1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another week of backstage at Matthew. I

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: think an excellent round of rugby league. Excellent if that's

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: as good as rugby league that I've seen. You know

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: what I love about this round one the feuds in

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: every game.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: They by design. I'm not sure or whether they've just

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: set it up this way, but I mean games like

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Jabal Foggerty against the Raiders etc.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: Jonah Pezzant back against the Storm.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: That's right against it. Well, Melbourne against Paramatta who've been

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: going at each other all pre season, Broncos.

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: V Penrith, which I thought bloody game of the round.

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: Yes, that enormous round. So yeah, it was really good.

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: And if they have designed it that way deliberately, which

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: I think they have well, played great way to launch

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: the year.

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Certainly we're going to go through each game talking about well,

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: where teams can get better, dissecting a little bit standout players,

19
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and then a little bit of stuff of where we

20
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: think anticipate each team ending up later in the year.

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: But you've got a little guests in your laugh, haven't

22
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: you letting you know?

23
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: As you know, we lost Charlie last year, which was

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: devastating to the family. It really was, and it's taken

25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: us a little bit of time. We've got ourselves a

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: new little mate, a little cavalier. This is Luigi. Where's

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: your little fella? And he's just eight weeks old. We've

28
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: had him for just a couple of days.

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: Get that mic down a little bit, covering your beautiful face.

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: I just yeah, yeah, and I just yet, it's so

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: good to having me And people who have got pets

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: realize what I'm about to say is that when you

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: bring a pet into a house, everything like the whole

34
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: murder of the of the of.

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: The house just changes.

36
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: All the emphasis goes on to the pet, lowers, the

37
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: blood pressure lowers, the friction in the house.

38
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Don't get it's great. I was giving you an opportunity

39
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: there to make it like a lighthearted than when you

40
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: get emotional talking about your dead past pets and your

41
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: new pet.

42
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: By new pet, Luigi, Yeah, he's Luigia, the magnetic.

43
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: He reckons the favorite in there in with Luigi. Yeah,

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: I think it's Jack. I was just about to say,

45
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think.

46
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: It's it's Jack for sure.

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: Me.

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Jack got in early and really sort of cut your grass.

49
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: He did, he did.

50
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: There is a little bit of competition going on, joscelying

51
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: for positions, but Jack at the moment top of the leaderboard.

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's my favorite, and I think he's more of

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: a Louis. I don't know that Luigi's You don't like it,

54
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: do you. Luigi's a great name, but for a dog,

55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 4: I don't know. I like Louis. Louis good.

56
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: Well. For our older listeners and viewers will understand.

57
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: That the old days of the Paul Hogan Show, there

58
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: was a magician he used to pretend to be Paul

59
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Hogan called Luigi the Magnificent. Oh really, And I've named

60
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: him after that because he is a magnificent creature.

61
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: But you, Trish named him.

62
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 2: Look, I was just trying to try to tight together there,

64
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: to act like I had an input into what the horse,

65
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: what the dog was going to be named. Of course

66
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: I had no impact to with you.

67
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because you are on much like Luigi tight leash.

68
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: I am very tight, very title Lynch. Yes, that's right.

69
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: First game over there in Las Vegas, which we were

70
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: there for Knights v. Cowboys Nights, winning twenty eight to eighteen.

71
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: A lot of speculation over the Newcastle Knights. How Dylan

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Brown is going to go all this sort of stuff.

73
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: But I love the way they played. I thought they

74
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: were outstanding.

75
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: First thing, I let to say this, A couple of

76
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: things were really important that I liked about this game

77
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: that Justin Holdbrook put in place. Firstly, you don't have

78
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: to be too fancy with your attacking sequences. You have

79
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: to push the ball to a certain part of the field,

80
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: which sets up Kaylan sweet spot, which is him swinging

81
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: to his left against that third defender from the edge

82
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: of the field, that third last defender from the edge

83
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: of the field. The other thing I really liked about

84
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: at Cooper is the fact that the attacking shapes they

85
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: played both Kaylan Fletcher Sharp and most importantly Dylan Brown,

86
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: they played what I call split shapes. Two players come forward,

87
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: the first ballplayer our ball runner, drops underneath the ballplayer,

88
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: and the next one looks for the gap. Now, by

89
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: playing that shape, what that allows the ballplayer to do.

90
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: It forces him to run the ball and gives him

91
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: a run pass option. That's exactly how Dylan Brown should play.

92
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: That's how ka the shapes that suit Kaylon and the

93
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: shapes at Fletcher Sharp because they're three great running footballers

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: and that's what they did. And I thought they looked

95
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: fantastic and I like the way they organized. They shared

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: the responsibility there. In fact, I think Kaylen was.

97
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: The chief chief. Yeah, he called the shots.

98
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: And you know what I thought the best part of

99
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: their game was and I heard Dylan Brown talk about

100
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: it in the pre game, which now makes a lot

101
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: of sense because I remember Kayln was saying in the preseason,

102
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: how Justin Holbrook is just allowing them to have all

103
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: their mentality on attack. A lot of teams think about

104
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: defense wins games. Defense wins that, but I don't think

105
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Knights have the squad to kind of defend their way

106
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: to victories against a really good side. They need to

107
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: be thinking attack all the time and use their attack

108
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: as almost a defense. What I loved about how they

109
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: played was offloads. They're looking for a lot more offloads.

110
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: And when Dylan Brown was playing his best football, it

111
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: was when it was at Paramatta and they were offloading.

112
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: They had the most offloads in the camp by I

113
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: think it was about like double whoever was coming second

114
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: in offloads.

115
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: Well, the Bradman best try is a perfect example tys

116
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: of braseld took the ball up so of hit it,

117
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: he engaged three or four times Cowboys defenders and did

118
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: a very late offload that that just kills team. Sand

119
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: Smith took it inside board to Kalen outside ball, then

120
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: to Bradman Best. But you're right, Coop, there's some teams

121
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: which have a DNA that we're going to defend our

122
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: way to victory. The best example of that is the

123
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: team that was either in Vegas. We'll talk about the second.

124
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: The Dragons defend. They're gritty and they're tough.

125
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: The Newcastle Knights can't play that style of football with

126
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: the players they've got. They need to. They need to

127
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: open their shoulders and play football. And by doing that, Coop,

128
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: when you do that right, it actually fatigues an opposition

129
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: team by how much they've got to do to defender,

130
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: which helps your defend defense in turn and say, but

131
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: I just thought I thought the Knights were very, very good.

132
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: On the other side of it, I thought the Cowboys.

133
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: The Cowboys, if you're a Cowboys supporter, will contest continue

134
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: to frustrate. They had moments they looked really good. I

135
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: mean there were moments in the game they really up.

136
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: They up the physical stakes, and that got them sort

137
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: of got got them superiority for periods.

138
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: In the match.

139
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: But it was strange watching a coup. I just because

140
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: we're we're commentating breath and eye. You're up and above

141
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: the action, and so you get a really bird's eye

142
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: view of how they structure in their field. Coming out

143
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: of trouble. You could literally throw a blanket over the

144
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: Cowboys players. They're all just jamm behind the ruck. Now

145
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: I understand what they're trying to do. They're trying to

146
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: just drive through the middle to get six gains, but

147
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: open the field up, give the illusion like you're going

148
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: to push the ball to the edges, and then in

149
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: turn the Knights will spread their flex their defense out.

150
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: But even then in attack Coup they did the same thing,

151
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: and they are all behind the ball, and they all

152
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden sort of flowered outward and run these

153
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: parallel lines. Now my problem with that is, I understand

154
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: what you're trying to do.

155
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: It can be if you're.

156
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: A naive defender, it's very easy to panic and come

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: outside in and someone will just replace the space. But

158
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: the very nature of the attack is sideways, and what

159
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: it lends itself to is an easier style of defense,

160
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: meaning you defend them in the side out, which is

161
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: a far easier tackle, which again if you will talk

162
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: about shortly, if you want to watch Jack Howarth at

163
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: the Melbourne Storm, he played in the centers and he

164
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: bucked the trend. He stood wide and just charged it

165
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: inside shoulders and I know what's what's a more difficult tackle.

166
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: So I think that I think the Cowboys have got

167
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: to straighten themselves up a little bit.

168
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got the team.

169
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: They do it, and they have the team. They've had

170
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the team for years, and I think it's frustrating for

171
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: a Cowboy, for Cowboys supporters because you look at this

172
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: team on paper. Highland Luki comes back in, who's an

173
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: absolute He's scored a great try over.

174
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: There and he.

175
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: Like he's I hope he stays injury free this year

176
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: because he is a he's a freak.

177
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: If he hadn't been injured free, I guarantee he'd be

178
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: playing representative footy by now. I think over the last

179
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: two years he's done like two long term injuries. When

180
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: he first came on the scene, I think we debuted

181
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the same year. Maybe he was a powerhouse. He was

182
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: a powerhouse and no one could stop him. And he's

183
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: obviously been disrupted by injuries and in a side that's

184
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: quite consistent. I'd love to see them get some consistent

185
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Jackson Perdue.

186
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: I thought he was Perdue. He was very, very good.

187
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: He's very special player. Last year they experiment experimented him.

