Speaker 1: She's a big game for Peddrick this week.
Speaker 2: Coops Magic Round on Sunday against the Broncos.
Speaker 3: I thought they were back.
Speaker 4: Against the US, and we spoke about some of the
Speaker 4: penh like traits, but again, unmanly. Look, they're just they're
Speaker 4: trying to do the same things. And to be fair
Speaker 4: in their defense, it's held them up for a long
Speaker 4: period of time. But just trying to replicate the same
Speaker 4: thing with some players not being able to do it
Speaker 4: as well or required to the level is forcing some
Speaker 4: of their better players to try and do a lot more.
Speaker 4: And they look a little bit like, not not out
Speaker 4: of answers, but they look very frustrated with you. They
Speaker 4: are trying hard, but it's just not turned that.
Speaker 2: I mean, you think about all the things that are
Speaker 2: underpins this, Like we can talk about things every week,
Speaker 2: but you know, in themselves, I'll be questioning will Ivan
Speaker 2: to be questioned.
Speaker 1: Okay, motivation the.
Speaker 2: Fire and the belly, because the fire in the belly
Speaker 2: is not an eternal flames. Sometimes you know it's subsides. Now,
Speaker 2: this is this is a scene that it's going for
Speaker 2: five comps in a row. It's been remarkable and the
Speaker 2: amount of football they've played. But there are certain things
Speaker 2: coops that we have spoken about for quite a while
Speaker 2: that we've seen slowly creeping into the game, and we
Speaker 2: understand as playmakers. Sometimes he can get into certain habits
Speaker 2: and we've spoken about this, and I'll talk about Nathan
Speaker 2: specifically here, but we've said for a while. I find
Speaker 2: those cross shapes like that, I find them dangerous. Now
Speaker 2: what I mean by dangerous is you're not in the
Speaker 2: short I'm talking about what it starts to do to
Speaker 2: playmakers in the long term.
Speaker 1: What actually starts.
Speaker 2: To happen is you start to get into that mode
Speaker 2: of going across and you start if you're not careful,
Speaker 2: you start to lose your upfield.
Speaker 4: Punch when your hips are east west, for example, as
Speaker 4: opposed to north south. But you become less effective as
Speaker 4: a course player. Right, So whether you can run across
Speaker 4: field four or five times doesn't matter, but you need
Speaker 4: to assay stage, get your hips back to square, to
Speaker 4: the defensive line, and then be able to move.
Speaker 3: That's one aspect.
Speaker 4: The other part to Penrith is they've won four in
Speaker 4: a row because of their defense, and I feel like
Speaker 4: on the weekend the right side of Manly went after
Speaker 4: that left edge of Penrith.
Speaker 3: Now their right edge.
Speaker 4: Penriith's right edge defensively is Martin, Cleary, tungueor and Alamody
Speaker 4: experienced guys who have done it before. Their left edge
Speaker 4: is to Lungy, McLean and Jenkins inexperience and manly went
Speaker 4: after it.
Speaker 3: Now. I think what might.
Speaker 4: Need to happen at Penrith is maybe move a couple
Speaker 4: of players around. You're not moving Nathan because he's the
Speaker 4: right sided player, but you might have to move Tongue
Speaker 4: or Martin just to balance it out until sort of
Speaker 4: comes back. But that's one thing that I reckon Penrith
Speaker 4: probably need to do.
Speaker 2: The food you suit, the frustration and attack that is
Speaker 2: producing errors and then the errors at the moment they're
Speaker 2: unable to absorb.
Speaker 1: Their defense used.
Speaker 4: To be able to they didn't have the errors, and
Speaker 4: now they weren't.
Speaker 3: They were able to defend the errors too.
Speaker 2: And it is it is trainspotting what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: You know, as playmakers, you know that, you know, as
Speaker 2: you said before about the hips I always found. You know,
Speaker 2: we at Newcastle in the mid ninety we started playing
Speaker 2: a lot of those shapes, dropping under, dropping under and
Speaker 2: suddenly I found myself I lost matfield punch. I'm playing
Speaker 2: sideways all the time. It took a fair bit to
Speaker 2: correct that. And one of the things that was important
Speaker 2: to me is on reception outside, foot up, catch early,
Speaker 2: and do not let this shoulder roll across, because as
Speaker 2: we said that, when the shoulder rolls across, you can't
Speaker 2: go back.
