1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Coops. Billie's gone for the Hammer over ros Are you're surprised. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, Like, on face value, I thought Rece 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: would be fullback and Hamber would stay on the wing. 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: And then you start thinking about, oh, why would have happened? 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Like initially, like Bryce Walsh is the most dangerous player 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: in our competition. When he gets front football space, he 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: can beat any player. So I thought, like in a 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: big game, he could win it with one play, one run. 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: And then you think about it, Well, you think, well 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: Lomax was isolating Ponger. There was a couple of errors 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: from Ponger on the high ball. That's a tactic in 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: New South Wales. Who's say from the high probably Hammer 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: over Reese. And then you think about the Harves running 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: the ball. You think about did and Harry Grant and Munster. 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Who would turn up on the inside and score a try? 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: HAMI would I think Hammer would just see something pre 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: empty and know that Months is going to step off 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: his left foot maker line, breaking his back under the post. 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: He did it for his four tries on the weekend. 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: So there's a few things on. When you start going 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: below the surface, you oh yeah, yeah, I can see that. 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: But Look, I personally would have gone with Reese, but 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: I can see why Hammer would be the solution. 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: There's so much respect the way Billy goes about pick 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: any sides coops because he will make really tough calls 26 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: and unpopular, unpopular calls if they don't work, only. 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: Trusts his gun like that's a It's a huge thing 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: for a coach to do with all the noise that 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: is surrounding Origin and our game good and bad. Right, 30 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: but he must sit down and sive through all the 31 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: noise and really work through. Okay, what what the why 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: is the queens and oragor coach want to do? And 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: it worked in game two, Let's say if it works 34 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: for game three. 35 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Well, the chers of coops. He doesn't necessarily have favorites. 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: He just picks the ball he believes or informed we 37 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: can do the job. 38 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: Because you could say that maybe he's had favoritism towards. 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: Right because everyone was going fan and what would you 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: have done? Look, I'm not I'm not surprised by it. 41 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Why the reason I thought, excuse me, he'd go for 42 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: Roos was because, okay, if you're going to move Hammer 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: ound of Sander, who you're going to put there, which 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: brings us to the mount. When I talk about Shibasaki 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: and just world under him, it's just a perfect example 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: for young players to understand that. And actually balliac you know, 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: he talks about it in his documentary with balliaate that 48 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: something that balli Ak's dad told him growing up. And 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: he said, son, if you work hard, okay, and thing's 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: possible and you're going to get success. But he said 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: it might take time, but you work hard and it's 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: going to happen. And Shubar say, he's a perfect example 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, Broncos, Knights, Cowboys, Japanese Rugby, South's back 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: to the Broncos. You know, that's all those clubs in 55 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: six or seven years. And having looked through the list, 56 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: he only played one or two, four or five games 57 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: here and there. He's really been spread over the place. 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Great story. The other reason why I would say that 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: Shibasaki was on the list is if you look at 60 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: New South Wales in Game two, that second half they 61 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: were coming and every time Latrell or Stephen Crichton touched 62 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 2: the ball it looked like something was going to happen, right, 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: and I feel like Billy's gone. Well if this is 64 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: their plan to get the ball of the centers, which 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: it will be. I need a big body. Toya has 66 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: got Latrell and then you know, is it Valentine Holmes? 67 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: Is it the hammer? Well, Shubasaki is a big body. 