1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Well, coops, all, all's well. That ends well. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: Last week toughly for the Broncos, but they've got the 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 2: win against the Dolphins. 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 3: Cheers are Titans. Cheers are Titans. 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 4: Yeah that was a good win. Yeah, it was a 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 4: good win from the Broncos. They've been smashed to start 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 4: this season. Assistant coach leaves like they had every reason 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 4: the Dolphins to stand up and dominate the Broncos clash. 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 4: But that's one of the better performances, the whole harder 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 4: performance I've seen for the Broncos in a while. They 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 4: run the back end of last year they were behind 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 4: the scoreboard, but this one they would dominant from where go. 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 4: And we've said this about the Broncos. They have talent 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 4: to burn, but when they get the fundamentals right, they 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 4: are a premiership team. Good completion, Rape, defended the goal 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 4: line for long periods of time that second half which 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: got them the victory. 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: Yep. 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 4: And then Walsh Reynolds Stags their best players hit the 20 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 4: scoreboard like that is the blue for the Broncos moving forward. 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: There is a. 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 4: Lot to say out of that performance that they've got 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 4: the sort of season back on track if it was off. 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 4: But for them to handle the things that were thrown 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 4: them during the week and they come out and play 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 4: that game. 27 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: They are a good team, which is. 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: An important play for him. 29 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: Brings the energy like and he and Reese operating in tandem, 30 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: you know when they start to fatigue aside, And I'll 31 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: just show a few clips to coops And we've spoken 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: about this a little bit, but it's such clear evidence 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 2: how much better the Broncos are when they can open 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: the field up and open the space. Like here's here's 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: the example before coming from the fast scrum line and 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: they get it across and I mean, it's pretty This 37 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: is the sort of stuff we saw at the back 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: end of last season where they started out. 39 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: In the field up a little more. They're playing less 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: fifty starts. 41 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: He's a middlefield start, and yet you're seeing one there 42 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: and they just hasn't got the same space. Like the 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: passing is a little bit clunky, but you can just 44 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: see the spaces aren't quite there. And then thirty seconds 45 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: later they come a little bit further to the scrum. 46 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Line and that just naturally gets him at the end. 47 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: But just see the difference. 48 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the difference there and Ezra man is 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 4: an athletic player, and we've said this a thousand times. 50 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: To be a good ball player gonna have a good 51 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: running game. And he's got that running game. 52 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 4: But there's a bit of work to do with Ezra's 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 4: ballplayer because when he moves fast like a run, he 54 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 4: then his hands aren't soft. There was a couple of 55 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: areas in that back end of the second half where 56 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: he tries to run, the defense reacts and he just 57 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 4: rushes the pass and puts hard hands. Yeah, so when 58 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 4: he needs a bit of an evolution. And when Reese 59 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: Walsh was carving teams up last year, we spoke about 60 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 4: him two passes wide, a bit of space where the 61 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 4: center and the wingers are detached. 62 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: They feel pressured. 63 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: Teams will start rushing him outside him like they have 64 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 4: at different stages, but he's still got that pass to 65 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 4: get away. 66 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: Coop Dolphins are hard side to follow. 67 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: But I just want to show a lot of the touches, 68 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: a lot of the important touches from Finofil Yaki mate. 69 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Honestly, his performance in this game. 70 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: Almost every single run, acceleration just he just terrorized him 71 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: all the time. Every he just gets the ball, He's 72 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: just he was just constantly leg speed mate, and he's 73 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: a bloke, he's sort of no he's got talent, but 74 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 2: he slipped under the radar a little bit in this game. 75 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: I was watching just going my, my goodness. The Broncos 76 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: just couldn't handle him at all. 77 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: Look, I got m like, he plays a couple of 78 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: short passes off Nick Arema, and that one did that. 79 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: That is a half back stream, a back roll willing 80 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: to go head first, full throttle trust the pass. But 81 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: he didn't really have a reason to catch that. He 82 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: had two Broncos defenders, but he caught it under pressure 83 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: and still use his leg speed through I think, and 84 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: Nick Arema can really use up his combination and will 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 4: open up Hamaso because when you've got a back rolls 86 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: willing to run that hard halves will start leaning in 87 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: on the back roll and therefore create space for a 88 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: ballplayer at the back. 89 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: Penrith versus paramatter. We said this last week for Penroth, 90 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: winning is not enough. 