WEBVTT - Origin 2 REACTION! | NSW Defensive Collapse, QLD Blueprint & Cobbo Magic!

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what I think. I think Laurie's got them

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>right where he wants them. Yeah, you know, that's all

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>part of the master playing. My friend sun Corp decided

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>game three this was sad of Origin is all about.

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 1>But for our if you're listening on podcasts and Spotify app,

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>here the subscribe button for us. And if you're watching

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>on the YouTube, let's try to get our YouTube scribes

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to thirty thousand. And guess what, Matthew, we've still got

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>some mate versus mate caps still available. The decider New

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>South Wales flew off the shelf in the first game

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 1>because obviously they won. Now Queen's Land winning, so get

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>them before game three so you can wear them to

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>your respective pubs or if you're go into the game. Yes,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>but what again, that was quite a unique one. We're

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>going to go through a bit of an overview of

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the game, people's performances, some potential changes in game three

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>coming too, sun Corp. But the biggest moment, Matthew, we

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>spoke about it during the game and yes, I think

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the people at home would have got

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the same sort of vibe that defensive set right before halftime.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Queensland were on the ropes New South Wales. I think

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>they were up twelve to eight and they had two

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>sets and an attack and they had a repeat set

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a six again there Queen's Zam were out on their

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>feet and they managed to stop New South Wales who

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of momentum.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>And we said it at the time, we said, if

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Queensland stopped this, I think they run away in the

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>second half and win it. It was such a defining

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>moment for that game, wasn't it.

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>It really was cool because and as we go through

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the run of the game, you'll see the first half

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of New South Wales dominated for the most part

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of that first half, with Queensland sort of hit back

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>towards the back end. They got the Liero try. But

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>what you got with twelve eight and all of a sudden,

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>if New South Wales had got that, and let's remember

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>they're taking there right on half time, they year two

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>sets and max Plath Mons's not on the maxi Plath

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>is defending on the edge, so you know, months is

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>one of their primary community caters dictates how you know,

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>like your roads defense very very well, so big opportunity there.

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>One thing Queensland do very well boys. Queensland individually and collectively,

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Queensland players got a very very good sense of the dramatic.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>And I mean this individually and collectively is that when

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>they're under adversity, they know exactly what they have to do,

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the sense that this is a really important time in

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 2>the game and what they have to do under adversity

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>to turn this game around and pull off a you know,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>whilst I wouldn't say miraculous victory, but like they've done

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in the past, you know, they thrive on it when

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>they're under pressure and you know the chips the chips

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>down a little bit, you can see them lift because

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>they go, okay, we could be part of one of

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>those great Queensland wins. So twelve eight New South Wales

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>leading and the Queensland had you know, we dominated that

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 2>first half for the most then Queensland just pulled a

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 2>little bit back with the lieiro try. But if we

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>go in there, we score. Suddenly it's eighteen and eight

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>up we go into the sheds our tails are right

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>up and Queensland, you know, we've just suppressed that momentum

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. So it's a big one, you know,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that it was Queensland in the past and as that

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>showed again tonight had the ability to turn a turn

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:19.679
<v Speaker 2>a contest with their defense with effort, and what Queensland

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 2>do very very well in those situations is absorb pressure.

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what they're brilland at. Yeah, I thought that through

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>if the tailor tape to the game, I thought, like,

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're going to go through New South Wales.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, they won the Yardists for the most past

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.119
<v Speaker 2>in the first half of that second half in yard

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Is though, were absolutely smashed.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what, you know what, you know what it

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>comes from. It comes from whoever whoever kicks off first

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>in origin, like they get so much of an advance.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like I was kicked off first Queensland just you

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>can never get out of your own forty in that

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>first few sets of origin and you start basically I

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>think Sam Walker kicked the first one and they catch

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it on their own forty and they start to dominate films.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>In the second half the exact same thing happened. Well,

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Queensland kicked yes and then we caught, we tracked them

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and New Southwes didn't get out of their end for

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the first ten minutes.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's it, Like I just thought throughout the game,

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and we'll run through a bit by bit, but I

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>just throughout the game. I thought the New South Wales,

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>particularly in the second half, they constantly looked indecisive and

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>nervous with the football, like just hesitant with the football.

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Queensland just looked really decisive and really aggressive. That's how

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>they looked. And so when you marry those two things up,

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, those two factors, it explains why well the

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Blues were steamrolled that second half. It's funny because if

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 2>we go through the game, the first twenty minutes of

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the game, the first couple says Queensland look good, and

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>they put they they shifted the ball to their left side,

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>their favorite side, Queensland left side, Cantoni's side. They made

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>a break and they led to nil. And then a

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>really big moment was when they hitped off New South Wales.

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Flegler dropped that ball. And when Tommy Fletller dropped

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 2>that ball and Mark you may have picked it up

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and went inside and Catoni scored. That sparked a little

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>period of dominos for New South Wales. And I thought

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Queensland coop there. They actually looked quite rattled, Like if

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you look at that, go back and watch the twenty

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>minute period after that try, they looked really intocisive and

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 2>yardage Yeah, you know they didn't. They're looking like, okay,

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>we're pushing towards the end. There was one point that

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Harry threw the ball to Monster and Munster sort of

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 2>went there and you see him go to Harry like,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what, what did you throw it to me?

