1 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: Well the two three sixty rugby league from every angle 2 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: joining me again, the great, great and tallasspring. The journal 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: is in Paul Crawley and Andrew Webster and great news 4 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: for the Queensland Maroons. Cameron Munster has made it back 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: into camp for the Captain's run and Gordy, you know, 6 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: inspiration really be great to see. 7 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great news. 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: Obviously you didn't know how the week was going to 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: pat it out, but he looked to be bouncing around 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 3: and he's over yourself walked around and that's really good signs. 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 4: If you're a Queensland f I don't think there'd be 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 4: a person in the game not feeling for Cameron Munster 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 4: write now, you know, such a sad situation ahead of 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 4: one of the biggest moments of his life. 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 5: But good on him for coming back and being part 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 5: of it. 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 6: It just shows you what a special player is that 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 6: he's been able to even say to Billy Slater straight 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 6: away on Sunday, I'll be playing there. You know, that 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 6: just shows what a competitor is. I'm just I can't 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 6: get there's nothing to compare it to. You know, I 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 6: talked to like a lot of historians across the game today. 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 6: And you know, I think back to I think back 24 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 6: to when Robbie Farre's mum died and like it just 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 6: before that game at Art and Robbie didn't play and 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 6: it affected the team. I think of Michael Maguire's mum 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 6: dying the day before the fourteen Grand Final when he 28 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 6: was coaching Sounds. But nothing like that is not not 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 6: in origin at least, and not not a game of 30 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 6: this importance. 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 7: So it's all the best for him, Monthly. 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: Nice. 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Sorry, it was really nice too, Gordy. I saw his 34 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: mum and wife Bianka and the kids. They must have traveled. 35 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: They did, They traveled back down with him from rock 36 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: Hampton and we're there for the captain's run, which was 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: a good touch too. 38 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's, you know, the most important time of the years. 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: They have your family with you and you couldn't imagine 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: his mindset going into this. And I said the other 41 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: day that if he doesn't play, Queensland would obviously stand 42 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: behind him because family comes first. But they've chosen as 43 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: a family for here to go represent his dad and 44 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll do that tomorrow night. 45 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's cross live now to Blues camp wear 46 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: he South Wales team manager Frank Pernice he joins us 47 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: on the Goo True Blue Mike, Frank, thanks for joining us. 48 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: Good news for the Maroons with Cameron Munster back in camp, 49 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: and it must have been a bit tough for you 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: and Craig being so close to Cameron, but being in 51 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: the new South Wales camp. Why Kevin was going through 52 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: what he did this week? 53 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you Brath. 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: It was. 55 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 8: It certainly was. I'm not going to why it wasn't 56 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 8: Sunday morning. It was a tough phone call when Billy 57 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 8: called me. Craig was actually on a flight back from 58 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 8: Townsville after the Storm game, so you know he landed 59 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 8: and got the news there, and you know, obviously we 60 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 8: feel for Cameron. But Cameron's father, Stephen and mum Deborah, 61 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 8: they've been really big parts of the Storm for the 62 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 8: last eleven years. Cameron came as a nineteen year old 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 8: and his parents have been wonderful supporters of his journey. 64 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 8: They spent a fair bit of time in Melbourne for 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 8: big games and milestones and parents weekend. So Stephen was 66 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 8: a real character and to get that new Sunday morning 67 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 8: was devastating. 68 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Frank, I know he really loves you guys in Melbourne. 69 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: The support that you've given him and his family over 70 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: the years has been amazing, so thank you for that. 71 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Now New soth Wales, is he going to be one 72 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: to seventeenth tomorrow night? 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 8: We ared Braith. Yeah, that everyone got through. Obviously the 74 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 8: big injury clouds over the last ten days or so 75 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 8: it has been paynehas and Brian Tohu. Internally, we've handled 76 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 8: it really well. We knew from the start they were 77 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 8: going to be in some doubt and more importantly, we 78 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 8: knew that their preparation was going to be restricted, and 79 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 8: that's why we selected the team that we did. Jacob 80 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 8: Kiraz was selected as eighteenth, which probably shocked a few 81 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 8: people picking Wingers your eighteenth, but he was in there 82 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 8: for Brian, so he covered all the trainings that Brian 83 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 8: couldn't do so and the players knew that if Brian 84 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 8: was going to be unavailable, it was just going to 85 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 8: be a smooth transition to Jacob and the same with Paine. 