188
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Todd Payton did with six. I think it's worth having

189
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: a lookout again. I think he's too good to be

190
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: nailed down on the left side at left center. They

191
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: need more from him. I'd be thinking about that hybrid

192
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: role where you've got you got did and at seven

193
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: and you're going to go drink water and Jackson Purdue

194
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: playing a duel six one role defensively, Okay, they've got

195
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: some things they've got to, you know, with Perdue as

196
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: far as defending three from the edge, it's a challenge.

197
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: I think he could handle it. I think that I

198
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: think they should look to experiment with that.

199
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: I think they could take a leaf out of the

200
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: Knights book in that sense if they were going to

201
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: do something like that, where you go didn't you got

202
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: Purdue and you've got drinking obviously, and I think diedon

203
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Is probably could adopt more of a seven role than

204
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Brown could. I think if they take that leaf

205
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: out of those books, played quick, lots of offloads and

206
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: just play a lot of footy with those three attacking

207
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: for it, I think the world is their bloody.

208
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Which start to finish with. I just like to say

209
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: about Fletcher Sharp. This kid is a very special players

210
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: and you come out of sess not well yeah, I

211
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: mean look like maybe better than Joey.

212
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: You don't met the other brother. But he's a really

213
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: special player.

214
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: And very occasionally a young player comes along and goes

215
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: into a team, regardless of their youth, they transform the side.

216
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: He's got just something special about him that that fifteen

217
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: twenty minutes on the field, let's go through try.

218
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: And wherever he is on the field. That's what's mad

219
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: about Fletcher Sharp. He's literally and I hate saying this,

220
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: but it's the most true thing when you apply to

221
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp, he's just a footballer. He is actually just

222
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: a rugby league player in and out. He can put

223
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: him in any position on the field and he'll have

224
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: a positive impact.

225
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: You know.

226
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: He's the type of kid from the moment he was born.

227
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Growing up, all he wanted to be was an hour

228
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: role player.

229
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he can bloody like. He seems like the

230
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of bloat that he'd pick up anything really quick,

231
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

232
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: Okay, what are we thinking about?

233
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, with the Knights and the Cowboys, it's funny, you know,

234
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: don't put a line through the Cowboys yet, right, you know,

235
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: goes there saying, let's not just suddenly go it's going

236
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: to be another disappointing year. I can see the Knights

237
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys basically on the ladder almost stalking each

238
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: other all the way through them. Yeah, I think both

239
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: sides will finish somewhere in between. I think seven and eleven.

240
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: Other than last year, they actually have for the last

241
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: I think the last four or so years, they've actually

242
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 4: stalked each other in the ladder a fair bit sat

243
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: just outside the eight, or both sat in the eight

244
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: between that eight and four spot, other than last year,

245
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: so they've been sort of on par lately.

246
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think somewhere between seven and eleven for me.

247
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: From what I saw from both sides, I've got the

248
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: Knights sitting around ninth and tenth, and then I think

249
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Cows around fourteen for me. Yeah, right, I think It's

250
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: just one of those things where they've they've been inconsistent

251
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: for enough for a few enough years now, it's almost

252
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: like I don't know if they I don't know if

253
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: from my perspective, I don't know if they have the

254
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: belief that they can do something really special.

255
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: Well, Toddy Peyton would know himself. He wouldn't argue with

256
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: the fact that he has to at least play finals football.

257
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: If they make week one of the finals, he'd probably

258
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: be but I think there would be a meeting, there

259
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: would be discussion amongst the board about okay, is the

260
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: time to move on. He would be safe if he

261
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: reaches second week of the finals, but if he doesn't

262
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: make the eight, then I think they'll move on him.

263
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: Next game up there, Bulldogs for the Dragons fifteen fourteen,

264
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: a absolute overtime banger in Vegas, nailed by Stephen Crichton,

265
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: of all people, for the field goal, his second field

266
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: goal the other one was for Samoa. How did you

267
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: see that game?

268
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: Firstly, I'll just say this for the Dogs. What I'm

269
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: going to talk about primarily of the Dragons and how

270
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I admired the way the Dragons played so much. And

271
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: if you're a Dog supporter, you can look at that

272
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: game and go, man, they took us all the way

273
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: to golden point. In the last few seconds we pinched

274
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: it and won. Not a great performance, but hang on

275
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: a second. Dragons have proven they can beat anyone on

276
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: their day and they are a very, very tough side

277
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: to play when they're fresh and ready to go, which

278
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: they were in Vegas. So if you're a Dog supporter,

279
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: don't be downcast about that performance. You may look through

280
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: back to the year and go made that. Actually, looking back,

281
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: that was a great win for us. The thing that

282
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: still with the Dogs is the very sat the fact

283
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: and people.

284
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: Are going to give bored with this, but if we're going.

285
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: To talk about football and talk straight, we're going to

286
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: talk about it's seven and six situation. I thought Galvin

287
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: played I thought Galvin played well. I thought Maddie Burton

288
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: was patchy, sort of got into the game and disappeared

289
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: at times. But the crucial thing about it is with

290
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: about three or four minutes ago they had a scrum

291
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: in normal time where if you've got a pure half

292
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: back you just go right up. We're going to We're

293
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: going to spend two or three tackles trying to score

294
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: the try, but then the next two tackles, we're going

295
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: to set it up.

296
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: We're just going to take the one.

297
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: We're going to do it methodically, right, and that is

298
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 2: that's that's bread and butter for a harvest combination. They

299
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: never even looked like they were going to set up

300
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: for it, and eventually it had to be Stephen Crichton

301
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: in Golden Point that took control.

302
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, their only problem is like they don't have someone

303
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: who's clear and deliberate, like somebody who just gets in

304
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: there and goes, this is what we're doing. Let's have

305
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: a crack first two tackles, and then once we haven't,

306
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: they crack. They literally go get me to the left

307
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: post for a field goal. There's no one there who's

308
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: actually just clear cut and dominant, like right, they've got

309
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: a good team system, they're attacking team system. They all

310
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do to here. They'll play

311
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: to this point, they'll do this move, but there's never

312
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: someone who is thinking ahead for an actual scenario and goes,

313
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: this is a scenario we're in. This is what we

314
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: actually need to do. Let's get to this point for this,

315
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Like they don't have They've got great coaching, but they

316
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: don't have that player like a Nathan Cleary who when

317
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: there's a moment, he owns that one moment and goes,

318
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: get me here for this. And that's why it shouldn't

319
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: have to be Stephen Krichten who comes in from left sour.

320
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: It shouldn't have to be.

321
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: And Bailey Hayward in previous campaigns sort of helped the

322
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: halves out a little bit because he's a clever player.

323
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: He can do a bit of direction, jam and salmon

324
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: the same. Hayward's gone into the nine now that's taken

325
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: him away from their role. So there's some challenges there

326
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: for the Bulldogs. But I've got him, you know, don't

327
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: want to jump ahead here. I've actually because of the

328
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: coach and because of the projectory trajectory thereon, I assue

329
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: him being top four. I assume him getting in there. Dragons,

330
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: no on tit the Bulldogs. I'm seeing them get there.

331
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 2: I'm seeing them take that next little step forward. They've

332
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: got some things to work out with their seven and

333
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: six on backing them to actually get that right.

334
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: For the Dragons.

335
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: As I said before, if they'd won that game, it

336
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: was one of the bravest wins that I've seen in

337
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: my time with football. They were under the gun, They're

338
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: under the pump for the just the whole game. They

339
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: were denied field position. They just hung in there and

340
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: hung in there and really and at the end of

341
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: the day they were dadded.

342
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: How do you see that, Dragons A You're going.

343
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: If that, if that is their standard performance, Coop, then

344
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: I have them a little bit like a bit like

345
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: Newcastle I think in between seven and eleven. The problem

346
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: is you can't perform like that every single week.

347
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: This is the problem.

348
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: They're still lacking quality and really important positions, which means

349
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: for them to win a football game, they got to

350
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: be and as far as intensitive, they've got to be

351
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: at least eight and a half nine out of ten.

352
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: When you look at that, they probably played their best

353
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: footy they could have on that night against the Dog

354
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: like everyone was getting them, tipping them to get beat,

355
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: and they still got beat. They ended it like they

356
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: they played their best the Dragons could and they still

357
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: got beat by Bulldog side that they were there to

358
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: be be like they you.

359
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: Could smell an upset even before the game, could jake

360
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: even just the way when you're actually in Vegas to

361
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: A lot of players were out and about. You could

362
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: see throughout the streets. I didn't see one Dragon's player

363
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: the whole week.

364
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were locked down that they really. I interviewed

365
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: shame flanning it through the week and they really had

366
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: their heads on.

367
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: I love while you're talking about the week out of

368
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Dog as well. Did you see his controversy through the week.

369
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: So there was an only fans star who clapped that

370
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: game on. Her name is Anna Paul, like a big

371
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: only fan star in the world or whatever, and she

372
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: was posting like she posted a video of her clapping

373
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: the mind and the week gutter Dog Salmon commenting on

374
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: it saying thanks for coming Anna, and apparently all the

375
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: wags like, we're really angry that the only fans star

376
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: was in at the game.

377
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: But she got full access. Apparently she was given for

378
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: publicity over there. She's been given.

379
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: Full access as you. I mean, I'm not you to

380
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: this sort of stuff. It's a new world.

381
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: This is how oh.

382
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: But you know, like influencers and stuff like that. We

383
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: like in previous years, I've said to you, what are these.

384
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: People do and you get their influenceers? What are they

385
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: going to do well? Now, I'm starting to understand.

