1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Better than the Lego better than Lego? How many Origin

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: series you play.

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Debuted two ten and left in seven?

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Am was my last eight? How many you win? All

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: but one? That's right that era? How many clueing sweeps?

6
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: One?

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: I asked you the question, I knew what the answer was.

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Almost the last are sixteen? Almost went within a whisker.

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: So ten, isn't that funny? One of the I think

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: most influential things when it comes to big, big games,

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: big games, big games, the sport is desperation. You know

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: what difference desperation makes out? There's so few clean sweeps

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: because what it is a little bit one side is

14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: up one nill let's say, for instance, and just got

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: that little bit of a safety net. The other side

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: absolutely has to win, and it's desperation that wins out.

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: Criticism sharpens the sword. Desperation forces you to the contest

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: earlier than your opposition. I think at times I've been

19
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: under pressure down in a series or in a game

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: or whatever, it becomes really uverse for opposite number and

21
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: who's going to get to the ball first? As a

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: mentality was And then once you've got a lot of

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: people think in that way, that's why it ends up

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: being that desperation plays a key part. And to be fair,

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Matie like, if I'm being completely honestly, I'm probably more

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: or less confident about Queensland in this game than any

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: other game under Billy's leadership because of that single nature.

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: That one thing about Billy said through the week, which

29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: is new South Welshman, naturally concerned me because Billy said

30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: a lot of things throughout his tenure Man Marion's coach,

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: and none of them have just all of them come

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: to fruition, even ones where you go, geez, you know

33
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: this decision, why you're doing that? It was correct decision.

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: He came out. He will put it this way. He

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: doesn't say things just for the sake of it. He

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: came out this week and he was asked to question

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: the first performance. Great first performance, first up, and he

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: stopped saying no, it wasn't great performance. He said, I

39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: was really disappointed in a lot of aspects of our game.

40
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: Will be far better at the MCG. What area is

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: reckon he's talking about.

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's quite easy to look at the scoreboard and

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: then when you break it down swally. He went off

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: after seven or eight minutes Billy understands that sometimes when

45
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: you win Origin games and start getting confidence, complacency can

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: kick in. So He's all motto has always been about

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: earning the Origin jersey, earn the right to celebrate, earn

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: the right to lift the shield right. So I feel

49
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: like he's got a couple of those guys in his

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: team that can probably get a little ahead of themselves

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: at stages. So instead of bathing in the score line,

52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: I think he's reset the general like coaches do. They

53
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: always play a card at different stages, and I think

54
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: the one thing he understands is that New South Wales,

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: the MCG with arguably the best team for a period

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: of time, aren't exactly just going to roll over. And

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: I feel like he's going to put his team up

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: for a fight to earn the right.

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: In our team who presents the biggest challenge In your opinion.

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: Dylan Edwards, I feel like this has just been building

61
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: for this moment. His kid's been waiting for this opportunity

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: for a long time. It's a storyline that had been

63
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: the first He's played really well when he returned for

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: Penrith in between and I just feel like he's going

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: to make up for lost time. And he's never been

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: the guy that sets up for tries. He's always been

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: the guy that works his backside off, saves more tries

68
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: than his scores, and I feel like if he does that,

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: that's going to go a long way to being the

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: man of the match. And for Queensland off New South

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Wales winning.

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Latrell and we've got Stephen Crichton in the center, so

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: we'll get some strikeout wide. But when you pick cam

74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Maray and you pick de Lambert, it's fair to say

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: that the majority of your mindset is going to be

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: drilln straight through the middle.

77
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with that. Latrell's got the moment to

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: highlight that he's got the ability to really make an

79
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: impact with one play. But if you're going to win

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: an Origin game, it's done with a lot of little

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: players over and over again. And Dylan Edwards is that man.

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And for Queensland money who you were.

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: He's just got a huge presence as any DC and coops.

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: I have to admire what he's been able to do

86
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: and turn around that sort of image to football.

