1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Coops Penrith, mate, did you get back? 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 2: Did you get on them back in the door? 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: I didn't, I was about to say, because I remember, 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: uh we here thirty one dollars. I remember one person 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: to make. There'll be there'll be a point in the 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: season where I should have backed him and I should 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: have walked out of here and backed him. 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: But yeah, anyway, they are warm into this back end 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 3: of the season. They're doing all the right things. And 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: you think about the way they've won four comps in 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: a row. Is they've done it over their defense, good 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: completion rate and Nathan Cleary's king game and management. Right, 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: what did they do yesterday defensively so strong, really suffocated 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: the Dog's attack. Their first era came in like the 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 3: sixtieth minute or something, and Nathan Cleary dominated the game 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: again like they're just doing the fundamentals better than anyone 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: else at the right tom of the year, and the 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: Dogs were beaten up. 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: They they didn't have their. 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 3: Best players there, but the coaching mass, the class and 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: the execution of the attack. I don't think I've seen 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: too many impressive performances this year. 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Nathan and Ivan have done it again. 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: The precision you said Cooper. Their attack was amazing and 25 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: you had to watch him, you know that, Just the 26 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: science they played with, it's so beautiful to watch. And 27 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: at the moment in a game which has become obsessed 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: with sequences and formations and shapes, nothing beats like a 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: clever drawing passport movement. And see yesterday, even if they 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: had a little sweep option rather than gave for the 31 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: cutout ball, it's ding ding ding ding ding through the hands. Great, 32 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: great to watch. 33 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: You and I are Rugby League nerds. 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: And there's a couple of moments, Jesus, a couple of 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: moments from Nathan Cleary that you just have to marvel 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: at the forty twenty in the second half, he's on 37 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: the wrong side for a right foot, he shapes the 38 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: visics going to his left. That sends kind of Tracy 39 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: and Paul Rina Karma just didn't have any eyes for 40 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 3: Nathan just came back across and kicked the forty twenty. 41 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: The pastor tongue or the the slick rocketball that he 42 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: threw like that is yeah, that is just sending me 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: to perfect for the past ticket on the outside and 44 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 3: then the squareness for the top. I just loved that 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: eating over Play's hand when arrow straight created space to 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: lunge to do his thing. So there's a couple of 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: little moments not to me that people would pick up. 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: That was part of the big storyline. It was Nathan's 49 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: performance that kick. 50 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: We had Isaiah Katara on the show last night and 51 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: that's the what you just said there. He said like 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: a Heindy went just kicked it, and Isaiah Cantao goes, no, no, no, 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: You've got no idea how hard that was from that side. 54 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: And you watch it Coop just and we again use 55 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the word science, but it wasn't. It was such a 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: slight banana, you know what I mean. He hit it 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: just just enough. 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: It's all got to do with the hips. 59 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: So he's facing in a direction with his hips that 60 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: says to kind of Tracy, I'm going to kick to 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 3: my left, and as the past comes kind of Tracy moves, 62 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: he actually just twists his hips back the other way 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: and kicks it straight and kind of trace. He couldn't 64 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 3: see it because he was on his bike. 65 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: Gun. 66 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, a couple of fellows. Yes, I give a 67 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: mention to Paul al Moti. Isn't he a big game player? 68 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: And you know, when Thomas Jenkins got dropped, I thought, boy, 69 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: that's a tough call. He's been so good and it 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: is a tough call. But Ala Moti man. 71 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: So the recruitment of let's say, Ala Motty, Papoli and 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: Blaze Talmi have really added a point of difference to 73 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: what Peter have already done over the course of the last 74 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 3: four or five years. Ala Motty, he had a day out, 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: three tries ran for that's the point, right, So there's 76 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: just this inspiration for him to come out and say, 77 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: you know what, you probably should have backed me in 78 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: because I'm doing these type of things. And it was 79 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: a bit controversial when Jenkins was pretty good, like he 80 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: was playing Okay. 81 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: I think you're there the player of the Brian. 