WEBVTT - Round 13 and Origin 1 Takeaways 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:01.760 Coeps. 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:03.840 Everyone's had the same as state of origin. We will 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.760 hear looking at the game, we always look at little things, 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.680 which is symbolic of the game itself. I reckon the 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.760 first set from New South Wales is probably symbolic coming 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.160 out of trouble and one of the back three, Zach 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.800 Lomacs bit of footwork punches through and they just marched 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.560 down the field. That was almost the tail of the tape. 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.200 Yeah. I totally agree. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.960 When you play at Sunkle, particularly game one, the Queensland 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.840 Jersey almost needs to bring the crowd into the contest, 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.920 and the way you do that is through line speed. 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.400 In your first three tackles, Lomax stops that crowd slightly 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.600 by running over and through Harry Grant. 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.680 And then this carry here was a thing that changes. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.440 I think finds Cherry Evans gets through his front and 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.479 there's just a sense now that Queen's there on the 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.680 back foot. Is only thirty seconds in the game. Yeah, 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.560 and I think the intensity of the crowd having friends 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.840 there sort of said it just sort of got sapped out. 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.960 So the start that New South Wales provided through this 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.800 set showed the direction they were going to go, And 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.160 I thought one thing the Queen that lacked was the 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:02.880 leg speed and line speed defensively. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.640 Yeah, yeah, you just see that there. You know, it's amazing. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.520 You know we always talked about game of inters and 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.240 that yardish is exactly that. You know they're coming together. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.080 Does New South Wales just push push that extra half 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.960 meter or to Coeensland when and you see that at 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.000 the back into that set what momentum does and a 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.240 team then has to defend on their heels and depending 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.920 on your heels, invariably you start making legs, tackles and 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.560 things like that, and it just just multiplied. When we 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.560 said last week, you know, in those really tight games 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.520 and you know this coop as you know Bloke who 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.640 was in charge of the attacking kicks and all the 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.120 sides you played in, is that when a team is 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.080 regularly in position for an attacking kick consistently near the 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.920 team that's in control. And I think in the first 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.800 ten minutes, I think Nathan had three attacking kicks. So 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.920 it just showed you the dominance and yard each. 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.920 And the other thing that will also pop the balloon 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.560 a little bit for Queens and was I think Carrigan 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.320 and Tino gave away a penalty like a little bit 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.400 of high contact or just something that was look you 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.680 could say to a gig could get away with it 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.880 in Origin, but it just allowed New South Wales to 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:03.280 get out. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.520 Because when you want the. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.120 Crowd on your side, when you want to bring that 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.280 intensity aggression, the yardage line speed defensively is where you 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.160 get it. And I thought New South Wales set the 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.840 game up through to all. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.840 Lomax and paint ass. Yeah, Lomas pain ass. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.120 Then Nathan and Mitch Moses kick the ball where they 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:23.720 wanted toez. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.480 Nathan's running game was good and that's crucial. That's crucial 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.000 to Nathan because you know, for people to understand this, 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.560 if you're if you're a playmaker, if you can start 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.639 the game really attacking the line with your running game, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.240 then suddenly you've got they've got to be all they 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.640 have to account for you and your run threat makes 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:42.640 you a better ballplayer. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.960 I like that one from dummy half. You don't often 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.080 see a half back from a kick return run from 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.760 dummy half. It just shows that his mindset is I'm 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.360 taking this game one and on the other side like 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.080 this is really setting up his ball playing for later 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.560 on the game. He did a good job for Stephen 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.960 Crichton at one stage is they're setting up a try 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.120 for Lomax. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:07.040 And that one that's the reward for the running in 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.560 the fact that he feigns like I'm going to run 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.600 and they squeeze. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.120 And Cherry Evans comes out of line, doesn't stop Moses, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.919 and that ends up being the difference for Toler to 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:17.440 put that down. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.720 I haven't seen him do it as much this year, Nathan, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.200 but Coops. One of the things I love with Nathan 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280 is sometimes you'll get the ball and he'll actually pretend 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.200 to be lost. You know, he'll get there, he'll go 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.800 to the line, he'll slow and it's just all the 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.600 conw and then you get back into two hands and. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.800 Yeah, he used to do that sort of sometimes if 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.760 you're having a center on the outball, like you stop 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.680 as if the defense will stop, and then you catch 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.280 them out with the slick pass. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.560 Coops talking about Queensland and little moments, the moment that 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.440 I thought, now the game's lost for Queensland. It was 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.920 fourteen six New South Wales Queensland. About twenty minutes ago. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.760 They're on the attack. It was a really poor set 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.800 of six and I thought that this that set was 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.400 probably symbolic of Queensland. And then months he rushed to 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.360 kick off his left foot at Lomax. I think he 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.360 diffuses it and all of a sudden New South Wales 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.960 has got the penalty and at that point you really 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.320 see that the air went out of the stadium. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.440 And when people put their hands up in the airlight, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.200 they don't know what's going on. That comes down to 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.839 communication and that comes down to Munster and Cherry evens 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.839 that kick there was a threatening kick, but Lomax was 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.160 just on and they didn't have any continuity in the 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.400 way they went. There was another set where they just 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.160 scored after Xavier Coats and they ran the ball. If 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.040 that scrum and Valentine Holmes got taken home to touch. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.240 I thought that was another turning point, like you don't 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.200 get many opportunities in Origin and when you take it, 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.120 you got to score points. And that ended up being 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.120 a different big time. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.479 Coops the Queensland. There was a period in the first 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.080 half we I thought queens looked really good going to 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.080 the right, going to the right, and they were attacking 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.720 the combination of Latrell and they were disconnected. You can 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.799 see they were trying to work out their formula together 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.880 and they were having a lot of success down that side, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.920 and then the second half coup the ball went completely 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.400 the other way. I know Billy has a real thing 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.200 with Lomax. He oftentimes attacks down Lomax's side, but it 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.880 was strange. You're given the success you had in their 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.240 first seas. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.200 This is the run from chair Evans I was referencing 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.480 just before. That was a threatning run. But I think 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:21.279 that's not necessarily going away from the right hand side. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.400 I think that's when the game's on the line. Months 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.839 is the dominant voice right Monster would be saying, I 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.400 want the ball, I want the ball on the ball. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.280 He's just multiple touches because he feels like he could 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.240 do something. But if you analyze that game and you 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.400 just saw a run from Nana on the inside shoulder 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.719 of Latrell, Latrell got beaten on the outside. We're a 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.960 pass from Cherry Evans. If Cherry Evans needs to stand up, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.600 if he's picked. But you're going to make Latrell make 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.600 multiple decisions in a set, not just one. He'll make 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.279 the right decision, but you need to make him make 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.080 multiple decisions. I think that's an opportunity for Queensland and 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.679 game too. Just find that disconnect slightly. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.080 We'll talk about the selections for game for game to 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.360 and Perth and a second. But one of the big 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.479 talking points in the game coop, and this is not 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.520 me trying to be a smart ast anywhere, shape or form, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.000 but where do you stand on the spencer l and 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.360 you kickoff? Which there has been a lot said about it. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.320 It's chicken on the egg right, look at it. It's 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:16.960 a great vision. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.719 Like I love the fact that New South Wales forward 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.000 goes to sun Corp and just wants to roll up 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:23.479 the crowd. 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:24.640 Look. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.160 Sometimes origin is a lot of little things that ends 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.600 up being the result. And one of those little things 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.960 is let's say Spencer, they kicked a spencer off the kickoff. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.960 Let's say Spencer comes back and skittles three Queensland defenders. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.479 Who's won that battle? 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.279 Of course, right on the flip side. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.920 If Queensland go and pick him up and throw him 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.560 six foot under the ground, that's where it sits. And 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.760 Billy has sort of said that it was because Valentine 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.640 Holmes was kicking off. Didn't want to be sure, but 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.720 it's almost like if you're going to take him on, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.920 cut the snake's heads off and go off from type 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.160 of things. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.240 So it was a victory. It's a victory for Spencer. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.480 End up being a little one. But ye if I 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.000 was giving Billy advice, I'd be backing in Patrick Carrigan 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.040 GINO line him up on him and kicked him first. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.280 TIF Sometimes it sounds stupid, but sometimes the smart things 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.160 not the right thing. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:14.960 Yep, that's true. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:16.640 Performances. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.160 But in saying that, would you rather tackle Max Keing 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.120 or Spencer nu. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:29.560 Max Kean? I know, w good points, good point performances. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.920 What's yours to New South Wales? 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.240 Special mention to Mitch Barnett and Lea Martin. I thought 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.480 those two blokes not having given as much credit as 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.880 they deserve. But one point Isaiah. I thought it was 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.080 one of his best ever State of Origin games. And 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.040 he's just an intelligent player to get out there and 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.440 realize that he didn't need to be pushing the ball 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.280 around the park. He got Nathan and you've got Mitchell 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.000 doing that. I thought he was tremendous. Two points to 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.480 Zach Lomax. Coop in the last ten to fifteen years 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.000 have you seen a player in prove as much in 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.400 twelve months as zak Lomax. I can't. I was sitting 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.480 there this morning. I can't think of anyone to. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.560 Put a Queensland analogy to it. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.320 It's almost like when Dane gag I first represent Queensland, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.800 when Valentine Holmes first represented Queensland. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.160 There's just an. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.840 Dramatic improvement in players when they either sink or swim 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.880 at origin level, and sometimes when they catch fire, their 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.560 confidence just takes them to another level. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.440 Zach was outstanding. He was simply outstanding. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.600 Three points. Of course pain has but also special mess. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.880 I forgot Reece Robson. Reece Robson. It's the most dangerous 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.240 I've seen him getting out of dummy half. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.520 Don't often win the game in the first twenty minutes 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.120 of origin, but geez, you can set it up and 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:49.439 pain Hass through effort, intensity, care factor and all those carries. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.319 Like if you were to get quite analytical right now, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.480 pain Haass gets tackled two or three off the kickoff 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.400 and he goes right foot across and he finds a 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.400 soft defender in Cherry Evans. Number one is get up 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.040 in front and don't let him skip. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.040 Across your three two ones. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.880 I can't go too far off what you said. I 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.000 thought paying Hars and Lomax were this close from being 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.560 best player on the field. I'm going to give Clary 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.600 a big rap. I thought he was gone. He controlled 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.920 that game, and I love the fact he set up 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.360 that try for Lomax. Stephen Crichton carry the ball the 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.520 set before and ran over the top of Hamisot Tabio fido, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.880 and then the next set they get back, he goes 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.880 to the same field position, sets up a play, but 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.599 this time Crichton's running the lead runner inside shoulder on 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.319 Hammer and he throws a little double pump and Hammer 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.719 just bites because he's thinks thinking that Krchton's going to 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.319 run out of the top of him, plays out the 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:40.760 back Edward sets up limacks. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.320 I thought that was very intelligent. 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.720 There's been a bit of criticism about the game people. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.160 I think some of it's been the top third. People say, oh, 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.319 it's the worst storaging out they've ever seen. No I 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.240 take exception at that. I reckon Game two could be 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.120 one of the great origins as in New southp I 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.560 have no doubt whatsoever Game two monster be nine out 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.040 of ten, Harry Green will be nine out of ten, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.880 Dally Cherry Evans and I reckon, I reckon. Billy will 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.199 pick him because, in my opinion, you always give a 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.400 champion an opportunity to redeem himself. I think this will 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.319 be one of the great games. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.960 Yeah, I agree. I think they're not going to miss 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.960 the start this time around. And for what it's worth, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.559 there's a lot of talk like Queensland could win Game 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.000 two with Cherry Evans at halfback and they could win 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.600 it with Tom Dinton. They're both good players and it's 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.719 about what they got wrong in the first game to 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.480 win Game two. 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.880 But if I'm Billy, I'm having. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.800 A face to face coffee with Daily and I'm asking 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.000 him how do you feel about Game two? 