WEBVTT - The Origin Preview 

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Win to win the competition where twelve rounds go on

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>now to So the competitions just about.

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't found your DNA or your recipe, you're

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>going to struggle and find it from here.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to give you namely three teams, but

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the old box trifecta where the title winner will come.

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>From Panthers Warriors. They are streets ahead of everyone else.

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>They have their game under control, good players playing well,

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>well coached. Yeah, I'd be very far to go past

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 2>those two. But then the next one, like, these new

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>rules are playing a part, and I think the teams

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that have adapted the best probably the Roosters and the Cowboys,

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>like they're built well for it. You've got big, powerful,

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>mobile forwards, halves that aren't playing sideways. They're running direct

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and drink water and Tedesco are the trump cards in

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>their sides.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>And for the Cowboys, Tommy Chester and.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Speed Speed the team is on the back foot. They

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.639
<v Speaker 2>are threatening every time they touched the ball.

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 3>I really like it.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>You see them just wander infield and at times even

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>work in combination.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 3>I just love that.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It frustrates the hell out of me when you see

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>someone with great talent who's a center.

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Just stay in that termut of corridor.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>But these two teams, in terms of my picks, the

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Ruses and the Cowboys there there are a couple of

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 2>rows behind what the Panthers and the Warriors are doing.

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>That they'll have to catch fire at some stage to

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>beat those two.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk state of origin shortly, but Panthers

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 1>was clear.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I've got mainly three.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Manly, so you and I have gone the Cowboys and Manly,

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>who are both under immense PreCure start the season, are

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>now a chance of let's say play pre lague final.

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 3>A dark horse. Yep, yep.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll do this like we're in a competition at the

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>moment where we'll all be talking about points and it's

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's attacked bias. Yet the three teams I've

0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>put in there are the best defensive size since and

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>took over, since Keran took over that team.

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I loath stats, So just it's going to happen. Someone's

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>going to go check this and have this completely.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>So you haven't checked this.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have a glasses properly.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>This could be anything Pants's best defense during that period

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen point two points average second is Manly thirteen point

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>three third, as Warriors just over eighteen points. It shows

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>that those two teams of late Manly and Penrith are

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>significantly better than anyone else.

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>We've said there's a couple of times that I don't

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>care what rules you change, you could make it so

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>attacked biased that it's not funny.

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>But defense will always be the best. So this is

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 2>my issue with some of the best teams that are struggling,

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>like Melbourne and the Dogs, that this real tweak that

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the ball is maybe a little bit faster, a little

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>bit more, imply a bit more. It shouldn't make a

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 2>good defensive team bad like it actually should make them better,

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>like it's made Penrith better, It's made the Warriors and

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>now under Kieren for it's made them a lot better.

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I still firmly believe if you can stop

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the opposition from scoring, you are a better chance to

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 2>win this competition, right because they can have the possession

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>for ten minutes, But if you limit the damage on

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the scoreboard, you'll go down the other end and get

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>your possession at some stage in score points. So whatever

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>he has done on the Northern Beaches Karen Foruan like

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a very special turnaround.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Just been checked, fact checked then number one manly.

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Great research, mate, Like we had Jake on the show

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>last night. Mate, it just mate, he's just buzzing. They're

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>just and a test will come when I don't want

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to say the novelty, but you know, like that that

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>handover period, you know, there's always sometimes a bit of

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a jump. I think they've gone past that. Usually that

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that sort of explosion of form happens for two or

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.839
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, but it just shows you the change has

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been substantial, but it's real and it's not

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>built on.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>And you don't know, coach until you've lost three in

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>a row. Right, the people are making decisions around Kieran

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>can't wait for that. There is just so much momentum

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and positivity. Like let's use a couple examples. Luke Brooks

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>wasn't playing well at all, to the point that you

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>probably would have thought, okay, Joey Walsh might be a yeah,

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>he is playing career best football, like he is running

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the ball, creating stuff. Jake Tavoyevitch looked like he couldn't

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>get through the end of the season. He's now signed

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>extension and ol Kawatu wasn't Origin ready in the first

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>three games. He is now new South Wales edgeback roller

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>and potentially could be the guy that is the point

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.119
<v Speaker 2>of difference at the depth.

