1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Big wire billing. We're going to first grade mate. 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Actually should be prong on top automatic actually. 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: A coops. It's a big some big things to talk 4 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: about Dylan Brown situation, some of the poor performances of 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: course a week, but first at least talk about tactically 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Well, it's not tactically but simple. There's magic 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: in sweat. He worked them to the bone in the 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: off season. There's been criticism that's over the top. But 9 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: when you saw them in the trial game, they looked 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: rock hard fit. They are ready to go. And just 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: the way they moved across the field when you're fitter 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,319 Speaker 1: and you know you're a big guy, and if you've 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: lost a few kolos seem how much better their movement was, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: in their footwork, their defensive energy, everything. 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I find the commentrary really hard about Margeres training 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: the Broncos too hot, Like, does anyone ever questioned what 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: Ivan clearly has done with pen Does anyone have a 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: questioned Craig Bellamy's army camp that he does every year. 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: No, there's a reason why you train. 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: To the red line so you know your players can 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: touch it without going over it. And then when you 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: come to the seventy eighth minute of a big game, 23 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: you are redlining. So you need to build up resilience. 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what the good teams do. One thing 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: I will say about the Broncos is sign of a 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: good coach is when you take average players to. 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: Good, yes, good to great and great to elite. 28 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: Corey Paks has been terrific and then the other end 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: of the scale, paint Ass was tremendous, Like. 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 3: Every time he touched the ball he did something. Paint us, 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 3: He's got he's gotten better. 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: I listened to some comments going into the game ours 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: before the game, and they're like Pakes the starting line, Heatherington, 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: you know what's he doing? But just the evidence some 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: of these were players they were going to let go. 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: And like you said, Pakes was, yeah, just how strong 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: he looked physically. Same with Kobe Heatherans to look far 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: more athletic and Shiit of Saki. He's an example. And 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: he said before like Payn Haass has just elevated himself 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: to another level. He was unstoppable. But the unbloke Zadier 41 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: Willison coming off the bench like you look at like 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: he looks really really good, is a sort of feel 43 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: about Nelson suffer solomonia about it coming off with impact. 44 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: They look fantastic and there's nothing tinty about what they 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: what they do. It's all calculated, good hard work. 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: And it was forty minutes in the preseason against the 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: Dogs was enough to show that they had something there 48 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: and that combination of Adam Reynolds and Ben Haunt is 49 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: going to be a very very good thing. Like Ezra 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: Maam like, I wouldn't. 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: Move Ben Hunt. 52 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: I don't care what Ezra ma'am does from here on out. 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: Ben Hunt is my five eight for the rest. 54 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 3: Of the year. 55 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: One the cultural peace right with what Ezra went through. 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: But two I think with the talent the Broncos have 57 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: stags Cobbo Walsh, payinhas Carrigan. Adam Reynolds in twenty twenty 58 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: three got a lot of things right to control that 59 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: team in terms of all the decision making, and to 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: be fair, he made a couple of decisions the back 61 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: end of that Grand Final that played a part in 62 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: them losing. Right now, with Ben Hunt, thirty four years 63 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: of age, having done what he's done, I like that 64 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: there's two guys either side of the field that are 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: very good at making decisions. Their composure is great, so 66 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: you can let Walsh out on a rain a little bit, 67 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: but then one of them can pull them pulling back 68 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: in on that side. So I like what Ben Huni 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: did little short side down against the Roofs. 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: There's a three on two executed. 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: So he's gone from being a first receiver halfback dominating 72 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: the Dragons, touching the ball a thousand times to basically 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,559 Speaker 2: picking his moments on the left hand side and complimenting 74 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: what Adam Reynolds and Riss Walsh have. Like, I think 75 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: it's very good against the Roosters and doesn't matter for 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: me what Ezra man does. 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: Ben Hant stays there coops. 