91 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: They are out there at the. 92 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: Moment to demoralize side up and at forty eight twenty 93 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: it ended up with that flooded paramatter. It it's it's 94 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: it's incredible watching this team What is vital is all 95 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: the players they have brought to the club have improved, 96 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: like Isaiah Papaliki, how. 97 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: Good he's going. 98 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: All the young guys continue to improve, but also a 99 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: lot of the veteran players, like Liam Martin. I was 100 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: watching Liam Martin in the game, Mate, I'll seek it himself. Mate, 101 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: You've gained a meter and the half in this spoed 102 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: Apparently he's been working with the sprint. 103 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Coach, So they're just that was just a powerhouse performed. 104 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: There are teams trying to find their rhythm and DNA. 105 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 4: This team's had it from round one. They're going to 106 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: have it for the next period of time. And it's 107 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: not as if they're a team that don't have the 108 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: ability to win ten plus games in a row. They do, 109 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: they can potentially do that. Nathan Clear is on fire, 110 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: probably on the path to win. Am I like what 111 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: Dylan Edwards is doing. And if there was a chink 112 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 4: in the armor for Penrith over the last sort of 113 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: sort of eighteen months, it has been their left side defense. 114 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: Now on the right side, he got Toll Alamotti, Cleary, Martin, 115 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: senior guys that know how to defend have had a 116 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: thousand reps against every player in the competition, so they've 117 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 4: always been pretty rock soil Defensively on the left side, 118 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: you've got Pabaly, Tulangey, McLain. 119 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: And Jenkins at different stages. Last year they were being. 120 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: Found out, yep, they did. 121 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: Now they're not. 122 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: Being found out like t Langy has improved defensive McClain 123 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: is doing that and when you've got now no chink 124 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: in that defensive line, they're gonna be hard to break down. 125 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: Let's have a look at McClain's defensive performance. 126 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 2: McClain has from about from about a dozen games in, 127 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: you're seeing him just rapidly improved last year. Job on 128 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: Stephen Crichton, well did the job. Put it this way, 129 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: crichton best serting of the game. Held his own did 130 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: really good against Crichton. But mate, there's so many aspects 131 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: of the game. Every time he handles the football something happens. 132 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 2: But just defensively he's ruds. 133 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: His physicality very very good. 134 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: YEA. The ability to stay square and when you get 135 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 4: opposite number going straight at him, a lot of centers 136 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 4: will stop and just allow someone to use their footwork 137 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 4: and speed to get the outside. 138 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: But the key part is is when he goes he 139 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 3: goes hard. 140 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: That was a nice little one there. 141 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: I think you mentioned it yesterday by one of the 142 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: players where sometimes if they've got. 143 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: An American numerical advantage, you've got a bullshit a little bit. 144 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: You've got to act like you're going to go in 145 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: then you're going to jump out. 146 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: And you only learn that through repetitions at training. 147 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 4: And one of the best things that Penrith have got 148 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: going right now is when you think about the best 149 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 4: attack that left side can face. Well, right now, every 150 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: report training is done against Nathan Clear on the right side, 151 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 4: so they're actually going up against one of the better 152 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: attacking edges. So the repetition is being tested and it's 153 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 4: also helping the ballplayer because that left hand side of Talangey, 154 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 4: McLean and Jenkins is scoring tries for fun milk, So 155 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: they have a front row seat to Nathan and the 156 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: other side of how to one defend. But then also, okay, 157 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 4: how do we attack good defensive teams? 158 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: Could you're a great short ballplayer, short short you had 159 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: a great short kick game, good great long kicking game, 160 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: but you used to always fiddle around with what you 161 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: did with your short kicks. We've seen the same with Nathan, 162 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: so like every almost two or three times a year 163 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: he brings out in your style of kick. Taught me 164 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: through this one because it was a general fiel with 165 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: the left foot dink that was it was fortunate. 