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: The image everything and it coeps. It's so easy we

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: look to the past. Rose color glasses. We do particularly,

89
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times with the eighties because

90
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: the eighties were more innocent times. I don't know, put

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: it this way. There was less sort of serious analysis

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: on the game. We took play. That's what they were.

93
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: So you look it back at that era Malmourne and

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: get June Miles, Wally Lewis, and you say they're the

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: greatest origin players of all time. But if you talk

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: about the greatest origin players of all times, you've got

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: to start to talk about duc now, and you talk

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: about guys like Ben Hunt as well. What they have

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: given that Marines Jersey. But DCE, it's just that the

100
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: unpredicted in the modern game, with the fast rucks, the unpredictability,

101
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: the very fact that he doesn't know what he's going

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: to do a lot of the time makes him just

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: so difficult to handle. And that and sometimes coops that

104
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: scoop and just go down a short side, hit a

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: cold to sack and then search for plan and b.

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: That's the point of difference for Cherry Evans. The other part,

107
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: if he's going to be targeted, like your brothers come

108
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: out and said that he should be in Latrell's going

109
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: to run through him and over him. When you're half

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: back and you get targeted, you shouldn't shy away from

111
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: that responsibility. For example, if there's going to be inside

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: pressure from the New South Wales forwards trying to smash

113
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: Cherry Evans, it will open up for an inside pass

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: for Ris Walsh. If someone comes from outside the inn

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: to try and pressure Cherry Evans, the short pass will come.

116
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: So if I'm advising DC, it will stand up be

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: the target because if they miss their mark, there'll be

118
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: an opportunity for someone around you. So create space and

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: that's how we can have that impact.

120
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: Defending against unorthodox players is just so difficult. And once

121
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: we played a Test match in ninety eight or ninety

122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: nine against Great Britain and they were just so unorthodox.

123
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Be a tap penalty, to take a tap and all

124
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden they just go bang bamp and throw

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: it out wide and you're going, hey, on a second,

126
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: NRL to clubs, don't do this, you know what I mean,

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: that's not what we expect. So Dally is that if

128
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: you're a defender, you just never react because you just

129
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's going to do.

130
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: And he spins, he turns around, comes back a little

131
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: bit like Jerome Leui, like he will do the same thing.

132
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: He will dance left, dance right. And you know when

133
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: you feel like you've got to be covert, it's actually

134
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: the guy that's a couple of defenders away.

135
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Okay, who wins out of the match?

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: I think I said just before, I'm probably the least

137
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: confident of being in a while. I just feel like

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: there's something in the air about New South Wales for

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: this game too, so Queensland win. I think it's high scoring.

140
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: The reason why I think it's h igh scoring. I

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: just feel like both teams are going to go full

142
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: throttle because they know that it's for New South Wales

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: it's absolutely life on the line, whereas queens they want

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: to want to win it. If I'm Queensland, I'm looking

145
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: to take New South Wales deep and win it with

146
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: a play, Whereas if New South Wales win, I think

147
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: they blow them out the water through intensity and everything else.

148
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: But Queensland to win.

149
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: For me, I'm really confident in New South Wales. Why

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: am I confident? Dylan Edwards, Latroll, Mitchell, Stephen Crichton, they

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: give me a lot of Commerce headline Thursday morning. What

152
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: about blue Thursday? Blue Thursday?

153
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: What about three in a row? Where to now for

154
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: New South Wales?

155
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: You give me had that we have the headline headline

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: a few times, so many times you said it regarding

157
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: South Sydney. For SOUS when you are predicting their future endeavors,

158
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: you predicted based off what they do in defense, not attack,

159
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: and that zero against Manly says a lot of it.

160
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: Their attitude at the moment.

161
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: We spoke to a couple of them after their winning

162
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: as Manly and a few of them said they're super

163
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: confident they can play finals. I'll tell you the situation

164
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: SOUS in fourteenth on fourteen points, eight spot is on

165
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: eighteen they have a decent run in the next period

166
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: of time, But off what you've seen, what four wins

167
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: of their own against Eels, Titans, Broncos, Manly. They're good players,

168
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: touching the ball more than ever before.

