1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the podcast for another week.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: After Round one, Sweet Red, crack it open.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: You recording this, it's the morning is your fifth of

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the day. You go first?

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: You first?

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Now round one, running one or lost? First game was

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: focus on game in focus this week Panthers versus the Broncos.

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: It was it was built, it was built up, it

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: was built up to be game in the round. It

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: fell a little bit flat for a couple of reasons.

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: But I think there was a key couple of moments

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: to say, Penrith, they're not going to be anywhere but

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: the top four again this year, like just so professional.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: We've said this a number of times. Man, if you

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: want to win the majority of games in the first

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: four to six weeks, defend well, have good completion rate,

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: and have a half back that's got a great kicking game.

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly what Penrith did.

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: They just put them in a good old fashioned stringer.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: That's what happening. If you go back and watch the

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: game where Penrith typical. Penrith just kept handing back the

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Broncos the ball in their own five meters, bringing them

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: out and the conditions were difficult. It was very difficult

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: conditions to advance the ball towards the sideline, and they

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: just put them in the phone box and just frustrated

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: and then.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: Put the ball up and Jenkins chases through put some

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: pressure on while Sharer like. There was just a couple

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 3: of just more clinical ways of scoring tries as opposed

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: to flamboyant ways like just turning the screws tighter. There

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: was a little bit of a shift in the way

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: that Peneth are going to play. They shifted the ball

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: a little bit out of their own end. Normally they're

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: very much OAO through the middle and grind their way,

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: so there was a little bit of that, and I

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 3: thought the Broncos missed the mark. I thought the Broncos

38
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: tried to do the big flamboyant play and try to score,

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: and when the pass was there was an error or

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: a turnover. It just allowed the Penrith machine to get

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: into a good field position and grind away at the victory.

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: I thought the Broncos were too much sideways big play.

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: It didn't work. Way's big play, and when Reese works,

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: it works. But when it doesn't, you're going to find

45
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: different ways. Because I think, yeah, the Broncos missed the

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: chance in that second half, trying to find a little

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: bit of rhythm and win that game. Jack Kolga comes

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: on the field. He's defending next to Mitch Kenny and

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: Lindsay Smith. That's a small middle on the Broncos. Paynehause,

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: Xavier Willison, Patrick Carrigan.

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: Don't go the shift.

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: Play with Reese Waltz, two passes wide, centralized attack, bash

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: the front door down and get Reese to run through

54
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: the middle as opposed to shifting it.

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: If the Broncos performance had a twin brother, be the

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: Roosters wouldn't football their way to dominance. And if the

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: if Penwyth had a twin brother, be the Warriors. What

58
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: to talk about that grit, simplicity and to think about.

59
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: One of the advantages that Penrith got to have an

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: every other side is Nathan's kicking game, in his composure,

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: in the very fact that they've got the ability if

62
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: they wanted to play really conservative and just go where

63
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: where when where down the field attacking kick and if

64
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: you get you know, look, if you give him regular

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for attacking, they're going to beat your ninety five

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: times out of one.

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: Hundred and the Penrith had some errors. They weren't alone,

68
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: but Broncos had eighteen or something like. It was crazy

69
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: the way they were disrespecting the ball and you just

70
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: cannot do that. They might beat a team at the

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: bottom of the ladder with eighteen errors, but they are

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: not going to beat Penrothal Melbourne and they look well

73
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: they did last year remarkable slip up against in the

74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: World Club Challenge. They're now on a little bit of

75
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: the back foot, but they will bounce back. They just

76
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: need to simplify their football.

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: I mean, both sides of the ball.

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: Don't over complicate it, like this game is pretty basic,

79
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: but we try to tend to make it a bit

80
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: more complicated than is. If they just generate some more

81
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: forward momentum as opposed to going for the big shift,

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: the big elaborate play, they'll be Okay.

