WEBVTT - Origin III preview

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, Gregory Kronk and Bran has got a bit in

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>a ring to it. Nice little cameo here for you mate,

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>happy to be here. Well, last time Matthew Johnson was

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>seen walking out of a dive bar in Oxford Street.

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I've got that's what you're here exactly

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>happy to do it.

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>But queens adverse New South Wales stages set for Wednesday night.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.639
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales win, it goes down as one of

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>their greatest victories.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>It goes down as one of our greatest victories because

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>at the moment it looks a million miles away. That's

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>why I just think, you know, off the back of yeah,

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 2>we played well, but for twenty three minutes when Queensland

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>were down to twelve men, New South Wales didn't play

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 2>well as a team. Therefore, individually, you know, I thought

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 2>we struggled and I've sort of said from right from

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the game one win. You know, you can tink around

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 2>with the side, but it doesn't matter who we pick

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>unless we unless we play like a team. It doesn't

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>matter who's in the side, and we haven't played like

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>a team until the twenty three minutes when New South

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Wales had the numbers advantage, and.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a fair point because if you're going to go

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to sun corpor and win up there, it needs to

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>be not necessarily an individual brilliant player, it needs to

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>be twenty players. The coaches to get it right because

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>form history one game three last year. But as you said,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>can they win? Will they win?

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>They can win? Absolutely, of course they can. Like when

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you look at the players in that lineup, New south

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Wales can win, there's no doubt about it. But their

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>performances as a team so far you know that. You know,

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>that's why they're underdogs.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I agree they can win. Will they win? I think

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>comes down to Laurie. What can Laurie do to bring

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>that team together? Hasn't got a great record at origin.

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>He is one of the greatest players that's ever worn

0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a Blue jersey. Let's pretend that this is it's likely

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be his last. What does he need to

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>get right to make sure that New South Wales played

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the game of their life?

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you know, the preparation needs to be

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>as good. He needs to have created an atmosphere and

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>prep's nearly done. You know, there's only forty eight hours

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>or just a little bit over forty eight hours now

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>before we play the game, So I think, you know,

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>most of Laurie's work will have been done. They'll have

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>their last training session and he's just got to make

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>sure that, you know, every bit of potential in every

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>player is extracted. It's all about the team and it's

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>just about you know what are you? Yeah, Okay, we

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>want to win, we want to win desperately, but what

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>are you as an individual prepared to do to make

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>sure we win? So if Luri can extract that, if

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>we can play like a team, New South Wales can

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>definitely win.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think a team reflects the coach's personality sometimes

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>and Laurie probably needs to flip the script this week.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>He needs an arrogant, confident, swagger team to walk in

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>as uncle on Wednesday night at eight o'clock like Tedesco

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>needs to be brave, clearly needs to walk in a

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>sun Corp like he's about to have one of his

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>moments of his career. Moses needs a game that says

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>his form hasn't warranted it. So I think that's the

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>key to Laurie daily is just get your best players

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 1>in the in the mindset that they can walk in

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and dominate on Sunday on Origin Night.

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but if if you want to, you know, if

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you want to pick a player out, and it's very difficult,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and you know, over the last week, you know, the

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>question has been Who's what's the key for New South

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Wales to win? The key is everyone. It is everyone.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not it's not a single person, but everyone has

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to play to their potential. So everyone that's ever had

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a good game in Origin, and most of these players have,

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>even though there's a couple of young players there. Jack

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>boss Stock on the boog, What a huge moment for

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Jack Bostock. First game is a decider at Suncorp Stadium.

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I can cheer you up and spit you out.

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>But looking at Jack and how he's handled the return

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>from any reconstruction, he looks pretty cool.

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>He's got Origin written all over him.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>He does so and he seems like the sort of

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>character that might thrive in that environment. And you do

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>get some that do, don't You like, Sometimes there's question

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>marks over players will they handle it? But some you

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 2>just think, oh yeah, he's got that right personality to

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>On the other side of the coaches, you've got Slater

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>three wins from four series. He wins this it's four

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>wins from five series. He's not only one of the

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>greatest players for Queensland, but he wins this series. He's

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 1>now spoken about. You've got mal Wayne and probably Billy

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>in terms of who's delivered in the coaching box for Queensland.

