Gordon, 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: now pick and flick. And it's about time Queensland realized 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: that this holy than no holier than thou attitude has 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: to end. And poor old DCE, a legend of the state, 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 3: has been treated as us scapegoat. 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 4: To agree with you, I agree with you. 14 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: I wanted to come back at me. 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 4: Well, tedsco was e the Australian captain that was a 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 4: mid series, right, so our jake a winning series not 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 4: mid series. 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 3: The first time in history captain has been dropped after 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: one game. 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 4: After beat and only played one.

I didn't have a suit with me, 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: so I had to come from Lura for this shirt. 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: So you got that from wardrobe.

He keeps lighting the fears Bulldog, 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: and he's geeing those Queenslanders up. 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: How do you feel about it? 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 6: He certainly doesn't speak for us, bull Frog, and he's 40 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 6: been slipping around up here looking for stories. 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 7: The old days. 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: Losman used to lick it to me on the side. 43 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: I remember, don't forget them. 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 6: Days years ago. 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: Alright, I was in all seriousness. 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: Congratulations, we haven't spoken here since game one. On the 47 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: win and you go into game two making or having 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: to make limited changes. 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: That must feel good. 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, it does break. 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 6: I think the fact that We've only had to make 52 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 6: the one change and it's a big loss Mitch Barnett 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 6: because I thought he was very inspirational with his performance 54 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 6: in Game one. But Stefano was with us the whole 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 6: campaign and he actually trained every session learning into game one, 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 6: so for us that's an advantage. So we felt that 57 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 6: he's playing some really good football. He's doing everything we 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 6: want him to do and it's going to be a 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 6: be asked to fill the role of Mitch Barnett, but 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 6: we know he's capable of doing it. 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 4: Hey Laurie, it's good here mate. What do you expect 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 4: from the Queenslander's down one mill in the series? We 63 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: don't have a great record over there in Perth. What 64 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 4: are you expecting from us? 65 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 7: Yeah? 66 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 5: I think they're going to be tough. 67 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 6: Good do I think the amount of criticism that they've 68 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 6: received has been over the top. I mean, at the 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 6: end of the day, it was eighteen six in a 70 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 6: State of Origin game and they could have played a 71 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 6: lot better than what they did. Our blokus know that 72 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 6: Queensland will come out with fire in their belly. They'll 73 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 6: come out playing their best football. 74 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 7: And we know they're dangerous. 75 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 6: When the people are writing them off, so we certainly 76 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 6: won't be falling into that trap underestimating them. 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 7: We a lot to play for ourselves, as do. 78 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 5: Quiensland Laurie Paul Cruley. 79 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: Mate, how do you go about making sure that complacency 80 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: doesn't come into it though? Because like Bulldogs done the 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: story today and it's human nature, isn't it. You can 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 3: fall into the trap and New South Wales have done 83 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: it over the history of Orange many times. 84 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 5: How do you make sure it? How do you address it? 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 5: Do you do you address it? 86 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, we certainly address it. 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 6: But I feel comfortable in the fact that, you know, 88 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 6: we've got a lot of these Penrith players in our 89 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 6: group and they're real leaders in their own. 90 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 7: Sort of way, and the fact that they've been able. 91 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 6: To win four consecutive premierships suggests to me that that's 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 6: a strong culture. We've got strong leadership, so they'll be 93 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 6: invaluable in their role this week. But as I said, 94 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 6: you know, we're playing to try and win the series, 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 6: so that should be motivation enough for our guys. We 96 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 6: know the challenge that awaits us, we'll confront a head on, 97 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 6: but preparation will be spot on. Mentally will be fine, 98 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: and then it'll come down to the bounce of the 99 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 6: ball on the night loss. 100 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: Isn't Max King a truly remarkable story like that? For 101 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: nine years really just couldn't quite establish himself as an 102 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: out of all player for varying reasons, injury being the 103 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: primary reason. 