1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Well, Gregory Kronk and Bran has got a bit in 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: a ring to it. Nice little cameo here for you mate, 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: happy to be here. Well, last time Matthew Johnson was 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: seen walking out of a dive bar in Oxford Street. 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: So that's why I've got that's what you're here exactly 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 2: happy to do it. 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: But queens adverse New South Wales stages set for Wednesday night. 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: New South Wales win, it goes down as one of 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: their greatest victories. 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: It goes down as one of our greatest victories because 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: at the moment it looks a million miles away. That's 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: why I just think, you know, off the back of yeah, 13 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: we played well, but for twenty three minutes when Queensland 14 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: were down to twelve men, New South Wales didn't play 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: well as a team. Therefore, individually, you know, I thought 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: we struggled and I've sort of said from right from 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: the game one win. You know, you can tink around 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: with the side, but it doesn't matter who we pick 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: unless we unless we play like a team. It doesn't 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: matter who's in the side, and we haven't played like 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: a team until the twenty three minutes when New South 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 2: Wales had the numbers advantage, and. 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: That's a fair point because if you're going to go 24 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: to sun corpor and win up there, it needs to 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: be not necessarily an individual brilliant player, it needs to 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: be twenty players. The coaches to get it right because 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: form history one game three last year. But as you said, 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: can they win? Will they win? 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: They can win? Absolutely, of course they can. Like when 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: you look at the players in that lineup, New south 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: Wales can win, there's no doubt about it. But their 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: performances as a team so far you know that. You know, 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: that's why they're underdogs. 34 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I agree they can win. Will they win? I think 35 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: comes down to Laurie. What can Laurie do to bring 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: that team together? Hasn't got a great record at origin. 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: He is one of the greatest players that's ever worn 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: a Blue jersey. Let's pretend that this is it's likely 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: going to be his last. What does he need to 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: get right to make sure that New South Wales played 41 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the game of their life? 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: Well, I think you know, the preparation needs to be 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: as good. He needs to have created an atmosphere and 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: prep's nearly done. You know, there's only forty eight hours 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: or just a little bit over forty eight hours now 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: before we play the game, So I think, you know, 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: most of Laurie's work will have been done. They'll have 48 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: their last training session and he's just got to make 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: sure that, you know, every bit of potential in every 50 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 2: player is extracted. It's all about the team and it's 51 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: just about you know what are you? Yeah, Okay, we 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: want to win, we want to win desperately, but what 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: are you as an individual prepared to do to make 54 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: sure we win? So if Luri can extract that, if 55 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: we can play like a team, New South Wales can 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: definitely win. 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think a team reflects the coach's personality sometimes 58 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: and Laurie probably needs to flip the script this week. 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: He needs an arrogant, confident, swagger team to walk in 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: as uncle on Wednesday night at eight o'clock like Tedesco 61 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: needs to be brave, clearly needs to walk in a 62 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: sun Corp like he's about to have one of his 63 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: moments of his career. Moses needs a game that says 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: his form hasn't warranted it. So I think that's the 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: key to Laurie daily is just get your best players 66 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: in the in the mindset that they can walk in 67 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: and dominate on Sunday on Origin Night. 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, but if if you want to, you know, if 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: you want to pick a player out, and it's very difficult, 70 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: and you know, over the last week, you know, the 71 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: question has been Who's what's the key for New South 72 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: Wales to win? The key is everyone. It is everyone. 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: It's not it's not a single person, but everyone has 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: to play to their potential. So everyone that's ever had 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: a good game in Origin, and most of these players have, 76 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: even though there's a couple of young players there. Jack 77 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: boss Stock on the boog, What a huge moment for 78 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: Jack Bostock. First game is a decider at Suncorp Stadium. 79 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: I can cheer you up and spit you out. 