166 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it was at all. I think he 167 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: knew exactly what he was doing. In my opinion, I. 168 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 4: Think one thing when what hards are doing now is 169 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 4: when you're kicking through the line, a lot of players 170 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 4: sort of aim to kick the ball through a gap. 171 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: What Nathan does is see how he drifts across and 172 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: gets the kicking laying through, so he's actually moving to 173 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: the target spot off the left foot too. He's aiming 174 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 4: to kick it hip heights so no one can trap 175 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: and scrap it, and the post was there for the ricochet. 176 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: But he is doing things now that he has a 177 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: traditional kick, but he's done a banana. He's doing flat 178 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 4: kicks like he's starting now to tell a lie. 179 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: With the ball. 180 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: Drop yeah, and then do a different kick, which is 181 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: like high high end stuff because you can say to 182 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: someone that you're going to kick the ball short in 183 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: the last moment, rotate your wrist and your foot position changes. 184 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: So like if he's trying to kick a flat one 185 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: over to the sideline, you can fake it that you're 186 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 4: going to go straight forward. In the last moment, when 187 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: the defense stops, you rotate your hand and he can 188 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 4: flick it across your body. He's doing that at the moment. 189 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: It was at three or four times. 190 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: I'll sit watching the game and I go, oh my god, 191 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: what about that? Trishca What's happened for the next rum? 192 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: So makee Nathan clear is God love you babe? 193 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: What else happened? 194 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: That was it? 195 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 3: Like, what's happened? What's happened? 196 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: What's happened to the dog? Something happening the new dog. 197 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: It makes Nathan Cleary again. 198 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 3: Just doing Nathan Cleary, doing Nathan Clear things. 199 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: Knights were fantastic, fantastic against. 200 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: The Bulldog's really big win. 201 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: Thought the Bulldogs started really fast but then got a 202 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: little frantic. I want to talk about Sandon Smith firstly, firstly, 203 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: the good mate. What I mean, what he's doing for 204 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: the Knights in attack is just outstanding. He was bought 205 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: for insurance with Dylan Brown, but I tear what it's 206 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: proven to be a priceless inspired pickup mate. 207 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: He steered the ship the other day. So well, he's. 208 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: Kicking games exceptional. He's just doing such a great job, 209 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: doing a great seven job. 210 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 4: When I watched this game on the weekend, all I 211 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 4: kept coming back to was that Justin Holbrook took his 212 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: team down to the coal mines. I just keep that 213 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 4: picture in my head because there is grit there as character, 214 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: Like when the dog scored, like everyone thought, okay, here 215 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: come the dogs, the best player is going to start coming, 216 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: and the Knights got into that gritty mentality and Sam 217 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 4: and Smith is doing all the right things the ball 218 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: in hand, and the dogs got frustrated out of it. 219 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: They had opportunities of dogs, but defensively they just kept 220 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: turning up. And I think Santa Smith at the Roosters 221 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: he had glimpses of brilliance. When he runs the ball aggressively, 222 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: he opens up some opportunities that come off the back 223 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 4: of it. He's got a solid kicking game, but sometimes, 224 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: you know, defensively he lets himself down and when he 225 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: makes an error he goes oh and start second guessing himself. 226 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, he's a really Australian form of combination with 227 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: his edge defenders. 228 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: He was on the. 229 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: Left in the first couple of weeks. This week, Justin 230 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 2: Hobbert moved him to the right. 231 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: You see that one there. 232 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: He's got a propensity to go up, way, way past 233 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 2: the football. There's not one past the football. And what 234 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 2: that presents or presents Burton with an opportunity to run 235 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: the ball. He's a visual player, Burton, and you know, 236 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: takes the ball insides to run in the moment he 237 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 2: sees seeing it come out of the line. 238 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: But he's got no choice. He's got to run the football. 