Steven Crichton, the captain the Iceman. 120 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: He nailed it when it mattered the most. 121 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 6: I spoke to the chairman, Adam Drussy about him this 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 6: week and he said he'll go down as one of 123 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 6: our greatest signings. It's not our greatest sign ever. I mean, 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 6: Terry Lamb's obviously that guy right now, but he can 125 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 6: see him one day being on the podium with Terry Lamb. Okay, 126 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 6: today was another example of why he's got that faith 127 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 6: in Steve Crichton, and he is. You know, it wasn't 128 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 6: just the field goal, it was the try set up 129 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 6: for Jacob Karraz, just a moment of genius. He's an 130 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 6: unbelievable football opera and a leader, unbelievable leader for this 131 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 6: football club. 132 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, when you look at both sides, they both really 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 5: struggle to own the moment. And you look at the 134 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 5: Dragons and you look at the Bulldogs and it came 135 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 5: down to the best player in the park to do so. 136 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: The best player on the park, Stephen Crichton, set up 137 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 5: that try out out of nothing. His ability to catch 138 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: them past at traffic is ridiculous, like that's on an 139 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 5: elite level. 140 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: And his deception, great deception. He deceives the opposition with his. 141 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: Eyes, he looks at one player to get his attention 142 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: to then drawing the other player in that feet pass. 143 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean, not many players can do that, but he's 144 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: a special player. 145 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 4: As an old fashioned dog fight, pardon a pun, and 146 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 4: they won. I think the Dragons tried to spoil them, 147 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: drag him down to their level, and the Dogs they 148 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: probably made it tough, and I don't think either side 149 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: really hit their straps and. 150 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: They got a lot to work on. 151 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, breath, can someone 152 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: set up the kicker field gual like I'm sitting in 153 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: the stands like watching it going? Okay, twenty years ago 154 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 4: we used to do field goal practice and it's not 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: the kicking because you miss them, but it's actually even 156 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: a setup to get in the right spots and have 157 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: another option. 158 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: I think they failed a bit. 159 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: While he may to dive into that because the Bulldogs 160 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: big win Round one, so happy for them. 161 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: I was cheering them on.

I thought, 162 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: like Galvin had a really. 163 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: Good first half, lost his way a little bit in 164 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: the second and a halfs you know, on both teams, 165 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: you know, they didn't play out of this world, did they? 166 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: But I couldn't comprehend when there was three and a 167 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: half minutes to go and it was what was a 168 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: twelve alls and Matt Burton and Lachlin Galvin did not 169 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: even set up for a field goal. 170 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: Now you talk about it, Gordy. 171 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: Back in our day, which isn't that long ago, who 172 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: in their right mind in that situations as genuine six 173 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: and seven would not position themselves for a field goal. 174 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. 175 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 4: Not only that, right, So I've been watching the Bulldog 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: social media. They're happy to post Burton kick at sixty 177 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 4: he gets a penalley fifty out, fifty one meters out. 178 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: He's got that range, I know. And even the fieldal 179 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: he went for he was flat the last one he took. Again, 180 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: everyone talks about how he can play in the NFL. 181 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 5: And oh yeah, I know you guys are being critical. 182 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 5: But that last set up, that was tactical, right, The 183 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 5: attention was there, but thinking all the attention was going 184 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 5: to Matt Burton, right, I don't think anyone thought that's. 185 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: Later? 186 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 2: No, No, I know, I noticed, Well, why wouldn't you 187 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: set that up fifteen minutes ol, Well that's. 188 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 5: On the halves, right, and that's hundred percent. It's on 189 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: the halves there, but you look at on the flip 190 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: side as well, the Dragons had enough opportunities to win 191 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 5: the game as. 192 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 9: Well, and you look at it. 193 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: There was a moment just behind us where they got 194 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: lost right at the end there and they actually lost 195 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 5: ten meters and it looked like Damian Cook either wasn't 196 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 5: clear in what the hearves were calling, but they just 197 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 5: got frantic and Valentine Holmes, you had a hamstring injury 198 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 5: coming into this game. Sprayed won late and that probably 199 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 5: is the pivotal moment for the Dragons where they look 200 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 5: back on and gone, that's where they should have won 201 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 5: the game. 202 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 6: Break this the issue we talked about a week right, 203 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 6: Bulldogs halves and the Dragon's house, but the Bulldogs extent. 