1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: It's all the best stat is What do you what

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: do you think about the respective sides?

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: Firstly your Coins Land side, well.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 3: I think from both teams, I think sort of injuries

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 3: have played a part. You know, both Laurie and Billy

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 3: would have had a plan and then a few injuries

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 3: late sort of change those. I think there's definitely a

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 3: different style of play. I think I think the Moses

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: Cleary Yo combination is something that is repetition trust, so

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: there's a lot of combo work in that and they

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: will move the football around a little bit more yep

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: for the Maroons and that sort of storm combination of

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: Munster and put Harry Grant in that throw Kalin in

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: the back. I think Billy's game plan will be long

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: game and one of their best players to come up

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: with a play, if that makes sense. I don't think

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: there's a lot of combination work compared to the New

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: South Wales side, but I think both have strengths and weaknesses.

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: What do you reckon good looking pack coins pack wake

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Tina ruben Cot I love corderis player Jeremiah and I

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: is a good form and Carrying's got that mouth injury,

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: but he's going to be okay, Yeah, it's a it's

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: a strong pack with Harry Grant through the middle.

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: It's it's funny looking at.

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: The the nature of the Queensland back line.

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: It's very much attack based.

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: And when you look at New South Wales, which get

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: to in a second, it's more you know, I look

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: at I look at our wingers and our and our

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: full back.

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: It's very much yardage based. But look Queensland.

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: Look monster there hammer the bench, Ded and Lindsay Collins

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: both for more gets the start world done, Trentley eero.

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: But the big one is Robert Toyer.

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah was it ten games into his career and

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: he's playing origin That normally doesn't happen for some of

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: the best players. They ever well in the game, really well.

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: As you know, if Billy picks him, you know he's

39
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: ready thorough.

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Yes, if Billy's watched more football than you and I, right,

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: But we sit there and have seen glimpses of what

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: Robert Toyer can do. And there's no doubt that he

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: has got big stage written all over. That sort of

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: right foot, that fan, he's got a flick passing him.

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what he's going to have to

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: have one of the best defensive performance in his lifetime

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: because he will be coming up against Latroll Mitchell. That's

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: the that's the disadvantage for you. If I'm sitting in Queensland,

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: You've got Hammer and Rob Toyer against Stephen Crichton and

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: Latrell Mitchell. Yes, yeah, that's that's that's a mismatch if

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: you just put on paper.

52
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, on paper.

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: I said before about Latrell and Stephen Crichton growing up

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: watching Origin through the eighties and remind does remind me

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: as far as physical presence and intimidation June Miles of Malmeninger.

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: It's got that, It's got that that big.

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 3: How Okay, if you've got Stephen and Latrell and your

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: Moses and Cleary, what's your style of play?

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about that right.

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: So I look at the New South Wales side and

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: it's a great yardage side, great YARDI side Dylan Edbwood,

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Brian Zach Lomax.

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: They will dominate yardage, They'll alleviate a lot of pressure

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: off the forwards.

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: And if New South Wales can win yardage, that means

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: that we will consistently put Nathan Cleary in a position

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: for attacking kicks. And as you know, if you've got

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Nathan consistently getting down there and be able to put

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: in the attacking kicks, then you he's going to start

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: nailing them.

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: You know they're going to start. He's going to produce tries.

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: So if we're talking about the style of football will play,

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I think simplicity. I think simplicity, very direct, get up field.

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to I've said this before, to start

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the game. I really want to see Nathan and Mitchell

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Moses running the football early, get their compass right. Don't

77
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: want to see the ball just pushed sideways. I think

78
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: you know that will go away from our strengths out

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the strength of this New South Wales side with those

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: back threes.

81
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: Is going to be playing nice and direct.

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: I think New South Wales has got more combination work

83
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: with the ability to move the football when is Aeo

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: goes there, like his ability to know when to pull

85
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: the trigger and pass. And Nathan he's better than anyone

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: else in the game, so he'll understand when to run

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: and when to pass. I just feel like with those

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: centers that you have, they need to get the ball

89
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: at some stage right. So you're going to shift the

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: ball promoted to give them the opportunity one on one.

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: It's funny you said about moving the football there. I

92
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: think New South Wales has got to be They've got

93
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: to be selected when they shift the ball.

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: I suppose what I want to see is a little

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: bit of a shift there, a little bit of shift there.

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Go back to a little bit shift what you're looking for.