239 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: The reason when we speak to halves and you say 240 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: what's the most important thing for half? We always say defense, right, 241 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 4: And we don't say that because you know it's the 242 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: easiest part of the game, Like you cannot as a 243 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: half be doing that allowing a big ball runner to 244 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 4: go through. The reason why we say defense is a 245 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 4: key for half is because as soon as you show 246 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 4: weakness defensively, the opposition will be like ironing you out 247 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 4: and finding a plan to take advantage of that. Now 248 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 4: he's given up a couple of inside shoulder tries Santa Smith, 249 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 4: every team from here on out will be saying, okay, 250 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: when you get in front of Santa Smith, show the 251 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: ball and run, be physical in contact near the line, 252 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: because he has got a tendency to turn out. 253 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: So you don't say it to halves. 254 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 4: Defend because just because you have to, because you don't 255 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 4: want to become a target of the opposition. It's already 256 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: a tough game. Yes, don't make it harder than what 257 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: it has to do. 258 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: You don't have their reputation and make this blake make 259 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: thirty or forty. 260 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 4: Tackles because I'll just start spotting you and you will 261 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 4: not go away. 262 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: It makes it very hard to do. 263 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: So. I think we mentioned this guy last week. 264 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: I think a bloke who is symbolic of the improvement 265 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: in the Night's and the Justin Holbrook and what he's 266 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: doing for the not just the team, but the individuals. 267 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: Matt Croker. 268 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: Matt Croker. He's got Matt Croker playing. You know. 269 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: Matt was a bit of fringe player with the Knights. 270 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: He'd come in for a few weeks. Sometimes he dropped 271 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: back the carpl eighteenth man. He's doing an exceptional job. 272 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: He's doing that Isaiao job, you know, learning that Isaiah 273 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: Isao role. I thought yesterday did a royally couple of 274 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 2: really really clever things. He went up there the night's 275 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: first try. He takes the ball and what's really intelligent 276 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: about it, and we said this before, is the timing 277 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: you let the ball go. He went up and he 278 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: saw that that after one step, he saw that the 279 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: dogs had sort of squeezed in a little bit, so 280 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: he let it go nice and early. Just a very 281 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: simple thing, but just the timing was perfect. Give the 282 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: outside men, but at the time other times he's showing 283 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: and going. It's just do an exceptional job. 284 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 4: And I think sometimes a ballplaying middle that's got good 285 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 4: control of when to pass and when to run can 286 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 4: help halves that are struggling to control the attack because 287 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: it allows halves who aren't traditionally known as first receivers 288 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 4: to do multiple touches back to back, allows them to 289 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 4: be in a second position to be able to drift 290 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: across the field. And the other thing too is the 291 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: restart and the ball in play a lot. I think 292 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: you're going to find some more agile middle forwards being 293 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 4: able to play longer minutes hold up defensively, so therefore 294 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 4: they're going to become better passes as opposed to one 295 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: out straight. 296 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: Runners, tigers, curbs, before we talk about the side in general, 297 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: we're talking about halves at the moment, I thought Jock 298 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: Adam Dowey was sensational, but I thought Jock Medden come 299 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: in and did an amazing job. He did it his 300 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: grandfather passed away, he went over and played the game. 301 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: So we've done it under a feir bit of adversity. 302 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: But it's the best game I've seen you players. Then 303 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: a real player, what what? 304 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: What's crystal clear about Jock? And good on him. He's 305 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: obviously watching a lot of Nathan Cleary. 306 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: See that that little bit bit of a slow to fast, 307 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: very very look at that arrow straight, really. 308 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: Straight, and he it's good. 309 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: Two tries, Adam do you'll made two breaks and very 310 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: much there's one part of the major reason was the 311 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: straight and from Jock. 312 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 4: Get your target defenders square up and create space for 313 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 4: someone else. 314 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: Yep, very very good. Keep great. 