1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Well doneer Canberra. They've got the mine of title and 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: incredible achievement. The other reason Cooper it's incredible achievement is 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: the fact the nature of the way they've played open, 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: free flowing and it's very hard to find consistency playing 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: that way, but they've done. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: It and leaders are like I think the way that 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: they carry themselves from round one in Vegas when they 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: beat the Warriors, they were powerful, they were fast. All 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: the way through to the weekend they were powerful, they 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: were fast. They've improved defensively out of sight. But that combination, 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: like we've spoken about about Tarpaney, Hawsbrough, Papoli mixed with 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: Strange Weeks, said Chris Timicle. There's a real good balance 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: there and there's some guys that have played finals. There's 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: some guys that haven't played finals. But I think the 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: key is Jamal Fogi and the key to that is 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: Ricky Stewart's mental ship through finals and if he can 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: have Jamal Humming at a really high level, I think 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 2: they've got the good balance to do it. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: Haven't They handled Jamal Foggarty leave it. The whole contract thing. 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: Very very good ones because other halfbacks have left other 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: clubs that haven't handled it, and Ricky stew has done 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: a really good job with that and they deserve the 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: position they're in. The one thing they need to do 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: I think is they can't miss week one of the finals. 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: They might rest a couple of as in play badly. 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got. 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: I think they need to win week one. They can't 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 2: go the long way here. They need to have the 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: momentum whatever Ricky does restling players. This weekend is by 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: the bye, but week one at home against Team four, 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: they need to win it. They can't go the long way. 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: I think if they get the balloon popped early, they'll struggle. 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: But they definitely need to capitalize on minor Premiership. 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you you know, I spoke last night about 35 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: how good Horse Bru and Zach Hoskin were, you know, 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: just those blokes with Ben. That was a very very 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: tricky game against the Tigers because they're locked into a position. 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: He had all the crowd, they're ready to celebrate the 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: minor title. You know, Tiger's playing great football that when 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: it came I reckon. The bloke who was monumental in 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: getting the win was Josh Papale, his second stint was 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: really really special and you know it's just he's impact. 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I think they got him home at a crucial time. 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he will in terms of his 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: leadership and experience through the finals. He's the one guy 46 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: that's done at all. Really. So if there's a conversation 47 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: that we had with Ethan Strange, go have a conversation 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: with Papoli. If there's something for the outside backs to go, say, hey, 49 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: what's finals footy? Like, what do we need to get 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: ready for? Go speak to that man. He knows and 51 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: he did it for Queensland. Only a couple of months ago. 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: He came back and did it again, so he's a 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 2: big part of it. 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Tell me about Ethan Strange. 55 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: I really like what Ethan's Strange has done. Right. He 56 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: can run, he can do all these great things. Good defender. 57 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: But there was one moment when Skelton hit him on 58 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 2: the weekend with everything absolutely wiped him out. Bang. Most 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: halfbacks get up, roll around, stay on the ground, look 60 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: for you know, the trainer to come and get He 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: got up and smiled. 62 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Yep. 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: I would sign that kid for a long contract off 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: the back of that. That characters halves, it can handle physicality, 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: can go into the line and create space, will be 66 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: a threat to run most times. And he got up 67 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: and thought he was a chance of score on a try. 68 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: That moment then just showed me that this kid's got 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: it in spades. 70 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: It's a core r to be able to cop a 71 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: lick like that. 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: You shovel the ball sideways and step away from contact, 73 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: you're not going to be effective at your role. But 74 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: he loves it that. That moment of him getting up 75 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: tells me that he's not afraid to make a tackle. 76 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: He's not afraid to run to get hit. And if 77 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: that's your mindset with the half, you can create a 78 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: lot of stuff off the back of that. 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: That was the old school creator since the game was played, 80 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: is you get to your feet, do not show the 81 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: opponent you're injured, Get up and show some character. He 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: did it there this sort Jad and Campbell get that 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: little nudge might have cost the Titans a game, but 84 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: it's that personal prime. 85 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: And like Skelton hit him with everything like absolutely wild. 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: But that in that moment, I said, like, sign this 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: kid up for as long as you want. 88 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Melbourne and the Roosters firstly on Melbourne conceeed forty 89 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: points in the second half, the worst. 