86 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 8: We knew that he was in some doubt as well 87 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 8: and he was going to certainly be restricted with his 88 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 8: training and that's why we picked Lindsay Smith. You know 89 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 8: he deserves it for a start, but also picking a 90 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 8: player from a team that had the buy so we're 91 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 8: going to have him for the whole week. So from 92 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 8: our point of view, I know there's been a lot 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 8: of noise outside about the injuries, but it's been really 94 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 8: smooth and we've been certainly unflustered in that area. 95 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: I frank as scoredy, there's one thing that I was 96 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: jealous about the new South Wales. I do that big 97 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: long walk of walk of fame walking onto the ground. 98 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: You guys aren't going to do it. Is there a 99 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: reason for that? 100 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 9: Yeah? 101 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 8: God, we probably had made that decision twelve months ago 102 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 8: after that first game that we lost, and it was 103 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 8: we just and we did it with consultation, without the 104 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 8: leaders most importantly, and that they were quite keen as 105 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 8: great it is the walk and running out, but their 106 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 8: preparation before the game was critical and getting dressed a 107 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 8: fair way away from the ground and they just wanted 108 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 8: a normality as much as if possible, And you know 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 8: they're still going to get a normighty raw coming out 110 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 8: the other tunnel. And as especial, we walked there to 111 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 8: training last night, so we experienced that, but obviously without 112 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 8: the rule of running out. We just think for preparation 113 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 8: and in consultation with the players, based on what we 114 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 8: reviewed twelve months ago, we decided that's the best thing 115 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 8: Tomorrow night. 116 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 7: Frank Andrew Webster here, mate, what are you expecting from. 117 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 6: Ashley Klein in the Origin Decider tomorrow night? 118 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 8: We just got to worry about ourselves. We can't worry 119 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 8: about Ashley Klein or the officials. You know, game two. 120 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 8: We'll learn from our mistakes, and we didn't handle. Yes, 121 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 8: we've probably got one or two bad calls that every 122 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 8: team does every weekend, and I'm sure there was probably 123 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 8: a couple of queens thin could have got as well. 124 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 8: But we got flustered. We spoke about before about being unflustered. 125 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 8: We just got to worry about our game and being disciplined. 126 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 8: And you know, there are a lot of penalties that 127 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 8: we shouldn't have have done, and we're going to be 128 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 8: certainly more disciplined in that area. So our major focus 129 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 8: is on ourselves. 130 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: Frank Paul Crawley here on that note, looking back in hindsight, 131 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: the start of that game, after such a dominant game one, 132 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 4: to start the game that way with the lack of 133 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: discipline and the lack of cohesion. 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: In hindsight, could you see it coming. 135 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Now? 136 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 8: We probably didn't play scoring early. He probably didn't help us, 137 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 8: and I know that sounds quite bizarre, but we probably 138 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 8: lost a bit of focus and we didn't handle the 139 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 8: conditions well. That was incredibly wet over there, and we 140 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 8: probably started pushing passes and making things happen. You know, 141 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 8: getting that early try probably gave us a full sense 142 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 8: of security. So then we just became unflustered and you know, 143 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 8: our discipline suffered as a result. So you know, we 144 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 8: looked at that very early in the in the last 145 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 8: week for the start of camp three. You know, we 146 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 8: looked at where we went wrong, but we also looked 147 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 8: at the positives and when we got back to just 148 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 8: playing the game plan and being more focused and more 149 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 8: discipline in the second half, we saw what we can do. 150 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 8: So you know, that's that's the the blueprint was in 151 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 8: the second half and that's certainly going to be given 152 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 8: us a confidence and what we need to do tomorrow night. 153 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Frank Nathan Cleary, some say it's the final frontier for him, 154 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: and also how's his body, how's his preparation. Beranie was 155 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: definitely impacted in Game two by it and hampered. How 156 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: is he prepared for this one? 157 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 8: Been fantastic, Braith, He really has. He's the ultimate professional, 158 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 8: as we all know. That's probably being involved with him 159 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 8: this year. He wasn't involved in the series last year. 160 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 8: But you know, I was just talking to Craig Belly 161 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 8: me this afternoon. Just his professional is and the way 162 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 8: he prepares is just second to none. He's far more 163 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 8: relaxed this game. Obviously having that injury the day before 164 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 8: the game in Game two didn't help. He won't be 165 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 8: doing the goalkicking tomorrow night, but everything else in terms 166 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 8: of kicking, he'll be the main kicker along with Jerome 167 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 8: Lewie and anyone else. But he's had a great preparation. 