1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Cooper, I'm not going to ask you the question. Was 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: the right. 3 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 2: Decision from the Dragons to part ways with Shane Flanagan 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: Flanna's decision that say this is the best option because 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: without a doubt years the team were just deteriorating. 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Every single day. 7 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: There seems to be something new, whether someone wanting out 8 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: and the other one. The seven losses are and all 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: that noise is the primary, but I tear the other 10 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: one that might have just pushed him a bit, the 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: Jade and Seweer situation on the weekend. 12 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: Jaden like that was their best player, is their best player. 13 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: Decided to leave and then in a game that was 14 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 3: in the balance, it was reckless yep, Like, it's not 15 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: a choice but frustration, a sign of your best player 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: sort of plane on the edge and just wanted to 17 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 3: take some anger around on something. 18 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: And then you a vow who is an elite big 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: game player and something like twelve misses. That's when you go, okay, 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: the rot has set in. 21 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 3: And I think from from a Cajun perspective, if you 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: look at Shane when he had success at the Sharks, 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 3: he had this big, strong, aggressive forward pack and then 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: he had some you know, some call it risk verse 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: reward type flamboyant, Ben Barber, James Maloney in the decision 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: making positions, and the Dragons like the game is different, 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: Like big players with that lack of mobility are not 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: going to be effective for long periods of time in 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: today's game with the six against the spailing play and 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: the fatigue that kicks in. So I think, you know, 31 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: in terms of their defensive system, they've got some issues 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: with the athleticism of their forwards, and then in the 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: halves and the creativity, there's there's no one that's really 34 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: dynamic and risk verse reward that says, you know what, 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to do this, I'm going to come up 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: with this. There's some solid players, right, but no one 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: that's really going to turn the dial of like I'm 38 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: going to go after this game and dominate. 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: And it's the other thing too, decision from Flannet's point 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: of view health vice like we've seen I've seen watched 41 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Flanno this year and he's just looked more and more 42 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: strung out by the week, and so I think for 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: a number of reasons, this is the right decision. 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: The question is ker. 45 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: Who comes in next? If you're that next guy in line, 46 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: do you take the job? I mean, because let's have 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: a look. Since Wayne Bennett left the club, they've had 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: six coaches and fifteen years right now. A couple of 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: those have been short like Ryan Carr coming into an 50 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: interim did a good job. But it's been six people 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: in charge in fifteen years. That's a lot of instability. 52 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: And like the Warriors have had in you know the 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: history of the Warriors, this is one of the few 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: periods where they've had constant stability because they've had a 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: coach who's been embedded for a number of years compared 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: to just turning guys over all the time. 57 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: One back the clock, Jason Rolls almost had the job 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: right and he said no, and really knows why. I 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: think no, and Jason a little bit. He's probably unearthed 60 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: things or tried to do things that he wanted embedded 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: into the club and probably didn't get it and then 62 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 3: put pull the eject cord. So look, who is next? 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: Do you believe in boomerang coaches? Right now? 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: What I mean by that he's looking back looking back now, 65 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: tell you what Paul McGregor was doing a good job. 66 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: Must be sitting there going Jesus books like hey, I'm here. 67 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and like it's hard for us to sort of say, 68 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: you know, what's next, what top of coach they should have. 69 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: But sometimes just because you played for the club or 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: played the game full stop doesn't necessarily make you the 71 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: best person, right, Like I just have to look at 72 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: Andrew Websuit the Warriors, Cameron Surrounded. Yeah, he was a 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: solid player, but the Dogs went after that. So it's 74 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: a big job for you know, the decision makers to 75 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: look looked a little bit further than the. 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: So it's a very very hard job for a rookie 77 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: coach to come in and say control. 