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: But looking at Jack and how he's handled the return 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: from any reconstruction, he looks pretty cool. 82 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: He's got Origin written all over him. 83 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: He does so and he seems like the sort of 84 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: character that might thrive in that environment. And you do 85 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: get some that do, don't You like, Sometimes there's question 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: marks over players will they handle it? But some you 87 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 2: just think, oh yeah, he's got that right personality to 88 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: do it. 89 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: On the other side of the coaches, you've got Slater 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: three wins from four series. He wins this it's four 91 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: wins from five series. He's not only one of the 92 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: greatest players for Queensland, but he wins this series. He's 93 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: now spoken about. You've got mal Wayne and probably Billy 94 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: in terms of who's delivered in the coaching box for Queensland. 95 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mail did it for a long time, didn't 96 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: he in those run of wins. But Billy's done a 97 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: terrific job. You know, it was only made You've got 98 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: the better of him in twenty four, but otherwise Billy's 99 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: been almost faultless. So yeah, it's big for the coaches, 100 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: but it's big for the coaches. But you know, let's 101 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: put the responsibility on the players. And that's what I think. 102 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: In New South Wales. It's been a lot of talk 103 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: about Lorrie and you know, some of the decisions he's 104 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: made throughout the series. Let's just park that and let's go. 105 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: You know what, you group of twenty players, you're the 106 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: best in the game, be accountable and get it done. 107 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: I think the thing that has given Billy the respect 108 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: in terms of coaching is not only is a great player, 109 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: he's got the ex's and O's He understands how to 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: break down and inspire some some of the best players. 111 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: But he has bought a unity or passion to the 112 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: Queensland Jersey that covers from the border all the way 113 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: to the top of Queensland rock Hampton a couple of 114 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: days ago on Tuesday that a civic reception. Every basically 115 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: person came out to support the Queensland team. Billy has bought. 116 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: There's unity, inspiration, aspiration to the Queensland Jersey. That almost 117 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: what Arthur did in the state of Origin, what Mao 118 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: did in the mid two thousands. I think Billy's gone 119 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: to another level in terms of the importance of what 120 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: that Queensland Jersey represents. 121 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 2: In Cleveland, a couple of players and I marvel at 122 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: someone like Kurk Capble, you know who is just continues 123 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: to get it done at that level and yes, plays well, 124 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: but it's got moved on by Brisbane. You know, it's 125 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: going to be too much money, couldn't salary, cap couldn't 126 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: fit him in, goes the Warriors, but and plays well. 127 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: Not saying he doesn't play well. However, he's just one 128 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: of those players that queens Lane pick. Doesn't matter what. 129 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Because he doesn't matter what Again, you know what you're. 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: Going to get, Like Kirk Capble, I think is at 131 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: the moment is that poster boy of doesn't matter who. 132 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 2: We just put him in a Queens Lane jumper and 133 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: he'll get the job done. 134 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the Tony Carroll of Dallas Johnson, the Nate 135 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: Miles at Queens have always picked. We're talking about changes 136 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: in terms of the starting lineup. You've got the New 137 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: South Wales bench of Murray, Fan Blake, Brayle, Colin Strange. 138 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: You think Murray will start? 139 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: I'm not sure really, Like I know, there's been a 140 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: lot of calls for Cameron to start. However, you know 141 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: he played fifty odd minutes in game one or a 142 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: little bit more than that. In Game two he played 143 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: less minutes, So I don't know the fact that he 144 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: only played forty three minutes in game two says to 145 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: me that he mightn't start. I'd start him, but you know, 146 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter whether I want him to start or 147 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: I think the more time Canra Murray spends on the 148 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: field the better for New South Wales. Yeah, I think 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: he can get at least sixty five minutes out. 150 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: I think there's two parts to these two benches. I 151 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: think Queensland's bench just need to do their job and 152 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: I think New South Wales bench need to have an impact. 