168 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 8: He hasn't missed any training. As I said, he's felt 169 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 8: very relaxed. He looks confident and I think he's in 170 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 8: for a really big game tomorrow night. 171 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: Beautiful good to hear. 172 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Does that mean Zach Lomax will be doing the goalkeeping. 173 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 5: More than likely? 174 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: Braith? 175 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 8: He obviously had some tough kicks over there in Perth. 176 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 8: You know the couple hit the post as I said 177 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 8: the conditions were pretty ordinary. He did a great job 178 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 8: last year for us Zach goal kicking. You know, a 179 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 8: couple of games there that you know, especially that last 180 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 8: game he had a real pressure kick to make it 181 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 8: too all, you know, from the sideline on his wrong 182 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 8: side and we can see you. Even after Perth game 183 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 8: he came back to paramatter and he kicked well straight away. 184 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 8: So he's been kicking well at training and we have 185 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 8: full confidence in him. 186 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: Frank Laurie seemed to be really confident through the week 187 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: every time he got interviewed. What's been the message slash 188 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: theme for Towyn Knight's decider. 189 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, Gordy, I think is our mindset in terms of 190 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 8: probably starting our training as well, so that transfers on 191 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 8: to the end of the game. We you know, as 192 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 8: Paul mentioned before, even though we scored the first try, 193 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 8: we didn't start well in Perth and there's been a 194 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 8: major focus all week on doing everything well from the start, 195 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 8: so he's been really focusing on that. But you know, 196 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 8: he's a relaxed character, but when he speaks about the 197 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 8: game and getting close to the game, you can see 198 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 8: the passion and his experience coming through and you know, 199 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 8: we're very lucky to have someone of laurie'sill as our leader. 200 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 8: You know, the boys respect him. He's got a wonderful 201 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 8: group of coaches behind him, and he's got Craig advising him, 202 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 8: so you know, he's just been wonderful to work with. 203 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 6: Frank, I wanted to ask you about that. I spoke 204 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 6: to Billy earlier in the week. He reckons he's got 205 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 6: had a tiny little role to do with this new 206 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 6: South Wales team. 207 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 7: Are you buying that? Is that true? Is he is? 208 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 6: How hands on is Craig Bellamy with the preparation for 209 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 6: this team? 210 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, Web, it's a great question in terms of I 211 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 8: was a little bit unsure myself how what craze roll 212 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 8: will billion and he was the same, to be honest, 213 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 8: and it's evolved as this series gone on. He's he 214 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 8: does a lot more than he makes out, but that's 215 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 8: just Craig just you know, keeping everything. 216 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: On the low. 217 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 8: He's you know, he'll come Lauria will ask him to 218 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 8: speak to the players as a team at times, he'll 219 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 8: also speak to players individually, and he does a lot 220 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 8: of work with the coaches themselves, you know, in the 221 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 8: background and the planning and giving some advice and he's 222 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 8: generally enjoyed the role, you know, and he's he's been 223 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 8: fantastic for the group. And it's probably I've seen him 224 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 8: in a different role than I usually see him day 225 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 8: to day down in Melbourne, but it's certainly one that 226 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 8: I think he's It's been a great asset to the team. 227 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: Seems to be nice and relaxed, which is good to 228 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: see with their head coach in the Melbourne Storm. Thank 229 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: you very much, Frank. We appreciate your time so close 230 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: to the game. You've given us a lot of confidence 231 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: behind the Blues and good luck tomorrow night. 232 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 5: Thanks Brath there. 233 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: Is Frank Ponisi and we'll check in with Nate Miles 234 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: in Queensland camp shortly, but let's continue our origin to 235 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: preview thanks to Ford and Crawls. You think the Blues 236 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: only have themselves to blame if they lose this well. 237 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: I asked Frank that question because I thought from the 238 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 4: start of the game in game two, you could see 239 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: that the Blues it went out there with the cockininess 240 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 4: about them. Their discipline was very poor. Despite all the 241 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: criticism of the eight mild penalty count and Nashally climb 242 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 4: being one sided, the Blues had themselves to blame and 243 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: we saw in the second half how they came back 244 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 4: and they put all those points on when they played 245 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 4: with discipline. So on paper they are clearly the best 246 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: team if you go through the two teams there and 247 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 4: you picked your best fullback, your best winger, is your 248 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 4: best centers. If we're being fired income New South Wales 249 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 4: take all those spots, they take the half back spot, 250 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: they take one of the props at least, they probably 251 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: take the back rowers, and they take the lock. There's 252 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: thirteen on paper. On paper, no, no, they are clearly 253 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: the better team. 254 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: If you're picking Australians to be dominated by in New 255 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: South Wales players with it. 256 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want you to say that. 257 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: No, it would, but you know what, it's. 258 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: Come on, you've got to admit on paper and New 259 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 3: South Wales, but it's not played on paper and that's 260 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: where we're lucky. 