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.920 I'm saying, what does this mean to you? Can you 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.640 deliver for your state this one? 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.839 If I'm Billy and I walk away thinking he's my 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.040 captain halfback, I'm picking him if I feel like he's 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.280 probably not there and hesitant, just a gut feel probably 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.640 going Tom didn't. But there's only one person makes his 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.920 decision and that's Billy, and I would be backing in 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.680 hanging up the queens and Jersey in front of Daily 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.120 one more time and saying have you got it? 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.280 And I think the answer is yes. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.360 Well I think I think I don't think Billy had 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.959 to ask the question, or he doesn't have to ask you. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.959 I think the response from Dali against the Broncos the 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.320 other I think it says. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.160 He was great about the Broncos. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.559 Yeah, tell me, I don't know. I don't know. I 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.959 you know. I saw them down at Manly on the 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.760 Friday and they're really they're chipper, They're up and about 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.080 and I thought, okay, you know, and I certainly didn't 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.400 expect what happened the following night. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.920 Well, if you were to put your coaches hat on, 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.959 what what what do you think is holding back to 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.040 Broncos Because we have seen the best of the Broncos 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.240 and we've seen the worst and they're not that bad 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.160 with that talent they've got that. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.959 They can't be where they are at the moment. So 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.000 if you were coaching, what would you do? What do 0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.880 you think the fix is? 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.600 Well, Cooper, I'll state the obvious. Where they're at at 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.560 the moment. I think a lot of its attitude right, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.520 and the temptation is sometimes you sit there and go 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.320 what are the things we're going to do? And oftentimes 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.520 you always we look at what we're doing with the football. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.960 If I'm mad je I'm probably sitting there this week 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.160 and pull them a senior players in and say, rah, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.240 how do we win one nill? 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:21.680 Yeah? 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.160 You know what I mean. I'm thinking, how do we 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.880 win one nil? How about we do less with the football? 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:28.920 How about we just get into the grind and we 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.000 just majure on kickchase and you know. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.720 Because I think what they're trying to do is trying 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.240 to bring in all their weapons and have this great 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.080 play that blows teams out of the water. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.680 Yeah, and they're just trying to work for that every time. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.000 If they get their mindset right defensively, like if I 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:49.959 do all the hard things that it takes in a 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.920 game of football and we all have that mindset, they 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.440 will win games football. But at the moment, it feels 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.959 like you just do that, get me there and then 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.400 I'm going to set up this big play We're going 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.559 to score on the cor coops. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.320 I reckon when you go into a game, right, there's 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.559 there's two skills of thought. If we go into a game, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.280 we say what we're going to do coops. We're going 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.880 to try to win this game fifty No, we're going 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.880 to blame the part. And then alternately you look at 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.199 and say, right A, coops is what going to do. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.160 We're going to dig in and if we're to win 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.120 this game by one nil, we're going to win one nil. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.720 I can guarantee you the attitude to win one nil 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.680 you score more points than trying to score fifty. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.800 And that is a perfect example, because I think if 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.160 they do the two nil mindset, they are a good team. 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.760 They end up probably winning fifty nil. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.280 That's because it's like we've always said since nineteen o eight, 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.680 if you double down on your defense for some reason, 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.560 helps your attack, but if you're attack minded, it doesn't 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.760 help your defense at all. And it's a big game 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.319 for the Bronx. Yeah, Reynold's three hundred hundred potentially Wolf. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.400 Yeah, just too good a side. Coops too. 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:51.960 I feel for I. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.400 Feel for Payne Arson, Patrick Carrigan a little bit like 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.400 they go out on Wednesday night and they spill everything 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.880 they have for their states, and they came back up 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.280 again and they do it again, and they're just not 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.120 getting the response. I think a bit comes down to 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.880 Adam Reynolds, like just bringing that team together a bit 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.839 like a bit like Fog he has been doing for 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.560 the Raiders. Like the Raiders have a very hard nosed, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.960 full pack. They've got super exciting outside backs. But the 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.720 key part of that is Jamal Fogue together and I 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.440 think a little bit of. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:26.040 Reynolds for that. 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.000 Pain hasse There is talk that he will test the 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:33.400 open market. Well, he's coming off contract. His managers alerted clubs. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.040 That's what managed. That's his job. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.800 There is not a dollar sign that you would not 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.640 give pain us if you're one of the new teams. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.440 I asked the boys last night, do you reckon Payne? 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.360 Has is a chance with that? You know, we're going 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.720 to see slowy caps starting to come in go up 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.120 as new sites coming in the competition. Doregon needs a 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.880 chance to be in the first two million dollar player. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.480 Like you could mount a case for it, like right now, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.920 if you're starting up the new franchise and everyone is available, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.360 like pain ass is in the conversation with Cameron Munster, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.080 Kaylin Ponger and Nathan Cleary, like he is right there 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:09.000 alongside them. He's one of the very few front rowers 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.200 who can win a game. He can win a game 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.560 with the carries in the effort that he does, and 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.320 he's a good example of a pro. Like when you're 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.200 setting up a franchise, it's almost like your first signing 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.440 is the bear of the culture. But the first signing 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.760 is the one through the door that says, Okay, if 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.040 we are going to set up who we are, it's 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.880 because of this guy. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:34.880 I mean, Perth Bears, mate, as far as pain is concerned. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.560 And the other one, Mate, I'm telling you cops, P 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.760 and G. If P and G come into the competition. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.080 Let's say, for instance, and tax free money, you go 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.000 to paint and say, mate, one point eight tax free. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.160 It's a lot to think about. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.480 That include Harve's consultants deal. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.000 Yes, it does, it does? 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:51.680 It does? 0:15:51.960 --> 0:16:03.320 I mean Jerry? Now, mate, let's talk about Markey signings 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.240 right owen And the one I want to talk about 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.680 first of all, Cooper's the Melbourne Storm. You're our club 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.760 because I remember I spoke to Chris Anderson about this 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.400 and a lot of my Newcastle mates were in those 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.720 early Melbourne Storm sides, and he said, Chris Andersons said 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.400 to John Rueba when they're putting the looking to put 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.360 the side together. You know, he said, just get me 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.360 a great front rower and a great half back and 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.960 I'll win your comp Laza may get much better than 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.840 that right in the later years, but mate, just presence, intimidation, leadership, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.320 knows how to win. And Bret Camorley the other early 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:40.960 in his career, but he's gone that way me and 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.600 mileson now and won it in the second year. And 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.960 the other one that was crucial as well was to 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.680 our Nick out, I mean two hour Nick hou. He brings. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.400 He brings winning attitude, the blakes of warrior and just 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.240 a motion. I look back, it's such a shame he 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.720 signed with the Knights going into the ninety five season 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.360 and then he was a cow Yeah, Nick, and he 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.280 was over in Castleford and he just wasn't ready for 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.360 the change and we led him out of his contract. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.080 Oh man, I'd love to play alongside him. What I 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.959 felt now some of the market he signings. Let's go back, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.639 say we'll start eighty eight and in eighty eight you 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.960 had the Broncos, the Newcastle Knights and the Tweed Seagulls 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.720 which now have eventually evolved into the Gold coast of sorts. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.480 So the Broncos their markets signing Surprise, Suprise, Wally Lewis. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.320 I'll talk to Wally. You know it's amazing. Sorry, I 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.200 haven't Madge around a couple of years ago. He told me, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.200 those unbelievable years at winning, when they're winning everything, he 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.480 basically didn't get a cent he said, I earned, he said, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.240 those years in the QRL. He said, I just basically 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.760 earned no money through those years. How that can happen, 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.439 I don't know. Towyd's sea goals. They signed Ronnie Gibbs, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:47.560 profile and toughness and the Knights. The Knights expend in ure. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.359 The money they spent in that first year on the 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.080 entire squad was ninety thousand dollars right, and they signed 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.720 Adrian Shelford for Wigan for thirty five. So what they 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.600 did they went around, They hunted around and they just 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.520 signed Blakes with the two series Plenty of Tomorrows and 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.879 tough and the bloke who one of their major signs, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.360 This major signing with Sammy Stewart, terrific bloke, great ambassador 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.320