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Mail did it for a long time, didn't

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>he in those run of wins. But Billy's done a

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>terrific job. You know, it was only made You've got

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the better of him in twenty four, but otherwise Billy's

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>been almost faultless. So yeah, it's big for the coaches,

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 2>but it's big for the coaches. But you know, let's

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 2>put the responsibility on the players. And that's what I think.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>In New South Wales. It's been a lot of talk

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>about Lorrie and you know, some of the decisions he's

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 2>made throughout the series. Let's just park that and let's go.

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>You know what, you group of twenty players, you're the

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>best in the game, be accountable and get it done.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the thing that has given Billy the respect

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of coaching is not only is a great player,

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>he's got the ex's and O's He understands how to

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>break down and inspire some some of the best players.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But he has bought a unity or passion to the

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Queensland Jersey that covers from the border all the way

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>to the top of Queensland rock Hampton a couple of

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>days ago on Tuesday that a civic reception. Every basically

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>person came out to support the Queensland team. Billy has bought.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>There's unity, inspiration, aspiration to the Queensland Jersey. That almost

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>what Arthur did in the state of Origin, what Mao

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>did in the mid two thousands. I think Billy's gone

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to another level in terms of the importance of what

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that Queensland Jersey represents.

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 2>In Cleveland, a couple of players and I marvel at

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>someone like Kurk Capble, you know who is just continues

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to get it done at that level and yes, plays well,

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>but it's got moved on by Brisbane. You know, it's

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 2>going to be too much money, couldn't salary, cap couldn't

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>fit him in, goes the Warriors, but and plays well.

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Not saying he doesn't play well. However, he's just one

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 2>of those players that queens Lane pick. Doesn't matter what.

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Because he doesn't matter what Again, you know what you're.

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Going to get, Like Kirk Capble, I think is at

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the moment is that poster boy of doesn't matter who.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 2>We just put him in a Queens Lane jumper and

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>he'll get the job done.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's the Tony Carroll of Dallas Johnson, the Nate

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Miles at Queens have always picked. We're talking about changes

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the starting lineup. You've got the New

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>South Wales bench of Murray, Fan Blake, Brayle, Colin Strange.

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You think Murray will start?

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure really, Like I know, there's been a

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of calls for Cameron to start. However, you know

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 2>he played fifty odd minutes in game one or a

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>little bit more than that. In Game two he played

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>less minutes, So I don't know the fact that he

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>only played forty three minutes in game two says to

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>me that he mightn't start. I'd start him, but you know,

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter whether I want him to start or

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the more time Canra Murray spends on the

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 2>field the better for New South Wales. Yeah, I think

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>he can get at least sixty five minutes out.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I think there's two parts to these two benches. I

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>think Queensland's bench just need to do their job and

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I think New South Wales bench need to have an impact.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I say that Murray starts in the

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>game a lot of the bench like he needs to

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>play long minutes and he needs to deliver for them.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Adam fanil Blake has been pretty quiet. He needs a

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>skilled defenders and create some rock speed. And I think

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Brayley just might be the guy that ignites this performance

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>because if it is close and there is fatigue for

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>noil Blake comes on partner's paying hssle Cam Murray. Whoever,

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>what he did in game one, there was a couple

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of contributing factors, but what he did, he went to

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the contest like he added a spark. He did Braylely,

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he could be a key player for New

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>South Wales.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again the fact that Robson played eighty minutes

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>in game two has me wondering how much time will

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Brayley play in games.

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Through surely he is on before halftime?

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 2>We said, surely he's.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>On before half time.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I think most was saying, surely, surely happy gets on soon.

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>In game two, but he didn't get on, So I

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>would say that Brayley, yes, absolutely gets on the field.

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Now the question will be does he get on the

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>field before the before halftime, and that could happen, But

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>that depends on how the game's going too, Doesn't it

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>like everyone's got a game plan, like got a plan

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 2>about their interchange, But then it depends what happens in

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 2>the first ten to fifteen minutes as to determine who

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.479
<v Speaker 2>does get on earlier than what they thought what the plan.

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Was, and that plan determines whether you're in front or

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're behind. Right, because Ola Kuwatu could be that

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>guy that if you're chasing points you need to intimidate

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Walker or Monster. He could be that guy that comes on.