82 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: Had a bit of an injury and got rested, and 83 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: Alamotti has just slipped in and got it done. But 84 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: there's one thing I wouldn't mind having to look at 85 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: is just we spoke about the attacking as the class 86 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 3: of Penrith using their big men on the edges. Now 87 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: going into the game, there's no Crichton. So what they 88 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: did they've made Galvin and sex And vulnerable because Jerry 89 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: and Burnon were either side. They put big men around 90 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: the halves and all of a sudden, the whole line holds. Look, 91 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: there's Isaiah Ball playing two passes wide. Sexton gets caught 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 3: in and they get the skill on the other side. 93 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 3: The way that they just change slightly their attack Nathan 94 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: Cleary to Isaoh and then a big man just they're 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: holding up kickout, just create space. And they did it 96 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: to the other side as well. Just the ability for 97 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 3: Nathan to know what plays he's got going straight, getting 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 3: the guys like Liam, Henry, Isaiao, Lindsay Smith, Papali just 99 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: on the edges around Galvin gets indecision and allows it 100 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: to unfold. 101 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: The other one dog, Blaze Telangy. If we switched to 102 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: defense now, every time we've watched Blaze play through the 103 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: you start to see his progression. He's getting more comfortable 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: with the football, He's understanding his role, he understands how 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: to compliment Nathan. What really impressed me yesterday was his defense, 106 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: his decision making defense. Penrith really compressed their line, you know, 107 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and they were inviting the dogs how to use the football, 108 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: and as you know, Coop, if you if you're going 109 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: to defend that tight. It does make you vulnerable and 110 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: you're relying sometimes on someone in the defense line to 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: make the right decision. Snuff it outside in. He did 112 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: it a couple of times yesterday a couple. 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: Of times, but then on the flip side press and 114 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 3: found him out a couple of times to him and 115 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: Casey McClain. Which we'll look into that preview with the 116 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: Panthers for the Broncos a little bit. But I think 117 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: the halves defense up against Rees s Walsh is going 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 3: to be crucial. There's an argument we're diving a bit later. 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: They should not let the ball get the Reswalsh outside 120 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: in defense often so rest doesn't get the ball. 121 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, gotcha. Some of the performers Brian yesterday and 122 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Yadie Jumbloo Moses Boy, he was fantastic. Dogs. 123 00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: What are you reading about the Dogs? 124 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: The first halfway through the year climb a couple of 125 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 3: changes and it's. 126 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Not all on the changes, but it had a lot 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: to do. 128 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: It disrupted them. I mean they went for a tactical move, 129 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: they went to sort of mix things up. Look, they 130 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: thought they could have improve the side and improve the 131 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: attack more to the point, it just happened too quick. 132 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: In my opinion, they tried. They just tried to fast 133 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: track it too much. 134 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: I think if your DNA is defense and that's what 135 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: you're going to win your comp on, and you try 136 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: and improve the attack, don't lose your defensive mindset. 137 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they. 138 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: I think they did by getting Galvin and moving them 139 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 3: around smaller guys. They lent more to finessing the play 140 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: looking for points as opposed to doubling down on their defense. 141 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: But in terms of the dogs they got next year 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: they win the comp is Galvin and burn your arms? 143 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: Or are you doing that? 144 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: I I think one day Galvin could be seven, but 145 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's I still don't think it's in 146 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: the next year or two. I think it's going to 147 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: take more time cups. So you think he plays six, 148 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I think he plays six. 149 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: And then Burton where senters, I don't know. 150 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: What they do there. If I'll just talk like singularly 151 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: about Galvin, I think he's six. 152 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: I'm going to give Galvin a wrap for Yes. Today 153 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: he came up with some good players and attacking players. 154 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: We've seen that he isolated De Langeyan MacLean Preston got 155 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: through a couple of times. The first try that he 156 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: scored is beautiful ball playing down the shore. 157 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: It's a very nice and nice little diversion. 