1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Brod A Kops. 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 2: We're certainly at the pointy end here, just quick before 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 2: we start, well under the Tiger isn't a Benji Marshall, 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 2: because you know, there was pressure there and a lot 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: of people talking about. 6 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Have they improved have they not? 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: But Benji held his nerve and they've been They've been fantastic, Blake. 8 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 3: They've definitely improved. Nine wins for the season, the same 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 3: as Manly. They're coming off a very low base, but 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 3: they have improved that. He got some talent into the 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: joint YEP with may Lewi Taruva, and he stayed strong 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 3: and stoic in his belief because he had a lot 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: of things coming at Himlachlan Galvin leaving all that stuff, 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: but he made a really cuple of tough decisions and 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 3: he's not at the end of it, but at least 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: there's some positivity on the Tiger's. 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: Got slightly on Dewey too. 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: What's really important for Adam is that he doesn't try 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: to be a conventional heartbeat. 20 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: Now he's taken his talents to the number. 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: So we spoke about Jake Avarillo come in being good 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: for a week or two. Well, he's done well for 23 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 3: three weeks now he can't over engineer it. Just keep 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 3: doing what you're. 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: Doing, Xavier, Coach Daniel two. 26 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: One of the main things we should take about last 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: week is the interpretation now the rule you can't defense. 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: You can't hit the attacking player in the end in 29 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,279 Speaker 2: the air. Sorry, and Xavier and Daniel two are getting 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: to the point they're almost undefendable. 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: It was so good on the weekend when the ball 32 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: goes up, the adrenaline Russian exulting. But how do you 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: handle Coats? There's two ways. Brion tottl went to row 34 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: ten to get the run up to try and leap 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: up with Xavier Coats physically utmatched here, but he tried 36 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: his absolute backside off and still half a centimeter from it. 37 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 3: Here Codes has got the leg up. Brian Tottal comes 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: back and tries to generate speed to jump up and 39 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: that left hand of Coach just comes up and is 40 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: the difference. I'm not sure what Total does next time 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: the Penrith Panthers play Melbourne Storm. But he tried his 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: backside off and still can't. There's centimeters in that still 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: can't get it. On the other side, Look what Twyla 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: is doing. It's almost Twyler's gone to the basketball box 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 3: out Daniel Tuba to try and keep him off his 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: run and still. 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: Got an out muscle just gone around him. Tupo looked 48 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: as though he was sort of getting. 49 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: To the twilight of his career and you know he's mate. 50 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: He changed midway tow as to say, I can't compete, 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: so now I'm just going to let him catch it, 52 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 3: and sits under the drop zone, thinking I'll just wait 53 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: till Tubo catches it, gets his foot down, tries to 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: tackle him, separate. So what you do on Coats and Tubo, 55 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 3: I don't have the answer. Bit. Ultimately, you need a 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: bigger winger to opposite him and they need to jump 57 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: up at the same time. 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: The rooster fifty to fifty last week. 59 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: For me, there was anomally in the odds with the 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: comp winning the competition. Yeah dogs last week at six 61 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: to one, and you had the Roosters win the comp 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: at forty one dollars yep. 63 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: When they played each other. 64 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: If you look at the market, it was a toss 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: of a coin near the way. And roosters have gone 66 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: into nineteen is now. They have shortened up massively Sam 67 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: Walker's made an enormous difference. 68 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: We'll get to seem in a minute. 69 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: Just on talking about the bombs, I want to put 70 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 2: focus on the history of the game. I like talking 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: about the history of the game and for younger viewers 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: to know sort of where we come from and where 73 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: things are going. And the originator, the godfather of the 74 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: bomb was fella called Johnny Peared PDY. Just terrific player, 75 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: but one of the great blokes. PDY played in those 76 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: great eastern suburb sides and then went to Paramatta and 77 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: he was his nickname was the Bomber. He was the 78 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: guy that really brought the bomb to be to be 79 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: really a big weapon. 