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: He's going to be under pressure in an origin decider 69 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: in New South Wales. But he's a big body and 70 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: when Stephen Crichton comes at him, he's going to physically 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: have to get the job done. 72 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: One of the biggest storylines going in and I just 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: love this. And I'm talking about this from a neutual, 74 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: from a lover of the game, Josh Papale going that 75 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: is I think, I think. I think it's a master 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: stroke from me. We said this about Kirk Cable in 77 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: the second game, Take an old Dog for a hard 78 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: right decide away from home in Sydney, picked the big 79 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: boys in great form. 80 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 2: I suggest there'll be another change to the starting team 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: because of the influence of Papa. I like it, I 82 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: really do. I think him and Tina up front. I 83 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: would if I was Billy, I'd make a late change 84 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: and start Karragan. Reason Bean, you look at the starting 85 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: pack for middle rotation for New South Wales, it'll be 86 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: king Haus and Isaiao Haus is hard to handle. But Caragan, 87 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Tino and Papa I think could physically out muscle King 88 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: when he runs a footing and Yo when they runs 89 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: a footing. So I would say that the presence of 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: Papa is going to ignite something in the Queensland forward 91 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: pack and I would run all out to start the 92 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: game Carrigan in the front row and go take him on. 93 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: That's what I do. 94 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: And if you look at the side the billy's picked 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: and you said about Shubasaki, those blokes are emblematic are 96 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: going to play a really tough physical game. 97 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. And if if you're going to lay the line 98 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: with Payne Haas or Max King to shift the border 99 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: Latrell or Stephen Crichton, geez, you want to make that 100 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: as slow as you possibly can and it needs to 101 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: be backwards more than forward. So I just think that 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: Baba's a good move. Tino is going to be inspired 103 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: by playing alongside of him, and I just think you 104 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: start the game with Patrick Carrigan, I think could be 105 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: a good thing. 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: New South Wales there was talk the key on m 107 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Coman for Stefano. Stefano's kept his Jersey and I like that. 108 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: I like that. I like the loyalty there. Corras eighteenth 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: man Berdo thank god not our eighth man again almost 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: got one hundred games, so it's better. It's good for 111 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: the dogs. 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: What do you think about New South Wales team and 113 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: how they play? 114 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the team. I think there's certain aspects 115 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: of our game that need tied in up. Of course 116 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: the discipline. The discipline is a clear one. I think 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: that coops we're going to get. We're going to get 118 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: a lot of early ball. We just spoke about this 119 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: to Crichton and Trail. We didn't get it there quick enough. 120 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: And thinking about it is when you get blokes like 121 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: and we saw it the other night with mainly Bewe Travoyvich, 122 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: when you've got blow Clott Latrell and Stephen Crichton, you 123 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: don't have to run really special shapes to create a 124 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: numerical advantage with those plagues. Sometimes you just got to 125 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: get it to him quick, you know, give them that 126 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: one on one opportunity. 127 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: I think this is where the game is one lost. 128 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: If Stephen Crichton, Latrell, Mitchell, you have an impact with 129 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: say twenty thirty touches. They'll set something up and score 130 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: tries off the back of it. But if Queensland can 131 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: shut them down, I threw Subasaki entire or the middle 132 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: forgers stopping the momentum. I think that's where it's one last. 133 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: Crichton and latrell play well, Queensland lose. If they don't 134 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: Queensland win. 135 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: It's interesting with you know, just mindset with with Nathan 136 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary, in the fact that I love the way 137 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: he players really gun barrel straight, gets up all the 138 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: way to the line. I'd like to see him just 139 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: very a little bit because I actually think my feeling 140 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: will be the billy will say to the Senate of 141 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: Shibasaki and toyur get up quick, rush, you know a 142 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 1: little bit. Sometimes pre empt outside in. If he starts 143 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: advancing the ball of the line, don't sit back, get 144 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: up in their face. 145 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,119 Speaker 2: You think, what was that Panish spine? And like Lui 146 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: back in they played a little oaten fish. 147 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: I think sometimes I just thought I saw it, particularly 148 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Robert Toyer, sometimes pre empty outside in, and I think 149 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: given that you don't sometimes you don't need to take 150 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: the ball all away in the line. I think Nathan 151 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: should vary how far he comes in. Sometimes you go 152 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: one step and then just get rid of it. It 153 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: might catch him in no man's land. So just a 154 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: bit of variation. 