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they did look a little lot. I think they

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>have such an emphasis on starting well and when when

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Fleggler dropped off that and they scored, it was

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>such a against the run of play and they wanted

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>to build pressure and you saw the next attacking set

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales they started to get very expansive with

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the footage. I think Katni actually they hit Katony threw

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>it over the sideline. But then that was sort of

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a turning, like they didn't go into their shell from

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>their New South Wales. New so Wales continued to play

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that style of footage. They actually played a really good

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>attacking brand, just continuing to get it to stags on

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the right side early and then cooler on the left

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>side early, not too many block shaped was really fat

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>flat and they were getting the ball there quickly and

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it didn't give the Queensland edges any time to first

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>of all identify what was coming at them or get

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>lin speed with there.

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>And during that PERIOCHU will win the yardage. And so

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 2>consequently when New South Wales win yardage, you've got you're

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 2>constantly getting Mitchell Moses and Nathan Cleary into attacking key

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>positions and you're going to score points. And that one there,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Nathan put a little grab, put a kick through, it

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>rebounded off Munster threw it over top to Marky Mark

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and we're leading twelve points to two, and the sailing along.

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 2>But then that try Queensland again mate, And the tailor

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 2>of the tape is constantly Queensland moving the ball to

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>their favorite side, understanding their strengths and where they can

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>find us vulnerable. And you know, we were having all

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the run running and all of a suddenly Queensland got

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.559
<v Speaker 2>the ball. They just moved the ball to that left

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>hammer Bee Katarni and Dylan Lucas went down. The next play,

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Harry scoops it up and away he goes and they

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>score and twelve points to wait, you know, and an

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 2>interesting period here months went off for the HIA. After that,

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Plath goes to six. Very interesting there, very the most

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>logical play you would think at that time would be okay,

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>here we go Reee Walsh to fall back Kaylin into

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>six as logical. Now Billy's is recognized in the game.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Hang on, the game's not it's not breaking open yet, right,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I'm not going to throw all the chips

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>in at the moment. So instead he goes Plath at six. Okay,

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>which looks a more risky play, but I don't think

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>it is. He goes to six to show up yet defensively,

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and he decides, okay, for this next period, I'm going

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to go without. I'm going to play with one less

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>creative player and just lean on, lean on Kaitlin a

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit more, to just do a little bit more.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It's funny during that period, Coup I thought, in that

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>period semi Walkers football, he really missed Monster there. I

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>thought I thought he was absolutely in the game. I

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>thought that was just one period, weary dips one.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they had a bad plan. I don't think

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>they know. No one has a plan for that. When

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a creative goes off, but I think they should have

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>used max Plath up front a little bit more, playing

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it like an Isao type ball, playing roll up the

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>front and then allow Sammy Walker and Kaylen Pong to

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>combine the secondary out of the shape at the back.

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of the times they just send Max

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Plats to the short side and allow Walker and kp

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>just to sort of combined on one over side. But

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't create any numbers because they were manned down

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. And then in defense, I think it

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>actually they did look vulnerable a couple. This is where

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you said I should have taken advantage of it. They

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.319
<v Speaker 1>nearly took advantage of it. Once they went down that

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>right sode. They put a when you've got a larger

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>body who's not used to defending at that half spot

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>where you've got a back or running your inside shoulder,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you got to check him and they get out the back.

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>They did it once they put Moses on plas outside shoulder,

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and they actually looked really under pressure. Marky Mark nearly

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>scored in the corner, but Cobbo just did enough to

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>he planted it on the line. But it was the

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>only time they went back to that side. They looked

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 1>good in that, so they probably played a little early

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>knowing that Plath was there. They could have gone a

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit deeper, held him up more. But New South

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Wales didn't go back to that side and put the

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>same thing on a little bit disheartened because Marky Mark

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't score, but I thought they could have taken a

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit better of advantage from that.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it funny their coop We just spoke about that,

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>We said about the ability to absorb pressure, and so

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a billy at that point when Monster goes off straight

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.599
<v Speaker 2>away they've scored like Coeensland has scored, but he recognizes

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>months to going off. Okay, we're under pressure here. You know,

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>we've we've lost We've lost our one of our most

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>important men. He's gone off the Fieldenslet and New South

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Wales going to recognize that. What do I do? You know,

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>what are we going to do here? Okay, I'm not

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>going to go all chips on the roofs. Let's absorb

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.079
<v Speaker 2>the pressure. Let's put Maxi Plath on bloke with aggression

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and energy. He's going to bring that to the football

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and just hold him out during this period and it

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>worked well. Yeah, and then a funny coop just from

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 2>watching Origin for so long, just that last that defensive

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>effort at the end from Coinsland when you went to halftime,

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting there just instinctively going, I just know how

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>this is going to play out.