153 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: The reason why I say that Murray starts in the 154 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: game a lot of the bench like he needs to 155 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: play long minutes and he needs to deliver for them. 156 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: Adam fanil Blake has been pretty quiet. He needs a 157 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: skilled defenders and create some rock speed. And I think 158 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Brayley just might be the guy that ignites this performance 159 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: because if it is close and there is fatigue for 160 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: noil Blake comes on partner's paying hssle Cam Murray. Whoever, 161 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: what he did in game one, there was a couple 162 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: of contributing factors, but what he did, he went to 163 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the contest like he added a spark. He did Braylely, 164 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: I think he could be a key player for New 165 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: South Wales. 166 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again the fact that Robson played eighty minutes 167 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: in game two has me wondering how much time will 168 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: Brayley play in games. 169 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Through surely he is on before halftime? 170 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: We said, surely he's. 171 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: On before half time. 172 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: I think most was saying, surely, surely happy gets on soon. 173 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: In game two, but he didn't get on, So I 174 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: would say that Brayley, yes, absolutely gets on the field. 175 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: Now the question will be does he get on the 176 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: field before the before halftime, and that could happen, But 177 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: that depends on how the game's going too, Doesn't it 178 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: like everyone's got a game plan, like got a plan 179 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: about their interchange, But then it depends what happens in 180 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: the first ten to fifteen minutes as to determine who 181 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,479 Speaker 2: does get on earlier than what they thought what the plan. 182 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: Was, and that plan determines whether you're in front or 183 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: if you're behind. Right, because Ola Kuwatu could be that 184 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: guy that if you're chasing points you need to intimidate 185 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: Walker or Monster. He could be that guy that comes on. 186 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: Cole is probably going to be there as an insurance 187 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: policy strangers under an injury cloud. Again, he might have 188 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: to come on at some stage and chase points. Are 189 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,359 Speaker 1: you going to bring him on before halftime? 190 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: Probably not Ethan Strange now I don't think so. 191 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: No. 192 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: No, the fact that you've gone, with the fact that 193 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: New South Wales has gone with Mitch Moses to play 194 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: five eight, I don't think that changes unless something drastically 195 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: happens or there's an injury. So otherwise I think, you know, 196 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: Ethan Strange mightn't be you know, a big part of 197 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: the game plan. He might be just there as cover 198 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: as well. 199 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: So we think then that would be Murray, Adam, Phil 200 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Blake and Brayley and then it's up to stranger Oli 201 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: Kawata who comes onto that full spot. 202 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, and whether whether Barnett starts off 203 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: the bench and you know, starts up front, I'm not 204 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 2: you know, that's that's a bit of a guess. But 205 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: Fenilla Blake nine minutes in game two, you'd want to 206 00:09:59,600 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: think that. 207 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: A little bit more than that. You've got to put 208 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: responsibility than that. 209 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Give him twenty minutes, let him just burn himself out. 210 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: And almost try and predict when you're going to flow 211 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: a possession because Adam Fine Black's greatest strength is not 212 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: tackling for twenty minutes. No, it's running from the back fence. 213 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: So it's hard to do sense that possession is coming. 214 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: Get the big valor on. 215 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true. But I think I'mali's club form 216 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: deserves that he gets another crack. 217 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: And he would intimidate Monster and Walker what he did 218 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: to Monthster when Melbourne played manly like just the fear 219 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: factor of Okau running too your inside shoulder. You're going 220 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: to check for longer and not worry about to ESCO about. 221 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: The backs because you're not stopping with your arm. And 222 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: if you've slid sideways and you're going a bit too 223 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: hard laterally, well you're not going to stop. 224 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: And what about Queensland bench, So I said that they 225 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: just need to do their jobs. Ploth will play Carrigan, 226 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: he won't start. I think you'll stay on the bench. 227 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: I think they're consistently Flegler, Fussen, Malooi and Codder. Nana 228 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: is a good inclusion. What he did in Talmlolo's Milestone 229 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: game was pretty special. I think Nana plays Plath and 230 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: Carrigan and then that fourth player depends on what the 231 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: game is doing. If they need points, Walsh's in if 232 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: they need to defend. I think trentley Ero is the 233 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: guy that tackles himself to a standstill. 