78 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: Yeah it is, and you probably have a little bit, 79 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: But I like the idea of finding out who that 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: next new young coach is. Sometimes we recycle coaches, like 81 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: for example, Shane Flannigan, Right, he was recycled with respect, 82 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: but his strategy or tactics didn't really evolve with the games. 83 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: And that's why I got so much respect for someone 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: like Wayne Bennett who's done it for generations. 85 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, just back on something you said before 86 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: they could you spoke about your Shane Flannagan. We had 87 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: that Cronulla side that did so well, if you're sitting 88 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: around and you had the like, let's say, for instance, 89 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: you know you're a coach, is sought after by two 90 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: or three clubs. At the start of this season, it 91 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: was pretty clear that there could have been two, three, 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: maybe four jobs grabs. 93 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Or every year. 94 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: One of the real good things, one of the things 95 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: that I would do if I was being sought after 96 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: my number of clubs, I'd sit there and go, Okay, 97 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: which of these sides that if I just didn't. 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: Turn up for a month, could look after himselves? 99 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: If that makes sense, Because when you think about that 100 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Croneli side, you've got blakesl Like, You've got Blakes like 101 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: Luke Lewis, You've got James Maloney, and so a lot 102 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: of hardened, experienced guys. I mean, look at Penrith, Like 103 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: if I Evan just said listen, I'm going to go 104 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: off to Ibotha for for me. 105 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: A sabbatical halfway through in summer, I don't. 106 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: Think they missed birth the things that he's put in place. 107 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: You've got Isaiah, you got Nathan, those guys. I think 108 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: the very best teams are things that are put in 109 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: place who have got players that can pick up the slack, and. 110 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: I think that's part of leadership. The leadership is to 111 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: teach those below you and mentor them and coach them 112 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: and then ultimately, when they're good enough to stand on 113 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: their own two feet, get out of the road and 114 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: let them shine. And some clubs don't have that at 115 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: the moment. Some clubs don't have that succession plan, which 116 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: is part of the issue that the Dragons are in 117 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: right now. 118 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Now. 119 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: We had a lot of things that talk about here 120 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: times of the essence, a lot of things we won't 121 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: get through it because you know, we've had big story 122 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: today it was Flanno, but a couple of games to 123 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: talk about Raiders Storm. 124 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Storm lost five in a row. 125 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Are they. 126 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: Do you still consider them in this competition an elite 127 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: team that. 128 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: Very the very top. 129 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: There's a question. I think they can still play finals. 130 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 3: I think maybe top fours out of it, but they 131 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: can play finals. The thing about the Melbourne Storm is 132 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: the more I think about it, I think they're the 133 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: Panthers two point zero from last year. Like I'm trying 134 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: to work out what's going wrong with them, and like 135 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: all the ingredients that make a good team, they tick 136 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: most of it. It's not as if they've forgotten how 137 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: to play. It's almost like they're stressed into trying to 138 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 3: be something more than their night and not focused on 139 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: the things at work. And there was signs of life 140 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: against Canberra. I'm telling like, take the scoreboard out of it, 141 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: the things that said, you know, they're not too far 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: away from a victory. And most people, probably including us 143 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: last year with Panthers, after eleven rounds, I at last 144 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: and thinking, okay, what is the answer here? Well, great, 145 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: good coach, good players. There's something there. 146 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: That I think Cooper's in two Grand finals in a row. 147 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: I think he's put a pretty heavy dent in their motivation, 148 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: maybe a bit of pressure on top, and a bit 149 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: of the hit their belief a little bit as well. 150 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: And I think the responsibility needs to fall on Hugh's 151 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: grant Monster because if we look at the left edge 152 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: defensively against Camber, the months have missed a couple of 153 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: tackles that led to tries, but he's got Cooper Clark 154 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: inside in wait on the outside. It's up to months 155 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: to fast track their development. Otherwise teams are just going 156 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: to go to that edge all the time, so they 157 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: need to get over the mental scarring of what's happened 158 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: the last two years. But there is good players and 159 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: a good coach and if they can fast track some 160 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: of the because the moment, teams are attacking their inexperience. Yep, 161 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: they're running to and putting under pressure those guys that 162 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: haven't got the one hundred and fifty games in light 163 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: the camera monthsters of the world. So I think it's 164 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: up to the sea of players to fast track that 165 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: development too. 166 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Spoke last week about that battle of that extra meter. 