WEBVTT - Round 4 Takeaways 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.320 Well, coops, all, all's well. That ends well. 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.520 Last week toughly for the Broncos, but they've got the 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:09.719 win against the Dolphins. 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.160 Cheers are Titans. Cheers are Titans. 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:15.880 Yeah that was a good win. Yeah, it was a 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.800 good win from the Broncos. They've been smashed to start 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:25.040 this season. Assistant coach leaves like they had every reason 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.560 the Dolphins to stand up and dominate the Broncos clash. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.040 But that's one of the better performances, the whole harder 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.800 performance I've seen for the Broncos in a while. They 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.360 run the back end of last year they were behind 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.640 the scoreboard, but this one they would dominant from where go. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.560 And we've said this about the Broncos. They have talent 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.800 to burn, but when they get the fundamentals right, they 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.640 are a premiership team. Good completion, Rape, defended the goal 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.920 line for long periods of time that second half which 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:53.840 got them the victory. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:54.280 Yep. 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.000 And then Walsh Reynolds Stags their best players hit the 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.800 scoreboard like that is the blue for the Broncos moving forward. 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:02.960 There is a. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.600 Lot to say out of that performance that they've got 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.960 the sort of season back on track if it was off. 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.520 But for them to handle the things that were thrown 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.400 them during the week and they come out and play 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:13.959 that game. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.800 They are a good team, which is. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:17.720 An important play for him. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:23.440 Brings the energy like and he and Reese operating in tandem, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.160 you know when they start to fatigue aside, And I'll 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.840 just show a few clips to coops And we've spoken 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.320 about this a little bit, but it's such clear evidence 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.759 how much better the Broncos are when they can open 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.640 the field up and open the space. Like here's here's 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.600 the example before coming from the fast scrum line and 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.240 they get it across and I mean, it's pretty This 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.080 is the sort of stuff we saw at the back 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.200 end of last season where they started out. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.680 In the field up a little more. They're playing less 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.800 fifty starts. 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.760 He's a middlefield start, and yet you're seeing one there 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.600 and they just hasn't got the same space. Like the 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.400 passing is a little bit clunky, but you can just 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.800 see the spaces aren't quite there. And then thirty seconds 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.360 later they come a little bit further to the scrum. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.520 Line and that just naturally gets him at the end. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:08.680 But just see the difference. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.560 Yeah, I think the difference there and Ezra man is 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.200 an athletic player, and we've said this a thousand times. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.680 To be a good ball player gonna have a good 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.440 running game. And he's got that running game. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.320 But there's a bit of work to do with Ezra's 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.639 ballplayer because when he moves fast like a run, he 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.760 then his hands aren't soft. There was a couple of 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.880 areas in that back end of the second half where 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.240 he tries to run, the defense reacts and he just 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.200 rushes the pass and puts hard hands. Yeah, so when 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.280 he needs a bit of an evolution. And when Reese 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.880 Walsh was carving teams up last year, we spoke about 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.880 him two passes wide, a bit of space where the 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.720 center and the wingers are detached. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.120 They feel pressured. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.160 Teams will start rushing him outside him like they have 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.200 at different stages, but he's still got that pass to 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:51.640 get away. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.519 Coop Dolphins are hard side to follow. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.600 But I just want to show a lot of the touches, 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.800 a lot of the important touches from Finofil Yaki mate. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.480 Honestly, his performance in this game. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.560 Almost every single run, acceleration just he just terrorized him 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.840 all the time. Every he just gets the ball, He's 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.760 just he was just constantly leg speed mate, and he's 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.520 a bloke, he's sort of no he's got talent, but 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.119 he slipped under the radar a little bit in this game. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.200 I was watching just going my, my goodness. The Broncos 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.799 just couldn't handle him at all. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.160 Look, I got m like, he plays a couple of 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.360 short passes off Nick Arema, and that one did that. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.720 That is a half back stream, a back roll willing 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.080 to go head first, full throttle trust the pass. But 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.280 he didn't really have a reason to catch that. He 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.680 had two Broncos defenders, but he caught it under pressure 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.400 and still use his leg speed through I think, and 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:55.080 Nick Arema can really use up his combination and will 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.080 open up Hamaso because when you've got a back rolls 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.880 willing to run that hard halves will start leaning in 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.040 on the back roll and therefore create space for a 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.000 ballplayer at the back. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.680 Penrith versus paramatter. We said this last week for Penroth, 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:09.760 winning is not enough. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.040 They are out there at the. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.360 Moment to demoralize side up and at forty eight twenty 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:22.480 it ended up with that flooded paramatter. It it's it's 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.960 it's incredible watching this team What is vital is all 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.919 the players they have brought to the club have improved, 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.040 like Isaiah Papaliki, how. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:31.599 Good he's going. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.719 All the young guys continue to improve, but also a 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.920 lot of the veteran players, like Liam Martin. I was 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.080 watching Liam Martin in the game, Mate, I'll seek it himself. Mate, 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.960 You've gained a meter and the half in this spoed 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.920 Apparently he's been working with the sprint. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:49.080 Coach, So they're just that was just a powerhouse performed. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.880 There are teams trying to find their rhythm and DNA. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.359 This team's had it from round one. They're going to 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.160 have it for the next period of time. And it's 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.640 not as if they're a team that don't have the 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.760 ability to win ten plus games in a row. They do, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.680 they can potentially do that. Nathan Clear is on fire, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.400 probably on the path to win. Am I like what 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.520 Dylan Edwards is doing. And if there was a chink 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.920 in the armor for Penrith over the last sort of 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.440 sort of eighteen months, it has been their left side defense. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.960 Now on the right side, he got Toll Alamotti, Cleary, Martin, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.880 senior guys that know how to defend have had a 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.200 thousand reps against every player in the competition, so they've 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.960 always been pretty rock soil Defensively on the left side, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.200 you've got Pabaly, Tulangey, McLain. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.960 And Jenkins at different stages. Last year they were being. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:37.839 Found out, yep, they did. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.120 Now they're not. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.440 Being found out like t Langy has improved defensive McClain 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.560 is doing that and when you've got now no chink 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.520 in that defensive line, they're gonna be hard to break down. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.840 Let's have a look at McClain's defensive performance. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:56.839 McClain has from about from about a dozen games in, 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.440 you're seeing him just rapidly improved last year. Job on 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.560 Stephen Crichton, well did the job. Put it this way, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.920 crichton best serting of the game. Held his own did 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.159 really good against Crichton. But mate, there's so many aspects 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.120 of the game. Every time he handles the football something happens. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.239 But just defensively he's ruds. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.640 His physicality very very good. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.880 YEA. The ability to stay square and when you get 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.239 opposite number going straight at him, a lot of centers 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.279 will stop and just allow someone to use their footwork 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.520 and speed to get the outside. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.760 But the key part is is when he goes he 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:28.479 goes hard. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:30.279 That was a nice little one there. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.160 I think you mentioned it yesterday by one of the 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.000 players where sometimes if they've got. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.040 An American numerical advantage, you've got a bullshit a little bit. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.520 You've got to act like you're going to go in 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:39.400 then you're going to jump out. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.520 And you only learn that through repetitions at training. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.039 And one of the best things that Penrith have got 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.000 going right now is when you think about the best 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.920 attack that left side can face. Well, right now, every 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.760 report training is done against Nathan Clear on the right side, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.800 so they're actually going up against one of the better 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.960 attacking edges. So the repetition is being tested and it's 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.919 also helping the ballplayer because that left hand side of Talangey, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.000 McLean and Jenkins is scoring tries for fun milk, So 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.400 they have a front row seat to Nathan and the 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.880 other side of how to one defend. But then also, okay, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.800 how do we attack good defensive teams? 