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Sure, yeah, you felt like there was a lot of

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 3>fatigue in it, like going into that next half and

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>even the fact that Munster had that fifteen minutes off,

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 3>same as Tino to be fair, but more.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So Monthster is a creative player.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 3>But like the fact that Money got fifteen minutes off

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 3>and then they absorbed that pressure going into that half,

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 3>like we just saw them, like we saw the points

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 3>just stack up the last twenty of the game just

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 3>because they like New South Wales was just shot to bits.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Well you saw and you spoke about that try just

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>before halftime where Trent Leo scored it. Max Platt did

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a little round the corner pass to it. But it

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>was the story of that whole first off when and

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>even the second half we're going to which we're going

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>about to get into, but every time Consland looked good

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 1>with the football. They were attacking in and around that space,

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>in and around Catoni whether it was putting a block

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.599
<v Speaker 1>on him, making him check and they now have to

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>chase Cadle out the back, giving it to getting it

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the back and giving it to the hammer.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>It'd either challenged him on the outside or in that instance,

0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>cuts him back on the inside because he's so worried

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 1>about his speed. Then Harry Grant takes Dylan Lucas was

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>one marker and Harry Grant on fifth tackle, goes down

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that short side. When he goes down that short side

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>on last, that whole the whole New South Wales defensive

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>line compresses and start chasing to where Harry went, thinking oh,

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>he's the major threat. But they go long past to

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Munster who gets it out to Sammy Walker gets at

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the max Plath and then a nice little pass to

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Tramp in the air. It was they had a few

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>really nice tries like that. Queens Land a little bit

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>more you saw game one. They had a little bit

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>more set moves ready to go, Like they tried to

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>catch James Tedesco out he was in the line with

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 1>their little short kicking game. They didn't have any of that.

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>This time you didn't have any of that. They relied

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>more on their like football instincts and almost playing a

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>little bit of Fiji and touch football.

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, they did coops Yep, they certainly did too.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>You know in that second half two things when you

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 2>run through the tries and the second half coup and jack,

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>it's one of two things. It's working. It's dominating yanage

0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.599
<v Speaker 2>and working in a position for an attacking kick or

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 2>working really smart sequences to attack to their favorite side

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to put pressure on Katoni. I mean the first drive

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to halftime, Yadie Dommets. Now get them, get them to

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 2>an attacking kicks, send me walker high kicks as you said,

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>they come up with and sell in schools that try

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>at the far edge. But again, like like you said,

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Maxi Maxi Plath, I mean that bloke mate, it just

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>his ability to find and he did it twice in

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this game to the ars try and that try. The

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>ability to find the right play, the right pass that's

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>going to lead to a try in a tight, difficult situation.

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just outstanding.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>They've got like they have particularly in their middle like

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Max Plath and like Harry gran offers it as well,

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>but some of their mobile forward forwards. They've got great

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>football instincts. Yeah, Like, you know, people use the term

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>AdLib football and eyes up football and whatnot, but they've

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>got really good Like it's like they've they've grown up

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>almost as backs. They've their bodies developed. They can play

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>in the forwards. But they're really creative. Like maxi Plath,

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>his first instinct was to actually pass, but if someone

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>just in the passing lane, and then he did a

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>little over the top pass to Monster so then found

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.959
<v Speaker 1>that beautiful little kick to Selboyn Cops.

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Just find the past, find the man.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a good mix because, like I just said

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>before that game one, it was really it was like

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the brilliance of Billy Slater's coaching in giving them some

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>nice set plays which they got three clean tries out of,

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>whereas this one it was a lot of just you

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>could tell their plan was to just let's get up there, kick,

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>chase a lot more effort based, and our tries will

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>come naturally.

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep. May definitely coups, definitely, yeah, Like and the second

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>trive to half time coup was the combination of the

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>two things we're talking about. Yardish dominants. Sammy Walker puts

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>high kick in, it brings the new South Wales Era.

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>They gave to the scrum and from the scrum they

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 2>do a nice little trick shot. Guess which side the

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 2>head to their favored left hand side, pressuring in around

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Catoni again, beautiful blind pass from Semi Walker, completely blind pass,

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 2>so much trust there and Klein just rips around it.

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>And it was actually when you see that, Nathan clear

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>knew it was coming. You could see you knew it

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was coming because Caylen fed it and as Kalyn fed

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>it he was wrapping around. He knew there was going

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a block inside Katni and Kala was going

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to get on the back. Nathan actually did the right

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>decision because the only way really you can be passive

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>on that play, or you can get out and shut

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it down before the fullback has time to actually be

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>out the back of the block. And if you see

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it in slow mate, Nathan actually did that, really really

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>got out and he put the pressure on the only

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thing he didn't account for was the brilliance of sam

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Walker because sam Walker actually Kaylen was about three or

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>four meters out of position, but sam Walker just did

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>this beautiful blind no look pop pass and he just

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>gave it enough float and just popped it just enough

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>so that Caylen could get it at full steam get

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>on the outside of Katni stags and he puts Cell

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>and Cobo in that left corner like it's almost Nathan

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>would have been if you'd ask. If you asked, Nathan,

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you said, like I know, I knew it

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was going to be man on. If I got up

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and got aggressive, I could shut the play down quick enough.

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>But he just didn't account for that X fact that

0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Sam Walker has.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he's Sam. This has been the making of Sam's

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 2>career mate.

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's only played two staut Of origins like

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>last Last Game one and now this. He and to

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>be as experienced as he like. He looks like a

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>veteran out there when he does, and.

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 3>The crazy thing is too Like leading into this series,

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 3>there's talk around him being under pressure and possibly getting

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 3>moved around. I think that might have quickly been shut up.