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Cole is probably going to be there as an insurance

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>policy strangers under an injury cloud. Again, he might have

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to come on at some stage and chase points. Are

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.359
<v Speaker 1>you going to bring him on before halftime?

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Probably not Ethan Strange now I don't think so.

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 2>No, the fact that you've gone, with the fact that

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 2>New South Wales has gone with Mitch Moses to play

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>five eight, I don't think that changes unless something drastically

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 2>happens or there's an injury. So otherwise I think, you know,

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Strange mightn't be you know, a big part of

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the game plan. He might be just there as cover

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>So we think then that would be Murray, Adam, Phil

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Blake and Brayley and then it's up to stranger Oli

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Kawata who comes onto that full spot.

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you know, and whether whether Barnett starts off

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the bench and you know, starts up front, I'm not

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's that's a bit of a guess. But

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Fenilla Blake nine minutes in game two, you'd want to

0:09:59.600 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 2>think that.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>A little bit more than that. You've got to put

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>responsibility than that.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Give him twenty minutes, let him just burn himself out.

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>And almost try and predict when you're going to flow

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a possession because Adam Fine Black's greatest strength is not

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>tackling for twenty minutes. No, it's running from the back fence.

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's hard to do sense that possession is coming.

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Get the big valor on.

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's true. But I think I'mali's club form

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>deserves that he gets another crack.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.839
<v Speaker 1>And he would intimidate Monster and Walker what he did

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to Monthster when Melbourne played manly like just the fear

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>factor of Okau running too your inside shoulder. You're going

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to check for longer and not worry about to ESCO about.

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>The backs because you're not stopping with your arm. And

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>if you've slid sideways and you're going a bit too

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 2>hard laterally, well you're not going to stop.

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 1>And what about Queensland bench, So I said that they

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>just need to do their jobs. Ploth will play Carrigan,

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>he won't start. I think you'll stay on the bench.

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they're consistently Flegler, Fussen, Malooi and Codder. Nana

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>is a good inclusion. What he did in Talmlolo's Milestone

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>game was pretty special. I think Nana plays Plath and

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Carrigan and then that fourth player depends on what the

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>game is doing. If they need points, Walsh's in if

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 1>they need to defend. I think trentley Ero is the

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 1>guy that tackles himself to a standstill.

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, I agree with the selection of Nanai's Yeah

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>we know what sort of weapon he is, so he

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>can do anything, you know. And the kicking game for

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Queensland work to treat in Melbourne that crossfield kicks, whether

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>it was Sam or whether it was Cameron Munster. And

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>we know how good Nanai is on the ground and

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>in the air, so he's definitely an impact player for Queensland.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>All Right, the key matchup s here, Greg, did you

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>think before this series started that Walker Sam Walker would

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>outplay Nathan Cleary.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>No, like that Now. I just thought, well, I think

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that was just question marks about how Sam would handle it.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I had a whole lot, I

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>thought that, Yeah, he seems to have that personality which

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>we just spoke about with Jack Bustock, as someone confident

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>enough to go out there and say I belong and

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that's how he's playing.

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I think if Sam was going to get a bucket

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>load of possession like in game one, he was always

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>going to come up with a play or a kick, right.

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The thing that surprised me and I didn't see this

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>before the series started. I didn't see Sam Walker out

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>defending Nathan and I didn't see Sam Walker game management

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>kicking outperforming Nathan. That's the two key parts of Sam

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Walker has delivered for me.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I thought there was enough questions around Sam coming

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>into Origin and a lot of it was around his defense.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought his defense in the month six weeks coming

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>into Origin, I thought it had improved noticeably.

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think criticism sharpens the sword Greg.

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 2>So if there was a question mark over Sam, it

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>was about his defense, and I think he made the

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 2>statement in his club games to go, you know what,

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not a problem.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know Nathan better than most like he like

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>from the outside looking he is a stut like. He

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is so good and he has the ability to roll

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in a sun car. But have a moment in his

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>career that while Lewis Freddy, all the great players have had,

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what does he need to get right to deliver for

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales.