158 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: But I think he needs to improve in some of 159 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: the fundamentals as a half back. I think he can 160 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: play seven. I think if the Dogs are winning a competition, 161 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: I think Burton is their six. He's starting to flourish 162 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: into a big time player, and I think he needs 163 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: to be involved more than just getting the ball to 164 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: him and number thirteen could be it. But I think 165 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: Galvin can do it. He's just going to need a 166 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: lot of coaching, one around some of his kicks, decision, 167 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: but also defensively he cannot be highlighted. I think they 168 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: attacked him yesterday and they attacked sext and so he 169 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: needs to improve in that area. But I think Galvin 170 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: will eventually be a good seven in his competition. 171 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: What do you think of the Suasan coips and just 172 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: quickly on that, isn't it funny? We just like a 173 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: season is so much about timing it as much as 174 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: you know. And all of a sudden he got Penrith 175 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: who were back at full strength and they're powering and 176 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: we saw a couple of sides in the Dogs and 177 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: we'll get to the Raiders a little bit later. But 178 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: the Raiders suddenly hit the wall, and that's what it happened. 179 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: Sometimes doesn't in it for whatever reason, just for two 180 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: gets into your bones. 181 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, halfway through the year they made those changes and 182 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: defensively they started going south as a post to north. 183 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: I thought, as sue as Crichton was injured, they were 184 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: a long shot of stopping Pederith. If if the Dogs 185 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 3: would have beat Penrith, you need to look around the 186 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: change room and go, oh, there's Steven Crichton. He actually 187 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: knows what's about to happen. And I saw pregame he 188 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: was out there with the edge defense. He had the 189 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: headset on trying to coach the team through. So I 190 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 3: think if he plays, there are a much better chance 191 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 3: of shutting down Nathan and the attack because he is 192 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 3: the best center in the game, and he's got the 193 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: footy IQ to know when to rush outside in back 194 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: off a little bit. He would have helped Galvin a 195 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: hell of a lot yesterday. But in terms of season, look, 196 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: they've done a tremendous job the Dogs to go from 197 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: the bottom ladder to where they are they're a top 198 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: four team. They will be a top four team next year. 199 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: Tinker with their attack a little bit because they need 200 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: to be a more threat against those better defensive teams. 201 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: But just don't lose you to defensive DNA. 202 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: I totally agree Coop and Thompson coming helps. 203 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: Because some of those bigger teams feel they can go 204 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: through the dogs. 205 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're talking. We're talking before about everything 206 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: being mixed up and there was such a focus on attack. 207 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: You've forgotten that first half of the season. The defense 208 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: was terrific yeap, but they made so fe a few errors, 209 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, and to win on the weekend against Penrith, 210 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't so much about reducing errors, it was about 211 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: eliminating But you know, at the start of the year, Coops, 212 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: when we reflect on their year, I remember, I'm not saying, Okay, 213 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: they're going to be they're going to be a top 214 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: four side. I think. I remember thinking to myself. Someone 215 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: asked me how they think they're going to go and 216 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: I said, if they can repeat what they did last 217 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: year get to the same place, I said, that's a 218 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: very good season. It's a very good suasan you know, 219 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: the competition it's just it gets more and more difficult 220 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: every year and it's hard to maintain. 221 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: I say they're a top four team next year. 222 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: Defensively that they're pretty good and that's where they need 223 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: to get back to. 224 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: Eight out of ten agree with this best player Jacob Preston. 225 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: I thought he was good in Caras had the hell 226 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: of the year. 227 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: I think you had to give kick out and Crichton 228 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: for moments. Yeah, like they they're going to do something 229 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: next year. Those two are their moment players. 