234 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: Yeah no, I agree with the selection of Nanai's Yeah 235 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: we know what sort of weapon he is, so he 236 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: can do anything, you know. And the kicking game for 237 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: Queensland work to treat in Melbourne that crossfield kicks, whether 238 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: it was Sam or whether it was Cameron Munster. And 239 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: we know how good Nanai is on the ground and 240 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: in the air, so he's definitely an impact player for Queensland. 241 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: All Right, the key matchup s here, Greg, did you 242 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: think before this series started that Walker Sam Walker would 243 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: outplay Nathan Cleary. 244 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: No, like that Now. I just thought, well, I think 245 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: that was just question marks about how Sam would handle it. 246 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if I had a whole lot, I 247 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: thought that, Yeah, he seems to have that personality which 248 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: we just spoke about with Jack Bustock, as someone confident 249 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: enough to go out there and say I belong and 250 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: that's how he's playing. 251 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: I think if Sam was going to get a bucket 252 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: load of possession like in game one, he was always 253 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: going to come up with a play or a kick, right. 254 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: The thing that surprised me and I didn't see this 255 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: before the series started. I didn't see Sam Walker out 256 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: defending Nathan and I didn't see Sam Walker game management 257 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: kicking outperforming Nathan. That's the two key parts of Sam 258 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: Walker has delivered for me. 259 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: Well, I thought there was enough questions around Sam coming 260 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: into Origin and a lot of it was around his defense. 261 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 2: I thought his defense in the month six weeks coming 262 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: into Origin, I thought it had improved noticeably. 263 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: And I think criticism sharpens the sword Greg. 264 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: So if there was a question mark over Sam, it 265 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: was about his defense, and I think he made the 266 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: statement in his club games to go, you know what, 267 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: it's not a problem. 268 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know Nathan better than most like he like 269 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: from the outside looking he is a stut like. He 270 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: is so good and he has the ability to roll 271 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: in a sun car. But have a moment in his 272 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: career that while Lewis Freddy, all the great players have had, 273 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: what does he need to get right to deliver for 274 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: New South Wales. 275 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting, isn't it, Because it's the combination of Tedesco, 276 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: Moses and Cleary and Robson that didn't seem to work. 277 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 2: And I mean the combination. Yes, individually, you know there 278 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: was mistackles. They didn't combine well. But I think Nathan 279 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: has to has to just own the game for New 280 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: South Wales. He has to be the one that gets 281 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 2: the most touches and I think he has to play 282 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: like a genuine seven. Now how that fits in with Mitch, 283 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure. But Nathan just has to play 284 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: his game. 285 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: I think that's right because Nathan looked like he's trying 286 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: to do everyone else's role and do the right thing 287 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: by the team. But to be a good team player 288 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: you need to deliver in your strengths as an individual first. 289 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: Like he's a freak, he can definitely turn up and 290 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: be playing the match for New South Wales. Of course, 291 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: absolutely it can. And Walker has the same ability because yeah, 292 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: he's not going to be overawed by some uncle like 293 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: he actually will thrive in this environment. It's just whether 294 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: queens I ain't get the possession for sand or attack 295 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: or if I'm Nathan, I'm using up Hudson Young and 296 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: Liam Martin to go after the Queensland half. 297 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And I think with the selection of Jack 298 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: boss Stock that gives New South Wales targets on both 299 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: sides of the field. I think no one need to 300 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: on an Jack Bostock terrific in the air and Nathan's 301 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: kicking game along with Mitch of course, but they're kicks. 302 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: If they ain't land him on the try line, that 303 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: might be where points come from. And likewise, and we've 304 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: always spoken about Queensland's rushing defense, early kick. When you 305 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: get down there, girl, he just get them. 306 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: Thinking you've been part of the coaching staff before. What 307 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: are you saying to Hudson Young and Martin when they 308 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: come up against Walker and Monster on Wednesday. 