169
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: Do you think they can play? The answer is they

170
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: can do. I think they will. I don't think they will.

171
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they will. I think it's they're going

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: to have to go on a long winning run and

173
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: they're going to have to have no drops in form

174
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: and at the moment, I just I want to see

175
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: more of the more of the same, more of this,

176
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: this discipline style football before I go all in on

177
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: a big run.

178
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to wrap up Cody Walker Jack their

179
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: impact on the game, key on Klumb but telling you

180
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: what he's been doing. But I don't think they do either.

181
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be proven wrong. Four wins in a

182
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: row against the Eels, Titans, Broncos were poor and manly decimated.

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: So it's not as if they're winning against teams above

184
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: them or should be. But I just feel like that,

185
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: you know that cold heart, the defense is just not there.

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: They can score points with their players when Latrell's on,

187
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: he's on, and Cody and the like, and Alex Johnson

188
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: can do his thing, But I just, yea, if I'm

189
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: had to call it, I'm saying they don't make it either.

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: Wayne already has a huge presence on what this side

191
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: is doing and this club already, and you can you

192
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: can see the moment he was announced that he's going

193
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: back to South there's been an immediate change in attitude.

194
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I've.

195
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: Been moved on yes and players all of a sudden

196
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: starting to play better than they did before.

197
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: I need that. My gut feel about souths is if

198
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: South Sydney play finals this year, it's a bonus. I

199
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: look at what Souse did over the course at the

200
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and they're starting to experiment. I'll

201
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: talk about Keon in a second, but you're putting him

202
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: in the middle. There's just parts of their game that

203
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I can see that they're experimenting for twenty twenty five

204
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: and so.

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 2: They should be absolutely this is the time to do it,

206
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: and to be fair, if they do make finals, it's

207
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: a remarkable turnaround because five or six weeks ago, one

208
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: of the biggest brands in our game were on its knees.

209
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: They weren't playing well at all, Their best players were

210
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: poor and there was no chance of them. Now they've

211
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: actually got half a sniff and you have to give

212
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: them credit because they've turned it around, and I think

213
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: it is a bit of that experiment. I like that

214
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: their best players are around the football and they're touching

215
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: the ball more than everyone else, which can only be

216
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: a good thing.

217
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Keon Kaluma TANGI outstanding footballer. He's performed. He was the

218
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: best on the field by a way, the other night player.

219
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: I love him playing in the middle. I really like this.

220
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: I like players who try to extend. Basically, you look

221
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: at improvement. Now key On at the moment is in

222
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: the middle. He's still a little bit of playmaking and

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a little rusty, like he's fine. You know, you

224
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: can see at the moment he's just in the early

225
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: stages of playmaking. But I like it. I mean, six

226
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: or seven years ago, Isaiah Yoh moved into the middle

227
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: from the edge and started a bit of play making

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: and he was scratchy. And where he is now. This

229
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about as far as watching South

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Sydney and how they're starting to experiment with their football.

231
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: Two things I like about this is when you don't

232
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: have traditional first receivers in your arms, like Jack White

233
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: and Cody Walker, get them in their preferred position, which

234
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: is one past wide and moving sideways as opposed to

235
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: straight first. I like that. The other part to it

236
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: is when Kem Murray comes back, I would keep it there.

237
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: I would keep Kem Murray and Keyon cleomenting it in

238
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: the middle. Reason being is when one runs, you've always

239
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: got another ball player to step up and pass the football,

240
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: where if they didn't, then Jack and Cody have to

241
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: come in and be that sort of not not awkward,

242
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: but not familiar or comfortable. So keep it doing it.

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: What happens.

244
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: South Sydney's best football always starts through the middle. And

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: I think having Murray and Keon through the middle, which

246
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: makes it a little slightly smaller middle, I think suits

247
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: South Sydney. And you know Jack White and with his

248
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: running thread on the back of that, and I like

249
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: what Cody's doing. I want to do something with Cody

250
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: here for a second, and he had to scratch a

251
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: night out of night cod. It was that type of game.