230 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: Cranulla. They have reinvented themselves because we're talking about, like 231 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: I said on the show last night, every side you 232 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: have a like almost an identity, like if I or 233 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: something that sums them up. Look at Penrith, I say 234 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: in a precision Melbourne discipline when I always look at 235 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: the sharks within that comes to minds the nice guys 236 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: for the last two weeks, they're up the Andy, there's 237 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: talking tough and they're backing it up. 238 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: They like it. Fitzgibben Heinz for Nola Blake. They're all 239 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: talking like there's this siege mentality. Caronla Versa the world 240 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 3: and sometimes that can be quite a good thing to 241 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: focus in on and get nasty and get tough and uncompromising. 242 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: I really liked what the Sharks did. I thought they 243 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 3: won the game with their goal on defense. The Raiders 244 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 3: had a lot of possession, dominated the good ball early on, 245 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: and yes krey Hawes was scored one try, but the 246 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: Sharks goal on defense was rock solid and in big games. 247 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the stats are, but when you 248 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: defend your goal line for a fair chunk in the 249 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: first twenty minutes and you don't let the opposition score 250 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: many points, you almost force the opposition into options three, 251 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: four and five, but they didn't plan to do and 252 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: it builds confidence because then you get down the other 253 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: end and they did it again two tries in five 254 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 3: minutes going to halftime like it was a very rock 255 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: solid performance. And to go to the Raiders and get 256 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: the job done, that's a dialed in performance, like. 257 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: The late season surge from the Sharks. So there's a 258 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: couple of things here that powerful yardage combination Ronaldo and 259 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: Aden fanil Blake. Ronaldo gets the sets going, vanil Blake 260 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: finishes them off very very good yardish, mate key creative players. 261 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: Finally forming combination Nico and Trendle, but also Blake Brailey 262 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: and the other one is just great back rowers. They 263 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: have great back rowers, and I don't know any other 264 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: side in the competition that rely on their back rowers 265 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: more because if you watch them play, coops have a 266 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: tendency to drift sideways, but the back rowers they just 267 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: correct it. 268 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 3: Billy Burns is playing really well. He's keeping Nicker out 269 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: on the bench. Once you've got that back three front 270 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: rowers doing the damage. When Trindle and Niko Heines put 271 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: it together, that was They've played good games before, but 272 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 3: that was as a pairing. 273 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: That was one of their best coops. And that's it. 274 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: Like they have do you know, Like I was talking 275 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: to Crazy Fits Given at the start of the year, 276 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: we're having a yarn about you know, Nico and Trendall 277 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: and the age i'd argument, which is who's running the show, 278 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: who's seven, who's six, and all that sort of stuff. 279 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: And Fitz he made a good point, he said, you know, 280 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: they've been together now a couple of seasons, but they 281 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: actually haven't played a lot of football together. You know, 282 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: there's been Trendle's there's been suspensions, there's been injuries, but 283 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: you can see them. Like I thought that the second 284 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: try they scored was the perfect example of how they've 285 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: formed combinations and they've identified each other's strengths and how 286 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: to compliment it and they you know, it was the 287 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: two pass was a two sequence play. They went down 288 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: down the left, Tremble told a little lie out the 289 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: back to Nico who sat and just put put him 290 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: I think it was Kiro down that left hand side. 291 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: And then the following play and that set up, Trindle 292 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: just took the ball, wandered across, trust himself inside ball, 293 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, and heinz react and run. 294 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: When you make a line break near the goal ande 295 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: the normal mindset of a half is pass past, get 296 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: to the extremities. But Trindle just went into run mode 297 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: and that forced Niko hein stopped thinking about passing the 298 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: ball to support player. 299 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: And I liked that they. I like the Trindle controlled 300 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: the game like his kid. Game was good. 301 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: But then Nico took his time and hit the scoreboard 302 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: when he needed to. And the one thing about Niko 303 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 3: is I'm going to give him a rap here, is 304 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: that he's a nice guy. He's a tremendous guy, right, 305 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: and he does a lot of work in the community 306 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: and things like that. 307 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: But the fact that he's got this little bit of 308 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: arrogance telling everyone that. 309 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: Non shit in his river, that's good. 310 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: He actually looks like he's playing an aggressive mindset and 311 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: it's actually making him run the ball direct north south 312 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: as opposed to east. Were So Nico keep doing it. 313 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: Big game for him against Melbourne Storm. 