1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Coops. There's he will relinquish the coaching position at the 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: end of the year. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 2: Josh and A comes in. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: He had much to do with Josh. 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 3: No played against him. 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 4: He's involved in the Queensland origin sign and Billy's got 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 4: big raps. Like publicly he has stated, but even behind 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 4: closed doors says that Josh Hannay is a big part 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 4: of what he's been able to do on the Queensland team. 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 4: Like if you Josh is the defensive coach for the 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 4: Queensland team, and if you look at Game three and 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 4: what happened to Queensland, how they won. They designed a 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 4: defensive sort of system that spooks Nathan Clear in a 14 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 4: big game like they were coming forward coming back. So 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 4: and that's got credit to do with him. And he 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 4: cut his teeth at host Plus Cup. South Slogan's for 17 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 4: a couple of South Logan for a couple of years, 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 4: did everything that coaching needed to there. So you talk 19 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 4: about apprenticeship, he's done it. He's been exposed at interim 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 4: coaching level for a little bit. So this isn't a 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 4: hail Mary pass. I think this guy's ready. We're about 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 4: to find out. 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Well, the Frazult family of course who only Titans. 24 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, they know how important this next appointment is 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: and the parently they've been very thorough that they reached 26 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: out to Billy, And my understanding was just as you said, 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Billy had enormous raps recommend. 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: I agree with it. They have to get this right. 29 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: It's a big one coast times. They have to get 30 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: some success there. They need to get a consistent team 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 4: that plays finals, because we've always said this, they're a 32 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 4: talented team that list has enough talent that should be 33 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: playing finals. And maybe Joshana is the guy. 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Last Friday was saying that this Friday night football coming up, 35 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and oftentimes it doesn't live it up to the billing, 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: but it did that. I haven't seen a better finish 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: to a rugby league game than that first game was victory. 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 4: The only one that sort of matches it in recent 39 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: memory in terms of delivering on the occasion was Rooster's 40 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 4: Tigers two ten finals series. 41 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: I remember that with Braith kicking the field goal and 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: can out. 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 4: But what happened in Mudgie one top of the ladder 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 4: first team five Physically they were into each other to 45 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: start with, and it was just moments of brilliance throughout. 46 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: It, like it was Jeeuz Strange in weeks what they did. 47 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: Like Nathan Cleary absolutely smokes this kick and it hits 48 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: the upright and Stewart doesn't get enough raps for what 49 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 4: he does here. A lot of players would just sit 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: and watch, and the two dangerous people on the plat 51 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 4: Park for the Raiders got the ball when the game 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 4: was on the line. Ethan Stranger's ability to run and 53 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: break tackles and then weeks to cover like that, it was. 54 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: It was the best thing I've been a. 55 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: Part of and coops and we say this oftentime in 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: this podcast. What is really crucial in big moments is 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: the most basic fundamental And when Ethan Strange went in there, 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: what he did at the very end simple two on 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: one and executed it, you know, and he had come 60 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: across said it was it was a bit of a 61 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: tricky past, but he executed. Now, as you watched the 62 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Weekend with the Night the last two weeks, I reckon 63 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: that they've bombed half a dozen opportunities on two and one. 64 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the other thing too is the try 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: to go to Golden Point. Oh yeah, Like that's a set. 66 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 4: Play done in the video analysis room and Ricky and 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: the coach of stuff. 68 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: You know, we've got this little idea. 69 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 4: What do you think And with a couple of minutes 70 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: ago on the clock, Jamel Foggi delivers the knockout blow 71 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: for him. There was moments in that game where so 72 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: the Raiders have been so good all year. They've got 73 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 4: Tarpani and Papoali in Hawsbro, they've got Strange Weeks, tymical 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: the outside backs. But I think off the back of 75 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 4: that game, I think Jamel Foggety is the key to 76 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: Canberra success. Like his King game is rock solid. He 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: can turn a okay set into a really good one. 78 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: But his key part, and he needs to get this 79 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: right through September, is knowing when to pass the ball 80 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: and who to pass it with. 81 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: I thought he played too many short passes. 