1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Win to win the competition where twelve rounds go on

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: now to So the competitions just about.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: If you haven't found your DNA or your recipe, you're

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: going to struggle and find it from here.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you namely three teams, but

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: the old box trifecta where the title winner will come.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: From Panthers Warriors. They are streets ahead of everyone else.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: They have their game under control, good players playing well,

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: well coached. Yeah, I'd be very far to go past

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: those two. But then the next one, like, these new

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: rules are playing a part, and I think the teams

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: that have adapted the best probably the Roosters and the Cowboys,

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: like they're built well for it. You've got big, powerful,

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: mobile forwards, halves that aren't playing sideways. They're running direct

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: and drink water and Tedesco are the trump cards in

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: their sides.

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: And for the Cowboys, Tommy Chester and.

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: Speed Speed the team is on the back foot. They

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 2: are threatening every time they touched the ball.

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: I really like it.

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: You see them just wander infield and at times even

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: work in combination.

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: I just love that.

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: It frustrates the hell out of me when you see

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: someone with great talent who's a center.

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: Just stay in that termut of corridor.

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: But these two teams, in terms of my picks, the

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Ruses and the Cowboys there there are a couple of

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: rows behind what the Panthers and the Warriors are doing.

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: That they'll have to catch fire at some stage to

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: beat those two.

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: We're going to talk state of origin shortly, but Panthers

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: was clear.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: I've got mainly three.

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: Manly, so you and I have gone the Cowboys and Manly,

36
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: who are both under immense PreCure start the season, are

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: now a chance of let's say play pre lague final.

38
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 3: A dark horse. Yep, yep.

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll do this like we're in a competition at the

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: moment where we'll all be talking about points and it's

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's attacked bias. Yet the three teams I've

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: put in there are the best defensive size since and

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: took over, since Keran took over that team.

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: I loath stats, So just it's going to happen. Someone's

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: going to go check this and have this completely.

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: So you haven't checked this.

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: I didn't have a glasses properly.

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: This could be anything Pants's best defense during that period

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: thirteen point two points average second is Manly thirteen point

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: three third, as Warriors just over eighteen points. It shows

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: that those two teams of late Manly and Penrith are

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: significantly better than anyone else.

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: We've said there's a couple of times that I don't

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: care what rules you change, you could make it so

55
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: attacked biased that it's not funny.

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: Yep.

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: But defense will always be the best. So this is

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: my issue with some of the best teams that are struggling,

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: like Melbourne and the Dogs, that this real tweak that

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: the ball is maybe a little bit faster, a little

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: bit more, imply a bit more. It shouldn't make a

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: good defensive team bad like it actually should make them better,

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: like it's made Penrith better, It's made the Warriors and

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: now under Kieren for it's made them a lot better.

65
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I still firmly believe if you can stop

66
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: the opposition from scoring, you are a better chance to

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: win this competition, right because they can have the possession

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: for ten minutes, But if you limit the damage on

69
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: the scoreboard, you'll go down the other end and get

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: your possession at some stage in score points. So whatever

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: he has done on the Northern Beaches Karen Foruan like

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: it's it's a very special turnaround.

73
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Just been checked, fact checked then number one manly.

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Great research, mate, Like we had Jake on the show

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: last night. Mate, it just mate, he's just buzzing. They're

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: just and a test will come when I don't want

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: to say the novelty, but you know, like that that

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: handover period, you know, there's always sometimes a bit of

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: a jump. I think they've gone past that. Usually that

80
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: that sort of explosion of form happens for two or

81
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: three weeks, but it just shows you the change has

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: it's it's been substantial, but it's real and it's not

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: built on.

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: And you don't know, coach until you've lost three in

85
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: a row. Right, the people are making decisions around Kieran

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: can't wait for that. There is just so much momentum

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: and positivity. Like let's use a couple examples. Luke Brooks

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: wasn't playing well at all, to the point that you

89
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: probably would have thought, okay, Joey Walsh might be a yeah,

90
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: he is playing career best football, like he is running

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: the ball, creating stuff. Jake Tavoyevitch looked like he couldn't

92
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: get through the end of the season. He's now signed

93
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: extension and ol Kawatu wasn't Origin ready in the first

94
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: three games. He is now new South Wales edgeback roller

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: and potentially could be the guy that is the point

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 2: of difference at the depth.