97
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: If we're going to move for pole playing nice and direct,

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: get the ball to an edge and then open the

99
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: field up.

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: You know, if that's we got the ability.

101
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: For Latrell and Stephen Crichton to move and start to

102
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: swing together on one side of the field, and.

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: Then for Queensland to win. I think their style of

104
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: player is going to be, like I said earlier, a

105
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: little bit more long gamish than New South Wales. If

106
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: they're foward, per can be dominant for longer periods, keep

107
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: the score line close. I think Munster, I think Calen

108
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: Ponger and I think Harry Grant have individual bruants in them,

109
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: so it's more like a team game. To get to

110
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: the seventy fifth minute and then one of the best players,

111
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: yeah strike I from Queensland. I'm worried about Latrelle and

112
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: Stephen Crichton whose New South Wales worried about.

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: For Queensland, it looks it's Munster, you know.

114
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: And because we've said this before, when you talk about

115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: the greatest Oriagin players of all time, we always looked

116
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: at the past with rose colored glasses, you know, we

117
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: glorify the past a.

118
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: Lot of times.

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: But when you talk about the greatest Origin plays of

120
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: all time, he's got to be. He's got to be

121
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: in the conversation. Things he has done for Queensland, you know,

122
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: when they've needed in big games, in big moments, he

123
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: just always stands up.

124
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: You know.

125
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: You talk about that Origin debut where he got Men

126
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: of the Match and you blokes tell me that his

127
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: last training session going into that game is probably the

128
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: worst training session. Now, how are we going to shuffle

129
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: this flag out of the seamon?

130
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: He came up to me and said, mate, what do

131
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: I do? I just trained so bad? I said, mate,

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: just keep doing what you doing. He'd be right mate,

133
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: But that that mindset like is what makes him great.

134
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: And I feel like if he can rub off on

135
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: Kaylen Palmer who's coming from Newcastle, that's he's in he's

136
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: in a run himself at Clubland. But what Kaylen has

137
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: done for Queensland over his course, there's flashes of brilliance. Yeah,

138
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Like if if, if Billy can

139
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: just get Kaylen in a really good spot. I just

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: think that combination of Munster and Kaylen Pomer together, particularly

141
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: on both their favored left hand side, could be the

142
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: thing for Queenland.

143
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: Just on Munster. He was on the show last night.

144
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: He's a character that's not that bad, but like he's

145
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: just he's a class actor and particularly the way he

146
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: has a lot to be made. But I no want

147
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: to go on about but how he's turned his life around.

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: You sitting there last night, like kicking the burs and

149
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: stopping that, I mean, you know that's hard to do

150
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: because a lot of it is culture. We get there

151
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: in rugby league. I said it last night. You know,

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: you have a win, you want to have a beer.

153
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: You have a loss, you want to have a beer.

154
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: You let's find a reason to have a beer together.

155
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: And for Munster to actually kick that and turn his

156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: life around. It's a lot more difficult than you know,

157
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: than it seems. So he's incredible. How Fitty looks eighty

158
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: nine key laps.

159
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: The great players always find something to improve in. Now,

160
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: you and I sit here and say, there's not a

161
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: lot he can improve on the football field, right, But

162
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, there's a fair chunk he could

163
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: improve off the field to help that. And there's no

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: doubt that anyone that's sort of overtakes the mickey, but

165
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: anyone that's sort of gone off the drink or applied

166
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: themselves more. The proof is in the performance. It shows

167
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: up at some stage.

168
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: And it shows the attitude. It shows attitude.

169
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Preg nomination for New South Wales is Nahing Cleary, Mitchell Moses,

170
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: and on paper and in theory this is a brilliant combination.

171
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: But as we said before, Mitchell's in the six and

172
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: there's no doubt Mitchell probably will have to play left

173
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to play a slightly different role that does with paramount.

174
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: I think, yes, I agree, and there'll be a sort

175
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: of let one go, you know, the other one stands

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: up and takes. But I really like how Laurie Day

177
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: explained that decision. The kicking game in Origin is crucial

178
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: and Mitchell moses the best kicker from fifty meters plus.

179
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: He'll turn an average set into a great set and

180
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: if he can control the long game kicking and as

181
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: it gets closer to the trialer Nathan controls a little

182
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: bit more. I think that's the ying and the yang

183
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: that work for New South Wales and ultimately, if you

184
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: want to New South Wales to win, those two will

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: find the best read of I think that's where it sits.