82 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: This one here Hudson Young like he may have been 83 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: setting up the game. But when you've got this, see 84 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: he get. 85 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: The ball to Strange, so strange they put his hands, get. 86 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 4: The ball out because he is dynamic, and he gets 87 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 4: it to him this part here short pass, but he 88 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: then gets the ball when the game's on the line, 89 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: who does he go to he goes to Strange, sets 90 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 4: up a try here, get the ball to Strange, not 91 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 4: every time in Weeks. I'm just saying his decisions in 92 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: September are going to be the key to whether the 93 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 4: Raiders lift the trophy. 94 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: And you get it. We oftentimes go back to our 95 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: playing days and I listen, I. 96 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: Remember Alan Bell. 97 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: He came up with the blocks, the block for the 98 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: block that was his play, and he said, what's really important, 99 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: he said, on a sweep block play sweep option, he said, 100 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: the guy at the back has got to let the 101 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: got to help the ball player. So he'd be like, 102 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: if you're sweeping behind, he said, help your ballplayer. If 103 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see them start to jam 104 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: outside in he's to say, yell, play demand it, and 105 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: that helps you helps the ball player. 106 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 4: And I'm not saying he has to pass the ball 107 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: to Weeks and Strange every time, but you can play 108 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: to your back roller and set the game up for 109 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 4: the back end of the game. But through September, the 110 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: decision making of Fogty for me, becomes absolutely key. If 111 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: he gets it right, gets the ball the stranger Weeks 112 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: at the right time, typical, and that will score. If 113 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: he plays too many short passes. They probably missed their chance. 114 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Be right cooping it like you've got k Weeksky Weeks, 115 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: You've got Ethan Strange. But the steady man is the 116 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: most important. He's the steering one. 117 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 4: They're running a similar system to Penrith. You've got Strange 118 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: on the left, Weeks on the right, and Jamal is 119 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 4: doing the guy that. 120 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 3: Plays both sides of the rock. 121 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 4: So his decision making of when to pass and when 122 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: not to is the key. 123 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: Great performance and Raiders on the perspective that the way 124 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: that the Panthers built they've built their game beautifully, like 125 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: lots of inside balls, wearing out the middle, and I 126 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: thought where they're really doing a job on the young 127 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: Raiders yere but the Raiders stamina and the. 128 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 3: Belief the Panthers were in the sweet spot. 129 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: They were playing the game when Martin scored just in 130 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 4: the second half, they would dominating field position, defending really well, 131 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 4: and the Raiders just grinded away at them. They got 132 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: a couple of penalties and a bit of field position. 133 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: But when the game was on the line, normally NA 134 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: think Clear is the guy that stood up. But there 135 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: is two superstars emerging our competition. Their names Ethan Strange 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 4: and Kyle Wicks. They were tremendous in the moments. 137 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: It was watching Penrith. 138 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: It was interesting seeing seeing guys make errors the last 139 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: couple of which it is unusual for them, like Dylan 140 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: Emwood's come up with a couple of care eras, which 141 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: is unlike Dylan, He's usually like Sounders pound And it 142 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: was funny watching in one essence of their game Penrith, 143 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: they was so disciplined, so good defensively, they defend their 144 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: line so well, but then they they get bought, they 145 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: get possession back and they just make it. 146 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: A costly error. Where do you think they sit in 147 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: relation to the other top teams. 148 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 4: I think Penrith deserve a There's a lot of credit 149 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 4: for where they were to where they got to the 150 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 4: last two losses. 151 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: Have I think they've missed the chance of fishing the 152 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: top four. 153 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: Have they used all their energy up in trying to 154 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: get their season back to a level two golden point games. 155 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: I still think they're a dangerous team. 156 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 4: I don't see them winning the comp this year, but 157 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 4: they are a dangerous football team and it's a bit alarming. 158 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: Not alarm, he could be easily fixed. 159 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 4: But the Dylan Edwards error Leam Martin not tackling Judge Stewart. 160 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 4: There's a couple of moments that their senior guys would 161 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: like to have back. 162 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: You can't have that in September. 