386
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: Well, these days everyone's trying to hunt for the younger demographic.

387
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 4: Just look at the continuous call team this weekend.

388
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Bang bang bang. Yeah, I know, welcome back first shift.

389
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Shout out to Piggy, Neil breen Dale Browman and gaviscon.

390
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah the one on Yeah, Yeah, it's good Dragons this season.

391
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: I look, I see him a good I see him

392
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: struggling to get outside the bottom four. For guts and determination,

393
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: I give them a ten out of ten. But as

394
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: once again, it is so hard to be consistent, I

395
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: have to win that way.

396
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm the same thing. I think I got the bottom

397
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: four as well. I think they play their best against

398
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: the kind of upset teams that they shouldn't be, and

399
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: then they'll lose against teams that they should be.

400
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Yep, like that.

401
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: So I'm with you on that. And I've got dogs

402
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: still around that sort of bottom eight like I've got

403
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, not bottom eight, that's sort of bottom fifth

404
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: and sixth. I still think they haven't got enough to

405
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: beat the likes of like the other people in those teams.

406
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: Like the Sharks, very hard from beat Nathan.

407
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, before we get off Vegas. There was

408
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: one little clip I wanted to show you from Las

409
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: Vegas to do with our man Peter, the Landy's handshandies

410
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: and the dirt bag breath and asta as.

411
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: Well to Greek men.

412
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: They both Greek?

413
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: Are they both?

414
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Of course greeksuse hallooey, love it, love it, love him.

415
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: I have a listener to this. This is some funny stuff.

416
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: It's from the pregame. Any of your dreams not come true?

417
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, honestly, yeah, no I'm not with Margot Robbie,

418
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 4: so come true.

419
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: We've had the same dreams. We've got the same dream

420
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: any of your dream There's that footage that you guys

421
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: used to always show on your show, and it was

422
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: like Braith with the cheerleaders behind him. Yeah, he's always

423
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: and then you go, I think the professor whatever cropped it,

424
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: like where his shirt opens up. He's got all his

425
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: hair like a chain and that.

426
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: Chain he's something.

427
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Right, there's this tiny little Greek island and there's a

428
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: village on that island. Right, pitt Lany's and Nick Polidi's

429
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: family both come from that same tiny village.

430
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: Wow, really little village on an island in.

431
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: Groose, successful and wealthy.

432
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: And good looking.

433
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: Sure haircut, the new haircut got me a beauty.

434
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks good.

435
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 3: Valandas Samana Feathers.

436
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: All right, now we go to the games that have

437
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: just been this week. We'll shoot through these quite quickly.

438
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Storm v.

439
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: Eels Thursday Night, fifty two to four. I mean, you

440
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: kind of Storm haven't lost a round one in the

441
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: whole tenure of Craig Bellamy. And they've also never lost

442
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: a game a Thursday night at Amy Park, which was

443
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: another stat. Yeah, I know, I thought that was weird,

444
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: but I as a Storm fan, as an next Storm player,

445
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: I actually was a little bit worried about this game.

446
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: I thought Eels had a lot of wind in their sailors.

447
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I thought their style of play in years gone by.

448
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: They've also at times really you know, sort of trumped

449
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: the Storm in some games. But I mean Storm just

450
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: put him to the absolute sword.

451
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: They did, they do, and let's not forget like Eel's

452
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: got left a great start.

453
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: It's called a beautiful, sweet little.

454
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: Try and they won down too.

455
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, with one man down.

456
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Jonah Peazant and Mitchell Mosey's combining down the left played

457
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: nice and straight, opened a little space up for the outside.

458
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: But I thought, oh, here we go.

459
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: But the moment that the Melbourne Storms started to get

460
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: acendency through the middle and consistently when the yard had

461
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: set made the spine just took hold. It was first one,

462
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: like you know, the first sign you go, oh, this

463
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: is going to go bad for the Earls was Jerome.

464
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: Jerome Hughes beaten one or two blokes and you go

465
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: here it goes.

466
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

467
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: They can feel that they're starting to get on top.

468
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: Then of course Munster and it was one of the

469
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 2: Harry Grant in a career of incredible games, was one

470
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: of his best.

471
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: I thought I was one of Harry like saying something

472
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: when that was one of Harry's greatest games because he

473
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: was out that try. He scored from about forty out

474
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: where Isaiah Young He come into the line as a

475
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: bit of a wide a and it was a two

476
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: markers down. Harry just took off. He looked quick for

477
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: such a small jockey. Man, I haven't seen him run

478
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: that quick in a long time. And he's run away.

479
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 3: From the police.

480
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: I said before Jack, Howarth, he's really coming to himself,

481
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: I mean Jack to me looks more like a back rower,

482
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: but he's using that like if you watch him. Like

483
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: I said before, the trend these days with Sanatas is

484
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: to beat their man once again, sort of on the

485
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: outside with certain shapes. Jack just winds up and challenges

486
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: the inside shoulder. It's a really tough tackle. Like you know,

487
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: if you're a center and you're playing against Jack, howith

488
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: you're going to go in the game and go, okay, Oh,

489
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: he's going to challenge me physically. You're going to wear

490
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: bruises And I like that. It's a bit of a

491
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: throwback center. I just thought they were coop. They're fantastic,

492
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: And once again I was with you and going to

493
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: the game and thinking, man.

494
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: This could be I've got to film.

495
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: This might be the year that they get knocked over

496
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: first round.

497
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: It could lead to a difficult year.

498
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: But the young guys, again, the younger guys who have

499
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: stepped up and taken the jersey from other guys that

500
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: were there before, were fantastic. In particular, thought Joe Chan

501
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: he's taken a couple of years to really find his feet.

502
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: He's showing glipses, but he's headed for a big Yeah.

503
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: I thought that and that right edge of the storm

504
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: has always been the go to where they've leaked a

505
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: lot of points actually in that edge, and you saw

506
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: the Eels go there early with a nice, beautiful shape.

507
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: They kind of caught out Jerome and Jackie Howth on

508
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: that side scored a nice dry but you saw it

509
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: as the game went on. Joe Chan did a really

510
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: good job at back row, putting a pazzed under a

511
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: lot of pressure, forced a couple of eraors out of him.

512
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: But I thought, for me, I thought the best player

513
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: actually on the field, standout player. And I think I

514
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: said this in our season preview chatting to Harry and

515
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: some of those lads about how Sue far Logo was

516
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: going to bring just a new energy to that side.

517
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I think they've been when they had paps there. They've

518
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: been together for a very long time. They knew each

519
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: other's game inside and out. They probably didn't look to

520
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: differentiate their attack enough as they probably should have. Where

521
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: sewers come in as just fresh legs, he's not necessarily

522
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: as silky as peraps on shape, but he's unbelievable off

523
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: offloads off the cuff player and you saw him like you'

524
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: scored that little chip and chase try that. A lot

525
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: of the fullbacks won't chance their hand in there, but

526
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Suwar has been doing I haven't seen him like he

527
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: used to do chip and chases at training all the time.

528
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: They'd come off like fifty sound of the time. But

529
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: you see him in big games like that, like it's electric.

530
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: Remember watching you guys play Sunshow Coast Falcons and when

531
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: he was just emerging, going this is little Blake. He's

532
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: got something about him. But one thing that one of

533
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: the secrets of the Melbourne Storm success and longevity has

534
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: been the ability to keep producing quality players in spying positions,

535
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: in important positions, like I mean, look at halfback over

536
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: the years that started off you had Brett Camorley, followed

537
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: by Matt Orford, followed by Cooper Kronk and so on,

538
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: and so for kids rolling forward. Then you go into

539
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: the fullback I mean the hook of positions and other examples. Yeah, Harry,

540
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: you had you know, Cameron Smith, and you know, how

541
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: can you replace him? Suddenly this Harry Grant, and the

542
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: fullback position starts.

543
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: With Robbie Ross. People forget what a great player he.

544
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: Was, Billy Slater, greg Inglis Ryan Pappenhausen and now Sewer.

545
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Even j Jerome Hughes months so they all started the

546
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Scotti drinkwater.

547
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

548
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: And even before Smittie, which a lot of people n

549
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Niko Hines, a lot of people don't even realize. Before

550
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: Smithy they had Richard Swain there who was actually representative

551
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: for New Zealand at Hooker, and even Smithy asked me yourself,

552
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: like you you learn more from the plot that sort

553
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: of senior player in your position before, probably than anybody

554
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: in your career ever. Like coaches have a lot of

555
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: influences that's seen your player who's in a position before.

556
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: You adopt a lot of their traits naturally when you're

557
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: a young player, and it's just been passed on generation,

558
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: like Harry's getting to a level now we're in my opinion,

559
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I think he's the second best booker of all time

560
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: right now, behind Smithy, I think probably. I think Danny

561
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: Verdeiris was probably second. I think Harry's piped Betsy.

562
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

563
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: I think you look at those great hookers and you

564
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: go Cameron definitely number one. And you've got Harry, you

565
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: got Betsy, you got Benny alive. It gat you got

566
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: Steve Walters. Yeah, I can't argue with that, Coops.

567
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: And I've got an early crow here right on Sue

568
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: far Loo. I've been thinking about this through the week.