186
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: And it's a great combination coop because I mean their

187
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: big game experience, particularly Nathan, but Mitchell's a lot of

188
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: big game experience as well, and he's got that and

189
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Mitchell's got plenty of healthy against so going up to

190
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: some Corps stadium is not gonna worry either of because

191
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: as you're no coops like and I say this fair

192
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: bit young playmakers, when you're going into really big games,

193
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: it's really important going into big games, when you're in

194
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: the halves amongst all the chaos is going on, You've

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: got to keep your head and you've you've got to

196
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: control your adrenaline. Ice fine, and it's tempted when you

197
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: get into those really big games and the adrenaline starts

198
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: pouring through you and the first thing you start to

199
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: do is.

200
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: Zinging the ball around sidelines.

201
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Is sold on a little bit where these two blokes

202
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: know what it takes to win big games. Very level headed,

203
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: very good pushing sides around the park.

204
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: It's great combination.

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: If you're Billy, what are you doing with Tom Didon?

206
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: What's your plan? Because he is more than just a

207
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: player that sits there.

208
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Is Yeah, well, I mean, I mean you're not going

209
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to replace Munster or DC, you know, so it's an

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: interesting one.

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: Coops, So what do you do?

212
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, does he is he there just to relieve

213
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Harry Grant?

214
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I think Harry Grant stays out there too. The thing

215
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: for me is, I think Billy needs to tie the

216
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: injection of Tom Diddon. Patrick Carrigan is a beast. He

217
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: will play eighty minutes, but to him be full throttle

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: and lead that pack will be hard for him to do.

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: So it's almost like you get Carrigan off after thirty minutes,

220
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: put Diaden on it lock if the game is in

221
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: your favor, if there's a swing of possession coming Queensland's way,

222
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: get him on the field strike and then after five

223
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: minutes in the second half, if it feels like it's

224
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: gone the la, get Carrigan back out there for a

225
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: period of time, then he might be able to strike

226
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: with fifteen to go again. But he is too valuable

227
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: because the greatest strength of Tom Didon is the show

228
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: and go. Once there's fatigue in the game of origin,

229
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: I don't care who you are, the fuel tank is empty,

230
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: and if he's in front of you, that speed and

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: footwork and the sharpness at which he comes at you

232
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: at I think that could be a play. But he

233
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: needs to time that card perfectly because if it's defending

234
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: all the time, he's just going to be caught the

235
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: washing machine at all.

236
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Talking about the Cooper, He's perfectly suit into that thirteen role, isn't.

237
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: He's got all the attributes you know.

238
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's quick, he's got good he's got good first

239
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: step quickness, he's got the show and go a little

240
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: bit of skill, he's got good footwork.

241
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: But crucially he's tough and.

242
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: That's why I say he'll make his tackles. But the

243
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: timing of when Queensland, if Billy can predict the possession

244
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: count go in their favor for a ten minute period,

245
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: that's when you get him on the field. Anyone.

246
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: No, Corey Harsbrough and that surprise that surprises me.

247
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the Lindsay Collins back in after one game.

248
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: Maybe he could have played there, but Lindsay's done it.

249
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: Lindsay's the type of guy that you give him that color,

250
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: that jersey that you're wearing right now. I know he

251
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: puts the Superman cape on, right, So I think that's

252
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: the one year. But I don't mind Furmore and Lierro

253
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: like there's a little bit of enthursdays and there, and

254
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: the way that Billy has coached the likes of Riese

255
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: Walsh particularly Robbed Twitter. He put Hammer in the centers

256
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: when everyone was like, oh, I don't know, Like he

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: backs youth because he sees a lot of energy energy

258
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: in them.

259
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: Just looking in your southwest side.

260
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: As I've said before, if I was Lorry, you know

261
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: i'd be I'd be sitting down in the last two

262
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: weeks going okay, where can I can I get perhaps

263
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: in there somewhere.

264
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: What are you thinking about? Max King?

265
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: It's a it's an interesting one weld under world under maxis.

266
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: He's been obviously club for club form because.

267
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: You think about that pack and it's got Kurt Man

268
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: and Hayward play there a little bit like they're a

269
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: smallish pack compared But his performance up against the Roosters

270
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: was very good. Yeah, he got smashed early on, but

271
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: then he was the biggest body in the middle that

272
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: turned the tide for the Dogs. And it just goes

273
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: to show that. You know, there's some other players that

274
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: were spoken more about. Ye May was in there, Stefano.