163 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Do you see when guys make errors like that? Do 164 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: you see that as fatigue again? 165 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: To start the year? 166 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: They had an amazing run through the middle of the season. 167 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: We said, the drama with the slow start is you 168 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: can spend your pennies get into the fight again. 169 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 4: And I feel like that'll be their storyline. They'll they'll 170 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 4: get to week one, maybe maybe fall over week two. 171 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,559 Speaker 4: But this isn't young guys that you would be worried about. 172 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 4: This is rep players have done it. So it's probably 173 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 4: a conversation that I have and clearly goes, hey, hey, Dylan, 174 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: we need to get back to being the best fullback 175 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 4: and holding on that football. 176 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: Before we talking about the dog storm. 177 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: Isn't it funny this time of the year, Coop, get 178 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: up this morning, come home this morning, come. 179 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: Home this morning. 180 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: A little bit after okay, just after half past as 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: as my saying, Cooper is leaving together of work, I'm 182 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: coming home. 183 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: Trish goes great example, but it's. 184 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: Time of the year. You know, you get there and 185 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: you just that warmth in the air, like it just 186 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: feels when you're a player. It just feels different, doesn't 187 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: It's exciting. 188 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: And it does. I think there's a lot of energy. 189 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: We talk about energy and momentum, and the teams that 190 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: have momentum, like whether it's placebo or real, like, it 191 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: does lift you through September. The birds are chirping, the 192 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: sun's out, the weather's better, and if you have confidence 193 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: in your footy team, you can ride that all away 194 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: to Grand Final. 195 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: That Dogs going into the game. 196 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: What's funny here going into that game the other night, 197 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: those sixty to one to win the comp six dollars fifty, 198 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: they've got that to nines. I totally disagree with that. 199 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: I actually really liked what I saw in the Dog's 200 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: performance from what they found in the second half their 201 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: second half coop. 202 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: They found their formula. They had far less. 203 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: Emphasis on trying to force the football and force their attack, 204 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: and they just poured their energy into their defense and 205 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: I thought they looked very, very good. They're unlucky not 206 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: to pinch it. 207 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 4: I think the Dogs are still a threat. I agree 208 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,119 Speaker 4: with you. On their day they can get it done. 209 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 4: But over the last month, I think there's a key 210 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 4: part of the game that's becoming obvious. That the Dogs 211 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 4: do it well, and they win this area, they'll win. 212 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: If they lose it, they'll lose. It's rock speed. Their 213 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 4: smaller middle forwards are their strength and their weakness. If 214 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: they get slow play the ball Kurt Man Hayward current, 215 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 4: they're going to struggle running into paying hass mostly over 216 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: the rooster's back right. But if they get ruck speed 217 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: with Ford momentum, the way they shift the ball in 218 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: their footwork will put those bigger forward backs under threat. 219 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: So I feel like I've learned a lot about the 220 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 4: Dogs if they win the ruck more than note, I 221 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 4: think they can win the camp if they play off 222 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: for slow play the ball. I don't know their smaller 223 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: bodies can get the Ford momentum that their spine are 224 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 4: going to need to make good decisions. 225 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Watching them defend in the second half, it was a rushing, 226 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: swarming defense. He reminded me of so much of you, Blakes, 227 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: And there's two thousand and six, seven eight those years 228 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that you didn't have as big a 229 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: pack as a lot of the other sides. But you 230 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: you were like the pack was like Hyena's defended likenas 231 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people and tackled. And the second half 232 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: that's how the Dogs defended. 233 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: It was almost like seraldo give them a rocket and said, 234 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 4: we're not doing the bulldog style football. 235 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: Go out there and defend and defensively. 236 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 4: Their leg speed is a good thing because they can 237 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 4: move fast across the field better than most. 238 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: But when they want to score, got to win that. 239 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: I got to win the ruck. They need to find 240 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: a way to have faster to play the ball. 241 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: Speed thought. I thought Galvin was very, very good, and 242 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: people go, I'm not a Galvin. 