1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Three sixty Raby League from Every Angle, brought to you 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: by Regain joining me again the. 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 2: Great Pool Crawley. 4 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: That's been the journeys in Brent Reed and Michael carry 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Ona's in our top story brought to you by the 6 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: b by d Shark six Maage Bands TV crew from 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Training Crawls. 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, well match Love's playing mind games, doesn't he. So 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: he's up there today apparently, And yeah, he tried to 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 3: turn it into state of Origin and told him they 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: could get a little bit of vision at the start 12 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 3: of the session, and there was a bit of a 13 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: blow up, I imagine from the local media. 14 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. I I don't mind this. 15 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 4: I mean, imagine everything he's touching. The moment's turn to gold. 16 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 4: So I've got no issue with him doing I'm sure 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 4: I left the band next week and it'll. 18 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: Be supporting, supporting being in the meeting now I think 19 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: about it, I'm talking about I think. 20 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: It's good there what he did it in origin. 21 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 4: We're the conduits to the fans play. 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: But it's I mean, it's it's it's one of their 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: last sessions. 24 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: Probably give all access to public ground is that public. 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 5: It is not uncommon for us to be told you 26 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 5: need to leave venues and stop recording and things like that. 27 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 5: But if it's an open ground like I remember like 28 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 5: New South Wales trainer could you over Sometimes they kicked 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 5: the media up, but you can stand on the street 30 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 5: and watch. 31 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 4: I think the issue was there that that club for 32 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 4: ever in a day, ever since Wayne was there, it's 33 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 4: always been open. When Sieves was there, Kevy was there, 34 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 4: it was open and Madge is closed it down this year. 35 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 4: They're not used to it. 36 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 6: Do you think he would do it for a reason. 37 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: Do you think that there's something he wants Ezra man 38 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: or it's been all year. 39 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 5: It's been a year that the shifting procedures. As Ready said, 40 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 5: it used to be an open door policy at Brisbane, 41 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 5: but Madge is implemented the way most Sydney clubs operate. 42 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 5: So it's not something that's new this week. The media 43 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 5: bands knew, but not sort of locking media out of 44 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 5: training sets. 45 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: So it's not about pressure, it's not about you know, 46 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: semi final week pre lim game. 47 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: He's changed in paranoid, nothing like that. 48 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 4: He does like circle in the wagon, so it doesn't 49 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 4: he know a bit of a chip on the shoulder, 50 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: But I can't imagine it broak them and they're going 51 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 4: pretty good. Maybe they were two weeks to pare for 52 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 4: this game and. 53 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: They do that begins right. 54 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you've got Reynolds and men, and you know 55 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: they've got to shift there and keep positions, and you know, 56 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: most coaches, I'd say the majority of clubs don't want 57 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: to give too much away. 58 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: Calls might be right. 59 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 4: They want to keep some things under wraps. 60 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 7: But yeah, because I'll probably play a bit differently from 61 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 7: last time. 62 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 5: Adam Reynolds was right because of the way ree Walsh 63 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 5: has emerged, Ben Haunt back to six, and how they're 64 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 5: going to use exactly Ezra off the bench all. 65 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: Right now, Jared Haynes, Ben Barber, they got. 66 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: On hot streaks throughout the season and we're seeing one 67 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: right now. Reecee Walsh. Can he continue this hot streak 68 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: like those two that I just mentioned and take this 69 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: team all away? 70 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: I got no doubt it, Ken Breath, no doubt at all. 71 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: I mean I said you have to be in the 72 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: top four to win the comp. They finished in the 73 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: top four, so they're still alive in my rankings. And 74 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: the way he's playing, he wins games single so I 75 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 4: said that, I've said that all year. 76 00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 7: Many are in the top one. 77 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: Now he has the top four. 78 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: Now the top four is done and dusted. 