252
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: It was just a little moment that I thought showed.

253
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: It showed that he is a seven and can manager,

254
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: can really manage a game. And if you're go into

255
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: this set here, Coop, this sets what happens to this set,

256
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: This set loses its way. At the moment, things are

257
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: going good, punching through the middle, but in a second

258
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: it actually starts to lose its way a little bit.

259
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: You can see now it start to lose its way

260
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: and here we go. What he does here, Cody is

261
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: that mainly are on the front foot they're going to

262
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: go and he says, right, I'm not going to try

263
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: to force his set. I'm going to save the set

264
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: and I'm just going to dink the ball behind. Jase.

265
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what Sarby was doing there, he was

266
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: sort of on his way to Woollongong. But you see

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: that with Cody and it's an interesting thing, Coop that

268
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: when you're right on the back foot, sometimes it's not

269
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: going how you like, and you know the opposition's going

270
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: to come at your hard. Just dink it behind. It's

271
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: a great way to save a set.

272
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Another reason why Cam Murray and Keon should play together

273
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 2: because Kepi then Paul Pass didn't get the ball to

274
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: Cody Walker, but your maturity of Cody Walker to be

275
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: able to realize that and kick the ball in behind.

276
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: When I saw Cody Walker put his hand up to

277
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: play on the right side, YEP, I thought, Okay, this

278
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 2: is good because he's actually going to do the right

279
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: thing by the team. If he had a stage saying

280
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: I want to be on the left, that's my favorite side,

281
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: then I would have been okay, now everything's still going

282
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: to have to go left hand side. But him being

283
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: on the right, he's thinking team first, and that decision

284
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: there to kick is a team first.

285
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: Decision, definitely, Coop, what's the biggest statement, best winning Titan's

286
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: history or the worst loss of Warrior's history.

287
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I would like to say that it was the

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Titans on the Gold Coast just because it was home.

289
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: It's the best thing they've done for a long time.

290
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: But I think the storyline is the Warriors were meant

291
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: to know what's happened in rugby league from time to time,

292
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: and I'm happy to say I've got no idea what's

293
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: going on the Warriors because I thought they turned a

294
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: corner for a period of time, won three or whatever.

295
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: But that performance then it was it was bad.

296
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: We're going to talk. We're going to talk about the

297
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Titans first. Let's kip over the Warriors. Coop Sewn Johnson.

298
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Martin solved the puzzle for me.

299
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, I thought they did when they moved Tomorrow Martin

300
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: into that. We hoped we showed it last week. But

301
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what's in your team. I feel the

302
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: Warriors have fallen into this trap that their attack is

303
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: all about the system, the play and the pass. What

304
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean by that is pretend there's no defenders and

305
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: we just run the play that we want. We go

306
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: to here, we come back there and like a train

307
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: and run. The winger puts the ball down on the

308
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: corn formulate. But you come to a game and you

309
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: need forward thrust. You need to recognize that it needs

310
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: to be ball runners, not ball players. And I just

311
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: feel like the halves because they're the ones that get

312
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: the gun when it happens to about the attack need

313
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: to run the ball and play short passes more than

314
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: anything out of the back. Just reset that momentum of

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: forward thrust with a ballplayer and then out the back.

316
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: But I can't solve that coops their defense. They're really

317
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: poor attack and the errors they made an attack really

318
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: fed their poor defense. We'll talk about last year because

319
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: it was successful this whole up.

320
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: The wise thing was it was the greatest things in

321
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: New Zealand rugby leity.

322
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: And that's why I like, you know there's I said

323
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: on the show Sunday Night there's a great rivaly between

324
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: Australia and New Zealand. But I think for most regular leagues,

325
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Australian rebul LEAs approach your heart this because it was

326
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: the best story in reguyl League Glass and the game

327
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: in New Zealand was flying.

328
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: On the back of that, They've had multiple sellouts at

329
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: home and.