243 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: You've got to talk about him. 244 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: He's the seven. I thought that. I thought his ability 245 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: to sort of break out of the structure a little bit. 246 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 1: I like the way he ran the football. He was 247 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: constant danger, sort of poking his nose through. I will 248 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: say this, Coup, I still maintain I don't see Locky. 249 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't see him as a seven. I don't think, 250 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: to me, Locky is that roaming skillful Thirteen's that's how 251 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I see. You know, at the moment, we're seeing Dewey 252 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: in the seven before he got injured in the weekend, 253 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: and he's playing for me do he will evolve into 254 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: that thirteen sort of role. And that's how I look Galvin. 255 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what if he put on size and 256 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: went down that thirteen path. Look, jeez, a bit very 257 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 4: smart thirteen. There's one thing that I think thirteen's don't do. 258 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 4: Isaah is the pinnacle, rightans don't kick. Imagine if you 259 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: had a ball playing thirteen who could kick as well. 260 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: Galvin's got that in his well. 261 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 2: There's some positions that continually evolve and thirteen to one. 262 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: You know, thirteen. 263 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: Traditionally was a thirteen. Traditionally, you know, through the seventies 264 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and the eighties was a short was almost a short 265 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: side playmaker. He was like the second six, and then 266 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, through Bradley Clyde, he became a 267 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: meta reader. And then all of a sudden, because we 268 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: class him as the middle, now they become tamalolo and whatnot. 269 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: And now what we're starting to see is going, Okay, 270 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: we've got to score points to win and to start 271 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: to become more of that skillful player. 272 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 4: I think I think Galvin could be a seven and 273 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: I think he can be a very very good seven. 274 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 4: He's got to improve in a couple of areas, like 275 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 4: his king game needs to evolve, but that will come 276 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 4: with time. Like we always judge our young players the 277 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: thirty year old version of themselves. 278 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 3: Right in three years time, I think. 279 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: This guy can be a dominant seven in the comp 280 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: But right now he's got some areas to improve. And 281 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: if you can get that done, there's no doubt that there're. 282 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: A threat, a little bit of a trainspot, a thing 283 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: that we like to do. And let's have a look 284 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: what he does. He does little drop off play. There's 285 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: not a lot on here, and so what he does 286 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: he decides to burn a play. Okay, we just stop 287 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: it there now. If you're going to burn a if 288 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: you're going to burn a play, I think you've got 289 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: to burn you got to You've got to get something 290 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: out of the play. And how you do that is 291 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: you burn a play and an opposition middle And you 292 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: see Penrith do it a lot. They always when they 293 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: do an inside ball, Penrith are always sending the ball 294 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: back to the post. 295 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 2: If this was Penrith, h'it hit on the outside there? 296 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: Because you want to make the opposition middles make more 297 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: and more you try, you want to burn out their engine, 298 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: and that that's just it's only a tiny little one there, 299 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: But that's if I was a coach, that's advice i'd 300 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: do to Lockeye. I'd say, if you're going to burn 301 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: a play, burn the play toward the middle, toward the posts. 302 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 4: It's funny like we always go through this argument around 303 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 4: versus ad lib, right, and anyone who thinks they play 304 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 4: eyes up six tackles in a. 305 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 3: Row, they're off their head. 306 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. 307 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: You need to reset the field position at some stage. 308 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: But the way you reset can be pedestrian or it 309 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 4: can be dynamic, and you'd lean towards dynamic, because the 310 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 4: more you can create chaos in the defensive line, the 311 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: more opportunity you'll get the ball to the threat. 312 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: Where it needs to. 313 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: You don't burn a play just for the safe. 314 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: Back in the day, it was always come on, let's 315 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: just take a settler and let's reset. But unfortunately, if 316 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: the if the kettle's boiling, and then all of a sudden, 317 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: you go, okay, let's just reset to give ourselves more 318 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: thinkings on Essentially, all you do is resetting the defense. 319 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: Well, one example would be if you're doing a reset play, 320 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: have support players running with that person taking the hit 321 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 4: up because that might take one person out of the tackle, 322 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 4: and therefore you're only going against two, So always have 323 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 4: a support player. 324 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. 