315 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: I think the Tigers deserve a wrap. 316 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 4: I don't think too many people gave them an opportunity 317 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: to win that game over in New Zealand, no Leui particularly, 318 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: but for Madden to come in and play arrow straight 319 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: like that. Sometimes as a half we get caught up 320 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: with all the cool things that halves should do. You know, 321 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: chip a chase, you know, get good kicks or higher 322 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: the top passes. But if you're good at something, just 323 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: do that. And Jock Madden played within himself. Okay, what 324 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 4: am I good at? I'm good at squaring up defenders 325 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: knowing where my target defenders get to. Oh and I've 326 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: got Adam Dowey that can play a second layer role. 327 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: So what he does some of that vision there? Like 328 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: if I'm Benji Marshall, I'm sitting down with Jock saying 329 00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: do that. 330 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: All the time. 331 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: Yes, you are very good at engaging defenders and that 332 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: go fast, go slow. We wrapped Azaka numerous times last 333 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 4: year for that ability. 334 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: Yes, so he's obviously. 335 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: Got that in his kit bag. And the more times 336 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: he can know when to do that. Even if Lewit 337 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 4: comes back, I think Jock Madden could be that player 338 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 4: on the bench with six interchanges and if they need 339 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: someone to come out in the field to open up 340 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: the field, Jock might be that guy. 341 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: It's Jack Cogalke exactly how panous and it comes. Jock 342 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: comes from a great regul league pedigree. I didn't know 343 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: till yesterday I had went down a rabbitile's looking at 344 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: some of the stuff he's done at different clubs and whatnot. 345 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: His great grandfather things. 346 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: His great grandfather, great grandfather was fella called Don Bandy 347 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: Adams come from Sesnok actually played for Australia, so they're 348 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: got a little bit of trivia there for people from 349 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: Hummah Valley. 350 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Tigers did. Tigers did a great job. 351 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: And you're going over there to play the Warriors, it 352 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: must be a million things to going through your mind. 353 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: You know, how are you going to play these guys 354 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: and whatnot. The Tigers did one thing very very well, 355 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: and I think sometimes it's a lesson for size to 356 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: go right out. Let's just identify one area that is 357 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: really important in this game and do it well, and 358 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: they'll drive us towards victory. 359 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: And I tee what they did. 360 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: Well, incredibly well winning the tackles one, two, and three. 361 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Every time the Tigers took a ball early in the 362 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: tackle count, their players just penetrated the line just a meter, 363 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: just poking the nose through vice versa. When the Warriors did, 364 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: they just pushed him back that meter. And that's the Warriors. 365 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: That has been one of the real strength of the 366 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: Warriors games and just that one aspect of the game, 367 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: winning tackles one, two and three, Tigers won it. 368 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: It was crucial in this win. 369 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Benja Marshall deserves a big rap for 370 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 4: their performance and victory because one with no Lui who 371 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: provides the confidence that they can fly over to New 372 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 4: Zealand yep and beat the New Zealand Warriors at home. Well, 373 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: Benji Marshall, he played with confidence and he obviously got 374 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: that to his playing group. And as we've seen here, 375 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 4: the game plan all right, so how are we going 376 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: to beat the Warriors over there? When we have the ball, 377 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 4: We're going to win tackles one, two and three. And 378 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: when we don't have the ball, because they get so 379 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 4: much momentum out of their back three, let's stop them 380 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 4: in the advantage line line, speed meet and try. And 381 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 4: what teams do now is what they call is try 382 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 4: and jack up the player to take them backwards instead 383 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 4: of just making a tackle. What teams are doing, particularly 384 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 4: the first three play the balls, is trying to get 385 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: under the arm pits of the elbow to lift them 386 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 4: up and drive them back. Because once you get backwards momentum, 387 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: you're going to win the next couple of players coming 388 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 4: out of the yard just game. 389 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: Two cases have been placed for it under pressure leading 390 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 2: into this season. 391 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: One was Anthony Subolt, who was sacked over of the 392 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: course of the weekend. 393 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: The other one was Todd Payton. A lot's being said 394 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 2: already of Anthony SUBOLB. We don't need to go into 395 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: that any further. Congratulations Fozz is getting a chance there, coach. 396 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: One thing about Todd Peyton, Todd Payton his players. There 397 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: are no doubt his players are playing for him, and 398 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: I think that is the most crucial thing with a coach, 399 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: And when the coach is under pressure, he can survive 400 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: if the players are playing for him. And the reason 401 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: he can sell they're playing for him is every single 402 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: time Toddy is walking the plank and look like he's 403 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: about to go off, the players delivered. 