1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Curbs is the big news last week. Well done to

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: the P and G chief land of their man, Jerome

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: Lewy where we've seen Perth really struggle to find themselves

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: a marque.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: Different approach, isn't it, Perth coming in sooner? Don't have

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: the sort of the character dangle. I've signed a few

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: players but haven't got that big ticket and Jerome Law Yes,

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: there's incentives that attract players to P and G. But

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: I think one of the key characteristics if you're trying

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: to form that club is you're going to have players

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: that care, that genuinely care about rugby league, care about

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: a legacy, because this is a big moment in the

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: game to take a game. A club to P and

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: G that loves its rugby league, but it needs help,

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: it needs infrastructure. And Jerome Lui perenrith Bourne loved it.

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Moves the Tigers. I thought he would struggle with a

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: new identity. He's Tigers through and through now and now

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: he's going to do the same thing at P and G.

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a good signing an amazing legacy. This

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: can lead. As we said I said on the show

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: last night, you can't get away from the fact cold

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: hard cash, tax free doggs. Okay, but you're also part

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: of something very very special. You know, you're part of

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: something which will transform a country. I think what we're

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: about to see what Rugby League can do is to

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: do what nothing has been able to do, and that

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: is just transformed this country and bring this country.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: There's two things that everyone that signs with P and

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: G will say, cash is king, which is obviously the carrot.

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: The other one is they're going to say that they

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: care about the legacy in the game, But do they

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: actually care? And that's going to be the key decision

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: because I actually believe what Jerome Lewis said in his

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: press conference, like he feels like, yes, it's a big

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: opportunity to selp his family and all those things. But

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: I think everywhere he's gone he's proven that he cares

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: about his teammates, cares about the club, and does everything

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: he possibly can to make a difference. So I think

39
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: it's a good signing. Let's see the Domino four off

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: the back of this mate coups.

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: It's a jiggle country mate like and we oftentimes we

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: think about your ginning and.

43
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: We straight away were on the payroll.

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I wish. I was like, you are some tax three

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: dollars even me, but it is an amazing country. The

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: big question is going to be who's next, because it's

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: changed the perception totally. People are going, yeah, tax three

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: dollars is that going to be enough to get players there?

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: The Jerome Luai signing is a game changer because I've

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: spoken a number of players now and I said, would

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: you would you consider now? Yeah, it's actually gone from

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: being a club yard which you know, to being a

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: club one of the most attractive clubs to sign.

54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: I think what they'll end up getting there's a lot

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: of people towards sort of the back end, like let's

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: say thirty year olds and a lot of aspiring young ones.

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to get a lot of

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: people let's call them in the peak of their powers. Yeah,

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: but I think that'll be their their list.

60
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure in this where it sits at

61
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: the moment, but the deal has been done through the

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Australian government. I don't know what it means for New

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Zealand players. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if they're

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: on as far as tax free, I don't know whether

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: it applies to them at the moment. I have no

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: clarification on it, but maybe it doesn't. If it doesn't,

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I tell you what, that's a little bonus for the Warriors. Yeah,

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: now the Roosters and the Broncos coups.

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: What do you make of it?

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Tear what? It shows you how the Roosters are on

71
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: the climb a little bit, but also show when Roos

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Welsh gets into a rhythm, they can chase any school,

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: any school back.

74
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: It was entertainment plus, but I'm not sure you should

75
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: get to thirty zero and still be a chance to

76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: lose the game, to be honest. But the way I

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: really like it is that Roosters the last two weeks

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: have sort of got the blueprint of handle how to

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: handle the new game. They're not finessing the ball sideways

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: too often. Well, they're doing and they're centralizing their attack.

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: When they find a crack or a quick play the ball,

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: they're staying there and they're not shifting all the way

83
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: from it. Because the way the game is, the longer

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: the set goes, the quicker the play the ball gets.

85
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: And Reece Robson was outstanding. Yes, Tedesco was good. The

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: halves had a bit, but Reece Robson here just sets

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: the time because he sees a crack, plays straight and

88
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: direct and the quick play. The ball just gets bigger

89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: and bigger as the set unfolds, and his service from

90
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: dummy half was top shelf. There's a lot of star

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: started players in terms of cherry evans and things that

92
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: will get the raps, but I think Reece Robson was

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: one of the more influential players on the field.