275
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: You talkmo, But Max King? How can I say this

276
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: comparatively to those guys? Max King probably does the one

277
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. If someone needs to tackle himself

278
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: for a standstill for what fifteen to twenty minutes, I

279
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: think that's why Laurie would have gone with Max King.

280
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Well done Max, and to the family too. He's got

281
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: four generations of footballers.

282
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, his dad was.

283
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: A good footballer. He played for the Gold Coast Surguls.

284
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: His grandfather, Johnny is a legend, you know. I mean

285
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Johnny won mile of premierships with those incredible Saint George's

286
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: teams and then went and coasted Western Vision. They call

287
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: it the Last Ferry, the Last Great fairy Tale, where

288
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: they went Western Vision were put into the midweek the

289
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: Panasonic Cup or the MC Cup and won the whole thing.

290
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, they'd be very, very proud nose.

291
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: Last week we're talking about just telling a lie of

292
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: the football, and we did a lot of it last week,

293
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: but Lucky Galvin last night did a little one and

294
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: it just showed again the benefit of it. And you're

295
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: seeing Jamie Humphries. That little look in makes Humphreys turn in.

296
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: He's runner on the outside. Didn't quite give him enough time.

297
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: And you were just talking about there we probably overplayed

298
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: a little bit too much.

299
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: You're saying we might be influencing the halves and the competition.

300
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh it must watch television.

301
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: This is good, but I think it could be so

302
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: much better. See that the double look like he overplayed

303
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: his hand. If you talk about that rail play where

304
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: you've got one support player inside you, which is Puller

305
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: and save Farth on the outside, if he looks in

306
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: at Buller and stays straighter for a little bit longer

307
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: and then snaps out hard to Humphreys, I think you

308
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: put save Farth the way. I think you just overcooked

309
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: it slightly like there you go straight see that double

310
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: look he went out in out again? Yes, I think

311
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: if he was just square and went looked in here

312
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: and then bounced out to Humphreys. I think he puts yeah, yeah,

313
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: back roll through.

314
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: And it just shows that doesn't know what would talk

315
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: talking about how it disorientates the defense. So Jamie Humphreys

316
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: when he looks in, Jamie Humphreys as well looks in

317
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: and goes towards him.

318
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: Dogs, Warriors and Sharks. You want to make a point

319
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: about these sorts, I'm sorry.

320
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Warriors, Warriors, Raiders, Sharks. So the Dogs are in first,

321
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: Storm are in fourth. Both of those teams have some

322
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: origin affected players. The Storm have been there a thousand times.

323
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: They'll know how to get through it. The Dogs this

324
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: is their first sort of time having a big chunk

325
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: of players involved. So I feel like the Sharks don't

326
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: have one origin player, the Warriors of Barnett, the Raiders

327
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: have young. I think it's an opportunity for these three teams,

328
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: particularly if you go and have a look at the draw.

329
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: I think the Sharks, the Warriors, and the Raiders it's

330
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: time for them to win a big chunk. I'm saying

331
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: six seven of the next eight take advantage of the

332
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: rest of the competition and fly out there and solidified

333
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: top four spot. Because those two teams don't want to

334
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: drop a top four spot, but these other three aren't

335
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: affected during Origin have a chance to move one of

336
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: those teams out for that run home towards back in

337
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: the year.

338
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: It's I think Dogs, Warriors and Raiders that started the.

339
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Year moving into the mid season, for those guys to

340
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: be one, two, three, jeez, what odds you would get?

341
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing great football, like those three sides.

342
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Is there anything in the game? Is there anything this

343
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: year apart from just natural improvement in those sides that

344
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: has basically turned the turn that the ladder on its

345
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: head a little bit.

346
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: I think for the Sharks, I think they're a consistent

347
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: team on the Fitzgibbon that they have been. They've played

348
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: finals probably once of big games, but I feel like

349
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: they've done the foundation of the last three years and

350
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: they're about to spring like they're about to understand what

351
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: it takes. The Warriors, for me, I think the Fisher

352
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Harris Barnett leadership with the injection of Luke Metcalf. Shawn

353
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: Johnson was there, who was a legend of the Warriors

354
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: in New Zealand, but Luke's bought this sort of youthful enthusiasm,

355
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: leg speed and they capitalize on it, like some of

356
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: the defensive efforts and the moments that he has had

357
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: in the last few weeks, like he's a gun player.