167 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: You know, when you've got the football, that extra meter 168 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: pushing through or being just pushed back to make at 169 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: the start of a set basically dictates what happens on 170 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: tackle four, five, six, And I just wanted to show 171 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: an example for this, and actually it's a storm tribe. 172 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: Before we talk about their shortcomings, this is an example 173 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: Will Warbrick and if you put in slow mo o 174 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: there what here you see where Hudson is in a 175 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: position to control the tackle on top coop And you've 176 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: been a part of this, but Will just ducks under 177 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: him there, just simply ducks under that left arm and 178 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: just takes an extra half or meter gets him which 179 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: means you can accelerate the play of the ball and 180 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: then what you see, what happens after it, just that 181 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: little subtle. 182 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: Thing makes all the difference to the next set. 183 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: McDonald makes good meters, gets up, then all of a sudden, 184 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 2: Harry gets out with triggers Hues, which in turn then 185 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: triggers monster. 186 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: You know, and the rest in the way they go. 187 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: So that all stemmed. 188 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: All of that stem from the fact that Hudson didn't 189 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: quite control the tackle. 190 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 3: So teams now when you think of sort of wrestling techniques, 191 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: think about defensively, but teams for years have been practicing 192 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: how to gain advantage with the ball in hand and 193 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: using wrestling techniques, right, So that little duck underneath to 194 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: find the front was definitely a technique that's being trained. 195 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: And to give the insight to your point, if the 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: first run is a five meter advantage, but it's a 197 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 3: quicker play the ball, the next run is eight meters 198 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: and the next one is twelve, and then you've got 199 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: the try off the back of the spot on. That's 200 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: what they're talking about. 201 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: And for you too, prevention, we're defending really great playmakers. 202 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 2: Prevention is better than the cure. So if well, if 203 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: we'll if you're playing half back in that game, and 204 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: I ConTroll will Wardbrick, then what that does slow play 205 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: the ball you just go no, no, take me another 206 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: one forward, whereas all of a sudden you see him 207 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: po through. 208 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we're dealing with you on the 209 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: next time. 210 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: All vice versa. That the play the ball speed looks slow, 211 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: there's a quicksh playball. I go from being out the 212 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: back of the middle forward to standing up in front 213 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 3: and also determining where the ball is going to go. 214 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 3: And I think one of the keys to while we're 215 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: on the play the ball speed of the storm, I 216 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: think one of the keys is getting Harry Grant out. 217 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: We saw that, right, So I think, what is it? 218 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: No Nelson, no Twoy at the moment, no car teller. 219 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 3: I think the play the bull speed is less and 220 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: less like there's sat the other night on Friday night 221 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 3: before they played. Every time Harry Grant runs more than 222 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: five times a game, he wins seventy percent of those games. 223 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: When he runs below he loses. Right, So I think 224 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: Josh King, Alec McDonald those type of fords instead of 225 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 3: being one out trying to generate because they're not Nelson, 226 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 3: they're not Twoy. I think they need to be a 227 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: bit more creative in their ballplayer. It'll short pass, isolate one, 228 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: one quick play the bable that gives Grant the first 229 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: look at something. Whereas I think at the moment they're 230 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: just a little bit small, more mobile, but they're not 231 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: actually generating that difference into play the wally. 232 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: I think the artist is a little bit too simplistic. 233 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: They just need to dress up a few little subtleies 234 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: in there too. As you said, they don't have that 235 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: size of the moment just to get them punched. Them 236 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: through a couple of always want to talk about coops, 237 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: which is. 238 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: Unlike Melbourne Melbourne. 