Yeah, just a misplaced. 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.560 I had him had him on my shirt. One just 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.640 fell off last night and I don't know whether other 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:00.800 one say so, gone to my. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.720 Last he was at he was at the ivy last night, Cooper, Yeah, 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.080 we had the ivy last night. 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.120 How well is it was it busy? 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:07.520 No? 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.759 It was, yeah, it was. It was a party, a party, 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.600 a party from our builders. The builders had a party 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:15.160 and they invited. 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.039 It's just a little bit of us. 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.119 Yeah, that's right. Just carve a little bit off the. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:24.080 Just on hypochondriacts quickly. Where does Trish sit in regards 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.160 to your brother Andrew Johns Because you always talk about 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.200 Joey is the best, but Trish is bad too. If 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.319 you had a sort of a gold and silver metal 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.120 Who gets that? 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.400 They are so similar in so many ways. And look, 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.200 I'm going to give an inside here to the listeners. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.679 Joey and Trish used to just hate each other. You 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.960 know that. Yeah, I know. They used to fight mate 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.480 all the time. While she gets because they're the same person, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.440 excuse me, they are so similar and so we'd be 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.360 like remember once for a chief's wedding and and Joey 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.880 was carrying on and did something with Trish geest just 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:05.960 settle down, a little loser. Joey just exploded and then 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.280 another time I was away. I was in Melbourne and 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.560 Joey was on the drink and they come across each 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:18.519 other and they're out anyway. She was like, she goes, 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.240 are you Andrew? I don't think you have any more 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.200 to drink? You said, don't tell me what to do. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.840 And she goes and she goes, well, your brother's not 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.440 going to like that, and he goes, bloods thicker than water. Yeah, 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.280 he bloods thick at the water. Yeah, they really went 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:33.880 at each other. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.800 I can see that happening. I can see that happening, and. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.200 So yeah, both they're both helped the condracts. Probably a 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.360 dead heat. I've told you before about the story where 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.120 I was in the sheds and they'd feared I broke 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.320 him a neck in the game and I'm laying down. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.720 I'm laying down literally on the table. Joey wasn't playing, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.840 but he was there watching and they're going and the 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.280 doctor's in there and it turned out was really bad 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.960 nerve damage. But I just had no idea. It had 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.760 the neck brace on and the doctor goes, just give 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.640 me your hand, give me your hand here, do you Maddie. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.440 I just want to get an idea on this can 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.200 you feel any tingling in your ride? And as I 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.560 was about to wear so, Joey goes, I can, I'll 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:10.720 get tingling in mind that. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.520 Yeah. I love your saying. It's so true. He's the 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.240 He's the brided every wedding and the corpse of every 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.360 few is literally as well, Matthew. I don't know if 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.600 you saw it, you're on social media. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.679 Hey, I love it. I'm really really I'm digging the 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:26.560 Blues tracks. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.959 That I was just about to bring up, mate, because 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.120 yesterday come out. We've alluded to the fact I did 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.040 a motivational speech. I'm known from a speeches but on 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.840 the show did you show it on the show? Well, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.000 I did a motivational speech for the for the Blues 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.440 this week. A lot of our listeners getting in the 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.680 comments of the of the video saying mate, like we 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.800 had a lot of Coensland are saying they're motivated, but 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.920 they're saying, if you so Wells can't get up for this, well, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.200 then they can't get up for any. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.760 There's no pulse. If they can't get up after that speech, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:54.560 there is no pulse. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:55.160 Literally. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.960 I loved your connection to the like the organ the heart. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.120 Were you talking about blo. Blood cells are blue and 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.600 then when they don't turn red till they've got the 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.920 oxygen within the body. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.880 I wrote all that very s did you. I wrote 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.000 that because that's always stuck with me that I learned 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.040 it in science class. But it's not until I think it. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.560 When it hits the arteries is when oxygen is in 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.040 the same sort of vessels blue, and it changes it from. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.479 Blue too, because arteries are pumping away from the heart, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.159 whereas veins are pumping to the heart because they need oxygen. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.560 Jack, Jack, you should have listened in Signs Jack every 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.880 single day. I was so proud tonight after they showed 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.760 that on that clip. When Hemmy brought it to the show, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.919 I finished, I was just dumbfounded, and I said, God, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.159 sometimes you look back and you think maybe we should 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.720 have sent you to private school, just spent that a 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.440 little bit more money. You're an idiot. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.719 So I thought you were proud. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.360 Well, they had to spend double bubble on my school fees. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.560 Yeah, against Saint Augustin's. But I don't know what went 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.360 wrong with you, brother? 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.480 How are you looking at Jack on? Yeah, Look, let's 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.280 start with the biggest news off the top right we're 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.000 going to talk. We reacted to the new show Ails 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.120 team last week. We're going to have another reaction to that, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.080 as well as the Queensland team that came out after 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.960 we did our podcast. But Ethan Strange, they're saying maybe 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.400 a little bit of doubt. He rolled his ankle a 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.279 couple of days ago. He was filmed. He was actually 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.279 in a moon boot. Stranger. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.240 You said like there was news tonight, that there's news tonight. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.320 So tomorrow when this comes out, they have their training session. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.520 Obviously the day after Tuesday did a captain drum before 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.080 State of Osion Wednesday. But tomorrow they're going to they're 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.840 allowing him to do sort of a fitness test and 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.039 if you can get through the whole training with the team, 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:29.839 then they're going to allow him in. Matt Burton is 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.920 still on stand by potentially to take that spot, though 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.880 it'd be a big even though he us on the bench, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.240 be a big loss in my opinion. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.720 Out to big out given I reckon Laurie, he's got 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.400 some big plans for him. A little bit later, we'll 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.360 talk about let's assume he's going to play. I want 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.000 to got a little bit of something left field for 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.200 it how I use him. But they deciders are always 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.160 really really special. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:54.440 You played, did you? 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:54.560 So? 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.760 You played what three games of Origin for four four? 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.880 And do you play a decider? 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:04.840 Play decider? Eight City Football Stadium. We played the first game. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.599 I only got on for about six minutes in the 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.640 first game, but I got dropped. What they never dropped Joey. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:11.599 They always just dropped me. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.440 What a six minutes was that? 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:20.200 It was six minutes that will never be forgotten, John, So, 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.120 So what happened? I dropped for game two? By the way, 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.679 we lost on the bell in game one, like we've 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.520 we've got the whip hand, and Joey went for a 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.760 repeat set literally like thirty seconds for full time. It 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.400 bounced off I think it bounced off Benny Aikens leg. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.200 He picked it up through it to someone. They just 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.440 did this speculator kick which bounced over Tim Brash's head. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.200 They got the ball back and went and scored it 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.160 under the post, full field try, full field try, and 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.640 then they kicked it after full time and they beat us. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.640 So in game two, the boys went to sun Corpse 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.880 Stadium and beat them, and then we go back to again. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.200 I'm not I'm not named in this side for game three. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.160 So the night before the game we had we weren't 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.880 playing Newcastle that weekend because they did the split rounds 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.680 with the state of Origin. And so I went out 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.040 and had a meal with Crowe and a couple of boys, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.120 had one of a couple of beers. Nothing heavy, just 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.679 just a couple just cleansing Yale and I get home 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:25.040 and Laurie rings me Laury and Joey yep, because Laurie's 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.240 the captain. And he rings that says, hey, Maddie, I 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.760 don't know. Has Tommy contact coach Tommy Donicas? And I said, nah, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.560 he has made Toobs was really cruel.

You'll be okay, it probably would be 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.960 just putting. We're going to let you know. We're just 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.200 thrown your name to Tommy.