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's interesting, isn't it, Because it's the combination of Tedesco,

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Moses and Cleary and Robson that didn't seem to work.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>And I mean the combination. Yes, individually, you know there

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>was mistackles. They didn't combine well. But I think Nathan

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>has to has to just own the game for New

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>South Wales. He has to be the one that gets

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the most touches and I think he has to play

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>like a genuine seven. Now how that fits in with Mitch,

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not quite sure. But Nathan just has to play

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 2>his game.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's right because Nathan looked like he's trying

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to do everyone else's role and do the right thing

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>by the team. But to be a good team player

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you need to deliver in your strengths as an individual first.

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Like he's a freak, he can definitely turn up and

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>be playing the match for New South Wales. Of course,

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>absolutely it can. And Walker has the same ability because yeah,

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to be overawed by some uncle like

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>he actually will thrive in this environment. It's just whether

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>queens I ain't get the possession for sand or attack

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>or if I'm Nathan, I'm using up Hudson Young and

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Liam Martin to go after the Queensland half.

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, And I think with the selection of Jack

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>boss Stock that gives New South Wales targets on both

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>sides of the field. I think no one need to

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>on an Jack Bostock terrific in the air and Nathan's

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 2>kicking game along with Mitch of course, but they're kicks.

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 2>If they ain't land him on the try line, that

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>might be where points come from. And likewise, and we've

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 2>always spoken about Queensland's rushing defense, early kick. When you

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>get down there, girl, he just get them.

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Thinking you've been part of the coaching staff before. What

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>are you saying to Hudson Young and Martin when they

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>come up against Walker and Monster on Wednesday.

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're just got to run over the top of them.

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>That's simple as that. Like it's got to be aggression,

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 2>aggression and smarts, but aggression and involvement from both of them.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>There's okay to give away a couple of little penalties,

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not too bad that it's a sin bin, but literally

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 1>take the handbrake off and get stuck in like physically.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I think was a Game two where Hudson Young got

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a hold of Walker at one stage. But it just

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>needs a bit and Young has spoken a big game

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this week. He has basically said that he is going

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>after Sam Walker.

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, well I think both sets, you know, and

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>we know that it's it's almost you know, who blinks first, yeah,

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>type attitude. So you've just got to be aggressive. If

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not aggressive, you're not that's that's not origin.

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And only one of the things that's been good for

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Queensland is the spine attack, like the way that Harry

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Grant runs and then Kaylin Ponger and Sam Walker react

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to that. I've been surprised they've broken down New South

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Well's edge defense pretty pretty easily, like Ponger. Yes there's

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>no Tony Stagg, but Ponger has really attacked the New

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>South Wales centers.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>You could have given any one of those four players

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the man of the match out of that game two

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>game I thought Harry Grant was like at times unstoppable.

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Cameron Munster was brilliant. The tactic of you know, the

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 2>two wide kick really isolated New South Wales wingers and

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Kylen Ponger. You're right, once they made a once there

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 2>was a half break, and once there was a quick

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>play the ball it went to the right people and

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>it went to one of the Spine players.

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>And Mitch Moses some question marks around his form and

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the lead up wasn't very good for paramatter against South's

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>he has delivered at sun Corp in a game three before.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Jez is going to have to play out of his

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>skin to get this victory.

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, you know, the first thing for both

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>of her coop would be make sure you get your

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>defense right now. I'm sure they go out, you know,

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I know Nathan like that mindset is get you get

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>your defense and your kicking game on, and then the

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 2>game will. You'll work your way into the game. And

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the same with Mitch. If both halves,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, defend like their lives on the line, you

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 2>know they've both got the games in attack. I think

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>as long as there's that, you know you need things

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.719
<v Speaker 2>to go your way, you need payinhards you need and

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I did, like you know what, I read Joey's article

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>about the new South Wales side pushing together very very

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>one out, one out running, Well, that's that'll get you nowhere.

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And Mitch does hav any his kid bag like what

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>he did for that try at Suncorp. I think the

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>key for Moses is he's got Hudson Young there. He

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>needs to run the ball like you did for that

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>try at Suncrp. He needs to play a short pass

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the Hudson Young way more than playing out the back

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 1>to de Desko in the first twenty minutes. He needs

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to He's a bit two past centric. He's not a

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>half back in this team. He is a running threat

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and a ballplayer to the back roll. So he just

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>needs to be super aggressive and run the ball or

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>short pass, run the ball, short buss then the game

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.639
<v Speaker 1>will open up for Tedesco after about thirty minutes if

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>he wants to play out the back.