83
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Well, let's if you're going to beat the Panthers, you've

84
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: got to complete really high because if you don't, like

85
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I said before, you're going to put Nathan into that

86
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: territory at the back end of sets. And that was

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: the tail of the tape. If you watch during the

88
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: game through the games Penrith, the first try is Broncos

89
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: make an error a certain part of the field, they

90
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: might much down to put an attacking kicking and they score.

91
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: It was interesting, you know, And we said about the Panthers,

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: what they're very very good at, coup is self correcting

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: on the run. The second try came about, it was

94
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: it was like they went through a patch they made

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: in three consecutive sets, the Panthers made errors. They just

96
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: forced the water too far, They've taken the ball and

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: trying to pass into the line. Suddenly you saw them

98
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: just totally self correct themselves, pull back back to simplicity

99
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: attacking kickers an error and then the play after Dylan

100
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: that try and Pakes was just gone. He couldn't get across.

101
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: Just an example of how their ability to pull back

102
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and adjust on the run.

103
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: And I think I liked what Jack Cogga did.

104
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Isaiah Yoh is the best ballplay middle in

105
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: the competition. But if there's going to be a beneficure

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: of this six man interchange, I think parents just nailed

107
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: it with Coga because he could be plugged in and

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: plugged out when the game needs him to be.

109
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 1: I thought what he gives Nathan in that last fifteen

110
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: to twenty min and you're a half bad very similar

111
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: to Nathan. You steer and control and all the rest

112
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: of it. Sometimes, you know, when you're doing that week

113
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: and work out, it can get mentally tiring. You see

114
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: when he comes on in those fifteen twenty minute burst,

115
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: Nathan frees up. I spoke to Jack Cocker about the

116
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Cocker about the Grand Final they won against Brisbane and

117
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: he was crucial in that win without Cogger in that

118
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: game again Broncos And I said, what was the message

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: that Ivan gave you? And he just said, mate, get

120
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: on there and just take control. Take control of the team,

121
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: don't you know, don't support Nathan, take control, get the

122
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: game plan back on and free up Nathan. When he

123
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: ran on the field, he said to Nathan, he said, mate,

124
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: let me control it. You just float around. You play

125
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: more of a second receiver role. And he did. That's

126
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: what he brings.

127
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: Think other teams will now start mirroring that mirror. So

128
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: that six minute a change. Put a half that can

129
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: control the middle or be dynamic enough to play dummy

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: half and run the footing.

131
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: Some standout performances. I lead off here. Mate, I'm I'm

132
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: so happy for Tanner Boyd. He's been through the ringer

133
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot. His kid that you can see a conference

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: doesn't come natural to him, very similar to Chanel Harris.

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Tavita thought he was incredible defensively that little play there

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: they're showing go everything changed for him after that. It

137
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: was just a conference booster. He needed Tanner and boy

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: They were good. The Warriors, mate. You know, it's like

139
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: you're saying about Penrith coops. It's simplicity. It's hard. You know,

140
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: straight running, physicality in defense, high energy defense carries you

141
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: a long way.

142
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: And I think if there's a team in the competition

143
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: that needs to win all the time games, I think

144
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: it's the Warriors. You win all your home games, you're

145
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: a chance to playing finals if you jag one or

146
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: two away from home. So they need to get off

147
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: to a good start. They got that home crowd up

148
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: and about, and I think it was good coaching too,

149
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: because what they did is they use their power forwards

150
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: to sort of control the Rooster's power forwards. But then

151
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: they attack Cherry Evans and Sam Walker on the edge. Yeah,

152
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 3: don't a boyd try shall and go inside sheld on

153
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: Cherry Evans and then klok Star's last try just movement

154
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: in and around Sam Walker and he came up with

155
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: thin air and clok Star goes through.

156
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: So it was good coach.

157
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know the Warriors are renowned for their flair,

158
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: and there is flair, but it stems all off that

159
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: power football play through an opposition.