79 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 7: Wee, there're the four remaining top side. 80 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: So they're not the top four finished finals Melbourne and Sharks. Sorry, 81 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: that's got. 82 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 4: But the way he's playing birth We saw him in 83 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: Canberra two weeks I mean, he was unbelievable that twenty 84 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 4: minutes to level that game in the second half. Mick 85 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 4: and I watch it again today and some of the 86 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 4: things he can do. He is a freak. 87 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: It does remind you of Hayne two thousand and nine, 88 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 3: the end of that season, and Barbara and what was 89 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: that twenty twelve. 90 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 6: The thing about both of them, they carried him to 91 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 6: the Grand Final, but neither one. But this is Haynes. 92 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 6: He was just he was so great that season. He 93 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 6: just cut him apart. They I think they got beaten 94 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 6: in the last. 95 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: Round by the Dragons who were the minor premiers I think, 96 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: and and then Paramatta beat him in the next game. 97 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: What it does highlight you know, when you look at 98 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Barbara the run he was on, you look at Jared 99 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: Haynes and the run he was on, and they just 100 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: fell short. 101 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: It does kind of highlight that. 102 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: One player really can't carry you all the way to victory. 103 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's happening in the past at some point, 104 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: but it's very difficult for one guy to just get 105 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: on a hot streak and just carry the team all 106 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: the way to the Grand file against the best teams 107 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: in the competition. 108 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 5: I feel like, unlike some of these other sides, that 109 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 5: Reese wash has players that aren't quite can't match him, 110 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 5: but can almost get to it. If Ezra runs hot, 111 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 5: yeah right, Tony Staggs runs hot. So I think that's 112 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 5: the difference between Reece Walshon and the Bronco side compared 113 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 5: to some of those others. 114 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 7: And Jo Raine was a one man man. 115 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm not for a second saying that the Broncos are 116 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: a one man of course, or that they just rely 117 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: on him. They're a much much more formidable team and 118 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: have some X factor really all across the park. So, 119 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: but he has been brilliant. Now could the game define 120 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: the legacies of Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt? 121 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: I think I think again definitely, Like if you go 122 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: through the individual careers here, so Adam Reynolds want a 123 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: premiership as a twenty four year old twenty and fourteen. 124 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: But since then he lost twenty twenty one at South 125 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: Sydney and he missed that vital goal near the end 126 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: of the game that could have locked the scores. And 127 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three they were home for all money 128 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: in that game and any way you look at it, 129 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: Adam lost control of the game and Cleary grabbed hold of. 130 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 6: It with Ben Hunt. 131 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: The twenty fifteen Grand Final, it's arguably the greatest Grand 132 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: Final of all time and. 133 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 6: The memory you take out of it is Ben Hunt 134 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 6: dropping the ball. 135 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: I think everyone remembers this moment. You've got to feel 136 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: sorry for you do. 137 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: And then seven seasons that the Dragons followed that, and 138 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: in seven seasons he made the finals once in two 139 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: thousand and eight, and then you go to this year 140 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: and yes they won in Week one of the finals, 141 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: but you know, he lands the match winning field goal. 142 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 6: Prior to that, he had a pretty ordinary game. In fact, 143 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 6: I'd say it was almost a shocker. 144 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 4: I think it's more important for Ben Hunt was as 145 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 4: you point out, Crawls, Adams wonicmp Ben hasn't. And I 146 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: think that's the key, right. I think you know Adam's 147 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: not perhaps under as much pressure from a legacy perspective 148 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: because of what he did at South the twenty and 149 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: forty Premiership. What it meant for that club was Ben 150 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: doesn't have it yet and that's the Grand Final memory 151 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: everyone's got of Ben Hunt. So I think in terms 152 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 4: terms of legacy, this game this week, next week means 153 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 4: if they get there, means a lot more to Ben Hunt. 154 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: Gordon's mentioned it previously though, in respect to Adam's two 155 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: thousand and fourteen Grand Final went taking nothing away from 156 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: the part he played in that, but at that time 157 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: if his career, you had Sam Burgess, you had Greg English, 158 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: you had John Sutton like they were the dominant forces 159 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: in that team. He's still ring here, he sure does, 160 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 3: and you don't take that away. But as a leader 161 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: he was the skipper of Sous and he was the 162 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 3: skipper of the Broncos, and as just in that respect, 163 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: these two guys will go down as among the great 164 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: halfbacks of their generations. But the lasting legacy people look 165 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 3: back at premierships. 