78 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: That's the thing. If you've got one experienced playmaker in 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: your side, it's a god send. You see the difference 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: that made to the Broncos when Adam Reynolds went there 81 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: to that young Ford path that was so good but 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: did never steering. Will he arrives and have two now 83 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: in the field and on Ezra. Ezra is going to 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: give Madge flexibility. He can plain Ford Hune. The other 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: thing you can do as well is is like one 86 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: thing about Adam and Ben they're not spring chickens. There's 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: going to be tying through the year that they need 88 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: they need a break is going to give him the 89 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: ability to just rotate the spine a little bit, which 90 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: is going to be invaluable and time they're runs. 91 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: For the two thirty four year olds to play their 92 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: best foot in the back. And that's the role Ezra 93 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: Man would play after what I've seen from that and. 94 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: You just touched on it there. Like playing short sides, 95 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: you know a side has had very good off season, 96 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: not just in training but planning, getting getting down path 97 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: out their structure and the science of their game and 98 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: how they're going to do things when they play short sides. 99 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: So well, there's the subtleties jumping out the open, switching 100 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: back to get rid of the markers, and. 101 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: Just a little difference between playing halfback and five eight. 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: The halfback is sort of really sort of got the 103 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: blinkers on. There's a lot of eyes down the middle 104 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: of the field about what he can do running the ball. 105 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: Or a short part. 106 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: When you're a second receiver five eight, your eyes are 107 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: a little bit more wider looking at options for the 108 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: outside right. So what Ben Hunt's brought to his game 109 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: now is that he can actually start looking a bit 110 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: further afield, looking for rees, looking for wingers, and he's 111 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: coming up with plays. 112 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Well, let's say talking about sixes and sevens. Later, we're 113 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: going to talk at the difference between both. We're going 114 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: to talk about Dylan Brown a little later. 115 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: But Jerome Lewe so a lot of hope for the 116 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: Tigers and at the game on the weekend, before the 117 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: nights before the game, like, there was a lot of 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: excitement around what Jerome could do. When you play five eight, 119 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: you might touch the ball, let's say forty times a game. 120 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: When you play half back touched the ball closer to 121 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: sixty times a game. 122 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: That's twenty more decisions that Jerome has to make. 123 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: And when you're half back, yes you got to set 124 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: up tries, Yes you got to score, You've got to 125 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: do all these things. 126 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: But how can you win a game when you don't 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: have the ball as a half back. 128 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 2: So at the Panthers, they were the best defensive team, 129 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: one of the best completion rates, and their run meters 130 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: through their forward pack of back three got them basically 131 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: over halfway majority of their time. 132 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: At the Tigers, he doesn't have that. 133 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: They're the worst defensive team from last year, discipline, paul, 134 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: all those things. So he's going to be let's say, 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty meters away from where he normally kicked 136 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: the ball to where he will be for the Tigers. 137 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: And in the fiftieth minute, leading eight tonil, Jerome Lewie 138 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: puts up a kick which he might have done four 139 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: or five times with Nathan. Now he's kicking the ball 140 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: let's say ten to fifteen times more. Plus he's put 141 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: a kick in seven tackle set, Calen Bonger catches it back, 142 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: Knights go down the other end, score a try eight 143 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: to six. 144 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: They lose ten's too long by inches. 145 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: Inches and that twenty more decisions that Jerome has to 146 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: make is going to play an impact when they're not 147 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 2: defending well, when they're making errors, when their discipline's poor. 148 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: So Jerome can play. We've seen that he can dominate. 149 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: What he did last year was arguab his best year 150 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: of Yeah, I think, But when you're a half back 151 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: of a team from the bottom of the ladder, how 152 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: can you win a game without touching the ball? How 153 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: can you drive consistency in all those other areas? And 154 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: Benji's got a part to playing this about improving that 155 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: defense and discipline and all that. But there's a lot 156 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: of more challenges for Jerome obviously, But that's a bit 157 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: of the halfback verse five eight mentality. 158 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what's going to help him enormously is happy chorus. 159 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: How come back in the site? You know, like on 160 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: the weekend one of their main direct focal points in 161 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: that middle of the field was missing. That put a 162 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: lot more pressure on Jerome on top of all the 163 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: responsibility's got anyway Buller coming back in the site, So 164 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: I want to getting that year is I just see 165 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: so much upside for this Tiger side. Now, I thought 166 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: their defense on the weekend was was fantastic. Now they 167 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: missed fifty five tackles, but that's yeah, statsa means to 168 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: an end. You can miss fifty five tackles. A lot 169 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: of it's scrambling. 