204 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: Are you sold on both halves? 205 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 6: No, I'm not sold, and I wasn't sold before this. 206 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 6: I said I thought Galvin would get there, and I 207 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 6: thought his first half was really good today and I 208 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 6: still think he'll get there. But tonight you would say 209 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 6: the jury is still out. 210 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: Nice moments, but no, no, no, that's the problems connection 211 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 4: with list. 212 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 6: But it does a minute cardy that's the issue and you. 213 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: Know what, and I can't argue with that, but if 214 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: I'm playing with Braith, the connection that we get and 215 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: for him to trust me out here in the heat 216 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 4: of the battle. So Jacob Preston probably could have got 217 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: a double to night, but one didn't. So I'm not 218 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But 219 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: they didn't look like both of those teams. 220 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 6: Cause I'm just saying from it's the jurious man right. 221 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: Off another club. If you want. 222 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 6: The dogs man, I just got back in with war. 223 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 2: I think it's just tweaks because and I said it 224 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: during the coverage, like he played a lot square. 225 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: He looks fit, He looked really good. 226 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: That border Preston was magnificent and I thought he was 227 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: going to get better in the second half. 228 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: That the problem with with with him, he preempts his decisions. 229 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: I feel like he. 230 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: Knows what he's going to do and he can't change 231 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: on the run. So if he didk's going to pass. 232 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: He just passed, even if it's not the right option. 233 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: He's also got a really hard pass not it doesn't 234 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: necessarily have those soft hands. 235 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: All of these passes are quite you know, he sat skillful. 236 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 2: That just ay Zing right, and it's just little it's 237 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 2: just little things in his game that I think that 238 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: will take him to another level and get the Bulldogs 239 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: to another level. And again I thought he was really 240 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: good tonight. But you know, even Matt Burton though, you 241 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: know he's he's he should be standing up. He's an 242 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: experienced six. 243 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 9: Does he have that in his game? Brace? Honestly, you've 244 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 9: got no, No, you've got to have it. 245 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, But that's why we're debating, because you know, yeah, 246 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 2: it was a good win, but let's let's peel it 247 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: all back. 248 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: You know, the Dragons to me were nearly identical to 249 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: last year. 250 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: You know, they were tough, they were resilient that they 251 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: look gritty, they got under the skin of the Bulldogs, 252 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: they stayed in the contest and they got beat by 253 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: a point. You know, how many times did we see 254 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: this last year? And the Bulldogs that was similar. You know, 255 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: they were really good at times, look like they're gonna 256 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: run away with it, but they didn't, and they couldn't 257 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: put the icing on the cake. So if you know, 258 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: you kind of you get through around one and it's 259 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: a good win, but not much has change after the 260 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: Bulldogs win let's hear it from their cach. 261 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 12: Probably both teams deserve that, but yeah, credit to go 262 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 12: on my leftist. He's worked really hard for those moments 263 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 12: and it was really fitting for him to get it 264 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 12: on one of those big stages. 265 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: Today. 266 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 12: There's heaps of calls during the game that go either way. 267 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: We're that high up. 268 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 12: I don't know if you know where we sit, but 269 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 12: they look like ants on the field, So I don't 270 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 12: have a great view of it, to be honest. Oh, 271 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 12: very proud said all preseason. His best ability at the 272 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 12: moment is his ability to learn. He's a twenty year 273 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 12: old halfback and he's learning really quickly. If you think 274 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 12: about all the really good halfbacks and what they were 275 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 12: like at twenty, he's tracking in a great direction. 276 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: All right. 277 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so nice win from the Bulldogs, But where does 278 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: that place them moving forward this year? You know, we've 279 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: spoken about how they play tonight. 280 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: Thoughts on how they go after. 281 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 6: This, Well, I'm not concerned about them. 282 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 3: Break. 