155 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: And I think the key defensively for Queensland for New 156 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: South Wales would be they've just got to stop the 157 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: spine running the ball. Stop months to running like he 158 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: had fifteen carries or something. You just can't let him 159 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: do that. 160 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: And Coops in Sydney in the conditions says, you know 161 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: the course stadium at this time of the year, night 162 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: football is a wet weather game almost and that suits 163 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: run first past second. 164 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: And if they do, if they put all their eggs 165 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: on trying to stop monster, which they will, someone like 166 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: Harry Grant needs to take advantage of them. He would. 167 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: He was dangerous early on, but it needs to be 168 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: dangerous for eighty minutes. 169 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Okay, back to club Land, the round just that we've 170 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: just witnessed. I think probably it's all about defensive integrity. 171 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: You see where two thirds of the way through the 172 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: years you've got the finals in sight and the best 173 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: team best teams are starting to get their defensive heads 174 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: on that that game Thursday night Penrith versus it's just 175 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: evidence you don't need high scoring, high scoring games, having 176 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: exciting contests. It was fantastic some of the desperation. 177 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: You can change any rule to speed up the play 178 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: the ball or make more attacking opportunities, but when you've 179 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: got two teams redlining defensively and the intensity which they 180 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: played with cracking contests like ball on the deck, it 181 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: was me versus you, who's going to get it first. 182 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: Some of the efforts they kind of trace you one. 183 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I'll have a look at a couple them here, Like honestly, 184 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, the effort and the desperation, like he's scoring 185 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: fur money their plays and just fantastic effort. And that 186 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: was a tailer tape the whole night. You know, he 187 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: had quality attack against just remarkable defense. 188 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: It's almost like a defense NFL, you know how, like 189 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: there's yardage in NFL, and if you make that yardage, 190 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: it gets to go again. Connor Tracy knew the goal 191 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: line was right. There is just tracking across and if 192 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 2: you didn't hit him with everything, then there's momentum probably 193 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: comes over every inch counts. 194 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: He come the Panthers first half of the season mentally, 195 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: flat can understand, you know, they're looking to win five 196 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: competitions in a row. You're waiting for the tap to 197 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: be turned on. What it's turned on, and you see 198 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: you can measure focus, desire through defense, and it's obvious 199 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: they win eight six their back. 200 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: Raiders, Dogs Storm getting a lot of raps for what 201 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 2: they're doing, and rightly so. But this team was angered 202 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: at the bottom of ladder, was one one of their 203 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: first five or six or something like that, and they've 204 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: turned it around and taken on the Dogs who have 205 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: been at the top of the ladder for the majority 206 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: of the season. The signs of how they played that 207 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: game was Penrith of old Yeah, good completion rate, great defense, 208 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: kicking game and when there was a moment to be won, 209 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: they won it. The problem with We've said this before, 210 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: the problem with Penrith had their gun players like chewed 211 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: up everything they got to get their team back to 212 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: where they are. I think it's delicate how Iven Cleary 213 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: handles their origin players at the back end of the year. 214 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: But they need to be rested and they need to 215 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: be fined because it doesn't matter where they finished. For me, 216 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: they could finish five to weight. They would be dangerous. 217 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: To play producer Scott to said them a year, five 218 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: weeks ago, they'll last. So this is the thing with 219 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: the competition. Moment you have a good month for football, 220 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: you just yeah. 221 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: A lot of teams could put three or four wins together. 222 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: But the way that Penrith have put three or four 223 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: teams to get wins together, that's that's they're dangerous. They 224 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 2: can they can beat those top four teams. 225 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about Casey McLean is second. 