314 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: Blake Brayley, Jesus his elevation, not just his football, his leadership. 315 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: You know. 316 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: I love through the week Coop. They asked him about Cronulla. 317 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: You know they're out there and you're proven the critics 318 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: wrong in the media. Well, if you're relying on media 319 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: for motivation, it's pretty empty motivation. I love. He said. 320 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: The other day he was talking about it and he said, 321 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: you know there's a bar over there that we all 322 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: sit together on mad Monday and have a beer and 323 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: reflect on the season. And he said, I said to 324 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: the players, no more of that. We don't want to 325 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: be there again. We want to be there on the 326 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: last day he's playing that. 327 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he might be going on Kangaroo tour. 328 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: Harry Green is the number one, there's no doubt about that. 329 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: But there's a fair chance to get his passport already. 330 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: Raiders hoops. It was the big talking point going and 331 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: everyone was reflected and how much was that you that 332 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: previous game the Sunday before, how much was going to 333 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: weigh on them? And look, there was no doubt losing 334 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: Ethan Strange was a huge loss leading into the game 335 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: because he brings the energy and every time Kronulla had 336 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: sustained possession, you just saw him getting closer to hit 337 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: the wall. And I think that I think the point 338 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: where they really where you go, oh, they're gone. The 339 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: Billy Burns try where Billy just wandered across and it 340 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: was just it was the defense line that was just 341 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: on the ropes and at that point, Billy scores in 342 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: eighteen twelve. But you're watching the game and you got 343 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: they've got nothing left in the tank. 344 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 3: They came out with a really good mindset camera they 345 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: were aggressive, They dominated the first period of time, and 346 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: they got some penalties and actually had the confidence to 347 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: go and score the try. So it showed that they 348 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 3: were going after the contest. But you're gonna have a 349 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: look at some vision about their goal line attack early 350 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 3: on and with no Ethan strange. I think they just 351 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: played two many short passes. One thing they'd look in 352 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 3: hindsight is they needed Kyo Weeks to move around the 353 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: field more so short passes starling here, just peppering there 354 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 3: for Young. I think you know, Jamal Foe, you played 355 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: a lot of short passes and it just played into. 356 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 2: The hands here. 357 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: They just keep layering off here and shutting down. Now 358 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: at this stage, the Sharks are getting confidence like it 359 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 3: doesn't matter what you throw at us, we are continue 360 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 3: to go along. Here. They scored a try through Corey Hawes, 361 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: but they just needed Jamel Fogey to combine with Hudson 362 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: Young and Kyle Weeks a little bit more than just 363 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 3: doing the short passes in and around the ruck, because 364 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 3: ultimately they didn't throw enough at the Sharks to make 365 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: them feel not comfortable. 366 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: What do you think, susan eight and a half headed? 367 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 3: I'm giving them a nine and a half. They were good. 368 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 3: They were great. Actually they were more than good. They 369 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 3: were great. And if you give them the regular season 370 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: you are pushing ten because I don't think two people 371 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 3: saw them get the minor premiership. But they had to 372 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: win for week one. They have a shot at this title, 373 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 3: and they just didn't manage to check over at. 374 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: Last forteen minutes of regular time to to have that 375 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: time again because through it threw so much out, you know, 376 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: like Ricky quite rightfully so said, hang on a minute, 377 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: whether minor Premier is will to play on the Sunday 378 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: and to lose that game in a quick turnaround. 