330
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Now they're really testing the face of their supporters. But

331
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Coop's last last year, just I'm thinking about this for

332
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: a second, So last year as far as the halves

333
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: are concerned and the playmakers, and remove Wade Egan just

334
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: for a second. There was Sean Shawn Johnson. He was

335
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: that central playmaker and Luke Metcalfe was his six and

336
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: he was essentially a run of the football, so that

337
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: allowed him to keep things pretty simple. At one point

338
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: in the game. On the weekend, we had Sean, we

339
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: had Tomorrow Martin, we had Chanelle Harris de Vita, and

340
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: we also had Dylan Walker, and of course we're on

341
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: top of that Wade Egan. It was just so much

342
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: passing going on and not enough just punch it just

343
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: there wasn't there just wasn't enough ball runners out there.

344
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: Well, to be honest, like, the way to solve the

345
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: riddle we just said it then is have your ballplayers

346
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: running the football. As simple as that sound. Your ballplayers

347
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: need to run the football with a short pass as option.

348
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: One you always speak about like when you get the

349
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 2: ball in your hands, what do your eyes tell you?

350
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: And if your eyes tell you to run, the body

351
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: should follow. And if then you engage a defender, it's

352
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: a short pass is the next option. Then if that

353
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: defenders there, then it's out the back as opposed to

354
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: going through this nice play that you've built during the week.

355
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: It's just like it's this the difference between sixty points

356
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: and whatever is the ability to actually run the ball

357
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: make it impact with one play as opposed to looking

358
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: for that big grand thing that looks pretty it's interesting.

359
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: So it's almost like, see see how Sick fixed their

360
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: puzzle by saying jack to six, which we spoke about

361
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, if you want someone to run

362
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: the ball, put a ball runner there. But you know,

363
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: having to look at the nature of that spine. There's

364
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: no metal for It's almost like right going to who's

365
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: going to be the primary playmaker and who's going to

366
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: feed off that.

367
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: Roger is one Roger run it first? Yeah, so there's

368
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: there's something there that he can he can pull the trigger.

369
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: But we'll see how it happens with tomorrow. Martin Shawn Johnson.

370
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: As I said, my greatest fear going into this year

371
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: was the continuation of a trend that the Warriors have

372
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: had great year, poor year, and unfortunately it's starting to

373
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: go down, starting to go down that route. Let's talk

374
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: about the titles. Sure, fantastic mate, Jaden Campbell, Jaden Campbell,

375
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: six Kier and seven Keatie. He must stay. He's been

376
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal on the one which brings up Aj. I know

377
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: AJ won't like it, but I've said this before. I

378
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: would I love Aj as a fourteen. I don't like

379
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: him as a center a little bit like the Jack

380
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Whiton situation. He can't impact from the centers the way

381
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: he can't use his strengths bring him on after twenty

382
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes pinball and through the middle.

383
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: I disagree. I think AJ's got to be in the

384
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: starting team. Just kid him in there. Get like they're

385
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: not a team that's got that much talent, but they

386
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: just need him in the football tea for long periods

387
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: as opposed to sitting on the bench rough period. I

388
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: love the makeup of what foreign Campbell and Kinney have done.

389
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: If you're an older half, and I can say this

390
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: for an experience when I went to the roosters. When

391
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: you lose a bit of that, like the speed and

392
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: footwork and the ability to break through the line. You

393
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: need six and one to be able to do those

394
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: things for you as long as you can be that

395
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: ballplayer the smarts and create space, then having the footwork,

396
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: the speed and the threat from other guys. And it

397
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 2: looked like I'm not comparing them at all, but it

398
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: was almost like the Broncos spine. You've got four and

399
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: in the middle making decisions like Reynolds. Then you've got

400
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: Campbell and Kenny doing his thing, and it's like Ezra

401
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: Member and Ris Wealth. So there's something there that foreigners

402
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: stumbled upon.

403
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: Well, Coops, the formula that you guys had in twenty seventeen,

404
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: you were the playmaker and in the sixth and one

405
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: were basically two fullbacks. At that point you had Munster

406
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: and Slater and Jaden Campbell a great run of the football.