94
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: I reckon could that performance as cementity spot in the

95
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: State of Origin because my thing with there's three men

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: we talk about. We talk about Rece Robson, Abby Chorus,

97
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: and Blake Brailey. My thing was Robson is tough and

98
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: rugged and make his tackle. You've got the toughness of

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: State of Origin. Think about Brayley defensively, might have a

100
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: little bit of shortcoming, but he can give so much

101
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: an attack. I was learning Chorus how because he can

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: do a little bit of both. But what you saw

103
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: there from Rice Robson, you know, is that he was

104
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: showing us there, Hey listen, yeah, I can attack, and

105
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: you show one there before Cooper, I think a really

106
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: good example of you know, basically, if you've got your

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: foot in the door. You just keep going. And it's

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: a great example. He goes through Pacey's nose through and

109
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: what I like here it's Teddy. They made a dip

110
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: in the wall. Mate, they just keep going direct at

111
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: him again, exactly what you said. If you're firing into

112
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: a damn wall, just keep firing the same spot. Sinancially,

113
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: little Crack.

114
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: Teams train overspeed. What I mean by that is they

115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: train where they play. The ball speed is above what

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: anything would happen in the game, and the best way

117
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: to take advantage of that is exactly that way, Like

118
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: you don't go finessing the ball sideways unless it's an

119
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: obvious numbers advantage. Rehys Robson went the crack was there,

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: Teddy decided to go again and that was just a

121
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: short pass. Cherry Evans looked for a short pass, but

122
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: the dummy came out to play and he ran the

123
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: ball as well. So I think out of all the teams,

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: who's playing that sort of best style that takes advantage

125
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: of it. Because for me, I think the game is

126
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: at thirty nil the Roosters after about fifty minutes, well,

127
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: at halftime was twenty four nil. They had nearly seventy

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: percent possession, restarts, penalties, they score the points on the

129
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: second half, it flips the other way around. The Broncos

130
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: got the penalties, they got the restarts, and it was

131
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: Reese Waltz that took advantage of it.

132
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to talk. We were going to show

133
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: like all Teddy's handles in the first half, but I

134
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: think we're pretty clear. We know how he's playing at

135
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: the moment. It's just drilling the middle all the time.

136
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's have a little look at Rys Walsh. You know

137
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: what you know his handles and what he did in

138
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: the second half to get his side going. And I'm curious.

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them as a collective, but it's like

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: when he gets going, it's just like mate, it's it's unbelievable.

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: I think there was a tactical change from Michael McGraw

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: at halftime. The Rooster's middle forwards were getting the line

143
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: speed and shutting down any momentum that the Broncos had,

144
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: and the little shift was getting the ball to the

145
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: edges and tacking the Rooster's edges on the back foot.

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: Every time.

147
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: You know, Ree had a din it was because Cantoni

148
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Staggs on the right hand side was doing damage and

149
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: he was on the left hand side like attacking Sam

150
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Walker there, Yes, that's the thing, not attacking Lindsay Collins

151
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: and Victor Radley and Rhees Robson through the middle. He

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: was going at the edges.

153
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Yep, he was, you know, and he assumes a lot

154
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: more first first received responsibility and a little bit like

155
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: hoind I've heard a few people say this. You know,

156
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: when Reno goes off the field, you know the side

157
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: looks better, et cetera, et cetera. Well, you don't win

158
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: a competition and you don't get the finals in my

159
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: opinion against without that pure halfback of Annam Reynolds. But

160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: it's certainly when Reno's not there it forces him forward.

161
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, his touches go through the roof and that can

162
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: be only a good thing when, particularly when they're chasing points.

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: The thing I liked about it is that when there

164
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: was a touch he just went run first mentality as

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: opposed to pass. A lot of players get into pass

166
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: mode and it's not the right thing. He was looking

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: to run first, and then Sam Wall or the center

168
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: turned in and that's when the pass happened for it.

169
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: There a lot of talk in the game about how

170
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: quick the game's go on and purists saying, on you

171
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: know there's too many points scored. Well, I'll tell you what.

172
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: I could watch that Knights versus South games every day

173
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: in the next two weeks. I loved it. It was

174
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: one of the most entertaining games that I've seen dry

175
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon football. With two teams. They've got the ability

176
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to move the ball around the field. I thought that

177
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: night's early on. I mean the combination Brown Ponger Fletcher

178
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: Sharp is going to work. It clearly is They look very,

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: very good.

180
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: I think Oldbrooks coaching is just it's glass half full,

181
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: go and try it. Don't do that if you make sense.