90 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: Most and all the time second half points, all the. 91 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: Time coops it it was Craig six hundred like milestone game, 92 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: six hundredth game, and I just wh where did that 93 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: come from? Actually a question before we go. It was 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: a really busy week for belly Ache, like he had 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: numerous things. Had they had the big night with people 96 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: coming from you know, all over Australia, celebrated, but apparently 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: had a couple of other functions as well. Dragon belly 98 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: Ache would look back and go, okay, where there's something 99 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: in my preparation, Yes. 100 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: There would be. He won't ever do that again. This 101 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: might be really strange, but forty points of the second 102 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: half is alarming. But I'm going to say this, I'm 103 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 2: not too worried. If I'm a Melbourne Storm fan, I 104 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't be too worried. Yes, there's moments of defense and 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: poor decisions and lacking of effort and things like that, 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: but go look at their first forty minutes. 107 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was brilliant. 108 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: Go look at the players he rested. So it was 109 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: quite selfless of Craig Bellamy to rest those players in 110 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: game six hundred. Ye, he's got a plan. He knows 111 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: that he sticks to the plan. They're aiming for the 112 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: Grand Final, and I dare say this week and against 113 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: the Broncos, they will play their best football. I just 114 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: feel like Craig Bellamy took a hit for their team 115 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: to set up what they wanted out of September. 116 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm not worried as long as Jerome Hughes is coming back. 117 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: Jerome Hughes won't come back for the season. No, I 118 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: think they'll put him on ice until a previal. 119 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: I know that. No, I don't know, but I'm talking 120 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: about in this competition as far as winning it. If 121 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: you tell me Jerome is not coming back, then after 122 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: the other night, understand all those things, but I go 123 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Melbourne can't win. 124 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: Are you rushing him back this week? 125 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, I don't. There's a little 126 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: bit of talk that Craig will bring him back to 127 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: getting a bit of football. I wouldn't even risk him. 128 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: I think he is on ice until prelim final. They 129 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: can get to a prelim final without Jerome Hughes. But 130 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: I think their game against Broncos is going to set 131 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: up September. If they win and play well, it's everything 132 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: that they want. If they lose the Broncos, then I'm alarmed. 133 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: Coops in the back half of this season. The bloke 134 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: we've spoken about so much as Hugo Sabaha, and I 135 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: like talking about him because you can just see he's 136 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: an example of a player who has got great core 137 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: fundamentals and that's allowed him to improve. The other night 138 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: to look at some of his stuff. But no, Sam Walker, 139 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: there's a big question. Can he run the show? He 140 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: did it. He was fantastic. Again. 141 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: I think he's a smart kid and you tell him 142 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: one thing and he fixes it straight away. Look at 143 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: dropping back out of play because he knows that Angus 144 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Krichton is probably going to come back through. He's setting 145 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: for the next one and kiding game. 146 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: It's to the right spot. 147 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: He doesn't look to get too cute and sexy with 148 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 2: his kicks. His rock solid. He's got a big boot. 149 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: And here is a type of halfback that can execute 150 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: a game plan even in this early stages. You know 151 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: this sort of ballplane here like just leans in a 152 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: little bit, creates a space for Teddy to do his thing. 153 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: And this is the best one. Just this target defender 154 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: leans in Bradley inside Munster and that's the meter that 155 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: to us they. 156 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: Needs that you know, you've got You've got to understand. 157 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: You know, it can be he can be over the 158 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: fast side of the field, but you don't score in 159 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: the opposite corner unless that playmaker starts a stripping process. 160 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: You could play from sideline to sideline unless the two 161 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: or three ballplayers in that chain of passes squares up 162 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: and condenses some type of defense. The half meta you 163 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: get here is a half met you get there is 164 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: a half meter that no longer there. To us, they 165 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: needs to put the ball down in the corner and 166 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: no Sam Walker and here Savala in a big game 167 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: down was it ten mil at half time? Whatever? It 168 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: was pretty good. 169 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: We spoke numerous times and we talk about the fundamentals 170 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: of game, and people we go, mate, so boring talking 171 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: about it again. But I want to give you a 172 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: quote from one of the greatest sportsmen who's ever lived, 173 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, and he spoke about fundamentals, the importance of 174 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: fundamentals and his game. His quote, his quote was the 175 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: importance of mastering basics like footwork, border handling and shooting. 