166 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd argue CRUs that Adam Reynolds needs to walk 167 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 5: away with two premierships to go down as a grade 168 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: of his generation and for mine, Ben Hunt's probably not 169 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 5: there without a premiership, So I think you're right for 170 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: both those players they need to walk away with the 171 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 5: premiership ring for different reasons. 172 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Broncos no Patrick Carrigan suspended Billy Watters out 173 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: with injury. Have we overlooked or underestimated the losses of 174 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: these two? Not much has been spoken about it. 175 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: I think Patty is a huge loss for him. Patty Carrigan. 176 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: I think they named Tyson Smoothie at Locke. I mean, 177 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: you know, with due respect to Tyson Smoothie, he's not 178 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: Pat Carrigan, and I think that's a huge out for Brisbane. 179 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: I think that's been a little bit overlooked and underestimated. 180 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: Billy's been playing great footy, but they've got Ezra Man 181 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: and Ben haunterh can play where Billy was playing the 182 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 4: six yeersey, so I think they've got covered for him. 183 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: But Pat Carrigan's a huge out for the Broncos. 184 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously with Billy Waters as offset by the fact 185 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: that there an Adam a back now, right, But you 186 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,679 Speaker 5: look at Pat Carrigan, well, the best comparison is probably 187 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 5: in the opposite side. If he's out for Penrith. What 188 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 5: are we talking about all week? So I feel like 189 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 5: it has totally been understated. He's important to that site. 190 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 5: He's Lincoln man ability in the middle, the foil for 191 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 5: paying halfs now, it's all on payin halfs the shoulders 192 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 5: to control that middle. He had a great support in 193 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 5: Pat Carrigan over the last couple of weeks. So I 194 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 5: feel like we've really understated how much of it out he. 195 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: Is all right. The Panthers embraced the Samurai spirit. We've 196 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: seen this. 197 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: Before, haven't we a couple of times? Yeah, we had 198 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: the top gun you undisputed, We've had a few over 199 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: the years. I love what they do. We didn't normally 200 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: find it out after the Grand Finals. It's one of 201 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 4: the things we do on Sunday night after the Grand Final, 202 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: we go on the sheds and try and find out 203 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 4: what their theme was for the year. It is samurai, 204 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: got no idea, It just it seems like it seems 205 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: like it's working for him of late. 206 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's really said. 207 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 5: It's sort of like Nathan let the cat out of 208 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 5: the bag a little bit, which is not what they 209 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 5: usually do come Grand Final night. Oh, it's an open sladder, 210 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: they'll basically tell you everything. 211 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: Right. 212 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 5: So they've downplayed it this week, but obvious see there 213 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 5: is a hit of meaning there for the Penteple. 214 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: Whatever it's student's working for that Blake. 215 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: Always been a change in the culture at Pendri. 216 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: Have they gone from a much maligned team to an 217 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: admired one after the last few years. 218 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 5: Well, I think the way they've had to win the 219 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 5: comp this year, well sorry, to get to the situation 220 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 5: where they're at has really given them some admirers, no 221 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 5: doubt about that. 222 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 7: The fact that you know they'll last. 223 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 5: A lot of people wrote them off and they've done 224 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 5: it the hard way this year, and there is a 225 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 5: softening of sentiment out there. 226 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 7: I think you're fine. 227 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 5: I think the Warriors of Canberra were probably everyone side, 228 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 5: for those that didn't have a team in the top eight. 229 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 5: But I think a lot of people are loving the 230 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 5: fact that this is a rarefied air, something that we 231 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 5: may never witness again. 232 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 7: We're in the midst of greatness when it comes home. 233 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: It helps. 