97
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: Like so at the moment you got Lehyer, you got

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Tom Travoyevitch out.

99
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: And like if Tom was out, we're all saying Manly

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: no check. Yeah, he is the barometer for Manley. Yet

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: they've won games without him.

102
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: And Kola miss course of the weekend. Like Clayton fla mate. Honestly,

103
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the football he's playing it is just.

104
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: And they can actually now look at maybe managing the

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: load of Tom Travoivitch so he is cherry right for

106
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: the back end of the year. He is not having

107
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: to have the twenty carries in the backfield, be the

108
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: creative guy at fullback, like you can actually play him

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: in the side in the satis or whatever and move

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: Clayton at different stages, manages his training load and he's

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: playing load.

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: Like this is a stretch.

113
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: I imagine if they're not going to play Tom at

114
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: fullback to be center, but to be a handful on

115
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: that three man kick return, wouldn't it like you know,

116
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: he would be some think about it anyway. But you know,

117
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: like I think, in the modern game, one of the

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: most important ingredients, well almost the primary importance, is that

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: ability of a coach to handle pressure. And we said

120
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: before about losing the three in a row and get

121
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: yourself out of it. Well, one thing about here and

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: that you know he can handle pressure. He's been through

123
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot in his life. He's been through a lot

124
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: in his career, always found his way out.

125
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just those players are playing for him.

126
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: But you can feel it the way they talk about him,

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: and he needs the contract. Now you cannot move away

128
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: from Karen Forum.

129
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Going forward, Let's talk about state of origin before we

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: talk about the keys to the result. Spent a week now,

131
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: anyone you would have selected the missed out coop.

132
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: The obvious one's Rees Walsh for me, But I'm not

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: going to go against an immortal in.

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: Waiting in the best fullball they ever played the game

135
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: with Billy.

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: Like he watches the fullback position better than anything else.

137
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 2: And since I've said sort of should be on the side,

138
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: he said no, Well I think, well that's definitely the

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: right answer exactly because I don't know what I'm talking

140
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: about when it comes to fullback, but I would have thought, yeah,

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: I could understand the Calen Pongus spot, but maybe on

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: the bench, maybe the six man benches a spot that

143
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: you could put someone in. And maybe the only other

144
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: one that may have had a conversation is hel and

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: Luky like he's doing some really good stuff for the

146
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: cow and I would have thought he may have had

147
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: a chance or a sneaky look in there.

148
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: It must be hard as a coach at that level,

149
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: could such.

150
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: High profile period of season, like you know inside everyone's

151
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: got an opinion.

152
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: You must be sitting there sometimes a lot.

153
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Of coaches over the years, and I spoke to a

154
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: coach and he said, is absolutely true.

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: You'd sit there and go, I want to pick this guy.

156
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: I probably think certain this guy is better for the team,

157
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: But everyone's calling for that guy.

158
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: So we go with this guy and we get beat.

159
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: He's going to weigh on fall back on me.

160
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: And I think it's one of the strengths of having

161
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: a Billy Slater or a Lorri Daily coach and your team,

162
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: because they are one of the best players to ever

163
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: represent the state. They're not making decisions based on trying

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: to get an NFL coaching job. Some coaches get in

165
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: there and go. They might be swayed because, oh, this

166
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: is probably the more popular one or this is the

167
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: higher percentage one. But these two guys are picking what

168
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: is best for their states. So yeah, I think the

169
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: stoic nature of having to make these decisions is a

170
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: big characteristic of why some are the coach and why

171
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: some aren't the coach.

172
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: I'd have gone for New South Wales Jackson Ford. I

173
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: would have found a spoff for Jackson I thought he

174
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: was really hard done by, and I come back to

175
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: the fact somewhere in the bench would have found usp

176
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: off for Fletcher Sharp.

177
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: Like you, we saw a.

178
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Magic ground recently. I mean you're talking about the tale

179
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: of two magic rounds.

180
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: You know.

181
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: The last year I backed him for a hat trick.

182
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: I was just come on, come on, this year, who's

183
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: playing against my school? I was going, no, no, he's.

184
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: Got a double. It's just one of those blokes.