404 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: They respond. 405 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 2: And I just thought that performance of the weekend was 406 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: so good by the Cowboys. They aimed up, they played, 407 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: they played really aggressive football, They went after the game, 408 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: they didn't fear error, they defended the era and Jake Clifford, 409 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: he just he was outstanding. I think he symbolized their performance. 410 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 4: The best game. Jake Clifford has played in the NL. 411 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 4: Whatever he did in the lead up, he needs to 412 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 4: rehash that and double up because they started off really well. 413 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: They played with confidence and when they're up and about 414 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 4: the Cowboys, they're a hard team to stop. But then 415 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: Melbourne stillem wrists back momentum and I think it was 416 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 4: when Warbricks scored his fourth the eight game Melbourne Storm 417 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: are gonna run away with this, but the leaders responded, 418 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: didn't drinkwater, Clifford. They scored three tries in the space 419 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 4: of eight minutes and got back to a position of confidence. 420 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 4: And when they scored that first try, I think it's 421 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 4: through McIntire. There was something in the reaction that says 422 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: they feel like they're running downhill and had momentum. And 423 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 4: you don't get that unless your coach gives you the 424 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: confidence to go out and do it. So sometimes when 425 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: coaches backs against the wall, teams come out and play 426 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: conservative because they're scared a little bit or they're playing protected. 427 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 4: Obviously not the case with the Cowboys this weekend. They 428 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 4: came out with full confidence, lost the game, they managed 429 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 4: to get it back and Jake Clifford, I think running 430 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 4: the ball, chasing kicks defensively strong. 431 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 3: Like some of the things is he pushes into holes off. 432 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: Little fourth that was it hitting gaps? 433 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: Yes, like that. He's a blueprint. 434 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: He's Harry Grant's pass pretty decent. Just mate, how mate 435 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: the vision? But also mate, just how perfect? Like the 436 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: rotation on the ball that is that's that's. 437 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: There's a replay here. That's front eye. That shows the 438 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 4: eyes and he's almost like telling a lie. He looks 439 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 4: down and sees that there's space and then shows that 440 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 4: he's just going to play a short pass and tal lung. 441 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: He comes up over the ball and as soon as 442 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 4: he sees tar lungy look in, he just drifts it 443 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 4: over the top. And if that is half a meter 444 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 4: too high or half a meter too low to lung, 445 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 4: he reacts to it. 446 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: Yep. 447 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 3: It is senterme to perfect. 448 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 4: And you don't see too many off too many passes 449 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: from that position so beautifully executed. 450 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: I said on the show last night, Saturn Show. Yet, 451 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: Harry Grant is a guy that incredible player. 452 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: He's a great defender. He's fast out down me half, 453 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: he's got great vision. He's good at everything. You watch him, 454 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: you see him surf, he's like just about the best 455 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: blake I've seen surf who's not a professional surfer, but 456 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: we found something he's not good out over the weekend. 457 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: Goal kicking. 458 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: Came me another, yeah kick, I was going to say 459 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: last night, mate, oh we did this last night last 460 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: night in the show, We're like make I think HEINDI said, oh, 461 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: there's any really been any goal kicking hookers. I went 462 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: for doctor George opponents. George couldn't kick a cow on 463 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: the guts. He never kicked a guy. And we had 464 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: there was Mark a dolt that there was and we. 465 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: Hello tell me on the Melbourne Storm. 466 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 4: So dropped another lead in the second half two weeks 467 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: in a row, three or four in recent memory. They've 468 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: dropped more double digit leads in the last twelve to 469 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 4: eighty months than any other team. 470 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 2: Yep, I think, Coop, Do you think it's just the 471 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: very nature of the way this particular side have evolved, 472 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: because I I mean, let's have a look at what 473 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 2: they've done in some of the games. They've got the 474 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 2: ability to rattle up score so quick. They're capable score 475 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: and forty points in a half in alf football. But 476 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: when you're looking to play that type of football, you're 477 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 2: going to get errors and it's going to take a 478 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: bit of gas out if your defensive tank as well, 479 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 2: So I might have something to do with it. 480 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: They're not that grafting grinding side the Melbourne Famous. 