WEBVTT - Tigers Trauma 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.840 Hello and welcome to the Daily Telegraph. In our podcast, 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.520 yes it's Tuesday, it's not a Monday. We're pushed back 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:17.680 by the King's King's birthday. Was King's birthday week? Holiday? 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:18.279 Is that what it was? 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.120 Everything's delayed by the king's birthdays. 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.880 We never know because we see anyway. Matt and Carnation. 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.320 Pam Whaley, Mate, you're on. You're making a no fatima 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.160 today to look excited up off the bench. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.479 So yeah, no, it's good to be. It's good cracking weekend. 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.279 You'd be up and about your panthers had a win 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.400 on Sunday. You're excited to be fair. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.600 I got I got bash bladed security guard downstairs because 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.600 the Panthers reserved grade team lost. Oh wow, generally up 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.319 on my taste. But whenever a Panther's affiliated tickets, it's loss. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:48.080 I get accosted. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.000 Are you good weekend? 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.520 Yeah, at a good weekend? Just did some life admin 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.400 lifem lots of cooking, cleaning. Well, you know you're getting 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.120 your life in order. 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.360 Okay, you know you do you washing and make. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.520 I'll tell you who's got their life in order. This 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.520 is a good segue the bulldogs because they are flying 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.479 at the moment. I was actually out there on Sunday. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.040 I left before kickoff Monday Monday, Sorry, I had to 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.800 go and do three sixty. But when I left it 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.000 was about five minutes full kickoff, and the queues outside 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.920 the ground were ridiculous, Like we're talking foremosts from the 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.800 gates to the car park. When the do the dogs 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.800 are back, the crowds are out, it's it's so good 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.920 for the game, to be honest, the dogs going well. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:35.800 I was out there too. I was down there where 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.520 the Bulldogs end was I think, but it felt like 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.080 that both ends of the ground. It was either when 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.240 parascore there was heaps of Para fans. With the bulldogscre 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.160 there heaps of Bulldogs fans. I was in the middle 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.640 of two massive drums, so whenever the Bulldogs scored, it 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.880 was absolutely chaos scenes out there. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.960 I'll be honest with you on the game drums at 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.160 the football because I'm an old man and we hate noise. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:02.400 Why do you go to the foot because famously lots 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.040 of noises just digress temporary. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.240 My two pets, the footy drums and loud ground announswers 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.760 cannot cop them too loud, too noisy. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:11.800 How do you feel about flares? 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.079 I'm okay with as long as the going to go 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.120 on the ground where the flares are on Sunday. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.760 No, I'm just saying, I'm just trying to figure out 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:20.280 where the line is. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.000 What do you think? It was pretty? It was a 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.839 great It was a great day for rugby league. Sorry 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.560 it keeps on Sunday Monday. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:27.720 It certainly was. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:28.040 Yeah. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.960 We've talked a lot on this podcast about the Bulldogs, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.840 whether we think for their going to make it make 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.880 the finals, whether they've turned a corner. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.760 It seems like they definitely have. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.320 I reckon that was a pivotal game for them. Yeah, 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.840 just because Para is obviously one of those teams that 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.280 may make a run and they've sort of sunk the 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.560 boot into a bit and I opened up a bit 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.920 of a gap on them, and I've had a look 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.440 at the drawer. I think their draw is pretty good 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.200 and they run home the dogs. There are a few 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.240 injuries now though, but you know, I think the top 0:02:58.320 --> 0:02:59.360 eight's realistic now. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.920 Yeah, I think there'll be plenty more drums in your 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.720 good But we're just throw about all these injuries, like 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.000 every time someone went down locked yesterday. You just thought 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.959 that they were going to fall over. I mean, the 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.560 their forward line, it seemed like the power just going 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.160 to crash through them. But they just kept coming back, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.079 coming back. It's one of the best wins I've seen 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.440 them having a long long time. So yeah, yeah, there's 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.480 plenty of bit excited. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.839 About in the last couple of weeks as well, because 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:24.400 they had was it. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.400 They beat Newcastle the week before without Matt Burton, and 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.040 I think that was really that was really important for 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.680 them too. And then just to be able to put 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.960 these games back to back and just kind of keep 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.960 soldering on, it's very very impressive. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.080 I mean you look at those injuries at the moment. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.000 Obviously I lost a few of the week and I'm 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.040 just checking with I. They've got the buy this week, right, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.360 So so all those guys who had Hias, the Currans, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.240 the Haywoods, they'll be back for the next game because 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.080 the buye this week. But obviously Jake Preston has been 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.480 really good from great Discovery the last couple of years. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.560 Broke an ankle, kick out, still out at a car, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.120 still out. They're doing it without some big an. The 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.680 guy is really impressed. Man, Mattie. He's a guy you know. 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.120 Well Steve Crichton, I mean how good he is unbelievable. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.960 He's got better yeah this year and he was great 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:12.520 at Penrith. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.800 Yeah, I think it's his leadership. Dave Ricky I wrote 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.600 a really good Colin story a couple of weeks ago, 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.039 just before Origin, where he's got handshakes for every single 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.560 Bulldogs player and he's trying to do it for every 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.960 single Blues player too. I think it's it's very on 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.000 brand for Crichton. But he's just he's doing leadership in 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.920 his own way and it's just it's. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.680 Cool to see a player step out of that Penrith 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.440 system though and do even better and kind of the 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.440 spotlight is all on him. There's so much pressure walking 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.120 into that job at the Bulldog So right, he's the 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.760 marquee signing, he's the captain. You know, he's the best 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.560 center in Australia. Is he going to be able to 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.200 pull this team up? And he's been able to do it, 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.719 and yeah, he's just playing amazing footy. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.240 Yeah, you're right about the leadership thing. I think he's 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.440 caught a lot of us off guard. I don't think 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.160 anyone realized how great the leader he was because you 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.440 know Pentuther's yeo and there's Cleary and those sort of guys. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.720 So I don't think we really appreciated how good a 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.800 leader he was. But you know, you talk to people 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.440 at Canterbury and cam Serrealdo and those guys, they said 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.480 from day Dodd he was the bloke. He led the 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.719 way of training and he's just a pro. Yeah. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.479 I think coming tenk coach, I think there were people 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.080 that were doubting is So he's definitely the kind of 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.840 coach that knows what kind of personalities he's got in 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.840 his players. So yeah, lots of drums beaning out of Belmore. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.280 Yeah, sadly. Michie Boy Mitchie moses. What do we make 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.800 of his performance for the Eels? Was it enough for you? 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.159 I think. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.880 Enough? I mean, obviously i'm talking with origin of mind. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.480 I know, I don't know. I feel like I'm sitting 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.600 on the fence a little bit about it. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.000 There's no space for sitting on. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.200 Yes, he should be there. I don't think that that 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.680 was a super performance though. I think maybe the game 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.560 was there for the taking and those are the games 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.640 that should be iced and he needs to be icing 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:03.160 those games. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:05.280 What do you think. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.640 Mitch was pretty critical of himself, and we had him 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.400 on three sixteen and interviewed him, and he basically took 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.320 a large part of the blame and said, I should 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.160 got them over the line. He's probably right, right, I mean, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.600 the half back dictates. We always say the half back 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.920 dictates the result, and the good half back stand up 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.120 when the game's in the line. I think, yeah, I 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.280 think Mitch knew that he hadn't got the job done yesterday. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.760 Yeah, I can't remember what the score was when who 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.560 was it that went to kirk Man? When kirk Man 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.720 went to the bin and they had the Dog's pin 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.560 on their line for about three or four sets, and 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.200 you could just see from from behind the place how 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.240 much the Dog's pack was struggling. I just thought, para, 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.280 Mitch was just going to take the game by the 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.800 scruff of the neck and set up his falls and 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.160 crashed through. That's where they looked really weak. But it 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.840 just didn't happen. And kind of these times of the 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.360 year where you want your best Blues players to be 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.680 kind of stepping up, like a few did over the weekend. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.640 Mitch wasn't quite there, but I mean there's no dubt. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.440 It will be picked right. There's I know Nico didn't 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.440 play over the week and they're both playing this weekend. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.560 Niko's got the Thursday game, but I think it might 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.280 just kind of assumes that Mitch is going to get 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:06.679 that spot. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.680 He started the game really well though, Mitch. He was 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.520 really involved and I'm running the football, and then he 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.000 just sort of drifted out of it a bit. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.160 But even the week before, like the week before, he 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:16.920 was great. Yeah, right, he was back. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.280 He was just you know, putting kicks just on a dime. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.240 Everywhere he was directing, he was at his best. And 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.320 then yeah, that that game was there for the taking. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.680 Yeah, see, I think that just quickly back to the 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.280 dogs before we move on. I think they'll make the eight. Now, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.560 what do you guys, what do you think you got 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:35.040 him in there? 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:35.840 I think so too. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:36.120 Yeah. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:37.160 Nice, they are we there now? 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.240 Right? Yeah, they got to buy this week. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.960 So yeah, a kick out in a fox in I 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.000 think there's I think they might want some backup kind 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.480 of in the in the falls in the front rail 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.440 and if they dag someone or here they've got injured 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.800 at the moment. But yeah, definitely. If they that momentum, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.080 that trajectory, just can't deny them. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.040 So we talked about mischie Moe's for Origin. What about 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.120 the great man Latrelle, I've got him in I reckon 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.760 he's in Latrell. I think he's done enough outstanding on 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:08.280 the weekend. 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.520 I'm really intrigued here because clearly Madge wanted to see 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.000 something out of him, or a lot of people wanted 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.560 to see something out of him, and now that he 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.200 has shown that over the last couple of weeks. I 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.840 looked up his stat I looked that up while he 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.000 was playing. Actually, these are the most amount in the 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.800 five week period. He's got ten triasis. It's the most 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.920 amount in his career. So people talking about whether his 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.000 informat of form or he's been a little bit scratch, 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.920 and he has been. But in terms of trying to 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.240 step up and lead a team, he's done that. So 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.120 I don't image has his reason so for not picking 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.160 in game one. So it'll be really interesting to see 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.360 what happens from him. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.280 Are expecting mass changes in the blue stand? 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.480 Do you think, well, there's some force funes right, I 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.280 mean swally, he's not there, assumed Le Martin will be 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.000 all right. I mean there's question Mark him his question 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:04.800 Mark over Mali and then Niggahans not playing, Mitch Moses 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.880 coming in. You can you can argue that was not 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.840 a force change. But Mitch would have been there before 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.600 the series started. It was only through injury, wasn't there. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.480 So you know, I think you can explained away a 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.200 lot of I think Madge can explain away a lot 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.280 of the changes that he will expecting to make. Maybe 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.839 five maybe you can explain a lot of that. Like 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.760 Jilan Edwards comes back, he'll get named today and probably 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.079 play this weekend, right, so he would have been there. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.560 Mitch would have been there. There's two changes straight away 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.240 that aren't really thought that they're not. They're not so 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.840 much force changes the changes you make, but the change 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.360 you would have made if those guys are so, you 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.400 can explain them away, right, I mean, really the only 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.319 ones are I reckon. I mean, you know, obviously a 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.600 force change because the trail comes in. Imagine the trail 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.240 or Raymian stags Tongo, who else Burton's in the mix there? 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.439 I think are we all in agreement? The troll just 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:00.800 comes in? 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:01.240 Yeah? 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:02.959 Yeah? Are we? 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:03.800 Are we crazy. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.199 I think fans are really I think fans are crazy, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:09.000 They're really fickle. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.120 But I think on Trell's divisive, right, He's just that's 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.160 just the way people viewing. He's polarizing. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.439 Absolutely, But when he puts two or three weeks of 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.440 performances like he has and he's not in that Game 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.319 one team and we've lost, and they're just going to 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.160 expect him to be in there. But Madge obviously has 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.800 his reasons. He wants to see something like I understand 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.040 Latrell hasn't been as warm to the preparation some of 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.160 the meetings in the lead up to So it'll be 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.360 interesting to see how whether Mage sticks to his guns, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.360 because he's he's a very he's a guy that he 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.720 can be a stubborn coach at times, like he sticks 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.520 to his own philosophies. He's got his own values. 