185
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: The jackson Ford thing. Like again, you're trying to predict

186
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: an outcoming origin. You try to predict what someone will deliver.

187
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: And what Jackson Ford has done for the Warriors this year,

188
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: his worst game is an eight yea, his best game

189
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: is nine point nine, And you would imagine with that

190
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: type of confidence and form line that he's going to

191
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: get the origin and do something similar, whereas maybe some

192
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: of the other players are at a six and their

193
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: best is a nine. And I guess I would have

194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: thought Jackson Ford would have been in my purely because

195
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: of consistency. I almost know what he's going to get

196
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: and reliable for long.

197
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Long minutes Coop.

198
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I know sometimes with as far as teams are concerned,

199
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: their salary cap pressure, all of those things are played.

200
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: But he was the Dragons and I had a youngder

201
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: someone and said, maybe he is he like? Is he

202
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: a late bloomer like? Because he said nah, he said,

203
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I've played against you one day. He ran for over

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: three hundred meters. It's called four tries. That's where you

205
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: look like you see at the moment, Saint George l Ware.

206
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: There's elements of their recruitment retention that are wack.

207
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: And to see what Laurie Daly might have been looking at.

208
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: He's got Cam Murray, or Zo Victor Radley and aside,

209
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: do you really need another middle Ford that can punch

210
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: out long minutes and consistent. Because those three are it.

211
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he wanted a power punch as a middle rotation option.

212
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: Like these are the things that happen around the selection time.

213
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Is there a new South Wales player You put a

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: circle around and go okay.

215
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: All the attention will go to Nathan and rightly so,

216
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: like he is playing very good football. Feels like this

217
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: is his time to dominate the origin arena. That that's

218
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: that's the guy that I think might be looking at you.

219
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: For Queensland, Like I mean the obvious ones, Calumponger, Grant Monster,

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: so on and so forth.

221
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: I've gone the Hammer.

222
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a magic about him this moment

223
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: and how many times like he scored really important tries

224
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: for Queensland.

225
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: He's also I thought maybe when he played in that

226
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: centers defensively was going to be under pressure but rock

227
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: solid and then he just comes up with tries, line breaks,

228
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: broken tackle. If there's anyone you want on a rugby

229
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: league field that's just supporting in a moment, I think

230
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: it's the Hammer. So if Munster steps through a breakthrough

231
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: and has that just free you want hammer around it.

232
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,359
Speaker 2: And he's got the moments on his resume.

233
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: Done a few things like down that left side that

234
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: remind me of g I like g I when series

235
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: we won the first game fourteen and six. In the

236
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: second game, g I basically just absolutely I can't.

237
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: Say that word annihilated.

238
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I say, no, he just took us to task. Yeah,

239
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: it was that iconic one with marke Gas. Then he

240
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: jumps over Stevie and I.

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Think there's a bit of flexibility to like. Billy likes

242
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: to be creative on a footall field like and in

243
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: the doing his homework on New South Wales. I imagine

244
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: he won't be stuck on the left side hammer. I

245
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: think he might pop up somewhere a play.

246
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: Give me two advantages Queensland have.

247
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: I think definitely from last year's series. You know the

248
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: fight back, what Monster did as captain. The advantage I

249
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: feel that Queensland have this game is if the game

250
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: is officiated and the same speed of play, I think

251
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: number nine are becoming almost the most important player on

252
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: the field without doubt, because if they cause damage and

253
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: carras and quick playaballs through the middle, you don't necessarily

254
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: shift the ball away from where you've caused the damage.

255
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: You should stay there and Harry Grant in the last

256
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: two weeks has become a very important player, not only

257
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: in the Melbourne Storm, but I think in this origin game.

258
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: So if Queensland start getting the tendency, the last thing

259
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: he's going to be doing is shifting the ball sideways.

260
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: He's going to get arrow straight.

261
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: That will bring Kaylen in, that will bring Months through

262
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: in particular, and I think that is the advantage. So

263
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of momentum off the back of last

264
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: year's series, but the game has changed and if it's

265
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: a fisho the same way, I think Harry Grant is the.

266
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: Most influential player on the field.