176 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Form is the foundation of improvement and excellence. He said, 177 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: you can you can practice shooting eight hours a day, 178 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: but if your technique is wrong, then all you become 179 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: is very very good at shooting the wrong way. He said, 180 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: why fundament This is why fundamentals matter, he g gives 181 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: you a foundation for excellence. It allows you to continuously 182 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: improve the work ethic. He said. It breeds consistency and discipline, 183 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: and it breeds mental toughness. Always think, do the basics better? 184 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: So let me get this right. You compare hear us Violet. 185 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen slam dunk? 186 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: I totally agree with the fundamental beats. Look, if you 187 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: talk about trying to build a career that's ten years 188 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: plus in basketball or rugby league, you've got to do 189 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: the basics and improve on those things. And every time 190 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: you play the game, you've got to deliver the basics. 191 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: You just don't skip over them. So what's the basics 192 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: in rugby league? Like good technique to tackle if you're half, 193 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 2: it's good kicking technique. And understand the nuance of ballplay, 194 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: Like I'll give you a wrap here without you sort 195 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: of mentoring me earlier, I probably didn't understand the nuances 196 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: of ballplayer. There we go. Yeah, I mean so that 197 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: basic fundamentals are the key to delivering. 198 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: I remember being a young player at the Newcastle Knights 199 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: and standing there watching and we were playing under twenty 200 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: one against the first grade side, and old Alan Bell 201 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: said to me, I want you to watch Mick Hagen. 202 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: It's Michael Hagen has so much time when he ballplays, 203 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: and he said, you watch how early he catches for football. 204 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Of course, Mick had really beautiful hands. He could reach 205 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: and he catch the ball nice and early. The quick 206 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: the earlier the ball hits your hands, the more time 207 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: for vision and to playmake simple. 208 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. And I think if you're going 209 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: to come as a half back in this competition and 210 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: go straight to throwing the ball over the top, you're 211 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: going to miss a lot of cues that start in 212 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: and around the ruck. And they're the basic fundamental. 213 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: Talking a base requirement for fullbacks to these days, you know, 214 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: with speed and skill and all the rest of it, 215 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: but also work ethic and toughness, smarts young at paramatter, mate, 216 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: he's just he's an emerging superstar. It's obvious. 217 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: He's got footwork, he's tough and some of the moments 218 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: to follow through and pick up the offloads at different stages. 219 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 2: Very good. But you talk about the Eels and Io. 220 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: The Eels have the Knights this week. Yep, Matthew, what's 221 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: going on with the Knights? 222 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: Well, it's look, I'm going to stay there the Obviously 223 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: everyone knows this. It's a huge job, and it's a 224 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: huge job from the bottom up and a lot of 225 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: times and our real coaches, head coaches go as far 226 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: as pathways and juniors, that's my job, just not this one. 227 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: This needs a lot of work. In my opinion, a 228 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: head coach, head an, our real coach has to have 229 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: their fingers on the pathways because they've got to have presents, 230 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: and they've got to be able to educate the players, 231 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: be the main man who you're brought in to be 232 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: the smartest bloke in that club, educate the players, and 233 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: to be able to attract players. Like if you want 234 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: to sign a young player, a kid who's just out 235 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: of out of school and you're trying to convince him, 236 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: if you really want to get him to come to 237 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: your club, then you send the head coach, you send 238 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: him along. There's a couple of things coops here, when 239 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: they're going to try to pick the right man. Is 240 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: you've got to ask the right questions. Too often I 241 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: think they go in and they sit there the selection 242 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: board now and they'll just look at a resume and go, wow, 243 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: his assistant to this guy and he did that and 244 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: they won the comp that year. No, No, it's different 245 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: your head coach. The questions you have to ask are 246 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: applicable to the problems that are going to rise the 247 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: next year. So for Newcastle, the obvious one is right, 248 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: we'll Fletcher Sharp, Klen Ponger and Dylan Brown. How we're 249 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: going to solve that puzzle. Secondly, we're really short of 250 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: middle forwards, right, we're skinny there. What style of football 251 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: are we're going to play to allow us to get 252 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: away with that? Asking the right questions allows you to 253 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: find the right blow. 254 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: Is that why Michael Eagan has been brought in? 255 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Haigs, he has, without a doubt through those 256 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: questions to identify the really big issues. I'll give you, 257 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: I'll give you an idea and cops when the Nights 258 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: first coming too, the comp eighty seven going into eighty eight. 