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I think definitely cook Jack and the next try one

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>thing you what you see with the next row they

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 2>score off, the next kickoff. What you see with Coueensland.

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Right when Queensland are on top, they accelerate and they

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 2>lift when tough times. Like we said before, they absorb.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 2>So this point in the game they're twenty to twelve

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>up after Selwyn's scores from that little trick shot, so

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 2>they're accelerating rather than go right, okay, let's just consolidate

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 2>for a bit mate. They up the Andy and for

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>the next one they again off, they kick off, They

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 2>tack down that favorite left side again. They go there.

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>They put a dent, Harry scoops and he goes, he

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>goes through and then they go two past to Monster

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>who does the long kick to Jojo for Fod who

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>scores and it and like you said, like you said

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>during that you know your time at the at the

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Melbourne Storm working with Billy. That's one of Billy's favorite plays.

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>A two pass kick.

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, he because teams are so good at escorting. So

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>if you get one pass like you see and someone

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>just puts it, if you've got a great area threat

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like Mark and on and you put it just you

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>just kick it there. Some aero threats can get up

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>past the escort and still have a dent. But when

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you go a two pass Sam Walker and then rips

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it to Cam Munster, it forces I think it was

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the center was Tallu Kohler at the time. Yeah, it

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>forces that edge to actually have to come up the

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>edge on fifth tackle. They want to just stay back,

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>stay back, almost cheat the system. And then as the

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>kick goes up they can instantly create a wall around

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>their winger just to protect here. But if you if

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you act like you going to run like that two pass,

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it forces Tolu to come in and up on the

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>end of the line in case they have a run,

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and then Monster just puts that beautiful kick in. They

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>did on two occasions. One they got an arrow al

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Tora and this time Jojo a feed a squad, But

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 1>it just isolates a winger completely and because is back

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>there on his back foot, Jojo has all the momentum

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 1>he's running and it's it's almost like a soccer and

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like a heater in soccer. Yeah, you know,

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the center backs are sitting there just completely on their

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>back foot, trying to get momentum and be aggressive to

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 1>get up. But Jojo just had all the running come

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>from outside in and just completely blindsided. It was a

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 1>beautiful child.

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 2>What about Bill, What about Billy's ability? Billy's ability to

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 2>elevate those players like Selwyn like we can talk aboute

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>later and Jojo like, you know, like like under him.

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know exactly what he does and how to

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 2>coach him or whether it's just information or it's belief

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 2>or what it is. But my god, players it you

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>know that get whoever he selects and takes a part on.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:50.920
<v Speaker 2>My god, they fire.

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Just he just knows how to It seems like he

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>just knows how to narrow their focus into what's important

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for him, you know, and get them, get them. For Selwyn,

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I imagine his almost his biggest obstacle and his game

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is himself, you know, sometimes not you know what I mean, spot.

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's some of those players they get in

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>some days they're just their heads a little bit. They're focused,

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 1>they're focusing on big plays and not probably you know

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>what some of their strengths are where Billy goes. Don't

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>worry about you know, don't worry about score on two

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 1>or three trials or trying to get an intercept or

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 1>shut this down. Your focus is on yardage. And you

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 1>could see him and Jojo from the start, yep, they're

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.879
<v Speaker 1>like back carries out of their round. Particularly Selwyn like

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>he gave Nathan Cleary sometimes like Nathan's a great defender.

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 1>For a half too, he was getting up in Selwyn's

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>face and just getting thrown off like it was greg English, like.

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>It was it was actually what was throwing a couple

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of the runs earlier. Jesus was like, Jui you Sally.

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 2>The world's got back into the game there for a second.

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Again the Marones dropped it off the kickoff again and

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>we scored twenty six aeen. Then sixteen minutes to go again,

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess side. They go straight to that left side,

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>targeting Cantoni and this time Catni Mate he just flies

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>outside in. It's almost like like that's that's a defensive

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>decision from someone. I think he was under pressure. See

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 2>that he's just raced outside in collected kal and made

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.679
<v Speaker 2>probably lucky not to be sent got ten, but it

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>just left you short the edge vulnerable and Hammer goes

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and scores and again that's it's Queensland just going You

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 2>said about you know what is it that gives players confidence?

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>It's narrowing the focus and also given them a GPS

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and their brain to say, right, this is what we're doing.

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 2>This is we're going to take the football and in

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the first two games Ponger has terrorized the New South

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Wales left hand side defense or New South Wales right

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>hand side defense. Sorry with containing that there by just

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 2>basically just sitting himself in that sweet spot and saying

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to Queensland, you bring the ball to me, and it's

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 2>just it's worked time and time again.

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, like it was a decision that was

0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that was a blow. He hadn't jammed. I don't think

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you and coming outside in aggressively that in game one

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>at all. Katoni, I know the other center. I think

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Critter had a few times in game one and Tollu

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>had a few times in the first half in game two.

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 1>But he hadn't been aggressive all day. He was quite passive, passive.

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>But when you put when you get in the head

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of an opposition center with your attack, and he's been

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>passive all day, just sort of trying to work together

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>as an edge. But they put a couple of tries

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 1>on him. They put Katoni on ice skate a couple

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of times. That's the decision he makes. He makes a

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>bad decision trying to solve it himself. You know, it

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.199
<v Speaker 1>gets hits him high gets sent depending in the bin.