267
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: Second one, I'm going to go Kaylen Ponger because I

268
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: think he's just playing really well. I see some of

269
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: the things that he says in the media. I see

270
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: some of the things that we notice off the camera

271
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: what he does at Newcastle. He is not celebrating because

272
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: he's set up a trial scored. He's celebrating because he's

273
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: engineered something. A couple of players later and someone else

274
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: has taken advantage of it, a Dom Young or a

275
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Marju And that's the type of form. Is he's better

276
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: form now in the what five or six games is played.

277
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Than he was in his Dalli and Taylor agree and

278
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: you can see with Klein losing hurts like.

279
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: There is something about the way he's carrying himself now

280
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: it is different.

281
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, all right mate, here's something on tape. Every

282
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: one loved Fatty Devildo time.

283
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: It's tongue first and.

284
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: The Fatty masterclass on the head And welcome.

285
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 5: To the first edition of the Footy Shape.

286
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: It was at a varkal.

287
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: The first show was a nightmare.

288
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: It was magic.

289
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: The greatest time was when selflo chief and Maddie Johnson.

290
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of a famous name Gasty. We spoke your uncle

291
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: red Earl in the week we didn't, Oh we didn't.

292
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: Number eight years ballot, the redheaded Ballbot.

293
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,239
Speaker 3: It's been a hell of a journey.

294
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 5: Growing up as a teenager in Brisbane. I didn't amount

295
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: to anything.

296
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: The young who came to Manly from Queensland this year

297
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: he comes straight out of Brisbane into this war zone.

298
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: Two minutes in the nets.

299
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: They passed me in the Belonga.

300
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: You had to play hard. He looks down at me

301
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: and he goes, great tackle son.

302
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 5: Thanks mister Benson goes for origin footy. It'll take you

303
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: to the depths of your soul. I slapped him twice.

304
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: I go, it's embarrassing the slapper.

305
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: I want to call to arms.

306
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: What about Queensland?

307
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: Billy as me a lot of money.

308
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: If someone must ask me, tell me about your life,

309
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 5: I would say it's been a surprise.

310
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: Is there any one you're nominated as a left field

311
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: game breaker?

312
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Well, when I look across the field at New South Wales,

313
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: there's a couple there. But for Queensland, you've already sort

314
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: of said hammer, We've spoken about Harry Grant, spoke about

315
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: Kaylen Ponger. Outside of those include months, thing that they're

316
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: the key goes right. But if there's one thing that

317
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: Queensland's going to need, it's going to need confidence coming

318
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: down to a course stadium. It's going to need to

319
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: believe that there's seventeen or twenty players that will have

320
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: an influence on the contest. So Sam Walker is his

321
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: confidence is a big part of whether he will play

322
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: well or not. Like he has Alfie Langer traits, he

323
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: has confidence to the point that he believes he can

324
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: be the best player, whether he's playing for the Roosters

325
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: on a Saturday afternoon or origin in his debut a

326
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: bit like Munster in his debut, right, So I think

327
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: he sits on that precipice of either rising to the

328
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: occasion and like putting his name up in lights that

329
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: he's going to play Origin for the next ten years,

330
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: or it's going to be the death by a thousand

331
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: cuts of Nathan. Clearly that puts him on the back

332
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: foot and then starts trying to finesse something when that

333
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: shouldn't happen. So outside of the main guys have already mentioned,

334
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: he's got the ability to be very, very good, but

335
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: he's got a lot of pressure to to be consistent.

336
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: I've got Ethan Strange. You know, it's just something special

337
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: about Ethan.

338
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: I think in this series, Ethan enters this series as

339
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: a very good young player. I think at the back

340
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: end that he could leave the series at the end

341
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: of Game three as a genuine.

342
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: Star of the game.

343
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: Do you think he gets game time? I think he

344
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: does coops so Brayley Strange, I reckon if.

345
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: There's one per I look at two people on the bench,

346
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: and that's a really crucial one to go Roda, which player,

347
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: which players?

348
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: Which player is going to miss out?

349
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: Depending on the tempo of the game and what happens.

350
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: As far as injury, it might be Jacob's HIGHFIETI. It

351
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: might be Victor there too, because the other guys if

352
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: it's a fast tempo, he just need him out there.

353
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: And you know, he's the sort of guy E's in

354
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: Strange if things were really tight towards the game and

355
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: you need to try or whatnot, the opposition both middles

356
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: are going to be tired. You know, you don't ask.