239 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: One of the primary things about Melbourn's attacks, they're always 240 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: perfectly synchronized. Like when you call the play, all you 241 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: had to worry about we should target defender because you 242 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: know that players will be in the slots. The plagu's 243 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: sitting the right half of the whole right. 244 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: As you get there. 245 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 2: Billy on the perfect sweek line, not rushing you too much, 246 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: all those things. We'll see a few examples here and 247 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: one is pushing up and there's a break here, and 248 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: you have look at all the holes here, and I understand 249 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: it's a break, but Munster takes the ball coops. There 250 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: is no one with the urgency to follow that break, 251 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: and if there's someone in his pocket, he just rolls 252 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: through and score. Now this is this is a points split. 253 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 2: Someone pushes up, he goes straight into that hole. He's 254 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: under the post instead, Simmy Sosagi gets he in a set. 255 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: And this is some of the other ones where you 256 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 2: know Harry's jumping out. 257 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: There was one. 258 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: There was one in the first half too, Harry jumped like. 259 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: There's an example, like everyone is so deep on the ball, 260 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 2: standing on the back. 261 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: Like as soon as someone runs, the immediate response should 262 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: be to move forward like that the first one with 263 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: that line break. That is, don't worry about the play. 264 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: That is, I'm not a ball player anymore, I'm a 265 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: ball runner. As soon as there is a break in play, 266 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: it's accelerate into some hole and make sure that monster 267 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: picks up the right hole. He was drifting across because 268 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 3: he had no one to come, so he's trying to 269 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: buy time for someone and just throw the ball. And 270 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: that's where Sonia took it. 271 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: Ethan strange. 272 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: We said about him well wastually before we talk about that, 273 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: just defensively with Melbourne, there was one on the weekend 274 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: Jed Stuart School in the corner it was declared no try. 275 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: But on the other side of the corner you see 276 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: Melbourne there on an edge, just disconnected. You know, there 277 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: were guys sliding, there were guys that were coming up 278 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: out of the line. It's just it was unlike Melbourne. 279 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: It was one that happened a little later in the game. 280 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: There's an example too where they're just you know, they're 281 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: surrendering territory here and you'll see it just here. Now 282 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: I understand there's a bit of scrambling going on. A 283 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: guy's getting back, but still Melbourne are usually able to 284 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 2: get back and hold shape a little bit. 285 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: And you just have a look at out. Why you know, King, 286 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: he's not going up. 287 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: There's other guys sitting on their heels, others are rushing in, 288 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: everyone trying to solve the problem by themselves. 289 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: I think number one rule when you get a line 290 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: break against you is just get the lines straight. If 291 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: you're on the trial and you're in trouble, but you've 292 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: got to get a straight line. When white dirty come 293 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 3: up Josh King's defending where months is meant to be. 294 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: As soon as you get triangles in defense, you're in trouble. 295 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: You want straight lines in defense to solve any type 296 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: of play that's coming at you. There's a few things 297 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 3: they need to sort out. 298 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: Before we talk about the Penerith gaming yourself there and 299 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: Nathan Ethan Strange said about him last week we saw, 300 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: you know, they move on to the right started. 301 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,359 Speaker 1: It's been a little bit of controversy. 302 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 2: We showed last week the previous couple of performances where 303 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: he's getting used to the right. You know he's checking 304 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: off his right foot and going straight through. Last week 305 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: he did a left foot away and set one up. 306 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: It was evidence again this week. You know he was 307 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: on the right hand side of the paddock. He's coming 308 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: off his left foot and going and setting up tries. 309 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: Other times where he's trying to set play up. Here's 310 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: one now that's an area there, but you see the 311 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: awareness there. And this is another one here which I 312 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: really like in the fact that he switching to the 313 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: other side left foot in the move to the right 314 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: has been difficult for Ethan in the first month, but 315 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: I see what it's going to make him a far 316 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: more dangerous football. 