259 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: They coming in eighty eight, but had a lot of 260 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: work to do. They had to recruit young players and 261 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: they had to find the right coach. It came down 262 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: to two men. Number of people applied. A guy who 263 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: was a great coach, Ron Willy, who was an older coach, 264 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: had a lot of success in a lot of places, 265 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: very much a discipline aarian, but he looked like the 266 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: ideal blade to bring in, and they brought in. They 267 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: were looking to bring in the late Aliment Mahart, who 268 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: was an emerging coach and coach lower grades a little bit, 269 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: was well regarded, particularly by the Canberra blokes, and so 270 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: it was between those two. Now the selection committee there 271 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: was a couple of guys on there who really knew 272 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: their football. So they put a scenario to both men 273 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: and it was okay, tomorrow we're playing the most brutal 274 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: team and forward pack in the competition, the Kenery Bulldogs. 275 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: We've got a very young side. How do we beat them? 276 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: And Ron Willy played with him did a really funny 277 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: throwaway line. He said, I get up that I get 278 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: up on that Sunday morning, I go to church and 279 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: I pray. Aliment Martin's response was, well, we don't try 280 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: to beat them with forward power. What we do is 281 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: we bring our outside backs in the smaller blokes, quick 282 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: blokes and just make a miss and we just wear 283 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: them down and we complete we whole possession. We don't 284 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: make mistakes, we kick into the far corner, we chase, 285 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: we make them fight for every meter and we might 286 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: not beat them, but we're going to take them all 287 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: the way. And they went, that's our man. 288 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: Good answer. 289 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: It's a good answer. 290 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: So who is who is a candidates? Mate? Who do 291 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: you think would be the Newcastle Knights best option? 292 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got a lot to go through. 293 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: Apparently Willie Peters's have ain't been ringing hot mate. I 294 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: can't believe how many friends I had I never realized 295 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: soon as the coach cajun job I made. I've been 296 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: inundated with calls and people saying, man, we haven't spoken 297 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: for years. 298 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: You didn't return Michael of my interest. 299 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: No, no, you're not the right man for the job. 300 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you there's lots of different ways looking. 301 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: And I've said this and people will go, these two 302 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: guys might not be the right guy for the Knights, 303 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: but you bring him in and you're in a view 304 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: him at least and one is I say, Michael Checker, 305 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: I've said before. Another one is John Strange. People go 306 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: John Strange. He coaches the Rooster's own wyl w I 307 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: watched the way they play and made it. They're highly skilled. 308 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: I love the way they attack. I've heard him talk. 309 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: John Strange. You can see he's a brilliant coach. He's 310 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: very good man manager and you know what, he's worth 311 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: a chat. 312 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: I think, from my opinion, you'd have to do some 313 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: very good research from very good d d on the 314 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: Newcastle Knights, because there's some gaps in their program from 315 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: the top all the way through list playing ability, and 316 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: you'd have to be supremely confident that you can turn 317 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: that around because I think there's a lot of work. 318 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: To do, a lot of work to do, so it's 319 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: a it's a big job. What do you think about 320 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: the Broncos to the point, Ruth Walsh. 321 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Like when Adam Reynolds went down 322 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: with Ezra Man a few weeks ago, everyone thought, oh 323 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: this is the kids are the Broncos and they've played 324 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: some teams or whatever. I get that, but I'll tell 325 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: you what Reese Walsh has stood up and the big 326 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: thing about is you know, how do you coach Reeswalsh? 327 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: Right on the weekend, he threw a pass before halftime 328 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: that's set up a try. This one here that is 329 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: absolutely mind blowing. How he's got that skill to do 330 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: that on the stroke of halftime, no look, pressure coming. 331 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: He throws the ball over the top and then scores 332 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: a try on the corner. But then two minutes later, 333 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: in the first couple of moments in the first half, 334 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: that's a brilliant pass. But then in the second half 335 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: he comes out and does this, goes straight in line 336 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: in a scept So how would you coach Rees Walsh? Well, 337 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you have to coach him to that point, 338 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: because ten minutes later he goes and realize he can 339 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: coach himself. Here's the same play, goes the same position, 340 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: throws a dummy, brings valomet up and the off layer right. 341 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: So I'm not going to go to Reswulsh and say, mate, 342 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: don't throw that again, because he's already educated himself. 