160
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fisher Harris physicality through the middle was good. But

161
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: then I think one of the other standout performances with

162
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: losing the last two Grand Finals in a row, some

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: people saying Paramatta on the they get scored against early

164
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: on Harry Grant, the Melbourne Storm's performance the other night

165
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: single handedly dismantled the Paramatta team and there was a

166
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: lot of confidence from Paramatta go into that game. But

167
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: in the strike of what the first twenty minutes, they're

168
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: on up behind it under pressure and a little bit

169
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: of tactics in that game. Obviously Jonahpezitt, former Melbourne Storm player,

170
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: they knew that his defense probably wasn't up to scratch

171
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: at different stages physicality and decision making. Go back and

172
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: watch some of the tries that Storm scored in the

173
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: first half. Watch the reaction of Jerome Hughes. He throws

174
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: a short pass in the peasant before the Jack How

175
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: try quick play the ball runs over peasant. Jack How

176
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: scores the next play and Jerome Hughes is up and

177
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: about because he knows that he just dismantled young Peasiant

178
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: threw a short pass, quick play the ball, try next one.

179
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: Harms don't get much breathing place today. Oftentimes we don't.

180
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: A young half goes in and we expect things from

181
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: straight away, when in reality coops, as we said before,

182
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: there's that progression. Thirty games in, they start to get comfortable.

183
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: Fifty games in, every twenty games after that starts to him.

184
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: Approved Jonah has been hyped so much because there's very

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: few pure halfbacks around. But you go back and look,

186
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: I think it was his eighteenth first Greder game. Yeah,

187
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: like he's a rookie. He's a rookie player.

188
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: Go.

189
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: I think it was an error from Peasant. Was Joe

190
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: chan the back rod from the Storm pressuring him him

191
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: out before he wanted to pass football made an ere

192
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: I stood over the top of him. So there was

193
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: intel from Melbourne Storm that helped them win that game

194
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: against the ParaMODA. I thought the other stand performer, Bradon

195
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: Trindle and the Sharks. Oh man, Like, there is something

196
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: about Trindle and Heines this year that's different to the

197
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: last two years.

198
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: Now, I know it's only one game and.

199
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: We're not going off too early, but Sharks, of what

200
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: they've got through the last two prelims, they need something

201
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: this year they get to another prelim and fail, people

202
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: are going to go okay. This roster needs a shake

203
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: up and there is a lot more swagger and confidence

204
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: Heines and Trindle this year than there has been a

205
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: last two years. Like he was was it two tries

206
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: four tri cis that is like? That is pure domination

207
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: from a half back in the game of football.

208
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Mate, it was he was fantastic Braid and Triddle. And

209
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I was talking to Josh had ocr last night on

210
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: the Sunday Night Show about it, and we said, when

211
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: you talk about the best halves in the game, Tricky

212
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: never gets to mention. Of course, he's probably not the

213
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: most flamboyant. He's not that sue you look at him,

214
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like a really athletic, but he's just he's

215
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: a pure football What do you think about Ethan Sanders, Oh,

216
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: my goodness, play good.

217
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: Five games scores his first try up against Jamal Fogey,

218
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: former number seven. There's a lot of things that says

219
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: a rookie halfback might just hesitate and step back a

220
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: little bit, game on the line, runs a ball, scores

221
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: a try. And then we interviewed him after the game

222
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 3: and I asked him about the field goal and he said, oh,

223
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: I actually wasn't thinking about the field goal, but then

224
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: I realized it was a quick play the ball and

225
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: the manly plays didn't send pressure, and I just went into, oh,

226
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: there's an opportunity to the fact that he summarized that

227
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: in the split second. There is something about this kid,

228
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: because most young halves will either oh, I've got to

229
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: kick it at the corner or I'm just going to

230
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: spray one here, because I could make it, I could

231
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: win it. The fact that he actually broke it down

232
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: and said, okay, well that's a quick play the ball

233
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: on near the forty meter line.

234
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: I can kick this. There's no pressure coming. Actually, I'm

235
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: gonna have a shot.

236
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: It's a good point.

237
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: Looking back, you have a look at the replay.

238
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: The pressure that comes from manly is not in a

239
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: game winning moment.