234 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: A couple of the spikier characters aren't there either. On 235 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: Steve Crichton's gone, but there was loads everyone loved to hate. 236 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: Even in their early seasons though they were they were 237 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: different persons. You've got this stuff here, you know, there 238 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: was the stuffing Joey Depine at Canberra. They were in 239 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: your face, they were out, they were abut to pick 240 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 3: a war. They wanted to back themselves to take on anyone. 241 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: But no question break over the years they have mellowed. 242 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 3: I think it's intentional. Even last year when Jerome was 243 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: still there, he came across as as a different person and. 244 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 6: There was there seemed to be. 245 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: Just a you know more. I wouldn't say maybe they're 246 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: just so used to winning now, but it's. 247 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 6: Wanted to change. 248 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: And maybe because I think it's definitely happened, there's there's 249 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: definitely been a change in the way that they carried on. 250 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 5: Have they just naturally matured as well given their age, 251 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 5: perhaps the fact that a lot of them are fathmas 252 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 5: and fathers now is as well. I feel like they've 253 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 5: just gone through that natural level of maturity that that 254 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 5: happens itslf. 255 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 6: But it's definitely got. 256 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: To the stage where when you talk to people now, 257 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: they they're almost gravity way heading towards the Panthers, like 258 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 3: they've become a very light team, whereas three or four. 259 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 6: Years ago they were very cross off the field. 260 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 7: They were always highly right. 261 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 5: They had this lair about them on the field, but 262 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 5: it never trans and even Jerome and likes that you mentioned, 263 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 5: they didn't carry that off the field, right, So it's 264 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: always carried a. 265 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 6: Grudge against you, did hen. 266 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: Gronk? 267 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: Was it only one or was there someone else you 268 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: went out of anyway? 269 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: Tony Stags has issued a warning to the Panthers fragile 270 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: left side defense ahead of Sunday sun call blockbuster. 271 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously, when I've been to girl for a while 272 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 8: now and he knows, you know, what I need, and 273 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 8: we know that they left edge struggles a little bit, 274 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 8: you know, so our main focus is breaking them down 275 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 8: and then hitting their edges. You know, were trying to 276 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 8: figure about that. We've moved forward from that now and 277 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 8: you know, we've not even been. 278 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: Talked this week about what happened in the past. We 279 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: just thought about focus on ourself and the game. 280 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: This and give you made your decision on where you're 281 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: going to play rep football. 282 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 8: No, I haven't at the moment. I'm just sitting off 283 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 8: that and I've spoke to both of the coaches. 284 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: Wolf and Kevy. 285 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 8: You know, I just told him, I just want to 286 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 8: play this season out and play good footing with the 287 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 8: Bronx and I'll have a thing after that. 288 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: Bronco is the target Panthers left edge? Are they vulnerable? 289 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: And I'll start this Katony Stags. What a year he's had. 290 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: He's so powerful and he's been the constant for the Broncos. 291 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: I think the most consistent player alongside with Paying Hass 292 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: for the whole year. Reece Wells, Yes, we know how 293 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: great he's been. That's been the last couple of months. 294 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: But for the whole year Katony Stags and it's been 295 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: his damaging, robust runs and it's and is where they 296 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: are vulnerable Penrith McLean TALANGI that they have on the 297 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: weekend second half, you know, the Dogs expose them to 298 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: a degree and they have been exposed a little bit 299 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: throughout the season. 300 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 2: Early on more so they got it right. But again 301 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 2: on the weekend we saw where we think. 302 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: Are going to target lost but to someone after that 303 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: game from the Bulldogs and they said we showed Brisbane 304 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 4: how to beat We showed in the blueprint because those 305 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 4: two blokes you mentioned, Tlangy McClain. They've both been outstanding 306 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: this season. They have, Let's not take anyway from them, 307 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 4: but they missed sixteen tackles between them last week, which 308 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 4: is between I think it was ten and six, which 309 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 4: is insane. 310 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: Number six. 311 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's all. I read. 312 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 7: A lot of dominated performance. 313 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 4: Just because that's gonna be a bit of misleading. 