WEBVTT - Blues Teamlist REACTION + The $5 Billion Deal That Changes Everything 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.400 Welcome back back Fences. Look, we've just waited to do 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.080 this podcast to see what the new Soal's team is. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.039 We're going to do a bit of a reaction to 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.119 the announcement the Blues obviously Queensland are going to be 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.760 tomorrow when recording this their team announcement. We've also got 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.919 some mail on some transfer whispers before June thirty at 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.360 different clubs, some big injury news over the weekend and 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.040 some of the results, as well as a little bit 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:25.920 of an update on where we think the competition's at 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.920 the moment, and some big news out of the TV 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.080 rights deal Matthew. But the new Sol's Blues side, we're 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.000 about to read through it. But initial reaction, what do 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:35.360 you think? 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.239 Look, there's there's some surprises and there's no doubt about it. 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.440 I think Laurie will play, and I'll explain it a 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.960 little bit later when we get into it. I think 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.720 he'll play. I think he'll play Ducks and drakes a 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.040 little bit here in that in game two we thought 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.720 he'd do a little bit shifting around the last minute. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.320 He didn't. I think he will here do you think yep? 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.480 I think he will. There's some surprise selections. But there's 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.480 a method there. Let's get into it. Let's talk. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.320 Let's read. Let's read number one, James Tedesco. 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.040 Number just on Tedesco, I was of I thought that 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.440 Dylan Edwards. I probably would have brought him in. However, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.399 you know, it was bad timing. Dylan and Panthers lost 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.360 to the Cowboys, and he was underwhelming, what not one 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.360 of his better games, and I probably thought that was enough. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.200 And Todsco was really strong. He was he was out 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.120 on Fox Sports our high flyer of the round, got 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.360 the most points for players under pressure, and so I 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.960 suppose that for me is undereniable. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.880 Yeah, the wingers, this is the biggest talking point, Mark Nagan, 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.039 he played in game two, Jackie Bostock coming in to 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.320 make his debut. Look, he's under and I have been 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.600 playing really good for the Dolphins. But the biggest talking 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.560 point Brian to a man who has done a lot 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.240 for the Blues, has played really good anytime he's in 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.320 that arena dropped. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.280 That's just that that's a big surprise. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.520 Did you can I ask you, like, because we've everyone speculating, 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.280 you know this played. Was there ever a part of 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.720 you that thought Biz was in doubt to be dropped potentially. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.160 Look, he hasn't played anywhere near his best, but I 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.840 didn't think he'd be dropped. I just thought his yardage 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.160 is invaluable, so that's why I thought he'd remain. But 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.520 you know what, Coops, I'll say this. I wrote an 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.600 article on Friday about Laws and I said, the biggest 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.760 challenge for Laws is going to be to remove his 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.840 natural self from selections. What I mean by that he's 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.200 such a champion bloke and he's so loyal. But if 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.920 you look at coaches like Wayne Bennett, who's like a 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.640 father to his players, However, he'll kick someone out of 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.680 the family if they stand between he and success. And 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.079 for Laurie, he's got two big challenges. One is going 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.760 out to some corpse stadium and winning, obviously, but the 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.640 other big challenge was this challenge picking the team and 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.359 been able to make some really ruthless, tough decisions. It 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.160 was one of them. Interesting with Bostock, these two players 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.840 could not be more different. So's just pure yardage. Justly 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.160 the the greatest yardage winger in the history of the game. 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:10.160 Boss Stock is a high kick target. Yeah yeah, as 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.040 far as diffusing high kicks and as far as scoring 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.720 high kicks, he will be a huge here human Markey 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:21.120 mar Mark, knowing they will be big targets for Nathan 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.000 Cleary and Moses. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.960 I did think that initially when I saw it, is like, 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.280 obviously he's performed when he's in that jersey, probably not 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:32.959 the last few games there. But we saw how isolated 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.160 they probably tried to go after putting Jojo Fafieda on 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.400 him in game two, So I have no doubt that 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.080 may have played into hand of Look, maybe we want 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.880 to have more kick targets for this game three, and 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.360 there's no doubt that two of the best kick targets 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.720 in the ENA right now is Jack Bostock and Mark. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.400 They are extremely good kick targets. So look, and what 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.920 I'll say about Lorry, like people people giving it to Lorry, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.080 and like some decisions have been big, and I understand 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.520 that that brings a lot of criticism. I've been critical 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.720 with some of the decisions as well. But for a 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.960 guy that everyone's like, you know, he's such a nice guy, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.680 fire out. He's not afraid to go against like what 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.080 everyone else, like what people want and what people are saying, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.920 like he is quite more ruthless than I probably thought 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.120 in terms of he's not afraid to make a big decision, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:19.520 like this is a big decision. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.400 I spoke to Lorry yesterday, had he armed him on 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.200 the phone, and I tell what it was. I got 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.800 what I got from it. When the way he was 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.080 talking about the game, he actually sounded like the old 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.560 Lorry like it made when Lurie was a player, mate, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.080 particularly in his early years. Mate, he was wild, like 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.200 you know, like just so aggressive so forthright made him 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.640 just tear in but and obviously do down there's the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.320 Lorry winner now. I just sensed when I had he 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.400 earned him on the phone, there was a lot of 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.280 the old Lorry like you're really decisive about things he 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.920 was going to do in the game and certain things. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.120 I just went away and we'll get to it to 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.800 the end. I've got a real I've got a real 0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.960 optimism about this game. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.400 Do you think that's come from a little bit of 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.599 like a lot of the pressure. And it's almost like, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.800 you know, after this, if I'm going to go out, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.440 I'm going out. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.120 Of my terms. Here's the thing about laws and again 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.279 this way I wrote this in an article. It doesn't 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.839 matter what lass does right, It doesn't matter what side. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.360 There was no compete there was. There was never going 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.200 to be a complete popular decision as far as his 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.120 selections are concerned. Whoever he selected, he was always going 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.359 to be branded one side a genius or a dunce. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.039 Either way, it doesn't matter. So the thing was loss. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.080 You just pick on your own intuition. Don't don't worry 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.920 about what you the player you think you should pick 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.680 or that. Mate, You just pick the side that you 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.320 think you need to pick to win. Because mate, he 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.200 knows winning. Mate, he's a winner. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.320 Because I haven't agree with some of the stuff that's 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.760 happening in game one and game two, But at the 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.320 end of the day, if he wins game three, all 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.680 of that stuff's avoid Who. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.440 Gives a fuck bet anything's happening in game one, in 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.640 game two, you know the selections, it didn't work out, 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.400 you know the you know getting in the change is wrong, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.320 losing track of inner change, all they It does not 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.800 matter is you clear the slate, just gonna win Game three. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.080 Well known to Jack Bostock. I remember Jack when the 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.120 Dolphins first come into the competition, they signed him as 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.480 a young bloke. I remember watching a trial game and 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.920 they go, mate, this kid's something special and the poor 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.200 had been a young Blake had at a barrier. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.000 Had a really tough one, and I thought, oh, yeah, okay, 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.000 but I see it in the last twelve months they 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.760 were spot on and he's a real special player. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.200 Yeah, he's a good I watched him play on a 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.200 nine ends origin. I think Jonah Pezant was his half 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.120 and he put on an absolute clinic. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.080 Jackie I can repeat that here. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.279 And the centers Stephen Crichton and Bradman Bess looked. 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:48.280 No surprises With Stephen Kricht, he's he's done, he's he's done. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.440 Fantastic at the Dogs going into six. Interesting watching him 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.919 play six. Luke Kerey picked it up. He's doing the 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.440 majority of the calling, he said, Like Luke Hey said, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.159 he's playing more half than probably than Lucky Galvin. But 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.599 the other thing is defending three in you know, like 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.640 him defending three and gives him greater control of that 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.120 defensive edge as far as calls and everything, like he's 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.240 the captain of that defense on the edge. And it's 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.040 really stiffened the Dogs up. And so he reverts now 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.880 to his preferred defensive position and this is the big matchup, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.280 he versus Calen pomer and that's the big one. 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.160 Well, he'll be the right center and Bradman on the left. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.360 And you said that after gain to where Caylyn kept 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.280 going down, they're putting Catoni Staggs under pressure and Nathan 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.040 there as well. I mean he's you're talking about smart 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.320 defensive centers who are also long and range. You can 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.160 get in the passing lane, go for interceps. No one 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:37.440 is better at it than Stephen Crichton. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.320 To let people know, you know how important it is 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.960 inside and outside you to have a person you can 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.960 rely on, like, for instance, if I you know, let's say, 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.240 for instance, or like I'm defending and I've got a 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.240 guy who's inexperienced on the outside and he's not talking 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.200 to me. You've got to understanding defense. Half a second 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.680 of silence is unnerving. So it's like, right here, you 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.200 got what you're doing, and all of a sudden goes 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.200 yeah yeah, yeah, silence at half a second. This is 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.720 what forces you into a bad defensive route. What you 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.000 need to hear from the inside and outside is I 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.720 got him, I got him, I got him, I got him. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.480 Come in in kill him outside in outside in, you 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.160 hear it continually. That gives you that safety and confidence 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.080 to just do you're wrong. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.400 Yea, the best I ever played with doing that. Justin 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.480 Olum he even though English like when he first come 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.000 to Australia, he actually had to learn like English. Basically 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.480 he's not strong. But when he got really good at communicating. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.480 To give people an example, if you're a half inside 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.280 Justin Olim he would live some of the stuff that 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:35.880 he would say to you. And Stephen Crichton is the same. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.440 You can see he communicates exact same. He's loud and 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.920 he will actually identify the shape that's coming. You've got 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.920 a back rower that's going to run at your inside shoulder. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.720 Justin used to say he was like Cooper, the blocks 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.600 on you, the blox on you. And then he'd say 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.920 if he's going deep, old jam like, he'll make you 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.600 comfortable so you actually know what's coming. Center is the 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.840 most important position on the field. They get the best 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.320 view and they're the ones, oftentimes are the ones that 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.960 I identify in the actual shape in communicating to the heart. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.080 It's interesting to say that because when we played the 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.240 three inn was the most important. He was the shot caller. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.240 He depended. He was the one that decided. We used 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.000 to call a Newcastle a red defense was up and 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.880 in the green defense was up and hold and slide. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:18.160 But these days generally everyone just goes up square and 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.000 the center makes that defensive decision, don't they think if 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.680 they gam or whatever. So that's on him, But yeah, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.480 that's that's that's really smart from Oldham to actually recognize 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.480 the shape and then talk you through it. Bradman on 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.320 that left side, I thought they might have went for Turba, 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.680 but at the end of the day, Turbo hasn't played 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.800 a lot of center. You put a bloke in there 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.760 and Bradman's Bradman's strong. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.319 I think Bradman's got an excellent record of origin. I 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.720 think the most controver, like the controversial part of that 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:47.080 is probably leaving Cooler out. I'd say Bradman's probably pretty trusted. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.120 I don't think anyone's saying that's a bad decision at all. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.920 It's a great decision. But Cole has probably been hard 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.320 done by whether it comes in anywhere, whether it be 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.400 on the bench or whatever it is, is. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.400 On that six man bench. Yeah, so he's there for 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.080 cover but yeah, it's weird with the six man bench. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.680 I feel like that that twenty it's very like immovable, 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.640 like leading to the game, like you don't know how 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.560 even himole like for the previous game. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.240 I was I was. 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.280 Thinking to myself like, even though he's not even in 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.559 the starting team at all, or the bench, I was thinking, 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.720 for all, you know, on game day you can go 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.000 from that twenty straight to the starting back. You never 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.720 know how it's going to be maneuvered around the bench. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.880 Yeah, the halves obviously there was a bit of room 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.800 around potentially moving in the house, but they've stuck strong 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.080 with Mitchell Mosis and Nathan Cleary. Yeah that's surprising. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:36.640 Yeah, I thought because I watching Mitchell play the other night, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.880 particularly defensively, to me, he appeared a long way off 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.199 being one hundred percent fit. But it's probably just the 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.680 stuff we're talking about there. He had young guys inside 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.760 and outside him. He's probably trying to solve decisions, solve 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:53.400 problems by himself. But look, one of those guys, Mitchell, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.040 you just got to You've got to call him and 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.120 talk to him. And I think he's on and honest 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.839 enough that if you ring him and sae, Mitch, you 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.679 know the importance of this game. Come on, you know 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.720 how are you? You know you're going to be able 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.439 to be at your best? If he says to me, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.320 yew I am, then look I put him in because 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.000 one thing you met, Mitchell is that mate, he has 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.040 got that healthy arrogance. He's the type of personality that 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.520 will go into sun Corps Stadium and that hostile environment 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.800 will bring out the best in him. And the bottom line, Coop, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.720 is that I go. And you know I would have 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:30.600 went strange, but Coop, if you know Moses and Cleary 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.240 are on, you win. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.840 And I did see. I was watching the list show 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.200 when Laurie announced the team and the big reason he 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.160 went with Bradman Bess He said, I want someone who's 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.760 used to the atmosphere at lang Park mostly sun Corp 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.280 Stadium now, but Bradman was a part of the series 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.120 the last series when they went up and he scored 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.840 the match winning try. So I mean Mitch Moses is 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.440 used to that hostile environment up there as well. The 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:58.320 front row announcement Paynehass, Rhys Robson and Mitchell Barnett. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:05.079 Mitch Barnett, he wasn't in my nineteen. But Cooper, after 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.559 the way he played against the Dolphins, watching it, sitting 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.680 there and watching it, I thought, yeah, he'll he'll be picked. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.200 I thought that was his that was by far his 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.640 best performance coming back from that ACL injury. So he's 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.080 starting to he's starting to sort of find his best 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.680 he's finding his best self. I thought he was really 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.000 really strong. So yeah, well under Mitch there Paynehouse who 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.280 goes with it. That goes without saying, if we just 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.000 move there, Cooper, just for one second, move on to 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.720 Isaai Yale. I think, I think Loriol paid, I think 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.880 you played Ducks and Drakes here, you do, I think 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.080 Murial start. I just look at one thing we really 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.720 knew early in the game. We need Upfiell thrust and 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.760 punch because that gets Nathan and Mitchell in the groove, 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.320 gets some going. I look and I go, pain, Yes, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.640 but but Mitch Barnett's not like what you'd call a 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.840 powerhouse Mota Eader like, he works his ass off, brilliant, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.480 but he's not a powerhouse of Bens the line back 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.800 all the time, and neither is Isaiah. Isaiah is more 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.560 of a passer. So I think, looking at the line 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.920 up there from one to thirteen. I think that middle 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.319 we lack a little bit of punch. I'm certain Cam 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:14.160 Murray are going to third. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:14.800 You really do? 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:15.080 Yeah? 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.280 I do it because look a lot everyone was speculating, oh, 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.640 Game two is going to be a bit of ducks 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.480 and trapes, and then when everybody got the pre game 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.920 there was nothing. Do I think he will. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.640 Yeah, I think you will. Well, if I put it 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:32.040 this way, I'm absolutely certain. I bet my kid's gonna 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.600 say my life wouldn't do that. I'll bet my blue 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.240 Swede shoes that either Barnett or Isaia Ah will make 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.960 way for Cam Murray in the starting link. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.120 What has that jacket you got last week that you 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.439 took into the podcast, that shocking brown cardigan thing. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.520 It's one of those things Jack like, when you look 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.280 at the mirror you're looking at it's pretty stylish. And 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.520 then when I saw it in the little cuts you did, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.680 you're right, it was just all fitting. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.800 I get to burn your jacket. If you're wrong, you're welcome. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.960 You can buy okay, and then obviously reach Reece Robson. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.760 People are sort of saying whether Appy Blake Brailey has 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.400 come onto the bench, but whether they're going to play 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.000 a bit of stuff, whether it's Blake Brailey and Appy 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.560 corus our. Ree Robson played really well against the Broncos 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.480 the other night in that Rooster side. My big thing 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.720 looking at that is, I think, Laurie, you saw the 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.960 mistake in game two in terms of the interchange. He 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:27.840 can't have the mentality that Ree Robson is going to 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.320 play eighty minutes. I think there's got to be some 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:31.520 sort of better plan there. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.680 I wouldn't surprise me if Blake comes on sort of 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.720 bit midweth through the first half. The thing about it 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.800 is with the nine in the current rules and which 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.680 make the middle defenses really vulnerable, the easiest and the 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.680 best place to attack from stummy half Scoop and gar. Yeah, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.160 it's it's immediate and it's straight, and that's why I 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.520 would have started. That's why I would have went with Appy, 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.720 the combination of Appy and Blake Brayley. But Reece he 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:06.680 is a very easy guy to get behind because he 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.600 but because he's all heart. Sorry I'm a little bit tired. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.080 He's all hard. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.080 Yeah. The back row as well, another big decision in 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.840 their Hutson Young obviously speaks to himself on that left side. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.280 Leam Martin has come straight into the starting side. You 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.760 were big on this in the in your article and 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.040 whatnot through the media during the week. You thought Liam 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.120 Martin is a player no matter his former club because 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.280 he hasn't been playing his best football, but he elevates 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.160 in that jersey. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.520 Months still hate that selection. Yeah, that's enough, it's enough 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.280 said on mate. Monster will hate that. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.640 They have a big rivalry here and money they always have. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.520 They go at each other quite hard. And he's and 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.400 every time Lea Martin's been in a Blue jersey, anytime 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.240 there's a kick chase or anything, he goes after people, doesn't. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:52.000 He does, and just looking at his left side semi 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.320 generally his right side and if he if Sammy Walker 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.400 switches over that side a little bit like we've seen 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.000 him do occasionally, you'll go after see hi. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.560 Yeah, isaiahell like we just spoke about him. Cam Murray 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.600 on the bench, which you're saying you'll start start. Adam 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:11.480 Fanila Blake Hamalekawatu fifteen and sixteen was a tall man. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.640 It's a that first interchange. We get that timing right, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.520 Los gets that timing right. That's a big boost if 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.360 you get Adam you know coming on. If you if 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.560 you don't like put it this way, if you would 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:28.440 start with Cam Murray, Isaiah and pain if you can 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.040 do that first in the change of say Isaiah comes 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.360 off and Adam comes on and have about ten to 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.200 fifteen minutes there of adding and Payne operating with Kem 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.040 Murray altogether. Fucking hell mate, you know you're gonna be 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:40.840 eating in him there. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.680 Yeah, and then Ham. I'm I think Ham needs to 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.160 have They need to have a plan, not just if 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.400 a back row gets hurt like Camalo you need him 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.640 in that game. We saw what he did in the 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.080 Cooper Johns Cup on the weekend against Melbourne. He was 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.160 the best player on that field. I actually do have 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.560 He actually got my Cup Player of the Match. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.520 And that must have mean that it must have been 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:00.280 everything for him. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.400 I messaged him anyhow address I said, mate, you can't 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.840 pick it up. He said, who is this block? My number? 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.480 Great to see the storm really turn off the Cuba 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.000 John's cut. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.440 Yeah, well, yeah, are going to talk. Probably didn't go 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.399 have the impact you thought it could. 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:14.919 Well, it's good to see, I mean something to the 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.360 manly boys. That's the positive, but I think you need 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.520 to get him out there. They used to have a 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.880 good combination where they get Martin off or move Martin 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.160 into the middle. I think that's probably where they looked at. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.520 You know, I would love to see in the middle operating. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.199 I'd love to see Hudson Young. Yeah, Hudson Young with 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.600 his speed and his footwork through the middle. That that 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.200 is a guy that I would love to see there. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.399 If you want to talk about a blitzkrieg that you 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.800 got when if they look vulnerable, a lightweight blitz kreeg 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.080 where you just go at them and try to drive 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.440 them through the middle, you'd have you know, through the middle, 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:49.560 you'd have Ethan Strange and and Hudson Hudson operating through 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.879 that middle. Mate with his spoed and foodwork. That'd be 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.760 really hard to handle. You just got to get the 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.000 timing right. You've got to get the time. You know. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.879 That's if you don't know a blitzkrieg. Year is coupo. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.520 It was a military tactic world War two, mathe you go, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.600 that was that. Yeah, it's a military tactic. Bush I 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:05.719 think for a German. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.240 I know it was for a lightning wall, Yes, I know, 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.000 it right, you got to Jack, Yeah, I know it was, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.720 and then it's good. I'm glad you explained it. I 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.680 just took it and it was a great song from Yeah, 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:17.640 Blitz Green. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:18.880 It's in the school of Rock. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.320 Blake was Jack Black for you, doesn't it? 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.720 Blake, Blake, Bradley, Ethan Strange, Toller Colo up we spoke 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.119 about and then Victor Radley, he's moved the twentieth. I 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.720 don't think Victor probably did a lot wrong in that game. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.640 I thought he probably does, like he didn't do anything 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.280 to lose this spot. I think maybe Laurie just had 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.520 to make way for some other people. You actually had 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.240 Victor on your show tonight when the team was announced. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.000