283 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 6: They won a tight football game against the side. It 284 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 6: was really resilient and had a point to prove because 285 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 6: everyone wrote them off, and I think they played like 286 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 6: a team that have been written off, right, So I'm 287 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 6: not overly concerned. They need to get better, the dogs, 288 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 6: and they will get better. It's round one, right, so 289 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 6: you know that Galvin Burton combo will get better. I 290 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 6: think they'll get you know, I think they'll be there 291 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 6: when the whips are cracky. I'm not too concerned about them. 292 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 5: I'm a little bit concerned just what will Brace said 293 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 5: because at the back end of last year it was, 294 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 5: as Braith indicated, it's a copy and paste for their 295 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 5: back end of last year. So that's why I'm a 296 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 5: little bit concerned, because you know, you could understand last 297 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 5: year that the Galvin and Burden combination was a bit 298 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 5: frantic because of the lack of time they've had. 299 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: But again, and I think, did we see and I 300 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: know how we're going back there a bit here, did 301 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: we see any evolution in that combination tonight? 302 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 5: Not enough last year, not enough, not enough off the 303 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 5: back of the full preseason together. And that's my concern. 304 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 5: And Lucky Galvin I thought was the best player on 305 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 5: the park in the opening forty minutes. 306 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 9: I thought he was exceptional, right, But again. 307 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: Evolution Mick individually, he evolved and I thought he was 308 00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: really good. 309 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: But that's but they were clunky, so like and normally, 310 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 4: normally if you build a combination, right like Brethon and 311 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 4: you know all about this, and I'm talking about it's good. 312 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 4: But the guys and the combination I went away and 313 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 4: then and in four weeks, the Auzer guys have to 314 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 4: build a combination. 315 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: I didn't play with each other all the time. 316 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 4: So if they've had three months to build a combination, 317 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: it's got to look a little bit cleaner than the 318 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 4: clean For. 319 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: Me, the top liners in our game teams, when the 320 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: game's on the line, who are you looking at? 321 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: And who do you want you to leave? Since your 322 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: seven and six? 323 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: And if you look at tonight, I think on both sides, 324 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: it was the best player in the field who plays center. 325 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 12: It was. 326 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 6: It was actually made for Galvin to step up, step 327 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 6: up that field gold tonight because it would have been 328 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 6: the fairy tale, right, It would have been the perfect 329 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 6: exclamation point on this week. 330 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: So all right, let's turn and talk about the dragons. Now. 331 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: The dragons, no one gave them a hope and Shane 332 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: Funnigan and his coaching staff did a good job because 333 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: they really, I mean, after that trial against our city 334 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: and so called reserve graders and all that. But we 335 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: kind of had a feeling though they were going to 336 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: come to play tonight and they're going to be a 337 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: hell of a lot more competitive than that suggested. 338 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: And they were. 339 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, they certainly were. The message all week was to 340 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 5: scrap right, to be in the fight, play conservative footage right. 341 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 5: They weren't going to chance their hand too hard, particularly early, 342 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 5: and to turn up for one another. And I think 343 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: they did that defensively because every time the Bulldogs got 344 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 5: the ball in that first half, they look like making 345 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 5: a break, but they really did. Their ability to swing 346 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: the ball from either side of the field at speed 347 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 5: looked really impressive. But the Dragon just scrambled and scrambled 348 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 5: and really really defended well. But the concern, and this 349 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 5: is the same thing for the Dragons, the concern is 350 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 5: they're lacking X factors. They're lacking a tight game that 351 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 5: we just saw. Who's the Stephen Kricht and they can 352 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 5: turn the game for them. 353 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 6: We were sitting here picking apart the Bulldogs halves. You 354 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 6: look at the Dragon, you line those two hours up tonight. 355 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: I'd take Galvin and Burton every day o the week 356 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 6: and twice on Sunday. Yeah, because Flanagan and Kyle and 357 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 6: Daniel Lackinton. Look, they had to go and they defended 358 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 6: really strongly, but they did not for much in it. 359 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 6: They're not of friend of the attack in. 360 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: A due respect. I barely noticed they'd be an attack 361 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: at all. 362 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 6: It's early, right, so they've got the ability to get better. 