80 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: Now, so what's a tactic in these days? What's the 81 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: tactic here? 82 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Well? Cook, what it was? 83 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: Okay, it was a fifty to fifty contest, knock it 84 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: up traditionary. But the other thing about a coop was 85 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: back in the day. In this instance, now, let's say, 86 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 2: is if you caught the ball in the end goal 87 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: you're a balmain player then, and you got hit the goal. 88 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: It wasn't twenty met to restart. It wasn't a twenty 89 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: met to restart. It was a repeat set. So this 90 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: was a tactic for the repeat set, and not just 91 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: to score a tripe, but repeat set for extra possession. Now, 92 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: what's interesting, coop. Right through the sixties through to the eighties, 93 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: this was huge tactic in the game. Let's go forward. 94 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: Let's go forward now to the nine to eighty five 95 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: Grand Final and this was Kenry Bulldogs up against Saint 96 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: George Dragon's. Now what the tactic here or this tactic 97 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: to find the game? They just kept putting the ball 98 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: up to the fullback. Burgess, look at this bang and 99 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: just kick all game. 100 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Just got the ball back, just keep going the ball 101 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: back and it just went this is all in the 102 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: first half. This is early in the game. 103 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: So would I be right off the back of this 104 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: Grand final? They changed the rule. 105 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: They changed the rule straight after this Grand Final. They'd 106 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: realized what had happened and that this tactic was just 107 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: defining contests. 108 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: So that's where they made the decision. 109 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: Okay, so there's been an evolution into how they changed 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: the rule. Firstly, they said, right, the first interpretation was 111 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: if you put a bomb up within the attacking twenty 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: five quarter and the fullback diffused it, then twenty met. 113 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: A roostat, but if you kicked it outside the twenty. 114 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: Five, it was play on. And then eventually it started 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: to get complicated. They went, you know what the bottom 116 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: line is, it's the fullback cash of the ball on 117 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: the fall in the end goal twenty met a restat. 118 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: It's tilled about the Broncos and the coops, no Adam Reynolds, 119 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: no Isramn. We spoke last week how important it was 120 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: for rus Wolf's to step up. I think his best 121 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: performance in eighteen months by. 122 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: A country mile. Whatever he did before that game, bottle 123 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: it and release it again this weekend. He was dynamic, 124 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: he was dialed in. And we always say this about 125 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: fullbacks when they have a big game, it's almost key 126 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: to what their first touch was. Yeah, Bruce Walsh didn't 127 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: finesse it here straight back in the teeth of a 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: couple of kick returns, and then when he decided to 129 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: hit the scoreboard have an impact forty twenty to start 130 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: the second half went on scored four tries. But the 131 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: Broncos have found their recipe with no Ezra Man and Reynolds. 132 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: Yep, open up the. 133 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: Field, get Reswalsh involved. Because there was a try just 134 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: before halftime where they's played from that wide field position. 135 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: He was one on one with Isaiah Cartower this is 136 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: it here and just used his speed, set up his 137 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 3: outside man and Shibasaki comes back here and Reswalsh scores. 138 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: So for your team this weekend on Sunday afternoon, Jack Cooger, Arthur, 139 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: the halves, the Brison and Broncos game plan should be 140 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: shift from wide field positions. Get Reswalsh one on one 141 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: and he will cause. 142 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: That ax's And we said that last week the Broncos 143 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: looked their best when they open the field up. And 144 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: even in that instance, they don't open the field right up. 145 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: They actually moved just before the scrum line. But even 146 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: then it's just enough for Walsh. He creates mismatches and 147 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: he burns that third last defender. 148 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: That is the look they need every game here from 149 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: the air on out until well even when Ezra and 150 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: Adam come back. But in the meantime, get your main 151 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: man involved because he was everywhere. He was brilliant. That's 152 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: his best performance in a long time in the Broncos jersey. 153 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: You know, really impressive about the Broncos to Coops's and 154 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: again we've spoken on this is we said, the next 155 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: step for the Broncos is going to be the ability 156 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: to continue to play the style of football they should play, 157 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: which is expansive, exciting football even when the game's on 158 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: the line. 159 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: Because they looked to me that they're a team. 160 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: That when they skipped clear a fair bit against a 161 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: few sides. 