182
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: So the fact that they know they've got some ballplaying

183
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: nuances that they need to improve from a technical point

184
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: of view. But when they've got the confidence of belief

185
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: that their coach backs them in, they can move sideways,

186
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: they can play straight. Klyn Ponger Jesus wish didn't get injured,

187
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: because I think he'd be up there in the dais.

188
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: He looks in great touch.

189
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Every time he touches a foot and really.

190
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: Cares on the like he's high five and his teammates

191
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: and every I noticed every try, every try assist he did.

192
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't look at me, it was high five and

193
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: every one surround and there's a bit of energy.

194
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And chip and blokes who made the like La Tron

195
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell Coops at the moment. My god. We've seen some

196
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: great power athletes in rugby league. I mean is the

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: first one, but way way back in the guy blokes

198
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: like Billy Boston and g I mate, honestly, I mean

199
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Kaylen Pong, just Kaylan Pong is a big man. He's big,

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: thick around the rump. Make him hold his own defense.

201
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 3: To talk about the one he ran over the top

202
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: of him.

203
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, look at that touch there, that flick.

204
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: But you know when he ran over the top of

205
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Kaylen here that mate, I don't know. I don't know

206
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: why he dislikes gags.

207
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: Look at that that.

208
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable loves of course he kicks his here and

209
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: the Ice fans would have been a give him the

210
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Bronx tier and a little bit of stick. And as

211
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: I said in the show last night, I've heard Latrell

212
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: has said to me mate. I love turning it on

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: a Newcastle because they didn't pick up control for the

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: Knights that we didn't pick him up.

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: This is a compliment or to say about Latrell when

216
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: he plays with that arrogance, and I mean like the

217
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: arrogance like he is the best player, like it is

218
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: infectious for the rest of his team, and he delivers

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: the majority of time when he sort of sits back

220
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: and is just yeah, I can get through this or whatever.

221
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: He comes in and out of games and I don't

222
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: know what Wayne Bennett did to him before that game,

223
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: but he's done enough. In the last period of time

224
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: against Melbourne he was exactly the same. Whatever is he's

225
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: done the last let's call it a month. That is

226
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: the blueprint for the next twenty weeks for Latrell because yes,

227
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: he's going to have some people comment about his arrogance

228
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: in a good way, so people aren't going to like it.

229
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: But for South Sydney's fans and for them to win

230
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: football games, if he carries that swagger, his team will believe,

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: his fans will be believe they can win, and he

232
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: normally lifts the occasion. Yeah, it was like Joanah Loomu

233
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: did something similarly in Rugby World Cup.

234
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Phenomenal that was That was Calen Pong.

235
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: As you said, it's not just a rookie, is a

236
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: big frame and puts his body on the line and

237
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: he just ran over.

238
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: Him like he was roadkill.

239
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: Really important win the other night for the Dolphins. If

240
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: they had lost their game, they'd be two and six.

241
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: That's a disastrous start to the season. They're three and five.

242
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: They've lost some tight games, but they're lost games. A

243
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: bloke who came back in the side and we racked

244
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: him a lot last year. I just think he's a

245
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: fabulous player. It's Kurt Dona who he he provides so

246
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: much assistance to Isaiahatwa and just a little one he

247
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: leads up to the first try, just a little bit

248
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: here and he catches his first Just watch just said

249
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: that little skip. It is Cartower like and obviously he

250
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: watches Isaiah. They work a little bit together, but just

251
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that little bit of a pause go forward, dragged him

252
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: in a little bit and then he then he gets

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: the ball at first receiver here in Oxford across the line.

254
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's just just things like that which I

255
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: think he makes a really big difference to this football team.

256
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a half back that's playing in the middle forwards,

257
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: and I think he can be a really big ace

258
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: up the sleeve of Christian Wolf from the Dolphins because

259
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: you put whether it's Gilbert or someone else that's the

260
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: middle forward, put them out there for the first twenty minutes,

261
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: and when there is fatigue, this is the guy that

262
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: would take advantage. I like Isaiah or Victor Radley for

263
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: the Russes. I like the fact that he realized that

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Harry Grant was pressing him.

265
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: Instead of running sideways.

266
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: Like most babble some ball players do, he actually leant

267
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: into it and said, come to me and I'll create

268
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: the space to the outside.

269
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: It's a big katoa plate pause, yep, come on, bring

270
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: it on.