325 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: First off you said about winning the ruck. 326 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Melbourne just destroyed the Dogs in the first 327 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: half on the tackles one, two, three. 328 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: Their outside back just punched holes. 329 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: In these clips here have just bodies pushing straight through 330 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 4: and that's probably why Sirealdo came out with a completely 331 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: different defensive team the second half because at stages the 332 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 4: Dogs weren't swarming. They were getting beaten inside shoulder. That's 333 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 4: an outside back through the heart of the two front rowers, 334 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: find in their front and then take one next play through. 335 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: That's right, And in the second half they really addressed it. 336 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: The second half they. 337 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: Were able to shut the plate play one, play two down. 338 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: And this is the thing, you know, was playmakers all 339 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, If if they're not getting forward on 340 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: play one and two, your outside backs, then all of 341 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: a sudden in all you're thinking about that set of 342 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: six is like, come on, boys, just get me forward. 343 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: And we're going to kick long. If all of a 344 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: sudden they start punching holes in early, you start getting 345 00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: on the front foot and you get interested. 346 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 4: And this is where our game can be a bit scientific. 347 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 4: So the dogs, for example, we're being blown through the ruck. 348 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 4: Too many spaces in their shoulders, so camera Serrealdo would 349 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: have said, get our shoulders tied it together and don't 350 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 4: let that space. 351 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: But then the Melbourne Storm have the ability to go 352 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: around you. 353 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: So if you go too tight, then you've got the 354 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: ability to go around. So that's where the science of 355 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 4: our game plays. 356 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: Who was good till he entrepreneur? 357 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my god, he was sensational. 358 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: It's come back. He had a stint out injured, no 359 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: coincidence when he was missing out of the side that 360 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: fell into that patch of inconsistency. But I thought he 361 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: was powerful. 362 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 4: He's got that physicality, but the leg speed, like he 363 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 4: goes from zero toe hundred pretty quick and it's almost 364 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: like every carry is like you're gonna have to hit 365 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: me with everything you got when he gets it right. 366 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a dangerous player. 367 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,239 Speaker 1: Just the little one again with Tyren Wisher has been fantastic. 368 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: What I really like about Tyron Wishart is that he's 369 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: taken his skill set to the Jersey. When we say 370 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: this quite a bit. He doesn't let the number on 371 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: his back dictate how he plays. And there was a 372 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: good play the other night he set out the first 373 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: try and he used what we call split play and 374 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: it's a great play for running seven because because it's 375 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: a running play, it gives you the option to run 376 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: with the football, gives you an extra second of sight 377 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: time and for running players it's gold. 378 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 4: I think it's it's good that when you get a 379 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 4: new or an inexperienced seven coming in to have an 380 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 4: attacking system that is familiar and reliable, because if you've 381 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 4: got the right people in the right places all the time, 382 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 4: Tyron can back his running game. If he's got people 383 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 4: not in the right space, Matt Burton doesn't turn out 384 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 4: bronze and Cherry doesn't look to the outside. So you've 385 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 4: got to put people in and around and experience seven 386 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 4: as opposed to there's the Keys to the Ferrari takers. 387 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: For a ride. 388 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, what about Tyn wish Up Does he play seven 389 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 4: or nine this week? 390 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: So no, Harry Grant. 391 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 4: Did you keep him at seven? Orould you move in 392 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 4: a nine and bring Peasant in. 393 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: I think Past will go to I reckon he'll go 394 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: to seven. I reckon Tyrant will go to nine. I 395 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: think that's where it all because thinking about Tyrone again, 396 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: you can get the same value out he probably more 397 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: value at nine, and I think coming into the side 398 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: is shown he can handle that role. So that's where 399 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: I go. 400 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 4: Do you think, yeah, yeah, I think Tyrone's got a 401 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: like a better defensive game than Persant and can defend 402 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 4: in the middle and the Ruster's packs pretty physical. 403 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: This competition has just fallen perfectly, and these last rounds 404 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: have just it's amazing when you talk about firstly, you 405 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: know who's going to finish in a first second or 406 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: that's that's locked in. It's just a matter of who's 407 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: going to get the Mind Premiership. But let's focus on 408 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: the top four and then later on the top eight. 