162 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: In the last month, they look great. 163 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: They put them down, but when the game was on 164 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: the line they were tightened. In this game against against 165 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: the Dolphins, there was periods there where the game was 166 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: in the balance and they continued to play this style 167 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: of football. 168 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: Reswalsh down a short side, Res Walsh on the long side. Right. 169 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: That's ulterately where it sits like. The confidence they played 170 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: was four tries in that second half. This try here, 171 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: the Walters kick was brilliant. Yeah, whatever they did, whatever 172 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: mindset they were in, that's the rinse and repeat for 173 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: the Broncos for the remainder of the year. 174 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: Fantastic as well. 175 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: How good was he match up with Hammer? 176 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: It was so good. 177 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: They both had a try early and Catoni stags like, 178 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: I don't know, he's gone on. 179 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: Another level this year on the losing side. 180 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: Fantastic to see Tray Fuller back he's come back from 181 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: an acl injury, really found his feet again and some 182 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: of the things he did in the game. He can 183 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: do things in the game others can't, like if you 184 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: look at a lot of the Indigenous players, this is 185 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: up one of. 186 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: The better individual tries of the season. My second tackle, 187 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: big game Battle of Brisbane. He takes a hit up 188 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: into the teeth of the Broncos defense. Footwork, speed and 189 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: more so that gets in through. Is the courage? 190 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. 191 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: And then he gets to the backfield he sets up 192 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: respokes with the dummy and try like. 193 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: That with a lot of the Indigenous players. 194 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: And I played with a lot of boys and the 195 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: ball just bounces from there. 196 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 3: Do they can k to the football? 197 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 2: Beautiful hands and the blake I talk about all the time. 198 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: The most natural footballer I ever played with was Owen Craigie. 199 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: I remember a game in the late nineties and made 200 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: he he did something here. 201 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: The game is amazing. This is it? Mind you? 202 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: He's a right foot, he's corner kicks on his right, 203 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: bounce back, scores to troll pretty good from Craigi. 204 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: But I like the lead up work. I'm not whose who. 205 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: That was, but that was amazing that someone it was 206 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: a tribute. 207 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: About Indigenous Round. And the thing I love about Indigenous 208 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 3: round is the indigenous players are the best players in 209 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: the field. Yeah, like Cady Walker comes back from a 210 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: London different makes a huge difference. Sets up two tries 211 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 3: were always spoken about. To Tony Stags, Niko Hines was brilliant, 212 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: like in the history of Indigenous Round, like if you 213 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 3: go through and see who's the best play of the field, 214 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to say a large percientage are Indigenous players. 215 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt and Fuller and now one Joe 216 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: Gray is that this is the two guys who are 217 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: shortened stature, that they got fast feet and they're tough. 218 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: They didn't want to take them and it just shows 219 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: you in this modern game with sixty goes and the 220 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: fatigue through the middle of the ruck and that's where 221 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: the space is, how they use that to their advantage. 222 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: We spoke about when was it a couple of weeks ago? 223 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: So Sous played the Titans and the week before Souths 224 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: got smashed by the Brison Broncos, and we said, if 225 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: they're going to avoid the woodenspoon, it's going to be 226 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: based on effort heart and character. Gray had three back 227 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: to back players three in a row that saved a try. 228 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: It was a try saving tackle. He got up close 229 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 3: to the line, saved another one. Then he chased through 230 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: on the kick and I think it was Isaiah ai 231 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: in like a couple of minutes ago. He literally won 232 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 3: the game with that tackle. Yeah, broke through the line, 233 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 3: beautiful offloat. I think it was Junior Barla and the 234 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: lead up. But if he had missed that legs tackle 235 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: by half a meter, I think I only carries him 236 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 3: over and wins the game. Gray was fantastic. 237 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: If everyone's available. 238 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 2: Let's imagine going into the semifinals next week and at 239 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: South from the finals is a joy. Gray fullback Latrell 240 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: stays in the centers. 