271
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: And I think Cartel needs a little bit of help

272
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 2: that he's wrestling through teams trying to give him different looks,

273
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: like be aggressive or passive, because he hit the ground

274
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: running last year and was carving them up. So I

275
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: like that he can come in Donahue and help out

276
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: with a little bit of the ball playing, just to

277
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: free him up a little bit.

278
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: There's players in the in the Dolphins side who are

279
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: when Kirton who's not there. They're a side where there's

280
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: some explosive forwards, but there's some really workman like forwards.

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: He just needs that one player in the team with

282
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: just a little bit of class with the football to

283
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: help him out.

284
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: And he's tough too. It's not as if like he's

285
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: a turnstile defensively. He can defend for long periods of time.

286
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: Melbourne Storm, A lot of talk on that's so far

287
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: long ago. Was good, an incredible ridiculous number of things. Look,

288
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: we've spoke, we've spoken about the Storm and just this

289
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: year just surprised one how slow out of the blocks

290
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: they booon. Isn't the new rule? Well, I don't know,

291
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: as you know, the Storm should should But their ability

292
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: to control the ruck through the middle has been a

293
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: cornerstone of their success. The spreading up of the rucks

294
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: has affected that. But there was something the other night, Coop.

295
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: It was about system in us to go. Melbourne's strength

296
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: is just maintaining that middle, you know, And just this

297
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: rolls forward and I just want you to see at

298
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: this point how tired and how loose the middle is.

299
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: And that's a slow play the ball.

300
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: And there was a.

301
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: Few times in the game with some of the players

302
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: when the ball was shifted around and moved around, they

303
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: just looked out on their feet, you know, not so

304
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: much lazy.

305
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: Turn their back on the ball carrier of rule number one.

306
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: I don't do that.

307
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Just some of that stuff there where blokes are just

308
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: completely gone. It is clear clear how fatigued they are.

309
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: So Trent Liero caused that by turning his back of

310
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: the first ruck, which allowed the dummy half to get out,

311
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: and then that just put the middle forwards on the

312
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: back foot. And you do not turn your back when

313
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: there's a broken line. You've got to somehow get a

314
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: straight line. And if you have to concede meters, concede

315
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: the meters. There's just a couple of things, like defensively,

316
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the rule change that's hurting Melbourne. Yes,

317
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: they have been defensively strong and dominate the ruck for

318
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: a long time, but yeah, they should be able to

319
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: adapt to that. I think one of the things is that,

320
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: like we highlighted with Rhys Robson, I don't think Harry

321
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: Grant is getting dynamic enough play the balls for him

322
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: to be the first access to either run or pass,

323
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: so they need to find out ways to generate quicker

324
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: play the balls in the middle and when we marvel

325
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: at Munster and Hughes when they play laterally, I think

326
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: they just need to work out going around them is

327
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: not the best way every time. With these new rule

328
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: Sewer has proven that get him back on the inside

329
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: of players more often than on the outside of players.

330
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: I think that is a little fix for the Melbourne Storm.

331
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: And Cooper man, who's had an incredible impact on your life.

332
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Craig Belly me. Of course, the moments come out battling

333
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: illness and we send our best to belliate. No one

334
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: who's more respected in the game than Craig, but Coop.

335
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: There's the respect like the father like impact it has

336
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: on all those players. There's no doubt this has had

337
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: an effect.

338
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it has.

339
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: You know he would have been wrestling with this in

340
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: his own mind at different stages.

341
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: Do I say something me? Do I know?

342
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: His natural tendency is no, I'm not going to tell anyone.

343
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Then the perfect stormer upts in terms of losing games,

344
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: him feeling a bit rattled, et cetera, et cetera. And

345
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: then those those players may have felt a bit of

346
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: a disconnect or something like that. But at the end

347
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: of the day, Craig Bellamy is still a very good coach.

348
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: He is still a.

349
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: Very good man, and he will turn those players from

350
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: average players into great players.

351
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: He can still coach. I never doubt himself. Craig development.

352
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Mate the Cowboys. I thought the Cowboys slow start to

353
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: the year had them in the Sharks so hard like

354
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: again the middleman. I just thought of the Cowboys, Tom

355
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: h Thomas mcayley, and Matt Lodge. Matt Lodge, I think

356
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: he's playing the best football I've ever seen. His crew.

357
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: Taw Malalolo has just wound the clock at Mckayley's just

358
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: been devastating off the bench.