240
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: There's no one from marker shooting out. Really hard.

241
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: There's no one from the front line shooting out, and

242
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: Tom Travoivitch said after the game, we didn't think he

243
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: would take the shot.

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: That's interesting, and he noticed the pressure and took the shot.

245
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: That's interesting because I was thinking after the game. I said,

246
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 4: my god, there was just so little pressure, and I thought,

247
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: wasn't the fact that mainly were a little spook given

248
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 4: the fact that they got a penalty for being a

249
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: for camera being a step off side sending him the

250
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: golden point. But you're right, the way he stood there

251
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: gave no indication whatsoever he's going to go for a film.

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: Jake Travoivitch is not shot out of accounting to put

253
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: pressure on. There's no one from the front line that

254
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: has moved up, and young Ethan Sanders senses that and goes.

255
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: You know what, this is my opportunity, and he wins the.

256
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: Game for his club, and that question mark around him

257
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: and strange been two young halves coming through.

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: They've played a.

259
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Lot of junior foota together, have they.

260
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's a.

261
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: Combination there and behind that forward pack with that speedy

262
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: outside backs and athleticism, there was enough in that performance

263
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: that says I don't mind what Ethan Sanders can do.

264
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about that. That that combination would talk

265
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: about players and sequences of note. Ethan Strange and Ethan Sanders.

266
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: As you said before, they really impressed me. Interesting that

267
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Ethan Strangers now playing on the right, so hope they

268
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: tell me he is his favorite side. But that's the example,

269
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: is that he takes him on, puts a little dent.

270
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: They don't try to reset. They just keep the kettle

271
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: boiling and there it goes a little split play one

272
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: under one short. Don't mean he goes through. That's how

273
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: when the kettle's boiling and you've got him on the

274
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: back foot, don't reset the middle. Don't buy yourself time.

275
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: You just you're buying the defense time.

276
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: Keep going and as halves, you should always do what

277
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: you're good at.

278
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: Ethan Stranger on the football, looks like this kid is

279
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: good going across the field and can show and go.

280
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: So I like that he ran the ball and then

281
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: Ethan Sanders round the ball. But I do I like

282
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: the Strangers gone to the right. Right footed kicker needs

283
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: to improve in his kicking games, so kicking on that

284
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: side of the field is better for him and Ethan

285
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: Sanders is left footer on the left side is much

286
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: more confident kicking the ball.

287
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I like Ethan Strange after the game talking to keV

288
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: and you like he did see He's like his character,

289
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: but he's sort of old school footballer. That makes sense

290
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: just the way he was bantering with keV and.

291
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: Kevy he said on the Kangaroo too, or he was

292
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: a sponge around Nathan Clear and Moses, particularly when it

293
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 3: came to kicking. So he knows that he needs to

294
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: improve in that era and if he does that, it's

295
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: only been a good thing for the Raiders, and particular

296
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: on that right hand side. I think Strange is a

297
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: dynamic ball runner and having a back roll like Noah Martin,

298
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: who is straight up and down, is very good for

299
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: a ball running half. If you have someone that likes

300
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: to pre line pass and things like that, yeah it

301
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: can put you off, but Noah Martin in that.

302
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: Try here, it doesn't hesitate.

303
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: K Weeks is running across the field and if he

304
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: doesn't move forward, this is not a try. There's a

305
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: back roll that loves contact, supports the halves. That's a

306
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: hell of a try.

307
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: For Gutsy and that's how that's how you compliment an

308
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: attacking player skimming across like is just putting. He's just

309
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: throwing the line in the water. He's fishing, and he's

310
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: complimented that, and the shows he's intelligence. Given the fact

311
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: that Kyo is just skimming across, He's spotted what he

312
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: was going to do, like probably three or four seconds

313
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: before it, and he starts to make that run.

314
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: And that's you.

315
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: There's a bit of footio que about that because Ko

316
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: Weeks is drifting across and when he squares up this

317
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: way into the line, Noah Martin squares up into the hole,

318
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: so he is aware that he's gone into the right hole,

319
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: and that means he needs to jump into the hole, bloke,

320
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: because if he's outside collar, he doesn't get that pass.