317 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: Here's one here, little just cruise and using his left 318 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: foot a little bit. 319 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know. One of the things you 320 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: always tell sort of young halves is like where is 321 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: your best run? What position on the field do you 322 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: like to get the book and wherever that is? Try 323 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: and get to that position more often than not. And 324 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: obviously for Ethan it's sort of left hand side in 325 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: and around where the scrum is lined up, so why 326 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: not swing across to that side and use your left 327 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 3: foot at some stage. But he's adapting, he will get 328 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: He's way too good of a player, the fact that 329 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: he likes running the ball and set up all he's passing, 330 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: and that's the main thing he needs to worry about. 331 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: What do you think. 332 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 3: One thing I want to highlight here is I just 333 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: want to highlight the players of Nathan clear, particularly in 334 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: the first half. Like I like watching Nathan in the 335 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 3: first twenty minutes of a game because you almost see 336 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: the game plan he will he is like a surgeon. 337 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: He plays it to an absolute tea, playing short passes 338 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: through the wide field. Position of the Dolphins created space 339 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: and he was showing and going like just playing short 340 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: passes and everything back through the middle. So the simple 341 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: fact that they do a lot of video now that 342 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: he's playing back inside, he likes that he deals with 343 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: Ivan clear and says, you know what, first twenty minutes 344 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: a game, I'm going to work through this. And his 345 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: first half small touches were terrific. 346 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: They too, just watching him and Isaiah could tell it. 347 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: They just everything appears half speed. 348 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: And then this was the game tire and everyone thought 349 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 3: he was going to kick this. So just anyone at home, 350 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 3: any young half watching this is one of the best 351 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: of the game. Just missed an opportunity to win the game. 352 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: He'll get another opportunity. And the fact is he was 353 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: rattled there under pressure. He took the time to step 354 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 3: off his right side, create space and reset himself for 355 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: the kick. So anyone that misses a big opportunity, the 356 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 3: next opportunity might be just a minute away. You got 357 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 3: to drop it and focus on what he did. I 358 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: thought that was a terrific performance. I thought he was unreal. 359 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: I want to pay you already one. I want to 360 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: give the Dolphins an enormous rap here. Their last performance 361 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: against me was we'll get to the end of the 362 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: season and say that, yeah, that's in the grand find 363 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: one of the worst performances of the year. That was 364 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: so tough. The other night they conditions up there. I 365 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 2: was told that they were questioning whether the game should 366 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: go ahead. 367 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: It was so oppressive. 368 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: The heat you saw when the Penwrith players are being substituted, 369 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: they're going into. 370 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: A cool room. It was so hot. Yeat. 371 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: The Dolphins are eighteen nil down. Penwrith have had all 372 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: the ball, all the field position, and they get themselves 373 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: back and actually get themselves in front and nearly win 374 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: the football game. It was a mighty effort just on Penrith. 375 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: There an example of why they're so hard to score against. 376 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: Just having look where Cobo scores is trying the corner and. 377 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: It's not a big just a little thing here. Just 378 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: have a look at how many Penrith players like you 379 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: know what I mean, like the desperation to get over there. 380 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: No one of their hard to score points. 381 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: Again. 