1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Matthew, I think we have just witnessed one of the

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: greatest finals games in history. Can travers the Brisbane Broncos.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean we anticipated it was going to be good,

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: but that was Does this set the final series up

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: for a horrible Grand Final?

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Mate, Coops And as we talk here to let people know,

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: this is one game that we really haven't had a

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: second look at the other games that we'll watch and

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: then go and I'll go back and review certain parts

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: of it to get to understand the nuances of the

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: game and how it was panned out. This one, I've

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: just come straight from work straight into here made I'm

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: still blown away by it.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, the controversy, the drama in it. There were so

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: many different dramatic points, and then you look at the

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: even key moments like Reese Walsh missing a couple of

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: those goals, hits them, hits the crossbar on a two

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: point field goal, and you think, oh, this is done.

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: After the siren a penalty to then make a kick

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: a goal from in front. I mean, that was so

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: proper dressed up as an NRL game, Mate, it was.

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: It was incredible. And Jack and I were talking on

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: the drive home. I rang him on the way back

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 2: to say, mate, I'll be back in about twenty minutes,

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: and we had a broad discussion about the game and

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Jack made a point which I hadn't thought of until

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Jack said it, And it is so accurate in the

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: fact that the Reese Walsh sin bidding for the headbut

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: actually played into the Broncos hands. Now, people say, oh,

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: that's you know, that's crazy, but think of it like this.

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: He goes off for that ten minutes. In that ten minutes,

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: like the pace of the game, in the intensity of

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: the game, he got a ten minute breather. He went back.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Now they went down to eleven men, right, but he's

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: sitting out there. He gets to breathe for ten minutes,

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: goes back on the field. By that point, I think

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: they're down by sixteen points. And he comes on totally

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: fresh in a game where all the big men of

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: fatigued and just goes wham wham wham. It is one

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: of I can't remember a game where an individual has

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: had such a eventful game, an eventful afternoon like he did.

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: But his last his last fifteen minutes when he came

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: back on after the sin bin, I'd almost put up

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: on level as far as performance with Nathan Cleary in

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: that Grand Final, I agree with the Penrith yeah over

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: the Broncos.

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing. And you look at the

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: best finals games of all time, and most of them

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: are Grand Finals because it's just the most memorable. You

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: think of Broncos verse Cowboys twenty fifteen, Ben Hunter drops it,

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Thurston kicks out field goal. You look at twenty

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, I believe it well, twenty two to three

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Penrith versus Broncos and Nathan Cleary puts on that clinic

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: to get him back. And now you look at this

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: game camera Verse Broncos. Broncos have been in the three

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: probably biggest finals games of the last twenty years.

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: And I was sitting in that last dramatic as it

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: went to extra time. We went into the studio and

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm sitting next to Kevy Kevy Wallas in the studio

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: and he's watching the game and like of course with

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: his son Billy playing, who by the way, has been

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: playing outstanding, but he's sitting there and I watched him

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: the most crucial part of the game when it's going

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: to the golden point extra time and all that sort

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: of stuff. Every time Billy got the ball, I just

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: saw Kevy Titan, and I know what that's like, as

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: father is just like, don't make an error, just get up,

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: play the ball, yep, okay. And I could see that

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: with keV and made. He was right, he was made.

70
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: He was on the roller coaster.

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: You can imagine what he would have been like as

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: a coach when he was coaching them in those big

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: games as well, with Billy out there, because it's one

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: of those games where people will remember where they were

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: when they watched it. And I reckon because I was

76
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: sitting there with five minutes to go in that game

77
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: when Reese Walsh missed that field goal hit the crossby,

78
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: I thought, I think it's all done. I ordered chicken

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: wings right from Wings and Tins. Now they're up the

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: road and they give you the I scheduled it for

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: twenty minutes time just in case it went to like

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: extra time or whatever. But anyway it goes through, it

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: goes to extra time, it gets to golden point. My

84
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: chicken wings are ready, like they're ready to be picked up.

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: And you don't want to leave chicken going to like

86
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: too long reasons and shit, yeah, and then it gets

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: into extra time and it just continues to go and go.

88
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what it was like for you

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: buy the time I got there, my chicken wings were

90
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: color I was.

91
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: I can imagine. I feel so sorry for your wings.

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: They were Blake was like, where have you been? But

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what that's like for you guys

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: in the studio too. You're you're thinking you're about to

95
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: go straight on an and then an extra half an

96
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: hour so you don't get on in.

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: The crowd in the studio because we had Broncos fans

98
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: in the crowd, we had numerous Raider supporters, and it

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: was just it was crazy, Coop, Yeah, it was. And

100
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, there's so much happened in that last twenty

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes. There's a lot. I just forget a

102
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of it. Like you know when you said, Reese

103
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: Wash hit the ball, hit it hit the crossbar, crossbar. Oh,

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: that's right. I've forgotten about that because just so much

105
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: was going on.

106
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: So many key moments, obviously the sendoffs, but then even

107
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: that that last penalty. You know Zach Hosking, great friend

108
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: of the potty who probably probably wouldn't have been penalized

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: for it if not for seven weeks ago when Harry

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: Grant got panalized for it against Many. They sort of

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: set a precedent there. Yeah, because I'm watching it. You

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: go as a fan, you go an unbiased fan, you go,

113
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: it's probably not a penalty. You didn't actually put dangerous

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: kick pressure on. But they set it. They set a

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: precedent where if you hit that leg at all, it's

116
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: a penalty. After theo like the ref had blown on

117
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: his whistle, they're all celebrating on the sideline. And then

118
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: they brought in that new rule not long ago where

119
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: you can review if it's the last play, the bunker

120
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: can intervene, like so dramatic.

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: So dramatic, so much they would be sitting there those

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: Raiders plays with the head on the pillow, staring at

123
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: the roof, saying, if only if that, if that just

124
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: had happened, and if we go through the game now

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: and earlier in the week, I thought, I was looking

126
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: at this game, and I thought, yeah, you know what,

127
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: what gives what gave the Broncos and would get and

128
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: gave the Broncos gems going into the game. Sorry is

129
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: the fact that they liked to play very similar style.

130
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: It was going to be a day game. It was

131
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: going to be a fast track and you can move

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: the ball around. They both like to play attacking football,

133
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: so it was going to be okay, who attacks best.

134
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: It's not like when you have an opposition like a

135
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Penrith and they are right they can out. They might

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: out attack you, but they also might suffocate you with

137
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: that style. Both of those sides, mate, they've got their DNA.

138
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: They like to move the football. They like to open

139
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 2: the field up for their for their quick guys, particularly

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: the guys out the back, Walsh and and Kyle Weeks.

141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: And so as the game started to getting I was thinking,

142
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: he's going to win this. Earlier in the week I

143
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: thought Broncos might. But today I got up and were

144
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: driving into work, I went, man, it's a fatal complete

145
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: I just for me. The Raiders in my mind were

146
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: already going to win this. And then the game started

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: and the Broncos started so quick and energetic. I thought, wow.

148
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: But Raiders, after a bit of an unsettled start, sort

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: of steady themselves, absorbed a lot of that pressure and

150
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: then counterpunched and from there up until up until it

151
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: was forty minutes ago. I just went watching it and

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying right out, it's basically getting to the point

153
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: there's going to be raiders by how many raiders by what?

154
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: And then they score that try, and over the commentary

155
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: they go, oh, you know it's not over yet, and

156
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, well, yeah, technically it's not, but it is.

157
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: I can't. I just don't know where Broncos are going

158
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: to get their points that quickly. And then of course

159
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: they just keep going down cameras right hand side defense

160
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: and later we're going to talk midweek, we'll give our preview,

161
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: but that's an area they've got to tighten up, that

162
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: right hand.

163
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: Defense. It was all at Sooner and Stuart, Yeah, he just.

164
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: Kept going down that side, Reese Walsh continually.

165
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: And you could see when they when you go down

166
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: an edge and you start to lose confidence like that.

