeply concerned because of Tommy's return, but also Clayton in 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.480 the sixth Folalo. I just when he went into the 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.080 six jersey, I just had a feeling he was going 0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.640 to give you as an extra little bit of a 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.040 bit of cutting edge and attack. Is a natural player. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.960 Oh natural footy players. You feel like he just put him, 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.640 put him on the field and you get a job done. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.560 You know what he's done for us this year, in 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.720 the last couple of years been exceptional. He was probably 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.200 our best on the weekend him and unbelievable on that 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.320 left edge, just such a good runner of the football. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.840 What about Fozz Like he came in after seabold one 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.080 more than he lost in that period of time when 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.520 that losing streak. Was there a change in the way 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.600 that he coached or the way that he got the 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.360 reaction or was it just the fact that you came. 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.959 Back and you're no, no, no, it's definitely not been 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:37.640 the case to change. Definitely not been the case. He 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.120 was too kind of it. But no, I think he 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:45.399 hasn't changed obviously, Like when he come in and you 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.319 know the belief he gave us and the boys just 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.240 got in the back of it. He probably thought that 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.240 this job's easy. For ten years and coaching footy team's 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.280 hard work, and you know, that struggling period, he probably realized, 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.040 I guess a little bit how hard it is. But 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.160 he still wasn't changing his demand. He still wanted us 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.480 to go after the same things and still fully believed 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.240 and you know, if we went out there and just 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.880 did our job, we would get a performance done. And 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.600 it was great that we could do it on the weekend. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.760 Because we've spoken about this. You and I aren't coaches, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.520 but imagine what forun did to get those wins if 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.799 he started over coaching or changing his style. It's good 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.840 to see that he did it right, because all of 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.440 a sudden, you go from inexperienced coach that wins games, 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.000 then you start changing. I think it's mixed messages. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.639 But the players just picked straight up. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.840 On yeah, yeah, yeah, But we also had a lot 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.040 of personal changes that where's the line? What is over coaching? 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.760 We obviously books, he goes down. He's got two hundred 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.600 and seventy games first great experience. We're bringing Joey. How 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.120 much coaching do you want to give him? What do 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.200 you want to let him just play his own style? 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.239 But you just got to find what works. And I 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.720 think he's done a really good job with that. Tommy, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.040 and I'll ask you this too. And I was talking 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.000 to somebody I forget who it is. It happens when 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.120 you get past fifty. Conveniently, we got lots of things. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.920 Apologies in advance for this because this happens throughout the show. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.920 Jake now and but Tommy someone they were telling me 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.760 they were in the box when you were in there 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.240 and they said it was quite remarkable. You're talking about 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.560 right now, this is where the ball's got to go, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.280 and et cetera, et cetera. And I just want to 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.120 ask you this. I'm interested by this. Do do you 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.000 do that on? How can I say it? Almost gut instinct, 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.840 low broad brush or are you a number counter? 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.440 I'm a number counter. Yeah, yeah, numb account all day. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.639 I will. So you where do you get your best 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:31.400 bearings from? 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.640 Oh? I just well, you know what, Like I guess 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.760 I've been manly a long time and worked you know, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.800 on a different coaches, but we know what we're trying 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.920 to do an attack, and I feel like I'm able to, 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.320 you know, identify when we've got an opportunity and where 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.120 to go. And I think being a fullback that helps, 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.240 Like counting numbers and how you split the field up defensively, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.000 I feel like it helps them go into attack. So yeah, 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.720 I definitely number coount and the. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:03.160 Fact that it helps you at nine nine mathematics and HSI. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.520 It's been a long time, so I've been a coaches box. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:12.680 But one thing coaches boxes are very reactive. Yes, they 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.680 react to things as opposed to proactively seeking opportunities. So 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.400 I like the current players who are injured or in 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.240 a position where they can forward think as opposed to 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.480 be reactive. There's enough people in that coaches box that 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.920 blow up de lux because of a referee decision or 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.800 a try get scored. I think current players in the 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.800 coaching box actually see things a little bit more. Oh, 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.039 there's an opportunity, are that players injured or they should 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.560 attack more right because we're being about going left. I 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.839 think it's a good thing that coaches do because just 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.600 generally speaking, very reactive in the coaches box. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.120 They are different bunch of coaches, aren't they Just awful people. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.800 It's just awful people, boys. But just on the ladder wires, 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.640 top of the pops, they're on the same points as 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:01.120 Penrith and the Roosters one point in four and against 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.440 one point better than the Panthers at the moment. And 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:09.880 so it's Panthers, Roosters, Dolphin, Dolphins. Rap out the round 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.000 up the top four, Sharks, Nights, Souse, Cowboys, Doggies, Manly, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:20.080 mathematical chance till Tommy, Yeah. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.760 Talking about the latter, do you think a team from 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.280 outside the top four can win it? 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.840 How they sit at the moment. No, I don't, I don't. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.039 I don't think so. The one the one side that 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.560 I thought where if the Dolphins set outside. The Dolphins 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.200 to me still like a team that could smash and 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.440 grabbing win the title. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:40.719 What about mainly sneaking to eighth spots a massive chance. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.240 I'm off you No, no, on with Maddie. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.839 I think it's the three teams. I think it's Warriors, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.760 Panthers and the Roosters. On their day, the Dolphins could 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.599 put it together. And as you said, smashing Graham, I 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.560 think for the Sharks, if they like, they can still 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.080 finish fourth. But I didn't carriage the Sharks to try 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.440 and finish five or the Knights need to finish five 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.840 or six because they are a better chance of progressing 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.520 through September home week one and then getting a team 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.919 that's hold hopefully being beaten up by one of the 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.640 better teams in the. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.120 I think Sharks, Sharks are a chance getting through their back. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.160 They're a good footage. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.520 I just can't I just can't trust them, Tommy, you 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.000 know what I mean. We've sat on here a few 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.360 times when they went through their great run and we're 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.120 going and I forget what game was. It was the 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.560 South game and the box. It was in the box, 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.760 in the box, you know. And he's doing things that 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:36.440 you don't normally associate with crawfitz Gibbon. And afterwards, when 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.599 the week after they had the bad last year, okay, okay, 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.960 he anticipated almost like intuition, felt that loss coming. And 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.200 they just do that so much. And although they beat 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.920 the Mighty Titans on the weekend, I just thought that, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.680 you know, they're a long way, a long way off 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.440 what they have to be one of the top teams. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.080 They call the Titans mighty on the weekend. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.000 Absolutely didn't see. 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.360 But the Broncos just think it's more up for grabs 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:01.840 than we think. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.960 I just I just so you think someone from the 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.760 bottom part can cause some damage and get through. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.200 Well, I just every everyone you go through, and obviously 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.080 you want to finish in the top four, and they're 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.000 the best chance. But they've got they've all feel like 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.600 they've got to sleep up in the moment. There's no 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.000 one that's really standing out for me that that's really 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.640 taken the competition, you. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.040 Know what I mean, I feel like I feel it 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.360 Tommy at the moment, the Wars to me over the 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.200 last couple of weeks felt to me like they're the 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.320 most Finals ready because I look at Penrith. I'm looking 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.160 at Penrith unsure where they are, you know, and what's 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.200 their head with Yale they've lost Jack now Jack Coogo 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.880 for three weeks. The Roosters have always got one of 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.560 those performances yesterday in them. But the Wars are just 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.080 at the moment just so consistent, and they've been playing 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.280 that final style football all year. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.600 You can almost predict the Warriors we'll get to a 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.040 pre limb, whereas I had the Rooster's favorites before the 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.400 drop of the Tigers like to be able to deliver 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.320 a performance against the Panthers the week before. Then the 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.119 Tigers there's just a big gap of what their best 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.080 is and on prelim, final Day or Grand finally, you 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.400 can't have that gap because you're just sitting there thinking 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.520 hopefully the best performance is coming. But for me, Penrith 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.040 and now, who have been the most consistent team for 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.400 the three quarters of the season, now has some huge 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:23.960 challenges both team injuries, suspensions. They're getting all the challenges 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.120 at the wrong time of the year. 