382 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: You can have a system, you can make a tacticle, 383 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: you can try and slide down, but at the end 384 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: of the day, the attitude of defense is just do 385 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 3: whatever it takes to stop them. Yeah, they scored, but 386 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 3: if that happens again, there's six seven Panthers jersey in 387 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 3: the picture. I'm pretty sure they might try and save 388 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 3: one one day. But to the Dolphins, I think you 389 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: got to give them a rap, you know, down by 390 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: a fair bit. At halftime they realized that Nathan was 391 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: playing through them with short passes. So Wolf in the 392 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: middle forwards obviously had a conversation and said, right, we 393 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 3: need to tighten up the middle. You know. Plath and 394 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 3: Gilbert were much better in the second half, playing for 395 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 3: long minutes and then the Dolphins attack shifted and put 396 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: them under pressure. That's the only way to beat Penrith, 397 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 3: because the Bulldogs did it the other week. You gotta 398 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 3: have powerful back rollers running it blazed to Lungey and 399 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: Nathan Cleary and then get to the fringes and use 400 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: your speed and footwork. So any team that's set up 401 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: where is a powerful edge back rower and then speed 402 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: and footwork on the edges is the way to beat Penrith. 403 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 3: Here the ball goes through good line, there by farm 404 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: Worth holds them up and the speed out the outside 405 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: of Cobo. There was one after this. I think it 406 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 3: was Avrillo. The opportunity for him to go and get 407 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: the ball to back rower and Finny Field archy running 408 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 3: through and then get the ball out to Avirello who's 409 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: got the speed. So I think the Dolphers did a 410 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: good job at resetting and getting that scoreboard back to time. 411 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: You just messed the Bulldogs there before, and yesterday the 412 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 2: Eels did to the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs did to Penrith, 413 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 2: And when you watch the Bulldog's game against Penrith, they 414 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: were so right up for it. 415 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: And there's always a counter to that. 416 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: There's always a slight price you pay from being that 417 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 2: emotionally high, and that is the following week and Penrith, 418 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Paramount had just done the exact same thing. 419 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: They just suffocated the Dogs with their own desire to win. 420 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: I had their own emotion with eighty six and all 421 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: the old players there and everything on that off the 422 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 3: back of losing to the Titans defensively, the middle tier 423 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: players did a really good job, really really good job. 424 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: Fantastic, great, great to see those young blakes grow a league. 425 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: On the day Adam Reynolds were talking about the young 426 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: Blakes were at the Old Bloke and he said, before 427 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: we said, like the benefit in this game where everything 428 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: is so fast and frenetic and helter skelter. To have 429 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 2: halfback like a cleary, like a car tower blood this 430 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 2: Blake Adam Reynolds, just go right, just set everything down, 431 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: let's get it in the position. It was the equivalent 432 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: I thought after the game the other night watching watching 433 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: the way like Tigers had some moments coops where you 434 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: stand up off the couch and you applaud, you just 435 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: go that is so good. 436 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: But it was like the tortoise and the hair. 437 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: They just absolutely bring it. The Tigers, me and Moles 438 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: now looked fantastic. Meanwhile, the Premiers just etched away, you 439 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: know what I mean, just worked away on. 440 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: I think you'll leave an admit to that. 441 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 3: It's you know the old saying. That's like if you 442 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: hadn't played, they wouldn't have won. Absolutely like it was 443 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 3: a captain's knock, inside passes, send up tries, good decision 444 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: making leadership that you know, some of the best players 445 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 3: weren't there. And if you have a look at his 446 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: field goal, game was tied and they went for a 447 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: grubber kick, got the ball back and there was a 448 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: bit of confusion whether it was six again or not. 449 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: He was literally stand in front of the post inside 450 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: ten minutes. And my number one really is when you're 451 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: inside tenants tied, go for the tribe. But if it 452 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: doesn't work, kick the field goal. If you're inside five minutes, 453 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 3: just take the shot. What he did was, oh, I 454 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: got no pressure, kicked the goal. Yeah, schoolboard pressure. Next minute, 455 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 3: the Tigers are throwing the ball here, trying to chase 456 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 3: that one point, whereas if he hadn't have taken that shot, 457 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: it might have gone to the golden point. The Tigers 458 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: might have come up with a play. You always put 459 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: school board pressure on because it forces the opposition to 460 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: start doing things they don't want to do. And they 461 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: It rattled the Tigers because from that moment on, errors 462 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: are trying to throw the ball around. It was professional 463 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: from Adam Realds. 