170 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: Defense lost a lot of tackles last year. 171 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: Miss tackles aren't miss tackles, you know what I mean. 172 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: You know, you can miss a lot of tackles. But 173 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: it's yeah, and I. 174 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: Agree, I think I like the energy that's around are 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: the Tigers. But there's just a couple of other things 176 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: that to me after the weekend that says, hey, Jerome, 177 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: like you are a good player, but if you want 178 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: to be that dominant half back and lift the Tigers 179 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: from where they are to potential finals, then there's a 180 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 2: few things that have to be taken consideration. 181 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: Is it a cage or bastard made like so, he's 182 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: coach the Dolphins last couple of years and he knows 183 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: his players inside out, and what he did the other 184 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: night he ran a standard shape at Herbie Farnworth every time, 185 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: and every time he ran it he went and obviously 186 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: the talk between young Katoe and Herbie wasn't that good. 187 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: But right at the last second Herbie couldn't help himself, 188 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: lost his nerve and turned in like that's Wayne coaching. 189 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: He just knew, you know, inside out, how Herbie would 190 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: react under pressure and that certain shape and just very 191 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: very clever coaching. And blokes tell me it's funny we 192 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: always look at Wayne and go eye. He's a man manager, 193 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: that's what he does. But blokes do a coach by 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: him and they say he has very good, great attention 195 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: to detail as far as attacking shapes. It's just it 196 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: doesn't be note himself about it. 197 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: But he's also got that ability to use someone's strength 198 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: and weakness against them, right, as history shows Herbie Farwerth. 199 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: But on the flip side, the ballplane of Cody Walker. 200 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: Give Cody Walker a cute defensively, and he will tear 201 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: you apart when he's got his when he's styled in. 202 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: And the other one was manly. What do you think 203 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: of Manly on the weekend? 204 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: Mainly were fantastic, but it was a manly type of 205 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 1: game in terms of it like manly. My knock on 206 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Manly is this right? Is that they have no breaks 207 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: their bang bang bang attack. It's just relentless and on 208 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: the weekend, like all of it's stuck. And they found 209 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: themselves on a blink of I thirty points clear, and 210 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: so they just kept rolling and rolling and rolling and 211 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: against an opposition which allowed them play that sort of football. Now, 212 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: why knock on Manly? Sys coups is so often when 213 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: I think of Mainly, I think of dry Sunday afternoon 214 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: noon football that I'll watch them in the first twenty 215 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: minutes and they're going whack bang, wham wham, They're going 216 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: to win this game by thirty points. But then invariably 217 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: when little bit of fatigue comes in and all of 218 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: a sudden errors come into the game. Is they let 219 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: the opposition back in. They have inconsistencies week to week, 220 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: but they have inconsistencies which sit in the game, and 221 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: I want to see them win a game coop against 222 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: an elite team where things aren't going their way, when 223 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the ball's not sticking and they've got to defend their 224 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: way to victory. 225 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're outside backs and the halves and their 226 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: billy to score points is up there against most other teams. 227 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: The big question mark from last year and lead into 228 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: this year for Manly is can their forward pack dominate 229 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: and can they defend for long periods of time against 230 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: the best attacking teams. What I saw from Prosecca and 231 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: Ola Calato, we didn't see that defense because Cowboys it 232 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: was a no show basically, But what I saw from 233 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: Prosecca and Ola Calat, it looks like their forward pack's 234 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: got some arrogance and swagger about it, which is going 235 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: to complement Cherry Evans and Turbo and their billy right 236 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: and just looking at their game, Jerry Evans just turned 237 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 2: thirty six and you can go out a bit of 238 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: a limbir They've got five of their first seven games 239 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: at home. They are lightning quick at home, particularly on 240 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: a dry track. As we said, they could be on 241 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: the top of the ladder after eight weeks. Jerry Evans 242 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: hasn't decided what he's going to do for Origin and 243 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: Rep football. Just turned thirty six. I think he's going 244 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: to see himself in six or eight weeks time and go, 245 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: you know what, this is my best chance winning a comp. 246 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: And he might just pull the trigger on Rep footy 247 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: and go, you know what, I'm on slipstreaming here. I've 248 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: got to Travoivic out of the back. Luke Brooks is 249 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: energetic of forward. Pack's going well and a lot of 250 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: things have to fall into place. I'm not saying they're 251 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: going to win it, but I'm just saying, Cherry, this 252 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: might force him into thinking, you know what, was it 253 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: playing Grand File in twenty thirteen was his last one? Yeah, 254 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: maybe one or two prelims outside of that. He's never 255 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: really gotten close for ten years, so. 256 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: This is this is his go. He just might pull 257 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: the pin and focus on it because. 