309 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: Well, they're just got to run over the top of them. 310 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: That's simple as that. Like it's got to be aggression, 311 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: aggression and smarts, but aggression and involvement from both of them. 312 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: There's okay to give away a couple of little penalties, 313 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: not too bad that it's a sin bin, but literally 314 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: take the handbrake off and get stuck in like physically. 315 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: I think was a Game two where Hudson Young got 316 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: a hold of Walker at one stage. But it just 317 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: needs a bit and Young has spoken a big game 318 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: this week. He has basically said that he is going 319 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: after Sam Walker. 320 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well I think both sets, you know, and 321 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: we know that it's it's almost you know, who blinks first, yeah, 322 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: type attitude. So you've just got to be aggressive. If 323 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: you're not aggressive, you're not that's that's not origin. 324 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: And only one of the things that's been good for 325 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: Queensland is the spine attack, like the way that Harry 326 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: Grant runs and then Kaylin Ponger and Sam Walker react 327 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: to that. I've been surprised they've broken down New South 328 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Well's edge defense pretty pretty easily, like Ponger. Yes there's 329 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: no Tony Stagg, but Ponger has really attacked the New 330 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: South Wales centers. 331 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: You could have given any one of those four players 332 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: the man of the match out of that game two 333 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: game I thought Harry Grant was like at times unstoppable. 334 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: Cameron Munster was brilliant. The tactic of you know, the 335 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: two wide kick really isolated New South Wales wingers and 336 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: Kylen Ponger. You're right, once they made a once there 337 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: was a half break, and once there was a quick 338 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: play the ball it went to the right people and 339 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: it went to one of the Spine players. 340 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: And Mitch Moses some question marks around his form and 341 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: the lead up wasn't very good for paramatter against South's 342 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: he has delivered at sun Corp in a game three before. 343 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Jez is going to have to play out of his 344 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: skin to get this victory. 345 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, the first thing for both 346 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: of her coop would be make sure you get your 347 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: defense right now. I'm sure they go out, you know, 348 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: I know Nathan like that mindset is get you get 349 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: your defense and your kicking game on, and then the 350 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: game will. You'll work your way into the game. And 351 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: I think that's the same with Mitch. If both halves, 352 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: you know, defend like their lives on the line, you 353 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: know they've both got the games in attack. I think 354 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: as long as there's that, you know you need things 355 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 2: to go your way, you need payinhards you need and 356 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: I did, like you know what, I read Joey's article 357 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 2: about the new South Wales side pushing together very very 358 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: one out, one out running, Well, that's that'll get you nowhere. 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: And Mitch does hav any his kid bag like what 360 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: he did for that try at Suncorp. I think the 361 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: key for Moses is he's got Hudson Young there. He 362 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: needs to run the ball like you did for that 363 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: try at Suncrp. He needs to play a short pass 364 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: the Hudson Young way more than playing out the back 365 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: to de Desko in the first twenty minutes. He needs 366 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: to He's a bit two past centric. He's not a 367 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: half back in this team. He is a running threat 368 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: and a ballplayer to the back roll. So he just 369 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: needs to be super aggressive and run the ball or 370 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: short pass, run the ball, short buss then the game 371 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: will open up for Tedesco after about thirty minutes if 372 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: he wants to play out the back. 373 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: Yep, there's no need to complicate that. 374 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: Nuts No, give me a little bit of what is 375 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: crucial for New South Wales, like if they are to win. 376 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: We've spoken a couple of the key areas, but just 377 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: what do they have to do to get this victory? 