So I sat between the two pilots in 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:36.360 the cockpit and I made that's you joined them all 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.920 high club and sat there between and went down Not 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.960 the ideal preparation, but to see what it was interesting. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.640 That was the best State of Origin game I played. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.640 Really in that game, I sort of got. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.120 It and no time to think, probably no time to think. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.280 I just got down there and just got into it. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.000 Some of the best daboots people get hurt in the 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.280 warm up and they don't have any time to think. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.319 They just kept throwing straight in the deep end. Did 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:58.079 you win the decider? 0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:58.920 No, we didn't. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.040 Okay, well it's. 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.320 A shame he didn't know ticket man back then, Matthew. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.200 Yeah, yeah, great point. Yeah you know you bred him. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.800 Now can we talk about We spoke about him all 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.040 last week. The biggest news avenue South Wales. Obviously Brian 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.640 overs dropped Jack boss Stocks coming to that side. How 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.400 after a week of sort of pondering on this side, 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:18.960 how do you see that? 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.679 It's look you see when it got named, there was 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.000 a lot of surprises and sort of as the week's 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.880 gone on, you're thinking about, okay, what's the reasoning and 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.880 there's no Jack Boss Stock. What he's done. He's just gone. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.040 He's gone for a kick target. He's gone for a tick, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.120 a big kick target as opposed to to yardage tear. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.640 What losing to is going to put a lot of 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.640 pressure on our middles. Our middles, our middle yardage men 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.760 are going to have to really just really pick up 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.160 their act. I mean anyway, but now the extra mile 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.960 again without there, he's our best yardage man and so 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.640 boss Stock is. I really liked the selection. However, we've 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.839 got to get down there. Our yardage has got to 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.440 be good for us to get down to basically take 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.640 advantage of why he was selected. Jack, So our yard 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.160 is shamee. One thing you're going to get through this 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.439 preview you're going to hear me talk about a lot 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.760 is play the ball, speed and yardish game. It's the 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.320 most essential factor in this game. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.079 Yeah, I think I think they'll also think that's why 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.640 they got blokes like Critter and Bradman just sort of counter. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.480 You've got the kick targets of Mark and and you've 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.480 got jack boss Stock, but your center's getting back for 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.280 play one and play two. I think particularly Bradman, like 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.360 low center of gravity and real powerhouse out of yardige. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.400 I think he'll be used up quite a bit and 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.760 they'll meet him a lot have to particularly being on 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.360 that left side with Jackie Bosto. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.520 Those that those two hundred meters that always runs. Mate, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.800 someone's got it. They just don't look after himselves. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.440 Did you see him against Souse the other night too? 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.400 He was really good. I actually spoke to Leam Henry 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:49.960 on the radio during the week and he said, mate, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.800 Brian to during the week preparation like at Penrith, understandably 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.840 could be very disappointed with not being selected, but like 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.680 attitude is bad and after the game they I think 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.439 you've on interviewed him or something. He I just want 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.080 to shout out to Jack Bostock, like congratulations, last classy man. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.840 Class it's really classy. That was like we said about 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.600 Victor this time last week. Well there when Victor got 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.120 told he was number twenty and he just went. He 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.960 could see he's disappointed and he were in the elevator 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.040 and it was a lot weird and he goes, but 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.680 it is what it is. I just got to go 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.120 in the camp and help the boys. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.160 Classy Queensland for a second, we go on then for 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.839 one minute. Yeah, the their side, there's not too much 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.880 coming out of Queensland camp like their side just relatively unchanged. 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.000 The only thing is Lindsay Collins missing the game. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:33.880 Hia, that's a big loss. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.199 It is Lindsay always lives in that jersey being a 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.720 great play for Queensland. But Paddy Carrigan off for six 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.240 weeks Cinders most as he comes straight in off no games. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.440 I saw Billy talking during the week said he's pretty 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.920 well sweet and he seems like the kind of like 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.360 that's pretty professional. I don't think he would be doing 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.280 like he wouldn't come into that side unless he was 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.160 pretty fit. But one I like life for Queensland. I 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.559 don't like it being he's so well supporter Jeremiah and 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.120 I to begin Huge in Huge last year, he was 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:02.559 really good in the last game as well. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.199 Has played a lot of football though he. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.160 Last week's game and Tom Lolo's three hundred. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:07.839 Did you see that game? 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:09.240 See the first hit? 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.719 Unbelievable when he's in the mood like he symbolizes the 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.800 Cowboys that year when the Cowboys made Final four, he 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.599 was unbelieve, who's the best background in the compet to 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.520 mate and then the last three years he's been so inconsistent, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.840 more down than up, and so of the Cowboys. So 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.880 the other night, you know, the way he played and surprise, surprise, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.760 Cowboys win. But Billy loves him. 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.200 Yeah's and it was I think it might have been 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.240 the last game last year and he just went up, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.920 like physically went after it. Because when I think of Nana, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.800 I I kind of think of the big players. You know, 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.280 they put a kick up for him and he can 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.040 just do a lot of freaky things for a big body. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:47.600 Sill can. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.600 But you saw that in a Pandeth game when he 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.360 went after Moses Liota with that first shot. When he's 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.840 in the mood like he's going he's really he does 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.439 the little things really well, really aggressive with his line 0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.839 speed and things like that. So he'll be a big 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:00.560 in Queensland. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:00.800 Sure. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.440 Look you said last week, I think we had a 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.440 listening account said that you said ducks and drapes forty 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.080 seven times. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.080 Ducks and drakes. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.160 Ducks and drakes, sorry, ducks and drakes. They said that, 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.680 you said it forty seven times. Do you think ducks 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.400 and drakes still on the cards? 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.120 What do I think they'll play Ducks and drakes? 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.120 Do you think that they're going to well before do 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.600 you think they're going to be playing because you said 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.080 Cam Murray to start, do you think that, Laurie, are 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.240 you still getting that vibe? 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.440 I got a Gatfield Hill start, that's it. I do 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.880 get a Gatfield Hill start. I think I think early 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.960 in the game they've got to simplify and they've got 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.280 to they've got to be playing what I called North 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.200 South football, direct straight football as opposed to trying to 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.720 push the ball a little bit sideways. So that's the reason. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.040 Wouldn't surprise me if Isaiah starts off the bench and 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.560 they start with with Cam Murray. It also would not 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.480 surprise me if they start with Adam Vanila Blake and 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.400 Mitch Barnett goes back to the bench. Yeah, I wouldn't 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.480 surprise it because you to really art one thing when 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.680 you play, when you play State of Origin against Queensland 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.840 and Queensland and these big occasions, you've got to start well, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.200 You've got to start well, you've got to take a 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.440 little bit of air out of the stadium because it 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.480 maybe if we start slow, make that crowd well, just 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.720 when that crowd starts roaring and not, it doesn't just 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.960 lift the Queensland. It exerts enormous pressure on the referee. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.840 Referees are any human now and every time that we 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.920 lay half a second too long Loby screening for a 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.120 six six again, every time that he gives a six again, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.240 and put it this way, that crowd can buy Queensland 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.240 half half a second lay time in the ruck and 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.840 for people again that that that is, that's an enormous difference. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:49.120 Definitely, And like do we think there's Billy's always kind 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.360 of got something up his arsenal as well? Is there 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:52.560 his arsenal. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:02.320 That's a deep cut, this comfortable piece of metal in 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:08.760 your what's Billy Jake. Yeah. Gee, this constable, comfortable piece 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.720 of metal has been in your dad's ass for four years. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.240 This state of urgent metal has been Wally Lewis Metals 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.560 in your dad's ass. 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.560 Do you think do you think there's any drakes with 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.600 Slatzy as well? I like, I mean, he's there's not 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.800 really any pressure on them to play ducks and drakes. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.560 Like it's hard to sort of you're using that, you're 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.680 using let's lay off. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:31.640 You just learned. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.400 It's we call it silly buggers this week? 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.000 Is he going to be playing? Do you think Slatsy's 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.720 playing any silly bugs? That's hard to tell. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.720 I don't think so, Coop, I don't think so. Haven't 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.560 looked at their side. They're pretty settled and coming off 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.760 the last performance, I'm interested to see where at one 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.840 point then I comes on on onto the field and 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.840 who he replaces. He can play both sides, But does 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.960 he come on for Nicker, who's an attack minded player, 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:57.640 or cape Well, who's more defense minded. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.760 I think I wouldn't be surprised if I starts and 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:01.680 Nikero comes off the back. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.320 In just talking about that, I just actually thought the 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.840 same thing that big strong body. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.040 Yeah, so that was my sort of guess in terms 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.000 of him playing silly buggers as opposed to lots of drakes. 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.359 Yeah yeah, okay. Can we also get into a little 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.040 bit of tactical stuff. How do we think how do 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.000 we see let's start with New South Wales. If you 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.440 were in New South Wales, how do you want to 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.520 play against Queensland going up there? Like, what's what's the tactic? 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.840 Because I've got a little bit of a theory on 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.840 where Queensland weaknesses would lie in terms of where you're 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.240 going to attack, But where do you think they should 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:36.480 play coop? 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.960 I think to understand when when you're going to really 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.400 big games, you have to simplify, right, you got you've 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.400 got to have a really solid game plan, but it's 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.639 got to be simple. What happens if you make a 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.359 game plan too complex? What happens is everyone focuses on 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.800 the complexity and trying hard, focusing on trying to get 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.840 this complicated game plan on, and suddenly what happens is 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.080 you ignore the things that really matter, Like make really 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.520 simple things make a big difference. Mate, how hard you 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.000 run on the ball? But that is so basic. You 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.480 watch Queensland you watch those Queensland players, okay, in that 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.120