314 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: There was a lot because a lot because it's a 315 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 2: big number. I went back questioning you at all. That 316 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: was as well. 317 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 4: But Jacob Preston and Lachlan Galvin tore them up down 318 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 4: that edge last week. So you know, you've got Katoni, 319 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 4: who's one of the best tackle busting centers in the NRL. 320 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 4: If they don't go there, they're mad. 321 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 6: He's a bet and he said he's been. He's been 322 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 6: in great form. 323 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: That the one game all go and the Bulldogs did 324 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 3: expose it was the one good thing to come out 325 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: of the Bulldog's game last week is how they really 326 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 3: read them out there. The game I'll go back to 327 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: with Casey McClean though, was against the Bulldogs when he 328 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: marked up on Stephen Crichton that about ten weeks ago 329 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: or whatever it was, and I remember there was there 330 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 3: was so much focus and during that game, and at 331 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: the end of that game, you could see the pride 332 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: in Nathan Cleary where he went up to him and 333 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: he pat him on the back and it was, like 334 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: I thought at the time, it was McLean's coming of 335 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: age moment. 336 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 6: And so they have got it in him. Of course 337 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 6: he to fix the problem, but they definitely do need 338 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 6: to fix the play. 339 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: When you play a big game like this and you're 340 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: looking at a team like the Panthers, you're looking for 341 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: any deficiency at all, any possibility of trying to look 342 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: for a chink in their armor, and that's probably it. 343 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: You know, when that's the only one that it's glaringly. 344 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: Obvious, and you know, this is what you look for, 345 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: and this is what Brisbane and especially when you've got 346 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: the weapon of stacks like send him there, send him 347 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: there all day. 348 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 5: And all that's going to rest on Scott thrensons shoulder 349 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 5: as well, because he's that veteran on that side of. 350 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 7: The fields six as well. I think, are you just 351 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 7: plucking all these numbers? 352 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: Numbers? 353 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: A few, I've got some good ones going all right now. 354 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: The bit of rivalry nights on Friday nights. 355 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Some memorable moments in this long running feud between the 356 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: Storm and the Sharks crawl. 357 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 6: Hasn't there been some moments over the years. 358 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: Mick mckenni's pattern, Cameron Smiff's head, the twenty sixteen Grand Final, 359 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: Luke Lewis and Wade Graham how they used to almost. 360 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 6: Kill Cooper Kronk out there. There's yeah, there's been some moments. 361 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 7: Why are you knocking Ben better Ross with the elbow there? 362 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 5: And obviously you had Will Chambers in amongst that, a 363 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 5: lot of him and Paul Gallon had some famous and 364 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: slanging matches, inn't they so? And then obviously the culminated 365 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 5: in a Grand Final win with the Knolla Sharks. 366 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 7: So yeah, it's been. 367 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 5: It was one of the great rivalries in the game 368 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 5: for a couple of seasons, wasn't it. The intensity the 369 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 5: sledge in the camp Smith got. 370 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: So they do hate each other and the Sharks have 371 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: been known as mister nice guys until the last few weeks. 372 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: They've got their backs up, the intensity they have, right, 373 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: So this could get fire, could. 374 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 4: Do They've got a bit of a chip on the 375 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 4: should at the moment, don't they the Sharks, So they 376 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 4: could do. Braith and I don't know who's going to 377 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: who'll create the fire and these two sides this weekend. 378 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not sure. There's the Gallons of the 379 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: world and the World Chambers the world. That's a bit loose, 380 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: that is true. 381 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Nels. 382 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 6: Stay with great discipline. 383 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 3: That's been the key to their success, almost hasn't it. 384 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: Everyone does their jobs and they play with great discipline 385 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: and then keeps them in the game. I couldn't see 386 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: it potentially going that way. 387 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: I don't either. Actually, the more we talking about camera 388 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: this morning with some good news for storm Fir. 389 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, we'll see he gets through today. But from what 390 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 9: he's done the last couple of weeks, he'll be playing 391 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 9: for sure. As I said, you know, there'll be something 392 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 9: have to go drastically on today. Helm last year so 393 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 9: and he's played in Grand Finance. For him to come 394 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 9: back in that's a big boost for all the players, 395 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 9: but the club as well. So yeah, Bo, hopefully he 396 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 9: gets through today. But we're pretty confident. 