104 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: Now he's not in the Origin side, but you've got 105 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: him star. It's a wonderful story, isn't it. 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, it is, Doggie. 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 6: I think Max is a great example of someone that's 108 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 6: had to fight and show resilience all the way through 109 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 6: his NR real career, and I think that really holds 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 6: people in good stead. They appreciate the opportunity when it's 111 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 6: given to them, They understand what they do well in 112 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 6: their game, and they consistently do that when they pull 113 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 6: on whatever jersey they're playing for. So you see his 114 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 6: performances for the Dogs, and then you saw what he 115 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 6: did in game one off the bench, I thought he 116 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 6: was great. 117 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 7: Now gets an opportunity. 118 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 6: To start, so I think you feel more comfortable starting. 119 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 7: But all his actions. 120 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 6: Just suggest to me that he's an Origin player, just 121 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 6: one of those players that goes about his business. 122 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 7: Low Fuss just gets the job done. 123 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Lons Queensland have dropped DC, They've brought in in. How 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: does that change or does it change your approach and 125 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: the team heady into game two. 126 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, Tommy is one of the best players in the game, 127 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 6: and I think what he did for Coisland last year 128 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 6: and what he's been doing for North Queensland over the 129 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 6: last couple. 130 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 7: Of years has been exceptional. 131 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: He's a constant threat with the ball, and he and 132 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 6: Cam Munster, you know, we're going to make sure that 133 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 6: we contain them on Wednesday. 134 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 7: They're running games will be so critical. 135 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 6: To how Coensland play and I think that both those 136 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 6: players will have huge impacts on the game. But we're 137 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 6: going to try and be at our best and we're 138 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 6: going to try and nullify them. But Tommy did and 139 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 6: he's a wonderful player and he challenges the line more 140 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 6: than probably minute most hard packs in the comp and 141 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 6: we expect him to do that. 142 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 7: Again on Wednesday. Los. 143 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: What about Cameron Munster being named as the Queensland captain, 144 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: do you think that that will inspire him to go 145 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: after the game more too? 146 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 7: I think so, Paul. 147 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 6: I think that Cam Munster, to me, I think he'd 148 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 6: be really suited to that Captain's ye rolled. 149 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 7: He just seems like that player that would you know, 150 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 7: I feel like he's got to do. 151 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 6: A bit more than what he normally possibly would and 152 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 6: try and carry that responsibility of leading his state, and 153 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 6: I reckon he'd be sitting back thinking, you know, I've 154 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 6: got the six jersey that Wally Lewis used. 155 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 7: To play in. 156 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 6: I'm now captain of Coensland. I'll show everyone what I'm 157 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 6: capable of doing on this arena. He's done it many 158 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 6: times before and I've seen guys like that that the 159 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 6: champion players get that extra bit of responsibility and they thrive, 160 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 6: and I think Cameron will be one of those players. 161 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: Hey Laurie, talking about champion players, what about pain has 162 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: and game one didn't train all week? 163 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 5: Comes out? 164 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: Same with Crichton by pain Has you played with Glenn Lazarus, 165 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: Paul Harrigan pain As is he one of the best 166 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: front roles that you've ever seen. 167 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 7: He's certainly on each way. 168 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 6: Gordy, I think what he's been able to do in 169 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 6: a short period of time has been amazing. And for 170 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 6: a big man, he just moves across the ground so well, 171 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 6: both with the ball and without it, and He's only 172 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 6: relatively young still, so you know the world's he's oyster. 173 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 7: You know. 174 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 6: I think he'd love to go on and win a 175 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 6: competition with the Broncos. He'd love to win more Origin 176 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 6: Series with New South Wales. And if he stays on 177 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 6: the path that he's on, then there's no doubt that 178 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 6: at some stage in the next four or five years 179 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 6: people will start to compare into those type of guys. 180 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 6: But you know, Pain's very well grounded.