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: I think the first the first try they scored, he

168
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Walsh went down, he made a line break himself. Timmico

169
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: turned out, he went through Foggety and then scored the

170
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: next time they go down there, Timmico and everyone turns

171
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: in obviously not wanting to take a dummy that he

172
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: throws long, the winger scores, then the next one Billy

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Walters pumps long jets, Stewart goes out and then Shibasaki

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: goes through. You just see how you toy you with

175
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: an edge defense by just showing the different variations.

176
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: Beautiful little variations all the time, nice little variations, and

177
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: that they were it was.

178
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: The game was at an intensity. It was a completely

179
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: different level to all the other three finals games.

180
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: But I totally agree it was not just the exciting finish,

181
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: but the intensity and the spoed of the game made

182
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: it the best finals game. And Coop, that's day football.

183
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: We all say, mate, day football is you can move

184
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: the ball around. It's a faster game. And and the

185
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: reason why Cooper gets more exciting at the back end

186
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: of the game is the nature of the game of

187
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: day football. The moving, the intensity of the pace means

188
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: that the big guys really tire out. Like you look

189
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: at the last the last twenty minutes, it was just

190
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: like touch football moving around they were. And that's that's

191
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: the sorry, Coops. That's the thing about it is if

192
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: you if you go back and you go back and

193
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: watch the game, and what will show is that first

194
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: thirty minutes was so fast and so intense. You got

195
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: a little You've got a little clue of what was

196
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: to come. And that last ten minutes, you see the

197
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: middles were out on their feet and they were so vulnerable,

198
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: and Makaye scored that try checked off his right foot

199
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: went through basically untouched. And that's when you went right,

200
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: this second half is going to be all about the

201
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: little guys. Yeah, and that's that's how it transports.

202
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: There were different cycles where I was watching the game, going, jeez,

203
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Broncos are out on their feet. Here they looked they

204
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: looked so tired, and then ten minutes later like Raiders

205
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: look completely out on their feet. It just kept the

206
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: fatigue just that was like a burt on. They just

207
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: kept passing the fatigue over. And even though it was

208
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: a high intense game, when twenty minutes in, Madge brings

209
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: paying hals off because he's a bloke that can play

210
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: huge minutes. Is played eighty minutes in numerous games, but

211
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: it's so intense and he wants him to be effective,

212
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: not out there just trying to get through the game.

213
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: He's got to be playing at a high INTENSI that

214
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: even pain has to come off and then obviously goes

215
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: on hurts his ankle and he ye soldier through the

216
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: rest of that game.

217
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: And people say at the time sport is ninety five

218
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: percent mental, five percent physical. This is an example of

219
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: it in the fact that you're watching that second half

220
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: not long after halftime, on watching and I say to

221
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Fletcher Hind and said, hey, look at the Broncos middles.

222
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: They're gone, They're out on their feet. I said, they're

223
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: just going to blast away here the Raiders. But when

224
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: Walsh comes back on the field and that first try

225
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: they scored to bring it back to what was it

226
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: twenty eight to sixteen, anyway, that within twelve and suddenly

227
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: what happened there was the Broncos all of a sudden

228
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: get energized. And it's not like the Raiders hit the wall.

229
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: They didn't hit the wall. What they did they stopped playing.

230
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: They got nervous straight away and they scored that try.

231
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: It's almost all in their minds are going, we can't

232
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: lose this from here, surely not. Then they score again

233
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: and the Raiders just stop playing football. They will look

234
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: back on that game in that in that last fourteen

235
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: minutes and more than just talking about the right side defense,

236
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: all the errors they made and little defensive misroads and

237
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: all that. The biggest thing Ricky will say is, boys,

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: we stopped playing and in the modern game, with the

239
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: speed of the rucks of the momentum, is it mate,

240
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: If you stop playing right and you're just trying to

241
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: defend mate, side is just going to go wham wham

242
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: whim and just rattle am up.

243
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Well, particularly a sidelight the Broncos, like you saw it

244
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: throughout that whole game. Canber kicked a lot of seven

245
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: tackle sets and you see the effect of seven tackle sets.

246
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: You saw it across the whole weekend. How during the

247
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: round you probably don't see it because you're not playing

248
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: up against the best sides a lot of the weeks,

249
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: so sometimes you might be playing against the bottom four

250
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: side kicker seven tackle set. They don't really make you

251
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: pay for it in finals footy, little errors like that.

252
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: There was one where Cayo kicked it early and it

253
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: went seven Broncos you don't see. You don't wrestle the

254
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: momentum back for ten to fifteen minutes. They good sides,

255
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: they get down there, they put you in a corner,

256
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: they get a repeat set and you do not get

257
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: back down your side of the field for an attacking

258
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: chance again for a fifteen to twenty minutes. It takes

259
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: all the fatigue out.

260
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: It does and Coop. It happens to the best of them.

261
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the wires and Penrith a

262
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: little bit later, but Nathan Cleary once in the second

263
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: half just put them through a bit of a frivolous

264
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: kick seven tackle set Warriors worked, went down the other

265
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: end of the field like a hello. Seama scores. Yeah,

266
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: it happens to the best from the best defenses. Whenever

267
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: when you give away a seven tackle set, momentum just swings.

268
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Can I ask we're going to get to our back

269
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: fence player of this match, but I want to ask

270
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: you we're going to preview during the week, but pain

271
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: halfs obviously those boys go through to a pre limb.

272
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: We don't know the extent of pain. Hass is injury.

273
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Can they win the pre lim Grand Final without paying

274
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: hass Do you think the Brisbane Broncos.

275
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: I think they can. Look that they can, but it

276
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: just makes everything a little bit harder. That's you know,

277
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: other guys are going to have to stand right, step

278
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: right up. Here's the thing about it too. They they've

279
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: got a nervous weight the Broncos for next day or two,

280
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: not just as far as injuries concerned. The ref Walsh

281
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: head butt, yeah right, and made the Pat Carrigan one,

282
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 2: which might even be more serious than that the resh one.

283
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this in the Broncos favor the na Real

284
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: really want Walsh there, you know.

285
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: What I mean? And can I like and I looked

286
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: at that incident right and and how like there wasn't

287
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot in it, like the head part was and

288
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and I get the head butt and yahda YadA, and

289
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: it should have been a penalty to the Raiders. I thought.

290
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: I didn't like that Hudson had actually been sent off

291
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: for just instigating and niggling, because that's part of the game.

292
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes the game, you try to get under the opposition

293
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: skin so they make an error like punching or something,

294
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: so they get sent off. It's your advantage. But that

295
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was a lot in Reswash went off.

296
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be suspended for it.

297
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I hope he doesn't on him there.

298
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: It's like it's he's so powerful for the game. It

299
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: brings people to the game. I hope he doesn't. I

300
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 2: hope he plays, but I think it's gonna be nervous weight.

301
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

302
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: And the same with the carrigan. I mean, I want

303
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: the I want the best players. I just want the

304
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: best player with the best sides out there. And it's

305
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: funny with the hard someone getting tend to sim Come on, guys,

306
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: what's that you know? Just because one person gets yes,

307
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: there's a bit of a melee, a melee melee merle mellie.

308
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: Just because there's a bit of a push and shove

309
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: doesn't and someone is going to go to the symbing

310
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: doesn't mean a player from the opposition as together symb a.

311
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Well, the modern game, it's it's like they're so they

312
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: are afraid of criticism, so they try to make it equal. Yeah,

313
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: even though it's not like even though it's Hudson got

314
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: in his face and I understand he probably instigated it,

315
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, like it is

316
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: on you as a player to hold your nerve a

317
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: little bit. And while she probably got a bit angry,

318
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: gave him a bit of a gave him a bit

319
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: of a love tap, a little bit of Liverpool kiss.

320
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I didn't think that you need to

321
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: send HUDs yet, just to just to square it up.

322
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: You get, Look, someone gets in your face and sledges.

323
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, then part of the.

324
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: Professional is you've got to take it. Yeah, you can

325
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: give a little bit back, but the reason they're sledging

326
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: you is that come on you and have a go.

327
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: They're trying to they're trying to unnerve you, or they're

328
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: trying to get you to react. And Rees did that.

