WEBVTT - Edwards Looks Fried' | Why Mahoney Must Start | Madge v Stuart Clash | Code NRL Finals Preview 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.639 Not going to be critical of the Locky Galvin signing 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:03.320 because I think it was the right play. I would 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:05.440 still be starting read money at night though. The worst 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.880 thing that happened for Cannonry was the fact that Lockie 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.119 Gavin was available mid year. If you said to me, 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.240 why can't Penrith win the comp for mine? It's the 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:13.800 form of Dylanna. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.959 It's the fittest blood just spent in rugby league. It 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:18.040 has been for a long time. 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.520 Looks Sharks brosters. I think this will be an aerial 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:23.680 assault of the wingers. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.959 We as might decide this game. I think how often 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:26.599 you say that. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.440 There's coaching tension between Magine Ricky. What's the storyline At 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:32.040 the end of the day. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.360 It's going to be all the fullbacks, I think. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.920 Welcome to a very special finals edition of The Code 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.720 NRL Show with Brent Reid, Reedy and Michael Carranas. Let's 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.599 rip into it, Boys, Boys, Big Story Yesterday broken by 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.320 Mickey Carrianas. Read Marny acts from the Bulldogs side to 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.920 face the Melbourne storm down at Amy Park. Read Man 0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:00.440 Big Story Marney out Toby Sexton in Yeah. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.440 Caught me by surprise, definitely when you started to filter 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.640 through around that selection, Like not so much the fact 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.920 that Red Money's out of the seventeen, right, because for mine, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.000 read Money either starts or he doesn't play, So I 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.399 can understand that. I just think it's a lot of 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:22.280 change at the Bulldogs in a short period when you know, 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.320 at this time of most clubs are looking for for stability, right, 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.520 So like, I'm not going to be critical of the 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.000 Lucky Galvin signing because I think it was the right play, right, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.040 I would still be starting read Money at nine though, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:38.800 I just think he's defensively a little bit better by 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.280 Bailey's going to be a really good player, right, But 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.520 I don't think Bailey's got the legs at the moment 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.080 to play eighty minutes at the intensity that is required, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.600 particularly in a finals game. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.480 You mentioned too much change. Doesn't it simplify things because 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.520 they're making less changes because Sexton's really only going to 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.840 get into the game if there's a half that goes down. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.400 So Baylee's gonna play any minute hook. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:04.919 Or give a breathe. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.680 That to Haywood, Well that's a change because how much 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.640 all time has toty sex and playing it at hooker? 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.160 No, not much, But I don't think it's he's going 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.720 to be playing massive minutes there. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.320 He might need to. Bailey could get knocked out, you know, right. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.880 But I think when when we were as well, when 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.840 you sit down and break the changes, obviously you've got 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.800 the galbum money, right, huge change, huge change. The minute 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.239 of the year, you've got the dummy half change, massive change. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:28.560 Right. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.799 Then you've got a subtle change with what Stephen Crichton 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.919 is doing at fullback where he's attacking as sorry Stephen Crichton, 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.600 what he's doing when he's attacking. When Canterbury attacking, he 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.160 goes to fullback, Connor Tracy transitions to right center now right, 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.720 I one hundred percent agree with that because getting Stephen 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.600 Cryden with the hands on. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.079 The ball more. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.200 But it's another change, right, So I just think they've 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.880 run out of runway. That's my concern for Canterbury. All 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.880 the changes I understand, I get, and I'm not really 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.760 going to argue with, although I will personally start with 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:58.760 Reid Marney at nine. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.079 But I'm just not sure they've got enough time to 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.000 get it all going. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:03.920 I think he had to do something because they're not 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.480 playing well, haven't played well for a while. Now what 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.160 intrigues me about Sexton is if things aren't going well 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.480 in this game, if things aren't going to plan, if 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.960 things aren't working, will will they think with. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.440 His halves, Will he take Galvin Willy or. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.959 Move Galvin the six, move Burton? I don't know. I'm 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.920 just saying that option is there now, right, So I 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.720 wonder where I'm sure Cam's saying to Galvan, don't worry you, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.760 my half back. Nothing's going to change. But things aren't 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.880 going well in Melbourne. Given the way they've been playing 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.440 and the way Lachman struggled himself and I with Mick, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.200 I think long term they've made the right move, like 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.800 Galvin will work out in the long run. He's too 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.160 good a play not to I just wonder whether now, 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.480 if things just say that they're losing and I look 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.920 poor in the first half, does he pull a trigger 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:49.800 to try and get them back into the game. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.560 He wouldn't be the first coach to do it, because 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.360 guys remember in sixteen when Shane Flanagan took Chad towns 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:57.240 and off the field. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.520 I don't remember that. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.720 I remember, Yeah, it was a huge call at the time. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.920 He took the starting half back off the field. It was, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.680 but that was and they ended up winning the game. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:06.480 That was one change. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.160 Yeah, this would be one change. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.480 We've seen a lot of mine is We've seen a 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.160 lot of change. And then. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.400 Flin was pretty steadfast and that press confistrate after that, No, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.159 Chad still our half back. They got around Chad right, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.880 there was a huge in the moment. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.400 Of the game. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.719 Potentially the worst thing that happened for Canarbury was the 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.520 fact that Lockie Gavin was available mid year. Right in 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.880 an ideal scenario, in an world, he would have finished 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.520 the year at the West Tigers and they would have 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.000 parachuted him at the end of the season. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.760 I think the point is we're never letting him go. Remember, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.160 I don't think they were going to win. I don't 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.599 think they were going to win the premiership with Sex 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.000 and the seven. So that they took a throw at 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.240 the stumps because make better reading, not just in a 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.560 long degree, it's going to make a small dangerous team 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.560 in the short term. Now it hasn't worked out that way, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.559 right and even before he got there, they were starting 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.200 to get the wobbles a little bit with Sex. The 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.440 new pointed out David Sex and stats I think it 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.159 was in Canberra, so they were getting the wobbles already 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.360 and this is just sort of it's sort of snowboard 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.239 snowboard right, nothing's changed. I think we all thought. I thought, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.560 you get Calvin in there, you're a better football side, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.599 you're more dangerous, you'll pick up some steam again. But 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.640 they haven't. They're just sort of treading water at the moment. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.080 I appreciate the focus on the biggest talking points at 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.120 the Dogs. He's the spine, but boys, I can't get 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.359 away from the fact the Dogs identified their biggest issue 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.840 a long time ago when they signed Leo Thompson. They 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.640 indicated right there and then that they weren't convinced in 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.200 their pack and I feel as though that is still 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.520 their achilles heel. You think about there, that Rooster's performance, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.960 the Roosters just powered through them. Then last week Kranulla 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.720 with their when the Shark's bench came on, they just 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.760 kept on rolling straight through them. Max King has had 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.400 an incredible season, a career high season, but it's also 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.320 taken some juice out of him. And then Sam Hughes 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.599 here's a young prop. Like there's no expectation that Sam 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.719 Hughes is a dominant front rower in the game. And 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.159 I just feel as though, as much as the focus 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.320 is on the halves and to your point that they've 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.800 lost their way, I think it's pack related. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.600 Would say, only two weeks ago they went down to Melbourne, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.279 very unlucky line, very unlucky. Not so I don't they're 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.800 not without hope going down to Melbourne. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.240 I give them a big chance. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.440 Yeah, I don't forgive'm a big chance. I'll give them 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.320 an outside chance. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.480 They will be close, Like they're not going to get embarrassed. No, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:31.560 they won't get embarrassed. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.840 So yeah, I remember have got a few hours well 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.080 obviously paps and drying. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:35.719 Yeah. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.840 I like if you said these are all the changes 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.080 they are going to make at the end of the season, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:40.839 I'll be like sweet. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:41.600 That's why. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.080 It's just my concern is that so many so soon 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.640 with not a lot of lead lay. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.279 Yeah. Is there a world we live in? And this 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:57.560 will sound crazy, but it almost becomes like whatever we 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:02.760 do now is a bonus for next year, like where 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.159 we're just getting runs on the board to get some 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.760 experience in the finals when we're yeah, we're. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.920 He guarantee we make it. You're no guarantee to make 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:12.560 it next day. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.480 Really like, I understand what you're saying, Like you're building 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.680 the foundations the long term, right, and that's the Lockie signing, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:19.440 no doubt. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:19.880 Right. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.440 But this this could be the last time this group 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.800 finishes in the top four. I don't think it will be, 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.360 but this could be the last time, right. So they've 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.280 gone all into to win it this year. And there's 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.440 what these changes for that you know they've actual read 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.120 money because they believe that Baylor will give a better 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.520 chance to win this weekend. Right, So I get it. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.240 It's an all in play. I'm so intrigued to see 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.880 how it's going to play out because it's it's. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.680 So uncommon for us to see. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.560 And that's not to say it's not it's not the 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.400 right thing, but at the moment, I don't think it's 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.840 a it's a winning rotation. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.320 It is the second final of the weekend over in 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.200 New Zealand. I can't wait to see the atmosphere and 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.440 the crowd. As far as this warriors the Panthers clash 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.840 history between the two coaches having worked together Webster and 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:17.160 Ivan Cleary. Everyone feels as though this is a Panther's victory. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.200 Can the Warriors do something here? Can they win this game? 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.600 No, I don't. I don't think so. I don't, I don't, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:26.960 I don't think so. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.600 I just think you know, I saw him play at 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.400 Brookie on the weekend and they're just a side that 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.400 have had too many obstacles to overcome. They've had an 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.240 outstanding season. You talk about foundation blocks for next year, Well, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.240 it's all there for the Warriors, right, It's all set 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.920 up nicely for him to mount a top four charge 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:46.400 next year. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.160 I just think. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.880 The Panthers just know how to get it done and 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.360 they'll probably do enough to win. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.440 I'm not putting along for them. They can't win the comp. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.240 There's no doubt they can't win the camp. But I 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.480 reckon they got eighty good minutes in them, and I 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:04.679 reckon they can at home full house amounts, smart or 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.559 whatever it's called now. I think they've got eighty minutes 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.120 in them and they can have one red hot go 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.000 and maybe maybe produce the stunning upset because it would 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.640 be and Penrith have been. Look, they've won a lot 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.920 of games in the back end of the year. Remarkable. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.360 What they've done is remarkable to get to where they 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.080 are from being where they last up to twelve rounds. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.520 I won I think ten of their past thirteen games 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.560 or something, so it's a huge, huge task. But I 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.199 just think the warror is I just reckon that if 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.520 they can turn up. I've been twenty minutes only apen 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.520 twenty get ahead, start, come out, you know, fly out 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.839 the blocks, put some points on, get the winner in 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.480 their sales, get that crowd behind them. I'm not willing 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.880 to say they can't win this game. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.800 Boys, did this come from Rugby League Fantasy Land? Did 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.800 you pick up on this tip? There's a little bit 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.440 of whispers around the game at the point of which 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.640 when Ivan decided to rest sixteen players. The tip went 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.760 that the Panthers all sat around and went through all 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.800 the machinations of what could potentially happen in the finals, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.240 and the one game they didn't want to looking want 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.080 to happen was a trip to New Zealand. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.760 Yeah. Remember you're telling me that story is. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.440 They didn't want to go to New Yeah, this was 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.000 the This was the tip because of the travel, travel, 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.680 the impact on your recovery if you win the you know, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.079 going over earlier, it's a tough place. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:29.560 To play. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.800 I don't think Pendeth theear anyone that plays back if 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.680 that was, I don't. I don't know what, honestly, I don't. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.280 I don't know that. I don't feel like. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.679 New mathematiciansagors theory. 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.959 I think parents feel like they could beat anyone anyway. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:42.480 Of course they can. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.160 Yeah, for mine, it's a non issue. I think they're 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:46.800 gonna win the comp. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:48.600 Hurt what. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.360 The four time premiers, right, and they can win the camp. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.280 They were already back track. They will. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.680 They're the ones I've tip to win the comp. Sorry, 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.040 Penrith fans, I'll bet camer in the Grand final. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.760 In saying that, in declaring that massive call that Penrith 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.080 will become the first team to win the premiership from 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.360 outside the top four, yes, you also believe Dylan Edwards 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.760 will find his best form. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.520 My major concern for Penrith is Dylan Edwards, no doubt. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.160 Forget everything else that's gone on with Penrith this year. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.040 This is a genuine concern because he looks like he's 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.679 lacking self confidence. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.480 He's he looks to me, he's like he's he's the 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.040 fittest blood just about in rugby league. Right. It has 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.000 been for a long time. 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:41.600 He looks it looks like he's losing contest in the air, right, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.720 But the concerning thing was he dropped a bomb against 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.640 the Dragons last week, then he made a play theball 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.320 era like these are errors that were plagued him when 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.880 he first started, right, and haven't been a constant this year. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.240 And for mine, the only question mark I have on 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.439 Penrith at the moment to go in and winning the 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.480 premiership is the form of Ellan Edwards. 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.280 You've got to understand too. I think we have to 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.440 give them some leeway. They are not robots. These guys 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.960 have been up for four years, call it five if 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:13.040 you want to. And Dylan Edwards has been the constant. Yeah, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:17.400 remarkable and at some point the energy levels despite the 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.839 fact that of course you're running out onto that field 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.160 and I'm saying, I'm saying I want to win today. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.680 I want to win today. But there has to be 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.800 a small percentage of juice sapped from everything there. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.920 But he's the only one at the moment for me 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.480 that there that looks like that. Yeah, Like I don't 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:35.800 see it in Nathan, I don't see it, HISSI I 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.120 don't say it Lean Mark, I don't see it in 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.320 any of the other players. So my concern number one 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.199 concern for me if you said to me, why can't 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:44.959 Penrith win the comp For mine, it's the form of 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:45.720 Dylan Edwards at the. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.920 Moment Boys Saturday Night, Shark Park five e eight Sharks 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.760 fver is is I think this will be an aerial 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.960 assault of the wingers. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:54.880 Yeah, agreed, Well it has to be. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.640 I mean, you've got Daniel Risk of Daniel two Mark 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.280 on their wings. If you're not putting the ball up 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.800 up in the air with Sam Walker's kicking game, you're 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.880 not doing the right thing, So I mean clearly, and 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.320 Renaldo Ronaldo is obviously outstanding in the air as well, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.360 So you're right, Dave. I'm looking forward to It should 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.760 be a great game and the wingers. Wingers might decide 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.760 this game. I think so often you say. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.600 That I legitimately believe this and I reckon at some 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.640 point Mark mark these words. On Saturday Night, we're going 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.200 to be staring at the video screen and we're going 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.520 to be looking at an escort. We're going to be 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.760 looking at an escort. Did he move his shoulder. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.320 On his stags like just ye deliberately taking did. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.480 His eyes look at the player or the ball? You 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.160 know how they're doing this stuff now? Seriously, body language 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.600 experts in the in the bunker, because. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.120 Those guys are so entertaining, particularly Mark, the guys in 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:56.360 the bunker in the air human case. People complain about 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.360 the game cheap game become a bit predictable just kicking 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.559 on the QUI chief the line. But then I love 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:02.959 seeing those blokes fly through the year. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.959 Do you guys have it? I've never had an issue 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:06.160 tries off kicks. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.480 I do. I just think it's a cheap way to 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.319 the try line. I love them, look the athletic geniuses. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.560 There is a predictability, a predictability about it. There is 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.200 predictively you should stop it, but there is nothing well 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.840 there's sometimes it's just I'm taller than you. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.240 Yeah, there's nothing predictable about predictable about Mark. No way 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.600 on the ground everywhere. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.480 I've never had an issue with tries off kicks. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.680 Yeah right, I think this one will a. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:41.120 Vertically challenged man. That's well, you played league, did you? 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:42.200 You're the shortest person. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.440 That's true. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.560 Sammy Walker's kicking game will be almost he actually got 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.560 cronulla a couple of times, firstly in Gosford earlier this year, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.720 then again at Sharpon Park. I think it's absolutely Sammy Walker, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:56.960 it's great to see. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.480 Let's ask the rule. Firstly, are you glad? 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.000 Where do you think the Roosters should finish up this Yearyo? 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.800 That will clearly the bookmakers agree with me because they 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.120 are short price favorites, the eighth team short priced favorites 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.120 against the fifteen. 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.960 So have they had a good year or bad? Your day? 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:15.400 Where do you. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.640 Assess that your your turns come? And be careful? 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.560 I'm I think they've had a decent year. They had 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.680 to overcome some injuries. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.320 Average year. What do you think it knocked out Week 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.120 one of the finals. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.000 I think that's an underachievement for the Roosters. If you 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.320 ask the Sydney Roosters where they think they should be running, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.600 I don't think eighth is the answer. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.040 I think they would have taken it at the start 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.400 of the year. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.320 Okay it's the start of the year. But the rosters 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.680 the roster, they've got five origin players, They've got the 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.360 Dallian player here and James Tedesco. If you dropped Teddy 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.000 into any of the other top eight teams, you've made 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.280 the case for Dylan Edwards earlier. Teddy would be enormous 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.960 for win the camp Cana enormous for Cornella Canela win the. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.640 Comp if they had James d Escott fullback. Anyway, what 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:58.280 do you reckon, Dave? 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.920 Yeah, they absolutely go close, he said, you said they 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.840 win the game. That's the difference going what you got from. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.040 Look what you got, Sam Walker. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.600 I love the kid I spoke in this week is 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:14.040 a ripper. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.080 What's the context of your article coming out with? 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.840 It's inside the brain of a rugby league savant. A 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.760 genius is what I think about building around because he 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.240 is a rugby league genius, Sam Walker. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.720 Was he aware well to come back when you spoke 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:30.040 to him? 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.280 Was he aware of the claim that you were making 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:34.040 that he was a genius? 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.320 I said, I don't want to go inside. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.560 No, no, no, not that claim that he said he probably 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:39.320 shouldn't play again. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.160 Please breath. And that's the tweets and everything puts on 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:43.200 Instagram every week. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.640 He was aware I took a pH of. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:47.040 About you. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.440 He did. He did a slag Sami, Sam. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:56.920 I've spoken several times. He finds the music like you idiot, 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.640 But I mean that as I said numerous times, that 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.960 got completely content. I said, if throughout a finals contention, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.399 and they were not out of finals contention, and at 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.280 the time I thought he was coming back in August 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.399 and you know what, dropping your phone and yeah, there 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.960 were some people close to him who were of that belief. Yeah, 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.280 so I just parroted what they were saying. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:19.880 So we done. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.440 Yeah, anyway, that worked out well. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.280 Boys. This has sold out g Io Stadium Sunday afternoon 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:33.680 Rugby League. Thanks mister Abdsten. I appreciate that. Broncos Raiders, 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.280 there's an increasing tension between these two teams. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.640 What's going on there is you've had the the bus, Yeah, 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:41.520 what's to go there? 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:47.040 There's there's there's coaching tension between Marge and Ricky. But 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.040 at the same time there's club the club. There's club 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.720 the club tension. And it all started back in round 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.880 two with the bus situation of when the Broncos pulled 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:57.480 up at the front gates and said, hang on a secon, 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.760 why aren't we going through the gates and the Raiders said, well, 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:00.720 we've changed out. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:01.679 The storm the gates. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.560 Anyway, It's all I found it ridiculous. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.240 Are they friends? 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.679 No? I don't think they are friends either, Dave, you 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.280 know better than me, But I don't think they're No, 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.679 I don't think they're best mates when they speak that often. 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.199 And you know, Ricky obviously gave Madge a bit of 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.479 a lifeline when he left the West Tigers, brought it, 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.600 brought him back into coaching and their Madge obviously took 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.000 the News at Wales job and left there. So I 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.000