Speaker 1: Now the shoulder rolls, it means the hips are out
Speaker 1: of position.
Speaker 2: So it was little cues like that trying to get
Speaker 2: that little bit of punch back into the game.
Speaker 4: The reason why we talk about hips as well is
Speaker 4: if I'm trying to go down the field and my
Speaker 4: eyes follow my hips, I will see a lot more
Speaker 4: in what I can run, pass or take on. If
Speaker 4: I start turning sideways, I'm then losing a big chunk
Speaker 4: of what I can do on the inside.
Speaker 3: Whether it's a pass.
Speaker 4: Or a right foot back inside depend on which side
Speaker 4: the field you are. So yeah, a couple of things there,
Speaker 4: but they're they're easily fixed.
Speaker 3: For someone like Nathan, you.
Speaker 2: Can most yeah, yeah, because I think how you adjusted,
Speaker 2: how you fix it. You don't fix it on the
Speaker 2: run during the game. It's something that you have to
Speaker 2: get to training. And you run certain drills to go okay,
Speaker 2: let's get the squeness. And some of those drills you
Speaker 2: do were like the ones that we used to do
Speaker 2: years ago, as simple as throwing hats out ABC ruck
Speaker 2: ABC and actually start to fill yourself getting the targets
Speaker 2: for fender square and.
Speaker 4: Then on flip side, they're becoming predictable. Because we spoke
Speaker 4: about this before, is that defenses now aren't going sideways
Speaker 4: when they drop off front it comes, They're going forward
Speaker 4: to stop that forward momentum. Uh.
Speaker 1: I tell you what the dogs, the Broncos. Broncos really
Speaker 1: impressed me, you Madges. Some of the things that they've.
Speaker 2: Done with their attack really impressed me in the fact
Speaker 2: that they're up against the Bulldogs side who are a
Speaker 2: smaller pack, and their defense, like the way they defend
Speaker 2: a fast moving defense and they almost a swarming defense.
Speaker 2: They operate like hyaenas make sense and you go okay,
Speaker 2: So if you're a smaller pack, you've got to control
Speaker 2: the ruck.
Speaker 1: Right to beat a big sidelight Prisbane.
Speaker 2: And the really thing that I've found clever that Madge
Speaker 2: did was using his big guys off playmakers like Adam
Speaker 2: Reynolds went across quite a bit and dropped Willison off
Speaker 2: and blokes like hass That actually got them one on
Speaker 2: one tackles and allowed them to punch through little things
Speaker 2: like that. So that just been manufactured, those one on
Speaker 2: one tackles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Michael maguire did a lot of the
Speaker 4: work during the week from Monday to Friday to win
Speaker 4: this game for his team. Dogs have been up for
Speaker 4: a long period of time and that fast moving defense.
Speaker 4: What he did was find the pocket that is stepped back,
Speaker 4: get big bodies to go through that pocket, play the
Speaker 4: ball quickly, then tack them on the next one, not
Speaker 4: try and necessarily do it on that one. So it
Speaker 4: was like a shot shot mentality from the Brison Broncos.
Speaker 4: And when Milcol Mguire's teams play well, they are physically
Speaker 4: aggressively ready to go from the go from the start,
Speaker 4: and they were.
Speaker 1: When we see the difference like the week before.
Speaker 2: The guy that really symbolized it for me was Bennie
Speaker 2: Hunt because the week before, Bennie would have gone off
Speaker 2: and go, jeez, I didn't know I could play that bad,
Speaker 2: do you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean?
Speaker 2: He was really frustrating himself and there's no doubt through
Speaker 2: the week Madge that he gave him a ticklub because
Speaker 2: there was a little moment in the game. It led
Speaker 2: up to a try, there was a loose ball and
Speaker 2: Mate Ben Hunt just come out of nowhere and come
Speaker 2: up with it. It wasn't a fifty to fifty ball,
Speaker 2: it was a seventy to thirty. He had a thirty
Speaker 2: percent chance of coming up with he found a way
Speaker 2: to get it.
Speaker 4: It's because Madger probably hit him in the rest of
Speaker 4: the players between the eyes. I like what the Dogs
Speaker 4: are doing. They've got their identity and they will win
Speaker 4: a lot of games this year. But the key thing
Speaker 4: for the Dogs is when a big pack of forwards
Speaker 4: like the Broncos all the Melbourne Storm. Can they stop
Speaker 4: that big pack and win a big game? But that
Speaker 4: will ulderly be the storyline of the Dogs the whole year.