358
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: And the Raiders, for me, I think they've just got

359
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 3: good balance between tough forward pack and aergetic outside backs.

360
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: But they if they can win I'm going to say

361
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: six on the next eight. Seven in the next eight,

362
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: I think they're going to start believing that they can

363
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: win the premiership definitely, and you look at you go

364
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: have a look at their their run potentially, like they've

365
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: got the Warriors, Rooster's South, then the bye after that

366
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: if they have won a big chunk of those. After that,

367
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: buy they've got teams towards the bottom of the ladder

368
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: and that could be a big thing for them. Finishing

369
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: top four and believing like that team I think needs

370
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: to believe that they can win it.

371
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of young guys on the

372
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: side make very fast side. Crucially've all got football ko weeks.

373
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: He Cheezy was good yesterday, particularly in the first half.

374
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 3: So was it Tarpani, Papoli and young So they've played

375
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: big chunk of finals back when Ricky got the Grand

376
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: Final in nineteen either side of that, but that outside

377
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: backs probably haven't played from off the tom. I had

378
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: a lot of big games. Yeah, so they need to

379
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 3: know that they're second third, you know, not going to

380
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 3: miss out on top four player home final. Like I

381
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: think that's something that those outside backs probably need. Belief

382
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 3: and confidence.

383
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: You just said about Luke Metcalf and I just just

384
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: wrote here. As we move into the halfway part of

385
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: the season, you know, Gold, Silver, Bronze as far as

386
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: individual players, and I've gone gold Stephen Crichton, I think

387
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: on because it's more than just performance, it's leadership an

388
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: impact he's.

389
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: Having on this competition.

390
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: Silver, I've gone Luke Metcalf for all the things you've

391
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: explained there, and Bronze.

392
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: Adam feriniul Blake.

393
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: His performance souther nine against the Storm was one of

394
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: the best yardach performance I have seen. You know, as

395
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, Coop, if you can run for over one

396
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: hundred meter you're doing good. He had over one hundred

397
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: post contact meters. For people don't know what's when once

398
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: you hit hit the defensive line, how you drive through.

399
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: So put it in context. You and I never had

400
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: post contact meters one hundred in one game.

401
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: He has been He has been incredible and as you

402
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: said before, finally now going into this season, everyone looked

403
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: at the addition of him into this side and go, okay,

404
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: now they're a contender. They're showing that. Now finally they're

405
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: showing to put you.

406
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 3: On the spot here, Luke Metcalfe half Back of the

407
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 3: year right now. Oh you would have thought that at

408
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: the start of the season.

409
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Well after after round one, I saw a bit.

410
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 3: We spoke about this, I saw a bit in him

411
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: during the preseason, and then we went out to Vegas.

412
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: It was like, okay, maybe we missed it, but what

413
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 3: he's shown during pre season has definitely come through. And

414
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: you think about the talent that we have in the

415
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: half back position our competition. Look at the origin players, yes,

416
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: Roses Cleary, Cherry Evans, and he is right now ahead

417
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: of those in terms of performance. Leading the Daly Ms yep.

418
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: That that Vegas game, watching the Warriors and how they've

419
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: adjusted their football off that I thought the in Vegas,

420
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: the Warriors actually tried to do too much and I

421
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: ended up playing two sideways getting pushed over the sideline

422
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: from the Raiders. What they've done, They've simplified their football

423
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: they've Wade Egan has been so crucial to that side

424
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: and crucial to Metcalf because he's allowed. He allows Medcalf

425
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: to sometimes and I don't mean to take a rest,

426
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: but you mentally be able to just relax for a

427
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, take some take some breathers, and

428
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: then just focus on his running game. So they're I

429
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: just I really like the way they're playing football. Wouldn't

430
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't that be a story? You know, they

431
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: come through and win this competition with the Wars. You know,

432
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: they have been so good for the game. I had

433
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: fears keep going into this year. I thought, yeah, because

434
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: the support they were getting and you know, the War's phenomenon,

435
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: and then last year had a difficult season, and then

436
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: what happened in Round one in Vegas. I thot on,

437
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: they don't don't tell me they're going to drop straight off,

438
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: but they'll bounced back.

439
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 3: And credit to them because they've delivered off the back

440
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: of what they're doing playing.

441
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: Give me a team who's who's doing better than the

442
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: latter indicates, So.