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Like so at the moment you got Lehyer, you got

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Tom Travoyevitch out.

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>And like if Tom was out, we're all saying Manly

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>no check. Yeah, he is the barometer for Manley. Yet

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>they've won games without him.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>And Kola miss course of the weekend. Like Clayton fla mate. Honestly,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the football he's playing it is just.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And they can actually now look at maybe managing the

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>load of Tom Travoivitch so he is cherry right for

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the back end of the year. He is not having

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to have the twenty carries in the backfield, be the

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>creative guy at fullback, like you can actually play him

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 2>in the side in the satis or whatever and move

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Clayton at different stages, manages his training load and he's

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 2>playing load.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Like this is a stretch.

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I imagine if they're not going to play Tom at

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>fullback to be center, but to be a handful on

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that three man kick return, wouldn't it like you know,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>he would be some think about it anyway. But you know,

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like I think, in the modern game, one of the

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>most important ingredients, well almost the primary importance, is that

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>ability of a coach to handle pressure. And we said

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>before about losing the three in a row and get

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>yourself out of it. Well, one thing about here and

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that you know he can handle pressure. He's been through

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot in his life. He's been through a lot

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in his career, always found his way out.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's just those players are playing for him.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 2>But you can feel it the way they talk about him,

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and he needs the contract. Now you cannot move away

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 2>from Karen Forum.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Going forward, Let's talk about state of origin before we

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about the keys to the result. Spent a week now,

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.239
<v Speaker 1>anyone you would have selected the missed out coop.

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 2>The obvious one's Rees Walsh for me, But I'm not

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>going to go against an immortal in.

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 4>Waiting in the best fullball they ever played the game

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 4>with Billy.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Like he watches the fullback position better than anything else.

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.799
<v Speaker 2>And since I've said sort of should be on the side,

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>he said no, Well I think, well that's definitely the

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>right answer exactly because I don't know what I'm talking

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>about when it comes to fullback, but I would have thought, yeah,

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I could understand the Calen Pongus spot, but maybe on

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the bench, maybe the six man benches a spot that

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you could put someone in. And maybe the only other

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 2>one that may have had a conversation is hel and

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Luky like he's doing some really good stuff for the

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>cow and I would have thought he may have had

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>a chance or a sneaky look in there.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>It must be hard as a coach at that level,

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 3>could such.

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>High profile period of season, like you know inside everyone's

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>got an opinion.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 3>You must be sitting there sometimes a lot.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Of coaches over the years, and I spoke to a

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>coach and he said, is absolutely true.

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 3>You'd sit there and go, I want to pick this guy.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I probably think certain this guy is better for the team,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>But everyone's calling for that guy.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 3>So we go with this guy and we get beat.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 3>He's going to weigh on fall back on me.

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's one of the strengths of having

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>a Billy Slater or a Lorri Daily coach and your team,

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>because they are one of the best players to ever

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>represent the state. They're not making decisions based on trying

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to get an NFL coaching job. Some coaches get in

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 2>there and go. They might be swayed because, oh, this

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>is probably the more popular one or this is the

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 2>higher percentage one. But these two guys are picking what

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>is best for their states. So yeah, I think the

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 2>stoic nature of having to make these decisions is a

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>big characteristic of why some are the coach and why

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>some aren't the coach.

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd have gone for New South Wales Jackson Ford. I

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>would have found a spoff for Jackson I thought he

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>was really hard done by, and I come back to

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact somewhere in the bench would have found usp

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>off for Fletcher Sharp.

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Like you, we saw a.

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Magic ground recently. I mean you're talking about the tale

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of two magic rounds.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>The last year I backed him for a hat trick.

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just come on, come on, this year, who's

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>playing against my school? I was going, no, no, he's.