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>But on top of that, him coming out of the

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>line also put that edge under pressure, which ultimately led

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to Hammer being ham a scoring that try like it

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was just a it was a really well attacked sixty

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes that put that doubt in Catoni's head.

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, mate, it did, Coops, It just yeah, he just

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 2>had Calein coming at him all the time, and almost

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 2>for every center. It must be it must be a

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 2>nightmare the two ways.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's there's probably not one center

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.919
<v Speaker 1>you put there and it's an instant fix, you know.

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's one place you go to.

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Like that's why Crichton was a big loss. Yeah, Crichton

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.440
<v Speaker 2>is a big loss. If I had to back any

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 2>center and a big stage, you'll be able to do

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a job there. It'd be Stephen cricht.

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Because all there, like you said, literally it wasn't I

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>reckon if we got the stats of in terms of

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>what side of the field they attacked percentage wise Queensland,

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I reckon, it'd literally be seventy five that edge.

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.399
<v Speaker 2>All their attack, all their attack went that way, all

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 2>their quality ball went that way. Let's talk about, mate,

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the the try harry scoops and schools to Lindsey Collins.

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 2>But I I know, just can you just why does Teddy?

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I've thought this before. What is teddy kickoff? And and

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 2>and that's one thing to kick a ball along because

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.440
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a lot of margin forerr for a long kickoff,

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 2>but short kickoff like Teddy, Like, I'm looking at that

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 2>team and they go, okay, if you're looking for a

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 2>short kickoff, like, sure is Nathan.

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I just I understand why they did it, because I.

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Understand why they did it, but why did he kick it?

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think they wanted to catch Queen's on off

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>by surprise and knowing that if you put Nathan there,

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>then they then they account for the short kickoff. But

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>you saw that that short kickoff, he didn't hit it

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.199
<v Speaker 1>well at all. And Teddy's not a natural kickof well

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not a natural What the hell is he doing it?

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know he probably most fullbacks and then

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 1>are on now learn because the coaches make him learn

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.880
<v Speaker 1>so that they have a full defensive line who goes

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>down on the kick in the actual long kickoff. Yeah,

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 1>so all fullbacks like Dylan Edwards, who's not like natural

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>kicker either he kicks off and things like that. But

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 1>like you said, when you want a pinpoint short kick,

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you need your craftiest kickers to do that, and that's

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>like your goalkicker, like Mitchell Moses or Nathan probably doing

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>more well equipped.

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, that's that's an acute kick,

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>that's a that's a really different kick. So with a

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>game on the line, would you let would you let

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Teddy be Like, if you've got Nathan out the end,

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you've got Mitchell Moses and the games on the line

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to kick golf from the sideline, would you throw the

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 2>ball to Teddy?

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's why the hell would you do a

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 2>shit like? I just that that for me, that blew

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 2>me away.

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think that that just showed that the pressure

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>they were under and how fatigued they were because they

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>clearly hadn't communicated at all through their spine usually spine

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to get together and go we're going short. Yeah, I'll

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>take this. But it looked like and you saw how

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>disconnected the New so Well spine after that when they

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 1>come out after that second half, in the first fifteen

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the second half, because they were brilliant in

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the first half, but that second half they came out

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and they just didn't fire a shot all day apart

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.640
<v Speaker 1>from that one try with Marky. Mark scored yep, when

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>cobbos when he sort of skipped on the outside of Cobbo.

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, they just looked really discot It didn't look

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>like they even had much ball or an opportunity to

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>get down the other end.

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's have a little talk about the game now all over, like,

0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:56.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll summarize forty four to twenty four. I

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of feel that floaters in New Southes a little bit.

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you reckon forty four twenty.

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Four given the complete dominance when you buy coinsland in

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the second half, possibly a little bit for a little bile.

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were going to crack when they would

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.919
<v Speaker 2>just try a try. I said to you, cracked fifty

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>here forty four twenty four. Yeah, look for Sam Walker, fantastic.

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 2>The only time that in the game that I thought

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>he looked under pressure a little bit was when Munster

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 2>went off. You know, he's right hand man. He had

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>to do a lot more communicating, a lot more work,

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and I thought at times, you know, that affected his

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 2>kicking game. So and Cobbo in my best on field

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:40.959
<v Speaker 2>Powerhouse and yardage great finishing that final try scored. Nobody

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Blas can score that.

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Literally everyone in the room said, oh, that's no try. Yeah,

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and then it went and then you when he slowed

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 3>it down, he literally it was like the ball was

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 3>hanging onto his last knuckle for like the last like

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 3>meter almost it just.

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.919
<v Speaker 1>It looked like a fast motion. It looked like he

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>bounced it. And I remember I said to you, Jake,

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I bet you he finds the way to I bet yeah.

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He's just that kind of freaky fella. Like he's the

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy. He is the kind of winger where

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it could be a four on one and he's the last

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>line of defense and he'll take a full field in

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the sets spot on. He's just an absolute summary.

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 2>He just freaks like that, Max Plath said before Powerhouse.

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Mate energetic, aggressive, skillful, but he's got really good vision

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 2>and good tactical awareness. He's a complete player. He looks

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 2>he looks like exactly who he is. The kid. He's

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.640
<v Speaker 2>been playing football since he's been four or five years old.