379 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 3: I've been in their shoes and looking back on a 380 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: game that you probably should have won, you spend the 381 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 3: next three months analyze it in your own head. They 382 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: need to work out what happened in the final series 383 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: to make sure it doesn't happen again. And I think 384 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: Ricky Stewart will be looking at that deep. 385 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: It interesting Storm versus Sharks. They's talk about the two 386 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: finals games and here we go and this gets spoken 387 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: about a lot the week off against the side that 388 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: is surging with momentum, and this is what we got 389 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: right here at the moment. Sharks are going to go 390 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: down there. They're super confident, they believe they can beat 391 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: the Melbourne Storm. First he does Jerome play Jerome Hughes. See, 392 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: it's not like a strain when you break, when you 393 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: break a wrist or when you break a bar. It's 394 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: either right or it's not. 395 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 3: I think like it's hard for us to comment without 396 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: knowing what's going on. 397 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: I think the only way. 398 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: Craig Belly works out if Jerome Hughes can play is 399 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 3: he has a heart to heart to his half back 400 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: and says can you play. If he looks him in 401 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 3: the eye and says I can do it, I'd pick him. 402 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: But there's moments in that Brisbane game where he came 403 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 3: back from the left shoulder. So he's got a left 404 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: shoulder injury. Now he's got a left wrist injury. The 405 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: way that he was protecting that shoulder, his technique changed 406 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: defensively and it led to him breaking his wrist. So 407 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 3: he needs to be able to handle himself defensively because 408 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: they know that he's got that injury on the left 409 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: hand side. 410 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what. 411 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: The back rolls of the Sharks are going straight at 412 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: him and he needs to be able to defend. 413 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: If he can do that, I pick him. 414 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: What would you do? That's just what you said there, 415 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, like the end of the day. Yeah, the 416 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: old thing. Look, I'm the doctor, thanks Scoot, But yeah 417 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: you're sitting have you yard him? It's you just you. 418 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: I will say this in the Grand Fire, I played 419 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 3: with an injury. If everyone knew that I'd have broken scapula, 420 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 3: I don't think we win because they would have known 421 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 3: how about the injuries, and it would have just been 422 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: red flag to a bull. 423 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 2: Whereas soft whereas I think they know. Jerome Hughes got 424 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: a broken and a dodger left shoulder. 425 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: So he's going to be targeted the balls in and 426 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: he needs. 427 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: To be able to tackle Nelson training to be able 428 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 3: to handle what the sharks are coming in. Because if 429 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 3: I'm Craig fitz Gibbon, guess what I'm going to design 430 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: a play with Adam fanil Blake is running straight at 431 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 3: Jerome Hugh's. 432 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: Closer to Xavier Coats against the only Yeah, I think this. 433 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: Is something that the Melbourne Storre must do. Cameron Munster, 434 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 3: whenever you're on the fifth tackle, put the ball up 435 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: with Coats oppor chunity. Because Cartella got away with against 436 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: the Roosters. He had Daniel Tupa on him that week 437 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: and a couple of kicks just didn't find the spot. 438 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: So the tip to camera Monster is on the last play, 439 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: put the ball in the endle don't put it five 440 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: meters short, put it on the try line where the 441 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: cartel must jump. Because if it's a contest between those two, 442 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: I'm backing Coats every. 443 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: Day of the week. 444 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: Who wins. 445 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: I think the Storm at home. I think the Sharks 446 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: should be confident. I've got the. 447 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: Sharks going down there and making a huge game of it, 448 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: playing really well, good balance on their side. But I 449 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: think if the Storm can defend well, force the Sharks 450 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: halves into a bit of frustration. 451 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: I think Monster and Hues are the key. I think 452 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 2: they can win the game. Come on, a couple of players. 453 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Sunday at sun Corps Stadium could be one of the 454 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: great finals games. We've had some, We've had some beauty. 455 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: It's been a great final series so far. This one 456 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: is this could be, This could be something. 457 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: If these two teams turn it on, which I expect 458 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 3: they do, the NL should seriously consider more Sunday afternoon 459 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 3: finals football Loveday. But what we have seen already this 460 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: final series versus the Broncos, Penrith versus the Dogs, if 461 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: Penrith versus the Brisom Broncos, and I'm just going to 462 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 3: break it down as Cleary versus Reese Walsh two of 463 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: the more influential players in our competition. If they can 464 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: turn on an absolute clinic for both of their teams, 465 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 3: we're going to be loving what happens on Sunday afternoon. 