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.760 Right we're talking about the injuries there for a second, 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.320 can we just test on Jack Cogaban now three weeks 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.200 the Wars. They keep losing playmakers. They just keep replacing 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.840 because the strength of the system. But another loss dalling 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.880 with teams. The Leslianx broke his collar bone. Chance he 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.240 may be back, very strong chance he won't be. I mean, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.400 what do you think. I mean, he's so important on 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:46.960 those on kick returns. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.160 It's so good. But it feels like anytime someone at 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.679 the Warriors goes down, they just have someone there ready 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.280 to take his place. The lost Roger earlier on in 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.439 the year, and he thought that's going to be a 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.040 big loss. And then cart Peer comes in like a 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.960 hell of semus An ascent, like they've just got players there. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.400 They're just ready to go death. 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.960 Cant Perreira came in, Clok Star tool Picky. There's enough 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.959 there to come a weekend. And this is the one 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.440 thing that we're talking about here is the Warriors system. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.320 Is there any other team in the competition that can 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:19.040 lose three halfbacks and still score forty points? Right? There's 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.880 argument around a system which is structured, and we say, oh, 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.800 this is the way you have to play. Then there's 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.319 this argument around give the halfback full control and let's 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.000 just play what we see top thing, there's a couple 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.680 of pieces of vision that the Warriors system is stronger 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.600 than any other individual company. They play from the middle 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.120 of the field most of the time, right, And it's 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.040 pretty simple because you split the fullback to one side, 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.920 you put the other five eight on one side, and 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.200 the half back ends up playing both sides of the field. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.640 Coming from a fullbacks position here, so they roll the 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.040 middle of the field and see all the spine members 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.960 half back on in the middle of the field to 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.760 a picky and a five eight on the other and 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.520 then the half back Harris Tova swings left or swings 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.440 right as the fullback. How do you defend against this, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.600 because this is what makes the Warrior's defense attack great. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.920 Well, the thing is you can't really If you set 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.000 five on that shorter side, they're obviously going to go along. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.800 If you go six, they're going to go back to 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.760 that shorter side. And what I like about it is 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.920 you've got someone like Harris Vita who actually plays that 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.080 left half. But then when needs you can just fall 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.720 into that system so effortlessly and you. So here they 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.560 use Aaron Clarke through the middle of the field to 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.079 be that extra ball player and great that opportunity out 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:28.360 of the back. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.840 And it's easy for a hearth. That's whether it's experience 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.520 or inexperience. Knowing that your ball players and your ball 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.440 runners are in exactly the right place at the right time, 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.559 all you need to do is then make a smart decision. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.960 So some teams that are disconnected attack, don't have the 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.040 people in the right places at the right time. The 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.120 Warriors attack. Yes, it's system base, but I'll tell you what, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.760 when Harris Tavita or Tanner Boyd or anyone else goes 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.640 the line, the backrier is senting me to perfect the 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.600 fullback or the five at is where they need to be. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.120 And the past selection from Wade Egan and Aaron Clark 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.920 is top shelf. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.600 Before we get Darren Clark and way just for one 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.400 second and I'll show you that Chanelle Harris to Vedas 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.760 try Fame Hungers passed on Aeron Mia and when I 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.079 was watching them at the weekend, like Fords and Fords, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.440 we oftentimes talk about the beauty of a short pass 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.440 and how clever it is, but what the Warrior is 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.720 doing really well. It's it's the players who are hitting 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.959 the gaps. And I was watching them, Tommy, they're sort 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.160 of idl and half on an even playing and then 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:29.040 chopping late. There's there's just a method and a lot 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.000 of work done to everything they're doing. That's a no 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.040 look past there. It's obviously something they're working just so hard. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.040 Only the said that the timing on leads is so important. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.000 But also you often talk about you want to start 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.960 outside that defend your leader on and cut across him 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.679 so they don't see where you're coming from. And that's 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.319 a perfect example of it. He starts I think it's 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.280 outside three minutes at Sullivan there and just cut cuts 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.800 across him. He doesn't see that lead runner and opens 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.160 that hole. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.320 Yeah, we talk about ball playing, about communication, money and 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.320 get into your target defender. The Warriors do it better 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.360 than most. I get to second defender off the ruck. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.240 That means the lead runners going inside Sullivan in this instance, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.640 and once you feel their space, the decision is pretty easy. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.280 Imagine if the lead runner was two meters back two 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.960 meters forward, it just doesn't make it effective enough. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.040 And I think, Tommy, that's what helps the halves a lot. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.199 Is the two blakes we're just talking about, Wade Egan 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.079 and Aaron Clark. The fact that they're so they play 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.920 so square and they just drag you know, they dragged 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.400 those defenders in that sweet that half around the back. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.760 It really makes their decision making a lot easier. Like 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.960 you've watched, let's look at some Awad's work over the 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.920 course of the weekend, and he's got the ability to 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.760 get out of dummy half and still get himself square, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.040 like you know, going around the backyard. They obviously work 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.640 a lot on there. You know he's doing they look 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.560 past us, so he's got a very good understanding where 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.640 his sweepmen are. But just I mean, that's why they're 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:51.080 self ficked. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.880 He's so good. This is why they're so good at 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.880 attacking inside ten meters. You see him get out here 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.320 and just isolate defenders one on one and even if 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.240 they do go out the back, you see that. I 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.520 think it's Harris to ed out the back. He is 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.280 able to play square on his man. You don't get 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.280 anyone pressing him from the inside because you can hold 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.160 the ball up for so long and it's created so 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:07.920 much time for your helf. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.400 Yeah, you don't often teach the no look past. But 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.520 the reason why it's effective close to the line is 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.559 once you isolate a defender and just tell a lie 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.800 with your hips, tell a lie with your eyes and 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.760 he rocks out slightly. Fisher Harris is going to run 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.760 straight over that purse. It doesn't matter who it is, right, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.720 So Wade Egan's got the craft to understand that I've 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.000 just got an isolated Fish Harris one on one. Now 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.640 I'm going to tell a bit of a lie with 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.160 my eyes. He just leaned at the south defender. Just 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.400 lean out slightly. He's playing lights out at the moment, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.720 Wade Egan. Aaron Clark has this for every rap we 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.439 give isaiaho Let's start doing it with Aaron Clark. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:43.839 Let's have a look at all these touches out of 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.040 the course of the weekend and coeps Tommy he's having 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.880 a Dali m type seasons. Only the fact that there 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.040 is a natural well, I use bias. There's a natural 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.360 thought towards more of the spine players. But I'll tell 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.040 you what. Like you know, the end of a game, 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.680 sometimes who gets the three two one? Oftentimes they go 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.040 to the playmakers more and whatever. But he is having 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.520 a dally Worthy suason. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.959 Yeah. What I like about him is he does everything 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.200 in one hundred miles an hour, like he's consistently and 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.040 he's such a not only a bo playing threat, but 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.720 he's built. He's a board running threat and that opens 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.160 up opportunities for him and he's very important for their side. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.120 You talking, I think you're right man about the dally m. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.760 He could be a smoke. He's a top five finisher 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.920 for me in the daim like Nathan Tedesco, you know 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.120 Calen Trindle. They're probably the ones that he will pick 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.320 it up. But Aaron Clark will be accumulating votes for 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.560 a team that might win the minor premiership. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.640 That was just the first half Jeezy guests. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.960 So the best part about him is the balance between 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.960 running and passing. He's a run first threat ball player. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.000 What I mean by that is most of the time 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.320 he's running first and then the pass is a second, 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.240 second option. So he's just he has come on leaps 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.360 and bounds under Webster's tutelage like he's a damn good player. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.160 Love the way the thirteens evolved The thirteen for a 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.680 long time Bradley Clyde might have been there where they 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.120 went from being the sort of creative thirteen to more 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.360 of a yardage thirteen, which sort Tellmalalo play thirteen. But 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.320 I really like the way it's evolved now at thirteen. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.880 Probably Isaiah was the first one to sort of break 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.479 that male Glenn Stewart. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:22.040 Put Yo Radley, Cam Murray, Eric Clark sits along that 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.760 and now to the point, depending on the makeup of 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.440 your team, that's part of your spine at thirteen is 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:28.200 a part of the spine. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:29.920 Now what do they all need a pass? Now? 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:30.440 Don't they do? 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.800 Otherwise you can't do it like Isaiaho goes down Lindsay Smith. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.800 Now that you need you need someone to link, especially 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.600 out of yard and going into good ball. You need 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.720 someone to link your middles out to your ages and 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.400 you need that pass opportunity because teams just don't. They 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.280 just can press up and go after yourself. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.360 Tommy, like when like watching you play, you do a 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.680 lot of your really good working around the ruck. Do 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:57.280 you what do you prefer now? Do you like that 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.600 sort of instinctive, reactive sort of play or do you 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.280 like see sequence bace football. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.360 I'm probably more leaned towards sequence bace football. I just 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.240 feel like it suits me a bit more. But in 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.080 saying that, like it all depends on play the ball. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.320 So if you're developing rock speed and you know you're 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.120 winning winning the ruck and winning to play the ball, 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.920 then it's all better off and you're just on the 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.400 back of that. But for me, I feel like, well, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.840 a sequence based team, we kind of like to get 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.840 to certain spots to open up different shapes, and like. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.880 He sums up perfectly, the way that he plays right 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.120 system is a fallback to something that you can have 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.200 something to go to. But when he's playing the best football, 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.760 they'll they'll move a play and have a sequence shift 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.640 to left hand post. If he doesn't get the ball 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.120 and see he's a fullback or a little nine stand 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.320 under the post, he just goes from left to right, 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:48.360 becomes first receiver. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.360 And runs over the top of him. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.920 That's the best balance of having a sequence to protect 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.960 and then having instinct instinct players to take advantage of 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:57.960 queues or weaknesses. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.440 So on that, like Jamal versus DCE, because DC looks 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.320 to me like a playlight. Watching DC, you sometimes like 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.320 he just take off down to two meters sideline, you know, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.720 and just play very much off his head. How different 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:11.639 are he and Jamal to play alongside? 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.320 Oh, they're very different. Jamal's probably say more level headed 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.919 when I say that, like he's got one style. He 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.919 wants to play very good kicking game and likes to 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.359 build a game where chairs Is would agree more of 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.480 an opportunitist. He would come up with things that you 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.800 know you couldn't see before, but he would go for 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.080 things as well. So I think I think Jamal keeps 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.160 us as a more stable footy team, great kicking game, 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.320 chess could do things that no one else called. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.920 And that's probably a little bit to explain the Roosters 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.640 against the Tigers. Him and Sam Walker very free wheeling, 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.280 very opportunistic, as we say, and when there's not something 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.879 to fall back on, it gets a bit clunky. Like 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.160 if you're not truly dialed in as an opportunistic half 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.560 back or ballplayer and you don't see the things that 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.000 you're meant to see, then you go, oh, we'll just 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.760 pass it, and there's no real plan to go. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.879 Sometimes you probably need to take a step back and 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.880 actually look and see what we're actually trying to do. 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.040 Because like they often talk about, like you don't want to, 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.439 like you can't try and score on every play like 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.240 you need it. You need to. That's why the Worries 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.119 is so good. They break you down, they hit leads 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.400 and they find a mismatch and they take it. You've 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:20.320 got to build a game. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.960 Yeah, on that yesterday Broyce, we're just talking about doc 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.520