241 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: Look, that's a different scenario that I'm in a finals, 242 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: in a big game. I think Latrell needs to be 243 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: with the one. 244 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: But I'd have Gray fowardeen. 245 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, but right now, playing next week, Latrell's back Gray 246 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: as fullback. 247 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Coops just back on the roosters for second. 248 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: And I want to talk about Sam Walker, and I 249 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: want to give you a wrap here because because mate, 250 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: when Sam come into grade, and may you put a 251 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: lot of information when you worked really hard with him 252 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: and put a lot of work in. Now, this is 253 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: what I see with footballers right, particularly instinctive footballers, Like 254 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 2: he's the sort of kid seeing that he would be. 255 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: He'd had a football in his hands and boots on 256 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: his feet before he was out of nappies and he 257 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: was just one of the best instinctive footballers I've seen. 258 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: But instincts in the NRAL link and you carry so far. 259 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: You have to have a football education and when you 260 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 2: go into an NRL system and you've just through on 261 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: your instincts and spot and what you're seeing playing reactive football, 262 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: being taught structure feels like you've been fitted for a 263 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: straight jacket and it takes a long time to sort 264 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: of blend those together and the work that you've put 265 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: into him. 266 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: Coop. I think these. 267 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: Twelve months he'll look back at the twelve months out 268 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: of the game and say it was actually a blessing 269 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: because it's enabled him to sit away from the week 270 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: to week pressure and actually process all the information. 271 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? 272 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: And what you're seeing now at the moment is in 273 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: a really sweet spot instinct meets education and since he's 274 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: returned the best he has ever played. 275 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: But look at the difference in the roosters. 276 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 3: I think anyone who works with Sam like now or 277 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: into the future, you're never going to touch the cool 278 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 3: stuff like you just don't say, oh, don't do that anymore. 279 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: It's just like keep doing that, like back yourself. But 280 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: if you can pick up these basic fundamentals, I think 281 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: it will compliment. So he's played some really good games 282 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: for the Rousters. I would argue that's one of the 283 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: best based on a couple of things. He ran the football. 284 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: He knew that Preston was going to come after him, 285 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: so he avoided contact by stepping weaving. And he still 286 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: had the cool, sexy things that we will marvel at 287 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: and the high real stuff. But the thing that I 288 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: was impressed with he kicked the ball to Tupo. He 289 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: saw that Tula was out of position and nervous. Normally 290 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: Sam would go for another trick shot over. He scored 291 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: that set up the trot, but he kept coming back. 292 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 3: That's understanding the science of the game, and when it's 293 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: a game of chess is that you found a crack, 294 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 3: don't go away until they fix it. And they kept 295 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: I thought they'd put Crichtono the wing, but they didn't. 296 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: Kept toila the Sam kept kicking the ball a couple 297 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: of tries. Yeah, it was a pretty good performance. And 298 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: to be fair, I thought Hugo Savalla was very good too. 299 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Mateops coops you mate. 300 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: He has been so impressive and it's the explosion of 301 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: Sam coming back in his form that has sort. 302 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: Of stopped Higo getting the raps. He deserves this. 303 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: You know what I love for Beck Hugo is that 304 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: and and this has to be the basis when you 305 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: come through into the grades, you have to have really 306 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: strong core fundamentals. And if you look at it, mate, 307 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: he's very good at recognizing you know, three on two 308 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: situations he's got he's got nice hands, he's got a 309 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: beautiful pass and that is that's that is the core 310 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: when you're a playmaker. I mean, if you look at 311 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: Newcastle yesterday, Newcastle a couple of times blue simple two 312 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: on one situations and if you look at those Tiger sides, right, 313 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: Benji talks about this all the time. 314 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: That's a nice player. So he's got really nice little 315 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: straight but. 316 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: He understands the smarts of footing like he's intelligent because 317 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 3: he knows he's got a five on four advantage on 318 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: that play, so he just stays square and let's Tedesco 319 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: take advantage up against kickout. He would have seen vision 320 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: all week about our kickout flies out of line and 321 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: almost annihilates halves. He realizes that kickout sometimes does it, 322 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 3: so steps off the right, beats him with a bit 323 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: of footwork and now he's starting to plan at that time, 324 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: just cops a whack and let's someone else to the 325 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: thing because he gets to his target defender. So again 326 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: running the football like he had a really good game 327 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: and he matched Matt Burton in the long kicking game. 328 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: He did like that, that's hard to do. 329 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: That is hard to just that's nice, that's a beautiful play. 330 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: But yeah, like Benji talks about, Sheensy was the same 331 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: before and he said that Sheen's just worked two on one, 332 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: three on two hands every session skill and they were 333 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: going on this again. 334 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: But it's the core fundamentals. 335 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: Now, you can have all the great attack and sequences 336 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: you want, but if your playmakers don't have those core fundamentals, 337 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: everything collapses. When you're a playmaker, as well as making 338 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: your pass easy to catch that makes sense, you know 339 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: what I mean? Like you know when you're a playmaker, 340 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: you know you're throwing to me or vice versa. 341 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: Last thing you need is a ball that's coming. 342 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: On that all the time and you go down Hugo 343 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: and blokeswil Wade Egan. It's just it rotates beautifully out 344 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: of the hands. You could see it's an. 345 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: Easy pass to catch. DC coops. We talked about see 346 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: him and you go. 347 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: It's a big talking point at this time of the 348 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: year and what they're going to do. 349 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, first and foremost well daily players Game three point 350 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 3: fifty this weekend should he should be celebrated as one 351 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: of the greatest manly Seagulls players of all time. He's 352 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: going through a tough spot at the moment, but whatever 353 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: celebrations I have, he deserves everything that's coming his way. 354 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: And you and I can speak to this because he's 355 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: thirty six years of age, may or may not be 356 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: playing on next year. We've got no idea. But there's 357 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 3: one thing that you need to be able to do 358 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: as a half back at the later stages is you 359 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: need to stay physical. And on the weekend, there's a 360 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: couple of moments where we're daily sort of removed from physicality. 361 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: The ball goes through here and Daily has an opportunity 362 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: to come back through here on thruver and missed him. 363 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: That's the hips tackle legs tackle every daily week. You 364 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: and I both know as a half, once you lose 365 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: that physical nature, no shoulder contact falling over, you're missing 366 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: the contest. And I feel like when it's this is 367 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 3: the defensive aspect of it. On the flip side, when 368 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: you're running the football, you need to be able to 369 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 3: take advantage of a run this one here, that is 370 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: a left foot run. The ball carry over Dewey's score 371 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: every day of the week. Yep, he just finessed to 372 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: the left hand side. So the advice to Daily is 373 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 3: if you want to play on, do whatever, but find 374 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 3: your physicality. Because I know the back end of my career, 375 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 3: I limped to the finish line like getting a whack. 376 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: Squaring up the fenders wasn't enjoyable at thirty six years 377 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 3: of age, but you have to do it because it 378 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: created space for other people. Once I stepped away from it, 379 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: that would have hurt the team's performance. 380 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I foind, that's like I back into my curse. 381 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: Started to get a lot of hamstring and soft tissue injuries, 382 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: and it was an awful feeling because in a game, 383 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 2: you're looking for space. 384 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you know, when you got younger. 385 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: Legs, midway through your career, all of a sudden, there's 386 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: a space and you go through it. That's what you're 387 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 2: looking for at the very back in my last year, 388 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 2: like I'd see a little bit of space and I'd go, 389 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: oh no. 390 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: Defensively, defensively backroll, come out, you backpedal and just try 391 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 3: to absorb contact. In your twenties, you hit your shoulder 392 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: and you're taking to contact. So he just needs to 393 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 3: find the physicality. 