321
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I love the haircut too. That if you if you,

322
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: if you're an admirer of the Green Machine in the

323
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: nineties of canber Raiders and the tim Machines, a lot

324
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: of those Fords have that haircut. I'll player Darren Fritz

325
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: frit with Fritzy.

326
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: Ricky Stewart said after the game that he deserved his

327
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: spot because of the preseason. Yet so this guy sort

328
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: of gets in first last to leave as a crack

329
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: and he was ready for that game.

330
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: What did you would you think about South's left side?

331
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: A lot's being made tricky conditions.

332
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, triggy conditions, but a lot of points scored. I

333
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: don't like that from either side of the team. But

334
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: anything with Latrell for Feeder Cody, Cody showed some signs

335
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: that he's got his his mojo back. Latrell is always

336
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: going to be a moment's player. For Feeder was okay,

337
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: it looks like JII Gray is locked in. But I

338
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: will say this, we marvel at Latrell Cody when they

339
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: do their thing. I know he's not a new player,

340
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: but he missed the majority of last year. Cam Murray

341
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: is their most important player. He both sides of football.

342
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: He makes tackles at other peo will miss, and when

343
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: he's ball playing, he's like Isaao. He knows when to run,

344
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: he knows when to pass, and he's arguably for a Ford,

345
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: the quickest play the ball in the competition. And that

346
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: is only a good thing for Cody Walker.

347
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: He's going to be the beneficiary of that left side

348
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: as well. Is the right side edge players like you know,

349
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: the centers of Campbell, Grimes and Campbell Grahm got a

350
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: double given the fact that we talk about that shot

351
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: show and Helly hit him on edge, then shorten them

352
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: up hit him on the other edge. And now you

353
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: think about that threat of that South Sydney left edge,

354
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: you go Cody Walker to Big Day, Dave to to Latrelle.

355
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: It's going to take defenders to stop that threat, which

356
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: means at the other side of the field and following

357
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: play they're vulnerable.

358
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: So the key for sort of Ashton Wood, who I

359
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: think got injured so someone else might come in this

360
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: week is all they need to do on that right

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: hand side is count defenders. As soon as they get

362
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: four and four or five on five, that's their opportunity

363
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: to go. That means that the fullbacks on the other

364
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: side of the ruck, so it is literally just playing

365
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: the middlefield. If left side have the call, let them

366
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 3: take it. But if you get your advantage, get your queue,

367
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: take the ball on the right hand side, because if

368
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: people start over commensating defense for South Cinney's left edge,

369
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: which is a huge threat, you need the other option

370
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: to go. And it's a very similar situation for the

371
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 3: Bulldogs on their left side you've got kick our Burton Crichton.

372
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 3: Now if teams start loading up on that, That's why

373
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: I like what Galvin and Preston did, their ability to

374
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: connect when an opportunity is seen in front.

375
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: What about some other young players or teams you're looking at,

376
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: they're on the app The bloke on Tibet firstly is

377
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the one is Jack Howarth. What impressed me about Jack

378
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Howarth is we spoke about I spoke before about this.

379
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: If you watch the Cowboys play and it's a bit

380
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: of a trend in the game at the moment where

381
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you get you get centers or back line movements for

382
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: use of BET, it's on edge movements that are trying

383
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: to continually play around in opposition through parallel lines. On

384
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: numerous times in this game, there were a number of

385
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: times that he just got short ball and just challenged

386
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: he Santo just physically because he's I mean, he's a

387
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: back rower.

388
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 3: You've got to play of strengths, right, Like if you

389
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: are big and strong and powerful. Melvin Inger was big,

390
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: strong and powerful play.

391
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: He's still got scale like that, you know you're.

392
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: A Newcastle Goodley, Like if you're able to evade and

393
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: flick you've got to play your strengths and jack out

394
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: starting to find what his strengths are.