261 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 7: And Origin never has Origin never has, never has. 262 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 6: But that said, you know, I agree, cause I thought 263 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 6: it's smacked of complacency in the first half. 264 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 7: They're in per when into that game, but just don't. 265 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Give Queensland a really good guys they. 266 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 6: Were said, Well, I agree, I thought they were. They 267 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 6: were sensational and the way that they held on was sensational. 268 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 7: I think people aren't giving Queensland. 269 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 6: Enough credit for that victory, and I think they go 270 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: into the decided tomorrow with a lot more confidence than 271 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 6: people sort of should be giving them credit for. 272 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 7: Uh you South. 273 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 6: I was with the shortest price favorites in almost Origin 274 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 6: Benning history heading into game two there, just based on 275 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 6: that on that team, I think it says a lot 276 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 6: that regardless of what happens tomorrow night, each coach, Billy 277 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 6: Slater and Laurie Daily will get criticized or lauded for 278 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 6: their selections. Lauri for keeping the team, not make any changes, 279 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 6: not for bringing Colin and tongueing and and and Billy 280 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 6: has really thrown caution too, the win with the side 281 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: that he's he's picked and the changes that he's made, 282 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 6: and there is they're they're either going to both look 283 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 6: like or one's gonna look like a genius and one's 284 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 6: going to look like a dud. 285 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: Speculation and criticism comes with Origin, So I think I reckon. 286 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, So both just delivered most of it. 287 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 4: In fairness when we go and look at the selections. 288 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 4: Though Kalamtungi probably did himself no favors in that final 289 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: lead up game, he probably made the decision for Lorry. 290 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 4: So I think when Lorrie named this team, it's probably 291 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: what you expected. I think Billy has made some brave calls. 292 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 4: But before the game, I'll go out there and say 293 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 4: I think he's made the right call with Papa League. 294 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: I think he's a great decision and it could be 295 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 4: a massive motivation and potentially it could lead them to victory. 296 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Will mean a lot of people are split on this. 297 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: The Nathan Cleary Final Frontier winning an Origin decider as 298 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: the number seven for the Blues, which he hasn't done. 299 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that or not? 300 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 7: No, No, I don't. I don't think he's got anything 301 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 7: to prove. 302 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 6: But this game is in the final front He's twenty seven, 303 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 6: He's probably got another eight years of football left. 304 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: You know. 305 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: It's like it's. 306 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: Funny the narratives we spin in this game. I mean, 307 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 6: the guy's won three Origins, he's won a World car. 308 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 7: But I'll tell you what though, if he wants to like, 309 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 7: I still don't. 310 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 6: And this is the thing, the same questions are asked 311 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 6: about Joey's place in history around the same age as 312 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 6: Nathan is now, and I still think he's got a 313 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 6: way to go. I know he's won four comps and 314 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 6: I'm not knocking. 315 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 7: Him at all. 316 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm not bagging him. 317 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 6: He's a he's a he's a champion player and we 318 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 6: all know that. 319 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 7: But he's never won a dally M and he hasn't win. 320 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 6: If he wins an Origin Decider, it really buries the 321 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 6: the the argument in many ways. 322 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: But he's front. 323 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 7: Are trying to say, I'm saying Tomorrow night's his final 324 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 7: front here. I think, what if he's going to get to. 325 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: Rate that again? 326 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 4: So my reference there is that whether he's had great 327 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: Origin moments. But but as for owning the series, I 328 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 4: think we're yet to see that. And and while it's 329 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 4: not a criticism at Nathan at club level and in 330 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 4: Grand finals and games throughout the season, he has absolutely 331 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 4: dominated to prove himself as the game speed and this 332 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 4: is just the natural progression. 333 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 7: I just didn't have him as up there with Joey. 334 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 7: I don't. I don't have him up there with Joey 335 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 7: and Cameron. 336 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: You know either, But he's dominating Grand finals like he's 337 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: got at least he's the fall of Frontier. But it 338 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: would be good to tick it off now, you know, 339 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: and it would take him to another echelon in the league. 