343 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Take you take the good with the bad, the. 344 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: Good with the bad. But he telled that play there, 345 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: tells me he's a super smart kid, so I wouldn't 346 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: be coaching the errors or anything, because what he's doing 347 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: at the Broncos is very good at the moment. If 348 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: there's one thing I would coach him on is i'd 349 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: shown the effort plays because if he's got a mindset 350 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: that every moment counts, like Tedesco or Papenhausen, I think 351 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: he can deliver for the Broncos. Tedesco here multiple opportunities 352 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: to give up, he never gives up, moves from the inside, 353 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: goes to the outside, makes a tackle. He's trying to 354 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: win every moment here. Papenhausen at the back trailing through, 355 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: gets to Kara. Karaz is probably going to score here, 356 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 2: but he doesn't. Papenhausen and Tedesco just got this mindset 357 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: that doesn't matter what happens, every moment counts. And if 358 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: Rees Walsh has that mindset, I think he can set 359 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: up for the Brison Broncos. Here is against the Cowboys. 360 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: Watch him out the back, just gets caught napping, trying 361 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 2: to choose his time when to be involved, and look 362 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: what happens kick through Nana. He is out of position. 363 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: So you want him to have the same enthusiastics, enthusiasm 364 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: saving tries to scoring them. 365 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 2: If he's got a mindset that every moment counts, he 366 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: will understand when to throw a pass and when not to. 367 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: Don't coach him and say mate, don't throw that pass 368 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: and put the gun in the whole Stu. I want 369 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: him to back himself because I know Ezra Man and Reynolds. 370 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 2: He needs to be the main man and he's been 371 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant for him. But I would coach the mindset 372 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: and I think he will get there. 373 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: It's funny, very very talented young players who have particularly 374 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: ones that are very good instinctive players. I think sometimes 375 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: they give him too much information early. I think blokeslo 376 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: like Bruce, you almost drip food information and they work 377 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: out himself. The Dogs, they got a lot of criticism 378 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: the other night coming out put himself, but I'll be 379 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: feared of the Dogs and dogs up against Penrith and 380 00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: that was it's a game that the Dogs plays completely honest. 381 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: Would have been very hard to get excited about. You 382 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: know that there was oh you win by forty, of 383 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: course you won by forty. You're playing all these young guys, 384 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, and it's funny, you know when you play 385 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: side Like the other night, I think most cases coops, 386 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: when you go into games, the people say it's a 387 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: fatal complete, you're going to win. You just gonna roll 388 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: over those guys. It's funny you almost try to always 389 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: try to beat them with your attack. That makes sense. 390 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 2: There's a subconscious thought in players that just five percent off. 391 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: That's right. 392 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: Well, it's there. But I will say this about the 393 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: Dogs the other night, that they played like they were 394 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 2: just playing another jersey. They were playing like what's our style, 395 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: And they actually did all the fundamentals really well in 396 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: the first half. High completion rate, early kicking, did all 397 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: those things as if it were September, and started scoring 398 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: points at different stages. So, look, they're not playing to 399 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: the level they were at the start of the year, 400 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: but I thought they were okay against. 401 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: Be One thing I did like is see I mean 402 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: Lachland Galvin's been searching for combinations. I think he's found 403 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: his man without Jacob Press that that has really formed work. 404 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 2: There's better back rolls like kickout or elik angers crime 405 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: guys with more skill and physicality. But as a half, 406 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: I just want a back roll who's reliable, tell him 407 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: to be in the right spot at the right time. 408 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 2: I can pick apart my passing game off the back 409 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: of that. And there was combination against Penrith that they 410 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 2: smashed that hole all night and Preston just keep turn 411 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: kept turning up for him. And they've developed in a 412 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: good combo on that right side. Because there is that 413 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: left side Burton kickout, they need something else on the 414 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 2: right and they're starting to get it done with these two. 415 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: Is good an old team out of yours, entrepreneur. 416 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: He is the only I'll say this respect but he's 417 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: the player of the Bulldogs in the forward pack that's 418 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: got leg speed, power and the oppositosition would be wary 419 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 2: of every time he touches the football. The combination of 420 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 2: him and current man on the weekend was a point 421 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: of difference, Like I really liked that combination after twenty 422 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: to thirty minutes. This one here like that. 423 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: It's great. 424 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: As a ballplayer, you just give it to him every 425 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: time he is shot out of a cannon there. So 426 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: I think he would. He is a big part of 427 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: what the Bulldogs want to do because they do lack 428 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: a bit of power and physicality. He's the man. 429 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: Look at that, Jesus mate. He takes them stopping. He 430 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: doesn't know when he's tackled. Raiders can rest players. Storm 431 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: were gown. He rest all of them, but it's going 432 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: to rest from the majority to else the other side. Raiders, 433 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: We've said about a few clubs, Penris, they got a 434 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: lot of criticism. I'll be honest, Ivan, I rest the 435 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: same players again. 