407
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: Just have a look at this a little bit and

408
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: just explain footwork. Lot of times with footwork, what sets

409
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: up your footwork is your fade. Now, Jaden by him

410
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: fading there, what he's trying to get Dylan Walker to

411
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: do is to chase him a defender should move up

412
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: at ninety degree. He's nice and straight, but when an

413
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: attacking player who's got speed, when they fade on reception,

414
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: it really tests the nerve of that tight defender. And

415
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: you see Dylan Walker couldn't help himself. He just chased him.

416
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: The little Q was his going left and the hips

417
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: turned out. But that is so good that foot work

418
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: like that he's separated from that left foot probably a

419
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: mere and a half like that is top end stuff.

420
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: But the ability for him to do that, Notice that

421
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: he had Dylan Walker big left footstep. There's just reasons

422
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: why this kid just needs to be in the football team.

423
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: He might have just found his position. Yeah, he had

424
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 2: a terrific day at him and forum were great, but.

425
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: That he is good, very good. That's very good, mate.

426
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: I love the Storm Dolphins game. Talk about trade forward

427
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: just quickly and just like this is just a beautiful

428
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: little moment right at the back end of the game

429
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: where they're chasing. Have a look at this pass from

430
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Trade Fuller. This is the best instinctive pass I've just

431
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: about ever seen. Look at this and wosh.

432
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: It's going to hit the touchy live dead set forward

433
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: that Osaka was nowhere near. But he knows that they're

434
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: out there and that wing has come in. That is

435
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: it's a very good pass.

436
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: What about all these like what about all the backup fullbacks?

437
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: We get a bit like So we've got trade Fuller

438
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: Toolpicky Kini Sewer fire Longer and Lehi Hoppowadi who Ji Gray.

439
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: But there seems to be this like new body shape

440
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: of the live white fullback. Get them a couple of

441
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: passes wide, get them up against retrendo fans. That full

442
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: work back inside to beat Nelson was pretty special to

443
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: start with from fuller. But yeah, there seems to be

444
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: a little shift in that fullback who can really hit

445
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: the accelerate and break it open.

446
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: Majorome Hughes Coops, I mean said this Sunday night. He's

447
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the perfect twenty twenty four playmaker in the fact, great

448
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: run of the football, and he's made himself into a

449
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: very very good playmaker. You know, he's built, you know,

450
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: going to the Melbourne Storm. He began as a fullback

451
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: and bit by bit he's added the playmaking the kicking

452
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: to his game.

453
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: And the other part too is no monster and he's

454
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: forced himself to be the main man. So it's got

455
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: to give Craig Bellamy confidence that when Munster comes back

456
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: that he has guys that can go back and forth

457
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: and take over. And it's almost like shoes a monster.

458
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: There's no one dominant player. When they're on the field together.

459
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: They share the touches, they share the kicking, and when

460
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: one's on the other one just goes for it and

461
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: the other one sits back and does the things that's

462
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: required for the team. So they've got a good balance.

463
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: And he's been super last.

464
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: Periodkaitara, she's a love him as a player. It's tough.

465
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: He's old fashioned, smart tactically, is really aware. Just you know,

466
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: on the weekend he was just hearing that side around

467
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: the park. He's just a I mean's he's already a

468
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: really really good player. I mean he's going to be

469
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: some sort of player in a few years time.

470
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, so represented Tonga already. He will be a gun

471
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: representative player about it.

472
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Boy.

473
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: He will choose his path whichever way he wants to go.

474
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: But he has got rep footy written all over him.

475
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: In an age where there's not miles of top tier

476
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: playmakers coming through for years time. We can ask his price.

477
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you could probably sit here right now and

478
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: say that Save Cart represents New South Wales. You've got

479
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 2: probably Sam Walker being the one that maybe for Queensland.

480
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: But they are two different players, but two with high

481
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: end intelligence and skills that probably either end of the

482
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: spectrum when it comes to half back play. But they'll

483
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 2: be budding heads for a long time. Those two.