409 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: Oh man, So I mean, she's a massive game come 410 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: up on Thursday night, the Dogs and the Panthers, and 411 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: there's important games like Storm Roosters and whatnot. 412 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: But who is your firstly, who's your top four? Who 413 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: do you see getting in there? 414 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 415 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 4: I think Raiders and Storm locked in. I think it's 416 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 4: hard to predict where they all finish because at the 417 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 4: end of the last round there's going to be teams 418 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 4: that can't move, and then those teams will rest, and 419 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 4: then they're going to be playing against teams that need 420 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: to win. 421 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: It's hard to move the jigsaw around. 422 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 4: But I think, for example, the Raiders in the Storm, 423 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 4: they'll win enough games so they'll probably potentially rest last 424 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: week so they won't move. But then the Dogs could 425 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 4: finish as low as fifth, and the Broncos could finish 426 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 4: as high as third, depending on how it all works. 427 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 4: But for the way that they're playing, I think the 428 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: Dogs finish third, and I think looking at the drawer, 429 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 4: I think the Sharks get in there. 430 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 3: I think the Sharks might. 431 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: Jump up into Haven't they been a sleeper? 432 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: They're just the Warriors will determine that because the Warriors 433 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: will play this weekend and they've got their Eels. 434 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 3: The Eels are playing. 435 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: Pretty well, and the Warriors play Manly in the last 436 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 4: game of the year, which Manly might have to win 437 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 4: that as well, So I think the Sharks might slip 438 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: in the fourth. 439 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: You got we've got dogs sitting there at the third. 440 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: They've got Panthers and Sharks. I reckon I Edgemo bestically, 441 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: I think they win one of those games, take them 442 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: to thirty eight. That locks them in in third. 443 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: The Wires have got Paramatta and Manly. 444 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: I see him winning. It's mainly a way to trigger game. 445 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: I see him winning of them. They thirty six, I 446 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: go thirty six. They get that spot. So that's that's 447 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: the top four. But what's as we start to go down. 448 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: What's what's interesting is if we talk about who gets 449 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: into eight eighth spot. So you've got the Roosters there 450 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: and they're plus seventy two one points differential, which is 451 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: going to be really really important. They got the storm 452 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: and then they got South's in the last round, which 453 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: could determine. 454 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 3: The Eels might have just cost the Roosters. 455 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that was a poor performance. The season 456 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 4: was right there for them to grab a hold of. Yeah, 457 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 4: they come off the Dogs performance, which was arguably their best, 458 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: and they turn in arguably their worst. 459 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 3: So now they have to win every game to solidify. 460 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: And the Roosters, they're acutely aware of what role they're 461 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: going to play in the Rooster's destiny. There's talk that 462 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: ker Murray will be back. That will play Latrell returning, 463 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: Cody Fitt, Johnston Johnson trying to break imagine with Alex 464 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: if he scores two, I would like to see. 465 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: And you'll imagine I would like this man. So and 466 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: this is interesting with the Dolphins. 467 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: So the Dolphins got slightly better points differential plus eighty one, 468 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: but they're two points drift mainly mainly a plus four. 469 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 3: I can't see. 470 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 4: No, I don't mainly need to rack up cricket scores against. 471 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: The Dragons Warriors, that's right, and the Titans. 472 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: You look at the Dolphins play the Titans. Right, Let's 473 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 4: say the Roosters win one. 474 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 3: Of those games. 475 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 4: Stormburm's sound given one win, right, that jumps to thirty 476 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 4: points the Dolphins. That means they need to be both teams. 477 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: They're playing the Titans and the Raiders. 478 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: And both both I mean Raiders obviously, but. 479 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: Raiders might be rested. 480 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 4: This is the thing, right, So they win against the Titans, 481 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 4: the Dolphins and the Raiders go, you know what, We've 482 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 4: got a minded premiership sew up. We're going to rest 483 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 4: a couple of our players. And the Dolphins go down 484 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 4: there and get the victory. 485 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Titans can slip into eighth. Titans is going to be tough, Titans. 