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 2>His father was a footballer. Imagine his grandfather had been

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a footballer and all he wanted to be was a football.

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was outstanding and I love for what I

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:38.120
<v Speaker 1>love what Harry Grant did.

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Harry was really creative.

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Particularly the first half when Munster was off, he ended

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>up taking a lot of the reins because the spine

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>was you could tell that Sam Walker and Kaylen were

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit off. They didn't really have a clear

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.919
<v Speaker 1>set structure and for that time Harry sort of just

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 1>narrowed their attack to attack to straight down the middle,

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 1>used Tino, a couple other big boys boys on drop

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.159
<v Speaker 1>offs and it just took a little bit of the

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.399
<v Speaker 1>juice out of the New South Wales forward pack and

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you can see that in the second half that same

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.679
<v Speaker 1>pack came straight back out and they were really behind

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the fatigue level. So I think that went a long way.

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Kaylin was great, great, Cayln was great. That he's given

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot more at Newcastle. You see this has been,

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, his finest season, not because the highlight

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 2>reels or anything like that. It's just the direction he's

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 2>giving the leadership and you saw that that on show

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>in this origin series. He's been he's been exceptional.

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Cook.

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about okay changes for New South Wales.

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's a couple again Catoni, it's been a

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 2>couple of bad performances and I thought he was lucky

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to Holy Spot for game two. So Crichton's fit. He

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>goes in with McLain.

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 4>Well there's there's word that Latrell could be back. Well,

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 4>there you go, he's left edge, He's the left edge.

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Then you could go Tyler or it's Crichton.

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I really like what Tyler Toller did.

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 2>He was made. I've written down in ok who was

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 2>their best. He's the first one I've written down. In

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the first half mate, he's he's speeding, his power running

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and his toughness coming out of the yard. Each was exception.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>He actually gave us. He gave us a lot in

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.240
<v Speaker 1>terms of getting downfield, field possession and then obviously know

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>what he does with the football. They didn't go to

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>his edge probably a lot in terms of early ball.

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.400
<v Speaker 1>They went more to Catoni's edge for that early football.

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 1>But I thought Tyler was really good. I think he's

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the kind of He's been to fullback and covered for

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Turbot at club Land, so I don't think he

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>would struggle going from left to right. He can carry

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the ball both arms.

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I look at if Stephen Crichton is fit and Latrell's fit.

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess Stephen Crichton, Latroll Mitchell. If you want to

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 2>beat Coeensland Sun Corpse Stadium in a decider, you need

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:58.880
<v Speaker 2>that fucking blokes with big, strong blokes with a lot

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of presents. There are two blokes that stand out.

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 3>If they're both would you now one bloke that's been

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 3>out for a while it comes back this weekend against

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 3>the Dragons. If you have a couple of decent games,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 3>would you consider putting Bradman Best on the ledge the

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 3>left and then Cola on the right.

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Or another bloke who's been at Santa Tom Trevitch.

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think Jeezu is a big decisions Turbos back

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this weak some really big decisions to make. That's it,

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you put this out. We'll just say this. There's going

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 2>to be these very possibly a really pool of quality

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 2>players you can play there. I go the first ones.

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I pick the three that I look at, primarily Latroll Mitchell,

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Crichton, Tommy Stravovich, Yeah, Cola Toller on the wing,

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 2>play center, all that stuff. We know that he was

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 2>very very good tonight. But if you're going to be

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Queensland up there, you've got to take giants. You're going

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 2>to take giants as far as size and presents.

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the problem is with like the selections

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in terms of I don't think you know it's oh,

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this play is going to fix that or this player

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is going to fix that. I think it is like

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the mindset in the group, like they've got to it

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 1>almost this is we say this about New Subwales every

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>single year. On paper, the talent is way better than Queensland.

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Like you look at that side tonight, some of the

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>players in there, they're if they're in the Queensland side,

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 1>like they probably play a little bit better than they

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>did on New Subwales side. It's got to be it's

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>not whether you pick Latrell or whether you pick times Rowers,

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.479
<v Speaker 1>whether you pick Critter. They've got to get together and

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>like they got to they got to really come up

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>with a narrative and a story to get himself motivated,

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>because we saw how dominant they were that first half

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>against Couendas and like they just not playing an eighty

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>minute performance at the moment.

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 2>When you have great players around you. They coop that

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 2>elevates you and it gives you belief. Like Paul Harrigan

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 2>used to say, when Chief went away playing for the Kangaroos,

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 2>he said, Chimpy, I'd look over molmenting and put any

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 2>socks on. Game. Mate. We can't give boat today, and

0:29:57.920 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that's we do a great play. Chris Close said that

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 2>when he was a young player and he's sitting first

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 2>of Origin game and he's nervous as hell and looks

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>an next to him and Arthur Boots is taping up

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 2>his fingers. He just goes, Oh my god, we're going

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>to the war. That's what those That's what those great,

0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 2>those great players do.

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I just don't I think we have so many great

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>players in that side. Like if I if I was

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 1>lacing up from your eyes right now, I'd look and

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I go, funk, I've got Nathan Cleary, James Tedesco, Isaiah

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>They've got enough of those players in there.