But no, we're very, 295 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 9: very confident in Kaylan. You know, we thought he did 296 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 9: some great things in game one. We didn't get a 297 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 9: whole heap right in Game one as a team, and 298 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 9: that's really important for us. 299 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 8: To go after that for game two. 300 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 9: It's been a fair bit of honesty around the first 301 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 9: thirty hours of camping in this game too, So yeah, 302 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 9: we want to get those things right so we can 303 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 9: unlock some of what Kaylen brings to the team and 304 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 9: some of the other strengths of the players. 305 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: Billy talking about unlocking someone Harry Granny was a little 306 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 4: bit disappointing in game one. Was there any temptation of 307 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: starting from the bench because we have a fair bit 308 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: of success when he does. 309 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, there's always consideration of everything, Gordy, and there's 310 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 9: a lot of conversations that happened throughout the week after 311 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 9: an origin, But Harry is a quality player, and to 312 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 9: be fair, I think Harry would be the first one 313 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 9: to put his hand up and say that he was 314 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 9: blow his own standard in game one. So certainly have 315 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 9: great faith in what Harry brings to a footy team, 316 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 9: and he'll be wearing the nine jersey, that's for sure, Billie. 317 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: I asked this respectfully. Give him what you've achieved in 318 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: the game. 319 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: But three straight losses, are you personally feeling any additional pressure? 320 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 9: I always fear when you say I asked this respectfully 321 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 9: and respect question. 322 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 8: But it's a really good question. 323 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 9: And you know what, what's the opposite the pressure to 324 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 9: the opposite. The pressure to me is comfort and when 325 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 9: you're in your comfort zone, there's no growth, So you know, 326 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 9: I feel pressure is a privilege. I felt pressure when 327 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 9: I first took this role on and there's still pressure now. 328 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 9: Like it means a lot to us, it means a 329 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 9: lot to the players, and it means a lot to 330 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 9: the people of Queensland. So with that comes pressure. But 331 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 9: I'm okay with that. I'm okay with the position I'm in. 332 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 9: I'm here for the right reasons. I'm here to help 333 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 9: this group of players perform for a game of footy 334 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 9: and that's where my focus is. 335 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: I love your mindset, I love your attitude. Billy, it's 336 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: always a pleasure having you on the show. 337 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 8: Good luck for game two, pleasure, have a good night, guys. 338 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: He is the great Billy Slater. He does have a 339 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: big challenge for Game two, but if anyone can do it, 340 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: it's him and the Queensland. 341 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 4: That's a great question, Dog though, because I feel the 342 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: pressure too, Like it's sort of strange, you know what 343 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: I mean, Like the like I'm not because it's out 344 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: of your control. I think as a player, like you 345 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: probably get nervous and it's in your grasp and you 346 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 4: can go there. You can change the result. And Billy's 347 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: making decisions and we don't know whether they're right. But 348 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: I feel like we're under the pump. I feel like 349 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: you guys. 350 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 3: Are coming to get from these too, Gord. He only 351 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: lose two or three games in Origin. It's not an 352 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 3: ural coach. We've got an entire season. You lose two 353 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: three games, you are under the pump. 354 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 4: It's with Freddie right, and he's a cool one of 355 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 4: the coolest guys I play with. And it's and I 356 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: reckon it's it's the privilege that the whole state care. 357 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: There's so much that they want to know who's in 358 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 4: and out and what's happening and why. 359 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 7: We lose them. 360 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: It's such a great like it's a great job to have, 361 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: but there is a lot of pressure. 362 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: I always thought as a player and looking at my 363 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: coaches over my career, the best coaches were the ones 364 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: that handled loss better than they handle wins. 365 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 7: You know. 366 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: It's quite easy for players and coaches in elite sports 367 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: to handle wins, you know, but it's how you respond 368 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: to losses. And I think the greats like you know, 369 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: Wayne and belly Ache and those guys, and they respond 370 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: to losses just as. 371 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 7: Well as they respond to wins. 372 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: They know how to handle loss, they know how to 373 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: move on the next week and resetting because. 374 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: This is his biggest challenge. Billy is a winner. 375 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: He's not used to losing in every aspect of his 376 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: life on and off the film, so this would be 377 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: a bit of a shock to him. And the heat 378 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: is on. You can't deny that, I think. 379 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: On the flip side of that, though, Laurie Daily coming 380 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: back from his previous stint as the new South Wales 381 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 3: coach and the courage that he has shown to want 382 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: to take on this job again and get it done 383 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: like I think it speaks of the firing competitor in him. 384 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: People don't realize, like we've watched Kevy Waders, we've watched Lri, 385 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 4: We've watched Brandy, We've watched guys that have been in Origin. 386 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: They've played it, but when they walk back in after 387 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 4: a series, it looks like like sometimes they look hoigh, 388 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 4: like it's just it's strained everything. 