Speaker 2: And the other thing too, Mate, is for the Dogs
Speaker 2: and there's some young players on that side. It's managing
Speaker 2: the hype and the excitement because with every win, the
Speaker 2: excitement is just rising and the expectation rises with that,
Speaker 2: and suddenly people have gone away from saying can the Dogs,
Speaker 2: Can the Dogs make the finals again? To well can
Speaker 2: the Dogs play top four to now? Can the Dogs
Speaker 2: win the comp? And that's for young players. It's a
Speaker 2: feel bit to take on.
Speaker 4: And I think they've got the game style too, it's
Speaker 4: just that managing that and the physicality battle. They've done it,
Speaker 4: but can they do it for a month up against
Speaker 4: Let's say they've got to beat Brisbane and Melbourne to
Speaker 4: get to Grand Four.
Speaker 3: That will be the challenge for them.
Speaker 2: Talk about a couple of young players of the course
Speaker 2: of the weekend. Firstly, the most obvious one who's been
Speaker 2: spoken about more than any other player in the last
Speaker 2: two weeks, like a Galvin.
Speaker 3: What's happened there?
Speaker 1: Apparently some contracts.
Speaker 2: Stuff going on yes yesterday he went out there likehard
Speaker 2: Oval speaking of people are.
Speaker 1: There the.
Speaker 2: Bronx cheers going on a little bit jeering at the start,
Speaker 2: but that started to side set up at try early.
Speaker 2: Showed his mental toughness yesterday.
Speaker 3: Some other people are off contract this year too.
Speaker 4: They I like how Galvin delivered because a kid his
Speaker 4: age handling everything that happened, He didn't hesitate like he
Speaker 4: actually went and was directed at the game that tri
Speaker 4: assist there. He was just his excitement to be a
Speaker 4: part of it is something that he should hold on to.
Speaker 4: The one thing I will say is that there was
Speaker 4: talk around him and during the week about having grievances
Speaker 4: with Benji's coaching or whatever. I can tell by the
Speaker 4: way that this kid plays that he doesn't with respect
Speaker 4: think deeply about the way he plays.
Speaker 1: He just does.
Speaker 4: For example, he'll get the ball on tackle one and
Speaker 4: just kick it without any context of what else.
Speaker 3: Is going on.
Speaker 4: There's a couple occasions of the weekend, but that first
Speaker 4: try that he set up like it's just doing.
Speaker 3: Things when he wants to do things.
Speaker 4: He's very very effective at it, so very good performance
Speaker 4: for a kid that most other people in his position
Speaker 4: would be stand out of the contest from word go
Speaker 4: went straight to it. It's a feather in his cap.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, let me speak about this last week.
Speaker 2: He's of course not a seven, but he's not exactly
Speaker 2: a pure six either. He does remind me of a hybrid,
Speaker 2: almost like a six thirteen, because for me, he looks
Speaker 2: like a player. Well, here is a player seven playing
Speaker 2: through seven. No, I don't see him as a seven.
Speaker 4: He's got When Monster arrived as a young kid, he
Speaker 4: just did things and we've spoken about this. As you
Speaker 4: develop as a young player, particularly as a half, when
Speaker 4: you just do things and someone comes up to you,
Speaker 4: so how do you do that?
Speaker 3: And you and I just did it because I ran
Speaker 3: the ball right.
Speaker 4: In five years time, I think this young man is
Speaker 4: going to be more more footy, IQ aware. He's going
Speaker 4: to be able to work through like months is doing
Speaker 4: now to explain exactly how things unfolded. So I think
Speaker 4: there's heaps of opportunity for Lockie Galvin in five years time.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be putting the shackles on you. They couldn't
Speaker 4: play half back. But yeah, I understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 2: Before we talk about the Sharks and that sort of
Speaker 2: crazy golden point period, I just want to talk with
Speaker 2: another young player the Warriors. Halasinma, that young guy who's
Speaker 2: been coming off the bench. He actually started, I think
Speaker 2: the other night.
Speaker 1: This guy, my god, he's got some natural ability to
Speaker 1: this play.