340 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: It sort of buries the argument if he would bury 341 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: the argument. I don't read it because you know, there's 342 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: so many good teams in players in his team. They 343 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: spread the points heret. 344 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: I think he's just been judged of this right. So 345 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: there's certain boxes you tick. 346 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: I remember Jonathan Thurston because he won that Grand Final 347 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 3: when he was really young. He had to go win 348 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: another comp because then he started dominating Oregon and then 349 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 3: they said, oh, but he hasn't won a competition. 350 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: As captain and he hasn't led. So there's always boxes. 351 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: That you've got to tick in memorable all with the 352 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: Andrew Johns and the Wally Lawses of the world. That's 353 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: the that's the shelf you sit on when there's certain 354 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: boxes that you have been. 355 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: You know what I've been at this level and alongside 356 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: these normals, he's not far away is. 357 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 6: The final front Let's sweach. 358 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 4: Not a criticism though, you know it's Nottism and there's 359 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 4: no question in the world for what he's achieved at 360 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 4: twenty seven years of age. 361 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 5: It's just astonishing. 362 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 4: Like Brace said, it's a chance to tick another box 363 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 4: and it is the final frontier. 364 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: Thanks right, let's switch to the Morions and camera monster. 365 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: It's been it's been a horrible week. You know, there's 366 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: no other way to put him. I suppose the challenge 367 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: for him in this game is to harness all that 368 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: emotion and put it into his performance. You know, it's 369 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's probably easier said than done, and I 370 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: think the reality is it's going to be a challenge 371 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: for him. If anyone can do it, it's Cameron. I 372 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: think we all agree on that, especially for Queensland and 373 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: especially the reasons he's playing, which a lot of it 374 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: would be for his family and his dad. But still, 375 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: you know it's going to be hard for him, isn't it. 376 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely? 377 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: Look, you don't need motivation pulling on a state of 378 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: origin jersey for either state and being captain, so there 379 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: were so many carrots in front of him to go 380 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: out there and play and lead the side. 381 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: But there's just another one. 382 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: There's another bit of motivation or the spirit that sits 383 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: on his shoulder that when he's there in a tough 384 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: moment that he can lean on someone. 385 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 7: But yeah, can I say he's a new South Wales fan? 386 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 6: Seeing those images of him at the Captain's run smiling 387 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 6: like that, it scares the shit out of me because 388 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 6: I just think he's got the game of you. He 389 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 6: played one of the games of his life and his 390 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 6: career in Game two. I'm expecting even more tomorrow night. 391 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 4: You know the makeup of his personality better than us 392 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: break But he strikes you as that man who you 393 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 4: think back to Shane warn and he could handle turmoil 394 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 4: off the field and then go on and just adapt. 395 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 5: And Cameron strikes me. 396 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 4: As that sort of player that he almost plays off 397 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 4: the top of his head, or he looks to play 398 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 4: off the top of his head, and he goes out 399 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 4: and plays what's. 400 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 5: In front of him. And it wouldn't shock you one bit. 401 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: If Cameron Munster goes out on the field on Wednesday 402 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 4: night and walks off the best player. 403 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me either. And I think he's going 404 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: to do great, so I wish him all the best 405 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: for him mye ICs. It's a unique situation that no 406 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: one really finds himself in, and I. 407 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 7: Wish him all the very best for you, bro. 408 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's been it's been tough because it was 409 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: it was a shock, and I haven't been able to 410 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: really see him. So I'm going to go to the 411 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: game and go see him in the sheds. But it's 412 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: been hard because I haven't really been and I wanted 413 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: to give him time for his family. You know, I 414 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: can relate to it. I think a lot of us 415 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: can have been in a similar situation. So I know 416 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: what he's going through and it's it's been difficult here. 417 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, he's a great bloke, you know, and he 418 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: deserves all the best. So you can't wait for him 419 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: to watch him play. Well, now let's move on and 420 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: we're going to have Nate Miles coming up and we'll 421 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: talk some more Origin and Queensland down the track. But 422 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: Souths running equal last with the Titans. Is that as 423 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: bad as it looks? I think it is. 424 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 4: I watch that game on the weekend against Manly and yeah, 425 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: they're missing Cody, they're missing Latrell, Cam Murray's not there. 