226 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: But this is the other thing about the Panthers. Suddenly 227 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: Blaze start look like a Penrith player. Suddenly McLain is 228 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: suddenly like he's had you've just seen in the last 229 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: few weeks. He's come of age as a player. That 230 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: game the other night, we'll talk about it. 231 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: I will say that I've been that situation where you're 232 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: struggling for your best footy. You know you should be 233 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: better than what you are get through an Origin series 234 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: and you're still grinding a way to work hard. They 235 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: need to be careful that they don't burn the field 236 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: because you get the finals and you think I've got 237 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: to go again here because every other team lifts a 238 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: level so they get there. They are dangerous but there's 239 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: a delicate thing in terms of ivan how he handles 240 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: those five origin players around. Can they play past week two? 241 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: A different style of defense physicality? Now last week with 242 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: Tom going into the center's I wrote an article and 243 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: I said the move to center would be good for 244 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: Tom because he won't have as much high speed impact. Well, 245 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: did not look like a dickhead early on. 246 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: You don't need to write an art if it will 247 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: look like a look at that and I'll watch. 248 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, good one mate, Now now high speed impact. Honestly, 249 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: he's never been hit so hard. 250 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: They were talking about him getting early balls and freedom 251 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: and roaming around. That's good contact. 252 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: And then I tear who's up on his toes at 253 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: the moment Tony stags laid in the game and the 254 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: Warriors we just don't come for the Broncos. And just 255 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: he did a few things. This one here, that's just 256 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: that's a great shot. 257 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: And I like it is Harrigan stand over the top 258 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: and it's a bit showmanship, but I like the intensity, 259 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: which he doesn't like. It's me versus you. I'm going 260 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: to win this contest and he hits him with everything 261 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: he has. It's probably not my playbook to stand out 262 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: of the top of someone. But I don't mind it. 263 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: Like he's he's doing everything he can for his team, 264 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: and he's pumped up like he is. He is a 265 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: machine when he's playing, well. 266 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: Mate, well in the coops and that standing over the 267 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: top of it, that's a lot of that is the 268 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Broncos identity, the way Rice sort of is on film, 269 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: that's the Broncos. When the Broncos winning comps. And I've 270 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: said this to people before, when you went to play 271 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: Brisbane in the nineties or you know, they came, they 272 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: came to town, they just they it just gave you 273 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: the shit so much because not only do all the 274 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: players think they were better than you, even the blokes 275 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: are carrying the water. What is crucial for the Broncos 276 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: or Egan cooeps is how they stabilized their how they 277 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: stabilize their game and stabilized the contests when they're not 278 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: enjoying superiority. When they haven't superiority, man, they just can 279 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: just roll through teams and rattle up points. But when 280 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: the other side gets a bit of momentum and the 281 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: tables are turned, I reckon. Sometimes scoreboard pressure in particular 282 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: brings out the worst in the Broncos. It was a 283 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: positive in the weekend. That second half was a real 284 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: test to nerve because suddenly the Warriors are coming for 285 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: them and I'm watching, going, okay, how they can handle this? 286 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: But they got through it. 287 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: Now the Broncos are a dangerous team this year. From 288 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: now on, I think they'll finish fourth. I think they'll 289 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: finish the top four. The reason why I say that, 290 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: I think they're slow burn because they've always had this 291 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 2: high octane score off any play we can, you know, 292 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: score fifty points, and Malcolm McGuire is trying to bring 293 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: this consistency of toughness and long game mentality to it. 294 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: Adam Reynolds is exposed to it. But if they just 295 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: meet in the middle and have that game style where 296 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: they can play for long minutes and defend well, then 297 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: also have the firepower to come into school points, that 298 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: is recipe for success right there. I want to see 299 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: where Ben Hunt comes back. I think he's going to 300 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: come back in the nine Jersey, probably start off fourteen 301 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: and then move in. But even that adds more sparkan 302 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: dimension to it, because you know he can control the 303 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: contest from nine as in no we're not shifting there. 304 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: We're going to play short or we're going to kick early. 