329
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: Hunds to tell you it was great acting from Huddy

330
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: as well. Honey, you would have wanted to Silver argue

331
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: for it, because you like, he gave him a little

332
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: little nudge on the chin and then he then he

333
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: pushed him. Hudson fully hit the deck, but he did

334
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: it so well it didn't actually look like a flop

335
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: and it looks like he actually got pushed over.

336
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't say silver like you had to say gold load. Yeah.

337
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, there's been some good performances.

338
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Harry Grant probably takes the goal.

339
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just say this, coop. This is both coaches

340
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: would have been up in that box when the game

341
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: went into up into toward one hundred minutes going geez,

342
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: we're going to get through here, you know, like we've

343
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: got it, We've got We've got to get through here

344
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: because Ricky's got a huge job now to get the

345
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: players up mentally physically, yes, but more mentally to get

346
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: to try to climb that mount and again when you're

347
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: just about you're just about home. And let's talk about

348
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos for one second. You saw the effect of

349
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: the Broncos in the last eighteen months after losing that

350
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Grand Final, after being ahead in almost such a similar

351
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: situation we're in our head with fourteen fifteen minutes ago

352
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: and getting run down and beaten, and the effect that

353
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: that had on them in the next season, right even

354
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: into the next year. It had an effect. Ricky's got

355
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: one week to get them up and get them going again.

356
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: And that's without talking about the physical side of it.

357
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: Where Madge goes okay, he goes away, They fly back

358
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: tonight to Brisbane. They exhale, right to put our legs

359
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: up for a few days. Let's get ourselves ready. Well.

360
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: I remember Cameron Smith used to say this leading into

361
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: finals when he was at the Storm. He said, you

362
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: need the week off, he said, he said, I've played

363
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: these people have got different theories. Sometimes people like to

364
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: play consistently week in week out and get momentum going

365
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: to a grand final. He said, I've done it every

366
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: single way someone can in finals footy, and the way

367
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: you win a grand final is you got to win

368
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: that if you're in the top four. This is why

369
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: people don't win outside of the top four, not because

370
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: they're a worse team or they you know, they finish

371
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: lower on the ladder. It's not because of that. It's

372
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: because you don't get the opportunity to get the week off.

373
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: You have to go the lot. You have to play

374
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: each week against top eight teams and then get into

375
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: a grand final. But Melbourne have done it when they've

376
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: won the Grand final. They've always gone week off, play

377
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: a pre lim and then get to the Grand final.

378
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's a point that probably isn't stressed

379
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: enough how important that week off is to go straight

380
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: to a pre limb.

381
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: There's always been that discussion, keep playing football, keep winning

382
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: and get momentum, or have a week off. There was

383
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: always the debate. And I'll remember back when years when

384
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: I played, and even the years just before that preceded me.

385
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: The feeling was no, no, keep playing now. The week

386
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: off can break your momentum, you know, and you get

387
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: out hop you get out of the groove. Now everyone

388
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: universally just goes you need it, you need the week off.

389
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Who's who's your best?

390
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: Who's your's a back fence.

391
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: Player of the match, back fence player of the match,

392
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean my one. He was my ex factor in

393
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: the review. In the preview for this week, Reese Walsh,

394
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: I think he was at halftime. I had Hudson written

395
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: down Hudson Young. I thought Hudson was unbelievable, set up

396
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: a try off a kick, scored one off a foggedy kick,

397
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: and he was given Ben Hunt nightmares all game running

398
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: at in one on one. But Reese Walsh two forty

399
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: twenties two try, assists a try of his own, and

400
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: is just his overall impact and energy when he come

401
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: back on that field, I thought he was unbelievable.

402
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: One of his greatest performances. And as I said before

403
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: that last fifteen minutes, the way he came on and

404
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: just basically almost single handedly won that game, I'd say

405
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: his greatest performance, greatest at fifteen minute period. You just go, wow,

406
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: frame that put it up on the wall. Look, I said,

407
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: it's really well. So I'll go a different way my

408
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 2: bad fans. But I'm going to have Billy Walters. I

409
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: just think Billy defensively, he was really strong, made his

410
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: running game is really strong, said nice little death moments.

411
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: And we'll talk about this more on the preview. But

412
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: I without a doubt I think that Reynolds will come back.

413
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: Reynolds will go, in my opinion, into the team. I

414
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: reckon Kevin, they will keep Billy Walters at six. And

415
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: I think Ben huntle got nine. Yeah, I think so.

416
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: I think sometimes with Ben Hunt and Reno there's a

417
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: bit of the sameness. Yeah you know what I mean. Look,

418
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: but Billy just brings a little bit of something different.

419
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: It's a tough it's going to be a tough decision

420
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, good decision to have because he's

421
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: got blokes so we can do a job there. But yeah,

422
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting.

423
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: And world undermage because he he's copt a lot of

424
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: stick through the year when you know about all the stuff,

425
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: how hard he trained him. Here we go, oh, here

426
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: we go again, Madge. We'll I tell you what the

427
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: reason he trained him hard? It was an evident this afternoon. Yeah,

428
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: because mate, they dug in and we're able to win

429
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: that game. And I'd see what they don't win that

430
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: game last year? No, no way, they they do not

431
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: win that game last year. This year they're much they're

432
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: more battle hardened. I think they've got a mental toughness

433
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: about them. You're going to take a lot of stopping.

434
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: On the Now to the Saturday night game. The Roosters

435
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: played the Sharks, obviously elimination game. Roosters are now out,

436
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: They're on Mad Monday. Sharks will play the loser of

437
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: that Broncos Verse Raiders game. So the Sharks be the

438
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: Raiders next week, which will preview. But what did you

439
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: take out of this Roosters and Sharks game? Because I

440
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of a lot of the games this round,

441
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: they all started the first twenty minutes very physical, very

442
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: high intense. Well how did you see this one?

443
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: Look in a nutshell coop the Sharks. They played smarter,

444
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: but I think more important, I mean, that's primary importance,

445
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: but as important was how physical that played. The Roosters

446
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: have been beating sides on the back of their physicality

447
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: like their pack has been enormous but made the the

448
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 2: I just thought the Sharks pack were outstanding and one

449
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: of the things that allowed them to defend so strongly

450
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: was the fact that the back three well and Ronalda

451
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: like the work that they do in yardage just make

452
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: mate weaving through getting them on the back of They

453
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: dominate sets of six a little bit like Brian Toe

454
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: and Dylan Edwards you know, do with Penrith when they're flying.

455
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: The fact that they dominated sets of six, they would

456
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: bring the ball back to the to the Sharks forwards

457
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: and it basically it just it just allowed the Sharks

458
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: forwards to take a little breather in yardage and then

459
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: keep the gas in the tank you for defense. And

460
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: that was always going to be really important because they

461
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: are up against the side that had seen Walker who's

462
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: been flying and in attack. But the other one made

463
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: Tedesco to defend, you know, the Shark pack. They needed

464
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: energy in the tank to be able to withstand what

465
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: Tedesco is going to do with his fast feet through

466
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: the middle and his past selection. So that that was

467
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: it for me. I just thought I thought they played smart,

468
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: I thought they played tough, but I thought Ronaldo and Sionakutawa.

469
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: I thought they were so good for their folls.

470
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And you make a good point on

471
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: their physically. I think all the games were physical as

472
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: but what the Sharks did so well was they actually

473
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: attacked with their defense, if that makes sense. Yeah, a

474
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: lot of times they front loaded so much energy into defense,

475
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: forcing errors out of the roosters. But a key moment

476
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: for me was I think it was Ronaldo Milatalo's second

477
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: try in that first half right before halftime, which was

478
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: a real uh you know, nailing the coffin. I thought,

479
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: like a a big moment to score right before halftime.

480
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: But Sammy Walker makes an error and their mental when

481
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: I say they use their defense to attack the transition

482
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: straight away, someone picks it straight up off the ground.

483
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: They get on the attack, find Billy Burns. Billy Burns

484
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: almost scores, he gets tackled. They go pass, Nico gets

485
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: a quick play, the ball finds Trendle, Trindle kicks it

486
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: across the Mulataalo. But just that fitness and a lot

487
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: of teams off the back of an hour sometimes use

488
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: it and they get a breeze and they go, oh right, right,

489
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: we've got the ball back. Let's slow things down, let's

490
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: get into our set. They just picked it up. Transitions

491
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: so quickly went down. Their roosters were scattered. They get

492
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: the ball to the right man, Mullatalo and ends up scoring.