569
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people don't realize how

570
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: probably he's come straight over from Samoa, from the islands,

571
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: like Sua grew up in Victoria out like played junior's

572
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: just at a I think it was Werribee or Sunbury

573
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: like one of those out near the airport there, playing

574
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: local junior footy. Barely really when he first come to Melbourne,

575
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: barely really spoke English, Like Wow, for him to come

576
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: as far as he has in the sort of four

577
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: years he's been in three years he's been in the

578
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: system down there is phenomenal. And you can see how

579
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: confident he is with his talk and that now out

580
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: in the field, even organizing defensive lines like they've educated him.

581
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's one of their greatest transitions for

582
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: a player.

583
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 3: Isn't that remarkable? And you take that, you think about that,

584
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: and we.

585
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: See that with we said that with Fijian players, with

586
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: Tongan players, with Samoan players. Is that coming from you know?

587
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: And like you know two, he come from this island,

588
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: remote island, Fiji comes to Australia a totally different culture

589
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: and way of life. English is second language, and the

590
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: ability to adapt to that and be successful. It's just remarkable.

591
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: Melourne storm at least second week of the finals. At

592
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,239
Speaker 2: least second week. Now people go, well, come on, we've

593
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: got to be top four.

594
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: No guarantees.

595
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: Is quickly season can turn on and said, Harry's enjoying

596
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: one of the best games we've ever seen. Suddenly he

597
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: goes down and at first like he was grabbing his

598
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: knee and that's where go, well, mate, that could be

599
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: the season when you lose a player like there's just

600
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: no guarantees Melbourne being able to sustain that. They don't

601
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: have the same depth as they had in previous years.

602
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: That might bite him a little bit. But I've got

603
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: him at least second week of the finals.

604
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got him in there as well. I think

605
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: second week of the finals. I honestly think and like,

606
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to have a better season this year.

607
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: And I know it's a weird thing to say, but

608
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: I've just got a weird feeling about how silky their

609
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: attack is looking.

610
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: Do you know what on the Australian tool Fox told

611
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: me what Harry's nickname was.

612
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: What who Denny?

613
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: Heindy because he's lost he has won a Grand Final.

614
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: Know that is so is that you don't think about that.

615
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: That's sad, I know, and because people forget that he

616
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: was he went to the Tigers on loan deal when

617
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: Storm won in twenty twenty, so he wasn't even a

618
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: part of like that and he's always not that he's

619
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: burned because going to the Tigers was the best thing

620
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: for his career development.

621
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 4: But that's that's your opinion.

622
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Well I think it was. He's done pretty good since yeah, wow,

623
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: that's sad for them to do that to him.

624
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: Look, I don't right, if you're a payment offent, don't

625
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: please don't don't write them off. They've got a few

626
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: things to work on. You've got an extend about Jonah

627
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: And I said this a lot. You know, sometimes sometimes

628
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: players when they when they first come in, what happens

629
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: is someone gives a player rap, then someone else gives

630
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: them rap the next person and all of a sudden,

631
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: boom boom, and they start to say, mate, they're an

632
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: elite player.

633
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: They're almost to finished product.

634
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: Jonah is still a rookie. Yeah, aiding An, He's still

635
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: a rookie. He come into the Melbourne Storm to have

636
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: a game here in a game. There a couple of games,

637
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: as you know, Coop, There's there's so and Jack. There's

638
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: such a big difference with consistently being there every week.

639
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: He's a new club.

640
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: He's trying to form new combinations in Sydney. Going to

641
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: take time in Sydney and to play Melbourne first up.

642
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: You can see you're playing against your side. You got

643
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: a point to prove. But Melbourne no Jonah inside out.

644
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: They keep going at him and isolating him. Tough night

645
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: for Jonah. It was tough night for Riley Smith as well.

646
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's really important that those two boys start

647
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: to find toward their best football, become their best selves

648
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: to help Mitch Moses along.

649
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Do they mate the eight? You reckon the else?

650
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 3: God?

651
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: This is hard again, so hard, Coops. I have them

652
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: somewhere in between. I have them in between eight and eleven.

653
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the only defining factor is if how

654
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: many games Mitch Moses.

655
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: Plays, Mitch Mos without debt the most important player. Oh yeah,

656
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: Dylan Walker in very important player too.

657
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the next game. Because this was

658
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: probably the upset of the round Warriors versus the Roosters

659
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: forty two to eighteen. I don't think many people saw

660
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: this coming. I mean, how did you see it? The combination.

661
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Let's first of all, let's talk about the combination for

662
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: the Roosters, Sam Walker and DC. That's been all the

663
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: chat around. You know how they're going to combine. I thought,

664
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: I think Chess and Walks will be really disap pointed

665
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: with how their attack panned out. I think they were

666
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: straight away they were behind the eight ball from the

667
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: Wires come out firing and you looked at the completion

668
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: rates at full time. You can see why the Wires

669
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: won and you can see why that's such a successful

670
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: year the last two years because they've had this really

671
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: simple style of playing where they just roll forward, get

672
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: rugsby with their big boys. They don't overcomplicate their shape,

673
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: they know their strengths. They just played their strengths and

674
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: they completed about ninety percent, which at Round one. The

675
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: biggest killer is as soon as fatigue comes in, people

676
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: make errors, errors in the play the ball because they're

677
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: not used to match fitness, and I think I think

678
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: the Roosters, with all their attacking threats, they probably tried

679
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: to play a little bit, yeah, a little bit too much,

680
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: and you saw their completion rate was really poor in

681
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: that game.

682
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: They tried to do too much.

683
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: They went into they tried to they tried to finesse

684
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: in football their way to dominance superiority where they just

685
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: had to first and foremost they had to match the

686
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: middle the Warriors, and they're well equipped to do that,

687
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: but they just tried to They just tried to be

688
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: They tried to do too.

689
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: Much with the football.

690
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as Chairs and Sam are concerned, don't

691
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: get there.

692
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: At the moment, it looks like oil and water. But

693
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: it's the other thing.

694
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: Like mate halves get too much credit when the team

695
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: wins and get too much blame when you lose. At

696
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: the end of the day, your middle must roll forward

697
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: for you to gain ascendency. On the other side of it,

698
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: I just admire the Warriors so much. I admire them

699
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 2: so much and keep your spot on. One of the

700
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: most important things you must establish when you're a coach

701
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: and a football side is what type of football you

702
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: must play to be successful. Warriors know that as you

703
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: said before mate. Number One high physicality, like tear in,

704
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: like you have challenge them when you got the football,

705
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: tried to hurt them when you've got the football, hurt

706
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: and when you defend them. Number two high completion, right,

707
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: I don't waste the football, you know, don't turn it over.

708
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: Let's not waste Let's not put too much pressure on

709
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: our defense. Let's just get through our sets of six.

710
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: Knock it down the the end of the field. You

711
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: match that with a high energy defense. Those three things right,

712
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: and that that carries you a long way to start with.

713
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: And when you start to like if you don't search

714
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: for your attack and you do all those things right,

715
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: your attack will come to you, if that makes sense.

716
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: And the other thing I was really happy for was

717
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: was tenor boy. Ten has had like you know, like

718
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: he's a kid and I said this on a Sunday

719
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: Night show. He's a kid that you can just tell

720
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: he and Chanel that confidence doesn't come naturally to them.

721
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: And he's had some really difficult times. You know, there

722
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: was that Newcastle game where kept missing those kicks and

723
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: I really went out for him when he did that

724
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: show and go and went through and scored.

725
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: I thought that could be a real turning point in

726
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: his career. Best came.

727
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: I've certainly played inn RL level and Chanel was a powerhouse.

728
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: Like Tanner came through. We come through the same age,

729
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: and he was always like a game coming through, got

730
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: the first grade, kind of highly sought after, and then

731
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: never really lived up to the expectation of it. Copped

732
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: a lot of shit. He's dealt with a lot of

733
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: stuff probably the last five years of his career. But

734
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: I think in that like it's probably made him a

735
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: little bit like, like it's it's gotten as bad as

736
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: it possibly can for me in terms of like hate, Like,

737
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: I think it's probably made him a little bit resilient

738
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: because he come out in that game. I haven't seen

739
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: him play a game like that. It's like since Yeah,

740
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: unbelievable how he directed that.

741
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: You can't forget to last year. The Reserve Grade Warrior

742
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: is led by him went on an absolute golden run

743
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: last year too, Like they were one of the best

744
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: Reserve Grade sides of all the time. You know. Yeah.

745
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: A good shout out to another friend of the show,

746
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Billy Smith. I thought he was Rooster's best nafar who

747
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: White was really good as well. But it's good to

748
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: see Billy Smith. He's been injured long term for a

749
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of times, and he was, I reckon their biggest

750
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: attacking threat on the edges.

751
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: He was really meaningful. Yeah, he really worried him on

752
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: that left edge. And Tedesco was Todesco he was he

753
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: was very good again. But it's interesting, I have the wars.

754
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: I have the wars. You they've got Metcalf coming back

755
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: and with Mitch Barnett coming back, that's two begins. I've

756
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: got them. I've got them top four.

757
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't have him I think when we did

758
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: our season preview, but now I've got They've They've rocketed

759
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: up in my books, like they've got it in there.

760
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: And the most important part is they'll jag a lot

761
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: of wins just based on how on their completion rate

762
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season. Like they'll get those

763
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: wins when teams are still starting to figure out how

764
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: they want to play.