359
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: Tel Malolo has played some really good games, but what

360
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: he's doing this chunk is really good. What he just

361
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: equal thirst as most games played. He'll break that this weekend,

362
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: play three hundred in a couple of weeks. I think

363
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: they're call this accidentally well built for the new rule,

364
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: because this rule came out in January of Februar or whatever,

365
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: and I don't think too many teams have recruited this way.

366
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: But they've got big power, physical middle forwards that can

367
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: bend the line and create momentum. Ried Marty's had an impact.

368
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: He's doing some nice creative things. But as soon as

369
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: that line is disconnected, they've got running halves, They've got

370
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: Chester and perdue that as soon as there is a

371
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: break in play or someone step back, that gap is

372
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: going to be too big for them to slip through.

373
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if they meant it, but they've accidentally

374
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: fell into prototype because it's a bit like we highlighted

375
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: with the Roosters when they find a crack through Tel Malolo.

376
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: If I'm telling Dearden or Clifford Orde, as soon as

377
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: Telmlola runs, you should think run next, because there is

378
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: just chaos and a disconnected defensive line that that is

379
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: the opportunity to run, not shift the ball, go through

380
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: the front door.

381
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: This is going to be an intriguing State of Origin

382
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: series because of the new rule, the thirteen. The thirteen.

383
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you come to a change, I think.

384
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: The referees will referee it the same way years now,

385
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more go yeah. I think the penalties

386
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: in the restart are playing a big chunk in teams

387
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: getting possession right and if you've got smart, powerful forwards

388
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: and running backs. You'll take advantage of that. In origin,

389
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: they shouldn't change, but I think they will. I don't

390
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: think it's going to be as chaotic given that the

391
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: whistle normally goes in the the Dogs.

392
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: They get very annoyed when we talk about the Dogs

393
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: when everyone anyway does. They always talk about outside noise.

394
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is we're all talking about them

395
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: when they're firing. They are a big club, a huge support,

396
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: very important Western Sydney club and at the moment they're

397
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: straggling Coop. When we talk about the Dogs all the time,

398
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: we're always referring to their attack, and their attack is suffering.

399
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think they're obsessing over their attack

400
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: a little bit too much. They're always trying to get

401
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: these new patterns and new sequences on try to bring

402
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: the best out of their attack. When they win football games,

403
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: they win on the back of defense, right. And in

404
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: the previous season there were stats being dug up all

405
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: the time on you know TV second is not good

406
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: enough for this because you're not doing that. The bottom

407
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: line was what they were told that they might have

408
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: been at the top of the table or very close

409
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: to The bottom line is defense was doing that for them.

410
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: It was the defense. In my opinion, they need to

411
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: take the focus off their attack and just focus on defense.

412
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: That's what That's what got them win against Penrith.

413
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more.

414
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about what happens behind the scenes or whatever,

415
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: but from my perspective, whatever they did against Penrith, it's there.

416
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: That is their blueprint.

417
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: And did they outsmart Penrith in terms of attacking game plan?

418
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: No.

419
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: Their line speeds really frustrated and suffocated Penrith, which hardly

420
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: ever happens. One thing that you said about the sequence

421
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: right like you can see when they get near the

422
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: try line, it is sequencing. What I mean by a

423
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: sequencing it is, Okay, we're trained to go one to

424
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: the right, then we'll do this play to the left,

425
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: and then we'll pretend that we're going to pull our

426
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: big play out to try and score, but we'll do

427
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: another drop off play and then set the middle. Even

428
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is, I don't care what play you've got,

429
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: execute the play to the nth degree and your score

430
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: a point. What I mean by that is, have you

431
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: know Jame and Salmon running the right line, have Lachlan

432
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: Galvin getting the ball at the right time. The combination

433
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: of Galvin and Preston on the right hand side is great.

434
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: He moved back to the left hand side. There's a

435
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: little bit of clunkiness that happens with that. So look,

436
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: don't try and make it this beautiful picture.

437
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: Just be great at the roles of whatever play.

438
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: It is sometimes coops is that you can put all

439
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: these beautiful players on and all the rest of it,

440
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: but the most dangerous play is a smaller man isolating

441
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: a big man at taking enrollment, spoed and footwork.

442
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: They do look like a little bit like Penrith did

443
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: last year when I was struggling a lot of players

444
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: just going back in because that's what we've trained. Yes,

445
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: a little bit more advantage right line running, and a

446
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: little bit more quicker play the.