493
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: I really like that about the Sharks. They did less

494
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: set up football, and that's that's important because at times

495
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: in the game, like what you just said there, you know,

496
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: the attacks cook and there's opportunity on. Mate, Let's just

497
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: keep playing football. Let's trust ourselves. Let's back ourselves here,

498
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: because oftentimes in situations like that coupe, you'll see it,

499
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: they'll go may just take one of the middle. For us,

500
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: we used to call it back and they just take

501
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: as a settler.

502
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

503
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: All it does is settle the defense. It resets the defense.

504
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: So I loved about the Sharks. Whenever there was opportunity,

505
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: that backed themselves and they went for it. Trindle from

506
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: early in the game, you could see that that week

507
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: off has served him well. He looked fresh and you

508
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: go made he was really on. I think it's the

509
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: best game he's ever played as an NLE player. And

510
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: I actually think at the moment, because winning competition is

511
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: all about timing, I reckon, this is the best that

512
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: I've ever seen the Sharks play while Craig Fitsgiven has

513
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: been coached there. Yeah, and that one you just said

514
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: about there where the ball come out from Sammy Walker

515
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: a tear. What was crucial in that moment too, was

516
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: the fact that they didn't score on that play. I reckon,

517
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: if they score on that play, they go back and

518
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 2: look at that, and I reckon there might have been

519
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: a hand in there, But the fact that they didn't score,

520
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: and that's little anomally in the rules that they pushed

521
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: it on the following play and we're able to score.

522
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: And we're talking about the settlers before. A lot of

523
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: people use that settler I think as a cop out

524
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: to buy themselves time to think of what you're going

525
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: to do when your set Yeah, and you were both

526
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: half shitn here, but we got Jack here. Who's Jack's

527
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: actually got for those who are watch on YouTube, he

528
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: set himself up a little camera where we can actually

529
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: see him now.

530
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: Actually set up budget, set up budget aside.

531
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you from a bloke who's actually played in

532
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: the forwards and back row, is that how you see

533
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: the settler as well? Sometimes because you're oftentimes the halves

534
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: are giving you the ball to just take it to

535
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: a point to settle it for them. Yeah, is that

536
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: how you see that?

537
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: There was I think the second try for the Broncos

538
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: you saw I'm not too sure which ford it was.

539
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: It might have been. I'm not too sure which one

540
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: it was, but I think Benny Hunt just dropped him

541
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: off and you saw him accelerate into the You saw

542
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: him accelerate into the line and there was nothing really doing.

543
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: Even the commentators were saying, there's nothing going on. And

544
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: then he just exploded like almost goose steps half through

545
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 3: the line. Gotta quick play the ball. And then they

546
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: have that that try on Tamale on the edge and

547
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: they just Catonis Dack just like tipped it on. I

548
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: think that's showed like if you are going to do

549
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: something like that, you sort of have to offer something

550
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 3: a bit different. You have to sort of get through

551
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: the line a bit more, and it's.

552
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Hard to do.

553
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 3: I think a lot of that relies purely on your

554
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: physicality and your fitness when it goes to those like

555
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: back ends of the halves.

556
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: Great example, I mean, we are previewing now we have

557
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: we are we have moved on from that game. We

558
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: actually are on the Sharks first. The Roosters do right.

559
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: It's you see that even you're not listening.

560
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: It'll be nice if you use it'd be nice if

561
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: you use an example here and there, good.

562
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: But it nice. Can I use one here? And oftentimes

563
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: I'll talk about shot shot football when you're saying, like,

564
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 2: and it works at shot shot football. He's very, very

565
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: good against an enthusiastic, enthusiastic defense. And we're going to

566
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: talk about this later when we talk dogs storm and

567
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: it's working to one side of the field, gathering numbers,

568
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: and then immediately, don't set, don't reset, Just send the

569
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: ball to the other side of the field, as quickly

570
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: as you can to the far to the far post,

571
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: shot shot short, gather numbers, hit on the other side.

572
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: There's another one I want to do. There's another little

573
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: raw it's not the right word, but the little thing

574
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: in the game to have a look at, right, is this,

575
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: when I think it might be the Shark's second try,

576
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 2: have a look at what happens. Talakai gets tackled inches

577
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: from the try line, right underneath the posts. Now, what

578
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: happens in that instance when you have a when you've

579
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: got a player on your side that has been brought down,

580
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: and it is tackled right near the try line. Okay,

581
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: in and around the post. What happens is booze to

582
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: the honeypot. Have a look next time you see that situation.

583
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: How have a look at how many defenders are all

584
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: gathered around, gathered around just garden that inches off the ground.

585
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: There's five or six blokes. So on either edge there's opportunity.

586
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: So what you've got to do in that instance is

587
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: you've just got to go clinically. You just got to

588
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: go pass past to an edge really quick. There's a

589
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: fair chance you're going to score. Most teams stuff it

590
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: up because they say it's it's very very hard to

591
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: attack that close to the line. Well it isn't. Just

592
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: drive another one in close to the line, gather them in,

593
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: then hit them on an edge. Sharks do that. Their

594
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: second Talakai Neilli scores gets brought down. Just showed the line,

595
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: the roosters all condensed and around and they just go

596
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: bang bang to the edge and school I just it's

597
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: just a again, it's evidence that sharks just took the

598
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: opportunities that were there. We're very good at taking their opportunities.

599
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Ye are. I think they were that they finally found that.

600
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: We said it last week, but they found their football.

601
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: They found it and I found coops.

602
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: And this is, for whatever reason, the combination of Brandon

603
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: Trindle and Nico Hines always Gunner's attention and critique. You know,

604
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: everyone's talking about who's the boss, and he's not doing this.

605
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: He's in good form, he's not well. I think what

606
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: we saw the other night was it working perfectly in

607
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: the fact that Trendle he had the hot hand, so

608
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: he was doing most of the finessing and the organizing.

609
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: What I loved about Nicko's game, did you have a

610
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: couple of hers? Yeah, a couple of hers. I loved

611
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: how aggressively you played. That's the thing I sit and go.

612
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: That's what how Trendle plays. The organizing and that's the stuff. Hey, Niko,

613
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: that's exactly how you play. I don't give a fuck

614
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: about getting making errors here and there. Mate, I just

615
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: need you taking that ball the line and just threatening

616
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: the defense all the time. The size you look at

617
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: your speed, look at your footwork. And Nico the Blake Brayley,

618
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: the elevation of his game in the last six seven

619
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: weeks has really elevated Nico. The scoop and goal of

620
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: Blake Brailey. That's encouraged Nico to play in the front

621
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: football less thinking, more just reacting and that's I think

622
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: that's Nico's best football yep.

623
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: And my back fence player of this game, we just said,

624
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: you just said it before Braden Tricky Trindle, I think

625
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: he had the hot hand in this game. Nico has

626
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: probably been their main man the last five or six weeks.

627
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: He's had the hot hand. He's been putting on all

628
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: the trices and stuff. I think Tricky was unbelievable and

629
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: it was always going to be a good battle battle

630
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: between and Mullatalo ended up getting the upper hand in

631
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: the end. Loves shits during love.

632
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: I love that mate. He brings the swagger and the menace.

633
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 3: You need it.

634
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I thought Tricky was unbelievable and giving him

635
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: good opportunities and just always always found the right pass.

636
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Always happened to find the right but I knew where

637
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: the space was and knew how to get it there.

638
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: And another thing really impressed before I do my back

639
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: fence player. The thing that really impressed me about the

640
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Sharks is in that last ten minutes when the game

641
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: was on the line, they came up with a couple

642
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: of errors, but they held their nerve and they were

643
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: able to defend it. They showed mental toughness to get

644
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: through it. My back fence player and the reason they

645
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: brought this bloke to the club. He highlighted the other night,

646
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: Adam Fanula Blake mate. I said on the show just

647
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: an hour or so ago. If you're watching, I said,

648
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: when you talk about the greatest middlemen and yardage men

649
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: of all time or the ones that I've seen, I

650
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: go Glenn Lazarus, Jason Talmalala, Payne Hass, Adam Fanola Blake.