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think one player comes in there and

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>fixes the whole mines. I think it's a whole team problem.

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I think there's a bit of a belief problem.

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a belief problem. I think that, But

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 2>there's just something about Blakes like like latrell And and

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Tom do you know what I mean, Like the other

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 2>guys that the other guys here, they're great plays, but

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 2>there's just something about those two blakes, like those two

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 2>that if you're looking at the team sheet Queensland and

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 2>go oh fuck, okay, right, you know.

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Like because they've done it before, they've done it before,

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 5>and they're just you know anyway, particularly particularly Tom and Latroll,

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Like when when like those two they're they're the kind

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 5>of guys that could go in for they could play

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 5>two of the three game series and when the like

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 5>win the wall in Lewis medal, like they could win

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 5>the whole the whole series medal.

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how good they are.

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, do you think it's actually up for grabs?

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, do you think there's anyone that's particularly sort of

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 3>maybe Sam Walker possibly, is anyone particularly sort of locked

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 3>in the you know player the series award? Like is

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.240
<v Speaker 3>this last game going to really like it couldn't be.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Anyone's I think at the moment, Nose in Front, I

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>think it's Kaylan and Sam at the moment.

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>And then for New South, I would say Nathan from

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>his game way. But and Nathan wasn't horrible tonight in

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the second half.

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>He had now he struggled, he struggled forward, struggled that

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't get him on. I thought he was I

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 2>thought he was quite the first half. I think we're

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 2>playing two structured But the bottom line is that we're

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 2>just getting smashed in yard.

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 3>I reckon we could be looking at a winger again.

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I reckon Sell and Cobber personally, she has a.

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Big game, gags had gas. Is one too exactly?

0:31:58.040 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Is he won too?

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I think you're about to move on to this topic.

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 3>So and there's a few fan questions asking this. People

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 3>were asking about Appy on the bench, what tactic wise, what.

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you think they're for me? Appy? If you

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't pick Appy, you've got to start him, get him

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 2>on there. For me, it was a no brainer, I

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 2>said all week, I start with API chorus. Appy's another

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>guy that's got a lot of really he's got a

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of presents, got a lot of experience. He's tough,

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 2>he's creative, he's skillful, ticked all those boxes. Reese's like,

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Reese is a really good strong player. But coras how,

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 2>he just needed in the way the game is with

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the Rucks would speed through the middle and that sort

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, Mate, like cous our is another level.

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Or they should have had they either that I love that,

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 1>or they should have had a plan that that twenty

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty five minute mark, Appy's on and he finishes the

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 1>whole game, Like Reese, you've taken the sting out of

0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that game. But now you've you saw what Blake Brailey

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 1>did when he came on for Robson in that first

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Like those guys are game breakers and they've got Harry

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 1>as the game breaker and when a lot of fatigue

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>comes through the middle, you see him start running and

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 1>he opens up so much attack for him, like for

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales and Happy or Blake Brailey.

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Is that Yeah, I've been thinking that model is like

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:17.440
<v Speaker 3>since probably a month out, like even when they had

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, you had blokes like Breakba, Blake Brailey Fit

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 3>or even Mitch Kenny. Like that model of having that

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 3>first fifteen minutes you know you're having your steak and

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 3>potatoes style hooker and then having that dynamic attacking flair

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 3>hooker come on sort of fifteen minutes either side of

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 3>the halftime.

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just ever think of this, boys and people who

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 2>are listening to this. Oftentimes, when I think of our selections,

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I think about this scenario. Just imagine you're in the

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>sheds before the game. You're nervous as hell, and what's happened.

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 2>What happens to people is you're in the sheds and

0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden there's a siren, which means, Okay,

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>all the coaches get out, all the physios get out.

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a two minute warning. We're going out there in

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.680
<v Speaker 2>two minutes. So that's the final word. I want you

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>to think about who you want to come up. When

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 2>you think about certain players right think you know there's

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 2>some of the hookers are out there. Some of the

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 2>guys have been talking about what do you want, like

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Rhys Robson, Does that a big impact? Or is opi

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:14.399
<v Speaker 2>corus hour? Which one comes up and grabs you by

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.359
<v Speaker 2>the arm and says, fuck, come on, let's go. Which

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:19.879
<v Speaker 2>one to you has the greater impact? And I think

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 2>about that with Latrell Mitchell and Stephen Crichton. I want guys,

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 2>there's certain guys that look at that that can lift

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 2>you can lift the side just by their presence.

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean?

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.280
<v Speaker 2>For me, that's what I think about in really big games.

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 2>In big games, I want to look at you know,

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 2>my teammates and look at Blake and go yep. It's

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 2>like I've said this story before. Paul Harrigan before the

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven Grand Final, put his hands in the middle

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 2>and just said, fucking go with me, Go with me.

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to fucking clean house today. No one gets

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 2>it off in a Grand Final and that just elevated everybody.

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 2>If you're standing under the game and you look over

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 2>and Latrell pulls his jersey on, you can see he's

0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:04.239
<v Speaker 2>in the mood, you just go, you go wow. I

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>remember when Joey was playing in those some of those

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:10.279
<v Speaker 2>great Blues sides, and I remember I was commentating, looked

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.840
<v Speaker 2>on the field and then when they ran on the field.