Speaker 2: And there's a little thing he does here right there,
Speaker 2: talk about train spotting stuff. This is just a little thing,
Speaker 2: but the level of his skill away. He plays the
Speaker 2: football coops and he plays it. He's a left hand carry,
Speaker 2: but he jumps up and he plays the ball, he
Speaker 2: carries it with his left hand, he plays it with
Speaker 2: his right foot. Now that this is only at only
Speaker 2: a little thing, but do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like it that takes that.
Speaker 1: Takes a lot of skill to that, a lot of
Speaker 1: skill and coordination.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 3: But they played on Anzac Day.
Speaker 4: You probably had Anzac Day breakfast beers that games at
Speaker 4: eight o'clock at night. Are you watching that?
Speaker 2: I just think something like that, coops.
Speaker 1: I just find that. I just find that fascinating. That
Speaker 1: doesn't have to I'm really showing myself a bit.
Speaker 4: All the things you can pick up on a rugby
Speaker 4: leaking field.
Speaker 3: It amazes me.
Speaker 2: I get there sometimes and even like I see a
Speaker 2: right foot to play the ball with his left foot
Speaker 2: and I, god, that's clever. And when I saw this
Speaker 2: Jumblow do this, I thought, my goodness, that's clever.
Speaker 1: Let's watch it again.
Speaker 2: Let's watch it again.
Speaker 3: Right, that's pretty a good pick up.
Speaker 1: From I know.
Speaker 2: But you are right about two up and business oh,
Speaker 2: by the time the time all seams play the ball,
Speaker 2: by the time the third game came around, two got
Speaker 2: some interesting points on the Melbourne.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: It make the sharky. It was it for him?
Speaker 2: It was well under the tig's really important win for them.
Speaker 2: But the Sharks look back fit to me the other
Speaker 2: day and you know, just just that composure in the
Speaker 2: last ten minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's hard to teach this as a game
Speaker 4: management thing because you almost have to deliver it by
Speaker 4: trial and error. Be comfortable with losing to be able
Speaker 4: to handle victory, if that makes sense. But as a
Speaker 4: rule of thumb, like when you get to the ten
Speaker 4: minute mark in a tight game and you feel like
Speaker 4: you're struggling to score points, you maybe try for the
Speaker 4: try and if you don't, set back in the middle
Speaker 4: and just take the shot, start ticking over that school board.
Speaker 4: If you get inside five minutes, take the shot whenever
Speaker 4: you can. Don't finest the ball sideways, because the more
Speaker 4: passes you add, the more risk comes into play, and
Speaker 4: then you lose your opportunitie. So I just feel like
Speaker 4: Fitzi and the Sharks in terms of that spine. I
Speaker 4: don't know why people, while you pass the ball one way,
Speaker 4: move the other way and then put yourself under more pressure.
Speaker 4: Rule number one, if you're in the position with the
Speaker 4: best shot, take it back yourself back yourself. Don't worry
Speaker 4: about the result, focus on technique. But then if you
Speaker 4: do get pressure, you have to have option too. I
Speaker 4: understand that, but that's the easiest course to victor is
Speaker 4: get the ball the best kicker and kick the ball.
Speaker 2: W was your sweet spot, coops, because there's a certain area,
Speaker 2: Like I thought, a couple of times they took the
Speaker 2: ball too far to the lone like.
Speaker 1: A crowded nicker. Never gave Nicko enough time.
Speaker 2: I reckon the sweet spot is around that twenty meters
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five meters.
Speaker 3: I think there's two parts to it.
Speaker 4: Yes, you don't want to be inside ten, so sort
Speaker 4: of ten meters off fifteen meters off, so you're.
Speaker 3: Kicking the ball twenty twenty five meters.
Speaker 4: One thing I used to work inside thirty meters is
Speaker 4: you don't get an extra point for kicking at four
Speaker 4: hundred rows into the ground. All you need to do
Speaker 4: is kick it straight between two sticks, So keep it simple.
Speaker 4: Don't sort of bend it out to the right and
Speaker 4: sort of big hit it with a big three iron.
Speaker 3: Just poke it over and get it there.
Speaker 4: The other part that is probably key is teams need
Speaker 4: to get their best play the baller to run at
Speaker 4: the play before the show. Don't have the lethargic front rower.
Speaker 4: I get there be sloppy play.
Speaker 3: The ball.