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Got a double. It's just one of those blokes.

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>The jackson Ford thing. Like again, you're trying to predict

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>an outcoming origin. You try to predict what someone will deliver.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 2>And what Jackson Ford has done for the Warriors this year,

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>his worst game is an eight yea, his best game

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>is nine point nine, And you would imagine with that

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>type of confidence and form line that he's going to

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 2>get the origin and do something similar, whereas maybe some

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 2>of the other players are at a six and their

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>best is a nine. And I guess I would have

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 2>thought Jackson Ford would have been in my purely because

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of consistency. I almost know what he's going to get

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>and reliable for long.

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Long minutes Coop.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I know sometimes with as far as teams are concerned,

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 1>their salary cap pressure, all of those things are played.

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>But he was the Dragons and I had a youngder

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.199
<v Speaker 1>someone and said, maybe he is he like? Is he

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a late bloomer like? Because he said nah, he said,

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I've played against you one day. He ran for over

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>three hundred meters. It's called four tries. That's where you

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>look like you see at the moment, Saint George l Ware.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>There's elements of their recruitment retention that are wack.

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And to see what Laurie Daly might have been looking at.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>He's got Cam Murray, or Zo Victor Radley and aside,

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>do you really need another middle Ford that can punch

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 2>out long minutes and consistent. Because those three are it.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he wanted a power punch as a middle rotation option.

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Like these are the things that happen around the selection time.

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Is there a new South Wales player You put a

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>circle around and go okay.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 2>All the attention will go to Nathan and rightly so,

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>like he is playing very good football. Feels like this

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>is his time to dominate the origin arena. That that's

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that's the guy that I think might be looking at you.

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>For Queensland, Like I mean the obvious ones, Calumponger, Grant Monster,

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>so on and so forth.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 3>I've gone the Hammer.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's there's a magic about him this moment

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and how many times like he scored really important tries

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>for Queensland.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>He's also I thought maybe when he played in that

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>centers defensively was going to be under pressure but rock

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>solid and then he just comes up with tries, line breaks,

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>broken tackle. If there's anyone you want on a rugby

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>league field that's just supporting in a moment, I think

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 2>it's the Hammer. So if Munster steps through a breakthrough

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and has that just free you want hammer around it.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.359
<v Speaker 2>And he's got the moments on his resume.

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 1>Done a few things like down that left side that

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>remind me of g I like g I when series

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.719
<v Speaker 1>we won the first game fourteen and six. In the

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>second game, g I basically just absolutely I can't.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Say that word annihilated.

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I say, no, he just took us to task. Yeah,

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>it was that iconic one with marke Gas. Then he

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>jumps over Stevie and I.

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Think there's a bit of flexibility to like. Billy likes

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>to be creative on a footall field like and in

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the doing his homework on New South Wales. I imagine

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>he won't be stuck on the left side hammer. I

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>think he might pop up somewhere a play.

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Give me two advantages Queensland have.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 2>I think definitely from last year's series. You know the

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 2>fight back, what Monster did as captain. The advantage I

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>feel that Queensland have this game is if the game

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 2>is officiated and the same speed of play, I think

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 2>number nine are becoming almost the most important player on

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the field without doubt, because if they cause damage and

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 2>carras and quick playaballs through the middle, you don't necessarily

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.959
<v Speaker 2>shift the ball away from where you've caused the damage.

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 2>You should stay there and Harry Grant in the last

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 2>two weeks has become a very important player, not only

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 2>in the Melbourne Storm, but I think in this origin game.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>So if Queensland start getting the tendency, the last thing

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be doing is shifting the ball sideways.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 4>He's going to get arrow straight.