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying these guys had the same presence

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 2>as Trail and whatnot, but the last three blokes that

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 2>ran on the field with the three back, the three

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 2>blokes who sort of finished the scrum, Luke, Rigotson, Van

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy cred fits given. And I just looked at those

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>three blokes that combination, I went, They're not going to

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:31.399
<v Speaker 2>give a boat tonight. You know, those three blokes at

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 2>that point were at the top of their game, tough players,

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 2>and I just I oftentimes think about that if I'm

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:40.439
<v Speaker 2>in a shed and I'm looking around, who do I want?

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Who I want? Who do I want to be looking

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 2>at with me? Do I want a really exciting young

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 2>player who's coming through, or do I want a bloke

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 2>that's been there and done it all before he's just

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:51.720
<v Speaker 2>got great presence.

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a hell of a fucking point when you said.

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 2>That, Kim Kim Murray got to start. He has to start.

0:35:57.840 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 2>And look, I know a lot of people are going to

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 2>go for Nola Blake, you know, and I know he's

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 2>great for him. I just I'm biased. I love him

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 2>as a player. I just thought I thought tonight how

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>they used him, he was never going to have an impact.

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, they got him on there. Like I said

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:20.840
<v Speaker 2>when I was reporting from Washington, my starting my starting

0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 2>middles would have been Cam Murray, paynhass A Blake and

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 2>make you shoot your shot, your fire a shot across

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 2>their bow really early.

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 1>You got to start, well, you got it, got to

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 1>start with because it is so hard to get theout

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it you start.

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 2>You start well and you start to get yarded. You

0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:39.319
<v Speaker 2>suddenly Mitchell, Moses and Nathan start to get into the

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 2>game early and start to find their rhythm build confidence.

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I also, I think Joey said it in commentary towards

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game as well. They put the

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>camera on Ham. I think he's got to come into side.

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Still goes back for me when Dell was selected and

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 2>he was in the start line, made good on him.

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.880
<v Speaker 2>He deserves it, but I think we governed him his

0:36:56.960 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 2>first origin. It was for me. I think a really

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:03.520
<v Speaker 2>good for me. He looks like a great bench player.

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Because he can play, he can come. You put him

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 1>in the middle if you want, Santa like. He's a

0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>lot more mobile for a back roller than then putting

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Homolo on the.

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Bend through the game with his attack. I mean, they've

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 2>got in there because he's such a dangerous to taking player.

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 2>But they never set anything up for him. There was

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:21.399
<v Speaker 2>once in the second half Nathan sort of didn't look

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:25.480
<v Speaker 2>past and bush and went through Munster and you know,

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 2>really made a serious break, But they really set nothing

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 2>up for him.

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 1>They don't when they play a little bit like Penrith,

0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 1>where they just sort of use their back rolls on

0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 1>drop offs and for set up plays. They don't give

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.040
<v Speaker 1>their back rolls really clean attacking opportunities. Hudson had to

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:42.800
<v Speaker 1>go looking for it a couple of times. And Hudson,

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>because he roams everywhere, he had a couple of really

0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>nice little half line breaks and whatnot, but they weren't

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 1>really off a lot of shape. It was just Hudson

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.160
<v Speaker 1>being Hudson because he kind of does his own thing.

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But particularly Game one, when and when Deal was there tonight,

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 1>they just kind of they'll give them a little bit

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of early ball or just drop them off just to

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 1>get to a line. Yeah, when you new so Well's

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest strength as their back row, like that is one

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.120
<v Speaker 1>thing of the last few years that we've had one

0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 1>up over Queensland. But they need to use the more

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like on actual shape on actually dig into the line,

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 1>get in a one on one with a monster of

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Sam Walker. Like Sam Walker's not a big guy, but

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 1>they're just sort of getting huts in there early. Yes,

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you can use him early, but also take him into

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the line and get him attack an inside and outside

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:26.600
<v Speaker 1>shoulder of Sammy Walker.

0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I think going up there and Jack Kreman from wrong.

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 2>I think we're going to go up to Coinsland in

0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 2>the decider and knock him over. We need tough, experienced

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:41.359
<v Speaker 2>players who've done it before. Leam Martin, Patrol Mitchell is Fit,

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Crichton, OPI Corus sound on the nine. That really

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:47.880
<v Speaker 2>starts to take form. If you're going to beat them

0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:51.800
<v Speaker 2>up there, boys, you fucking need experience. You need experience,

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 2>and you need toughness, and you need presents. I love

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 2>it three to one. My three points case is selling

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Cobber to two.

0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I turned my mic down. I did see if you

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>had your headphones on.

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Thoughtful, thoughtful so and Coba three, Semi Walker, well done,

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 2>semi two and one point Harry Harry Grant, Yeah, I'm

<v Speaker 2>with you.

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I got sell On Cobb. I think he's everyone three point.

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I had Harry Houdini two and I actually had the

0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Plaith Dog was one.

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 2>My word, he's a tremendous jackie.

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 1>You got a three two one for us.

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:29.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I go sell In one, seam Walker two and yeah.

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:31.280
<v Speaker 3>One was somewhere between monster and Plath.

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, beautiful, beautiful.

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Sounds good to see. Daddy. You got to go to

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:36.840
<v Speaker 1>sleep because you have.

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:39.240