363 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 6: But if you say to me those two sets of halves, 364 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 6: which one did you walk with more optimism about? It's 365 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 6: the ball doll. 366 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: Going on with you? 367 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: All right? Let's hear from the Dragons coach after the game. 368 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 13: It's a tricky one because I think that the ros 369 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 13: now standing job the week's just been fantastic, every promotion 370 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 13: we've had to do, the Fremont Street and everything, and 371 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 13: then the game gets decided like that. It's loose carry 372 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 13: me every second, every day of the week, without a doubt. 373 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: So there's that. 374 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 13: There's a lot of others as well. 375 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 6: So we didn't get the. 376 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 13: Rubber of the green, that's for sure, and as I said, 377 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 13: just disappointing, but it wasn't decided in. 378 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 8: My view. 379 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: The right way. 380 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, tough loss for the Dragons, showing funny and Any's 381 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: men just going down an extra time. Okay, it's March one, right, 382 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: but let's we're looking at the dragons. Now, where are 383 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 2: they going to be in September? 384 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 6: Can I just saycretly? They didn't have much luck to 385 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 6: not other break a couple of calls went, didn't get 386 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 6: didn't let's go there, let's go there. 387 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: Now. 388 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: Did you think that was because we haven't touched on that? 389 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 2: Did you think that was a strip or a loose carry? 390 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: That last which was pivotal in their loss. 391 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 6: I didn't think he played the ball intention. I thought 392 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: it was in the in the in the process of 393 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 6: making the tackle. So I thought it was a really 394 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 6: tough call. 395 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 3: Car carrying my era. 396 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 6: I'm actually agree even the Crichton simb and that was 397 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 6: a fifty to fifty call as well. For the I mean, 398 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 6: I didn't think it was a symbol, but Mick and 399 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 6: I argued about it. Mick thought it was so. But 400 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 6: there's plenty of you didn't watch you thought it was. 401 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 8: Did you? 402 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: I did? Yeah? 403 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 5: I thought, well, we saw braidon Burns earlier get SimBin 404 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 5: for high ish tackle on Klamponger, but probably because he 405 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 5: rushed out of line and lost control defensively, right, But 406 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 5: I thought the impact of Stephen Crichton's was way worse 407 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 5: than Braiden. 408 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 3: Burn lays down to the player, lays down. 409 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: All four of them, right, Like, if we had to 410 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: make a call and now we'd agree that the Dragons 411 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 2: were hard done by with that call? 412 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 3: Was that fair? 413 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: That was beg Let's get back to it the dragons 414 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: after this? Where they going to be in September? And 415 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: what do we think for the rest of the year. 416 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 6: They'll be on holidays in September. B I don't know 417 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 6: where they'll be, Like you boys don't be holidays. And 418 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 6: nothing I saw tonight has changed my opinion. 419 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 9: You know what they look. 420 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 6: They didn't look like the side the would come last 421 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 6: because they win games to the deep the way if 422 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 6: they defend like that, they'll win games. 423 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 9: They change your mind? 424 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 6: Then, well not on finals. They haven't changed on one. 425 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 6: They've changed one. No, well, okay, maybe I'm finishing last. 426 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 6: Maybe they have you a right. Haven't changed on more 427 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 6: than playing finals? That hasn't changed. 428 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 5: No, No, I don't think they can play finals at all. 429 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: I just I just think that the fact that I 430 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 5: was surprised by their I know they showed it at 431 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 5: times last year, but they couldn't sustain it for as 432 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 5: long as periods of what we saw tonight. So I 433 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: think their great was really, really good. But it's again, 434 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 5: and I'll keep banging on about it. They don't have 435 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 5: a player that could turn the game when a game's 436 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 5: in the balance, I can't see how they win it 437 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 5: because they don't have any X factors that's. 438 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: The most influential. 439 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 9: He's not fast enough. 440 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is we may not be fast enough, 441 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: but that that battle or he comes up with special cookie, 442 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: come up with a couple, but he comes up with 443 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 2: those play he's kind of their X factor and agree 444 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: with you if he's your X factor and he's the 445 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: guy that you rely on, and he's a great player, 446 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 2: but he's not at the level of a Crichton Reese 447 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: Welsh List. 448 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: Goes on great right to play the way the Dragons 449 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 4: did tonight, it takes a lot of energy, and it's 450 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 4: a lot of mental energy to get up because that's 451 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 4: an effort, that's an attitude that you've got to pack. 452 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 4: If you don't start getting wins with that, it can 453 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 4: drain you really quick. So can they do that for 454 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 4: a month, ten weeks, absolutely, But if they don't get 455 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 4: w's and start seeing results, that. 456 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 6: If it stops. 