484
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Hey Tigers were good. Good on Benji. A tough run.

485
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: He must have been going, where's this winter? And that's

486
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: what Coobson. This is a great thing for Benji, for

487
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: him personally is there is a saying which is true,

488
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: a coach doesn't know what type of coach he's going

489
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: to be until he's in a long, losing run and

490
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: he's going, how the hell am I going to get

491
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: out of this? And at the moment they've got out

492
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: of it.

493
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what type of coach Benji is. He's

494
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: going to be the same he was a player. Their

495
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: first set after halftime, this is a team that's up

496
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: eighteen to twelve. They shift the ball on the third

497
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: play and they do this. It was Caesar, it was

498
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: getting the ball back across, Galvin Buller, all the guys involved,

499
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: and they score a try literally the third player the

500
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: second half. This is a team that's lost nine games

501
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: one last week, then do this in the second half.

502
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: Like me as a half bank, I'd be conservative, getting

503
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: to the rhythm of the game and kick it out.

504
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: The thing with Benji is he's all risk, all reward

505
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: and wanted them to play exactly the same way that

506
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 2: they did in the first half in the second. The

507
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: danger part for this there's going to be high highs

508
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: and low loader because Penrith aren't going to let you

509
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: strip down the side of the field off the third play.

510
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: The good defensive teams will tackle Buller, force him back,

511
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: and then you'll be on the back foot to start

512
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: the second half. So I think you're going to get

513
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: a bit of like good performance bad performance. That's going

514
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: to be the inconsistency and coops.

515
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: They can't play that way. You can't can't go into

516
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: that way and say right, we're going to play that

517
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: way for eighty minutes.

518
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: You can't be full throttle the whole time. And there's

519
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: the development of Galvin till a point. But when to

520
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: hit the accelerator, when not, when to go and shift

521
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: the ball wide, when to complete the sets and here

522
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: will get there. That's his eleventh game. But I'll tell

523
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: you what, it was a very impressive performance. There's something

524
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: about when the Tigers win, it's actually good for the game.

525
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: I like it was enjoyable.

526
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: It's a great working class club. It's got a huge

527
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: supporter base.

528
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

529
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: One of the things I really liked about watching there

530
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: was elements with Dewey coming into the side. There was

531
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: elements of what the Bulldogs are we doing that through

532
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: the field. There was Caesar, there was Galvin, there was Dewey,

533
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: So you had a number of players you could in

534
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: and do a little bit of everything, and it just

535
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: allowed him just to have a little bit more edge

536
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: in attack able to move the football. But like we

537
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: said before, when they went in very much a mindset,

538
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: they can't let the end of that game get mixed up.

539
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: At the start of next week when they played the Dragons,

540
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: you could see that they going right, let's get out

541
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: there and really push the ball around, and they're just

542
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: not good enough side to do that for the eighty minutes.

543
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: They can do it for a period, but then they

544
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: got to revert back.

545
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: And I like that on that left edge. Sam Fainer,

546
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: the back rower, like when you talk about you want

547
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: to see green shoots. Galvin Feinu and Buller at the back.

548
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: There's a bit of an option there as a ballplayer,

549
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: you can lean on and go to that. So the

550
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: Tigers artist score points. I think that left side through

551
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: that three player combination might be their go to.

552
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: A new beauty. Brandon Smith mate, he'd had hell of

553
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. He took full responsibility for

554
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: it as he did. He wasn't bullshitting around and you know,

555
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: blaming media and all that sort of stuff that people

556
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: do sometimes. He just said, it's me. I've got to

557
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: fix it. It's all my fault. I thought he was.

558
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was terrific.

559
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: Ye, he did what he had to do. It was

560
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: a good response. And then the key is to respond again,

561
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: right like that's the thing that needs to grow from here.

562
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: You know the roosters very well. If they weren't interested

563
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: directing when they let him go to Seouth.

564
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: Sydney and help you money, well, no, that is one

565
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: thing that's never again.

566
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: I asked a question, I knew where the answer was

567
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: going to be. Thanks Coops,