765
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 2: Last year, Coop, I thought that struggled last year in

766
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: particular when they first came in Vegas and they played

767
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: Canberra and you didn't have a real root on how

768
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: Camber going to go. Looking back, it wasn't as bad

769
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: as performance, so I thought it was going to be.

770
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: But when I said it's important to understand what sort

771
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: of football side you are in that game, they've just

772
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: ventured away from how they should play. It was almost

773
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: like Andrew Andrew webs took it, dipped his time in

774
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: the wood and said, are we in a position now

775
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: to starting to open up our attack?

776
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 3: And they weren't.

777
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: Now he's returned to the well, and that gives me

778
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 2: great confidence that they're going to have a really big season,

779
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: given the fact that you know what you saw the

780
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: other night. There was nothing chancing about the way they

781
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: played though on methodical.

782
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: To me, I've still got the Roosters top four. I think.

783
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: I think they didn't play their best on the weekend,

784
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: but knowing what that spine and Reese Robson came back

785
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: in soon, knowing what that's spineal like, I've got no

786
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: doubt that Teddy Chaz walks in and get in there

787
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: and brick by brick, they're just going to better themselves

788
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: each week.

789
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't see him really see them top four.

790
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: I've seen this too much with the Roosters, mate, you know,

791
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: I've got them anywhere from anywhere, from five tonight, So you.

792
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: Got it, they're even a chance to miss the eight

793
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Dolly parton.

794
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: Working five to.

795
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: That's Cooper nowadays.

796
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,239
Speaker 1: I was fed to ten working five to before they

797
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: had a fight and dismantled the show.

798
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: Well, it's like me on Sunday nights working six to seven.

799
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: A way to me six.

800
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: Okay, let's stop being weird. Broncos v. Penrith straight off

801
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: this game on the Friday night Penrith twenty six the

802
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: Broncos nil. When was the last time we've seen a

803
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Premiers come back the next year and get beat round one,

804
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: but not only beat held to zero?

805
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: Matthew, not till nine and fifties.

806
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.

807
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: It is, well, they played against the team that are

808
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: well equipped to do it. One of my favorite songs

809
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: from and Jacks from the Great Ted Nugent is that stranglehold.

810
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't a good bloke though, was he ten.

811
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: We don't necessarily agree with these politics, but I don't

812
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: know him as a man. I don't know, but they

813
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: just choked him out. I strangled them every time they

814
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: gave the Broncos the ball. Just ninety percent of the

815
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: ball of Broncos got when they are coming off their

816
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: own out of their own ten modle line. They were

817
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: just so goody and it just frustrated the Broncos so much.

818
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: It was difficult conditions to start with, really humid and slippery,

819
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: but they just attacked them with their defense. They gave

820
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: the Broncos nothing. They gave him nothing. They made him

821
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 2: work for everything. And the thing about the Panthers why

822
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: they have such an advantage on other sides is they

823
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 2: don't have to do much with the football now. All

824
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: they have to do is oftentimes and you see that

825
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: in that game, they play simple work Nathan in the

826
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: position for an attacking kick and if he gets you know,

827
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 2: if you get him in position regularly all the time

828
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: for attacking kicks during the game, they'll win ninety five

829
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: times out of one hundred and the other five times

830
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: they're unlucky. And that's the other night you saw that

831
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: Broncos make an error. They marched down attacking kick from

832
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: Nathan and invariably he get a result one way, shape

833
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: or for him.

834
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: And I think I said in the preseason preview're talking

835
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: about the Broncos, how they were going to come in under,

836
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I said, I think we were talking about where they

837
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: win again, and I said no, and I thought they

838
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: were going to come in underdone based on you finished

839
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: really late in the Grand Final. A lot of their

840
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: boys played World Cup. They didn't come back to preseason

841
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: until about January. I think that game was a good

842
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: example of probably where they were at based on the

843
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: amount of work they've been able to get in in

844
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: the short time they've had. I think they were a

845
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: little bit they just weren't up to it physically like Penrith.

846
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: Penrith gave it to him. They completed high and they

847
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: didn't give him an inch. And like you said with

848
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Penris attack, the try that Dylan Edwards scored was a

849
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: really good example of it. Like they got a half

850
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: a quick play the ball and then all they did

851
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: was they just the most simple block shape. They actually

852
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: didn't hold anyone up. They just gave Dylan Ards early

853
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: ball and they actually had a number down and he

854
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: just went right foot beat Jack Krzewski and he scored

855
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: in the first half. Like it was really simple. They

856
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: can make really they make defenses just mistackles one on one.

857
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: They're really good at just putting a lot of fatigue

858
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: in and then scoring really tries that look really simple

859
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: and easy to the naked eye. You go, howd they

860
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: score that? But they've the work's been done for the

861
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 1: last twenty minutes.

862
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: Well that's right, they just burned them out. In fact,

863
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: that try looks so easy that they went back and

864
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: they had two looks at it. There must have been

865
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: an obstruction there was. Corey Pakes just couldn't get across

866
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: because it was just so fatigued.

867
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 3: I have the I have.

868
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 2: I've got the Panthers Z Grand Final day and I've

869
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: got them winning the competition, the Broncos, they've got a

870
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: lot to enjoy, Like I cannot. You turn on the radio,

871
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: you open the newspaper. There was just already so much

872
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 2: pressure on Madge. You anybody just give me a break

873
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: here for one second. Like he won the competition right

874
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: now that people are determined to tie the pain thing

875
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: to match. Okay, there might be something to do with it, right,

876
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: but that's Madge's methods. You can't say you don't hire

877
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Imagine and then go, hey Madge, mate, world, don't we

878
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: won the Grand Final?

879
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: Now take it easy on them. When you hire a matche,

880
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: you hire the regime.

881
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: Right, get off his back, And who's not to say

882
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: that Pain like it doesn't matter who the coach was

883
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: after he won a premiership. Pain might have just wanted

884
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: to move back this side, and like he's made a

885
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: decision for his family or I wanted to be closer.

886
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: Who who's to say it is because of the match,

887
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: because it could have happened with any coach.

888
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

889
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: The facts are Madge one of comp last year with

890
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: the Bronco side who the year before underperformed all year.

891
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, He's got them back. He

892
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: unlocked their strengths that everybody knew the potential they had.

893
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: He managed to do that.

894
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: And two thirds of last season, the competition he won,

895
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: he was under pressure. Now two thirds of that season

896
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: people saying it mate, they're overing, it's done. You know

897
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 2: it wouldn't work. They went to twelfth at one point.

898
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: And I remember when he went to the Harbor Cruz

899
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: and that people saying, you know, like you know, and

900
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 2: Buzz was saying it, and fair play to Buzz. That's

901
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: what Buzz does. You know he has an opinion on stuff.

902
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: Is that you know, people saying may he went for

903
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: Harbor Cruz. That's ridiculous. What people don't understand was that

904
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: Madge wrote down at that point he realized they had

905
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: to win a number of games in a row to

906
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: crack to make finals, and a little bit more on

907
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: top of that, which is almost like had to win

908
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the games to be top four.

909
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Now when they went on the Harbor Cruz, there's a

910
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: young guy who lives in Sydney who has an American passport,

911
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: and he was the brains behind the American team in

912
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: the Americans Cup coming from eight or seven nil down

913
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: to win the America's Cup over New Zealand eight seven.

914
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 2: That's why they went the play. He told the boys

915
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: the importance of the narrative. What is the narrative that

916
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 2: wants you to win? This is going to defy the odds.

917
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: That young guy, what he masterminded with the America's Cup

918
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: was that they only need one more to win the

919
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: New zeald In side. So they got They brought in

920
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: this massive boat almost.

921
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 3: Like you know what do you call them super yacht?

922
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 3: Like a super yacht to sit.

923
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: In the harbor waiting to win. It cost him three

924
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars every day to keep there. His thing

925
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 2: was okay to his American team, let's not worry about

926
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: let's not worry about the result or how many we're

927
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: gonna win. Let's just make sure every single day, every

928
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: race we win is costing them three hundred thousand dollars.

929
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: They end up winning at eight seven. So that was

930
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: what Madge went through to the Grand Final. That's what

931
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: the Harbor cruise was about.

932
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: Well, you got his number, cover, they get him on.

933
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 2: I have got his number, you get him on, Yep,

934
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 2: we'll get him on this week. What's he doing of

935
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: her For the Broncos. I've got the Broncos anywhere from

936
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 2: three to six.

937
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I got I got Broncos making

938
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: the top eight. But I think they're going to sit

939
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: four to eight. And I think if there's ever a

940
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: team who's going to win from outside the eight, if

941
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: they're peaking in finals, they're the ones to do it.

942
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: And like with I'm with I think Penrith. I think

943
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: they're going to finish probably my premiers Penrith for me

944
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: next game vers your Titans, Daddy, Yeah, oh fifty to ten, yes,

945
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: which was not I think coming off the back of

946
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: those trial forms probably probably didn't see it coming as

947
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: much as a Titans fan. But Sharks were really good.

948
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: Sharks are really good.

949
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: When you go to Shark Park against the Sharks, particularly

950
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: early Susan, they want to make a statement, and they're

951
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: determined this year to show their fans and everybody were

952
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: ready to take the next step. They're going to be

953
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: sky high. To match that, you have got to be

954
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: sky high emotionally, in energy, you've got to be tip top.