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.160 Could you're a great short ballplayer, short short you had 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.200 a great short kick game, good great long kicking game, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.360 but you used to always fiddle around with what you 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.560 did with your short kicks. We've seen the same with Nathan, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.400 so like every almost two or three times a year 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.880 he brings out in your style of kick. Taught me 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.640 through this one because it was a general fiel with 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.520 the left foot dink that was it was fortunate. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.640 I don't think it was at all. I think he 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.760 knew exactly what he was doing. In my opinion, I. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.880 Think one thing when what hards are doing now is 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.920 when you're kicking through the line, a lot of players 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.119 sort of aim to kick the ball through a gap. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.480 What Nathan does is see how he drifts across and 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.840 gets the kicking laying through, so he's actually moving to 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.400 the target spot off the left foot too. He's aiming 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.440 to kick it hip heights so no one can trap 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.800 and scrap it, and the post was there for the ricochet. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.160 But he is doing things now that he has a 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.600 traditional kick, but he's done a banana. He's doing flat 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.040 kicks like he's starting now to tell a lie. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:14.280 With the ball. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.400 Drop yeah, and then do a different kick, which is 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.960 like high high end stuff because you can say to 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.080 someone that you're going to kick the ball short in 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.520 the last moment, rotate your wrist and your foot position changes. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.400 So like if he's trying to kick a flat one 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.760 over to the sideline, you can fake it that you're 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.959 going to go straight forward. In the last moment, when 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.640 the defense stops, you rotate your hand and he can 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.520 flick it across your body. He's doing that at the moment. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:39.600 It was at three or four times. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.520 I'll sit watching the game and I go, oh my god, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.360 what about that? Trishca What's happened for the next rum? 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.480 So makee Nathan clear is God love you babe? 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:50.760 What else happened? 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:51.640 That was it? 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:53.760 Like, what's happened? What's happened? 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.360 What's happened to the dog? Something happening the new dog. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.599 It makes Nathan Cleary again. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.439 Just doing Nathan Cleary, doing Nathan Clear things. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.080 Knights were fantastic, fantastic against. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.680 The Bulldog's really big win. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.640 Thought the Bulldogs started really fast but then got a 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.880 little frantic. I want to talk about Sandon Smith firstly, firstly, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.800 the good mate. What I mean, what he's doing for 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.680 the Knights in attack is just outstanding. He was bought 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.120 for insurance with Dylan Brown, but I tear what it's 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.320 proven to be a priceless inspired pickup mate. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.760 He steered the ship the other day. So well, he's. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.040 Kicking games exceptional. He's just doing such a great job, 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.280 doing a great seven job. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.719 When I watched this game on the weekend, all I 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.760 kept coming back to was that Justin Holbrook took his 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.160 team down to the coal mines. I just keep that 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.560 picture in my head because there is grit there as character, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.959 Like when the dog scored, like everyone thought, okay, here 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.640 come the dogs, the best player is going to start coming, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.600 and the Knights got into that gritty mentality and Sam 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.040 and Smith is doing all the right things the ball 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.240 in hand, and the dogs got frustrated out of it. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.040 They had opportunities of dogs, but defensively they just kept 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.640 turning up. And I think Santa Smith at the Roosters 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.360 he had glimpses of brilliance. When he runs the ball aggressively, 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.160 he opens up some opportunities that come off the back 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.240 of it. He's got a solid kicking game, but sometimes, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.480 you know, defensively he lets himself down and when he 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.040 makes an error he goes oh and start second guessing himself. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.640 So yeah, he's a really Australian form of combination with 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:31.520 his edge defenders. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.120 He was on the. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.640 Left in the first couple of weeks. This week, Justin 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:36.719 Hobbert moved him to the right. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.480 You see that one there. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.720 He's got a propensity to go up, way, way past 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.559 the football. There's not one past the football. And what 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.719 that presents or presents Burton with an opportunity to run 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.840 the ball. He's a visual player, Burton, and you know, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.240 takes the ball insides to run in the moment he 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.959 sees seeing it come out of the line. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.319 But he's got no choice. He's got to run the football. 