651
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: He is a phenomenon and there was periods in that

652
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: game where the game was really in the balance. He

653
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: just kept taking it up and just kept punching through.

654
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: And this was against the Rooster's pack mate that's been

655
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: dominating other packs in the back half of this year

656
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: and made at times he was just taking on himself

657
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: the bloke. The bloke is that he is a phenomenal football.

658
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: And some of the some of the front rowers who

659
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: probably don't get the recognition, like Glenn Lazarus's and paying

660
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: hasses because they don't play state of origin like Adam

661
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Fanila Blake and Tamalolo in there both in their primes.

662
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: If they were to play state of origin there, they

663
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: would be recognized way more than they would because origin

664
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: is seen as the as the pinnacle. But they are

665
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: both like they are so unbelievable through that middle.

666
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: Fanilla Blake, you know the way he the way he

667
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: played L's you just go, yeah, Craig fitz Greenwood in

668
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: the box and gown. That's that's why we bought that bloke.

669
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 2: That's why we bought that bloke to win those matches

670
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: and to win next week and if we get to

671
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: the Grand Fold, to be able to win ground finals.

672
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: He's the type of bloke you need in the side.

673
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: They're the blokes that win titles.

674
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: To be a good game next week. All right, Matthew.

675
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: We were lucky enough to have a little drive around

676
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: in the new Volkswagen EV range, the ID four Pro

677
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and the ID five. Big fan of it. I loved it.

678
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Did you like it?

679
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: I really really enjoyed it.

680
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I got to I got to say my favorite feature

681
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: the front seats. They've got the built in massage seats

682
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: and look, massads. I've been in some cars before where

683
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: they've they've claimed that they've got massage seats, but this

684
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: one's next level.

685
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: It was.

686
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: It was insane in fact, Coop, it is. Actually I'm

687
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: considering making a comeback after it because I tell you

688
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: what to make it? What my got it? Rugby league,

689
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: I mean camera monster are the best to me and

690
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Dylan Brown thirty me and for ten years, dear lord

691
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: one point five of me in a lot of money.

692
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: I want I want in. I mean those massage seats.

693
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, mate, these are the bulging disc in

694
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: the back and the neck loosen, the sadic nerve stretch,

695
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: the right hit flex.

696
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: I've got to say, if you made it, I don't

697
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: know if you'd want to take a pay cut to

698
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: go back into rugby league. Your bloody killing and how

699
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: many gigs have you got?

700
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: How many kids?

701
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: Too?

702
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah that's true. I'd always find time.

703
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I could do this podcast still if I

704
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: was playing. You've got Bill Eggs number, give me a call. Yeah,

705
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: what do you want to go to Melbourne? I would

706
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: you know?

707
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you right now. Okay, Yeah, they've trained

708
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: they trained pretty hard back in back in your day. Yeah,

709
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't survive if we sent no, no, no,

710
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: if we sent prime Matthew John's down to Melbourne. I

711
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: don't reckon you'd last the preseason.

712
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I said to your numerous times my last year

713
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: and rugby league at the Sharks was the hardest overtraining.

714
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: US guys scoffed off. But when we had Paul Galla

715
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: on the podcast, he confirmed it. He said it was

716
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: the hardest he'd ever trained. So I can if I

717
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: can handle that what Gal handled, give what he's done

718
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: his career, well, let me tell you I can handle

719
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: whatever you guys serve up down south of Melbourne.

720
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: Gal's still going. Maybe this car's got a bit of massuge.

721
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it has no bulging disc.

722
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: On that man. Yeah, yes, but the range you know,

723
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: with an TV cart it offers up to five hundred

724
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: and forty four kilometers range. I was ready. You know

725
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: how long that is. You know if we were on

726
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: a trip that's Sydney to Armadah. You said, you ever

727
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: been Armadad.

728
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: I've been Armadad. I played a mate back in the

729
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: day at a school tripped Armadad. We played union comp

730
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: down there. Did, yeah, but I think killed it.

731
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: How'd you go win? Ah?

732
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember it really, but I probably would have.

733
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: I love Armadah play. We've played a tril there as well,

734
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: two tries, three conversions? Who for two trysis nights?

735
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Who'd you play against?

736
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 2: We played against Paramatta there.

737
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Did you Yes? Is there a big rugby league community

738
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: in Armadall a huge.

739
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: Regular community back in the day They had all these

740
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: specialized camps back in the day at the end of

741
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 2: every in December in Armadale is to host them there

742
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: at the University Universe. Now what Koper? What a university is?

743
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: It's a place of learning.

744
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: I know what university is, right, Although I didn't go,

745
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I did. I did a UNI. I did one thing

746
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: semester of UNI.

747
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: It sounds like really spell it.

748
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: I can't even pronounce it. I did do one semester

749
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: when I first moved to Melbourne. I did the first

750
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: because they said for all you young players you need

751
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 1: if you're going to play in the NRL, you also

752
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: have to be doing studying on.

753
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: The side, have a backup plan.

754
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: So I did it for one semester and then I

755
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: deferred relentlessly for two years.

756
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 2: Well Jack Jack went to university. You can tell by

757
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: the way he handles his sort of addresses himself. Tresh

758
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: went to university. Not as obvious, I'll to you.

759
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, obvious, clearly not well she, she claims,

760
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: she goes to university as the most of us, yet

761
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: she is the least articulate. And I say this relentlessly.

762
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: She can barely stringer sentence together sometimes.

763
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: Matt, what time are you going to get home from

764
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: the pub? Matt way home at two hours late?

765
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Hello? I what I will say as well? On the charging,

766
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: because yeah, five hundred and forty four kilometers, that's pretty handy.

767
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people, and my knock on EV's has

768
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: always been, well, where am I going to find a

769
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: place to charge? It might take a while. They've got

770
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: quick charge incapabilities. Now it charges from ten percent to

771
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: eighty percent in around twenty two minutes.

772
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: That is that's insane.

773
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty handy.

774
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 2: That is very that is insane. That's very very good.

775
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: That's quick because the knocks always been oh well, yeah,

776
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: it's not as quick, but twenty two minutes. If you're

777
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: stopping on a highway, you stop in twenty two minutes

778
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: and you have a feed, go to the toilet. They

779
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: the picnic rug have a snack ring ring on one

780
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: of those emergency phones.

781
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah sounds good, coops.

782
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Matthew. Let's get back to the podcast and then

783
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: to the Saturday afternoon game. Penrith Panthers played the Warriors

784
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: over in New Zealand afternoon here at night in New Zealand.

785
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: But it was bloody, an absolute dog fight the first half.

786
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: Horrible weather, great march. It was good to what yet

787
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Warriors brought a physicality but I hadn't really, I hadn't

788
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: seen a lot of the year, given injuries and whatnot.

789
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: But they give it to Penrith at the start. They

790
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: give it to them.

791
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: The wars really dominated long periods of the game with

792
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: their physicality. But mate, Penrith had the smarts because they

793
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: had the seven. Yeah, that's it, Like it's just the

794
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: importance you know, if putting on the putting in the

795
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: right kick at the right time and little things like that,

796
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: you know, making sure and Isaiao had a lot to

797
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: do with as well, making sure, Okay, the ball's got

798
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: to get there, let's get it there.

799
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: And we and we did say that in the preview

800
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: during the week we said that the Warrior's side is

801
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: a great side, but they do lack the creativity. That's

802
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: that's where we were going to question in comparison to

803
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: Penrith Panthers who had Nathan Cleary. You saw with the

804
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: weather as well, it actually played into that into the

805
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: Warrior's hands because because it was so wet, there wasn't

806
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: a lot of creative play happening. But they were down

807
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: there for the first half. Warriors had so many play

808
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: the balls inside and they just couldn't create points. They

809
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: got they kicked the two points early, but they just

810
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: couldn't create points. Then you see Penrith go down there

811
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: when momentum finally shifts, Nathan Cleary just building pressure the biggest,

812
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: the biggest moment, and I saw in the impact in

813
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: the game because it ended up sort of blowing out

814
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: the schoolne but it didn't The school line did not

815
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: represent the game, not at all. Nathan clear the pressure

816
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: that he put on the Warriors forward pack in defense

817
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: just by he did an early kick in the right

818
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: corner on third tackle kept him down there and then

819
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: after that he kicked. He kicked about three or four

820
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: repeat set he did, and there was a ten to

821
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: fifteen minute period where the Warriors didn't even see the ball.