258 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: At thirty six years of age is a half back 259 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: playing for thirty weeks plus origin. Now the fuel tank 260 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: will get low. So maybe he's just double down and 261 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: it's he's still playing very good. 262 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: Yeah he has. It's gonna be test for Anthony Soubold 263 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: this too, Coops, because if what you say happens where 264 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: they're top of the table. So this has got a 265 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: propensity to overshare. That makes sense, you know what I mean, 266 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: It's going to be important they when things are flying, 267 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: it's Cooper lid on it. 268 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: I haven't looked at their draw but whoever they play 269 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: at home, out those five or seven five seven, and 270 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:22,239 Speaker 2: they're a chance of bend every one of them. 271 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: I'll ask your question here. I post this to the 272 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: boys last night on the on the shower. So box A, 273 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: box B. Right in box A, you've got Penrith, the 274 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Melbourne Storm. The rest of the competition 275 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: is in boxbury. What price do you give either. 276 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: I'm taking box those guys Storm, Penrith what they did 277 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: in Vegas, and the Broncos like they are top line betting. 278 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: I'm doubling down on them. Everyone else is chasing sports. 279 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: But dollar fifty five box A, which I think is 280 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: actually quite generous, but lower than that. Yeah, well, in 281 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: boxby the two sides the two wild cars, but they're 282 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: still could elevate themselves. 283 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: Is me shark? 284 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: The other two are some of the things the Dogs 285 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, I'm under estimating the Dogs, which. 286 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: I don't think they've got the attacking flare to beat 287 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: those teams. 288 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, but defensively they can keep it close. 289 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: That was a terrific game like that was That was 290 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: a game that I thought had upset written all over it. 291 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: Dragons at home full house point to prove new players, 292 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: but Dogs got it done. 293 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: About the Dogs, So my question mark for them lead 294 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: into this year was soroldose defensive system is proven. He's 295 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: gone character over talent as such, because he wants people 296 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: who can defend and move and make defensive decisions and 297 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: all that stuff. And when you go from the worst 298 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: defensive team to one of the best takes a lot 299 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: of effort and heart. And I was wondering whether Reed Marni, 300 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: kick out Crichton, Connor Tracy could go again defensive Yeah, 301 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: and I think that again. 302 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: I saw that on the weekend. 303 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: Their attack is not near some of those gun teams, 304 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: but their defense holds up. 305 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: It's a lot of discipline, you know, coops the year 306 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: before to have not a lot of expectation on you, 307 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: and you've got a point to because it comes down 308 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: here comes into the individual competed to this year where 309 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: the expectation as well, you've got to reach the second 310 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: week of the finals. Let's progress when it's so hard 311 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: to part the course to say what he did last year? 312 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: So we spoke manly, spoke dogs. What about sharks on 313 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: that second? 314 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: I want to see I want to see more from 315 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: more from the Sharkies in that. When I watched the 316 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: side coops right and I watch them for the first 317 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: time for the year trial game round one. I don't 318 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: want to see a team who's picked up where they 319 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: left off. I want to see a team and go, wow, 320 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: look that they've worked on there. There's different aspects of 321 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: their game. For me, Cronulla is they just can't rely 322 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: on the elevation that Adam field Bay is going to 323 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: give them. I just want to see some different things 324 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: for us because we're Harves. We saw it half by. 325 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: I want to see some different attacking shapes. I want 326 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: to see Trendle and Nicico just approached the defense a 327 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: little bit differently. They've got themselves into an algorithm of 328 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: forty five degrees to find their target defender. I just 329 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: want to see a little bit, a little bit of 330 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: something different from the Sharks capable of winning it. They've 331 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: got They've got the Blaker with the buye of the 332 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: Year Vanilla. Blake's just a machine. But I just want 333 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: to see a little bit more from well. 334 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: I think the little point of difference for them to 335 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: use is Brayley. I think Brayley if he can become 336 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: you know, he had a really good year last year. 337 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: But if he becomes like a Harry Grand equivalent of 338 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: like really creative when there's chaos, and use someone like 339 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: Adam Fanil Blake straight close to the line, that could 340 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: be ten tries right there. 