447
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: Balls, mate, We're just like boys. Get forward, bend the line, back,

448
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: play it quick. Things will happen. The one shining light

449
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: on the dogs in the Dog's attack had been their

450
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: right hand side, the combination which has formed with the

451
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Lachland Galvin and Jacob Preston. As that combination is formed,

452
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: you've seen the rapid improvement of Lachland. Then they move

453
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Preston to They put him on the left hand side

454
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: of the field. I don't know whether they were trying

455
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: to basically get more to their left side and ask

456
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: him Galvin to swing to the other side more. But

457
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it.

458
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: It's something I have to work through because kick ours

459
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: out for a while. He's got that peck injury and

460
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: he is an absolute beast and an influence on that sign.

461
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 2: But I like what Galvin and Preston have delivered together.

462
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: I would move Preston back to his original spot and

463
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: find someone else for that left hand side. The other thing, too,

464
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: is Stephen Crichton starting to move around a lot more.

465
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 2: And I don't mind that, but when he moves around,

466
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: he needs to have an impact because you can't just

467
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: move your right center to the left for the sake

468
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: of it and then have no option back out to

469
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 2: the right hand sign.

470
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Just a couple a couple of quick mentions here. I

471
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: thought the Sharks were outstanding. Ka Lero is just that,

472
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: he's just a powerhouse mate. He was superb to Wilton

473
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: got a hat trick. I thought Nicko Hines was terrific.

474
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: Braill he was very very good. Big blow of course

475
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: to the Tigers. I mean Adam do a desiccated shildon,

476
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: Samuel l Farnhu going off with the leg injury. The Warriors,

477
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: book mate, they just they just keep on keeping on

478
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: time and two of Picky was superb again Jackson Ford

479
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Clark, I tear what coops, it's it's it, it's

480
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: turning in it. It's a pretty amazing competition. The other

481
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: team I want to talk about the moment was Paramount Paramatta,

482
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: for all the intensive purposes, has just been going forward

483
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: forward forward. This year they've been smashed by injuries. Jason

484
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: Rowles's side find themselves at the moment. Fifteenth on the ladder.

485
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Really interesting. Ronald Walkman in the sixth Jonah Pezzant played

486
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: New South Walls Cup on the weekend. I wonder about

487
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: that whether it's got more to do with form or

488
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: it's similar to the Dylan Brown situation where last year

489
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: he put him back to say, you know what, he's

490
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: not going to be here next year. Put Ronald in.

491
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: Ronald Walkman, I mean, what do you make of it?

492
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: The Eels and the Warriors game, it was obvious that

493
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: the Eels were going to have to play out of

494
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: their skin because what I love about the Warriors is

495
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: they are the most consistent teams competition outside of Penrith.

496
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: They do all the right things for long periods of time. Yeah,

497
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: the good completion rate defensively really good. So you're going

498
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: to beat the Warriors, You're going to have to match

499
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: it with them and then come up with something else.

500
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: The Eels started okay, they had some good energy, but

501
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: after twenty minutes that energy went away.

502
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 3: They fell back into old habits.

503
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: The Jonah Peasant thing for me is interesting because at

504
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: the start of the year, and even I said, I

505
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: thought Mitch mos was going to have a great year

506
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: because of the influence of the ability of having someone

507
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: else to help him out. But Pezitt's defense is the

508
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: thing that led him down when he was able to

509
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: play with for his injury. So I think it comes

510
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: back to if Pezant improves his defense, he'll be in

511
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: the side. But it doesn't matter any half back in

512
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: the competition. If you're not willing to make your tackles,

513
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: you will not make it in first. But you could

514
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: have the best side step, the best long past, whatever

515
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: it is. But defensively you get found out at some.

516
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: Stage to finish with just a couple of mentioned with

517
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: a couple of young heartbaks. Joey Walsh finally got his start.

518
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: No tougher debut than coming up against the Penrith Panthers.

519
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: I thought he did some really nice to show some

520
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: good stuff and the other really good one for the weekend.

521
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really important game for Ethan Sanders.

522
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: Sander's been a little bit inconsistent after that first great game.

523
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: On the weekend. It was out without some key men,

524
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: including his you know, his right hand man, Ethan Strange,

525
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: and I thought he was really really good.

526
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: I think Sanders for me like he's he's got a

527
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: good temperament that can have a long career because the

528
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: way that he handles himself, the way he plays Joey Walsh.

529
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: On the other side, he's got this swagger, like the

530
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: no look past all the kuhatsu and things like that.

531
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: But I think the Raiders versus the Titans, your club

532
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: needs to improve math you.

533
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: We'll finish on a high about

534
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: H