822
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: You are spot on.

823
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: It took a little while for them to really get

824
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: their template on. And Penrith's template is like you just said,

825
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 2: kick long early, chase ferociously, and defend like killers. Attack

826
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: like you just said before, attack through your defense. And

827
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 2: they did that, and the first time they got one

828
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: of those suffocation sets on where they got him in

829
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: the corner and kept going at him, they scored the

830
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: following set, and then not long after, You're right, Not

831
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: long after they went Nathan went repeat set, blaze to lunge,

832
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: you went repeat set, Nathan went repeat set, and mate,

833
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: you're right. The Warriors didn't have the ball for almost

834
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: ten minutes. Then they go into half time and you

835
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: come out after half time and Brad Schnyder scores a

836
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: soft trip from Dobb me half, Well, why do you

837
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: score a soft try? Because it was fatigue and it

838
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 2: was pressure, that physical and mental pressure that they built.

839
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: I will say, like, I've got so much respect for

840
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors for the amount of players and crucial players

841
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: they lost. Metcalfe the best example there, but a forward

842
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: leader of the quality of Mitch Barnett to leave him.

843
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: But there's certain things that like, like early in the game,

844
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 2: when you play a team like Penrith and the underdog,

845
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: what they needed to do early Warriors is strike a

846
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: blow early right, strike a blow and suddenly you find

847
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: you pincher try early six nil and suddenly that little

848
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: bit of pressure goes on Penrith. Then what happens is

849
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: you get a penalty and you take the two points.

850
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 2: It's eight nils. So all of a sudden you're outside

851
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: of that six point split. And that's how like to

852
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: cause an upset. A lot of times, you've got to

853
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: start well and then bit by bit you just scoreboard

854
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: pressure goes on the red hot favorites. And that was

855
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 2: the opportunity they had. They had an opportunity, had a

856
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: penalty early. A tenor boy didn't put it out. That

857
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: is unforgivable, unforgivable at that level the importance of that game.

858
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: To not put it out in that situation, you know,

859
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: that's that is bread and butter for a playmaker. You've

860
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: got to put it out in a finals match when

861
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: you know you're the underdog and you're playing against a

862
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: high flying team, a team of the quality of Penrith.

863
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: They give you an opportunity that you've got to take it.

864
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: And now you see like that was you saw a

865
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: little bit of weakness from Penrith that start of the

866
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: game where Worries sort of probably got it over and physically.

867
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: But now you there is an eerie feeling about any

868
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: team that comes up against Pendri I would not want

869
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: to be playing Pendrith after that sort of win. But

870
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: have you got a back fence player of this match?

871
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just say just have them. I get some

872
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: random notes. I've got to say this. Paul Alamodi. Alamodi

873
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: saved that forty twenty, pushed it in, then found he

874
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: found a way of getting it out of the end

875
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: goal and then a few tackles later, Nathan kicks, bounces, bounces,

876
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: a lucky bounced get it and they go through and

877
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: you go, oh that's luck. Yeah, but you make your

878
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: own luck.

879
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

880
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: That's a perfect example of a bloke that has just

881
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: done in this incredible play and got out there the

882
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: effort and suddenly you get lucky.

883
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: But had a mix ye, I thought he had a

884
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: bit of a mixnight They went after him a lot

885
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: in the air Force. Couple of errors but yeah, that

886
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: moment was a very key moment. You see why Ivan

887
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: picked him now.

888
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: Two blokes off the bench for Penrith to deserve great praise.

889
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: Luke Garner I thought it was great when he come on.

890
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: But Liam Henry, I think Liam Henry's best game as

891
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: an NRLE player. He come off off the bench. He

892
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: gave him an enormous lyft.

893
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah Papalii was really good too.

894
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: He's my back defense player. Oh was he ye in

895
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: those conditions in the wet, in the wet, tricky conditions,

896
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: which was a grind and the Warriors really wanted them

897
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: with physicality. I thought he was fantastic.

898
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ice I baby shout out to him. Mine was

899
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: Nathan clear If just for reinforce what I said before.

900
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: I think in big games, kicking games and kicking threats

901
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: where you turn him over, that's the most important thing.

902
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: And he played so simple built pressure. It was good

903
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: to see the old people actually going for repeat sets

904
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: and probably getting rewarded for it. Ever since the short

905
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: dropouts coming to the game, people don't really go They

906
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: all go for attacking kicks to try to go for

907
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: a try because you don't really get rewarded for repeat

908
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: sets these days, because everyone's good at getting the ball

909
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: back off a short dropout. But yeah, I thought Nathan

910
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: did an unbelievable job. Now to the Friday night Oh yeah.

911
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 3: Sorry, ask is the back fence player is inspired by

912
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: our man Bruis.

913
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, yeah, I wanted to say it, but

914
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, you know, let's we'll just

915
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: let the listeners may piece it together. Probably not, but yeah,

916
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: shout out to Bruises.

917
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: And also I have a shout out to my major

00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: brew Yeah hey, true Blue Yeah, yeah, Bruiser. This was

928
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: his bib Bruiser. But I also I look at the

929
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: back fence player because back back being a back fence.

930
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: You don't need to be an NRL player just to

931
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: be back fence. I look at the people who absolutely

932
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: obliterate themselves dad, like you on the piece on the weekend. Yeah,

933
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: and then they wind up on the back fence on

934
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: a Monday morning and just get after their week And

935
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of our listeners. A lot

936
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: of our listeners listening to this in the car right now.

937
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: They've had thirty schooners over the weekend. They're driving, they drive,

938
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: they're driving, but like it's out of their system. But

939
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: they're driving into work right now thinking how am I

940
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: going to get through this? And they are just winding

941
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: up off the back fence, trying to get to Friday.

942
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 2: People, just trust me on this. Oftentimes on a Friday Saturday,

943
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 2: we've got a big Sunday night show coming up, certainly

944
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: in finals. You know, going to take it easy this week.

945
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: But guess what I never do and you never will,

946
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: never will Storm versus Bulldogs Friday night footy.

947
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: And it was entertaining game coupe, second verse, third really

948
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. But both sides, including your Melbourne Storm, I

949
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: got to pick up significantly if they're going to win

950
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: this title, I could.

951
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: Not agree more. I looked at this side, I mean

952
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: the game. Sorry, and Melbourne have always been going to

953
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: just grinding wins out even when they're not necessarily playing well.

954
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: But I think this time of the year, I think

955
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: they'd be really disappointed in not playing. They're not playing

956
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: their best football in five finals. They pride themselves on

957
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: wanting to go into the game and not beating themselves

958
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: and not get if you play good, the only way

959
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: you're getting beat is by the other team playing better.

960
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: This game, I thought both sides both played quite average.

961
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: A lot of errors gave the opportunity to the other

962
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: side to actually take it with both hands. No side

963
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: really grabbed it by the horns. Yeah, I think Melbourne

964
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: at will have a lot to review this week.

965
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: Last week, I've never seen Belly out lock this at

966
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 2: this time of the year.

967
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: Like even.

968
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 2: Even after the game in the press conference, I'm trying

969
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: to find the right word, it was still almost like

970
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: a bit of a softness to him, like you know,

971
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: he's usually he's got that hard edge. As part of me,

972
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: I was watching him going with no Jerome perhaps wasn't

973
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: playing the other day, but there's no Nelson Is he

974
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: sort of resigned? Is he sort of looking going, mate?

975
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: If we piece this title, well, like, I don't know,

976
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: maybe just reading the completely wrong. I just haven't seen

977
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: him like this at this time of the year. Ever.