341 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: We'll see Coops, can they win the comp? Yes, they 342 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: can more than capable of winning it. And round one 343 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: was a good performance of very good performance, but Coops, 344 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: they got beat by Penris. And when the game was 345 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: on the line, when you're going to blink, who's going 346 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: to win it? They gotta beat by Penis. When there's 347 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: really vital moments where you're going to win, you're going 348 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: to lose. It's not about it was a very good 349 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: performance is you're lost. They've got to start nailing those games. 350 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: You marry up attack and defense and they probably meet 351 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: Penrith and Melbourne. But when it comes to blinking, yeah, Storm. 352 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: And let's do some straight talking. 353 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: What you got. 354 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: People always start these things by saying, this is not 355 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: a criticism, and this is not a criticism. This is 356 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: just facts, straight talking, but straight talk. But this is 357 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: just a fact. Is that Dylan is a six. We've 358 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: already spoken about the difference between six and the seven. Right, 359 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: Dylan can impact a game heavily. He can have a 360 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: big impact on a game. But to do that, he 361 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: needs someone alongside him to control the game. That's what 362 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: he needs. Dylan is an explosive player. He impacts the 363 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: game through moments. He's not a seven. He's a six. 364 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: Dylan's game is the game of a deputy. Like you 365 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: know which most sixers are. They are deputies the moment. 366 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: He's a reactive player. He's a deputy. He's a pure six. 367 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: Hell of a six, very good six, but he ain't 368 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: a seven. 369 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: Yep. 370 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: So go back and listen to what we spoke about 371 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: with Jerome Lui. The forty touches to sixty, the decision making. 372 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: Every decision has consequences. When you're half back, kick the 373 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: ball three times, Now, all of a sudden, I have 374 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: to kick it fifteen times a game. The one thing 375 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 2: I will say is I was disappointed in what Dylan 376 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: Brown delivered when Mitchell Moses. 377 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 3: Was out last year. 378 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: We've said this before that when a five mate as 379 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: their main man go down, sometimes it's really good learning 380 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: and development for you to go whar the seven and 381 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: find out what it takes in eighty minutes and during 382 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: the week to say, oh, that's what Mitch does through 383 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: the week. Oh that's what Nathan does. Oh that actually 384 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 2: when I go back to six, I'm going to bring 385 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: that to my game. And he moved halfback and didn't 386 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: really do too much. 387 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: And like, look, I don't blame him fierce like yesterday, 388 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm still been last year when there. 389 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: Was that window where he moved his half back. 390 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: As someone that loves watching doing Brown play, I thought, 391 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: you know, this is a chance, this is actually going 392 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: to elevate his five eight play understanding what Mitch goes 393 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: through every week. 394 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: But it just didn't have that impact. 395 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: And yesterday, like we said, I really felt you don't 396 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: understand I said this in the show Last Tight. I 397 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: don want to sound condescending. I really felt for that 398 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: a lot of those young Paramittal players yesterday to go 399 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: out there in again, they hadn't been exposed to a 400 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: game like that against the Melbourne Storm, dry sound afternoon. 401 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: They're in the mood to play, and you could just 402 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: see that was shell shocked. Their eyes were rolled on 403 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: the back of their heads. And I can totally understand why. 404 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: If I'm Jason Ryles like, it's obviously a bad stuff, 405 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: But I don't mind that. There's the benchmark. We just 406 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: sit here if we want to get to where Melbourne are. 407 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: These are the things we have to do. One defend 408 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: like your life depends on it. For every minute, every game, 409 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: every tackle counts. You've got to be prepared. You've got 410 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: to get ready at you know, in the morning, on 411 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: away trip. These are all the things they will learn 412 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 2: from that. But you know, for Rosie, that's a tough 413 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: initiation going. 