305 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: And him and Adam Reynolds on the field together at 306 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: the same time. I think is a good thing for 307 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: the Broncos because it helps with decision making. But it's 308 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: just Adam. There's you know, Catony Stags, Ares Rees Walsh 309 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: going off as Ramm's going off too, and he struggles 310 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: to reel them back in. But Ben h on the 311 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: field at the same time. I think there's a bit 312 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: more control of what Michael McGuire wants in that long 313 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: game mentality. 314 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: Heartbreaking for the Wires. Luke Metcalfe and heart you know, 315 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: he came on the Sunday Show a few weeks back. 316 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Coops mate, what a fantastic un bloke. You love it. 317 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: He's such a footy head. He just he loved it. 318 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: All he wanted to talk about was was you know, 319 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: the football and different terms and his players and what 320 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: they're doing. And see him do the acl' that's a 321 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: heartbreaker for him and also the Warriors Chanelle and tomorrow 322 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: they'll take the reins without loot. They certainly they're going 323 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: to miss a bit of thrust, running, thrust through the 324 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: middle of the field. Huge responsibility on Wade Egan now 325 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: massive responsibility. 326 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: I don't really want to say this, but I think 327 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: the Warriors, Yeah, it suffers the season. Like I think 328 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: he came in after back of Shawn Johnson, bought a 329 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: new sort of aura, excitement and footy like skills, and 330 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: the Warriors really loved it, like they thrived on it. 331 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: And yes they've got some depth there to cover, but 332 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: I feel like this is going to hurt them towards 333 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: they'll let up finishing the eighth, but I don't think 334 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: they finished in the top four. They've got a good 335 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: culture there. But you take Barnett also out of that 336 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: and Metcal two of their key players. We said this 337 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: about the Warriors season. They can't have too many injuries. 338 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: They've got to resist the temptation and try to go 339 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: outside the box to solve this. They're just going to 340 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: play simple football. Simple football. You build the game, in 341 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: my opinion, around Wade, and you play a really strong 342 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: power game. Less Chanelle and Tamari, you know, find their 343 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: football off that. But Wade is the man, you know, 344 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: just center field power. You know, he's very good at variation. 345 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd really like to see them have 346 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: a lot more life still in their season. I'd love 347 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: to see him really be able to go on with 348 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: this challenge. 349 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: Do you think they do coops? 350 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I think they will play above expect I don't see 351 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: him has gone. Yeah, I've just got I just see 352 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: there's something, there's something within this playing group. I think 353 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: they'll find a way to continue h a trainspot of 354 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: time keeping a little bit of something about scrums. 355 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's delay of scrums, right, there's teams intentionally 356 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: slowing down attacking possession to the opposition just because they can, 357 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: and then they'll give away a penalty or something like that. 358 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: So like if there's a line break in the game 359 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: and you slow it down deliberately, people go to the sinbin. Here, 360 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: the dragons not moving para matter here, the cowboys, back 361 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: and forth, back and forth, time and delay. 362 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: That's intentional, that's intentional. 363 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: Just put in a rule right now that if you 364 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: delay the game intentionally, you get captain goes to sin 365 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: Because if someone makes a line break and stops some 366 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: tent out from the trial and lays down intentionally to 367 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: slow down to play the ball in its scoring position, Yeah, 368 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: that's professional foul in the. 369 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: Bin and it keeps. People say, oh, send the captain off, 370 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: that's harsh. Well, guess what, just don't do it. Don't 371 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: do it as simple as that, because we're making all 372 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: these rule changes to improve the game and keeps this 373 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: This is this is the cat and mouse game that 374 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: always goes on. Coaches are looking for the loophole, right 375 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: and we always have to change the rule to cover 376 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: the loopholes and keep the speed of the game going, 377 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: make it as good as spect as possible. But even 378 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: those little real changes, coaches will look and go, Okay, 379 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: where's where's the opportunity for us to exploit the rule? 380 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 2: But it's attacking scrum, it's six v six, it's one 381 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: of the best opportunities to attack. And if a defending 382 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: team is going to slow down the game intentionally, just 383 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: send one. 384 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: Of the binyah love with you. I'm with it, mark 385 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: it down, mark the minutes now. Individual performance is Casey McClain. 