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.520 The reason when we speak to halves and you say 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.840 what's the most important thing for half? We always say defense, right, 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.600 And we don't say that because you know it's the 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.600 easiest part of the game, Like you cannot as a 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.400 half be doing that allowing a big ball runner to 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.120 go through. The reason why we say defense is a 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.200 key for half is because as soon as you show 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:20.679 weakness defensively, the opposition will be like ironing you out 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.280 and finding a plan to take advantage of that. Now 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.200 he's given up a couple of inside shoulder tries Santa Smith, 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.319 every team from here on out will be saying, okay, 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.000 when you get in front of Santa Smith, show the 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.680 ball and run, be physical in contact near the line, 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.640 because he has got a tendency to turn out. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.400 So you don't say it to halves. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.960 Defend because just because you have to, because you don't 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.000 want to become a target of the opposition. It's already 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.120 a tough game. Yes, don't make it harder than what 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:47.720 it has to do. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.520 You don't have their reputation and make this blake make 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:51.360 thirty or forty. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.600 Tackles because I'll just start spotting you and you will 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:54.240 not go away. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.600 It makes it very hard to do. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.640 So. I think we mentioned this guy last week. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.600 I think a bloke who is symbolic of the improvement 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.960 in the Night's and the Justin Holbrook and what he's 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.160 doing for the not just the team, but the individuals. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:04.840 Matt Croker. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.320 Matt Croker. He's got Matt Croker playing. You know. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.640 Matt was a bit of fringe player with the Knights. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.480 He'd come in for a few weeks. Sometimes he dropped 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.520 back the carpl eighteenth man. He's doing an exceptional job. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.920 He's doing that Isaiao job, you know, learning that Isaiah 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.600 Isao role. I thought yesterday did a royally couple of 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.679 really really clever things. He went up there the night's 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.079 first try. He takes the ball and what's really intelligent 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.800 about it, and we said this before, is the timing 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.000 you let the ball go. He went up and he 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.400 saw that that after one step, he saw that the 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.360 dogs had sort of squeezed in a little bit, so 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.240 he let it go nice and early. Just a very 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.880 simple thing, but just the timing was perfect. Give the 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.280 outside men, but at the time other times he's showing 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.520 and going. It's just do an exceptional job. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.200 And I think sometimes a ballplaying middle that's got good 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.400 control of when to pass and when to run can 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.040 help halves that are struggling to control the attack because 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.880 it allows halves who aren't traditionally known as first receivers 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.480 to do multiple touches back to back, allows them to 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.439 be in a second position to be able to drift 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.600 across the field. And the other thing too is the 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.400 restart and the ball in play a lot. I think 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.600 you're going to find some more agile middle forwards being 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.199 able to play longer minutes hold up defensively, so therefore 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.959 they're going to become better passes as opposed to one 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:23.720 out straight. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.840 Runners, tigers, curbs, before we talk about the side in general, 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.120 we're talking about halves at the moment, I thought Jock 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.600 Adam Dowey was sensational, but I thought Jock Medden come 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.560 in and did an amazing job. He did it his 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.640 grandfather passed away, he went over and played the game. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.280 So we've done it under a feir bit of adversity. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.000 But it's the best game I've seen you players. Then 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.679 a real player, what what? 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.000 What's crystal clear about Jock? And good on him. He's 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.120 obviously watching a lot of Nathan Cleary. 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.720 See that that little bit bit of a slow to fast, 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.400 very very look at that arrow straight, really. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.840 Straight, and he it's good. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.160 Two tries, Adam do you'll made two breaks and very 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.800 much there's one part of the major reason was the 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:08.760 straight and from Jock. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.680 Get your target defenders square up and create space for 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:12.240 someone else. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.120 Yep, very very good. Keep great. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.240 I think the Tigers deserve a wrap. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.880 I don't think too many people gave them an opportunity 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:25.000 to win that game over in New Zealand, no Leui particularly, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.000 but for Madden to come in and play arrow straight 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.120 like that. Sometimes as a half we get caught up 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.120 with all the cool things that halves should do. You know, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.720 chip a chase, you know, get good kicks or higher 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.760 the top passes. But if you're good at something, just 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.480 do that. And Jock Madden played within himself. Okay, what 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.680 am I good at? I'm good at squaring up defenders 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.440 knowing where my target defenders get to. Oh and I've 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.600 got Adam Dowey that can play a second layer role. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.360 So what he does some of that vision there? Like 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.280 if I'm Benji Marshall, I'm sitting down with Jock saying 0:14:58.880 --> 0:14:59.440 do that. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:00.000 All the time. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:04.000 Yes, you are very good at engaging defenders and that 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.520 go fast, go slow. We wrapped Azaka numerous times last 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:10.440 year for that ability. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.880 Yes, so he's obviously. 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.800 Got that in his kit bag. And the more times 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.000 he can know when to do that. Even if Lewit 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.640 comes back, I think Jock Madden could be that player 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.920 on the bench with six interchanges and if they need 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.400 someone to come out in the field to open up 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.840 the field, Jock might be that guy. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.720 It's Jack Cogalke exactly how panous and it comes. Jock 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.000 comes from a great regul league pedigree. I didn't know 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.160 till yesterday I had went down a rabbitile's looking at 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.040 some of the stuff he's done at different clubs and whatnot. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:41.600 His great grandfather things. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.200 His great grandfather, great grandfather was fella called Don Bandy 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.800 Adams come from Sesnok actually played for Australia, so they're 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.360 got a little bit of trivia there for people from 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.040 Hummah Valley. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.320 Tigers did. Tigers did a great job. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.120 And you're going over there to play the Warriors, it 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.240 must be a million things to going through your mind. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.240 You know, how are you going to play these guys 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:04.000 and whatnot. The Tigers did one thing very very well, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.560 and I think sometimes it's a lesson for size to 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.320 go right out. Let's just identify one area that is 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.160 really important in this game and do it well, and 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.600 they'll drive us towards victory. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.640 And I tee what they did. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.640 Well, incredibly well winning the tackles one, two, and three. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.240 Every time the Tigers took a ball early in the 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.680 tackle count, their players just penetrated the line just a meter, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.480 just poking the nose through vice versa. When the Warriors did, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.560 they just pushed him back that meter. And that's the Warriors. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.160 That has been one of the real strength of the 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.160 Warriors games and just that one aspect of the game, 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.080 winning tackles one, two and three, Tigers won it. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.360 It was crucial in this win. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.880 Yeah, I think Benja Marshall deserves a big rap for 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.640 their performance and victory because one with no Lui who 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.320 provides the confidence that they can fly over to New 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.440 Zealand yep and beat the New Zealand Warriors at home. Well, 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.680 Benji Marshall, he played with confidence and he obviously got 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.440 that to his playing group. And as we've seen here, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.879 the game plan all right, so how are we going 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.040 to beat the Warriors over there? When we have the ball, 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.920 We're going to win tackles one, two and three. And 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.520 when we don't have the ball, because they get so 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.800 much momentum out of their back three, let's stop them 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.680 in the advantage line line, speed meet and try. And 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.000 what teams do now is what they call is try 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.560 and jack up the player to take them backwards instead 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.160 of just making a tackle. What teams are doing, particularly 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.160 the first three play the balls, is trying to get 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.280 under the arm pits of the elbow to lift them 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.679 up and drive them back. Because once you get backwards momentum, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.480 you're going to win the next couple of players coming 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:34.679 out of the yard just game. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.320 Two cases have been placed for it under pressure leading 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:46.959 into this season. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.359 One was Anthony Subolt, who was sacked over of the 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:50.080 course of the weekend. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.240 The other one was Todd Payton. A lot's being said 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.400 already of Anthony SUBOLB. We don't need to go into 0:17:55.440 --> 0:18:00.600 that any further. Congratulations Fozz is getting a chance there, coach. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:06.560 One thing about Todd Peyton, Todd Payton his players. There 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.600 are no doubt his players are playing for him, and 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.680 I think that is the most crucial thing with a coach, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.920 And when the coach is under pressure, he can survive 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.119 if the players are playing for him. And the reason 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.560