481 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: So they should be. They should be. 482 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 4: They have the best players arguably in their position, one 483 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 4: of the best coaches, and they should not give up leads, 484 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: particularly in big games. Like I'm not saying it's okay 485 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 4: to drop it against the Cowboys on a Saturday night. 486 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that, but the big games against the 487 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 4: Broncos and Grand Finals Penrith, there's moments there and I 488 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 4: think you can talk about the ability to soar high 489 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: and rale up at score, but you go back and 490 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: have a look, I can almost guarantee it'll be ill 491 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 4: disciplined in terms of penalties and restart sets of six 492 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 4: and then the kicking game becomes under pressure and what 493 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: happens when you do that, particularly when you've got to 494 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 4: lead the other team win the field position battle, So 495 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 4: instead of defending the last play twenty meters out, you're 496 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 4: defending multiple sets, particularly with the restart now on your 497 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 4: goal line, and when you have inexperienced players last two 498 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 4: weeks has been on the left hand side that teams 499 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 4: are attacking and they are causing all sorts of issues. 500 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 4: So I'm going to say that it's not the skill 501 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 4: of Harry Grant. Months from that, I think going to 502 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 4: say it's the discipline of their team, a little bit 503 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 4: of complacency. Say okay, Q in the rack a bit, 504 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 4: but then when you defending your goal line. The inexperience 505 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 4: of Melbourne Storm, particularly on the edges, is getting found 506 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 4: out in big moments. 507 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: Do you think they can beat Penrith in an arm wrestle? 508 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? I do you do? I think they can. 509 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 4: I think arm wrestle is different because you're talking about 510 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 4: like back and forth and grinding a way. I think 511 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 4: they've got the fire power to unlock and beat Peneth 512 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 4: in an arm wrestle. 513 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: I'm still going Penrith. There is there's no team in 514 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 2: the league at the moment I even contemplate beating Pender. 515 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 4: I'm with you, Like, if we're doing our tips now, 516 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 4: it's Penith yep. But if I'm a Storm fan sitting 517 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 4: there thinking how can my team win this? Well, if 518 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 4: it's sixteen or were ten minutes to go, like that's 519 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 4: the way it has to be. They need to play 520 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 4: a high percentage game, fight penrith at what they're greater 521 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 4: Matcham and Munster. I think could be the key for 522 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 4: Melbourne se. 523 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: The other good Friday game which is always fantastic game 524 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 2: of football on the Friday afternoon. Dogs up against South's. 525 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: You're talking about your styles make fights. Dogs have shown 526 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: themselves to be a side that's struggling with the football, 527 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: but all really hold up their duke's defensively. Vice versa 528 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: South in near side of will blow you off the 529 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: park with their attack, but at times reluctant in defense. 530 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be worried about the Dog's attack if ilve 531 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: camaren Sireldo like I've seen glimpses that says this team 532 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: can put it together. I'm just going to say that 533 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 4: the game against the Knights was just one of those 534 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 4: games that they didn't handle well or whatever. Defensively, I 535 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 4: think they can shut down what South's can offer. That's 536 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 4: where it's one I lost. 537 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: What do you think about Crichton and Burton swapping occasionally down? 538 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: Oh look, I think what do you think it says? 539 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: I don't think it says anything other than Matt Burton 540 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: might have had an injury or something like that, Like 541 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: this is not for me something to read into that 542 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 4: they are looking to forward thing. I think if the 543 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: Dogs are going to play finals and they're going to 544 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 4: be a chance, I think Burton is your five ete. 545 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 4: I think Galvin is your halfback. Stephen Crichton is the 546 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 4: best center in the world. Like you start moving him 547 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 4: around permanently, I think that throws things out. But he 548 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 4: can definitely have been the type of center that Joey 549 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 4: marn who was at the Roosters. 550 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: Where he could move. 551 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 4: He did it against the Raiders the other week, swung 552 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 4: from left to right, set up a try for Connor Tracy. 553 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 4: I think it was more around Matt Burton not being 554 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 4: his best on a Saturday afternoon than anything that's going 555 00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: to change moving forward. 556 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: Well, like look forward to the cook That was a 557 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: great show.
