WEBVTT - Round 11 Takeaways and Origin Squads 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.320 It's all the best stat is What do you what 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.000 do you think about the respective sides? 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.240 Firstly your Coins Land side, well. 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.639 I think from both teams, I think sort of injuries 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.520 have played a part. You know, both Laurie and Billy 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.600 would have had a plan and then a few injuries 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.760 late sort of change those. I think there's definitely a 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.160 different style of play. I think I think the Moses 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:30.240 Cleary Yo combination is something that is repetition trust, so 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.000 there's a lot of combo work in that and they 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.280 will move the football around a little bit more yep 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.800 for the Maroons and that sort of storm combination of 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.040 Munster and put Harry Grant in that throw Kalin in 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.360 the back. I think Billy's game plan will be long 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.839 game and one of their best players to come up 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.720 with a play, if that makes sense. I don't think 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.720 there's a lot of combination work compared to the New 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.520 South Wales side, but I think both have strengths and weaknesses. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.800 What do you reckon good looking pack coins pack wake 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.560 Tina ruben Cot I love corderis player Jeremiah and I 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.000 is a good form and Carrying's got that mouth injury, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.399 but he's going to be okay, Yeah, it's a it's 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.119 a strong pack with Harry Grant through the middle. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.440 It's it's funny looking at. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.800 The the nature of the Queensland back line. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.959 It's very much attack based. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.119 And when you look at New South Wales, which get 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.280 to in a second, it's more you know, I look 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.080 at I look at our wingers and our and our 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:29.560 full back. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:34.399 It's very much yardage based. But look Queensland. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:39.319 Look monster there hammer the bench, Ded and Lindsay Collins 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.479 both for more gets the start world done, Trentley eero. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.000 But the big one is Robert Toyer. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.120 Wow, yeah was it ten games into his career and 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.240 he's playing origin That normally doesn't happen for some of 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.280 the best players. They ever well in the game, really well. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.080 As you know, if Billy picks him, you know he's 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.080 ready thorough. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.880 Yes, if Billy's watched more football than you and I, right, 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.720 But we sit there and have seen glimpses of what 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.880 Robert Toyer can do. And there's no doubt that he 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.280 has got big stage written all over. That sort of 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.480 right foot, that fan, he's got a flick passing him. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.400 But I'll tell you what he's going to have to 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.440 have one of the best defensive performance in his lifetime 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.440 because he will be coming up against Latroll Mitchell. That's 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.040 the that's the disadvantage for you. If I'm sitting in Queensland, 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.760 You've got Hammer and Rob Toyer against Stephen Crichton and 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.800 Latrell Mitchell. Yes, yeah, that's that's that's a mismatch if 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:32.600 you just put on paper. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:33.400 Yeah, on paper. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.320 I said before about Latrell and Stephen Crichton growing up 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.800 watching Origin through the eighties and remind does remind me 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.400 as far as physical presence and intimidation June Miles of Malmeninger. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.639 It's got that, It's got that that big. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.399 How Okay, if you've got Stephen and Latrell and your 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.919 Moses and Cleary, what's your style of play? 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.640 Okay, let's talk about that right. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.280 So I look at the New South Wales side and 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.760 it's a great yardage side, great YARDI side Dylan Edbwood, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.160 Brian Zach Lomax. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.400 They will dominate yardage, They'll alleviate a lot of pressure 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:12.080 off the forwards. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.280 And if New South Wales can win yardage, that means 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.680 that we will consistently put Nathan Cleary in a position 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.120 for attacking kicks. And as you know, if you've got 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.560 Nathan consistently getting down there and be able to put 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.079 in the attacking kicks, then you he's going to start 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.679 nailing them. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.480 You know they're going to start. He's going to produce tries. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.400 So if we're talking about the style of football will play, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:40.680 I think simplicity. I think simplicity, very direct, get up field. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.720 I don't want to I've said this before, to start 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.760 the game. I really want to see Nathan and Mitchell 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.560 Moses running the football early, get their compass right. Don't 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.400 want to see the ball just pushed sideways. I think 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.880 you know that will go away from our strengths out 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.600 the strength of this New South Wales side with those 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:58.640 back threes. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.440 Is going to be playing nice and direct. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.680 I think New South Wales has got more combination work 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600 with the ability to move the football when is Aeo 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.040 goes there, like his ability to know when to pull 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.440 the trigger and pass. And Nathan he's better than anyone 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.120 else in the game, so he'll understand when to run 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.039 and when to pass. I just feel like with those 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.159 centers that you have, they need to get the ball 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.520 at some stage right. So you're going to shift the 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.200 ball promoted to give them the opportunity one on one. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.719 It's funny you said about moving the football there. I 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.920 think New South Wales has got to be They've got 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.320 to be selected when they shift the ball. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.840 I suppose what I want to see is a little 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.599 bit of a shift there, a little bit of shift there. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.920 Go back to a little bit shift what you're looking for. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.799 If we're going to move for pole playing nice and direct, 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.039 get the ball to an edge and then open the 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:44.480 field up. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.520 You know, if that's we got the ability. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.200 For Latrell and Stephen Crichton to move and start to 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.160 swing together on one side of the field, and. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.359 Then for Queensland to win. I think their style of 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:55.880 player is going to be, like I said earlier, a 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.080 little bit more long gamish than New South Wales. If 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.640 they're foward, per can be dominant for longer periods, keep 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.880 the score line close. I think Munster, I think Calen 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.039 Ponger and I think Harry Grant have individual bruants in them, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.920 so it's more like a team game. To get to 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.560 the seventy fifth minute and then one of the best players, 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.080 yeah strike I from Queensland. I'm worried about Latrelle and 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.000 Stephen Crichton whose New South Wales worried about. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.840 For Queensland, it looks it's Munster, you know. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.040 And because we've said this before, when you talk about 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.080 the greatest Oriagin players of all time, we always looked 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.719 at the past with rose colored glasses, you know, we 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:34.719 glorify the past a. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.200 Lot of times. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.480 But when you talk about the greatest Origin plays of 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.960 all time, he's got to be. He's got to be 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:44.240 in the conversation. Things he has done for Queensland, you know, 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.479 when they've needed in big games, in big moments, he 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.840 just always stands up. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:49.440 You know. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.920 You talk about that Origin debut where he got Men 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.719 of the Match and you blokes tell me that his 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.719 last training session going into that game is probably the 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.320 worst training session. Now, how are we going to shuffle 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:05.200 this flag out of the seamon? 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.560 He came up to me and said, mate, what do 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.120 I do? I just trained so bad? I said, mate, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.080 just keep doing what you doing. He'd be right mate, 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.880 But that that mindset like is what makes him great. 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.839 And I feel like if he can rub off on 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.040 Kaylen Palmer who's coming from Newcastle, that's he's in he's 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.160 in a run himself at Clubland. But what Kaylen has 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.839 done for Queensland over his course, there's flashes of brilliance. Yeah, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.800 I'll tell you what, Like if if, if Billy can 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.760 just get Kaylen in a really good spot. I just 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.960 think that combination of Munster and Kaylen Pomer together, particularly 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.200 on both their favored left hand side, could be the 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.080 thing for Queenland. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.920 Just on Munster. He was on the show last night. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.280 He's a character that's not that bad, but like he's 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.880 just he's a class actor and particularly the way he 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.720 has a lot to be made. But I no want 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.839 to go on about but how he's turned his life around. 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.080 You sitting there last night, like kicking the burs and 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.960 stopping that, I mean, you know that's hard to do 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.240 because a lot of it is culture. We get there 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.320 in rugby league. I said it last night. You know, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.800 you have a win, you want to have a beer. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.520 You have a loss, you want to have a beer. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.240 You let's find a reason to have a beer together. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.040 And for Munster to actually kick that and turn his 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.880 life around. It's a lot more difficult than you know, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.920 than it seems. So he's incredible. How Fitty looks eighty 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:29.680 nine key laps. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.400 The great players always find something to improve in. Now, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.120 you and I sit here and say, there's not a 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.080 lot he can improve on the football field, right, But 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.000 I'll tell you what, there's a fair chunk he could 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.920 improve off the field to help that. And there's no 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.680 doubt that anyone that's sort of overtakes the mickey, but 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.160 anyone that's sort of gone off the drink or applied 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.960 themselves more. The proof is in the performance. It shows 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.120 up at some stage. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.200 And it shows the attitude. It shows attitude. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.920 Preg nomination for New South Wales is Nahing Cleary, Mitchell Moses, 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.680 and on paper and in theory this is a brilliant combination. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:08.200 But as we said before, Mitchell's in the six and 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.880 there's no doubt Mitchell probably will have to play left 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.040 to play a slightly different role that does with paramount. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.520 I think, yes, I agree, and there'll be a sort 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.720 of let one go, you know, the other one stands 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.200 up and takes. But I really like how Laurie Day 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.920 explained that decision. The kicking game in Origin is crucial 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.720 and Mitchell moses the best kicker from fifty meters plus. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.520 He'll turn an average set into a great set and 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.040 if he can control the long game kicking and as 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.080 it gets closer to the trialer Nathan controls a little 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.280 bit more. I think that's the ying and the yang 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.400 that work for New South Wales and ultimately, if you 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.600 want to New South Wales to win, those two will 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.920 find the best read of I think that's where it sits. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.880 And it's a great combination coop because I mean their 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.920 big game experience, particularly Nathan, but Mitchell's a lot of 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.440 big game experience as well, and he's got that and 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.160 Mitchell's got plenty of healthy against so going up to 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.920 some Corps stadium is not gonna worry either of because 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.920 as you're no coops like and I say this fair 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.800 bit young playmakers, when you're going into really big games, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.720 it's really important going into big games, when you're in 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.600 the halves amongst all the chaos is going on, You've 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.120 got to keep your head and you've you've got to 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.280 control your adrenaline. Ice fine, and it's tempted when you 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.439 get into those really big games and the adrenaline starts 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.360 pouring through you and the first thing you start to 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:26.600 do is. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:27.880 Zinging the ball around sidelines. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.120 Is sold on a little bit where these two blokes 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.280 know what it takes to win big games. Very level headed, 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.680 very good pushing sides around the park. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:36.840 It's great combination. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.520 If you're Billy, what are you doing with Tom Didon? 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.640 What's your plan? Because he is more than just a 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:42.680 player that sits there. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.400 Is Yeah, well, I mean, I mean you're not going 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.920 to replace Munster or DC, you know, so it's an 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:52.440 interesting one. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:53.200 Coops, So what do you do? 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.560 I mean, does he is he there just to relieve 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.240 Harry Grant? 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.800 I think Harry Grant stays out there too. The thing 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.880 for me is, I think Billy needs to tie the 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.080 injection of Tom Diddon. Patrick Carrigan is a beast. He 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.480 will play eighty minutes, but to him be full throttle 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.000 and lead that pack will be hard for him to do. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:18.600 So it's almost like you get Carrigan off after thirty minutes, 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.160 put Diaden on it lock if the game is in 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.080 your favor, if there's a swing of possession coming Queensland's way, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.680 get him on the field strike and then after five 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.480 minutes in the second half, if it feels like it's 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.120 gone the la, get Carrigan back out there for a 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.280 period of time, then he might be able to strike 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.640 with fifteen to go again. But he is too valuable 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.960 because the greatest strength of Tom Didon is the show 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.920 and go. Once there's fatigue in the game of origin, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.920 I don't care who you are, the fuel tank is empty, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.840 and if he's in front of you, that speed and 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.840 footwork and the sharpness at which he comes at you 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.000 at I think that could be a play. But he 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.040 needs to time that card perfectly because if it's defending 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.360 all the time, he's just going to be caught the 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:58.440 washing machine at all. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.360 Talking about the Cooper, He's perfectly suit into that thirteen role, isn't. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.000 He's got all the attributes you know. 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.560 Yeah, he's quick, he's got good he's got good first 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.040 step quickness, he's got the show and go a little 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.520 bit of skill, he's got good footwork. 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.160 But crucially he's tough and. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.520 That's why I say he'll make his tackles. But the 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.320 timing of when Queensland, if Billy can predict the possession 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.480 count go in their favor for a ten minute period, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.040 that's when you get him on the field. Anyone. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.000 No, Corey Harsbrough and that surprise that surprises me. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:35.199 Yeah, you know, the Lindsay Collins back in after one game. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.840 Maybe he could have played there, but Lindsay's done it. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.280 Lindsay's the type of guy that you give him that color, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.200 that jersey that you're wearing right now. I know he 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.360 puts the Superman cape on, right, So I think that's 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.840 the one year. But I don't mind Furmore and Lierro 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.360 like there's a little bit of enthursdays and there, and 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.040 the way that Billy has coached the likes of Riese 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.280 Walsh particularly Robbed Twitter. He put Hammer in the centers 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.200 when everyone was like, oh, I don't know, Like he 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.880 backs youth because he sees a lot of energy energy 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:06.800 in them. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.120 Just looking in your southwest side. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.840 As I've said before, if I was Lorry, you know 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.559 i'd be I'd be sitting down in the last two 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.440 weeks going okay, where can I can I get perhaps 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:16.240 in there somewhere. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:17.600 What are you thinking about? Max King? 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:26.880 It's a it's an interesting one weld under world under maxis. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.240 He's been obviously club for club form because. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.080 You think about that pack and it's got Kurt Man 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.120 and Hayward play there a little bit like they're a 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:37.160 smallish pack compared But his performance up against the Roosters 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.520 was very good. Yeah, he got smashed early on, but 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.280 then he was the biggest body in the middle that 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.280 turned the tide for the Dogs. And it just goes 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.400 to show that. You know, there's some other players that 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.760 were spoken more about. Ye May was in there, Stefano. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.960 You talkmo, But Max King? How can I say this 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.920 comparatively to those guys? Max King probably does the one 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.280 if that makes sense. If someone needs to tackle himself 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.160 for a standstill for what fifteen to twenty minutes, I 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.160 think that's why Laurie would have gone with Max King. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 Well done Max, and to the family too. He's got 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.040 four generations of footballers. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.160 Yeah, his dad was. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.560 A good footballer. He played for the Gold Coast Surguls. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:23.000 His grandfather, Johnny is a legend, you know. I mean 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.600 Johnny won mile of premierships with those incredible Saint George's 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.800 teams and then went and coasted Western Vision. They call 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.160 it the Last Ferry, the Last Great fairy Tale, where 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.319 they went Western Vision were put into the midweek the 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.480 Panasonic Cup or the MC Cup and won the whole thing. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:53.080 So yeah, they'd be very, very proud nose. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.079 Last week we're talking about just telling a lie of 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.480 the football, and we did a lot of it last week, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.880 but Lucky Galvin last night did a little one and 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.679 it just showed again the benefit of it. And you're 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.320 seeing Jamie Humphries. That little look in makes Humphreys turn in. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.559 He's runner on the outside. Didn't quite give him enough time. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.880 And you were just talking about there we probably overplayed 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:16.600 a little bit too much. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.040 You're saying we might be influencing the halves and the competition. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.800 Oh it must watch television. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.840 This is good, but I think it could be so 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.800 much better. See that the double look like he overplayed 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.280 his hand. If you talk about that rail play where 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.040 you've got one support player inside you, which is Puller 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.680 and save Farth on the outside, if he looks in 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.360 at Buller and stays straighter for a little bit longer 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.680 and then snaps out hard to Humphreys, I think you 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.760 put save Farth the way. I think you just overcooked 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.200 it slightly like there you go straight see that double 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.960 look he went out in out again? Yes, I think 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.080 if he was just square and went looked in here 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.760 and then bounced out to Humphreys. I think he puts yeah, yeah, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:57.680 back roll through. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.960 And it just shows that doesn't know what would talk 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.640 talking about how it disorientates the defense. So Jamie Humphreys 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.000 when he looks in, Jamie Humphreys as well looks in 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.400 and goes towards him. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.040 Dogs, Warriors and Sharks. You want to make a point 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.880 about these sorts, I'm sorry. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.240 Warriors, Warriors, Raiders, Sharks. So the Dogs are in first, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.280 Storm are in fourth. Both of those teams have some 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.240 origin affected players. The Storm have been there a thousand times. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.360 They'll know how to get through it. The Dogs this 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.800 is their first sort of time having a big chunk 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.680 of players involved. So I feel like the Sharks don't 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.000 have one origin player, the Warriors of Barnett, the Raiders 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.560 have young. I think it's an opportunity for these three teams, 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.680 particularly if you go and have a look at the draw. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.080 I think the Sharks, the Warriors, and the Raiders it's 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.160 time for them to win a big chunk. I'm saying 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.160 six seven of the next eight take advantage of the 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.120 rest of the competition and fly out there and solidified 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.560 top four spot. Because those two teams don't want to 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.360 drop a top four spot, but these other three aren't 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.760 affected during Origin have a chance to move one of 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.160 those teams out for that run home towards back in 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:05.440 the year. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.840 It's I think Dogs, Warriors and Raiders that started the. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:13.200 Year moving into the mid season, for those guys to 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.120 be one, two, three, jeez, what odds you would get? 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.840 I mean, they're playing great football, like those three sides. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.200 Is there anything in the game? Is there anything this 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.400 year apart from just natural improvement in those sides that 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.960 has basically turned the turn that the ladder on its 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:30.600 head a little bit. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.760 I think for the Sharks, I think they're a consistent 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.000 team on the Fitzgibbon that they have been. They've played 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.880 finals probably once of big games, but I feel like 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.720 they've done the foundation of the last three years and 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.760 they're about to spring like they're about to understand what 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:50.600 it takes. The Warriors, for me, I think the Fisher 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.280 Harris Barnett leadership with the injection of Luke Metcalf. Shawn 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.720 Johnson was there, who was a legend of the Warriors 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.040 in New Zealand, but Luke's bought this sort of youthful enthusiasm, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.600 leg speed and they capitalize on it, like some of 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.040 the defensive efforts and the moments that he has had 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.879 in the last few weeks, like he's a gun player. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.520 And the Raiders, for me, I think they've just got 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.479 good balance between tough forward pack and aergetic outside backs. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.040 But they if they can win I'm going to say 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:23.960 six on the next eight. Seven in the next eight, 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.320 I think they're going to start believing that they can 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.879 win the premiership definitely, and you look at you go 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.160 have a look at their their run potentially, like they've 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.400 got the Warriors, Rooster's South, then the bye after that 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.800 if they have won a big chunk of those. After that, 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.280 buy they've got teams towards the bottom of the ladder 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.280 and that could be a big thing for them. Finishing 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.399 top four and believing like that team I think needs 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:47.879 to believe that they can win it. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.879 A lot of a lot of young guys on the 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.080 side make very fast side. Crucially've all got football ko weeks. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.119 He Cheezy was good yesterday, particularly in the first half. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.440 So was it Tarpani, Papoli and young So they've played 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.320 big chunk of finals back when Ricky got the Grand 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.440 Final in nineteen either side of that, but that outside 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.280 backs probably haven't played from off the tom. I had 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.520 a lot of big games. Yeah, so they need to 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.080 know that they're second third, you know, not going to 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.439 miss out on top four player home final. Like I 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.040 think that's something that those outside backs probably need. Belief 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:21.640 and confidence. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.600 You just said about Luke Metcalf and I just just 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.240 wrote here. As we move into the halfway part of 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.879 the season, you know, Gold, Silver, Bronze as far as 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:33.920 individual players, and I've gone gold Stephen Crichton, I think 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:39.199 on because it's more than just performance, it's leadership an 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:39.960 impact he's. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:40.960 Having on this competition. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.640 Silver, I've gone Luke Metcalf for all the things you've 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.720 explained there, and Bronze. 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.080 Adam feriniul Blake. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.040 His performance souther nine against the Storm was one of 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.119 the best yardach performance I have seen. You know, as 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:56.720 you know, Coop, if you can run for over one 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.800 hundred meter you're doing good. He had over one hundred 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.720 post contact meters. For people don't know what's when once 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.800 you hit hit the defensive line, how you drive through. 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.400 So put it in context. You and I never had 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.800 post contact meters one hundred in one game. 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.119