Speaker 4: For Storm Slater was really good because you had footwork
Speaker 4: and speed. At the Roosters it was Boyd Cordner good
Speaker 4: carry on the short side and left hand side the
Speaker 4: field and kick the ball to the right hand side
Speaker 4: of the post. There's a couple of things at the
Speaker 4: Sharks and to be fair, the Tigers need to work
Speaker 4: through scenario.
Speaker 2: There was a couple of interesting setups. So there was
Speaker 2: the one with the Tigers where they literally threw the
Speaker 2: ball back thirty or something to Adam.
Speaker 5: Dewey curbs the Melbourne Storm, like we talk about them
Speaker 5: all a lot spine, but I don't know my time
Speaker 5: RABA League, i've seen a side play so straight the
Speaker 5: spine in combination.
Speaker 2: And I'm just an example here with the set and
Speaker 2: an example that the more they get, the more they
Speaker 2: get forward, the more momentum, the straighter they play. And
Speaker 2: you'll see here Anderson just sort of pokes his nose
Speaker 2: and this is where the role starts. So he gets
Speaker 2: forward finally, and the next guy forward punches through and
Speaker 2: the next one right, playing real straight again and then
Speaker 2: look the foots in the door, mate, But you know
Speaker 2: they're not going to push. They don't worry about pushing
Speaker 2: the ball sideways. The more momentum there is, the straighter
Speaker 2: they play.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I think that's really good ballplaying there from drum Hughes,
Speaker 4: because when you're play inside to it doesn't matter who
Speaker 4: it is, and they create a little bit of rock speed.
Speaker 4: Once you see a marker down second one being late.
Speaker 4: Before you get the ball in your hands, your eyes
Speaker 4: see something inside, so your first instinct is talk about
Speaker 4: Nathan in his.
Speaker 3: North south hips.
Speaker 4: If you turn to the sideline, you're going to miss
Speaker 4: that because your eyes turned right. So I always thought
Speaker 4: when you play inside, your first look is to play
Speaker 4: inside again and if it's not.
Speaker 1: On, I'm going outside.
Speaker 4: And as soon as Jerome Hughes got that footy, everything
Speaker 4: said to me, he's going to go back inside and
Speaker 4: the big right foot they just stood off him and
Speaker 4: he went right foot back.
Speaker 1: And what do you think of their performance?
Speaker 2: Just like on the weekend, I look at it. I
Speaker 2: mean it's the last two weeks has been obvious to me.
Speaker 2: What a whole Harry Grant Love not not just in leadership,
Speaker 2: but just what he does in there around those rucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought there was once the whole Latrell Ji
Speaker 4: Gray who's playing where thing worked out and Ji Gray
Speaker 4: was playing five eight, but defendant left center Jerome Hughes
Speaker 4: and started getting some early ball out to Nick Minnie.
Speaker 4: And what that meant is they started going lateral too early.
Speaker 4: In my mind, what they should have done is that
Speaker 4: penetrate through the middle. A couple of short passes then
Speaker 4: attacked Joy Gray to twenty five minutes into the game
Speaker 4: or sixty minutes into the game, got him feeling like
Speaker 4: they're not coming towards me, they're attacking.
Speaker 2: And e fact well, and that's the thing, isn't like
Speaker 2: if you look at the way Harry plays, when the
Speaker 2: foot's in the door, Harry will scooting start to go.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're a playmaker, you haven't got a choice.
Speaker 2: If he's going to you've just got to go straight away.
Speaker 2: The Raiders that when you win a game like that yesterday,
Speaker 2: by the way, that that was a bizarre game. As
Speaker 2: far as the Dolphins concerned, that was just about the
Speaker 2: best half of football I've seen them play. And their
Speaker 2: second half was a bloodger. The Raiders was a thirty point.
Speaker 2: That sort of win you go away, and that's when
Speaker 2: that that sort of win gives you that sense that
Speaker 2: made sense of destiny.
Speaker 1: If it makes sense like this could be our Susan.
Speaker 4: I think the Dolphins in terms of whisping about Isakah
Speaker 4: Carte here. That combination with him and Nick rim run
Speaker 4: that first half, some of the call it nuances, some
Speaker 4: of the like sort of really cool ballplaying movements to
Speaker 4: create space for one another was spot on. And then
Speaker 4: the Raiders in the second half. What Ricky should do
Speaker 4: is watch that over again, and that is their identity.
Speaker 4: They are a big pack of forwards and when they
Speaker 4: create momentum, do not shift the football, short pass run,
Speaker 4: short pass run and just bang down.