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.280 So I don't know, this is the issue a super Madge, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.480 right if he if he doesn't pick Latrell and they lose, 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.719 he's left himself wide open, absolutely, completely wide open to 0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:02.119 being yeah smashed, basically because I think now even Latrell's 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.240 most art and critics think he should be there. Yeah, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.520 and you've got people like Andrew John's coming out and 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.959 saying he needs to be there, and some of the 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.079 legends of the game have said, you've just got to 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.439 pick him. So I don't really think he's got a choice. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.720 We're not really saying anything different than people don't already 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:23.080 know that Latrell is just kind of an enigmatic player who. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.000 On his day he's just the best player in the game. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.800 You know, he could He's the guy that Queensland would 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.880 be afraid of because they don't really know what to 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.120 expect from him. He can just run straight through them. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.959 He can create anything, as you said, the triassysts that 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.440 are coming from his hands. He can just create anything. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.319 So he should be there just based on kind of 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.839 that alone, Right, what do you do if. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.439 You're in Magistrates? But because I was talking to a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.560 maid of mind about this on the weekend, and with Latrell, 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.360 it's always he's I think two or three times in 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.360 the past. Was his last game twenty one or was 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.000 it nineteen, I can't remember. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.880 No, it's place, yeah, yeah. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.320 But it's I think two or three times he said 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.840 no he's made himself unavailable or like it's always got 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.000 to do with Latrell's timing and whether he wants to 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.040 play Origin or not not, Like you know, I'll throw 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.360 all my eggs in there. I'll do whatever you want. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.680 There's been, you know, like I brought up before the preparation, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.920 a couple of meetings that he preferred not to go to. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.280 If your madge, do you stick to your values or 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:28.000 do you just about a public opinion in Latrell's form 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:28.480 and that. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.640 Kind, Well, you want to win, right, you just pick 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.520 your best team. If he's in your best team, I 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.360 think you just got to pick him twenty one. It's 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.240 amazing to think it's been three years since you played 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.160 Original Patrel that you know. I just think you're you're 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.160 right as a Qualma Queenslander, proud Queenslander. Latrell scares me 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.040 more than anyone. Yeah, there's no one else that in 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.280 that team that really. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.160 Life in general, specifically football football terms. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.360 Yeah, I mean he's he's the guy I can just 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.600 win it on his Yeah. So you know, if i'm 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.640 McQueen's and I from Billy Slater, He's the last girl 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.080 I want to see in you said Wales team. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.679 Yeah, I think for Origin teams though, right, this is 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.360 a this is a team that kind of belongs to 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.400 this state. I think that there are you know, coaches 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.280 can have their philosophies and their values and things like that, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.480 but if you've got a player who is ready and willing, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.880 and he's one of the best players in the state, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.439 you just pick him and you figure out a way 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.880 to make her work, because that's just kind of what 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:29.800 you've got to do, because. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:30.040 You've got to win. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:31.959 Yeah, and I think Latroll's made it. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:32.240 Let me. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.800 People say he's got to come out and declare he 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.400 wants to play. Well, I know we we hate social 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.160 a lot of us hate social media, but he did 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.120 that on social media. He came out publicly a week 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.839 or so ago and said I believe Blue, you know. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.760 So then he put up that insta post of him. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:50.920 Very very. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.439 So let's agree. We'll agree on that one. Right, He's 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:03.040 got to come in. Edwards comes in. Humm, yep, Moses in, yep. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.079 What do you do Cam Murray's a chance of playing 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:11.199 this weekend? If not, yeah, I think they might have 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.040 been picked Cam even if he doesn't come back. But 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.320 do you bring Cam Murray straight back in? Yeah? 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.920 Based on previous Yeah, his history, he doesn't need much. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.040 He'll play me in the middle. Yeah, he'll be fine. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.440 Yeah, Okay, and Matt Burton and to the side somewhere. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.080 That's the only outside you've got Latrell, the Swally selection. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.520 I think the only other one that fan they helped 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:40.120 the unforced change is Burden. I think fans everyone knows 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.120 that you need to game one show that you need 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.480 a utility. I'm still burning from when we didn't pick. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.240 It too mad about that. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.320 I can't believe that we still have to make these 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:53.920 mistakes too to learn the lesson do you need it game? 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:54.920 What's that four? 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.400 We got four changes, but it's magic philosophy. What's that 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.440 not going with four forwards and not having utility on 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:03.480 the bench. He really wants the back. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.920 You've got a plan, got to You've got to. You've 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.240 got to be malleable, right as this coach. You've got it, 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.560 because you've got It's not looking in the all season. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.240 We've got twenty seven twenty four, seven weeks yet, right, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.520 twenty four games. You've got three weeks. It's three games. 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.800 You've got to nail it from the start. Yeah, and 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.240 he didn't nail game obviously, get didn't help, but That's 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:22.680 what I mean. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.520 So we obviously had an idea game on how he 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.480 wanted to play, but it obviously all went out the window. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.280 Got to adjust on the run. So he's got to 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.600 adjust and change, you'd hope. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.240 So we'll see on Sunday. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.640 If Martin and Olakau or one of both of them 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.840 are out. What are we looking out there in the 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.600 back row? We mentioned Murray, Yeah, potentially Mitch Barnette. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.480 Mitch Barnett. Potentially he was in the squad in the 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.360 first place, so he thinks that right, yep. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.840 Okay, Well we've just made mass changes. Yep, yeah, I 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.560 love it. I love it. Changes nothing better. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.240 You just you they were forced some of them. Yeah, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.720 well we. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.480 Playing them away. We said, we've given manager a tip 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.200 on how it can explain these these changes are way 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:16.800 speaking of saving injury face Brandon Smith, this is a 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.120 I mean, there's been lots of whispers and scuttle but 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.360 about Brandon for a long time now, but obviously things 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.280 are getting serious because the Roosts have given him a 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:30.840 breach notice. He missed a team review last Monday. I 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.480 think it was after they had lost to the Cowboys 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.080 and sort of put him on notice. I guess Brandon, 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.240 it's funny. It's time. There's been he's played some good foot, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.320 he's played some bad foot, he's had some injuries, but 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.360 constantly it's had this. There's these whispers and scuttle but 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.160 around miss time there. Do you read this as the 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.480 roosters maybe trying to push him out the door, just 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.160 put him on notice and made you need to pick 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:56.680 up your act. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.520 I think it's a yeah. I think it's definitely a warning. 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.840 Though, right, it's pick up your act or you are 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.960 out the door. I don't know whether it's in particular 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.240 push trying to push him out the door, but more so. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.760 It's unacceptable. And if how many chances does he get? 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:12.960 So? 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.240 How many susan so? Has he had two breaches? 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.920 Well he was on that podcast with Jimmy Graham and 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.080 he indicated and he had one. This is the first one. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:21.360 Yeah. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.119 I thought that was very telling that that's just a 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.159 ruthless thing. Right, it's not a club. It's not a 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.320 league wide kind of standard where you get you get 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.560 a couple of breach notices. Is this an internal kind 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.720 of standard that they've set in terms of no, no, no, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.680 that's like employment law it's like us here. If we 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.639 get three breach notices, they can get rid of us. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.159 So we've got to be careful. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:41.320 You're on about. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.800 Last chance. What do you reckon Brandon? I mean it's 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.240 sort of time. There's been a bit. I don't know. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.560 I mean he's on a huge money brandings. I've eight 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.600 hundred thousand. I think he hasn't really I don't think 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.639 he's been the player we saw in Melbourne. He's shue 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.240 glimpses of it, He's had flashes of it. It just 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.840 hasn't been the same player consistently. But I think this 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.200 year was This year has been better than last year. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:07.840 He's strong, a few more games. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.720 I think he had he battled injury a little bit 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.159 last year too, So I think he's been He's mirrored 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.320