414 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: Down there like a young fighter step in the ring 415 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: with Muhammad Ali, exact funny the great you know where 416 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: you stand. That's right. Those young players yesterday said, they said, 417 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: we've watched Monster, We've watched Grant We've watched pappen House 418 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: and Hues and that, but we just didn't know what 419 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: it was like to be on the receiving end of that. 420 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 3: They got punched in the face yesterday, but they know 421 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: what's coming now. 422 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: The young side they did with the Cowboys, a lot 423 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: of young guys there would have been shell shocked and 424 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: look Toddy Toddy Canty. Toddy Payton ended the season under 425 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: fair bit of pressure because I think even though they 426 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: played finals last year, I thought they under choeved. I 427 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: thought the standard of football they're capable a lot better 428 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: of the year before terrible. The way they've started this 429 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: year is alarming. They've got the Sharks next week and 430 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: that the Broncos after that. Todd Toddy can't afford another 431 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: loss like Saturday night. 432 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 3: It was bad. 433 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: It was a bad start, like mainly were unbelievable. But 434 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 2: since it was it twenty two, the Cowboys did their thing. 435 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: They went to a prelim. Ye it was twenty two, 436 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 2: played a really high level. 437 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: They looked like a side that was going to roll 438 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: into the next year and picture too. 439 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty three bad, twenty four we're inconsistent. 440 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: We got back to a point I think they've lost 441 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 3: their consistency. 442 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've lost their They've got top end talent, but 443 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 2: they've also lost a little bit of that sort of 444 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 2: work ethic that sits below the top end talent. And 445 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 2: like they just their forward pack, just let Perseca, Jake 446 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: ta Voievic, they just let. 447 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: Them run coops. That that excellent season when they got 448 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: to the final four, it almost make it very very 449 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: close to making the Grand Final, perilously close. Is that 450 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: that that year their game is based on fitness, discipline 451 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: and defense. Somewhere in between that last game, in the 452 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: first game of twenty twenty three, they just become attack 453 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: of obsessed. They just got intoxicated. But what they can 454 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: do with the football, and they were the same last year. 455 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: They if you play them every day of the week, 456 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: because they're happy to win forty two forty, they'll let 457 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: you play football. They've just got to develop a much 458 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: harder each. 459 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: What did you say the thing in twenty twenty two 460 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: they built their game on, was it defense, work ethic 461 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 2: and all those things? Right, that's exactly discipline. Yeah, it's 462 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 2: exactly what Craig Bellmy has done for twenty three years. Yeah, right, 463 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: he knows exactly what he's good at, and he just 464 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: keeps coming back to the table every time. He lets 465 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: other people worry about the attack, all the changes and 466 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: things like that. 467 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: So no, just follow at it. You blokes are ordinary roosters, Well. 468 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: They need to tackle anyone, neither of Today. 469 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: It's good. The Broncos, well, I mean, look what you go, 470 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: tell me, Tell me what do you think? 471 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: Give me your take on the Roosters? What else? 472 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: I understand under strength all those things. But the side 473 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: you put out I looked at it on the night 474 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: right and I liked the Broncos going in. Everyone did. 475 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: But teams tell you what, mate, it's still a good 476 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: It's still a good rooster side. 477 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 478 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 2: Well there's Taedasco Towns and Crichton, Colin's Radley Watson off 479 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: the top. 480 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: To go out in wet weather and be able to 481 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: put fifty points on a team says a lot about 482 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos and know how they're prepared for the season, 483 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: But it says a lot about the Rooster's defense. I 484 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: saw and cooped. I was so dislocated at times. It 485 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: was structurally it was bad, like you know, there was 486 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: some bad one on one missus. But more than that, 487 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: it was structurally they were so poor. And it's round one. 488 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 2: When you sort of predicted to have a challenge in year. 489 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: The one thing you probably need to focus on are 490 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: the hardest parts of the game. You like the defense, 491 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: like to kick, chose all those things. So alarming that 492 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 2: the game against was week two of pre season was 493 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: the Knights into the Broncos game when Trent Robinson historically 494 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: when he's won Comps has been the best defensive team. 495 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 3: I mean, so that's the focus. That's the thing. 496 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: And talking about Jerome Lewi on how to win a 497 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: game as a halfbacker without touching the ball, well, Chad's 498 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: got a little bit of that.