466 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 3: And I think, yeah, there's a lot of other players 467 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: that come into this, but I think the matchup between 468 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 3: those two is pretty key. Reese Walsh can be found 469 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: out on the last play. He can be found out 470 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: of position with kicks or running the ball, and I 471 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: know that Nathan will be doing his homework and it 472 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: will come up with a player to find Res Welsh out. 473 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 3: On the flip side, if you go back to the 474 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: twenty three Grand Final, there's one guy that's calls Nathan heartache. Defensively, 475 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 3: it's speed footwork of someone like Ree Walsh. So if 476 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 3: he gets the ball a couple of passes wide like 477 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: he's been doing, I think Rees Walsh could carve up 478 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 3: the Penrith Panthers. So on the flip side, I think 479 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 3: it's a game of chess. Reese needs to be in 480 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 3: every position on the fifth play, and if I'm Ivan 481 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: and Nathan, I'm going to try and wedge outside in 482 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: and do not let the ball get to Reese Walsh. 483 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: They played a magic ground. Penrith won comfortably and in 484 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: that game, Nathan played gun barrel straight and they attacked 485 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: the right hand defense of the Broncos and they just 486 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: kept peeling them short all the time. That's where they'll 487 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: go again. 488 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: And on the flip side, we saw what Preston did yesterday. 489 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: Adam Reynolds will be back in that right side of Reynolds. 490 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 3: Jordan Ricky Catoni stags with the threat of Ree Swalsh 491 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: out the back. If Casey McLean was worried about Connor Tracy, 492 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, he's going to be super worried 493 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: about Rees Walch. So I think if the Broncos win 494 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 3: this game, they're going to be targeting the left edge 495 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 3: of Penrith and Adam Reynolds needs to get Reese Walsh 496 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: the ball in the best possible position because you don't 497 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: get too many chances against Penrith. They're a great defensive team. 498 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: But if there is an error, if there is a penalty, 499 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 3: if there is a repeat set, Adam Reynolds needs to 500 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 3: strike and Res Welsh needs a big guy that delivers 501 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: it too. 502 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: Madge deserves a lot of a lot of credit I 503 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: can see just the way he's adjusted some of his 504 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: coaching philosophies in the way they attack. Like I always 505 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: say to people, there is a difference between Queensland football 506 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: and the way we play down here. There's just a 507 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: few different things. And I think the DNA of the 508 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: Broncos is like it's attacking, fulfilled ball movement, and Madge, 509 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: like historically he has always been a coach, is very 510 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: much about exits and those But I can see in 511 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: the back half of this year he's just relaxed the attack. 512 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 2: Adam Reynolds comes straight back in for you. Yeah, Azra man, 513 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: what are you doing? 514 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: Fourteen? Yeah? I play. I played fourteen because I think 515 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: the combination of Ezra and Rhys Walsh is it could 516 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: be dynamite. He could win this game. Just keep Ezra 517 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: out of the early exchanges. 518 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 3: One percent. I agree Ben Hunt starts at six. Corey 519 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 3: Paks will probably start at nine. When he gets tied 520 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: after maybe thirty minutes, even if it's fifty five minutes, 521 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 3: Hunt into dummy half, bring Ezra on and run the ball. 522 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: Don't even look to pass the ball, run the ball. 523 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: I think if he starts at five, I saw what 524 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: he did that ten minute period in the Grand Final. 525 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: I think he needs to be fresh. And if there's 526 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 3: one thing that worries penis defensive line, it's speed, footwork 527 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 3: and athleticism. Reese Walsh is going to be targeted. And 528 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: if it comes down to a sunny afternoon at sun 529 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 3: Court and Reese Walsh is being covered, bring Ezra Meymon 530 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: and say run. 531 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: The ball out of the who wins Coops? I'm going 532 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: Penrith from the moment they established themselves in the eight 533 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: this is the team. 534 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 3: So I could mount a case for both teams here, 535 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 3: I really could. I like seeing great teams become greater, 536 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: so I really want to see Penrith go on and 537 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: I would love that right. But there is something that 538 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: tells me Brisbane get this done. 539 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. 540 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: Maybe Brisbane just have Penrith have a flat spot when 541 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 3: they just didn't want it. I think Sunday afternoon. This 542 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: could be anything. It might be longer than eighty minutes. 543 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: Prisoner went by Ceps