464 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: He was asking the press conference basically, how did you 465 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: feelate there when everything was so chaotic, and his quote was, 466 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: oh I actually felt quite calm. 467 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: I think he says it all. 468 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: I want to give a rap to who we spoken about. 469 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: Lot's off an acl who's just getting himself back. Mitch 470 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: Barnett for the Warriors. He did something in this game. 471 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: It's just a little thing, Coop. It was not long 472 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: ago before in the first half and this is this 473 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 2: is a this is a title winning play. You have 474 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: a look at the ball on the ground here, all 475 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: Titans players will be all around it. Who comes up 476 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: with the ball? Isn't that a player to throw yourself 477 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: on a ball like that where there's a fair chance 478 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 2: there's going to be a boot floating around there. 479 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a big play. Melvin Inger used to 480 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 3: captain Drugs before an Origin game. He used to get 481 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: us out in the field to throw the ball around, 482 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 3: make us dive on it, because when the ball is 483 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: on the ground in Origin game, make sure there's a 484 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: marine jersey gets on it first. And that is a 485 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 3: very similar action. 486 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: Ala Mamhan was the first coach of the Newcastle Knight's, 487 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: a very hard task basket maker who used to say, 488 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: if there's a few things, we'll get kicked. 489 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: Out of this club. 490 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: But one of the primary ones was if there's a 491 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: ball on the ground and you don't dive on it 492 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: and kick it, you said you won't play first grade again. 493 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 3: And I think Webster's doing something good and I think 494 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: the key for the Warriors this year to play finals, 495 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: but maybe top four is they need to keep this 496 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: winning run at home. 497 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 2: Xact Day Dolphins in Wellington, so be an opportunity for 498 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: people Wellington to get behind the wires there. Keanu Kenney 499 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: was in the game. Last week we raved about how 500 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: Brandy was on his feet. Now this game showcased his 501 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: toughness for a little bloke. Pound for pound, you don't 502 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 2: get much tougher than Keano. And he took the ball 503 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: a couple of times and the Warriors just hit him 504 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: outside in like this one here where he is jammed 505 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: and you can see it's knocked him around. Made he 506 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: got up and took the ball on the following play 507 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: and then made just somebody's runs through the middle. There's 508 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: one not long after like this run that is it 509 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: is ridiculous. 510 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: Man, it is a boy. 511 00:23:54,520 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: But ye, you're right, it's way Eagan and Tanner boy. 512 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: And that. 513 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: If I was Keanu Kinning, I'd be going to the 514 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: owners of the Titans and going for an upgrade. 515 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: That's what well. Look, I think he's doing just fine, 516 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: just perfectly. 517 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: Hey, the Roosters just quickly against the nice yesterday. 518 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: Oh my god. The last couple of weeks and biparlor performances. 519 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: The first half horrible, second half terrific, hard to get engauged. 520 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 3: I think Teddy's doing a really good job. I think 521 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: Daily has been a very selfless player. Daily is doing 522 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: the right thing by the team, coming up with a 523 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: couple of moments when he feels like he can inject himself. 524 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: He's trying to bring Sam Walker into it. I feel 525 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 3: like Sam Walker is trying to still be the main 526 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: guy and come up with players. Like there was a 527 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: player on the weekend where he went down the left 528 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: hand side Angus Crichton was ready to go through, but 529 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: he didn't go through Crichton. It was clunky. He came back, 530 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 3: chipped and chased for himself and scored. That just summed 531 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: it up right, Like he just need to be on 532 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: the same page as Daily, Cherry Evans the rest of 533 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: the team because when he goes off, Script is a 534 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 3: brilliant little player. But when he can understand what else 535 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: is going on and bring other people in, I think 536 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: Daily is trying to work really hard to bring Sam 537 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 3: into the game. 538 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: Where you said that, Coops, I was watching it yesterday 539 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: and I was watching the game. 540 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: You could just see that for daily. It was what 541 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't doing. 542 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, he could see that Sam was on the bit 543 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 2: and you know, on a bit of roll in that 544 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: second half, and he just took a step back as 545 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: I'm about to do