357
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: If you know they're going to be you send him

358
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: on there. You send him on there and just say, mate,

359
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: just pop up everywhere, do something for me.

360
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: And like, the one thing I really admire about Strange

361
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: is his physicality. For a half, like he doesn't take

362
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: a backwards step. He actually goes towards contact as opposed

363
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: to step back from it. And in an origin game,

364
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: it just feels like that's a very good trait to

365
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: have for a kid that loves to run the ball.

366
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe here's the point of difference. Maybe he's

367
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: the guy that when the game is in the balance,

368
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: but if it's if it's already sewn up between you ago,

369
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: he probably doesn't.

370
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: That's true game.

371
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Time state of origin oft the time seen through state

372
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: of origin history coaches playing ducks and drakes and at

373
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: the last second there's a bit of switch or a change.

374
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: Do you see anything there with Queensland.

375
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you know. Look, Lindsey Collins is that guy

376
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: that sort of leads from the front, his best and

377
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: is probably his first flegler deserves his opportunity.

378
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: It's a great story.

379
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: Reuben cod has always been the guy that gets moved

380
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: around at some stage, like he is almost the flexible

381
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: rod that is the pack for queens.

382
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: Funny with starting on the edge, I wouldn't surprise me

383
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: as a little shift there.

384
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: Starts on edge, moves to the middle whenever. He's just

385
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: the guy that's he is the safety blanket for Billy

386
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: at Gwether. So I don't think too many big tactical ones.

387
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: If there was one, maybe the left field players look

388
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: at Cola and to the wings. Maybe Selwyn Cobbo is

389
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: set up for a kick at some stage, just the

390
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: high disadvantage on that.

391
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Similarly, I look at the first one step Crichton, Toler, Cohler,

392
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: Coler plays his best football at center. Crichton has proven

393
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: at the very top level is a brilliant winger he's

394
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: just a natural football wouldn't surprise me.

395
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: There's a switch.

396
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: They showed a little bit of training the other day

397
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: and Cola was on the wing and Crichton the senters.

398
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: But again so for.

399
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: Example, last play option, depending on which side of the

400
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: field both wingers play Cobo for feed up whatever like,

401
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: it could come down to a selling Cobo's marked up

402
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: with Cohler last play options Steven Krant goes back to

403
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: the wing to cover the height and the catch, so

404
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: that could be something.

405
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: And cruditlter Cary and shoulder injury a lesson his defensive workload.

406
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: The other one, and this is a big one, but

407
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me. Dylan Lucas coming into the nineteen.

408
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: He's not twenty now. It's a couple of reasons why Coop.

409
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: I think if one thing with New South Wales, we're

410
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: short of an edge back rower. And I've heard Lorie

411
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: talk before. He said, well I can put Victor there.

412
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: I've seen Victor, then I can put Cam Murray. I

413
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: don't like either on the edge. It doesn't suit Victor's

414
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: game and Kem Murray you're taking him away from his

415
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: strengths spoon and foot work. Against bigger guy through the middle,

416
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: so that makes sense. The other one is this coup

417
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: is the covering of the outside backs. Say, for instance,

418
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: Teddy goes down. I heard Gus talking about this the

419
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: other day. He said, looked at the squad and his

420
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: concern was that lack of flexibility, and he asked the question,

421
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: what would happen if Teddy goes down. Well, if Teddy

422
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: goes down and you've got Dylan Lucas into that nineteen,

423
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: what happens is Crichton or Coley go to the back,

424
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: then he can go move into the Senates and people

425
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: will say he's an edge back rower.

426
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: I've seen him play center. He's as good as center

427
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: as his edgeback rower.

428
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't be moving Holakauatu and Young if I

429
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: didn't have to. Like it scares me that if these

430
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: two guys play anywhere near their ability, they could be

431
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: a very good focal.

432
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 4: Point to go to.

433
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: HUDs and Young like is awkward to defend against, and

434
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 2: he'll be coming up against Sam Walker. So he's got

435
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: this like twist in pushing, like just annoying traits that

436
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: are very good for him. Right, And on the other side,

437
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: the other blokes playing like a man possessed at the moment,

438
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: and he is literally going to have Cameron Munster in

439
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: his eyesight. So to your point, if Dylan Lucas does

440
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: come on, it's because of an injury and a reshuffle,

441
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: because I don't think he's going to be playing back

442
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: row in that New South Wales side with those two guys.