397 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 2: Our love it Coat telling me they're saying hopefully he 398 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: gets through today. 399 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now. Jerome Hughes is playing 400 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: this week. There has been a lot of speculation rumors 401 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: and you endo you asked me before the show because 402 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: it is circular. 403 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is, that's the media. 404 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: But he is playing, he has been given the green 405 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: light and he will definitely start for the Melbourne Storm. 406 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: Do you think it's a good idea? 407 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 6: Well, you don't know. 408 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: All you know is that Jerome Hughes and Craig Bellamy 409 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: have come to the conclusion that they're happy with it, 410 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: that they feel it's a safe option. I just keep 411 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 3: going back to the fact that during the week Cooper 412 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 3: Kronk said if he had played that Grand Final and 413 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 3: that opposition had known that he had it broken scapula, 414 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: they would have lost the game. 415 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 6: That was his quote. 416 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: And so that gives you an understanding of how much 417 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 3: Jerome's going to be targeted. And then if something does 418 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 3: go wrong and your man Peasant's not there, it's tyrant 419 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: wish out that has. 420 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: To go out. 421 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 6: And he's done it before, but it's a different it's different. 422 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Just have a look at the numbers quickly. 423 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: Here Hugh's influence on the team since twenty twenty, He's 424 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: winning ay seventy seven percent. Without him, it's fifty four, 425 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: so significant over twenty three percent. But yeah, that's my 426 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: concern too though, Cruels, is that you know, Jerome needs 427 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: to play if he wants to play, and if he's fit, 428 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, and there's more chance for looking at the 429 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: numbers and just watching him play the last few years, 430 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: much better chance of winning the game with him on 431 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: the field. 432 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: If he does. 433 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: You know, if he does get injured early, they're in 434 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: some deep you know what they are because Wishare is 435 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: probably the best forwardeen in the comp but he's not 436 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: a seven and I fear that if he gets injured earlier, 437 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: it could go pear shape. So I pray for Melbourne 438 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: then Jerome that he gets through the game, and even 439 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: if he gets through the majority of it, they're a 440 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: big chance of winning. But if he doesn't and he 441 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: goes down early, they're in some trouble. 442 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're a smart club though, Breath. We 443 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 4: know that it was a calculator gamble, right. And I 444 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: spoke to the doctor last week he did the surgery 445 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 4: on Jerome, and he. 446 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: Said, because is it a broken a broken risk of 447 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: four arms, a four a plate. 448 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 4: He's got a plate and screws and that's only two 449 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 4: and a half weeks ago. Two and a half now 450 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 4: three round just on three. That just short of three 451 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: weeks when starts. That's not a long, that's a short. 452 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 4: It's a short couple. But he said he said he 453 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: used extra extra strong plates and screws, not the normal one, 454 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 4: extra strong one. But he was he seemed very confident 455 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 4: that heb okay and did you get through the game? 456 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 4: And he was a doctor of performing surgery breaks. Look, 457 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 4: I mean, you know it's a risk. We all know 458 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 4: it's a risk. But I think it's a risk they 459 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 4: got to take when you see those stats. Well, actually 460 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: I take that back, because Jonas played so well, they 461 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 4: probably don't need to take the risk. But it doesn't 462 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: prove their chance to win the footy game. Because we've 463 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 4: seen the stats, then we know what he means to 464 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: that footy team. 465 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 3: Well, they took a calculated risk in the game against 466 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: the Broncos, didn't it. Because he was coming back from 467 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 3: a dissocated shoulder and he went out there and it 468 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 3: was clear that his tackling technique wasn't the same and 469 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 3: as a result, he gets a fractured alated risk can 470 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: go wrong? 