955
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, I'll sit with Jack, you know,

956
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: Jack will watching and jackal testament to this first set.

957
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: I went, we're in trouble. Yeah, I could to suit

958
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: the first set. There was just they just didn't defend

959
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 2: with the same energy. Now, okay, let's talk about trial football.

960
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: People are saying, oh, you just dismissed trials. There's nothing there. No,

961
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 2: you don't totally dismiss it, because what it does with trials,

962
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: what you're doing your trialing to say, do our methods work.

963
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: What Hannay put in place, he showed in the trial games,

964
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 2: this works, it works. The second thing you're looking for

965
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 2: is hot is really strong defense, because defense mirrors will

966
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: Defense shows your attitude and your determination. What do you

967
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: make for the season so there was a lot to

968
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: take out for the Titans. In my opinion, I think

969
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is the collective. One of the

970
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 2: dangers of the trial game of football, particularly teams who

971
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: are trying to make a statement, is that when they

972
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: have really good trials the two weeks going into round one,

973
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 2: they sort of go, we're set.

974
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 4: Same thing as Newcastle with the one hundred percent. I

975
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 4: feel like trials are really good to get a gauge

976
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: on where you can be in the season, your capabilities.

977
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: But I feel like trials are really terrible gauze for

978
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 4: round one.

979
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 3: That's right where the very top sides jack what they do.

980
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: What they do is they go away.

981
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: Even if they're really good in the troll games, they

982
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: continue to tinker and test themselves in that two weeks.

983
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: So I think it's a really great learning experience for.

984
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 3: The young time.

985
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: It's funny, right because Jeromes Hughes actually said it after

986
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: their game talking about trial form so Melbourne, he said,

987
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: leading up to like a Wednesday of a trial week,

988
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: they were still getting flogged, right, So a lot of

989
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: the players were going to the trial game still saw

990
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: from being flogged during the week. Probably it wasn't until

991
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: literally round one where they've tape it off, they've done

992
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: their work, and they go right in now where now

993
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: this is our season. Whereas I feel like a lot

994
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: of those other sides because I think a lot like

995
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: like I look at the sidelight the Titans, I don't

996
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: think they would have settled on their clear seventeen even

997
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: leading the trials, because you go into a new club,

998
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: Josh Hannah, a club that's been struggling, and you want

999
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: to encourage boys. Every position's up for grapes. I want

1000
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: to show how hungry you all are, and you saw

1001
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: how hungry individuals were in those trials. They're in there

1002
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: bashing blokes, they're showing our hungry they are in defense.

1003
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Some blokes get debuts in round one because of how

1004
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: well they played. And then I think there's a little

1005
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: bit of complacency where they get in there. They fought

1006
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: so hard attitude wise to trials. Mentally, they've been so

1007
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: up for those trials. They come into round one, it's like, yes,

1008
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: I've made it, and that complacency leading in a week

1009
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: that sort of creeps into a whole plane.

1010
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 3: Hadn't trilled.

1011
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 2: I believe he had tried and the other one who's losing,

1012
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: losing half back Jaden Campbell that you know that's a

1013
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 2: tough one as well. But I'm telling you now, like

1014
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: and let's move sorry to the Shark. Sharks with magnificently

1015
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: unbelievable they the Titans just couldn't control the middle and

1016
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: that's the challenge.

1017
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: Mate.

1018
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: When Adam fer he just speaks for himself. He's one

1019
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: of the best middlemen of all time. But Tommy Hazel bloody,

1020
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: he was really good as well as those young forwards.

1021
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: They're really tip top and they played with it like

1022
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: when they scored early. Jack said to me, don't worry

1023
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: too much that we see this from the Sharks. They

1024
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: get off quick and oftentimes they can sort of take

1025
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: the foot off. They never took the foot off right.

1026
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: This is their new attitude. This is they picked that

1027
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: up at the back end of last year. They all

1028
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: missed a nice guy and you see that there was

1029
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: a bit of sledging and they were rubbing the Titans

1030
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: nose in it. I'm a Sharks fan.

1031
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 3: I like that. It's a new attitude. Sharkis.

1032
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: I see them, I see them anything from a bit

1033
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 2: like Broncos. I see them anything from three six.

1034
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: I've got Shark's top four. I thought how I thought

1035
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: Nico and Trindle that was as best as a game

1036
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I've seen them combine on for a long time. I

1037
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: think they've always kind of it's like they've been tugging

1038
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: a little bit at each other, like they've been fighting

1039
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: a little bit for seven six six. That's what happens

1040
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: with six and sevens man, weird seeing you do it,

1041
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: but I think their spine combines you. I think they

1042
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: finally found their dynamic with how they want to unlock

1043
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: the middle and bring Blake Brailey out. I think Blake

1044
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: Brailey so it's back into last year he was he

1045
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: was the second best hooker in the colm. I think

1046
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: he's picked up where he's left off and when he's running,

1047
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: he opens the game up so well for Tricky and

1048
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: for Nico. So I think I've got them top four Titans.

1049
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't really know where they're sitting really

1050
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: at the moment. I think they're going to have to

1051
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: like we saw in the Trolls. I think they just

1052
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: have the mentality. Look at last year Jason Rowles went

1053
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: at the years they got beat by sixty round one

1054
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: by Melbourne Storm. They just got better every week. For

1055
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: the Titans, it's it's let's get let's make sure the

1056
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: next week we improved little by little and we get

1057
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: it better every single week, because that's the only way

1058
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: that you're going to turn around a whole culture.

1059
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 3: Yep. Now without a doubt.

1060
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: As I said before, I guarantee just seeing what they're

1061
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 2: about and no one Hannay as a coach watching Hanne's

1062
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: methods is they will not finish bottom.

1063
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Four twenty nine to twenty eight. Raiders v. Manly a

1064
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: great finish, but a blodder of the game the first

1065
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, but ended up with one of the great finishes.

1066
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: Jamal fogged against his old side Ethan Sanders, a young half.

1067
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: I thought he had an outstanding game. Ethan Sanders. I

1068
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: thought the first ten minutes Raiders barely touched the ball.

1069
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: It looks like you can as a Manly fan as

1070
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: a boy that's played at Brookie Oval, and I think

1071
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: a lot of Manly fans who might be listening to

1072
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: this will understand this. They find another leg at Brookie Oval.

1073
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: They're sitting there. You can tell whether they're going to

1074
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: win in the first ten minutes and that first ten

1075
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: minutes you go mainly are all over this like Turbo

1076
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: is in everything. Turbo scored an early try. Turbo looked

1077
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: really good or game. I thought he did back to

1078
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: his explosive best. But then they just after that, they

1079
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: just went They just didn't fire a shot.

1080
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 2: Cooper, I'm actually a little different to you. I watched Manly.

1081
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: I think Manley's DNA at home too much is looked

1082
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: fantastic in the first twenty minutes, like sideline to sideline,

1083
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: Chris passing and then whatever. As he closed to halftime,

1084
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 2: that just they come off. Now they might hang on

1085
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: and win, but they just they come off in the

1086
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: second half. They almost go into protection mode. They've just

1087
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: got to keep playing football. They just got to keep

1088
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: playing now in this game, as you said before, terrific start,

1089
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought, I thought, actually Foggedy had a strong game.

1090
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Like to like for Foggedy is what he did for

1091
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: other players, because you know, chairs was the guy who

1092
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: played more off the top of his head and made

1093
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: Turbo have to do more talk and organization. I thought

1094
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: Foggedy he's a very neat, well organized player. Freed up Tom,

1095
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: which is a great sign. But yeah, the game looked

1096
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 2: like it was well away from twenty eight to fourteen.

1097
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: But give me and Jack sitting on the couch and

1098
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: when Manly scored that try and ended up going twenty

1099
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: eight twenty, I said that Jack Greenstein finish coming. You

1100
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: just see it all the time, like we're watching the

1101
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: game with Fletcher and Heindi and Josh d Okay with

1102
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: Foxy in there, Dolphins against Rabbits, Rabbits, And I said,

1103
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 2: there used to be a time that when a team

1104
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: was up fourteen points with ten minutes to go, you

1105
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: go right, let's get a couple of blakes and give

1106
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: the young fellers.

1107
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: You can't do that, you cannot, you can. It must

1108
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: say it's a bad day and age to be a

1109
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: bloke on the bench because it can change that quickly.

1110
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: In today's game, with the six agains, you can literally

1111
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: score two tries in the space of four minutes. Like

1112
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: it's so quick. And you saw that, like they hit

1113
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Coller out on their left edge. I thought the

1114
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: best sign was then for Turbo. You saw Turbo just

1115
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: mowdown Toller so quickly. Beat A couple of players found

1116
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: Foggedy for a try, but the Ethan Sanders field goal.

1117
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: I thought as a as a Manly as. Obviously I'm

1118
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: partially a bit of a Manly fan. I used to

1119
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: play there, but I thought it was really worrying. Signs

1120
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: fifth tackle in goal in overtime and Ethan Sanders gets

1121
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: it not even not even that deep. He wasn't ten meters.

1122
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: He was on the advantage line, and there's no kick

1123
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: pressure from the Many side, Like that's that's not how

1124
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: the DNA of Manly when they play it at home

1125
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: at the Fortress is like, we make this a hard

1126
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: place for people to come play. We make this a

1127
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: gritty If they're going to win, they're gonna have to

1128
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: like we're not beating ourselves. We are making this really hard.