486 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Titans are playing for a new coach. Yeah, there's still coaching, true, 487 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: but Hanna is in the stands down has cast and 488 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: I over all. 489 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: So then go all the way to the bottom of 490 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: the ladder. 491 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 4: The Titans playing for their new coach, the net Castle Knights. 492 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 4: They're two points ahead of the Titans. The Knights don't 493 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 4: pick up a game, They're just allowing the door to 494 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 4: be open for the Titans to win one of those 495 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 4: and go pass one points differentially. 496 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: So okay, so let's say the Dolphins beat the Titans 497 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: and we get and yeah, the Raiders are pretty much 498 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: going to be lean. 499 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: Locked into a top two position home final. Since round fifteen, the. 500 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: Raiders have had three buys. Do you still rest in 501 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: that last round of your Ricky? Do you still rest 502 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: players or do you think they need to coop playing? 503 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 3: I think they need to keep playing. 504 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 4: There's something about that youth that says, if you give 505 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: them the weekend. 506 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: Off, then they might just oh, that's cool, we'll just 507 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: bring week one right. 508 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 4: Ye, Ricky knows them better than me, But yeah, I 509 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 4: think they might. 510 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, they might be. 511 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: Playing Beam, he'll rest, He'll rest them. How important you see, 512 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: does Craige your submit within the mind Premiership? 513 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 3: I think he respects it. I think he would love 514 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 3: to do it. 515 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 4: But I just get this feeling about Melbourne, one having 516 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 4: been there and two just watching from the outside that 517 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 4: what happened to them last year on Grand Final Day 518 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: is just burning inside and that's the only thing that 519 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 4: truly matters. Like they just want to get back to 520 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 4: September and they want an opportunity for redemption, and I 521 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 4: think it's going to drive them all the way to it. 522 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: So Dolphins Rusters, who finishes eighth? I think I think 523 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: it's Roosters purely on the fact that the Dolphins make 524 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: just the amount of injuries, and like, if you think 525 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: at the moment the Manly game the other day, it 526 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: says a lot about where they're at at the moment 527 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: physically and probably mentally as well. To concede fifty eight 528 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: points given the importance of that game, says a lot. 529 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: Just Mitch Moses, where's he at as far as the 530 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: game's best players now, influencial players. 531 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: He's in the conversation, He's in. 532 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 4: I think Nathan and a few others are still there 533 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: in terms of best halfbacks. But when he puts it together, 534 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 4: he's a very influential player. I can give Jason Rowle's 535 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 4: a huge credit here. I think that's his greatest coaching performance. 536 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: Like he had that team dialed in and we spoke 537 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 4: to Mitchell after the game. He said, well, why would 538 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 4: we take the Russes on through the middle so they. 539 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 3: Move the ball to go through them. 540 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 541 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 4: And the way that Dylan Walker and Mitchell Moses combined, 542 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 4: they were playing a different speed, but they were moving 543 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 4: the ball left and right with freedom and scored thirty points. 544 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 4: But they scored thirty points six tries, semi linebreaks. 545 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 3: You're man. 546 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: Full, donut none none, that's how they scored tries from kicks, 547 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 4: an intercept. But their play was so good, like it 548 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 4: just moved the Bruce's defense around. 549 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: Very synchronized in their attack, Very very very good and 550 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: says a lot about Jason Ryles and Dylan Walker. Had 551 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: some terrific years, good years at the House, had some 552 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: great years at Manly, had some really solid years of 553 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: the Warriors. I think he's played his best football this year. 554 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: I think this is his best for end and Josh 555 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: Hadaka made the Fox. I think this is I said 556 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: this on the show last night. I think this is 557 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: his best season, say far, not based on scoring tries 558 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, but his leadership. 559 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 4: If there's any young young winger out there wanting to 560 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 4: know how to defend as a winger, go watch the 561 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 4: try that he took the intercept on James Tedesco. He 562 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: was under immense pressure and gave the indication he was 563 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 4: going to back off, and that made Tedesco throw the ball, 564 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 4: and he just plucked out. 565 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: Of the good good stuff like rollye coops, I'm gonna 566 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: get some breasts. 567 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 3: You look good. 568 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: Mm hmmmmmmm