386 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: Every player of no young player has has a game 387 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: that I think is a coming of age game. And 388 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 1: I thought his was the other night, up against Stephen Crichton, 389 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: who's the best, one of the best defensive centers of 390 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: all time and in brilliant form would have probably been 391 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: one of Casey's heroes. I'd imagine all that not a 392 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: long way. 393 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: He's been coming through the system, idolizing and. 394 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: At full time. The other night you see Nathan go 395 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: up and he just grabs Casey mcclaim and that's that's 396 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: a slight mate. You've come of age. 397 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: So the first running that Stephen Crichton and McLean had 398 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: was a sure kick and he knocked it out and 399 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: they had a little bit of a toss. Yeah, And 400 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 2: then when the game was on the line and they 401 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: won it, Nathan flew up to him again in big, 402 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: huge I reckon that was set up in the coach's 403 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: video room in the preview for that performance. Because Stephen 404 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 2: Crichton is the captain of the Dogs, here is a 405 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 2: physical presence and a beast young McLain nineteen years of age. 406 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: I think that was his twentieth game. He had the 407 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: job of stopping the most influential player for the Dogs, 408 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: and he went after him. He didn't sit back and say, oh, yes, 409 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: mister Crichton, Yes, mister Crichton. He just went straight for 410 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: the juggular and fought him. For eighty minutes. He stopped 411 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: it in the first minute and ultimately when it was 412 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: the last minute, he was there to play a part 413 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: and jot that down coming of age of the young man, 414 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: like that is a hell of the performance. 415 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: It's a little bit like Ivan would have said to him, 416 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: dangled the carrocter in front of him and treat him 417 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: with respect, but not too much respect. 418 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've all had that where the coach dangles something 419 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: in front says listen, I need you to do a 420 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 2: job on someone today. And that was McLean's job and 421 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: he did it. 422 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he early in the game, he 423 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: got the ball, he put a bit of a bit 424 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: of a bit of footwork on critter. Here. If it's 425 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: anyone but Stephen Crichton, he scores here like Crichton is 426 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: scrambling to getting that's that's you know, that's clear evidence 427 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: the quality of this you blake footwork and he's like that. 428 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: He scores on anyone. 429 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: He is a threat to go on the outside twice 430 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: back on the inside ones and then goes to the 431 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: outside again. Point Stevin Crichton is the best center in 432 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: the world on both sides of the footy. And anyone 433 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: but him, he probably sets up a trial scores on himself. 434 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: Xavier Willison another young player. I really like this kid. 435 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: He's really impressive. The good thing about him he's got 436 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: He's got great size and power. But crucially coop you 437 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: can work with playmakers. 438 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think when these young front rowers coming in 439 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: the game, middle forwards and they're just big physical things 440 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: and then they start understanding their strength. But Nelson went 441 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: through a period he was just big and just ran 442 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: and catapulted into players. Once he started moving using your 443 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: arms and your shoulders and your footwork to separate. Willison 444 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 2: is starting to run into the line and use his 445 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 2: power upstairs to run over and through defenders. And as 446 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: a half that is rock speed that you want and 447 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: Reese Walsh Reynolds would love to have pain House Carrigan 448 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: Willison every play the ball a threat to have momentum. 