1129
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: That was not a side it was hungry to win

1130
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: at the Fortress.

1131
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 4: I actually think Sanders probably out smarter than there, Like

1132
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 4: it could have been a game plan, Like I think

1133
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 4: that like when people set up for the field go

1134
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 4: and you see the half getting back, that's when all

1135
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 4: systems ago, whatever structure defensively you have, you you don't

1136
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 4: go out of it like you sorry, you just exit

1137
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 4: that and you just go for the kicker, right, Like

1138
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 4: that's that's all the plan goes to shit. You just

1139
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 4: go for him, right, And the main part is like,

1140
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 4: because you were so flat, they got off like the

1141
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 4: first three steps, but they didn't actually pressure it. Yeah,

1142
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 4: it might be right.

1143
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they thought like when you see someone back there,

1144
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: you can't somebody makes a call, they'll be like field

1145
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: goal kicker, and everybody clicks into like yea, you know,

1146
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: almost like warm mode, and it's just like you triggered

1147
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: and you go and put kick pressure on. Maybe right,

1148
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: Maybe because he was flat, they just nobody got that

1149
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: call and they just assumed he was going to kick

1150
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: the corner. Because you're taught, you're taught not to go.

1151
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 4: If you're an AOB defender, you're taught not to come

1152
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 4: out of the defensive line like just one out like

1153
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 4: you've got to go as a team, especially if they're

1154
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 4: going to throw shapey.

1155
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: But if it's fifth tackle, it was fifth tackle, I

1156
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: think they should have come out.

1157
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: Would have been in their minds too mainly just received

1158
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 2: appenally down the other end of forcing the golden point

1159
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: by Camber being a step off side. Maybe that was

1160
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: in their minds. Maybe they're too conservative, and again maybe

1161
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: they'll look along the bloke alongside him saying he's going

1162
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: to pressure. Raiders are a fast team. Kaya Weeks was

1163
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: gained a meter in the off season. Ethan's strange is

1164
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 2: going to go to the next level again playing on

1165
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: the other side of the park, which is funny for

1166
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: a lefty he likes playing apparently his favorite sides to

1167
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 2: the right hand side of the park.

1168
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 3: Ethan's left.

1169
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ethan, he looked electric but still off his left foot.

1170
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: He did Hudson Young, as we expect, was magnificent and

1171
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: the young bloker Noah Noah martin Man. He has that

1172
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: nineties canbra forward head cut, a lot of the mad like.

1173
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: It looks like a bloke you'd see just slapping the

1174
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: Pokey's late night at Mooseheads and canbra and just completely

1175
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: off his face.

1176
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.

1177
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he is that guy, but that

1178
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: if there was a guy that you'd see at Mooseheads

1179
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: playing the pokies, it'd be Wind. It just looks he

1180
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: just looks like that kind of character.

1181
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 4: It looks like a bad guy in like a Cobra

1182
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 4: kais sort of thing like the eighties, like yeah, action movie.

1183
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 4: He looks like the kind of guy that had come

1184
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 4: into a local pub like in Cesnok as a standover man,

1185
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 4: as a bikey and just wrought like the owner for

1186
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 4: heaps of money, well made.

1187
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: He look like, go and have a look at Go

1188
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 2: and have a look at a guy that the big

1189
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 2: fellow called Darren Fritz used to play for the Raiders

1190
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: in the nineties. Man, he's spitting him. He's got the

1191
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 2: huge mullet going. I have Raiders anything from five to nine. Now,

1192
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: how dare I say nine?

1193
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: Could get to miss it? It's ridiculous.

1194
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 2: It's a young They do have young halves, right, Kobe

1195
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 2: Black's a very good young player. Nthan Sanders has had

1196
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 2: a great start. It's a long season for young halves.

1197
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: Got to get a good run of injuries.

1198
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of injuries last night. I think Josh

1199
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 4: Parley got injured yether night, so he misses this week. Yeah,

1200
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 4: so it's you know, that's the thing to another year.

1201
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 4: Older fans, boys.

1202
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: And mainly I've got mainly anything from nine to fourteen.

1203
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 4: I would say nine to five again. I was about

1204
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 4: to go, Honestly, I'm going to get Dolly Parton on repeat,

1205
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 4: coming on.

1206
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: I've still got, I've still got I've got both of

1207
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: these sides missing the eight. Still. Yeah, I thought Canberra

1208
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: are really good and maybe that surprised me, but I yeah,

1209
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: I thought, I think I just still I didn't see

1210
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: enough of them. I feel like if they weren't playing

1211
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: a side like Manly who can play very patchy, like

1212
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: they played ten minutes and they can beat you in

1213
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: ten minutes sometimes because they score eight tries in ten minutes,

1214
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: but they can also just be like a really bottom

1215
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: four side in ten minutes. So I thought that side

1216
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: that that game was a really low quality game from

1217
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: both sides. They both be really disappointed with it. That's

1218
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: why I got them both out of the eight. And

1219
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: the last game red Cliffe Dolphins first the South Sydney

1220
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: rabbit Oz.

1221
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: This is strange game.

1222
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: Strange game, forty to thirty to the Abbidos. I mean

1223
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: I actually had rabbit Os thirteen plus I had them.

1224
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: I thought they're going to be all over them. When

1225
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: ashton Ward went down, they really struggled for a bit,

1226
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: like particularly defensively on that right edge. Dolphins had a

1227
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: couple of quick tries. Hammer scored a really good tryout

1228
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: on that on that left side, for them. It was

1229
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: a really strange game, really really strong.

1230
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 2: Christian Wolf's going to find a way to get Trey

1231
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 2: Fuller and that start, he's just too.

1232
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: Good when he come on. I thought that was like

1233
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: the different like he drew a lot of penalties just

1234
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: get because he gets in between players. And I played

1235
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: against Trey before even like he is so he's almost

1236
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: impossible to tackle. It's like, I don't think I've tried

1237
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: to tackle a stronger player than Trey Fuller. And it

1238
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: sounds weird because he's small, but he's so core strong.

1239
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: What about like now, like the fullback position evolves and

1240
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 2: changes all the time. At the moment, the small compact fullback,

1241
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: it is the way to go, Sewer Joe Gray. You

1242
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 2: know Trey Fuller can get back there. I think they've

1243
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 2: just got to find a way to get him in

1244
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: the left side from from south. Wasn't really conditions to

1245
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 2: suit them. I like the fact that Wayne was going

1246
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: to play day for Feeder for eighty minutes. You've got

1247
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 2: simbing towards the end with eight minutes to go.

1248
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 3: It looked good though, Yeah, yep, yes, it looked good.

1249
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 4: It was very much their sort of game though. I

1250
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 4: thought those boys like it was how many points were scored?

1251
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 4: Sixty or so?

1252
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, seventy points. Yeah, seventy points and.

1253
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 4: That's the that's the I think I saw a stat

1254
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 4: that's the sixth game in a row that the Dolphins

1255
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 4: have been a part of where there's been sixty or

1256
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 4: more points scored, well, which is first time in Premiership history.

1257
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: Well, and the weather up there, it was that when

1258
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: we're because we were doing continuous call team previewing into

1259
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: that game and the weather we had JT on the phone.

1260
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: J he said, the weather up he was that bad,

1261
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: like this is going to be a low scoring game.

1262
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 3: And then it was almost cyclonic.

1263
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, two teams that just want to go all out

1264
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: attack and they still scored seventy points in a game.

1265
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 3: But both of those sides.

1266
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: It's a very Dolphin South's result, wasn't we in the

1267
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 2: previous years? Yeah, Dave, it was good probably six and

1268
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: a half seven out of ten. There were still moments

1269
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: that Wayne to look at, I reckon probably pull the

1270
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: video out and chip you say, mate, there was once

1271
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: where he sort of just sort of submitted and tackle

1272
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: and put the ball on the ground just a little

1273
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: like that. I really like the latrell at left center.

1274
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: His involvement will pick up. Big story man coming into

1275
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 2: this week is and just quickly too. The bloke who's

1276
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 2: going to be the beneficiary of that left side, he's

1277
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 2: going to be He's going to be Campbell Graham and

1278
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 2: the other faraway. Yeah, because if you think they're going

1279
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: to throw, they're going to throw shape at you down

1280
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 2: that left edge right It's going to take a lot

1281
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 2: of defenders to solve that problem.

1282
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 3: Leave you short on the other side.

1283
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: First shot, that first try they went, David gets to

1284
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: one on one, quick play the ball. Cody's sitting on

1285
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: that left side. Bronson Gala gets out, shows to Cody,

1286
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: cuts back, finds Cam Murray on the right and they

1287
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: just go out the back, zing to Jai Gray who

1288
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: gets it to White and quick tip onto Campbell Graham.

1289
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: Like that's going to be their sequence. They're going to

1290
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: use David Feeder all year. Quick play the ball, Cody

1291
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: either rip up that short side or they'll check short side,

1292
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: go to Cam Murray in the middle, and they'll just

1293
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: hit that right edge straight away. Because you saw that

1294
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: they were unstoppable when they did that.

1295
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 2: Well, Aj it's funny Latrell went across the trial line

1296
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 2: once with Aj just outside him. I thought he's going

1297
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: to feed him the ball. So he's only got one

1298
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 2: try to get next week against the Roosters. Needs two

1299
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: against the Roosters to break the Ken nervines record.