Speaker 3: That front door.
Speaker 1: They can play through an opposition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just about as good as anyone.
Speaker 1: Given the fact, and we said this numerous times, they're
Speaker 1: not just a big pack. They're a fast pack.
Speaker 2: They're fast and they've all got footwork.
Speaker 4: So Jamal will be the key to that because you've
Speaker 4: got Tarpney, public Harseber or whatever banging down the front door,
Speaker 4: and he's the indicator that says I'm either going to shift.
Speaker 3: I'm going to stay here.
Speaker 4: What he needs to do is get Ethan Strange to
Speaker 4: be running the ball. But then also if he wants
Speaker 4: to do a little bit of movement, get those athletic
Speaker 4: outside backs back through the middle again, because that's what
Speaker 4: they're doing.
Speaker 3: A lot of short passes, but get them back through.
Speaker 4: So when I say about when they bang down the
Speaker 4: front door, don't go pass past to go around him.
Speaker 4: If that shows up, then take it, but you should
Speaker 4: be going back to where the damage was done.
Speaker 2: Now I've got another thing for you, not just the
Speaker 2: left hand carry, right foot player that you obviously were
Speaker 2: mocking me about, but there's another one here. Like Maddie
Speaker 2: and Nicholson who he's burned revelation, you know, he's such
Speaker 2: the way he can operate with playmakers really really impressive.
Speaker 2: But like a lot of English back rowers, he's got
Speaker 2: a great instinct how to score a try. He's a
Speaker 2: natural try scorer. And there was a moment in the
Speaker 2: game the other day. It was the lead up, end
Speaker 2: up leading up to their first try for the Raiders
Speaker 2: and Ethan Strains gets the ball on the left right
Speaker 2: and it's pretty timendous past the far past Nicholson's way
Speaker 2: out of the other side.
Speaker 1: But Nicholson because.
Speaker 2: He's got those great score try scoring instincts and he
Speaker 2: knows how his playmakers work.
Speaker 1: You watch and what you start see as.
Speaker 2: Strange is making his way back in left foot, left foot, left,
Speaker 2: and everyone else is sort of sitting back waiting for
Speaker 2: the next plate. Nicholson senses something and just starts running
Speaker 2: down the middle of the field and if Stranger would
Speaker 2: beat one more bloke, he might score Runder the past.
Speaker 2: For me, It's just a little thing, but it shows
Speaker 2: me Nichols is not just his instincts, but he's a
Speaker 2: natural football.
Speaker 4: It's funny when you're talking about the relationship between halves
Speaker 4: and back rowers. When you've got a footy IQ smart
Speaker 4: back rower, they are the time and intent when you
Speaker 4: go to the line is sending me to perfect every time,
Speaker 4: which is a ballplayer allows you to start passing the
Speaker 4: ball around to other people knowing that they're always going
Speaker 4: to be there, so you can have the big one,
Speaker 4: big powerful one, or the smart one. And Maddie Nicholson
Speaker 4: is that smart footy IQ that time and intent knows
Speaker 4: exactly what good part of the hole to be in
Speaker 4: and when he sees reaction, he can see something unfolding
Speaker 4: and push together.
Speaker 2: Hudson on the other side, Yeah, who just continues to fight. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's such a dangerous background and coops just something here.
Speaker 1: All the high shots.
Speaker 2: And as a consequence, there's so we're seeing so much
Speaker 2: of thirteen against twelve, and there's some sides that you
Speaker 2: can see as soon as they get twelve they know
Speaker 2: how to play against twelve.
Speaker 1: Others get a little bit lost.
Speaker 4: It's just not sort of one size fits all, because
Speaker 4: if a left winger goes down or sent to the sinbin,
Speaker 4: it's different how you would attack that position than a
Speaker 4: front rower going off the field.
Speaker 3: For example, Teams need to start attacking weaknesses.
Speaker 4: When I mean weaknesses, Let's say a half goes to
Speaker 4: sinbin and they move a bigger edge back roll to
Speaker 4: defend three in. Get someone speedy like Rees Walsh or
Speaker 4: Kaylen Ponger and give them one on one with that
Speaker 4: back roll.
Speaker 3: Who's defending on the edge.
Speaker 4: If a winger goes off the field for a high
Speaker 4: shot and it's a smaller center that goes out there,
Speaker 4: take the opportunity to shift to that side the field.