457 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 2: Right, Let's get to the other game, which of course 458 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: was the Knights beating the Cowboys. 459 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: This game. 460 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: Now, the Knights, they look really good at times. I've 461 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 2: been really good to start the game. They come out 462 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: of the blocks fast. 463 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: Caleb Pong, well, he was here to play. He did 464 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: predict that he was going to have a big year, 465 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: which is not rocket science, but he was. 466 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: The highest made by here in the game. He's going 467 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: to have a good year. Guys. 468 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: He was very good, right he came to play. You 469 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: could see the emotion after the game. 470 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 6: He was unbelievable. After the game. I don't think I've 471 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 6: ever seen him celebrated winner, even origin. I don't think 472 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 6: you've ever seen celebrated win maybe, but celebrated winners as 473 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 6: hard as he did tonight. I mean he was pumped. 474 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: He was so it meant that meant locked him tonight. 475 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 9: Yeah. 476 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 5: Well, the way the Knights played that first half, and 477 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 5: the concerns were because after like Jacobs eifed, I thought 478 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 5: was enormous in that opening, stint right and Trey Mooney 479 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 5: did a good job. But they lost that punch off 480 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 5: the bench and that's where the Cowboys really changed that momentum. 481 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 5: Other Griffin Nein did a really good job coming onto 482 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 5: the field for him, and. 483 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: They scored dynamite, right, that's not when he combined. When 484 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 2: it was Sharp, Brown and Ponger, they looked the best 485 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: they'd look for years out of the sites that come ei. 486 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 2: Therefore they looked the best they did. The Knights looked 487 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: the best, and not on paper. 488 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: But if you got Sharp and you got Brown and 489 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 4: you've got calm Ponger running the foot and they're offloads, 490 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: they look fit, they look fast, and it. 491 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: Was the old notes. 492 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to bredige you like they 493 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 4: did in the eighties and nineties, but they won. 494 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 2: They showed great resilience because they you know, they looked 495 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: a bit dicey there when went off and he should 496 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: have went off before they they can see that right anyway, 497 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: let's hear from their coach after the wind. 498 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, really happy to get the wind. 499 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: That's obviously whatever one wants to do. 500 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 14: You know. I was a huge event, big weeks preparation, 501 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 14: a lot of people paying their hard earned it. I'm 502 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 14: over and watches from Newcastle so as a coach or 503 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 14: as players, Yeah, we're thrilled to get the win. 504 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, not sure. 505 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 14: He'll have to get some skins, but we don't think 506 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 14: it's anything too serious. So hopefully he'll be fine, but 507 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 14: we won't know just yet. 508 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 2: But okay, let's dive into the North Queensland Cowboys. 509 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: Who look good at times and they're not so good 510 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: at others. 511 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: That we spoke to Todd Peyton only last night Gordy 512 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 2: about their defense and how much they need to improve 513 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: that and also their attack and any control on the footing. 514 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: How did you see them tonight there before? 515 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 4: I think they'll be happy with their effort in defense 516 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 4: structurally and they like they did get caught out. I 517 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: thought their attack was really poor at times today looked 518 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 4: really clunky. Did and was going they looked like you know, 519 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 4: just even like you know when they're going wide. They 520 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 4: just went on the right route like running. So so 521 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 4: it's like that worked really hard on their defense and 522 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 4: I thought they were better defensively. 523 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: Didn't play square. 524 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: Sways, they didn't earn the right, they didn't earn the right. 525 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 3: They went well. But I had a great start of 526 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: the game right here. 527 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 4: He carried the ball well, Codter tried hard, didn't diedon 528 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 4: was everywhere, but I just thought and drink Water hurting 529 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: himself like he tried to tackle Dom Yummy. 