394 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: It was in fact, talking to Brad Parker, who had 395 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: a terrific career Brad at Manly. I was talking to 396 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: him about, you know, the decision to retire, and he said, 397 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: I just kept breaking down. 398 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: He said it got. 399 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: To the point that the boys would laugh at training 400 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: because trying to warm up it to take me so 401 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: long to gruse the wheels. And he said he knew 402 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: it was time because in the game he took an 403 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: intercept and as soon as he took the intercept, he 404 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: went off. You know what, I mean he's going on no, 405 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: you know, and it was like he was almost like 406 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 2: waiting for the defenders to catch up to him because 407 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: he felt like he was about to tear something. 408 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: Did you have a moment at the back end when 409 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 3: you just knew you were done? 410 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 2: Oh, definitely last year, you know it's but yeah, you 411 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 2: actually the longer you ago, if you're not careful, like 412 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: you know through the crier, you start to suffer some 413 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: concussions and sometimes when you get to the very end, 414 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: you get more susceptible, get to the point you get 415 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: nicked on the chin. 416 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: And it was for me if there was if I 417 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 3: watched the game back and for example daily there against 418 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: the Tigers, if I saw that I didn't run the 419 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: ball because I passed, that was a sign for me 420 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: I didn't want to take it. He would have seen 421 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 3: that left foot back inside because he's a smart footy player, 422 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 3: but he just want he was moving two sideways and 423 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: wanted to shove off the past. What do you reckon 424 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: about lade Egans service from best. 425 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: In the game, he's the whast seven firstly. 426 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 2: Like and with centralize your attack, no doubt, mate, and 427 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: the Tanner Boyd and Chanel looked so comfortable with him there. 428 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 1: But again you talk about kauf Hun. 429 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: This bloke's got the best pass in the game, right, 430 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: and just the way links around the rucks. To god, 431 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: he's got a lot of camera and smith in him. 432 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: But just if you just watch the pass and it 433 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: comes out and it just rotates beautifully. 434 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're a playmaker and you'll. 435 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: See at first receiver and copy it off wage you 436 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 2: can almost catch the ball blindfolded. 437 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: They're just a replica. Every pass is a replication forever time. 438 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 3: Do you think it should be a spiral pass or 439 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: the traditional. 440 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: Six This is interesting, Coop. 441 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: This is because I see when they're coming through the grades, 442 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 2: young school boys players, they get taught six o'clock passing. 443 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: Now for people don't know what that is. 444 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 2: It's basically where your hands go down and you pass 445 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 2: like that and the ball comes out over It rotates 446 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: over and over. 447 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: Right. We spoke about this before. 448 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: I agree with that when you go to the line, 449 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: if you go to the line holding the ball to 450 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: ad pudo style, as you said before, it becomes predictable. 451 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: They can see that. 452 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 2: But your hips by mechanics I'm getting rid of in 453 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: a change but your hips drops and you don't have 454 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: good as. 455 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: Running through it. 456 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: When you hold the ball down nice and low, you 457 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: are more open to a short pass and be able 458 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: to run the ball. But coops, I think what's imperative. 459 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: If the pass is going to go more than five meters, 460 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 2: you've got to roll the wrists over the top and 461 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: get it rotating. 462 00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to catch. 463 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: I want to cop a long ball off you that's 464 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: sort of spinning and going up the lind. 465 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: I want nice rotation on the ball. That's just predictable. 466 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: I know where it's coming from. 467 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: I agree with you, and this is some top end 468 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: train spot and stuff. Now you need to have both 469 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: in your kid bag. As a ballplayer, if you are 470 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: continually holding the ball like this, that's going to be 471 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: a spiral. As a defender, I can see the hands 472 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: position like that and the majority of your past will 473 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: be long because you're looking for the spiral. Wade Egan 474 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: has a really soft spiral buss which helps right and 475 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: on the vice versa. If you're holding at six o'clock, 476 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: you're most likely going to pass short majority of time. 477 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 3: But if you decide to go long, like you said, 478 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: you either have to rip that six o'clock buss or 479 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 3: you have to invert your hands and get the spiral 480 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: se because as a defender you can see things unfold 481 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: with the hand position on the ball. But on the 482 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 3: flip side, if you're playing a game of chess, you 483 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: can manipulate that. 484 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: He just and when the ball comes out of Wave's hands, 485 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: like he catches the ball and he just sort of 486 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 2: gently throws it. 487 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: But the ball rotates really fast. 488 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: And they talk about in NFL football one of the 489 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: first things they talk about when they're scouting quarterbacks is 490 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: what's the rotation like out of the hand. It's just, 491 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 2: you know, we talk at core fundamentals that it's core 492 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: fundamental in that game. 493 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: Let's look ahead to next Friday. 