389 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: Out of them. 390 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: All right, DC, let's discuss this. We've spoken about the 391 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. There were rumors Brent Reid broke it. 392 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: I think last Saturday, didn't he? DC looked like he 393 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: was going to be dropped. Do we agree with it 394 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: or don't. 395 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 5: I think he had. 396 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: I think he had to do it, and that's why 397 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: I did ask him respectfully, would he look back on 398 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: this series and wish that he would have gone with 399 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: Tom Didden first up? Because you said it the other night, Gordon. 400 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: They did come into this series on the back of 401 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 3: two losses. What they were doing wasn't working. I think 402 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: most people when you watched Origin one, the first real 403 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: angle that came out of that story was DCE under 404 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 3: fire and then Billy sat down on the Sunday Footy. 405 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 5: Show that week. 406 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 3: He'd had four days to think about it, and he 407 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: still didn't give a clear answer, and thought to himself, 408 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: if he was going to back his captain here, he 409 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: would have come out and said it. He would have said, 410 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 3: how dare you accuse him? He's our leader, he's our captain. 411 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: We're taking him in. I think we knew at that 412 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: moment he was gone. 413 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: We said it on the show. 414 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: I asked Gory, I said, if he loses, and it's 415 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: a convincing loss in game one, will it be the 416 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: last time we. 417 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: See him in our own jersey? 418 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 7: And it pretty much is. 419 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: You know. 420 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: The first word that came to mind though, when he 421 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: dropped him was panic. Why well, he's picked him before 422 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 3: game one. God, that doesn't mean to be there for 423 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: all three games. I get that, but let me finish yet. 424 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 3: But then that's the lordy partner. I get that. I'm 425 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: saying to you, if you pick your captain, he's your leader, 426 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 3: he's your mentor, he's your playmaker, he's your kicker. You 427 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 3: have made your bed for the series of myrs. But 428 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 3: if you decide then to pick him for one game, 429 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: boot him to the gutter. I think that smacks of 430 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 3: on the concrete, smacks of panic. I think it's smacks 431 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: of leadership. I think everyone realized watching that game it 432 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: was the tough decision that had to be made. He 433 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: would have been sidestepping the issue to go forward. I 434 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: think they conceded, they've made it's come out and say it. 435 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 3: They did get, they got annihilate. He just spoke then too, 436 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 3: about about the honest conversations in the last twenty hours 437 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: or whatever, and that's what they need to do. 438 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 5: Gordon. I asked you this too about your pack. 439 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: How do they turn around what had happened the other day? 440 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 3: And I know you can't go out and put on 441 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: the big it's anymore. They've got to do something different 442 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: to try and rattle and upset the new South Wales team. 443 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, well they can't miss the start. It was probably 444 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 4: a glorified club game with the intensity that we went out, 445 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 4: especially on our home turf. I think Tino Moe and 446 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 4: our starting pack has to work really hard. We've got 447 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 4: to get it. We've got to get under their grill. 448 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 4: And it's not being ruffle and it's just actually. 449 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: But it almost is when you get the Queens rivalry 450 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: controlled aggression. 451 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 4: We've always had small packs, right, and we've gone there 452 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 4: and done the job against bigger names and much fancied sides. 453 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 4: And that's what this side has to do. The Gary 454 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 4: Larson type of performance. We need Them's your question. 455 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 3: Do you think the Queensland Pack have enough hard heads 456 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: and I've been real ruffians to cope with state of origin? 457 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: Yes, because in origin one they. 458 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: Look like a club side against a New South Wales side. 459 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: Which looked harder and they look like a representative side. 460 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 461 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 4: No, and as I said, we're up against it. New 462 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 4: south Wales are in their prime Matte Marma, they've got 463 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 4: a really good footage side. It doesn't mean that we 464 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 4: can't compete with them. Doesn't mean that the seventeen guys. 465 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 4: I really like our bench. I think we didn't have 466 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 4: anything coming off the bench. So when we couldn't go 467 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 4: with you, we had nothing coming off the bench. I 468 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 4: just looked at the makeup of our side. It's a 469 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 4: better mix and we've got to go with you from 470 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 4: the start. All right, Cruel, you've had enough. You think 471 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 4: DCE should just announce where he's going next year? 472 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: I do. 473 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: I think that Daily Cherry Evans by playing in this 474 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: series put himself ahead of his club, I thought, and 475 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 3: I know it'd be a really tough position that he 476 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 3: was in to try and turn his back on Queensland. 477 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 3: But I thought, given that it is his final year 478 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: at Manly and this decision about where he plays next year, 479 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: it's dragged on and it's obviously affecting. 480 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 5: DC's form because he's been up and down all season. 481 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: So if it's affecting his form, it's affecting his club 482 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: and it's affecting Manly, and I think the fair thing 483 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 3: to do now would not be to drag it on 484 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: any further. He's just got to come out and let 485 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: us know where he's going. 486 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: Is there a chance that Rusters can get cold feet here. 487 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 5: Or I don't think so, Brath. 488 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: I think the wheels are emotion months ago.