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 2>That will bring Kaylen in, that will bring Months through

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>in particular, and I think that is the advantage. So

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of momentum off the back of last

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>year's series, but the game has changed and if it's

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 2>a fisho the same way, I think Harry Grant is the.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Most influential player on the field.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Second one, I'm going to go Kaylen Ponger because I

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>think he's just playing really well. I see some of

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the things that he says in the media. I see

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>some of the things that we notice off the camera

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 2>what he does at Newcastle. He is not celebrating because

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>he's set up a trial scored. He's celebrating because he's

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 2>engineered something. A couple of players later and someone else

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 2>has taken advantage of it, a Dom Young or a

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Marju And that's the type of form. Is he's better

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>form now in the what five or six games is played.

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Than he was in his Dalli and Taylor agree and

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you can see with Klein losing hurts like.

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 2>There is something about the way he's carrying himself now

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 2>it is different.

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely, all right mate, here's something on tape. Every

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 3>one loved Fatty Devildo time.

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 4>It's tongue first and.

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 1>The Fatty masterclass on the head And welcome.

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 5>To the first edition of the Footy Shape.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>It was at a varkal.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 5>The first show was a nightmare.

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 4>It was magic.

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 5>The greatest time was when selflo chief and Maddie Johnson.

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of a famous name Gasty. We spoke your uncle

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 4>red Earl in the week we didn't, Oh we didn't.

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Number eight years ballot, the redheaded Ballbot.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.239
<v Speaker 3>It's been a hell of a journey.

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 5>Growing up as a teenager in Brisbane. I didn't amount

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 5>to anything.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>The young who came to Manly from Queensland this year

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>he comes straight out of Brisbane into this war zone.

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Two minutes in the nets.

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 2>They passed me in the Belonga.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 3>You had to play hard. He looks down at me

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 3>and he goes, great tackle son.

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Thanks mister Benson goes for origin footy. It'll take you

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 5>to the depths of your soul. I slapped him twice.

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 5>I go, it's embarrassing the slapper.

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I want to call to arms.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 5>What about Queensland?

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Billy as me a lot of money.

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 5>If someone must ask me, tell me about your life,

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 5>I would say it's been a surprise.

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Is there any one you're nominated as a left field

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 3>game breaker?

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, when I look across the field at New South Wales,

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple there. But for Queensland, you've already sort

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of said hammer, We've spoken about Harry Grant, spoke about

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Kaylen Ponger. Outside of those include months, thing that they're

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the key goes right. But if there's one thing that

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Queensland's going to need, it's going to need confidence coming

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>down to a course stadium. It's going to need to

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 2>believe that there's seventeen or twenty players that will have

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 2>an influence on the contest. So Sam Walker is his

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>confidence is a big part of whether he will play

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 2>well or not. Like he has Alfie Langer traits, he

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>has confidence to the point that he believes he can

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>be the best player, whether he's playing for the Roosters

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>on a Saturday afternoon or origin in his debut a

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 2>bit like Munster in his debut, right, So I think

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 2>he sits on that precipice of either rising to the

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>occasion and like putting his name up in lights that

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>he's going to play Origin for the next ten years,

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>or it's going to be the death by a thousand

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 2>cuts of Nathan. Clearly that puts him on the back

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 2>foot and then starts trying to finesse something when that

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't happen. So outside of the main guys have already mentioned,

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 2>he's got the ability to be very, very good, but

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>he's got a lot of pressure to to be consistent.

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 3>I've got Ethan Strange. You know, it's just something special

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 3>about Ethan.

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I think in this series, Ethan enters this series as

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a very good young player. I think at the back

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>end that he could leave the series at the end

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of Game three as a genuine.

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Star of the game.

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he gets game time? I think he

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 2>does coops so Brayley Strange, I reckon if.

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>There's one per I look at two people on the bench,

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's a really crucial one to go Roda, which player,

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>which players?

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Which player is going to miss out?

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Depending on the tempo of the game and what happens.

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>As far as injury, it might be Jacob's HIGHFIETI. It

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>might be Victor there too, because the other guys if

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a fast tempo, he just need him out there.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, he's the sort of guy E's in

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Strange if things were really tight towards the game and

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you need to try or whatnot, the opposition both middles

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>are going to be tired. You know, you don't ask.