395
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Clark when he went on the field, and it's

396
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: like looking at Lasso again like that, that's for me,

397
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: his presence, his athleticism, and he got the boy. They

398
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: said he was a big boy. They said it was

399
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five kilos, you know, at one

400
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: point a year ago and made his big and he's

401
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: athletic and at one point like that there it is

402
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: good late footwork, it's a quick play of the ball.

403
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: That's where it like so Laso like. But there was

404
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: another time that he didn't receive the football, but he

405
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: ran a really straight line on an option plate and

406
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: he looked like an edge back rower.

407
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to be big and powerful once he

408
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 3: gets a couple of games under his belt and a

409
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: few preseasons like getting look at that like there's a

410
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: young man going through the teeth of the Paramatta defense.

411
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: He looks. He looks like he's got a big future. Ye.

412
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Another mate from my hometown, Fletcher Sharp Flaser sharp man.

413
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: He they were the Knights were because that Vegas was

414
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: a while ago. They were one of the actually probably

415
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: the best performing team. There was some big score lines

416
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: over the weekend Round one, but in terms of it

417
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: impressed me. The most I thought Newcastle did was very good.

418
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: That's that combination work. Well yeah, I mean he went

419
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: off injured.

420
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: The first twenty or thirty minutes that he was on

421
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: he looked like.

422
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I picked the right balance they did. I like

423
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the shapes that Justin Holbrook had him run because both

424
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Dylan Brown and Calm Ponge and Fletcher Sharp they run

425
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: first plays and you want them running the foot, but yeah,

426
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: you don't run for the sake of it. And the

427
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: shapes he was setting up. Were saying about the shape

428
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: before with Ethan Sanders, the split shape under one short.

429
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: It's a running play which gives you a pass option.

430
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: And that's the way the three of them were playing

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and Kaylen coops. It was a really good sign for Newcastle.

432
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Kaylen was barking on the field. It's the most I've

433
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: seen him up on his toes and he was organizing

434
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: the attack into shape.

435
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, back you up there.

436
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: I was sidelined for that game in Vegas and it's

437
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: the most vocal, demanding, best leadership performance I've seen from

438
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: Kaylen pomer and we spoke about how he could sort

439
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: of change the way that fullbacks play. He doesn't have

440
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: to always be three passes wide. He doesn't have to

441
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: be the guy that just jumps on the back of

442
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: a line break. He could be first receiver, second receiver,

443
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: third receiver, main ball playing kicker, and he did that.

444
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 3: He kicked the ball for a try for Fletcher Sharp.

445
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: I think he did it all and it was the

446
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: best performance I've seen from new Castle in.

447
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: A long time.

448
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: Teams you need to lift or individuals come on, hit

449
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: me with it.

450
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: Well, roosters for one, I'll leave your mob for last.

451
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: Actually noticed the Titans.

452
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: There was a lot of hype.

453
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: I like what Josh did in the preseason, but there's

454
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 3: one thing that needs to improve, and it's their goal

455
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: line defense. Like the Nico Hines try where he wraps

456
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: around from a hidden position on trindle like as a

457
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: defensive edge or a defensive edge play. You just cannot

458
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: have your blinkers on. You need to be able to

459
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: have your head on a swivel and see multiple players

460
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 3: moving around. I think is trying to instill a defensive system,

461
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: but they're just trying to be so robotic at the

462
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 3: moment they're missing things and the external process yeah.

463
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but they were poor. They were poor.

464
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: It keeps. You know, when we talk about trial games,

465
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: people say, you trials mean nothing. In my opinion, they

466
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: mean something. They smashed the Melbourne Store and I think

467
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: what you take out of trials, particularly with a new

468
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: coach and new players, is you go into the game

469
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: testing these new principles and say do they hold up

470
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: and do they work? And what you saw with the

471
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: Titans the way he Josh wants to coach that side,

472
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: it works. There's no doubt about it. Talking about trials.