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Yep, there's no need to complicate that.

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Nuts No, give me a little bit of what is

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>crucial for New South Wales, like if they are to win.

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>We've spoken a couple of the key areas, but just

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 1>what do they have to do to get this victory?

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought the areas that they fell down in or

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 2>they were beaten comfortably by Queensland. And it's based like

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the speed of your defensive line. I think Queensland have

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>won that hands down so far this series and even

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 2>last year their line speed was much better than New

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>South Wales. New South Wales have to time things better

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and get off their line and get in the face

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Queenslanders. And on the flip side, it's all

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>about creating momentum. If there's enough momentum from the like

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 2>side Barnett and Hassen, Yo, there's no doubt that there's

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>attacking this side that can score points against Queensland. So

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 2>it's basic stuff and that's what wins origin games. Aggression,

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>speed of line, defensively and a bit of momentum and

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>go forward and the right plays getting the ball after that.

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think New South Wales can chase down points

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.360
<v Speaker 1>at some court, so I think they need to get

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to the front. They need to start fast. They need

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to get that scoreboard ticking over because if they're down

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 1>by ten twelve and that sun Corp Stadium is getting

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>behind queens it's going to be very difficult for them

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to get the possession of the confidence that they need.

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>On the flip side, Queensland just can't rely on history

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and form and everything to deliver. You run out at

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.360
<v Speaker 1>sun Court. The intensity and the passion for that Queensland

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Jersey hits you in the face. When you run out

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>on the Son court, you know you're alive as a

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>footy player. But I agree with you. I think their

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>line speed, their physicality, their intensity has outshone that of

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales for the series so far. That is

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the absolute key for Coeens. If they do that in

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>the first twenty minutes, if.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 2>They can repeat that, they'll be good. They'll be hard

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 2>to We're right where we want you, Blake, where the underdog?

0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Where the underdog? We love it. We love being the underdogs.

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>We're never the underdog.

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, funny, all the noise, all the feedback, all the

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>negativity around New South Wales, they are still one game

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 1>away from all that being completely forgotten about and elevated

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to argue with their greatest win. Because if they do that,

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that's the storyline. Yeah, that is the storyline.

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It would be their greatest win because they at the

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 2>moment seem that far behind.

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>What what predictions? What's happening here? Greg? I want you

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 1>to be the crystal ball and on Thursday morning, everyone

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 1>just going Gregor, Alexander, you are star. What do you

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>got Nostra damas who's winning? Obviously New South Wales?

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Yea New South Wales. I think there'll be it'll be

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 2>there'll be points in it. I don't think I don't

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>think it'll be low scoring. I think both teams have

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 2>two good attacking wise twenty four to twenty.

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me just write this down records, YEP, player of

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.199
<v Speaker 1>the match, give me a key moment and.

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I've plucked for Nathan so far in both games, so

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 2>damn it, I'm going to stick with him. Nathan Cleary

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>if he wins playing probably wylaws.

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Man I'm going to go a little bit different. I

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 1>think this goes to golden point, Greg right. I think

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Sam Walker is going to kick a field goal twenty

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>three to twenty two. I think Ruben Gotter ends up

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>being the player of the match because it's just this

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>slog fest that someone that defends for long periods of

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 1>time ends up being the guy.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Against the work rate.

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yeah. And if Sam Walker kicks a field goal,

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>he just might be the guy that gets the wond Lewis.

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Mal Okay, he wins the game and wins the Worry

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Laws Medal.

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And the final starting to take shape. Now Brisbane gone.

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were gone before that result against the Sharks.

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 1>They won't be playing finals. I'll tell you what your

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>mob no origin players up against South Sydney. They just

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't say this because you buy it. But that

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>is a great club when you lose your best players

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and you still elevate your performance too. I had a

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>couple losses leading in, but what Edwards did as the

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>leader and your man Jenkins like he's going to break

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the records this year.