978
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think so. I don't

979
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: think at all he'd be thinking like that because they've

980
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: got the troops and they proved it the other night

981
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: with pasit how good Jonah was and wish you when

982
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: he come off the bench. We said that they were

983
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: probably going to swap them. But I think without perhaps

984
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: without Hughsy, they can definitely still win this competition. And

985
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: I think No One Belly and how he is day

986
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: to day, maybe he's a little bit worn down from

987
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: the year and it's disguising itself as softness, but he

988
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: he'll be giving it to him and driving them very

989
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: hard this week, I guarantee you.

990
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: Early in their game, and I would say, basically the

991
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: first half, Storm really dominated yardage early on, mate, They

992
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: were just punch them through all the time, and I

993
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: was going, holy, do look at this yet at halftime

994
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: the school was eight six and that flat of the dogs,

995
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: but it was it was it was a reward to

996
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: the dogs. For their their defense and their quarter is

997
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 2: very good. Like they missed some tackles to the game.

998
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: But once they you know, once a team starts to

999
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: attack their line, you know they are good. I mean,

1000
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: errors are really hurting them. I mean, I don't want

1001
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: to sound boring. You're talking about errors. I got to

1002
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 2: stop making errors. Well, thanks god, but they're really hurting them.

1003
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: And dogs are going Dogs have a very good defense,

1004
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: structural structural defense, but the amount of errors they're making,

1005
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: even their excellent defense can't absorb them. And that's if

1006
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: they can just eliminate a lot of these unforced errors.

1007
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 2: My god, they're going to find a big difference in

1008
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 2: their game. The storm first try, I'll say this, you

1009
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: know one I said, this defense structurally was good. This one.

1010
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: They really went at Lucky Galvin a few times. And

1011
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: that first try come about. And if you go and

1012
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: watch the people, this is really interesting. Now. One of

1013
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: the golden rules of defense is that you do not slide.

1014
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 2: You don't slide outward until the ball goes past you.

1015
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: That is a golden rule of defense. And what they

1016
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: do is the ball goes across the munster and he

1017
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: got Joe Chan who is flying on an in straight

1018
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: line on the inside shoulder of Locky Galvin. Now get

1019
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: Lockey in his mind. You can see he wants to

1020
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: slide out. He's trying to protect the potential three on

1021
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: two on the outside and he's holding, he's holding, he's holding,

1022
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Months just delays the

1023
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: pass a quarter of a second and Locke loses his

1024
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: nerve and slides and Chain goes straight through straight heylikt

1025
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: he went straight through. They got tackled there. Then Jonah

1026
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: threw the ball to Eli Katoa, who's scored. But the

1027
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 2: pebble in the pond was pebble and the problem with

1028
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: the Joe Chan with Lockey just holding and that's just inexperience,

1029
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: like he's still a young guy. But hold, hold, hold,

1030
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna slide. And that just beautiful little delay

1031
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: from Munster and just goes, just goes straight.

1032
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: That's what it's. It's it's your train. It so hard

1033
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: and you try to get yourself in that mindset of

1034
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: don't slide, don't you gotta protect your side shoulder, don't

1035
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: take a dummy. But when you got camera monster and

1036
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: they have shapes around you, it's very hard. But I

1037
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 1: agree with you. And you know what I loved about

1038
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: having a look at if you go back and have

1039
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: a look at the highlights of a lot of Melbourne's tries,

1040
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: and we said, how in big games you don't you don't.

1041
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: It's not the big players that actually score the tries.

1042
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's good kicks for your attacking threats, or getting

1043
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: quick play the balls and playing that. You saw the

1044
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: quick play the balls that Melbourne were able to create

1045
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: with Harry Grant coming back into the side three of

1046
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: their key tries that that like the one you just said,

1047
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: car toa. They get the quick play the ball through

1048
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: Joe Chan They go one pass, two pass, nothing actually doing.

1049
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: They kind of just found Katoa and because it was

1050
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: such a quick playaball, they slid and Ellie went straight

1051
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: through and scored the And then later that first half

1052
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: Lasarti scores on the short side where they get a

1053
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: quick play the ball monster goes down little short ball

1054
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: Loasardi scores and then in that second half the real

1055
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: game breaking try Stefano, Harry gets out, drop Stefano off,

1056
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: he gets an off to Harry Wishy, the contortionists who

1057
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: just come on fresh legs, just punches a hole using

1058
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: his foot instincts, drops whatever they've got. He just punches

1059
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: a hole off Harry kick out hits him with everything.

1060
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: He ends up scoring. Like those three tries. Very simple things,

1061
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: but they are playing off the back of a quick

1062
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: playable really leans in the Melbourne hand that one with.

1063
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 2: Months to gun up the short side in that at

1064
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: instance there coop it made by everyone doing their job well.

1065
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: Made it look easy. Harry just taking a step forward

1066
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 2: and getting months to pass the market depth Munster identifying

1067
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: his target defender and pulling him out of shape, and

1068
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 2: his ball and his whole runner just hitting the right

1069
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: half of the hole at the right time.

1070
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: It was good. It was a good coach. Very simple,

1071
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: very old school coaching rules, but they did it well.

1072
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 2: A couple of big moments in the game which I'm

1073
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: going to talk about the second try in the Dogs

1074
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: in a minute. Remind me that if I forget as

1075
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: you get to a certain age and you.

1076
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: Get tied, that's what drinking does.

1077
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. The introduction of TB Sexton bottom of

1078
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: the field, Yeah, and look it they looked a different

1079
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: side when he came on and Galvin went to his

1080
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: natural role at six. They just looked a better side.

1081
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: Burton I thought played very good at left center. We'll

1082
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 2: save what we think is going to happen this week

1083
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: for the preview. Wants some stuff to talk about there.

1084
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: But in my opinion, Sexton is in a little bit

1085
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: of doubt. They're saying it's a it's a sternum or

1086
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: like a shoulder. Yeah, so I don't know where where

1087
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 2: is that. He'd expect him to play Crichton and Tuala

1088
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: highly up got a break. He won't play Crichton. Yeah,

1089
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 2: I've seen reports streamed out.

1090
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: They say Liz Frank at one point, which is you

1091
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: don't play with I don't know.

1092
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 2: They said if they if they get through this game,

1093
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 2: he's a chance the next week, but he'd be extreme doubt.

1094
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that. I want to talk

1095
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: about the second try firstly. I want to talk about it.

1096
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that first try where it

1097
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 2: was Sexton's first touch of the wall. He went on

1098
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: what they did there. They did something there that they

1099
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: didn't do nearly enough in the game, and that was

1100
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: isolate Villi Army kickout with Jonah j Peas like Jonah

1101
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 2: Jonah's an edge defender. You're noticed like, mate, you've got

1102
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: kickouts big, it's got footwork. Yeah, And they hit him

1103
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: there and he went over and did that thing, did

1104
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 2: a pass which bounce off and he got like, that's

1105
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 2: that's the drama he can cause. He once in the

1106
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 2: second half they did a shot shot, they went down

1107
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: one side, went one to three passes to kick out

1108
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 2: again and he got the ball off to Burton who

1109
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 2: scored again. The press the presence of kick out, they

1110
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 2: didn't do that enough. They played two match set up

1111
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 2: football against an enthusiastic defense like Melbourne, you take him

1112
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: to an edge to gather numbers and you hit him

1113
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 2: out of the fast side. That is that is a

1114
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 2: very very strong principle against good defensive sides. But you

1115
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: just said something before, you said about when you look

1116
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 2: at tries at this time of the year, where they

1117
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: stem from, and guys just doing simple things right the

1118
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 2: second try once you're going to have some people right.

1119
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: And this just shows you the importance of plays two

1120
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 2: and three. Now they're doing a yard set at the

1121
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: time the Bulldogs and at the time they're struggling to

1122
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 2: get for a little bit. But on this what leads

1123
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 2: to this try is this and again a little thing

1124
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 2: that makes an enormous difference, and it's Jacob Kraz right

1125
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: coop Jack. Jacob Kraz gets the ball and he just

1126
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: straightens behind the ruck and he punches half through, not

1127
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: a bit and it didn't make a break. But he

1128
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: punches through, gets his body through the line, gets up,

1129
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: plays the ball quick. He makes about twelve meters. What

1130
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: happens there still Tupennur, who by the way, my god,

1131
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: what a player. He gets on the back of that

1132
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: and he goes bang. He takes twelve meters. Now what

1133
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: happens in that instance the playmakers, if the dogs suddenly

1134
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 2: go from saying, oh mate, we're going to kick ourselves

1135
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 2: out of trouble, to going mate, let's put an attacking

1136
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 2: kick in. They put an attacking kick in Tabe sexton

1137
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 2: and Nick Mooney drops the ball. They get scrum fooed.