473
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: The danger sometimes with trials is the fact that you

474
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: can come out of the trials and go who we're

475
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: ready to go, and that two weeks leading in you

476
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: just don't dot the ice cross the t's where other

477
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: sides will get there. I think that two weeks leading

478
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: into that first game, you've really got to be pulling

479
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: the shoots back, going right out and really examining your game.

480
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: I think as a collective, I think the Titans would

481
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: have been doing that, But individually, there's no doubt that

482
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: some guys would have went, Okay, I'm going good, I've

483
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: earnt my spot and I'm ready to go. And I

484
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: think how that manifests itself coop a lot of times

485
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: is the energy that you know, you actually exude in defense.

486
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: First time the Sharks had the ball and that's the

487
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: first set I'm sitting there. Could be in trouble here.

488
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: They just kept poking their nose through. What about the Roosters, mate,

489
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: I think, look, I don't want to say my temptations

490
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: say same old Roosters, but in the last five years,

491
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: coup most of those years we've gone into the competition

492
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: and go, mate, the Roosters can win this. Roosters. You

493
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: know a lot of people saying they're our competition favors

494
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: and everything, and you're going to the first few rounds

495
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: and they just don't get their football balance right and

496
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: going to New Zealand in those conditions round one, you

497
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: know how the Warriors are going to play. And like

498
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: we said off the top of the show, they tried

499
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: to finesse and football their way to superiority and they

500
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: got caught out.

501
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: And you could tell by the way they played that

502
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 3: they were way more focused on maybe that new spine

503
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: developing and playing good attacking football.

504
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: But to concede forty points.

505
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say this that, Yeah, Cherry Evans and Sam

506
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 3: might sort of have some question marks around their attack,

507
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 3: but I think if they get their defense right, they

508
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: make the Roosters a better team. As I said, ton

509
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: of Boyd went through on Cherry Evans, Clok started try,

510
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: Sam came up out of line. There's just moments that

511
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: we analyzed football and we say halves is all about attack. Well,

512
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: if halves can make a team better defensively, there's twelve

513
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: points or a few other points they might say to

514
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: make them a better team when they come down to fight.

515
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I dare say this is not the

516
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 3: first time that Trent Robinson's had a team that has

517
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: started slowly.

518
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: And then I had to finish with just want to

519
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: ask you about you know, and it will it has been.

520
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: It was one of the stories of last year, and

521
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: that is, you know the Dogs and their halves. Who's

522
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: the seven, who's the six? You know Ken Galvins gym

523
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: around the park. We commentated that game and what is

524
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: it concern Well, at the moment, again, we'll put it

525
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: this way. Camera Cerrello needs to do some work on

526
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: still the game management that the halves.

527
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: So there was what was it, four minutes to go,

528
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: it was obvious that you had to take the shot.

529
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: Now there's two parts to why that didn't happen. Either one,

530
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: the coach has worked out the system that when it

531
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: gets inside five minutes, what we're doing, which I find

532
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: out really hard to believe under camera Surrealdo, I would

533
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: find that they have simulated that situation five hundred times

534
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: during preseason. So the next one is the shot callers

535
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: in that moment. If you go back and have a

536
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: look at that set with four minutes to go, at

537
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: no stage does Galvin or Burton fall into some position

538
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: that says I'm thinking about the field goal. So I

539
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: think it comes back to rehearsing it, knowing what it is.

540
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: And in simple terms, Mattie, if it's a tied game

541
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: and you get to ten minutes, maybe try and shift

542
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 3: the ball for a try. But if you don't reset

543
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 3: the middle, take the shot. If it's inside five minutes,

544
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: don't over engineer it. Simple effective runs, get to the

545
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: right side of the field and take the shot because

546
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 3: you can put scoreboard pressure on the opposition. All of

547
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: a sudden, they need to start risk first reward. So

548
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: inside five minutes. Don't sugarcoat it. Just take the field position.

549
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: Take the shot way too much. Passing leads to stress

550
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: and chaos, and you probably don't get the right field

551
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: position for the shot. N.

552
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Five cups anyway,
