WEBVTT - NRL 360 - "We can't get him to work!" - New details swarm around Cobbo as young star wants to play fullback! Sloan given permission to leave Dragons | 24/06/25 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.920 Welcome to our three to sixty year abilly from every 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.160 angle joining me again the great good talent. Let's been 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.880 the jays in poor Crawley and Andrew Webster as the 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.520 Broncos taking on the Warriors. The Broncos have gone back 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.080 to back? Are they back? And the Warrior is the 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.720 sleeping Giants? Maybe in the NRL in season twenty twenty five, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.239 got it, But the Broncos Selwyn Cobbo, what's going on 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:20.640 with him? 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.680 Well, it's a fast moving story, isn't it. Obviously I 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.600 thought he was put back to Reserve Grade to find 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.760 some form and he was a little bit injured to 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.519 Now other clubs have come to the party and want 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.320 him to play, and I don't understand why they wouldn't 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.320 let him go and free up some money. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.160 The Boys, well the Cowboys have put in the pitch 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:41.560 to get him before June thirty. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.239 St George as well. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.280 The Cowboys wanted him before June three. Well, the Dragons 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:47.800 dip it. They didn't agree on the price and the 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.600 Broncos have knocked it back. What I can't understand is 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.120 if the club doesn't want to play him, he doesn't 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.040 have a contract for next year. He's got an opportunity 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.080 to go somewhere else. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:00.800 Hold him back? 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.240 Why hold makes sense? 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.120 Doesn't You can only think that the only sense it 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:09.800 makes is that don't want to give another team a 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:10.319 leg up. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:11.640 But you know. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.560 He's a quality player. I can sort of see some 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:16.800 of the logic in it. If you're going to make 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.680 a run at the finals, you want to you know, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.640 you want some back up there in the outside backs, 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.200 and he's a quality player Former Queensland Australian players. No, no, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:25.600 I get that. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:26.039 I get that. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.280 But it's also but if they're going to low ball him, 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.200 or if they only have three hundred left in their cap, 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.120 which is what it sounds like they do, let him 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:33.440 go down. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:34.840 They're a bit light on in the middle. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.440 They let a guy go for like in a social 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.880 media post and paid him out, So you would think 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.720 getting offered some money for a guy that's playing reserve 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.280 grade if it's the same sort of business sense where 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.399 you'd let him go, well. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.320 I think they can all agree so on Cobo as 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.880 the potential to be one of the best wingers backs 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.800 in the game. He's an absolute superstar or should be, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.600 and he's got the talent, you know, He reminds us 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.720 or me of a Latroal Mitchell kind of you know 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.920 GI obviously not at that level, but he has the 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.600 potential to be. But there's so much I've heard around him. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.880 Why hasn't it worked at Brisbane? Is it because of 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.359 the Broncos or is it because of Selwyn Cobba? 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.840 Both? I think both. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.600 I thought it was a really telling comment from Billy 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.000 Walters in the last few days saying that Seln has 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.040 to find his love of football again and if that's 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.959 the case, then that's on Selwyn. When I think about Selwyn, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.799 I think about the infamous podcast that he did and 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.639 he mentioned Kevin Walder and said he doesn't coach a team. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.520 I was one of the three people that went back 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.679 and listened to that entire podcast for an hour and 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.959 a half. Yeah, there wasn't that many who did. And 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.840 he made a really telling statement he said, I want 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.480 to play fullback. I want to play fullback. And I remember, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.320 you know, before Reese Walsh, when he was just emerging, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.280 we all thought, you know, it was a shootout between 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.560 him and Selwyn Cobbo, and Reese obviously got that jumper 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.160 and made it his own and he deserves to be there, Reese, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.320 but I'd love to see he's only twenty three. I 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.600 would love to see Selwyn Cobbo, as you said, he's 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.440 got g I sort of all over him. I'd love 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.360 to see Soe and Cobbo find his love with the 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.040 game again and go and play fullback somewhere. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.919 Dragons well, they have got Gutho, and Gotho might might 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.480 potentially long term move into the Hearts. Who knows, like 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.720 he could play center anywhere he wanted. The thing about 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.840 Sewin and going back to Billy's quote though, and he 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.840 has to go and find his love of football. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.160 When when Mage. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.519 McGuire, with his reputation as a hard ass, signed with 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.240 the Broncos. Of all the players you thought may struggle 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.520 under Madge, Selwyn would have been at the top of 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.800 my list. And for Billy to say that today, it's 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.160 kind of like, mate, if he hasn't got his love there, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.120 go let him enjoy it somewhere else. Like is it 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.760 that big a burden for Brisbane not to release him? 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:56.000 Really, because all I've heard out of Brisbane is that 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.920 you know, he's got a few issues. He gets home sick, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.360 he doesn't love the game, him. You know, some games 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.119 he just doesn't want to play for reasons that other 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.960 players would wouldn't make up. So there is certainly I 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.760 think there has to be said there's an issue there 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.480 with Selwyn because Brisbane you can say, well, he hasn't 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.680 been coach right or handled right, and I'm sure Brisbane 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.200 is saying, well, you know what, we've tried hard with 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.960 this kid and we just can't get him to work. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.359 Question in the world break. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.760 But that's not the point. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.200 Is that if they've realized that, which is the reason 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.880 why they're offering him three hundred and something thousand half 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.960 his paypacket for next year, they've realized that, and if 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.440 there is an opportunity to go else where, why hold 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.360 him back, Like a couple of weeks ago they wore 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:42.000 those black jerseys for mental health, and do you just 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.120 wear the jerseys or do you live it? 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:44.360 Is it? 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.400 If there's an opportunity where he thinks he can go 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.599 and have a better career and maybe pick himself up, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:52.080 let him do. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.600 It's a great point you make. I love to hear 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.520 from Brisbane why they didn't let him go, because you 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.920 make some valid points, some really good points there as 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.839 to if you're not going to keep him, you offering 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.160 you're low balling him anyway. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:03.800 He can't do like they offered him. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.320 He's a state of ogon player with the well, which 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:07.880 means that's a bit of a kick in the bar. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:13.080 So and there's you're right, Gordon, there's no question of world. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.599 He's got to take some ownership here, absolutely, But if 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.200 it's not working for him, and they've obviously decided he's 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:20.640 not going to be there, even though they say they 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.760 want to keep him on half the wage, it ain't 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:24.479 going to work out. 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.120 You know, there's some guys you've got to manage, right. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.080 I always say that Stephen and Uf wouldn't have had 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.640 the same career if he played under Bryan Smith. I 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.560 did right, And there's certain ways to manage certain players. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.400 And I remember we were walking off trainer one day 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.000 and I said to Wayne Bennett, why doesn't he have 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.200 to do it? Wayne goes, when you do what he 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.640 can do, you do what he does. And it was 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.800 a great lesson for me. They worry about my job 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.960 and not worry about what everybody gets. And that's what 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.560 Wayne does at Souse with Latrelle and all those guys. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.040 They're all individuals, they're not one, but they come together 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.240 on Sunday. And then he'd have was saying, just as 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.960 long as you bring your boots. I think he's one 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.640 of those guys. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.279 Sell on combos. So imagine Maguire signed on his head coach. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.680 I thought, well, they're far from the perfect match in 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.239 terms of Cobbo and Magui, the way that he plays, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.799 the way that he trains, and the way that Madge coaches, 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.240 and already less than a year looks like the relationship 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.640 is over. Now. We spoke last night about some of 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.120 the Broncos looking busted. You and Buzz said that pain 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.080 Hass probably should be rested. Reese Walsh even carrying that 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.039 knee injury. What do we think of this? 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.760 I agree everything Gordon said. 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.120 I think that if the Broncos want the best out 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.800 of pain Hess at the end of the season, they're 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.200 going to have to give him a break on the weekend. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.479 Was it his back, was it his groin? Was it 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.880 his hamstring? They sort of switched between this and that, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.279 and no one really said. What you know about pain 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.040 Hearss is that every time he runs on the field, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.000 he's got such a big motor and he's got such 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.120 a commitment to do his absolute best he will run 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.240 himself into the ground if you allow him. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:52.560 To do it. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.719 And Madge, when this came up last night, the first 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.920 image that came to my head was Greg English into 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.640 he seventeen when he was playing at South Sydney and 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.800 Madge was the coach and he did his knee in 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.040 the first half and he played on in the second half. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.040 It was against the Tigers, and towards the end of 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.360 that game even the Tigers players felt sorry for Gui, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.760 where they basically they didn't want to go in and 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.080 tackle him anymore and he was left out in the field. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.120 Sam Burgers had issues there. He's got to take that 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:21.840 into consider. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.440 Ra be resting players of the mayment. Now Reese is different. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.880 Reese's got the mcl injury with PC which he's going 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.840 to have for the rest of the year. And even 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.520 Billy Slater said he had the same injury. He's not 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.080 going to go away. He's got to play it. He's 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.960 going to play it. You know, it's as simple as that. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.160 Peyton Ha's a little bit different. What if Madge has 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.200 spoken of paint and pains like whole want to play 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.440 you got to play, but you've got to. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.240 Save him from themselves because Shane Webke wanted to play 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.600 and like I played with guys like Petro and they 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.680 just feel like they don't want to let the players down. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.160 And talking to paint House after the game on the weekend, 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.280 he said, I love this Jersey, I love this club 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.560 and I don't want to let the boys down. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.560 But he's going to let them down at. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.560 Some stage because of how much petrol he's got on 0:07:59.640 --> 0:07:59.960 his team. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.080 He's not a rav right now under a huge pressure. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.920 Copy it from the media. They Comet got back on 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.320 track yet, But do you rest pain then you. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.320 Do well, you've got to rely on your squad. Penrith 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.720 did it right. So Penrith are in a worse position 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.000 than Brisbane. Can they rely on the squad right now though? 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:16.520 Well? 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:17.880 Question? 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.680 But in the end of it is as Gordon said, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.480 do you use him up now and leave nothing in 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.800 the tank for later. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.160 In the year or do you give him a rest? 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.200 Because I'll tell you one thing is. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.680 Quite certain, he won't go out in Origin three and 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:32.880 leave anything in the text. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.240 The guys that they're going to rely on now, they're 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:36.520 going to have to rely on at the end of 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.959 the year when the chips are bigger and they're all in. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.280 The side of Reese Walsh in the warm up doing 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.920 his knee and then playing on there. I really want 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.520 to say this, Like Ree Welsh gets bashed up a 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.640 lot in the press. I thought the way that he 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.520 managed to stay on the field and continue to play 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.160 on and then finish that game as he did Awkland 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.199 and had an absolute blinder Like I sometimes I don't 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.800 think we give these blokes enough credit, like for the 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.880 to be able to do that and play the standard 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:03.640 football that he did. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.000 We're just watching it there. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.000 And just to see the way that he limped around, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.480 Like I mean, they're tough bloks to. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.160 Be able to do that. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.160 I would think that Pain to me seems like the 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.440 mature sort of football. I know what you mean about 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.160 players wanted to go through. He seems like mature enough 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.120 as a footballer to make the decision himself. That's that's 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.280 how Pain seems to me. He seems like a pretty 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:25.160 smart cookie, all right. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.640 Billy Waters has addressed the unfolding Cobo situation and his 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.400 own future under Michael maguire at red Hill. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.400 There was never really a culture issue. I don't think. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.760 It's just there's always teething periods, I guess with a 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.959 new coach and he's a bit different the way keV 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.000 did things. So that's not good or bad. That's just 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.200 the way it is with coaches. And we're just happy 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.800 that we've got back to back wins and can build 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.520 off the back of that advice. Can you to sell them, yeah, 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.839 I suppose just to be patient and find the love 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.920 for foot again where he to support seally and whatever 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.640 he needs to do, and we love having about the club. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.640 We love having him in our team. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.719 Blake Bos has just been resigned obviously now we've run 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:58.920 over the next year as well. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:00.839 There's a lot of competition. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.040 There is there, Yeah, there is, but it brings out 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.240 your best footy. I feel I haven't had as many 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.600 minutes as what I've had the last couple of years. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.000 But I'm just happy I'm stilling the team at the 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.040 moment and off the back of two wins, two really 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.480 good wins. It's just a good feeling around the place. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.560 So just happy to be involved. There is Billy Waters 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.559 talking about sell and Cobble, hoping that he stays patient 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.480 and gets another shot and can find the love of 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.120 his footy again, which I think speaks volumes to the 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.720 situation and where selling is out at the moment. He 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.960 also mentioned there that he'd like to play more minutes 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.520 and hasn't played as many as he has in previous years. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.320 And Billy just to give him a rap when he 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.679 come on the weekend, he changed the game. Like when 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.920 he came on, they were behind, it was just after halftime. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:43.880 I think it was halfter the ten minutes in the 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.240 bin where they failed to score a try. I think 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.080 Cronulla scored. He came on and they went on to 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.800 win the game. So he's definitely having an impact there. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:53.120 Gordy. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.360 Yeah, well, with such big personalities and pain and carrying 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.000 him wanting the ball so much up up the middle, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.200 I think he gets it to the right places at 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.679 the right time. Billy, and they did look a little 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.600 bit sharper and Adam's the dominant playmaker there, but he 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.760 was given Respulse's chance and that he looked better with Billy. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.000 And does he get pushed out Billy? 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.160 Uh, Well, I hope not, but it's probably looking that way. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.000 And the Cowboys have released their hooker. He's going to 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.400 the roosters next year, so there's spots for Billy and 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.559 I think he's got a bit more to offer this competition. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.560 Do you think you better this time next year? 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.800 You wouldn't think so after they signed that hooker, but 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.679 I hope so By. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.040 I'd yeah, I like it. He's a great player. Can 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.600 I just say this about me? We're bashing out magic 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.960 Cops are fair bit of criticism. They're fifth for club. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.760 It'son supposedly been in crisis a few weeks ago and 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.600 we're questioning his methodology and that's fair enough. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.080 But they're fifth, said, you know, we've got to give 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.520 him credit. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:49.400 They're not they're not. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.720 They can be streaky, but I think apart from Canberra 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.480 and Canbury, tell me what team isn't in his competition. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.560 Jury is still out, but they've improved a lot. They've 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.480 won to in a row and everyone was bashing them 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.240 before that, so you know there's still a lot of 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.000 positive signs there for the Broncos. I agree with you, Rebby. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.000 Yeah, well things changed when Reecee Walsh came back. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:09.960 That's when it changed. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.079 And prior to that, Whereby you say they were getting 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.120 bashed up deservedly, So sure, that their form was awful. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.480 Some of the football they were playing was terrible. There 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.000 was so much coming out of that club that it's 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.760 not an issue you could ignore. And then they beat 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.960 the Titans. They started pretty ordinary against the Shark, but 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.560 the second half was super impressive. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.920 All right, there's some massive ins and outs around seventeen 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.480 thanks to sports, but let's take a look real pivotal 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.760 ones and the big one. To start off with Nathan 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.920 Cleary named at halfback for the Panthers. There was a 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.400 question mark over that after his origin game two. Galvin 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.760 has been selected for the Bulldogs. He is on the bench. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.800 Will they use him like they did last time or not? 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.960 Feynu to half back low wide of five eight for 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.080 the Tigers. Flenny and king Tony are remaining the hards 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.040 for the Dragons. Walker and Graham back from injury for 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.280 the Bunny He's good one for them and Ford. Interestingly, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.079 he has been recalled at five eight four the Cowboys. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.320 Let's start with Nathan Cleary. It's a huge game up 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:13.199 against the Dogs. I think both these teams have got 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.120 a bit to prove here. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.120 Can I just say this what a phizzer on on 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.160 Nathan Cleary is he going to be in ro out 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:24.600 of origin. He's backed up already. So all that talk 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:29.600 about who's going to suppose we'll see in a big 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.760 game like this on on Thursday night. I know one thing. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.160 It's he's good enough to play in the didn't suit. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.680 That's like, that's one thing that I made. You just 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.000 hope that he doesn't redo it. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.600 Well, he was clearly hampered Orange and he wasn't kicking. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.720 He early kicks would going to Lui. He didn't do 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.600 the goal kicking. You know there was an injury there. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.360 They rested him last week that you know more about 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.480 this break with managing the load of his kicking, how 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.080 he visualizes his kicks now and doesn't do as much, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.640 And it's they need him on the field. Like a 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.880 month ago, they're sitting last on the ladder. Now they're rape. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.240 They go over there without their origin players and beat 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.360 the Warriors. This is a mess. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.400 If Tea thought the biggest turning point for them this 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.560 year would be with all their origin players out playing 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.640 a top four team over in New Zealand, Like that's 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.840 that could they could really turn their season around. No, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.400 it probably already has, but this could be the momentum 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.960 they needed, They get the Origin players back and it 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.280 proves to be a big game to take on the 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.080 bulldog was Now Galvin has been named at seventeen. How 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.720 do they playing? Do they playing like they did last time? 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.640 Or I'll ask you how do they play well? 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.480 I mean it worked last time. I can't imagine them 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.480 playing him any differently unless there's injuries or you know 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.640 they sex and struggles badly or Burton in that case. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.080 But I would assume that because they work so well 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.920 the first time with that dynamic, they would stick to that. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.720 How long? How long do they keep on doing this? 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.480 For holding the kid back? 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.560 Sexton was so good, wasn't he like when he partnered 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.960 up with him last time? And the week after he 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.000 was a paramatta that they'd played, and then the following 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.120 week he had his best first half of football since 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.200 being there. But Galvin has also looked so good, So 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.400 at some stage it's got to go one way, and 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.560 you would think the long term answer is going to 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.960 be Galvin at seven sec and to his credit, he's 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.160 creating a fight for it. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.720 What about reed MANI he wasn't too happy a few 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:35.200 weeks ago. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.600 Well, it's the same as how do they play it 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.080 this time? Like if Galvin comes on, does Sexton move 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.600 to dummy half and does Reese go back to the 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.520 dressing room to kick some more cancer. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.680 I don't know. How does he handle it? 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:49.960 Well? 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.760 Read only looks a lot happier I think than he 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.280 was in that game, but probably after that game. But 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.480 I think, to be honest, I think the way you know, 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.840 I've said this elsewhere. You know, Gus always talks about 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.160 Penrith's success wasn't so much the culture of the club, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.240 but the chemistry within the team. You know, that's been 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.320 the success of Penrith in many ways. And I think 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.640 the way that both I know, I think it says 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.160 a lot about Read's competitiveness, the way that he reacted 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.720 after that that game against Paramatta, but the way that 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.240 Toby has sort of embraced it and like it. If 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.400 you don't have that then it could have been really toxic. 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.840 But the way it's shaped, it looks like it's you know, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:28.920 it's gonna work from well. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.000 It says a lot about the club where they're in 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.680 their culture. Now I forget about Cleary and Serrouto. It's 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:39.000 about Cleary v. Gus Cleary v Gus for sure, for sure. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.640 Well you know I helped Ivan with his book. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:42.280 That's out of the moment. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.600 Feel free to go and buy ten thousand cops one 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.240 and that's right, yeah, good, good for not everything counts, 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.560 but everything matters. But it's a leadership book. But in 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.880 that book, Ivant explains how he says it straight out. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.200 He goes, Gus hurt me, you know the way that 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.880 the way that the Gus sacked him the first time 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.960 in two thousand and fifty, and it was they were 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.000 never the same after that. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:03.840 He was gusting in many ways. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.200 I reckon the fact that Canterbury have built so much 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:15.520 of their rebuild around Canterbury around Penrith, players around Penrith, coaching, 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.480