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>If you know they're going to be you send him

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on there. You send him on there and just say, mate,

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>just pop up everywhere, do something for me.

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And like, the one thing I really admire about Strange

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 2>is his physicality. For a half, like he doesn't take

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 2>a backwards step. He actually goes towards contact as opposed

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 2>to step back from it. And in an origin game,

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it just feels like that's a very good trait to

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 2>have for a kid that loves to run the ball.

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 2>So maybe maybe here's the point of difference. Maybe he's

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the guy that when the game is in the balance,

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 2>but if it's if it's already sewn up between you ago,

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 2>he probably doesn't.

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 3>That's true game.

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Time state of origin oft the time seen through state

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>of origin history coaches playing ducks and drakes and at

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the last second there's a bit of switch or a change.

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 3>Do you see anything there with Queensland.

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe you know. Look, Lindsey Collins is that guy

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>that sort of leads from the front, his best and

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 2>is probably his first flegler deserves his opportunity.

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a great story.

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Reuben cod has always been the guy that gets moved

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 2>around at some stage, like he is almost the flexible

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>rod that is the pack for queens.

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Funny with starting on the edge, I wouldn't surprise me

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>as a little shift there.

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Starts on edge, moves to the middle whenever. He's just

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the guy that's he is the safety blanket for Billy

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.640
<v Speaker 2>at Gwether. So I don't think too many big tactical ones.

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 2>If there was one, maybe the left field players look

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>at Cola and to the wings. Maybe Selwyn Cobbo is

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 2>set up for a kick at some stage, just the

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 2>high disadvantage on that.

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Similarly, I look at the first one step Crichton, Toler, Cohler,

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Coler plays his best football at center. Crichton has proven

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>at the very top level is a brilliant winger he's

0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 1>just a natural football wouldn't surprise me.

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 3>There's a switch.

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>They showed a little bit of training the other day

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and Cola was on the wing and Crichton the senters.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 3>But again so for.

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Example, last play option, depending on which side of the

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 2>field both wingers play Cobo for feed up whatever like,

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>it could come down to a selling Cobo's marked up

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 2>with Cohler last play options Steven Krant goes back to

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the wing to cover the height and the catch, so

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 2>that could be something.

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And cruditlter Cary and shoulder injury a lesson his defensive workload.

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The other one, and this is a big one, but

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>it would not surprise me. Dylan Lucas coming into the nineteen.

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>He's not twenty now. It's a couple of reasons why Coop.

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think if one thing with New South Wales, we're

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>short of an edge back rower. And I've heard Lorie

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 1>talk before. He said, well I can put Victor there.

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I've seen Victor, then I can put Cam Murray. I

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 1>don't like either on the edge. It doesn't suit Victor's

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>game and Kem Murray you're taking him away from his

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>strengths spoon and foot work. Against bigger guy through the middle,

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>so that makes sense. The other one is this coup

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>is the covering of the outside backs. Say, for instance,

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Teddy goes down. I heard Gus talking about this the

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 1>other day. He said, looked at the squad and his

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>concern was that lack of flexibility, and he asked the question,

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>what would happen if Teddy goes down. Well, if Teddy

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>goes down and you've got Dylan Lucas into that nineteen,

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>what happens is Crichton or Coley go to the back,

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>then he can go move into the Senates and people

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>will say he's an edge back rower.

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 3>I've seen him play center. He's as good as center

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 3>as his edgeback rower.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wouldn't be moving Holakauatu and Young if I

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to. Like it scares me that if these

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>two guys play anywhere near their ability, they could be

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a very good focal.

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Point to go to.

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>HUDs and Young like is awkward to defend against, and

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.719
<v Speaker 2>he'll be coming up against Sam Walker. So he's got

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 2>this like twist in pushing, like just annoying traits that

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 2>are very good for him. Right, And on the other side,

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>the other blokes playing like a man possessed at the moment,

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and he is literally going to have Cameron Munster in

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>his eyesight. So to your point, if Dylan Lucas does

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>come on, it's because of an injury and a reshuffle,

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think he's going to be playing back

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>row in that New South Wales side with those two guys.