494 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: It's the biggest night of rugby league so far this year, 495 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: Canberra versus Penrith. It's in Mudgie how Glen willows, how 496 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: good is that for Maugie feeding What a game one 497 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 2: of the games of the season. And then got stormed 498 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: the Dogs straight after that. Give me your thoughts on basis. 499 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: I think the Raiders stuff. I think a bit like 500 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: the Broncos. They can't start not playing that confidence style 501 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: because if they are five percent of a great defensive 502 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 3: team like Penrith will suffocate them. So wigs Strange said Chris. 503 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 3: They need to be lights out from the going confident 504 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: running the football when they normally see the thing about Penrith. 505 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: I marvel at what they've done this year defensively, really strong, 506 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 3: but what makes their attack rock solid. There's a play 507 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 3: on the weekend. It was a lead up played to 508 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 3: the zaa papal. Everyone needs to be on the same 509 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 3: page and communication is the key. They're attacking to the 510 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: right to pick Melbourne on the left. Mitch Kenny knew 511 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: it was coming. If he's standing there, it shuts down 512 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: that play and Casey McLain goes within a centimeter the 513 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 3: disjointed line and look at this Mitch Kenny removing back. 514 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: That's a set play to get McClain one on one 515 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 3: on the outside here with Nick. 516 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: Isn't there some sort of understanding to say, right, we're 517 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: going to hit him right on the far left side, 518 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: but we're going to state we're going to start almost 519 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: on the scrum line to the right, do an inside 520 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: block and start to mass. 521 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: So I can tell you what happened. Nathan clear would 522 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 3: have run past the rock and say, Mitch Kenny, this 523 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 3: players coming back and he's thrown the ball, And how 524 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 3: many times do we see players come back across the 525 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 3: field and plays in the road running front obstruction. This 526 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: is what made this is what makes pendrith a really 527 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: good sign. 528 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: Everyone dialed in, everyone's just synchronized. And that's and at 529 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: the start of the year, ushering all those young players 530 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: in McLean blaze all that, you can understand why it 531 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 2: was clunky because that's a that's a that's a complex attack. 532 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: And then so Panthers Raiders six o'clock got storm versus 533 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: the Dogs afterwards. 534 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: Dogs, Dogs have got to be very careful with their style. 535 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: Talking about complex attack, it's a complex game, you know, 536 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: like short passing. They don't they don't engage the middle lot. 537 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 2: A lot of it is short passing and sort. 538 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: Of pushing from edge to wedge. Very very clever football. 539 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: But you know, and I know that it irks the Dogs, 540 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: but it is true in slippery, wet conditions, it's it's 541 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: it can it's a problematic style at times you've really 542 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 2: got to be on your game. And sometimes Coop, I'm 543 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 2: watching them. The Dogs have got the propensity to beat 544 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: themselves because they're just determined to. 545 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: Play that style of football. Right. 546 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: I like the Dog's attack with Crichton moving to fallback 547 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: at different stages. Line up on Xavier. 548 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: Coats, that's a big one. I don't know what it 549 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 2: is for Marcela Montoya. 550 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, she'll be a change that. I don't think twil 551 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: will be on the right wing against. 552 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's going to be fascinating game. It's 553 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 2: a really big game for the Dogs. I mean dogs, 554 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: big game for both sides. Storm win, they're right up 555 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 2: to their eyeballs and grab another minor premiership. And I 556 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: know you know more than anyone of the Melbourne Storm 557 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 2: how important that is for Craig and the top two spot. 558 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: But the Dogs will be they 559 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: Will be more desperate because they need a big scalp