426 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 4: There's other players, you know, I think there's seven or 427 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 4: eight out at the moment. But for mine, it shows 428 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 4: you where this current sow Sydney roster is and the 429 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 4: depth of the club, and when you peel back the 430 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 4: layers of what's happened in recent years, for mine and sous. 431 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 5: Have denied it till they're blue in the face. 432 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: But I keep going back to the moment they didn't 433 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 4: offer Adam Reynolds a two year deal. It's kind of 434 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 4: like when the seams fell apart at this joint because 435 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: in the years since, they've gone on and offered Cody 436 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 4: multiple contracts and another year next year they bought Jack White, 437 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: and Jack I think was over thirty years of age 438 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 4: and they offered him a four year deal. It just 439 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 4: seems like since then they've made mistake upon mistake when 440 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 4: it comes to their roster, and I think they're paying 441 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 4: the price. 442 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: Now do you see it the same way? 443 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Crauls, I have to disagree with this one. 444 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 6: I I was as critical as anyone about Adam Reynolds 445 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 6: not getting a two year deal at that club. 446 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 7: I thought it was madness for them to let him go. 447 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 6: But you have to honestly say that this seasons You've 448 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 6: got to pin it on their injury toll, but there's 449 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: been an incredibly it's hard to think of a year 450 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 6: a club that's had a year with injuries like it. 451 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 6: I understand what you're talking about around the halves. That's 452 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 6: something they've got to deal with. But Adam, you can't 453 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 6: pin it on Adam Reynolds and the Lewis Dodds situation. 454 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 7: That's part of it. 455 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 6: But you know, you take our Cameron Murray, Cody Walker's 456 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 6: played eight games, Latrell's played ten. You know what I 457 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 6: reckon it is, I reckon they've been beaten. You know, 458 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 6: they've got through on heart for so much of this season. 459 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 6: I think the loss to the Melbourne Storm just broken 460 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 6: the floodgates have opened in the last two weeks, continually 461 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 6: continually going off injured and there's no depth below him, 462 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 6: you know. 463 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 5: What I mean. They've got players there. 464 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 4: Latrell as a fullback, right, Theatrell can really do some 465 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 4: damage when he gets up the good end of the field, 466 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: but from the back of the field, some of his 467 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: runs they're just there's no impact. There's there's no lightning speed. 468 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 4: Even on top of that, when you look at their wings, 469 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 4: there's no they haven't got the strong carriage. If Latrell 470 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: can't do that out of the back end of the 471 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 4: field that they haven't got the other players. To me, 472 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 4: the roster's out of shape, and you talk about the 473 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: Lewis DoD thing again, it's a it's a seven hundred 474 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars mistake, you know, like across the 475 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 4: board they have made mistake upon mistake where other clubs 476 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 4: have left. 477 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: I said, I said, I think it was either was 478 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: it a last week There's been some poor decisions in 479 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: roster management. That's why they are where they are. I 480 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: mean injuries, yes, And I said again, the majority of 481 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 1: the year, I could understand where they were because they 482 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: had a significant injuries and key positions. But then you 483 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: look at last weekend where we conceded in fifty points. 484 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: I had climb or telling me, you know, White and Latrell, 485 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: Cody Humphreys, Johnston narrow. 486 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: Like squad against team better team again the dogs. 487 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: You know, you look at the West Tigers boards left 488 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: and center. Look their squad compared to that's the out squad. 489 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: Like really, I think you can get a bit. I 490 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: don't know, because they've been talking about their injuries all 491 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: year and year we go and considering the injuries and 492 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: then everyone sort of falls into that and you know 493 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: they have got the best on the planet. 494 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's not just they've been they've hardly settled 495 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 7: on a team and that's been a big factor. 496 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 2: Lay. 497 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: A lot of that is too because of recruitment, right, well, 498 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I want their injuries an't because of the recruitment Lewis. 499 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: If they bought the right half back or or made 500 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: better decisions, they wouldn't be in a hole. They're in Humphries. 