Speaker 4: More times than not in that set, and if in doubt,
Speaker 4: kick the ball over to them to catch the amount
Speaker 4: on the fifth place. There's a bit of footy IQ
Speaker 4: that needs to go into on the flip side. I
Speaker 4: think if you'll go down to twelve, you can't just
Speaker 4: wave the white flag, right. You've got to do a
Speaker 4: couple of things. Just keep this game a chance of
Speaker 4: you winning. One, you cannot score point, let points be conceded.
Speaker 4: Two you've got to control that clock. Yeah, you've got
Speaker 4: to keep possession. If you give away penalties, you're going
Speaker 4: to be under pressure. Wind down that clock. But how
Speaker 4: do you scored points when you're down to twelve players.
Speaker 3: That's something that you need to consider because you.
Speaker 4: Can't run your same shapes and plays and expect to
Speaker 4: outnumber the opposition.
Speaker 1: We used to crupt down ball boy.
Speaker 2: We used to get there sometimes and say, listen, if
Speaker 2: we're going to slow the game down, saying I'll say something.
Speaker 2: If we're going to a scrum, for instance, I might
Speaker 2: just say something which means, when the ball goes in touch,
Speaker 2: don't give it to the opposition straight away.
Speaker 1: You feel free to sort of kick and keep going.
Speaker 3: We had all these seconds add up. They do it.
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear the other one did? Man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what ballboys said. Some of the things
Speaker 1: like we see to get there.
Speaker 2: I used to get vassalone and put it all over
Speaker 2: a towel and give us the ballboys to stick this
Speaker 2: in the back of your shorts if they get a
Speaker 2: penalty and they kick him out, and.
Speaker 1: Just rub a hill miles of things.
Speaker 3: One on your home game.
Speaker 2: Ask about people in the nineties they turn up to
Speaker 2: our ground, walk into the dress and sheds, it'd be
Speaker 2: that much water. We used to get the high pressure
Speaker 2: hose hose, the roof hose, the whole.
Speaker 1: Dressing room out.
Speaker 2: The other thing we used to do sometimes when I
Speaker 2: was I worked as a groundsman there and one day
Speaker 2: the first grade side I was playing on the twenties,
Speaker 2: the first grade side, we're playing Saint George who had
Speaker 2: Ricky Wolford Martina Paire.
Speaker 1: So they just said to me the day for the.
Speaker 2: Game, all day, just pull out the hose and just
Speaker 2: just turn the ten meter corridors on this streil just
Speaker 2: into a complete back in the day, coops. The other
Speaker 2: thing was it was up to you how deep the
Speaker 2: d goals were, So like Paramount of stadium because that's Stirlo.
Speaker 2: It would be like an eight meter ingals. Others would
Speaker 2: be a lot shorter. But I think we could really
Speaker 2: mat it was they with the Glory Days, where you
Speaker 2: really could corrupt the result.
Speaker 4: Keep your trains putting idea for magic weekend to see
Speaker 4: what happens on the fringes of Sun Stadium on the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very good. What about man try mate?
Speaker 1: I thought it was.
Speaker 2: I thought it was the pre planned try the season
Speaker 2: so far, very very clever the way they exposed.
Speaker 1: They set the bait with Tom, put him up early.
Speaker 1: Here it is we're looking at this here, this is
Speaker 1: clever man. That's good football.
Speaker 2: It just tied and you know what, Hmole just at
Speaker 2: the very last second, he just dips in a fraction
Speaker 2: make the play.
Speaker 4: That's the attack and the inexperience of that Penrith left.
Speaker 4: But we spoke to Seabolt after the game and it
Speaker 4: credited Michael Linnis for.
Speaker 1: That right eagle, that one. That Mick was excited.
Speaker 3: It was a good try.
Speaker 2: It was was very excited about sweeps too, celebrating rockily.
Speaker 1: It's one more timely that Oh that's good, that's good.
Speaker 4: I got caught out once against Thurston the Cowboys. I
Speaker 4: ran up past the football and Thurston designed to play
Speaker 4: exactly like that, went straight through inside choldn' scord.
Speaker 3: Wasn't a kid, no no, I goppted it from Bell
Speaker 3: but thirst and just give it to me. Got you
Speaker 3: on that one ran pasting his finger up nice?
Speaker 1: Could he play the ball left