378 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: I thought the areas that they fell down in or 379 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: they were beaten comfortably by Queensland. And it's based like 380 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: the speed of your defensive line. I think Queensland have 381 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 2: won that hands down so far this series and even 382 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: last year their line speed was much better than New 383 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: South Wales. New South Wales have to time things better 384 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: and get off their line and get in the face 385 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: of the Queenslanders. And on the flip side, it's all 386 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: about creating momentum. If there's enough momentum from the like 387 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 2: side Barnett and Hassen, Yo, there's no doubt that there's 388 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: attacking this side that can score points against Queensland. So 389 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: it's basic stuff and that's what wins origin games. Aggression, 390 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: speed of line, defensively and a bit of momentum and 391 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: go forward and the right plays getting the ball after that. 392 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't think New South Wales can chase down points 393 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: at some court, so I think they need to get 394 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: to the front. They need to start fast. They need 395 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: to get that scoreboard ticking over because if they're down 396 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: by ten twelve and that sun Corp Stadium is getting 397 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: behind queens it's going to be very difficult for them 398 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: to get the possession of the confidence that they need. 399 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: On the flip side, Queensland just can't rely on history 400 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: and form and everything to deliver. You run out at 401 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: sun Court. The intensity and the passion for that Queensland 402 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: Jersey hits you in the face. When you run out 403 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: on the Son court, you know you're alive as a 404 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: footy player. But I agree with you. I think their 405 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: line speed, their physicality, their intensity has outshone that of 406 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: New South Wales for the series so far. That is 407 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: the absolute key for Coeens. If they do that in 408 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes, if. 409 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: They can repeat that, they'll be good. They'll be hard 410 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: to We're right where we want you, Blake, where the underdog? 411 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: Where the underdog? We love it. We love being the underdogs. 412 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: We're never the underdog. 413 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, funny, all the noise, all the feedback, all the 414 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: negativity around New South Wales, they are still one game 415 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: away from all that being completely forgotten about and elevated 416 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: to argue with their greatest win. Because if they do that, 417 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: that's the storyline. Yeah, that is the storyline. 418 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: It would be their greatest win because they at the 419 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: moment seem that far behind. 420 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: What what predictions? What's happening here? Greg? I want you 421 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: to be the crystal ball and on Thursday morning, everyone 422 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: just going Gregor, Alexander, you are star. What do you 423 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: got Nostra damas who's winning? Obviously New South Wales? 424 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: Yea New South Wales. I think there'll be it'll be 425 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: there'll be points in it. I don't think I don't 426 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: think it'll be low scoring. I think both teams have 427 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: two good attacking wise twenty four to twenty. 428 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Let me just write this down records, YEP, player of 429 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: the match, give me a key moment and. 430 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: I've plucked for Nathan so far in both games, so 431 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: damn it, I'm going to stick with him. Nathan Cleary 432 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: if he wins playing probably wylaws. 433 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: Man I'm going to go a little bit different. I 434 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: think this goes to golden point, Greg right. I think 435 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Sam Walker is going to kick a field goal twenty 436 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: three to twenty two. I think Ruben Gotter ends up 437 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: being the player of the match because it's just this 438 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: slog fest that someone that defends for long periods of 439 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: time ends up being the guy. 440 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 2: Against the work rate. 441 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah. And if Sam Walker kicks a field goal, 442 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: he just might be the guy that gets the wond Lewis. 443 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: Mal Okay, he wins the game and wins the Worry 444 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: Laws Medal. 445 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: And the final starting to take shape. Now Brisbane gone. 446 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: I thought they were gone before that result against the Sharks. 447 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: They won't be playing finals. I'll tell you what your 448 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: mob no origin players up against South Sydney. They just 449 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: you can't say this because you buy it. But that 450 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: is a great club when you lose your best players 451 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: and you still elevate your performance too. I had a 452 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: couple losses leading in, but what Edwards did as the 453 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: leader and your man Jenkins like he's going to break 454 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: the records this year. 455 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: Milkie Jenkins twenty five tries tricks, even if one of 456 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: them probably wasn't a try, but yeah, scored three and 457 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: they were three second half tries. I was a little 458 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 2: bit worried about because Souths I thought were good in 459 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: the first half, even though they got off to a 460 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: rough start when Cadie got sinbin. The Panthers were able 461 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: to go up score a try against twelve men. I 462 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: thought Ashton Ward, Cody and Joi Gray were causing some 463 