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Milkie Jenkins twenty five tries tricks, even if one of

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 2>them probably wasn't a try, but yeah, scored three and

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 2>they were three second half tries. I was a little

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 2>bit worried about because Souths I thought were good in

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the first half, even though they got off to a

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>rough start when Cadie got sinbin. The Panthers were able

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 2>to go up score a try against twelve men. I

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 2>thought Ashton Ward, Cody and Joi Gray were causing some

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 2>problems on the edges. But Penrith played a great second

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>half twenty one or twenty three. They kept the ball

0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>down that end of the field and were able to

0:22:58.400 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 2>come up with enough points to win the game.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Outs of Flighty, their best football is good enough, the

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.640
<v Speaker 1>worst is it's pretty bad. And he's talking about Flighty

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the Tigers like they're going to play finals for the

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 1>first time and they see that they've got the Dragons

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and you go, well, that's a tick. That's two points

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that we should be bagging. Like I think they missed

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the finals now after that, I don't think they can

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>win enough games and they've got the Dragons again, Like,

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>there's just games that you must bank if you want

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to finish the finals. And that was one that was

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:27.719
<v Speaker 1>a poor performance.

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, look, no Jerome and Appy left the field

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and the Tigers were winning ten to six right up

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 2>and till I think VAL's first try, which was the

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>sixty eighth minute. Adam Dewey was good for the Tigers,

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 2>but in saying that the Dragons looked the better side

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 2>right from the start they got up the field with

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:51.160
<v Speaker 2>these they couldn't convert possession and field position into points

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's been their problem all year. However, they were

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the better team and ended up winning, you know, with

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 2>a couple of tries to vow at the end of

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 2>the game, Tigers aren't a bit of strife depending on

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>how bad that injuried O happy is.

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And Dean Young had been saying that he had been

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 1>saying that we have been competing, we are improving, but

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 1>we just haven't had a bit of a luck and

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that turned around. Are they're attacked, that's the best they've

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 1>attacked probably since that Broncos win. And then you talk

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.959
<v Speaker 1>about teams down the bottom ladder surprising others on the weekend,

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Eels versus Manly again, Manly, that's a tick will beat

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the Eels that down the bottom they're not playing all

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>that well. But the Eel spine in the first thirty minutes.

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>The goal line defense from the Eels was the best part.

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It kept them in the contest. Then mainly got those

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.640
<v Speaker 1>points just before halftime. But what with no Mitchell, Moses,

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Iongi Pezant Falkman, they all had an impact in the

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.479
<v Speaker 1>second half running the ball, score and tries. That's a

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>big win for those guys.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, massive win. A little bit of a question mark

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 2>now over Manly, I need two wins of their last

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 2>five up against a Neil side. You're right, they've been

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 2>knocked around by injury more than any other club. But

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Iongie in particular. You know a couple of the try

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 2>savers that he pulled off, he was he was brilliant.

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Falkland was great. Pezzets scored that try at the back

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>end of the game, but Manly just played themselves out

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>of the game with the errors.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Manly Turbo was good but just couldn't get over the line.

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I think they missed, okay, miss Cola. They just need

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>their best players available. I think give them another couple

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of weeks just to turn around, because one thing that

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Karen Forren has done when he's lost, he's turned that

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>team around and won the next week. Like he's always

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>seems to have fixed it. Nights Dolphins, no origin players.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>It was basically shoot out for the top.

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Four, which Newcastle now find themselves in the top four,

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>winning three in a row. Newcastle's performances haven't been great,

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.639
<v Speaker 2>but they've been getting wins, which you know at this

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 2>time of the year. Well we'll just take it and move.

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>We said about the Tigers and ponger and.

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Ponger and best to come back into that side. The

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins were without seven, they were missing a lot of

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 2>key players and pulled it off. They thriled twelve nil

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and Dylan Brown kicked his first field.

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Goal, almost butchered. It was all over the place that day.

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 2>They had ten minutes. They had ten minutes to kick

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>a field goal. You thought, good, someone should try and

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 2>set up Now.

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Can someone just go to the left post and kick

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball place? I know what is?

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 2>What are we going with?

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.400
<v Speaker 1>The crazy? Crazy? Crazy? Thanks Greg, great, Thanks good