443
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: If they're fit, who wins and White coop out of

444
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: the back there he beth.

445
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: But I always say Queensland, I never bore from it.

446
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: But New South Wales scare me, ye, but they do.

447
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: I think after what happened last year, their halves, their

448
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: back rowers, there's just something at home in the first game.

449
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: But Queensland, I think if they are to win this,

450
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: they need to start very well, almost to the point

451
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: that dominate possession, get the scoreboard ticking over.

452
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 4: And hang on from there.

453
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: So Queensland to win. For me, let's say twenty four sixteen.

454
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 4: I think Harry Grant's the main man.

455
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: Funny thing, like you've experienced state of Origin at a

456
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Courre Stadium, state of Origin at sun Corpse Stadium. Completely

457
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: completely different games, aren't they.

458
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: Obviously fans are different in the emotion, but it's normally

459
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: a dry track additions, yet at suncour and it's normally

460
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: high paced, whereas a core it's dewey. It's where it's

461
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: more sort of attrition based performance. That's why I think

462
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: the start is crucial for Queensland because if they miss it,

463
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't think they can chase down the scoreboard.

464
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Put it that way right, Well, I've gone, I've gone

465
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: to New South Wales. I think it.

466
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: I do suspect it will be very high temper and

467
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: if it is, that SuitSat team so New South Wales

468
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: score line twenty eight eighteen. Although games at a course

469
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: stadium are not natoriously low score arounds, like you know,

470
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: sometimes there has been a few games but eight points

471
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: has been enough to win.

472
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: And that's why I think how this game is officiated

473
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: becomes crucial because if it is open like the NFL

474
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: has been, it could it could be very fast and

475
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: ferocious through the middle. But if it is a bit

476
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: of a slog yeah, I think Queensland through their team selections,

477
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: probably have the advantage if the whistle is in the pocket.

478
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: I think New South Wales through their selections, if the

479
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 2: whistle is restart penalties high scoring, they definitely have the.

480
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: Advantage Dalian points through two. One tonight.

481
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: You go.

482
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: Harry Grant's my main man.

483
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 4: Yea.

484
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: If someone's going to have an impact physically and help

485
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: Queensland and Harry Grant, I feel like it's Tino and

486
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: I just like that people are questioning Tino. I really

487
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: do from a performance point of view at the times.

488
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: He even comes on your show the other week saying

489
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: that he's disappointed with his form. That is poking the

490
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: bear a little bit and I like it. And then yeah,

491
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: it's a it's a whitewash for me queens and give

492
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: someone like a Max platform.

493
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: I've got Nathan Cleary who I think it's his time

494
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: in that he's done. I've gone him for this and

495
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: I back him for Wally Lewis medal as well. Two

496
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: points have gone Hudson Young.

497
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: I think it's Hudson's.

498
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: Out of all the players on New South Wales, You've

499
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: picked Hudson.

500
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: I just I think he'll get a lot of football.

501
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: I think that they'll identify Sam, they're going to test

502
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: him out a lot.

503
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: I think you'll get a lot.

504
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Of ball on that left side, and you know he's

505
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it's time for Hearts and I can see

506
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: him this series taking his club football form to original level.

507
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Just get sense of that time. The other one I've

508
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: gone Max Plaith for a point. I'm really as to

509
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: sit in as a neutral when I say this is neutral,

510
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to watching Ingim play. You know,

511
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: he's he's coming to the team. At the moment he

512
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: went into the side of the Dolphins. You know, there's

513
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: just been something about him and it's my understanding the

514
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: most senior players in that Queensland side push for him.

515
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: With Billy that says everything done.

516
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no I think there's a certain thing when

517
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 2: you're picking up one point in the Origin team. Yeah,

518
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: you can go the try scorers and all the guys

519
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 2: that get the headlines, but in the history of Origin,

520
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: you always pick the rock. Soilar guys that are gonna

521
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: hold hold their gloves up for long periods of time.

522
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: Mate, Let's not let the result get in the middle

523
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: of this.

524
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: H