Yeah, it would sting. 636 00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 7: Now that's the reality of it. 637 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: We can dance around it, and the dogs can too, 638 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: and that's all fine because they're going to be strong 639 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: enough and good enough to get through it. But the 640 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is there's a couple of kids 641 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: that are probably hurting there at the moment. 642 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: So it's excuse the pun, it's it's dog eat dog. 643 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 7: It is. 644 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 3: If a player comes along who is better, then they 645 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 3: existing gets the boot from the great dog himself. You 646 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: could see too with the way that Galvin straightens up 647 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 3: their attack and they just looked a better team straight 648 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 3: up and he runs it's first up. 649 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: And that leads me to Sexton. 650 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 7: Where will he land here? 651 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: You know, the rumors straight away were that Galvin is 652 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: there to play seven. It took what sixty minutes for 653 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: him to get there. But does he I mean he's 654 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: been named this week with Burton in the Origin squad 655 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: all that, But in a two or three weeks time, 656 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: where do we see Sexton? 657 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: Where do we see Galvin? 658 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Cameron Serraldo showing his hand by playing him 659 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 3: at dummy half, Like if if one is to go 660 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 3: and read Marney gets pulled off the field the other 661 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: day and they have such a rap on young Bailey Hayward. 662 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: Sexton could play even for the remainder of this season, 663 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 3: that interchange role where if he can show that he's 664 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: comfortable that dummy half and he can come on and 665 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: fill in the halves, he keeps his place. 666 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 5: I don't know, what do you think a key position. 667 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 2: It's a specialist position. 668 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 3: I don't think the Dogs would want to throw a 669 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 3: half back into their dummy half over the back end 670 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 3: of the season when they're running first. 671 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: That's an enormous risk of off the bench. It's just 672 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: convenient for him yesterday. Given a situation, I think Mary's 673 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: got a start. They would go on to nine. 674 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 7: If they need it. 675 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: They wouldn't carry two halves in the team, sext and 676 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: he'll be the four guy. If they don't do what 677 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: they did yesterday going forward, they maybe they could stick 678 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: with Sexton and Burton and have Galvin off the bench. 679 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: It's unlikely, but other than that, I think Sexton will 680 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: go Galvin feel uncomfortable. Do you think he would feel 681 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: awkward at this moment? 682 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: He's coming to a side though he's clearly seeing other 683 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: players in the side or done a good job all 684 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: year getting their noses out of joint. He's walked in 685 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 3: off the street basically as a young brash kid. But 686 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 3: I'm just wonder with a deep down, is he feeling uncomfortable? 687 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 6: You know what? 688 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: I think he's shown a lot of courage to step 689 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: into that position with all the criticism, all the eyes 690 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: on him, the speculation, To perform the way that he 691 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: has and to fit into that team the way that 692 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: he has. 693 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 5: Done was remarkable composure for a nine year old. 694 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: What we saw there when he sat on the bench 695 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 3: for what was it, the fifty nine minutes or whatever, 696 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 3: and he looked nervous. 697 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 5: He looked like he had the weight of the world. 698 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 5: He had a lot to prove, and he just went 699 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 5: out there, and he fitted like a glove.