1138
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: In that set of six they score. Jacob Kraz scores.

1139
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 2: The right side is a double Karraz, but he starts

1140
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: at two or three minutes earlier. By simply getting forward,

1141
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 2: getting on his front and playing the ball quick. The

1142
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 2: most basic, simple fundamental at the start of a set

1143
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: led to a try that happened two or three minutes later.

1144
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 2: That is just the importance, the importance of those basic

1145
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 2: principles on getting forward and plays one, two and three.

1146
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 2: And if you look at Penrith, one of the cornerstones

1147
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: of their success in the last five years has been

1148
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 2: to getting forward on early tackles and Edward's dominating that

1149
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 2: yard each.

1150
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: It's a snowball effect and it's that hard. It's hard

1151
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: enough to try to make a dominant tackle and get

1152
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: someone on their back on a slow play the ball

1153
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: when it's a big blow. When Karaz and get quick

1154
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: play the balls for whatever team they it's so hard

1155
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: as a defense when you're on the back foot to

1156
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: try to win the tackle. It just continues to snowball

1157
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: right into the fifth tackle.

1158
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: Well, we know that the Broncos. Magal sort of rests

1159
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 2: this his team up this week. Got the week off Melbourne.

1160
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 2: What do you think Melbourne will do.

1161
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: They had a beer on they knew that they had

1162
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: a beer on the weekend. They'll they'll get some time off.

1163
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: I imagine there's a few boys this time of the

1164
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: oar car and some niggles and whatnot, So I imagine

1165
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: that they'll probably train during the week, try to get

1166
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: the weekend off potentially, maybe like a Friday Saturday.

1167
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 2: Just a special mention when I'm mad. I was going

1168
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: to ask you about Mounster's ankle, but shout out to Munster.

1169
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 2: I thought his second half was phenomenal.

1170
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:26,479
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

1171
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't a typical Monster performance. In the fact that

1172
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 2: I found a lot cop Munster was doing a lot

1173
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: of half field plays, which I don't think suits Munster

1174
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: quite as much. In the fact that when he wants

1175
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 2: to run the ball from a half field position, the gaps,

1176
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 2: you're not spreading the defense and they can sort of

1177
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: umbrella him a little bit and sort of place him

1178
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 2: in a phone box. If I'm Monster, well, if I'm really,

1179
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling Monster, hey, listen, if you're looking to run

1180
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 2: the football, have a bit of impact with your running game.

1181
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: Let's work the ball past the far post and catch

1182
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 2: the ball with a little bit more width. Okay, first receiver,

1183
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: but outside the second or third defenders so they can't

1184
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 2: outside in you. Yeah, it'll make them defend passively, and

1185
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 2: that's all Monster needs. But his second half was so

1186
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: gutsy he just kept taking it up.

1187
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: When he went to fullback, I love one run against

1188
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: the full back and he doesn't have to organize. He

1189
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: gets in. He takes those most fullbacks take the last

1190
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: carry before the kick so that they can get a

1191
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: full kick. Chase line in the kick, and then the

1192
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: fullback's already back there. He just runs back when he

1193
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: was in there trying to get a quick playable there.

1194
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: He looks so dangerous a couple of times, just making

1195
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 1: people miss. I'd love to see him bring more of

1196
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: that to his five eight game, because I felt like

1197
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: there was a lot of he was trying to organize

1198
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that first half and he couldn't

1199
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: get his game on.

1200
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 2: Jack found something today which we might use going forward.

1201
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: Jack tell us what this might or might not be

1202
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: interesting interesting sometime in the next couple of weeks when

1203
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 2: we prove you and review, Jack coops what you found today?

1204
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the camera's already gone, so that's a great

1205
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 3: start to the camera. Sorry, guys, having main sponsor.

1206
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: What I found was my.

1207
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 3: Old algebra Brook algebra book and papers from my HC.

1208
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 3: I was doing Pythagoras theorem, and then on the back

1209
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: of it is Dad's entire game plan for the one

1210
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 3: six to seven model for the twenty seventeen Melbourne storm

1211
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 3: side with all his notes, and he wrote down quotes

1212
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 3: that he had with Kray during the twenty sixteen season

1213
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 3: and how he yeah and how he needed to change

1214
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 3: things up, and then it talked about it had like

1215
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 3: quotes in it. I've got Pythagoras theorem on the other side,

1216
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 3: and then on the.

1217
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 2: Other side stuff on the other side.

1218
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 3: It literally says like in quotations like has Cooper will

1219
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 3: run the show. He has the full stick of it,

1220
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 3: and then Cameron and Billy, Billy has the say, but

1221
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 3: they'll swap rolls on Billy's mark and it's pretty crazy.

1222
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: So we can pull that out and we'll read through

1223
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: some of it, and I'll talk about that principle, which

1224
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 2: my principal was one two three football. So we'll talk

1225
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: about that a lot.

1226
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: We'll do and we'll frame it and we'll auction it

1227
00:57:58,920 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: off to our listener.

1228
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 2: But not want that, No, I.

1229
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: Don't know, but minimum bid twenty grand because that shit's

1230
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: important and it wins premierships. Back fence our back fans

1231
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: player for this game. Now, I got two blogs I

1232
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: want to shout out here. This is more of a

1233
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: feel good one Sex Toby Sexton. I think I actually

1234
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: think he was probably I think Kickout was amazing for them,

1235
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: but I think Toby was the real game breaker for that.

1236
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: They looked a different side when he came on, So

1237
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: I think he was one of their best players out there.

1238
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: But reward for effort during the year, had a tough

1239
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: time getting dropped the media scrutiny everything that he's gone

1240
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,919
Speaker 1: through this year, and a week is a long time

1241
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: something as a player that you get told when you're

1242
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: going in and out of reserve grade is just hanging

1243
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: in there. A week's a long time. It can be

1244
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: easier said than done to just hang in there. Sometimes

1245
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: you think he's so far away. Toby wouldn't have thought.

1246
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: He probably would have been in this position six weeks ago,

1247
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: gets a call up off the bench, goes into the

1248
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: side when who got who got hurt? Crichton, Crichton gets

1249
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: hurt and then he's one of their best players out there.

1250
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: So shout out to Toby. He could you know, you

1251
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: know who knows where he's going to be through. It

1252
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: could be winning a Grand Final, and.

1253
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: Good on him for the class he showed during times

1254
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: when a lot of most people thought he has been dubted. Yeah,

1255
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: the fact that he didn't drop his card, and you

1256
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: can see his teammates when he scored that try and

1257
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 2: the Bulldog's crowd.

1258
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: And it looked like Cam serroud. I saw him do

1259
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: an interview before the game. He praised he said, he's

1260
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's worked so hard. He's been playing hooker

1261
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: in cut as a kid. And another shout out William

1262
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: Wilbrick fantasy start of this year, he got hurt in

1263
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: the trials, played round one. Brick, he didn't even think

1264
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: he was going to potentially come back this year, let alone.

1265
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: There was a period there he didn't even know if

1266
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: he'd ever come back and play rugby league. So you know,

1267
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: had a had a pretty bad Yeah, it's pretty bad.

1268
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: Had difficult start to the game, but finished so strong.

1269
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: Second half was and I thought he was so so

1270
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: physical and then he obviously had the nail in the

1271
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: coffin getting the intercept and go one hundred meters.

1272
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 2: So shout out to Willie, Well done, will mine until

1273
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to go on losing, so I'm going to

1274
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how I'm impressed. I remember that

1275
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: guy in the last since he's come back from injury.

1276
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 2: He's a powerhouse. He's going he's a great player. From

Speaker 1: best buys of the year and they both left the

1280
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,000