530 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: You know. 531 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 4: I heard his Ridge ribs come back on, so there 532 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 4: was a bit of a shuffle, but they just looked cunky. 533 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: I thought that. 534 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 5: I thought that poor coming into a season knowing that 535 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 5: their coaches under significant pressure, and they put out that 536 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 5: in the opening game, and I think it was the 537 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 5: big ones that let him down. Drink Water didn't Ribbon Cotter, yeah, barely, right. 538 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 5: I thought the best matchup was Jackson Purdue up against 539 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 5: Dang Gagler. I thought that was a standing matchup. And 540 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 5: as I said before, I thought Griffin Neem was probably 541 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 5: their best forward despite coming off the bench. 542 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: So I think they got some still inconsistency there around 543 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: Jay Clifford too. I mean, he came up with a 544 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 2: nice little kick and a good player, but he had 545 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: a few errors in him and took the wrong option 546 00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: at the wrong time. 547 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 5: You look at their start to the game and they 548 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 5: start to the second half, they just missed the jump 549 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 5: on both occasions. 550 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: Right. 551 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 5: They did well to pegg it back in that first half, 552 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: but that starts the game, and then they start to 553 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 5: the second half when they had some momentum going into 554 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: the halftime break I thought was really really poor. 555 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 4: They wouldn't go back to it, right, So heelim Luky 556 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 4: hits a great short pool, he goes through and I 557 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 4: know Sharp was injured and you watch Sam mcintore over 558 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 4: here with the flick part. 559 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: So the back rolls were actually doing good. But then 560 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: but they didn't go back to it. They didn't and 561 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: I'm like it worked. 562 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 6: I'm really worried if from a Cowboys fan, you, as 563 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 6: Mick said, your coaches under pressure, you need to win 564 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 6: football games, and you turn up and play like that. 565 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: You said their attitude was better. Well, defensively, no one. 566 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 6: Here has got the Newcastle in the top eight, Cordy, 567 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 6: and you know behind blink of an eye and really much. 568 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: Wrong with man, what did you have? 569 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: You're making a lot of sense and even had to 570 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: put the top eight out yet, So how do you 571 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: know I don't have today? I probably don't. You can 572 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: tell us now after tonight. It depends on Fletcher Sharp. 573 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: They are much more counselings. 574 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: Actually, they're a much better chance. 575 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 6: If I'm a Cowboys fan, and if I'm Todd Payton, 576 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 6: I'd be worried right now. 577 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was worried before this year, if you. 578 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: But unfortunately for him, he's got a big job ahead 579 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: of him and he's really positive on the show. 580 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: So I think they could turn things around now to 581 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: superw Oh my god, what a disaster that was for 582 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: whole KR. But Leeds, what a performance it was by 583 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: There was a fifty eight. 584 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: I stopped counting, basically closed my eyes for the last 585 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: half an hour. 586 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: Fifty eight to six and the. 587 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 4: Years out of the balloom eight Yeah, yeah, you know, 588 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 4: four trophies and you know what it would have been hard, 589 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 4: right and then asking you know the whole people around 590 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 4: that they come here and I'll back to business. 591 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 3: They needed to celebrate. 592 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: They like they are the world champions, They've won four trophies. 593 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: What are you, Maddi? John's reckons at that. 594 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: In fifty years time, they'll still be talking about the 595 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 4: season that Willie Peters and the whole KR side has 596 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: had the need concerned. 597 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: And we said it all week, it was always going 598 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: to be concerned. They had so many games, big games, 599 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: big moments they had, they got beat they shouldn't have 600 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: got beat even before they won the World Cup Challenge 601 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: against the Broncos. They got up and beat the Broncos 602 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: and they've got to try and get back up to 603 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 2: come to Vegas and playing this, so you know, there's 604 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: no excuse for their performance. 605 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 12: It was. 606 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 3: If you tell me today that that side beat the Bronco. 607 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: Straight that bad, it's not going to happen again. It 608 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: was just in my opinion, it was just. 609 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: But Leeds were fantastic. 610 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: Let's talk about leads because they were bred. Arthur had 611 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: him firing. I mean, they looked sharp. 612 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 4: They started started a chance and Brodie Croft I send 613 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 4: it with Cooper Croft like Nathan Cleary.
