WEBVTT - 🏉 NRL Analysis - Queensland is going to win round 2 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:11.760 Better than the legal, better than well coops. Plenty of 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.760 changes in the new New Southwest Side. Some expected well 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.680 you look, most expected Latroal Mitchell left center, Delan Edwards 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.880 and fullback Mitch Moses half back Cam Murray starting thirteen 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.880 and Colin Watson to the bench in the fourteen. Got 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.640 a story about Connor in a second, I thought McGinnis 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.160 I thought he was. I thought he was, I thought 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.600 he was unlucky. But I understand Murray and thirteen Connor 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.600 in in fourteen. 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.040 The thing when McGinnis was named, everyone understood that it 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.960 was a statement, a shift in the way that New 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.040 South Wales were going to be looked at played, and 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.960 to change before the next game is a strange strategic 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:52.639 thing for me. 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.040 That's what That's what we do. 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.640 Mate, Come on, I think it's because they got found 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.800 out having Jake ta Voievich and Care McGinnis in the 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.000 same starting time on the field at the same time. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.480 I think that, in hindsight is the reason why they 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.720 could only carry one of those guys. I think Moses, 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.520 like I think he would have been in if fit 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.040 Game one, So I don't see if that's a huge 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.560 change he's got swagger, He's got that half back presence 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.640 that it doesn't really matter. He believes he can be 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.920 the best part on the ground and I think that's it. Yeah, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.960 obviously Latrell. Great to see Connor Watson, like not only 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.280 that he's playing, but some of the injuries he's been through. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.280 The thing I take away from this this the Blues 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.240 is I think they're a better team. I think they 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.080 are more of a chance of winning game two than 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.640 they were a game one, just literally on paper. But 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.360 the fallout from it is Nico Heinz, Like, how does 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.800 he play now? How is he at the Sharks and 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.760 what is his reaction to it all? Because he's going 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.160 to have to have some resilience in his mind and 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:48.880 his ability. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.840 It's really unfortunate for nickol. I think at that level, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.440 Niko is more of a six than he is a seven. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.760 I think if he had a really dominant seven alongside him, 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.240 I think you've just seen the best of nick out 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:01.960 at that level. 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.800 I think, then why wouldn't you put him at six 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.760 this time? LOUI just playing too good. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.160 I think match just made a decision that probably Leui's form. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.160 Because those then hines the right sided players Lui is 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.480 locked in on the left. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.840 Which I thought Cody Walker was unlucky for that reason, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.200 I would have thought I thought the combination of Cody 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.360 Walker and Latrell on the left could have been enticeing. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.080 Yeah, it would have been juicy, no doubt about that. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.800 But I think on balance, I think they've got the 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.120 right side. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.720 One our key combinations. Just said it there, Latrell on 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.680 the left and Jerome. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.520 You playing well at moment, Jerome Leuie. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.440 Jerome's playing is playing really very well. Cooper questioning, you 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.760 wont two grand finals with Latrell as a playmaker. How 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.240 do you bring Latrell into play? Is it as simple 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.520 as give him early ball? 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.760 It really is up to Latrell. Like, if Latrell wants 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.760 to be involved, he could be the best player in 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.040 the field. Where he doesn't want to be involved, he's 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.399 really hard to drag in. Like you will say put 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.600 this play on, he'll say no. But then when he 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.120 will say give me the ball, and you're like just 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.639 giving it all. So it really depends on the move 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.520 that Latrell's in. We've seen that the way that he 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.120 plays when he goes after the contest, like he has 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.560 the last couple of weeks, like he is very good. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.680 So I don't think motivation is going to be the 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.399 issue for the trail here. I think the fact will 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.799 be when it gets fatigued, when there's tire moments, will 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.440 he be able to steal hold his gloves up for 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.880 long periods of time. And the other part is his discipline, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.600 Like he has been ill disciplined at different stages in 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.680 heightened moments. But I see why they picked him. I 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.360 don't know why they pick him in game two when 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.400 they wouldn't pick him in game one. I don't know 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.200 what's changed there. Maybe that conversation happened between imagine Latrell. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.480 But he is an out and out star and he 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.200 can literally win you the game with one touch. Twenty 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.560 nineteen Grand Final is exactly that. He was quiet in 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.840 terms of Grand Final and then with a moment in 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.280 one game he goes down a short side flicks the 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.240 pass ends up being the game that wins the Russes 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.840 the Grand Final. So that is why he can He 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.120 can be in the team and can win it. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.720 I think it'll really suit your own because I find 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.320 the rome. Although he took him to the line a 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.360 few times against Newcastle on Sunday and look very good. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.240 But I think Jerome's his best football. I see when 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.080 he's very clear cut. He either takes the defense on, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.080 challenges him or bang foods early. And that's one thing 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.160 I always like love playing alongside guys like Maddie Gidley, 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.280 Tamana Tahu because you took the guest work out. If 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.200 you had not flow it something, you just go bang 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:24.040 let him have the ball. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.599 Well, sometimes when you play red football, you can't expect 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.279 players from other clubs to play your style. You probably 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.400 need to meet in the middle little bit, and Jerome 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.480 does like having a center that will run a line 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.080 for him and then plays out the edwards out the back. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.480 Latrell's not a line runner as such, he is give 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.280 me the ball, I'm presence fan flick and get the pass. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.840 So there will be a little shift. But having the 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.320 threat of Latrell on the outside, it'll be Valentine Homes, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.039 It'll be vowed val Homes and Hammer on the left, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.200 it will give the threat for Jerome to run because 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.960 once Owl's eyes go to Latrell, which is a huge presence. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.320 We saw what Jerome can do on the weekend and 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:03.240 cut straight through. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.799 On the other side, you got Mitch Moses have Stephen 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.080 Crichton as his center, who is a dream bloat to 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.240 play with Stephen because he. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.280 Has a defensive center in the world right. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.560 Now, and I reckon with the football. He has few demands. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.440 He'll He'll play either side. It doesn't worry him. You 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.120 can take him to the line. Hit a whole, doesn't 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.360 worry him. Food him early, doesn't worry. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.080 He's yeah, he's a great, great player. Tehim right. If 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.440 I was picking a back line, he'd be one of 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.919 the first to pick at the moment. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.760 The Colin Watson tall three. But we got picked because 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.520 he was on the show Sunday night, right, and we're 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:35.960 at the back. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.520 I didn't know he's in the side. 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.080 I didn't know. I didn't know he'd heard. He's sitting 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.960 there and he's here in all the reports. And I said, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.840 do you know anything kind of He said, I haven't 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.919 had a call. I don't know. Literally, As he said that, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.400 his phone rings looks still. He bath looked down. This 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:56.280 is before the show, before the show, it's Madge and 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.640 I look at him and he is and hello. Now 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:05.800 you know what receptions like in this building because he goes, hey, Madge, Madge, Madge. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.000 He just dropped out, so we had to run outside. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.160 I'm showing him how to get it certain he's running 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.080 outside and make you see the sweat coming off him 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.760 like his wait of course calls him. And on the 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.120 show we had to be Corey because he said I'm 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.720 about to go on Madie show, and of course mad 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.360 shit himself. It was like, oh mate, whatever you do. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.760 But and after the show, as we were leaving, I said, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.320 con well done, because you know him better than he's 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.400 lovely and he said, Maddie, how bizarre is rugby league? 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.719 He said, not that long ago? He said, I'm playing 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.320 reserve grade. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.680 I'm pet in origin, playing reserve grade. Multiple long term 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.760 injuries was that the Roosters went to the Knights, came 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.240 back and I think he potentially could have left the 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.719 Roosters at one stage there maybe started this year, but 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.400 chose to stay. But he has been outstanding and now 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.039 there's a thought that he should be the nine for 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.719 Roosters like Brandon Smith's going through what he's going through, 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.960 but great reward, but there's still got the issue there 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.680 obviously kind of can play in the nine. Multiple positions 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.600 in the hearts and that, but that outside back position too, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.120 that Hudson Young had the feeling. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.360 We just jumped back there. You said on Brandon, the 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.080 emergence of Connor as a legitimate number nine I think 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.800 can really take the Roosters to the next level. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.360 I think Brandon off the bench and be all running 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.400 for middle Ford. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.880 Would I would start with Brandon minutes in the game, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.280 take him the wrestle and bring him on just after 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:33.840 halftime as a middle runner forward. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.400 Yeah, I don't mind it. I think the thing with 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.800 Brandon is Brandon made a name for himself at Melbourne 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.800 Storm for fighting over a loose ball on the ground. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.400 He was always the first together. He fought over everything. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.680 That competitive spirit made him become. I think he won 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.840 Hooker of the Year at one stage when Harry Grant 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.760 wasn't there through period time, and I think he's lost 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.600 that desire to fight, scrap and claw for it. If 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.520 he gets it's that back, he can play anywhere. It's 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.400 up to Brandon Smith to get that determination back. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.360 On bias with Brandon, I'll say that I love his 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.200 personality and he's just he's got a big heart and 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.680 I love him as a footballer. He's a guy that 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.640 he can keep the heart on the cache. I'm back 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.840 like I'm backing myself to get him going. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.000 He can keep the heart and keep the character. He 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.560 can have the personality. But the thing that made him 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.240 great was when a ball was there between me and 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.680 you to get it, Brandon Smith came through and I 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:32.960 think that's all we need to understand. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.439 Cos No Shewyn Cobbo. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.240 Yeah again, I don't know about the injuries. Go back 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.440 and watch Selwyn's game on the weekend, and he was 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.320 good when he had the ball in his hands and 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.480 he was motivated. But I thought there was a couple 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:50.640 of moments where Selwyn was not concentrating, not focused, not 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.520 really dialed in. I don't know if Billy saw that, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.320 but there has been changes. Maybe it is the rest, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.880 maybe he's carrying something. But you know, the two changes 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.440 are obviously couple on hopgood and Felis cafusin. Kirk Capble 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.040 comes in. So I imagine in terms of the insurance 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.880 policy that Cobbo ended up being in Game one when 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.720 Walsh went down, I imagine that's Kirk Kate well now. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.920 But Cable's been He's coming he's great, great competitor, and 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:18.840 he's been great for Queens. Every time he's. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.560 Played that COVID year that he was terrific. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:26.440 Fantastic is amazing. It's like he knows players better than 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.400 they know themselves sometimes what he spots in them. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.680 I also like that he doesn't listen to outside influence. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.240 He goes to his own decisions. Because having Cobbo in 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.120 the first time, everyone went, where are you going on 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.360 with Cobbo? And he said, look, I've got a plan insurance. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.040 We've lost four of last six outside backs whatever, and 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.920 now he's gone all Cobo's out because of x YS 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.360 that I imagine it's because of his performances after Origin 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.480 one and he's gone with someone else. So he doesn't 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.520 listen to outside He's very sure of the team and 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:58.760 the players he wants to meet. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.960 I think that would be a bad I spoke just 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.800 before I'll speaking to a coach, quite an iconic coach 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.640 from a different sport, and we were having to talk 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.000 about selections. He said, he said, sometimes you just need 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.640 to correct yourself. You need to have the discipline to 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.880 not listen to all the noise and to actually pick 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.240 the side that you know you have to pick, not 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.200 to the one that people are asking you to pick, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.160 knowing that if it doesn't work, they're going to criticize you. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.800 He said, that is a constant battle within yourself and 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.560 you need to maintain the discipline and said, I'm not 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.640 going to listen to that. I'm I'm just going to 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.160 pick this guy because I want to pick him. And 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.920 Slater has done that last year. I could not believe 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.440 when he didn't pick Dang Gaguy. It blew me away 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.400 what gag Guy has done for Queensland. But a tough 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.040 decision was vindicated. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.600 I will say this, You and I and anyone else 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.520 can dissect the Queensland team with players should be or 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.520 shouldn't be, But there's not another person in this planet 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.480 that has watched every Queensland player more than Billy Slater, 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.880 so he knows who he wants, what he needs. And 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.600 the game two, in terms of the style, it ends 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.040 up being moments. Now we're talking about origin moments. Game 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:05.839 two becomes one because New South Wales is going to 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.040 need them, and then obviously a decider if it goes 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.600 to it. But you've got to have players in your 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.240 team one that can produce moments and two that have 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.520 a dog of determination to stop them. That's the key 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:18.920 and I think that's where it sits. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.439 The matchup I'm really looking forward to watching is Stephen 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.440 Crichton against Hamasa. That's a world class match any sport. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.280 Arguably the best defensive center we have. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.880 It's the best attacking I think at the moment, without 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.160 a shadow of a doubt, the best defensive center. I 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.559 haven't seen it. I've never seen a better defensive center. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.280 And against the guy the hammer at the moment, who's 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:40.920 just out. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.480 Of this world with the football, and after what Hammond 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.680 did in Game one, I know, and move positions and everything, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.240 but if there's one guy to stop him strit. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.040 Yeah again we come out Slater. I'm just curious to 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.920 see what Slater what he's got planned, because will be 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.080 something he'll be thinking about. What gives you confidence that 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:00.600 Corinsland is going to win COEPS. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.000 Sometimes you've got to play with the momentum and there's 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.560 pressure building on New South Wales. There's obviously game two 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.400 beaten up in Game one, and the coach might make decisions, 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.720 the team might play a certain way. There's definitely some 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.560 individuals when pressure comes that they might make a bad decision. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.960 And if I'm the Queensland team, the thing that gives 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.800 me confidence is they should take this game to the 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.400 very last minute, take it deep, defend, keep doing what 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.720 you need to do and maybe New South Wales players 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:31.720 make the wrong decision. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.880 What gives me confidence simple Latrell, Mitchell, Stephen Crichton and 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.920 I know there's a lot of things, just the power, 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.480 speed skill. The presence of those two reminds me of 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.640 Miles from aninger back in the day, and I'd love 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.480 to see him like a few years ago, with Turbo 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.120 and Latrell linking playing together. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.680 What about Latrell's defense. Obviously he's a star and he's 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.160 dominated the left center position defensively for the russ and 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.840 at REP level before, but hasn't done it for a 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.600 while because he hasn't played in Origin being a fullback 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.439 at South any concern. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.000 I really don't. I think on the big stage, I 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.720 think he'll elevate himself and get it done. And the 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.440 other thing about too Coople. Though the MCG is a 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.319 fast track, it's a place it's very hard to move 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.400 the football around as well. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.120 Yeah, I get that. There's one thing I would be 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.000 doing if I was involved in the Queenla I'll make 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.360 Latrol work. That's put it simpler. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.880 My prediction New South Wales twenty two to sixteen Dylan 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.160 Edwards maut of the Match. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.280 Twenty two to sixteen. I'll tell you what'd be a 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.480 hell of a story if if Dylan Edwards does do that, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.920 And I wouldn't be surprised if he did, because the 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.960 way that he plays, he's always involved, he has moments, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.400 and he's a damn good competitor. And the storyline of 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.320 him missing game one into game two, yeah, he w'd 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.560 be primed for this. We're thinking the same way. I'm 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.679 going to go twenty one twenty Queensland field goal Cherry Evans, 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.680 and I think my man of the match is I 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.840 think Queensland winded on effort. I think Lindsay Collins is 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.160 where starting to do things like particularly with the Roosters 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.720 the other day against the Eels. He's done at origin 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.080 level before where he just not too many front rolls 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.400 have moments like he can, and I just think he 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.400 might just have a game. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.520 Coop, Let's go to Club Lean and just go back 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.760 to Hammasa simply this try against the Shark, I mean 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.320 Gi against the Broncos in twenty twelve, but I haven't 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:26.720 seen do. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.120 You reckon trendall? Right? Then when he just missed him 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.200 at the start, knew what was about to happen, Like 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.480 this game is about centimeters and Trindle had one hand 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.320 on that jersey and he runs one hundred meters of 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.840 score ends up being the difference. And the other thing 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.440 that makes me like in awe of this but also 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.360 really jealous of is he is at full throttle here 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.920 and he looks like he's smiling and enjoying it. Kennedy 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.400 comes near him, he went in his own internal monologue 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.359 said no, not today. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.200 Coops, you know, and it's fair before your time. But 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.360 there was a four hundred meter herdline. I've compared him 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:07.800 oftentimes Edward Moses, an American and mate. He was like 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.440 super smooth mover, and I just think of Edward Moses 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.120 when I see hammer. Made me think, you know, in 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.080 rugby league, some other really good movers over the years, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.280 and probably a guy that probably is most like the 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.240 Hammer was Kenny Nagus. Kenny was just beautiful mover. The 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.720 other one, of course, made is your man g I 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.000 I mean here is Clive Churchill medalists in this game. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.920 Ye, just the swerving speed and to accelerate away and 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.440 then this to finish it off too. The thing about 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.600 those guys and just picking it up is when people 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.120 change like stride or speed, they start a step and 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.920 then accelerate. Those guys don't. They're just long legged and 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.280 speed continues and they can swerve and move without slowing down. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.040 It's like when they beat somebody or they just swerve 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.240 an angle. They accelerate rather than brash spoed. They You 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.000 and I had to make one hundred steps and then 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.200 start a step right footnetse. Guys just move smooth at. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.160 Mullins of course, spoke about in a lot here this 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.680 is the night. Of course he's got school four in. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:09.880 Us short sided doing nothing. I have been there making 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:10.360 a tackle. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.400 I put it in the corner mate and mate Mark 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.560 Lamb will just chasing him all the way there. Marlin's incredible. Now, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.760 if I'm going to meet there somewhere, yeah, someone somewhere 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.160 back there. If I'm going to mention this, what's this? 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.520 This could be the greatest try to say ever around, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.960 Maddie says he's gone. Darren Albert I played with Alberie. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.280 I'm telling you, mate, I would back him speed against anything. Now, 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.840 what's interesting, I reckon Albie was just about the last 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.920 of the low work rate, high impact wingers. Like towards 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.040 the back end of the ninety seven season, the fowards 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.600 were blowing up. We've got the stats, we had a game, 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.640 we got beat help His stats were one run two 0:16:54.680 --> 0:17:00.760 meters and then they're quite right, his cables two. 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:02.880 But you went twelve. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:09.359 That Ford's blown up. And remember salv and Andrew we 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.560 were talking about and I love playing with Albi and 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.720 would defend that. And we said, look, here's the thing 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.600 was he's not that type winger. He's not going to 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.640 bust his backside, he's not going to work his ass off. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.439 But what but what we'll have with him is that 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.600 when we need a big play, he'll come up with it. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:29.240 That's the type of winger. This is the Grand Final qualifire. Yeah, 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.680 Maddie Sears the man we just sat you have a 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.600 look at this and just incredible. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.080 But even the body rolled too, like the timing because 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.120 he could have actually got that ball down if he 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.320 didn't roll over and forced Sears onto his back because 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.639 he actually could have got the ball down, but the 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.320 fact that he made it then rolled over the ball 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:50.800 missed the anger we had. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.119 Our sprint coach said, the interesting thing about him, if 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.320 you watch, he didn't actually chase. Now, what I mean 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.920 is when you chase someone, you're really you're busting your back. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.159 He said, you watching him, he's just super smooth, just 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:03.920 keeping that form. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:09.040 Imagine the current day is someone like Alex Johnston, right yep, 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.000 because not high work, right, not powerful out of the 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.840 backfield like some others. But I'll tell you what he scores. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.440 Tries are not too many other and his success rate 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.840 I've tried to score and he went past Slater. 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.639 Yeah, one twenty one off Kenne. 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.880 Does he get there? Does he get yeah? 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.880 I think yeah, I think he does. Just say no, 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.240 you don't think so? No, I grew up here and 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.800 all the stories about Kenovine. He could run on ten 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.919 point zero two seconds one hundred meter with his boots on, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.440 incredible mover North Sydney and Manly would be some feet Yeah. 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.119 So the Warriors, so they switched up. So the thing 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.080 about the Warriors when they were in the run, Seawn 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.000 Johnson wasn't playing that high level got injured against the Ruses. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.480 Then Tomato Martin moves into halfback and all of a 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.280 sudden they put some wins together. And I picked up 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.320 something Webster actually said in the pregame before the Storm game, said, Oh, 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.640 we're actually changing things up. Tomorrow will be the main 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.960 guy and Sean will play second role. So here a 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.200 couple of weeks back, when Sean's in the middle, Charles 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.160 Nipple Cook start on the right and Tomorrow Martin's here 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.320 on the left. Against the Melbourne Storm, they switched it 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.640