443
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: I have Panthers are down the bottom. They're a better

444
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: team than that. Of course, yes, I think this slow

445
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: start is really going to be a weight on their

446
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 3: back for a period of time. Like the way that

447
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: they have at stages shown that they are back. I

448
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: just they can't stay there for much longer. Do they

449
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: make finals. That's a long run, but I think they

450
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: can still. They might slip into eighth.

451
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: Those top sides.

452
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: Will whoever the Panthers play again in that that run home,

453
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: they be cheering against them because they sneak into the eight,

454
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: get in there, they can get all the way.

455
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: Win because in the big games they put it together.

456
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: When they're in Vegas, they put it together at different

457
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: stage the Roosters. Who else they beat the Broncos was it?

458
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

459
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can put it together. What about you?

460
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: What is the love the Dragons? Dragons?

461
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: Dragons were terrific yesterday. Round one had a tough loss

462
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: to the Dogs. That form has shown that it's it's

463
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: good form. But they've lost three games by a single

464
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: single point. To me, they're not one of the top contenders. Okay,

465
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: but I just think they're playing better than THEO then

466
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: the latter indicates and I like what I really like

467
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: what Gutson has been a great pick up for them.

468
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: His leadership has been has been terrific.

469
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: I give Gatson a rat because the back end of

470
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: his time it looked as though he had lost his

471
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 3: spark and his spinning his legs, and he's always an

472
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: effort based player and he would never lose that. But

473
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: when you look at the Dragon's spine before the season started,

474
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: I thought, like, who's going to hit the scoreboard? Like

475
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: the halves are not like dynamic and running the football

476
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: and break out of the line, the line breakers, they're

477
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: good creative players, but what Guthson has done to the

478
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: attack has been the absolute difference. Otherwise there'd be in

479
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: a lot of trouble. Yeah, they would be.

480
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Team you're worried about your old mom. Yeah, I'm the same,

481
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: really concerned about where this season is headed. Yeah.

482
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: Now I'm not worried about them. They're going good. But

483
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: you have my.

484
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: Old side, the Newcastle.

485
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's made.

486
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: It's it's hard going at the moment, really hard going.

487
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: So they just can't unlock Kaylen. They just can't work.

488
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: They just can't find a formulae in their attack to

489
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: get him into consistently into space.

490
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: If I was still capable, I would love to play

491
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 3: half back with Kaylen Ponger.

492
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 4: See if we haven't, because like he is all the

493
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 4: attributes you need in someone to be a threat to

494
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: help you do your thing, and talking about some of

495
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: the ball playing, the nuances and things.

496
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: I know it's not as easy as what we say,

497
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: like there's some like some parts so that it's quite difficult.

498
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: But if you could just get some assistance for Klein,

499
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 3: they would be a much better team. And I'm not

500
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: saying Dylan Brown, I'm saying right now, yes, they need

501
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: to find something that even if it's as structured as

502
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: you know, let's move Kaylen over to the less hand

503
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: side of the field, park someone on the right, and once

504
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: that fullback puts too many numbers.

505
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: On Kleine, take it.

506
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: Take it like it just needs to be something to

507
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: help him do his thing.

508
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: Coop. Kylen gets the ball and it's three on three.

509
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't even need a numerical advantage the moment, it's

510
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: just even numbers. The defense sits. So sometimes I look

511
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: and they'll get there.

512
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: They'll work to the half field and I try to

513
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: little play on. You know.

514
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: It's as you know, working from the half field can

515
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: be problematic. Sometimes you want to work work the ball

516
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: to the fast height.

517
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: And just open the field after Klen.

518
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: If I had anything to do with Jack Cogger, I

519
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: would say, Jack, come sit here and watch the last

520
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: twenty minutes of that Grand Final versus Penrith. See what

521
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: you did for clearing that. That is the art of

522
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: ball playing for kayleb Ponger. Watch it over and over

523
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: and over and over again. Get the feeling of going

524
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: past the markers, looking in, playing out and creating space,

525
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: timing of your runners around there. That is exactly what

526
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 3: Kaylin wants. He did it for Cleary. Now. I don't

527
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 3: know what's going on Newcastle, but it needs something to

528
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 3: help out.

529
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: Kaylen, no doubt, Brodie Coops state of origin?

530
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Mate, what's upon us?

531
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: And yes, I mean I'm going to have to have

532
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: the girls with wardrobe come on better.

533
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: That's not their fault.

534
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: Don't play