1300
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 4: Wayne Wayne's responds in the press. So Wayne said he's

1301
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 4: not happy about it. He doesn't want it to storm

1302
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 4: the field. Wayne's funny, though, I feel like Wayne's very

1303
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 4: much like he likes to be in control. Maybe he's

1304
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 4: thinking very much a tennis sort of tactic if they

1305
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 4: stop the game and then everyone cools down and might

1306
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 4: not be good for a side like his.

1307
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: But it's a hard thing to say because if you

1308
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 2: get there and say, you know, would storm the field,

1309
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: and you said, yeah, yeah, they should do it, then

1310
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: he could be complicit if something happens. Yeah yeah, So

1311
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him break it next week, I

1312
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 2: reckon He'll.

1313
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: Imagine against the Roosters he breaks it and then can

1314
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: you imagine how off the Roosters players would be as

1315
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 1: just all these fans storm the field and you imagine

1316
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: if he scores two tries, you imagine Rabbitos are probably

1317
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: up at that time like they're probably winning.

1318
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 4: That's why I reckon. That's why I think Wayne doesn't

1319
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 4: like it. I think if they score two tries, they're

1320
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 4: likely going to be up, and if there's a school

1321
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 4: down factor, they lose momentum.

1322
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: I'd love for it to be in like the last

1323
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: ten minutes of the game.

1324
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: Try yeah, try the end as a match winner. Dolphins.

1325
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: The other side, Dolphins, it's everyone knows they can score

1326
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 2: points at the best to take in.

1327
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: The side last year and points best attacking side.

1328
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 3: But just defense with lets him down.

1329
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: I thought was actually really strong in different hands.

1330
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought he was good. Some beautiful touches.

1331
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 2: Wolfy will probably look and say, there's a few a

1332
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 2: couple of wrong options, but you know he's mate, he's

1333
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: on the up and up.

1334
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 4: What is it? What is it with that likes their

1335
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 4: attack so great? It's been like that for the last

1336
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 4: two years, Like, what is it? Do you reckon? There's

1337
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 4: just a balance and focus or defense versus attack.

1338
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 3: Or definitely Jack definitely.

1339
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot of young players on that side, and

1340
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 2: what what sounds like a really easy thing to do

1341
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: is difficult, and that's transition quickly from attack to defense,

1342
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 2: particularly when you're going balls out, it's going pushing the

1343
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 2: ball around. Suddenly you turn it over. And that's why

1344
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 2: I go through back and look back at my career.

1345
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: The side that was a nightmare to play against with

1346
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 2: the great Raider sides, because what they would do, Mate,

1347
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: they had this amazing attacking arsenal and they just run

1348
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: you around. But what they do is when they turn

1349
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 2: the ball over, it they.

1350
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 3: Just pushed the shit out of here. They just can

1351
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 3: just give it to you.

1352
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 4: You know.

1353
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: The biggest moment for me in that game, which was

1354
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: the biggest turning point that you go, Okay, now South's

1355
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: going to win. I think it was. It was the

1356
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: second half Dolphins were just had they had us sous

1357
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: completely on the ropes. They were inside their own thirty.

1358
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: It was fifth tackle and Cody Walker kicks a forty

1359
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: twenty from his own thirty on fifth tackle, which any

1360
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: rugby league fans should know. It should be impossible to

1361
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: kick a forty twenty on fifth tackle. Like, the only

1362
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: time you should be able to kick a forty twenty

1363
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: is in the early tackles when their wingers haven't dropped back.

1364
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: Fifth tackle, your wingers all three should be back there

1365
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be an excuse for top pressure, Yeah, but

1366
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: they should be an excuse for him not to catch

1367
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: it on the full. And they kicked it right in

1368
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: between Jamaina Sako still dropping back and the Hammer was

1369
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: back there and he just went one bounce straight to

1370
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: forty twenty and then from there they had to defend

1371
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: two or three sets on their line and they were

1372
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: sort of gone from there.

1373
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: The Dolphins do they trust their attack too much? Are

1374
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: they so confident they can outscore a team that they

1375
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: can place with their defense if they can borrow that

1376
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 2: thing from the great Raider sides, even just in little

1377
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: meant some of that attitude then make their that they

1378
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 2: pushed toward the top.

1379
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: Their skills and attack through Isaiah Toha and Hammer and

1380
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: the blokes like that. I think they're better than nearly

1381
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: every team in the comp in that sense, but they

1382
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: just lack just little things that let them down, Like

1383
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: you said, like the back three pendulum, like they call

1384
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: that pendulum at the back. Like the good teams like

1385
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: Penrith and Storm and those top four sides, like they

1386
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: don't lapse in those areas and then aside, like the Dolphins,

1387
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: they just have these minute concentration areas which just completely

1388
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: flip momentum and they can't build pressure.

1389

Speaker 3: Coop I.

1390
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,080

Speaker 3: No, I don't know when Wild, Wild and wet. I

1394
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 3: think it was Moving World.

1395
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 4: That was the Dharma attraction in movie World.

1396
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 3: Wants a Wife.

Speaker 1: those theme parks.

1399
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 3: Well, mate, where it got Titans.

1400
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 4: Jersey sponsors the road.

1401
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: You know what's mad Seawell's got rides now too?

1402
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 3: Has it?

1403
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a ride there.

1404
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: I just I just I've lost all my trust in dolphins,

1405
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 2: not not this football side actually the itself.

1406
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just find them disingenuous. I love it.

1407
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 2: I have sometimes I have South's anywhere from I have

1408
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 2: house anywhere from seven to ten. I have Dolphins. After

1409
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: watching that, I've got them anything from the hedging your

1410
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 2: Best Today five to tenche'se your heads.

1411
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: In your best Today.

1412
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 4: I looked at the rabbits that think like just like

1413
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 4: even there, like the way Cam Murray played himself and

1414
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 4: him him coming back and he got up as a backup.

1415
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 4: I see them getting in the eighth for sure.

1416
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: I've got them. I've got them a lock for the eight.

1417
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: I think Jamie Humphries comes back around three and Brandon

1418
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Smith comes back as B and I think they really

1419
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: missed a bloke like Brandon in there. I thought Brandon's

1420
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 1: going to bolster that forward pack right up, him playing

1421
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: off the back of Mari and blokes like that, and

1422
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: then having Garlic coming off the bench for it, like,

1423
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna.

1424
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 3: Be a good one to just avoid those injuries.

1425
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 4: Well, very that's one exp point, Like, very rarely do

1426
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 4: you see a team that has a year with a

1427
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 4: horrendous injury crisis like they did last year, and they

1428
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 4: have they have it to years in a row, very rarely,

1429
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 4: Like does it happen to row?

1430
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: There's that saying, right, and it's that saying that it's

1431
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: an old folklore. I think it was from back in

1432
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: the day, and it's lightning doesn't strike twice, And I

1433
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: can't see lightning striking twice the South Sidney Rabbits.

1434
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 3: I disagree with that.

1435
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: I've got evidence from do you know when they shop

1436
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: with the Mel Gibson movie The Passion of the christ YEP.

1437
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 4: I've heard about it, I've never actually seen it's it's

1438
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 4: a masterpiece.

1439
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 3: The guy who was the he was in charge of audio.

1440
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 2: He was standing on Calgary Hill where the CRUs faxon

1441
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 2: happened and got struck by lightning twice in the shooting.

1442
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 4: Is he alive?

1443
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, here we go.

1444
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,439
Speaker 1: I just googled while you were dribbling about that weird story.

1445
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Has anyone been struck by lightning twice? Yes, one person,

1446
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Although it's extremely rare one it's being struck by twice

1447
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: is estimated to be one in nine million chance. The

1448
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: famous case of Roy Sullivan, a US park ranger who

1449
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: was struck seven times.

1450
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 4: And survives a few porky's. There no way it can't

1451
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 4: be struck seven times and live to tell the tale.

1452
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 2: The HP is still in the National surf competition called

1453
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Surface one day almost a clear sky. Your mum will

1454
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: talk about this. There was one cloud in the sky.

1455
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 2: A surfer call French Cervi called Pierre toss D.

1456
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: Was standing there.

1457
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 2: He literally went boom on the beach, got struck by lightning,

1458
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: went the hospital, survived and then got out of hospital

1459
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 2: and got hit by a bar us and surviving, survived,

1460
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: That is.

1461
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: What we're doing now.

1462
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 3: I think he's a life game.

1463
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Ruy Sullivan seven separate lightning strikes between nineteen forty two

1464
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: and ninety seventy seven, according to the Guinness Book of

1465
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: World Records. So he's in there, you.

1466
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 4: Reckon between the forties and the eighties. Keep they're really

1467
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 4: doing their due diligence.

1468
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 3: Can we try to get it here on the podcast.

1469
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 4: Listener to hallucinative drugs quite prominent during that period that

1470
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 4: he died nineteen eighty three.

1471
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm curious.

1472
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: I guess was hit by lighting nine times eventually killed him.

1473
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 2: Hopefully wasn't the flu Sullivan.

1474
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Clause of death. He reportedly passed away due to unrequited

1475
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: love and depression.

1476
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 4: Oh that geez interesting.

1477
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,040

Speaker 2: a negative Nope, but it feels fitting.

1479
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what had something to do with the

1480
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 4: seven lightning structs?

1481
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:55,720