501 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: They said that they were really happy at the start 502 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: of the year, but now he's. 503 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 4: A young blake that's coming to win our real level 504 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: and played up up above himself for many weeks and 505 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 4: in recent weeks he struggled a bit, and again that 506 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: goes back to the depth of the club because he 507 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 4: probably wasn't brought in to do that job. 508 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: Dog was. 509 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not disagreeing because they have had a torridy 510 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: injury toll. But to become an equal last with the 511 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: best coach in the world, with the players that had 512 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: on the weekend, I don't know. I don't think it's 513 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's acceptable and get the other team 514 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: to be cotton bullets left flight in the center if 515 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: they were in the same boat. 516 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 4: Finis to the players are out there too, like if 517 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: you if you go back and take away maybe the 518 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: last two weeks although they tried pretty hard on the 519 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 4: weekend too against Manly, but the rosters there was just 520 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: this difference in class. 521 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 5: But the week before that was disappointing. 522 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 4: The four weeks prior to that, they tried their hearts 523 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 4: out against four of the best teams in the comp. 524 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: No question, the players out there are giving their changes. 525 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 4: Next year, then well break there's got to be changes 526 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: change last what the first thing that has to change 527 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 4: next year? 528 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 5: There has to be a resolution on Dodd. 529 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: Now. 530 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 4: I know the club has come out and said that 531 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 4: there's no way they're going to push him out and 532 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: he has got a three year deal, but it's just 533 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 4: an ongoing problem until it's resolved because he's not playing 534 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 4: first grade there. It's seven hundred and fifty of the cap. 535 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: They've had some terrible luck, but that's one burden that 536 00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 4: they have to swallow. 537 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 3: Me mad when Gray was back at full back, looked 538 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 3: like that the side had a bit more energy. 539 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 5: He's been injured too, and. 540 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: Then maybe Latrell going to the centers, like we watched 541 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 3: that manly with Tomsie. 542 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: I think it I wouldn't think it's. 543 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: Going to happen. 544 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 4: I think it has to be considered at some stage 545 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 4: because you can see the player latrell Is he's an 546 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 4: absolute weapon when you get up to that other end 547 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 4: of the field and against the Warriors a few weeks 548 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 4: ago he nearly won the game in twenty minutes. But 549 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 4: the energy that he brings out of the back of 550 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 4: the field, it brings them down. Look at Ko weeks 551 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 4: on the weekend. What he does for Canberra, what Hammer 552 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 4: did when he played South's for the Dolphins, Souse don't 553 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 4: have that. 554 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 5: They don't have that energy coming out of the back 555 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 5: of the field. He joy Gray. If he's not the fullback, 556 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 5: at least get him a go in the halves. That's 557 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 5: where he played. 558 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: Troy used to turn her on and he still does. 559 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: But when he used to turn it on, they would 560 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: just they just win. There was no other result. But 561 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: now when he does turn it on and plays great, 562 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: which he has been given the circumstances that they're still struggling, 563 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's a bit of a battle for him 564 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: and Cary doesn't help being out of the team for 565 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: the majority of you as well, So that's. 566 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: What would you do with the till I play him 567 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: in the centers like I do. 568 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 3: Think he's a Ferrari and you don't need to put 569 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: that many miles on the klumb like on the clock. 570 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 3: I think he can have an impact. I watch him 571 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: at State of Oregon. It is the hardest game to 572 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 3: play scored all those tries because because he's outside of 573 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: the trail. I think he can have an impact with 574 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 3: any number he puts on his back, but I wouldn't 575 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: put him at full back. 576 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: It also both shows you where they're at to the 577 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 4: fact that they are now offering Cody another year because 578 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: he's got the class to him that the players around 579 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 4: him haven't got. So it's a club's in a position 580 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: where they do have to offer him the next year. 581 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 4: But does that mean that they've got the roster right, No, 582 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 4: it means they've got to have a lot. 583 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: Of junior house, isn't he. 584 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 5: The kids coming through. 585 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 9: Getting it's getting smaller the changing area really anyway you 586 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 9: go in their forwards going like they probably going to 587 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 9: come forwards right, there's no who they go to buy 588 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 9: certain you look at where what positions they need most 589 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 9: but who is on the market and who's available. 590 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: And I think Gordon raises a good point too though 591 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 4: about the juniors and that because look at the rooster 592 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: system that they've set up another successful clubs. If you 593 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 4: don't have the kids, you've got to find the kids. 594 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 4: You've got to bring them in and get them up 595 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 4: to speed. 596 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: All right, stick around journas and following us. It's Face 597 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: to Face with Lauren Dailey Part two.