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>If they're fit, who wins and White coop out of

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the back there he beth.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 2>But I always say Queensland, I never bore from it.

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 2>But New South Wales scare me, ye, but they do.

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I think after what happened last year, their halves, their

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>back rowers, there's just something at home in the first game.

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 2>But Queensland, I think if they are to win this,

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 2>they need to start very well, almost to the point

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 2>that dominate possession, get the scoreboard ticking over.

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 4>And hang on from there.

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>So Queensland to win. For me, let's say twenty four sixteen.

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 4>I think Harry Grant's the main man.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Funny thing, like you've experienced state of Origin at a

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Courre Stadium, state of Origin at sun Corpse Stadium. Completely

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>completely different games, aren't they.

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Obviously fans are different in the emotion, but it's normally

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>a dry track additions, yet at suncour and it's normally

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 2>high paced, whereas a core it's dewey. It's where it's

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 2>more sort of attrition based performance. That's why I think

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the start is crucial for Queensland because if they miss it,

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they can chase down the scoreboard.

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Put it that way right, Well, I've gone, I've gone

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 3>to New South Wales. I think it.

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I do suspect it will be very high temper and

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>if it is, that SuitSat team so New South Wales

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 1>score line twenty eight eighteen. Although games at a course

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>stadium are not natoriously low score arounds, like you know,

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes there has been a few games but eight points

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:55.400
<v Speaker 1>has been enough to win.

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I think how this game is officiated

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 2>becomes crucial because if it is open like the NFL

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 2>has been, it could it could be very fast and

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 2>ferocious through the middle. But if it is a bit

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 2>of a slog yeah, I think Queensland through their team selections,

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 2>probably have the advantage if the whistle is in the pocket.

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I think New South Wales through their selections, if the

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 2>whistle is restart penalties high scoring, they definitely have the.

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Advantage Dalian points through two. One tonight.

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 4>You go.

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Harry Grant's my main man.

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Yea.

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 2>If someone's going to have an impact physically and help

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Queensland and Harry Grant, I feel like it's Tino and

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I just like that people are questioning Tino. I really

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 2>do from a performance point of view at the times.

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 2>He even comes on your show the other week saying

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 2>that he's disappointed with his form. That is poking the

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 2>bear a little bit and I like it. And then yeah,

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a whitewash for me queens and give

0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 2>someone like a Max platform.

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got Nathan Cleary who I think it's his time

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in that he's done. I've gone him for this and

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.679
<v Speaker 1>I back him for Wally Lewis medal as well. Two

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>points have gone Hudson Young.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's Hudson's.

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Out of all the players on New South Wales, You've

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:17.159
<v Speaker 2>picked Hudson.

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 3>I just I think he'll get a lot of football.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that they'll identify Sam, they're going to test

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 1>him out a lot.

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 3>I think you'll get a lot.

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Of ball on that left side, and you know he's

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's time for Hearts and I can see

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 1>him this series taking his club football form to original level.

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Just get sense of that time. The other one I've

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 1>gone Max Plaith for a point. I'm really as to

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.919
<v Speaker 1>sit in as a neutral when I say this is neutral,

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm really looking forward to watching Ingim play. You know,

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he's he's coming to the team. At the moment he

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>went into the side of the Dolphins. You know, there's

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.639
<v Speaker 1>just been something about him and it's my understanding the

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>most senior players in that Queensland side push for him.

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>With Billy that says everything done.

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no I think there's a certain thing when

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>you're picking up one point in the Origin team. Yeah,

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 2>you can go the try scorers and all the guys

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.439
<v Speaker 2>that get the headlines, but in the history of Origin,

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you always pick the rock. Soilar guys that are gonna

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 2>hold hold their gloves up for long periods of time.

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Mate, Let's not let the result get in the middle

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:17.440
<v Speaker 3>of this.

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 5>H