436 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: Do it again. 437 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: I do it again. 438 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: I'll tell you why they should do it again is 439 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: they're trying to do something that no one else has 440 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: even truck got closer to doing for a long time. 441 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: Their players are cooked. What I would do if I 442 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: was Ivan clearing, is they play on Saturday afternoon, Broncos 443 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: play Thursday night, Warriors and Roosters play Friday night. They're 444 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 2: basically going to know what their scenario is by the 445 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: time they play on Saturday. If it is they, I'd 446 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: rather play the Sharks or the Warriors, then I'd play 447 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: the Broncos. If I'm I'm Penrith, So what I would do, 448 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 2: I just wait see what the how the table forms 449 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 2: out before I play. And if I'm going to rest 450 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: Moses Leota, Nathan Cleary, Isaiah Dylan Edwards and Martin everyone 451 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: else play, go out there and get you your rust. Out, 452 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: But these five guys, you are the Ferrari and the Garage. 453 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 2: I'm resting you up. Okay, And if he gets to 454 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: another Grand Final, Ivan Cleary, you and I had taken 455 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 2: a bottle of wine over to his house. That's tremendous. 456 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: Nice peanut, take three coops. Okay, resting players this one. 457 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: The dogs. Dogs are still really trying to find that 458 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: new style with the new order of the new structure 459 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: of the spine. Can do you think, Camcerella, can you 460 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: afford to give them a rest again this week? Because 461 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: they are locked in the third? 462 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 2: Are locked in? No? 463 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Okay, Well they've got the Sharks. Give me 464 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Sharks a disappointing yes. Can I 465 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: show your set and you commentated on this and I 466 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: heard you say it as this set was. This is 467 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes into the game. My problem with the 468 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: SHARKI sometimes with the attack is they're constantly playing half 469 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: field football and they're oftentimes they're just resettings. Now, half 470 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: half field football is very very good for the setup. Okay, 471 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: setting things up. They open they field up a bit here, 472 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: but it's again a little bit two sideways from here. 473 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: They just start resetting the mill, coming back in the middle, 474 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: coming back of that, and. 475 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: Coming off the buy. It's a good time of year 476 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: for a Finals team to have the buy. I thought, 477 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: in good conditions are at Shark Park, they were going 478 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: to come out of the blocks and really dominate. But 479 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: they were a bit two sideways for me. 480 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 481 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. The best set or the best moment of play 482 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 2: for the Sharks was when Brayley ran that forced Niko 483 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: Heines to run, which forced Trindle to run. And there 484 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: was two sets within that game that that was the case, 485 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: and it was their best part. You know this part 486 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: here Brayley gets out Ye, forces Nico Heines become a 487 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: ball runner, forces Trindle to push through the hole, and 488 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: look how much better that foot. 489 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: Is cook and Curdy isn't. 490 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, actually, and this one here Brayley gets out, 491 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: Nico runs into ball runner mode, quick play the ball 492 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: and what happens shift the ball out to the left hand, 493 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: Zie try score and coops. 494 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: The thinking about it is one thing I really love 495 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: about Sharks players. The wrench back row was they hit 496 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: a hole so beautifully. 497 00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: Miss Nikkeer. 498 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: Tig Wilton is very game. He'll hit the line. So 499 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: for that reason to understand. When you're playing half field football, 500 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: it's natural the holes are holes are more narrow when 501 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: you can if you can play a half field and 502 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: hit them on one side, like we talk all the time, 503 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: shot shot. It's also when you're playing for alongside the 504 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: holes another half meter wider which suits the ability to 505 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: play through. Just find them. I mean, it's going to 506 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: be an amazing final round the way things have fallen 507 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: into place. A lot of other shows are going to 508 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: cover off what they are and what it means. But 509 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: Chi's Friday night. Roosters in South massive roosters playing great football. 510 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: Souths are preparing an ambush. Well is it an ambush? 511 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: If you know what's coming that. 512 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: Could be that would be an absolute crack up. 513 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: If Souths managed to beat the Roosters. At the moment, 514 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: there's points differential. Roosters have got fifteen points on the Dolphins. 515 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: Dolphins play the Raiders on Sunday. Who will rest play? 516 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: And you think if southsplat the Roosters, that's just kind 517 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: of providing enough motivation Dolphins to get it done. 518 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 2: And you saw yesterday what is aka tower tray full 519 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: and Nicoreema could do in a split moment, so the 520 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: fact that the old enemy rusters verse sous on a 521 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: Friday night, it still has an impact.