471 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 6: What good? 472 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 4: Or try and get him? When you brought up the 473 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 4: Cooper Kronk Grand Final me Melbourne tried to get it 474 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: him all night, couldn't get it wh near Cooper Konk 475 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 4: in the ground five. 476 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 6: But that's what Kronk was saying, that they didn't know 477 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 6: it was as bad as but. 478 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: They knew he had needed and they couldn't get it 479 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: in the cruel So you know, it's one thing to 480 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 4: say that you know they're going to go after Jerime 481 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 4: and test him out, but you've got to get there 482 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 4: and you've got to make it happen. You can't become 483 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: preoccupied with it. 484 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: I reckon the Sharks would fancy their chances now. Meanwhile, 485 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: Craig it's given won't be telling. He's seen to tone 486 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: things down after a noticeable shift in their attitude. 487 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 10: The boys are just sticking up for themselves and they've 488 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 10: got the confidence and belief and they're just backing themselves 489 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 10: and sticking up for each other in the club, and 490 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 10: I think it's great. I don't know how much they 491 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 10: are hearing or seeing or but it's clearly had an 492 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 10: effect on some of them and the fact that they 493 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 10: feel that ways great. 494 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 4: Am I going to stop that? 495 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 11: You get hardened by your heartache and we've had a 496 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 11: bit in the Semis for the previous years, so now 497 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 11: we've got a challenge on our hands, but we're excited 498 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 11: for it, and the boys do believe that we are 499 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 11: in a better position than we have been in Semis past. 500 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: Fitzi loves the new hard nosed attitude from his men 501 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: at the Sharks, and knowing Fitzy, that doesn't surprise him 502 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: because he had that hard nose edged himself Crawls and 503 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: there has been a shift. There's been a significant shift 504 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: in not only their performances but their attitude. 505 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 3: You can say it clearly in nic O Hollens, you know, 506 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: like he's walking around with it chip on his shoulder 507 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: and having the angry pills. 508 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 6: And sometimes you know. 509 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 3: From the outside looking in, you think, what are you 510 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 3: winging about? What are you complaining about? Who has disrespected you? 511 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: We've gone back over your records. But the thing I 512 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: do like about what's happening with Nico at the moment 513 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: is that whatever it takes, he's. 514 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 6: Lifted to the challenge. 515 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: And his last two games last weekend in particular, he 516 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: started to play the football that we've known for so 517 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 3: long he was capable of since he won the twenty 518 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: twenty two dally M Metal. We've known he had this 519 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: in him, and now he's he's lit that fire to 520 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 3: get the best out. 521 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: So sometimes in players, certain traits make them play better, 522 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: you know. And for Nicko right now, maybe playing angry, 523 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's really it's Letty's fire, you know, because 524 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: I remember even when I played, you know, people would 525 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: often criticize me because I was quite animated and over 526 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: the top, and then so I tried to tone it down. 527 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: I felt I lost. 528 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: I didn't play as well like there was certain there's 529 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: certain traits in the way that you play that make 530 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: you play better. And I think with him, he's been 531 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: such a calm player such you know, he's got a 532 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: cool head, but you know, don't really see much change 533 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: in emotion when he plays. And to see this anger 534 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: and to use it as motivation, it's really brought out 535 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: the best in him. 536 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: And I think he should just keep letting it right. 537 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: There's a still about him that we probably haven't seen 538 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 5: before break. You can see it in his eyes, you 539 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: can see it in his tone, and you can see 540 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 5: it in the way he's playing. I think he and 541 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 5: Brandon Trindle for a large chunk of their partnership. One 542 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 5: of them has played well, the other one hasn't the 543 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 5: first time they've been in sync together and I think 544 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 5: that's what's propelled him to a top four Now. 545 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: All right, stea round journos and the cricket is back. 546 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: Australia is set to take on New Zealand in a 547 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: three match T twenty series and it all begins October 548 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: one on Fox Cricket.