449 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: And for Xavier the great thing at this point in 450 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: his career he's playing alongside a halfback in Adam Reynolds 451 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: that's done it all before and can educate him on 452 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: the foot on watching him. No doubt they're doing extras 453 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: together because you know he's getting the ball and he's 454 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: drifting across an interest in the fence around I'm making 455 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: the defense pause, then dropping off Xavier and the inside 456 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: and he's hitting, you know, getting one on one tackles 457 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: and just pushing through the line. 458 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: But even paint Us is a mental pain. How do 459 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: you get between defenders and separate so you come into 460 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: line and they see the spin. It's something that paint 461 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: Use would probably would have taught him this one here 462 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: where he just isolates one, puts a bumpers through and 463 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: gets through. Like paint House is playing a role in 464 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: mentoring this young man. 465 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: Sure, he's a very very good player. Okay, Coops, And 466 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: we could be guilty of this podcast being named the 467 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Catto Podcast. John's yeah, Coops, we could be Maddie 468 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: Kronk and Isaiah. 469 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: By the if it's going to be Cronker Mady, I tell. 470 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: You, Scotty, we've got to get him here once. We'll 471 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: sit him here and just show him all the nice 472 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: things we were saying a bit, but it was like 473 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: this week, I thought, right, we'll give the kid a break. 474 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: We won't talk about but the performance he put in 475 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: against the bunnies and he continues to do things that 476 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: you just go, mate, So against the bunnies on that 477 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: left side, he's attacking against Campbell Graham. Campbell is a 478 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: fantastic defensive center. He's really intelligent. The founder picks off 479 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, picks off shapes very very well. But mate, Honestly, 480 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: by the end of the game, Campbell would have been goaling, mabe, God, 481 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: this kid's coming at me again. And he did the 482 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: one that this is like. He can do certain things 483 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: in the game which are just brilliant. But there's a 484 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: situation once where stretch Campbell Grahams has come up and 485 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: he's gone past the football right and Cady Nikarim is there. 486 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: So what he does is instead of like he says 487 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: to Cadid nick reb he just lobs the ball up 488 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: and says, there's the space, beat him off the ball. 489 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: There it is through the double pump and kemil Graham 490 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: lent and as he rid of it back and he 491 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: just loft it in the air. And it's brilliant ballplayer. 492 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: But it's even better combination work with halves right, And 493 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: I think this will be the next sort of phase 494 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: and challenge for Isaiah is this is so good. He 495 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: moves on the pass and runs through Nikoima has been 496 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: complementing Isaiah's ballplayer through the roof. Yeah, now he's going 497 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 2: to be out for an extended period of time, and 498 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 2: we know that halves combinations are all about repetition and 499 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: combination work. He realized that that double pump and he 500 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: beat Gammel Graham on the move and ran inside. But 501 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: Ken donnah here do this, Ken Avarrillo or someone else. 502 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: So the Dolphins attack has been on fire because of 503 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: this Halves combo Nickorema out. I think he's going to 504 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: be the next challenge for Isaia Catala to still do 505 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: those things. 506 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: Without your player, without your deputy and adding to his game. 507 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: We know about his finesse and his ability to disguise, 508 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: but you see his running game starting to come up. 509 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: Did a good, great line break for Hammer, and of 510 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: course was telling the line with the football and bang. 511 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: It's just it's just awareness that you can only get 512 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: through doing multiple sets, multiple changes strong through the hips 513 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 2: and he just knows that Hammer's there and he looks 514 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: the left and throws it over his right hand shoulder 515 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: without even looking. So that's maybe part of the reason 516 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: why Hammer is fullback because of things like this. If 517 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: this is Origin three in a decider that's Cameron Monster 518 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: or Tom Dierden. Hammer won't be sitting back out a 519 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 2: couple of passes wider admiring. He's going to shift straight. 520 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: Through doing a great job with him, Christian Wolf doing really, 521 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: really well. And you're not going to tell the Dolphins 522 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: how to suck eggs. But what they've got him for, 523 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: and the extension is i'd be I'd be bringing him 524 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: in and going At the moment, Isaiah is on a 525 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: good contract, it's on a good track, but it's but 526 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: it's Wynders And if I'm the Dolphins, I'm saying, come in, mate, 527 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna extend this at the further fixes. 528 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: You should be his agent. 529 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: You are Moses. That'll do mm hmmmmmmmm mm hmm
