WEBVTT - Storm, Broncos, Panthers, Sharks: CODE NRL Picks Finals Winners — and the Star Who's ‘Doomed’ 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.680 I think if Xavier Coach doesn't score a try, Cronulla 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:04.440 have won the game. 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.800 I don't know. I've just got this sense of impending doom. 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.720 Yeah yeah, Bill, he's been at this level, right, He's 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.400 been outstanding, right, But I don't. 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.800 Know, impending doom. You heard that, Sharks fans impending doom. 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.400 I mean, looks as though he's going to play. But 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.800 if you look at their winning percentage when your own plays, 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.759 it's about twenty three percent better when he plays, as 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:26.599 opposed to twen. 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:27.400 He's not the team. 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.680 If they produce the forty minutes they showed against the 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.120 Dogs would win the premiership. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.080 I've got a sense of impending doom as well, Mick. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.320 Because I've had a look at the status from last 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.600 week and I reckon Brisbane there's an area of the 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.120 penwith defensive well and they can attack and they have 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.760 to attack and that's ta Langey, Casey McClain. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.320 Welcome to a very special Finals edition of The Code 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.160 NRL Show with me, As Michael Carriana says always Brent Reid, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.080 all right, let's dive into it. Melbourne Cronulla, Amy Park, Melbourne. 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.080 With the week off, we just know how beneficial that 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.200 is having advanced. 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.480 Particularly for them with Jerome obviously huge for them. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.559 Talking through Jerome, well, he had surgery the day after 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.119 he played. They played the Broncos in the last round. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.240 He broke his forearm. He had surgery the day after. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.679 He had some plates and screws putting it to that arm, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.760 some extra strong ones, according to his doctor I spoke 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.000 to last week, extra strong plates, strong plates, not your 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.480 normal plates like the place you and I get different 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.960 plates men. These are extra strong plates and screws. So look, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.319 I mean it looks as though he's going to play 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.800 and they are a completely different side in your own place. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.640 Jona Peasant's been fantastic. But if you look at their 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.000 WINNI percentage when Jerome plays, it's about twenty three percent 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.959 better when he plays as opposed to when he's not 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.200 the team. He's he's a match winner match and he's 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.840 there argue their best player, so it's huge for them. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.000 It's an interesting one because if there was any shadow 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.000 of doubt that Jerome wasn't one hundred percent right, you 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.520 would probably pick pezzlet off on the beach as opposed 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.280 to Tyrone Wishard, who's more of your utility. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.120 What do you think, Yeah, well, I think they know 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.040 that wish I can do a job. He's done a 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.400 job the Pezit's obviously better started special he's a better 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.680 start in half back, but Wishart gives them cover for 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.960 obviously multiple positions, and there's been in the side all 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.799 a year. I don't think it doesn't seem like there's 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.040 a risk, Like there's obviously a risk with Jerome, right, 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.600 but I don't think it's a high risk. Because it 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.240 was a high risk, they wouldn't be playing him. They've 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.799 backed themselves. We seen the Storm do it before. They've 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.080 backed themselves to win this game, make sure dreams right 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.679 for the Grand Finals, so they obviously feel like you 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.040 can get through eighty minutes. And I think it's going 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.320 to be a cracking game. The games this Sunday, this weekend, 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.840 they're so contrasting. I think it's going to be gritty, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.880 tough Friday night Sunday. I think it's going to be 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.000 explosive and to end everything's going to be must watched. Right, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.320 So a contrast of styles from all four sides. But 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.000 we know the Sharks fancy their chances against Melbourne. I know, 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.160 really doesn't give him a chance. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:54.519 I do. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.040 I think Melbourne will win because I think once we 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.360 get into that arm wrestle, I think they've got more 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.720 explosive players get a job done. Right. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.840 So let's just pull on, Let's just focus on Melbourne 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.680 for two seconds, right. I don't believe they've had their 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.919 best season as far as there, as far as getting 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.799 to a preliminary final of past seasons. I don't think 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.480 they're playing anywhere any of their best football, to the 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.760 point of which they leaked forty points in the second 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.840 half against the Roosters, of which is a historic and 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.080 first time ever deficit of a second half of the Storm. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.640 And that's just one example. They've also had a lot 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.840 of chopping and changing in their spine. They've only played 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.240 eight times this year, this spine of the Melbourne Storm, 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.200 and for me, that's where Cronulla come into the fight. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:44.120 On the basis of just an inconsistent season, if you 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:44.880 can even call. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.640 It that for the Storm, I reckon we take Melbourne 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.600 a bit on Trust Day because I think we all 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.480 think that they're going to turn it on at some point. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.320 Absolutely, they play. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.440 Agree they played patches of football this year. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.040 Twenty minute patches of football. Well, they have been untouchable, brilliant. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.480 Then they've just been bang average in other games. They've 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.440 managed to win footy games playing average, right, So I 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.320 think there's this expectation that come a proliminary final. Amy 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.600 Park Sell that crowd they're just going to turn out 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.880 and they're going to go to another level. But there's 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.800 some guys on that team this year I think I 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.720 haven't been at their best. Look, Ryan Papanhaus's been off 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.640 the boiler bit. I reckon Sean Boores her difficult difficult 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.960 times this year. You know they're missing Nelson, he's suspended again. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.640 Jack Haward comes back into the really good football. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.800 So there's just some concerns over them. Mick just said, 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.440 I give Canella no chance. Look, I mean there are 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.520 chances because they're going to turn up at the stage, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:46.599 so there are always a chance, right. I think they 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.479 might win by ten. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.359 So just just on the storm, right, turn. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.719 Up, Yeah, just a chance they turn up. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.360 They's got a bit the storm. Remembering the Bulldogs game, 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.600 it wasn't until the Will Warwick intercept that the game 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.360 was put to bed. And if we think about the 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.919 carnage that the Dogs went through in that match. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.600 The Dogs could have been there twice in the last 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.600 month of the season. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.000 Right Mike, look at the Dogs decline. So if look 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.120 like I don't mind having a pun on the horses, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.719 now I read the form you pun on the horses, 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.279 and you read the form really badly. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.080 I don't punt because I'm such a bad punt. 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.520 That's right, and your bad form got very similar in 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.200 rugby league. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.720 Well, I've said that I've thrown out the Bulldogs before 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.400 rather form team of the NRL. At the moment, they've 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.320 were not nine at the last ten or ten at 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.400 the last eleven. That a little bit of a soft 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.040 draw and I got bagged a bit for saying that. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.200 But they did have a soft drawer when the season. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.360 But because they had a hard to draw through the stuff, they've. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:40.719 Been really good. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.440 They'd been very good the last two weeks, so they've 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.960 played really physical and tough. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.039 So let's talk about the Sharks. For me, they have 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.800 to go to another level. I think the completion rates 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.120 have been poor against the Sydney Roosters and the Raiders 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.120 are not good enough to have a similar seventy eight 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.599 seventy five percent completion rate against the Storms good enough 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.760 also time field position. They've been on the back foot 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.599 and getting out of their own end way too much. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.599 And it's a tick of the box of their resilience yep, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.960 and their desire and the defensive line of which they're 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.080 only averaging ten points a game. But you can't do 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.160 it against the mass If. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.200 They concede as much to your point, David, if they 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.479 con side as much territory as they did in that 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.960 opening half against Melbourne like they did against Canberra. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:25.679 They'll elect three tries. 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:25.920 Yep. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.560 Agree, you know they did. Resiliance was a key word. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.800 They were so strong and to somehow lead that game 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.320 at halftime was ridiculous. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:34.279 Yeah, right, last week. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.880 So I feel like that's the key point for them 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.800 that they need to ensure they're not giving the Storm 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.359 even half amount of chances they gave Canberra because they 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.559 won't win the game if that happens. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.680 Yeah, I think if Xavier Coach doesn't score a try, 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.599 Cronulla have won the game because that that is also 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.120 an aerial threat that Cronulla didn't have to worry about 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.320 last week with the Raiders, and they did a really 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.920 good job on mark down last week the way before 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.880 was back to his handy. Yeah they're handy, but Xavier 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.360 coats in the air is a try game almost. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.240 She's a free he is a freak. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.240 But yeah, I don't I've loved Cronol was back to 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.800 for ages, so you know, I caught him for a 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.680 long time the best back to in the competition. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.040 But so you've a bit of a love affair with katar. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.240 And I just think they're under road. Particularly has been underrated. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.440 They missed him when he was injured for an extended period, right, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.520 you know. But yeah, it's all going to come down 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.400 to what they've said. That that that that on the 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.280 middle of the field, and if they're kicking games on 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.000 and they can, you know, have a bit more territorial 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.920 advantage than they did against Camberra. If it's even close 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.120 to the amount of weight to possession that Canberra had 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.480 in the first half, they won't win. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.800 No. No. The other factor for Kronella is their bench. Fellas, 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.320 at what point is this one of the best benches 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.440 in the camp as far as the CIPHERTALKAI comes on 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.559 and it just changes the momentum of the game. Braden 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:01.440 Hamlenuelli has been a long term front rower and obviously Brittain. Now, 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.560 that decision by Craig Fitzgibbon to start Billy Burns ahead 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.160 of a test back is one of the most incredible 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.200 coaching calls of the year. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.400 The only thing I'm concerned of is that, yeah, it's 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.160 been great, but when is it not going to be good. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.120 I'd be playing Britain. I'd be starting Britain. I think 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.000 Britain's a class player, key international. Billy's done an outstanding job, right, 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.960 and you know has transitioned into the middle when Britain's 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.120 come on, because obviously last week they lost Tom Hazelton 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.760 and Adam fan Lder Blake had to punch out big 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:30.400 minutes to open it. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.040 But I don't know. I've just got this sense of 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:34.520 impending doom. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.480 Yeah, ye, Billy has been at this level, right, he's 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.120 been outstanding, right, But I don't. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.679 Know impending doom. You heard that Sharks fans impending doom. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.480 He reckons, I wrote you off, he's got pending doom. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.080 Just you reckon. They're only a chance if they show up. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.640 Get off. I'm giving a red hot chance. But I 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.920 would start Britain. That's what pending doom would be. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.440 I think that for me. For me, it's the halves. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:04.800 This comes down with the halves. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.400 If Nico and Brandon Trindle play like they have been 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.800 last couple, if they're allowed to play that they have 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.840 been the last couple of weeks, Caronulla can win the game. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.680 I just don't think they'll get that opportunity. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.200 For me, it's the hookers. I think it's Blake Brayley 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:18.959 versus Harry Green. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.040 It's a matchup that is a matchup. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.240 How will the Sharks view their season? Boys, if this 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.400 is the end of the road, they are beaten in 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.400 this prelim, how do you think they will put a 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:30.400 spin on this season? 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:31.880 They made a prelim last year. I think they're a 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.319 better side than last year, so I think they've made improvements. 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.600 I think they look better for the Sharks, they'll probably 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.800 call it a par season the prelim. I think it's 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.040 a decent year if they make the problem because I 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.120 don't think many people would have given them the chance 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.079 of finishing in the top four. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.840 They had some work to do because they did have 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.080 a dip mid season, and they had some work to 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.120 do to try and win through that soft draw that 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.719 you call and win those games. They had to get 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.760 those jobs done, but they got there and I think 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.320 they got rid of a bit of a gorilla off 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.000 their back as well through the semis. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.319 I'm sort of with you guys. I think it's a 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.760 past Mark rob but. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.640 Our a better team than last year, be a better 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.440 team next year, I'd imagine, and I think they'll be happy, 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.280 but not over. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.920 Yeah. Look, talking to Adam fanil Blake about this fellas, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:28.040 he says a Grand Finals past Mark, that's probably that's 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.280 where they said it. The bar So Prelium probably just 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:32.200 under that. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:32.720 That's fair. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.559 Melbourne Storm they bow out, how do you view their season. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.240 Disappointment, big disappointment. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.120 I'd imagine they went into this year think and they could, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.720 they could win a competition, the Grand Final, and I 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.360 think they'll be bitterly disappointed they bow out. I think 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:46.480 it's a failure for them. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.640 I think it's because of the way they haven't reached 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.120 great heights this year. I know they finished second and 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.200 they know that the Stranger's second place side that we've 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:59.240 seen they haven't been great, but they finished second, right, Yeah, 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.880 if they get I think it's definitely a wasted season 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.480 from the Melbourne Storm off the back of last year's 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:03.920 Grand Final. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.840 Do you think we see some changes in that roster 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.320 should they bow out big time? 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:09.680 Yeah? 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.720 I think they've got to make changes. I think they've 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.800 got a lot of cap pressure. Ryan Papa and Nelson 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.280 Nelson Solomon have spoken to our three sixty the rugby 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.559 comp I think you didn't see some pretty I wouldn't 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.040 say major. I wouldn't say major overhaul, but you're going 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.160 to see some tinkering definitely with that squad next year, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.760 regardless of what happens to I think change is coming 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:34.160 down there. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.400 Ye let me get your tip. Who wins the game? 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:37.439 I think the Storm win. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.120 Storm and a tight. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.200 One, Sharks and a tight one. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:40.839 Boys. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:46.000 You know where I would love to be on Sunday afternoon, well, 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.679 very similar to northeast the Caxton, Oh maybe an hour 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.000 and a half before kickoff, that would be. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.920 I would love to walk past the Caxton to. 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.800 Go in Asconda before Skull Mother's milk, what's going on. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.960 Probably wouldn't have one of them. But where I'm going 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.679 is the atmosphere at least is why I'm obsessed with 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.240 daytime football just creates a It's gonna be like twenty 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.560 seven eight degrees fast track at Son called full house. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.000 And the best two teams to play in daylight. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:20.360 Stop it. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.839 The Panthers opening forty minutes. I'll tell you what I'm 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.720 obsessed with with Penrith. They're catching pass that skill level like, 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.680 it's unbelievable that their shift they catch pass, catch pass, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.280 catch pass from winger from the middles. I've never seen. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.560 I've never seen anything like it. They hardly thought a 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.800 bad pass, right like, the only reason they stripped Canterbury 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.080 so often was their speed of catch pass and the 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.840 accuracy right Like, it's fullty fundamentals that you just don't see. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.080 Oh, I was obsessed with it on the weekend. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.240 And your man Dylan's come to life. It's been okay, okay, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.319 much been better. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.959 Yeah, it's been good. It's been better. Yeah. Better. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.040 Have you guys got any seed in you that suggests 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.920 the Panthers only beat up and declining dogs. They got 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.120 some calls against the Warriors. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.120 Now, not that forty minutes that I saw. That forty 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.280 minutes will beat anyone. If they can replicate that forty minutes, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.720 they'll win the comp. I don't think any like the 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.040 only side that can match them in terms of being 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:17.680 able to turn. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.440 A game that quickly is Brisbane. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.760 I don't think Brisbane have a forty complete forty minutes 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.240 that we saw from Penrith on some So. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.440 Just repeat that for me. If they repeat, if they 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.319 produced the forty minutes they showed against the Dogs in 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:31.040 the Premiership in. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.679 The comp, they will win the comp. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.640 And I don'n't hesitate by saying that that was a 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:42.720 near perfect forty minutes. Their execution right was perfect. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:43.920 It was perfect. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.240 I do think the only side that can go with 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.760 as I said, the only side that I feel like 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.760 has the players that can equally blow them off the 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.240 park as well if they start slows the Broncos. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.760 I've got a sense of impending doom as well, Mick, 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.160 because I've had a look at the slapouts from last 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.440 week and I reckon Brisbane there's an area of the 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.960 penwith defensive well and they can attack and they have 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.600 to attack, and that's t Langey Casey McClain. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.559 They missed sixteen tackles last week. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.400 The Dogs destrayed him in the second half down the 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.920 right hand side of the field and Brisbane that's where 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.840 Tony Staggers gets passed Stas who was I think he's 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.720 had an amazing season Stags. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.040 I think that's the key key for Brisbane. They've got 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:22.960 to get at those guys. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.400 I wonder if there's any flirtation from the Panthers to 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.840 start Luke Garno. We've seen him do it before. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.320 Yeah, I'm sure they'd be considering. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.280 In the background center. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.360 Yeah, case of McClain, we've seen him do it before. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.640 A case of if you're blowing up, you're the one, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.239 you're the one pointing out the deficiency. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.120 I am, but make Casey McLain has been pretty good 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.760 this year. I'm just saying that's there. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:44.640 They can exploit. 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:46.120 You just smashed him. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.920 I did, they can explore. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.960 I wasn't. I was just tossing up a solution. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.160 You're you're a cage to places trust in your players 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.280 to get the joll done. You don't make a change 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.239 to rectify a problem. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:06.960 Well know, if the guy has done a pretty good 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.880 job all year for you and the guy he's had, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.120 they had an off day last week, right and I'm 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.880 sure Brisbane have recognized that. And Phil Goodman mentioned it 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.800 on Monday Night that that was an nearer they could 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:18.160 get at. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.600 So you don't feel like it's foggerty to Moco areas. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.200 It's not as I don't. 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.320 Think it's a systemic, long standing issue, but I think 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.120 it's an area they can exploit that The Bullocks showed 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.440 last week that you can get at those two and 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.520 create some indecision. And they've got Katani Stags, who's one 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.080 of their best attacking weapons, right, so it just makes sense. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:43.640 I think they can get some joy there. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.080 Well, I'm trying to. It's find ways to not get 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:47.440 that joy. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.200 And then a recent boy on the other side go 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.160 and left booming. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.880 Thing the thing, doom. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.880 Doomsday. The major factor for me for Penrith is they're 0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.880 going to come up against a Broncos team that has 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:02.000 a better kicking game than what they've seen against the 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.720 Dogs and the Warriors, and that's Adam Reynolds. The return 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.120 of Adam Reynolds. Adam Reynolds, there was. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.400 A debate whether you should come on the team or not. Yeah, right, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.960 can you I find that unfathomable people would talk about 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.800 keeping bringing Adam Reynolds back in the team. Who were 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.560 talking that was being discussed. People had thrown it up 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.720 and said it was out there. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.080 Yeah, but the thing, You're right, i'd heard it, but 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:25.360 I don't know. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:26.440 I'm with you. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.560 So in Reynolds they have He's not Nathan Cleary, but 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.960 he's the closest kicking game. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.000 Of Nathan Cleary tempo control wise. Yeah, I can't honestly 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.760 like Friday. I'm looking forward to the slug fest Sunday. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.560 I'm looking forward to the exuberance. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.160 You've got me on on Sunday. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.280 You got Penrith. Yeah, but cool. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:55.080 I'm struggling on the tip here, but I will go Penrith. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.520 I do have concerns over. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.600 The form on who they played with you. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.960 They were brilliant forty last week, that is true. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.960 And they made so so experienced and you underrate that 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.000 they can. It doesn't matter who they're playing, they find 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:09.520 a way. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.240 Just turn it on like that forty minutes. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.480 Yeah. I think Brisbane are going to be motivated by vengeance. 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:17.800 That's a huge. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.480 I think this has been totally understated, the fact that 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.680 there's no Pat Carrigan. Yeah, the does a lot of 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.199 clean up work in the middle of the field. That 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.640 link man in the middle of the field. I think 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:27.560 he's a huge, a huge. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.800 I think there's Tyson Smoothie smooth lock, which is intriguing, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.000 but it's a it's a big absence Mick. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:35.480 The Broncos to the world. 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.840 Losing Billy Walters too Billy Walter is in the latter 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.640 stage of the season was unbelievable for them. 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.800 The Broncos don't win this game and that's the end 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.640 of their season. How do you view their year? 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.560 I think it's been a success Top four prelim final. 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.040 I think it's been a big tick for Michael maguire, 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.320 tick the Army camps, tick the spear buckets. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:56.000