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 2: problems on the edges. But Penrith played a great second 464 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: half twenty one or twenty three. They kept the ball 465 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: down that end of the field and were able to 466 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: come up with enough points to win the game. 467 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: Outs of Flighty, their best football is good enough, the 468 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: worst is it's pretty bad. And he's talking about Flighty 469 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: the Tigers like they're going to play finals for the 470 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: first time and they see that they've got the Dragons 471 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: and you go, well, that's a tick. That's two points 472 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: that we should be bagging. Like I think they missed 473 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: the finals now after that, I don't think they can 474 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: win enough games and they've got the Dragons again, Like, 475 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: there's just games that you must bank if you want 476 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: to finish the finals. And that was one that was 477 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: a poor performance. 478 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, no Jerome and Appy left the field 479 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: and the Tigers were winning ten to six right up 480 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: and till I think VAL's first try, which was the 481 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: sixty eighth minute. Adam Dewey was good for the Tigers, 482 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: but in saying that the Dragons looked the better side 483 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: right from the start they got up the field with 484 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: these they couldn't convert possession and field position into points 485 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: and that's been their problem all year. However, they were 486 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: the better team and ended up winning, you know, with 487 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: a couple of tries to vow at the end of 488 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: the game, Tigers aren't a bit of strife depending on 489 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 2: how bad that injuried O happy is. 490 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: And Dean Young had been saying that he had been 491 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: saying that we have been competing, we are improving, but 492 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: we just haven't had a bit of a luck and 493 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: that turned around. Are they're attacked, that's the best they've 494 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: attacked probably since that Broncos win. And then you talk 495 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: about teams down the bottom ladder surprising others on the weekend, 496 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: Eels versus Manly again, Manly, that's a tick will beat 497 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: the Eels that down the bottom they're not playing all 498 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: that well. But the Eel spine in the first thirty minutes. 499 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: The goal line defense from the Eels was the best part. 500 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: It kept them in the contest. Then mainly got those 501 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: points just before halftime. But what with no Mitchell, Moses, 502 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Iongi Pezant Falkman, they all had an impact in the 503 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: second half running the ball, score and tries. That's a 504 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: big win for those guys. 505 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, massive win. A little bit of a question mark 506 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 2: now over Manly, I need two wins of their last 507 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: five up against a Neil side. You're right, they've been 508 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 2: knocked around by injury more than any other club. But 509 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: Iongie in particular. You know a couple of the try 510 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: savers that he pulled off, he was he was brilliant. 511 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: Falkland was great. Pezzets scored that try at the back 512 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: end of the game, but Manly just played themselves out 513 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: of the game with the errors. 514 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: Manly Turbo was good but just couldn't get over the line. 515 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: I think they missed, okay, miss Cola. They just need 516 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: their best players available. I think give them another couple 517 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: of weeks just to turn around, because one thing that 518 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Karen Forren has done when he's lost, he's turned that 519 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: team around and won the next week. Like he's always 520 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: seems to have fixed it. Nights Dolphins, no origin players. 521 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: It was basically shoot out for the top. 522 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 2: Four, which Newcastle now find themselves in the top four, 523 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: winning three in a row. Newcastle's performances haven't been great, 524 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: but they've been getting wins, which you know at this 525 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: time of the year. Well we'll just take it and move. 526 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: We said about the Tigers and ponger and. 527 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: Ponger and best to come back into that side. The 528 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: Dolphins were without seven, they were missing a lot of 529 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: key players and pulled it off. They thriled twelve nil 530 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: and Dylan Brown kicked his first field. 531 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: Goal, almost butchered. It was all over the place that day. 532 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: They had ten minutes. They had ten minutes to kick 533 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 2: a field goal. You thought, good, someone should try and 534 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 2: set up Now. 535 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: Can someone just go to the left post and kick 536 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: the ball place? I know what is? 537 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: What are we going with? 538 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: The crazy? Crazy? Crazy? Thanks Greg, great, Thanks good
