Speaker 1: Better than the Lego coup. Like the Queensland saw.
Speaker 2: It, love It, Love it Underdogs.
Speaker 1: We just do something dogs, I think for the benefit
Speaker 1: of this podcast, can we just put our state bias.
Speaker 2: I know we're drawing the line straight down the middle here.
Speaker 1: As one of the greatest New South Wales players.
Speaker 3: You were one of the greatest Queensland players. Games for
Speaker 3: you delivered as a few.
Speaker 1: That's why, hence why I only played full games. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I do a lot of talking points around both teams, right,
Speaker 3: Like I think the Queensland team is pretty much picks
Speaker 3: itself at different stages. Billy's got this culture that he's
Speaker 3: driven for a long period of time. The Munster injury,
Speaker 3: it was almost was there that Dinner was going to
Speaker 3: jump straight in. He's got origin character ristics written all
Speaker 3: over him. The Hammers back in form, Reese Walsh at fullback.
Speaker 3: They're probably a little bit thin with no Tino and
Speaker 3: no Flegler, probably a little bit light in the front row.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but Harry Groan on the bench, dynamic and
Speaker 3: selling Cobo.
Speaker 1: Thing that's interesting it is it is was sell and
Speaker 1: sell On is just one of those guys and he
Speaker 1: can win your series.
Speaker 3: Well I think Selwyn been on the bench. Like I think,
Speaker 3: if you don't put an outside back on the bench,
Speaker 3: you run the risk of hia injury to someone in
Speaker 3: the outside back. So there's a little bit of cover there.
Speaker 3: But if you remember when Ponger was playing well and
Speaker 3: everyone's talking about it's going to be a resal Ponger,
Speaker 3: I think Billy was trying to think of a way
Speaker 3: how to get Ponger and Reese into the same team,
Speaker 3: and maybe he devised a plan where he goes, you
Speaker 3: know what, actually Sell and Cobbo could do this, probably
Speaker 3: a bigger body, so I'd be really interested to see
Speaker 3: its cover number one. But let's say everything's fit and healthy.
Speaker 3: He just might have a plan for Cobo to come
Speaker 3: in and do something.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. So I didn't think about that because we've
Speaker 1: spoken about this before. We said, can he go with
Speaker 1: the Harry Grant ben Hunt combination at but still have
Speaker 1: Rehys Walsh and Pongner And we immediately thought probably not.
Speaker 1: I said, yes, did you really?
Speaker 2: I did? I want to be on the record, I.
Speaker 1: Want to have a look at this.
Speaker 3: But I think he might have hatched a plan and
Speaker 3: go on, Actually, you know what, I'm going to revisit that.
Speaker 2: Who else can do it?
Speaker 1: Coops the big one. No day for Feeder.
Speaker 4: It's surprised just about everyone. Why got no idea? But
Speaker 4: you know, personal opinion. I like Peter Kurra. I really
Speaker 4: like he's in the extended bench. I think he has
Speaker 4: got origin written all over him. If you're the argument
Speaker 4: is can David play any minutes? Does his fitness levels?
Speaker 4: Does it play a part? There's a couple of ways
Speaker 4: you can look at it. I really like what Peter
Speaker 4: ker brings to a team he's delivering this year. The
Speaker 4: other one you could have used is this is probably
Speaker 4: the way I look at it is you start Ruben
Speaker 4: Cotterer in the back row and you put for Feeder
Speaker 4: on the bench. Your first interchange is Ruben Cotta goes
Speaker 4: to the front row and that replaces someone and then
Speaker 4: David Feeder on. He plays forty fifty sixty minutes there.
Speaker 4: But Billy I know he sits in his little chamber
Speaker 4: at home and watches every game.
Speaker 2: So there's a reason why.
Speaker 1: I think it's a respect for Madge too, why he
Speaker 1: didn't pick him. I think if there's one air of
Speaker 1: his game with Dave, it's probably his defensive application roxall diamonds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that Billy. I think it's a wrap
Speaker 1: for Madge him having a look at it. I remember
Speaker 1: the twenty you play first one in the com two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven two thousand and seven competition, him hatching
Speaker 1: a plan for anthy Wa maote remember, and I think
Speaker 1: the Billy would look and go. Madge is very good
Speaker 1: at this.
Speaker 3: And the other thing too, is you think about not
Speaker 3: that this would have come into Billy's selection process, but
Speaker 3: New South Wales had definitely gone down a character discipline, toughness,
Speaker 3: consistent sort of personality, trading their team, and maybe the
Speaker 3: way that Dave comes in and out of contest. Billy thought, oh,
Speaker 3: you know what, I need to stick to my guns.
Speaker 1: Here. One more thing just there talking about Bill. It's
Speaker 1: really funny watching coaches come into state of origin and
Speaker 1: the high pressure environment of state of origin, and most
Speaker 1: of them come in sort of fairly white and bubbly.
Speaker 2: All the jokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I reckon the only one that hasn't that
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it was mal like you mouse, He gets, well,
Speaker 1: I've seen Billy. The press conference yesterday morning on Monday
Speaker 1: morning is Billy had prickly, you know, like, because there's
Speaker 1: always going to be journalists there that aren't probably they're
Speaker 1: being sent there that aren't hardcore ragularly fans, and you're
Speaker 1: going to get questions that are naive and you know
Speaker 1: I and oftentimes you get coaches they'll just float with it.
Speaker 1: Billy just it was just a bit of an edge
Speaker 1: to Bill.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Origin coaches sit there twenty four to seven
Speaker 3: and know everything about their team, and they might get
Speaker 3: a couple of questions that end up being a little
Speaker 3: bit off script or whatever, and they do buy it.
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is Origin.
Speaker 3: Is a beast with how much exposure it gets, so
Speaker 3: a lot of people want to know and ask questions.
Speaker 3: The thing about Bill is the one that I noticed
Speaker 3: is I think Kevin Walters said something about Reese Walsh
Speaker 3: in terms of he's so dynamic that he needs to
Speaker 3: iron out a couple of those rough edges and said
Speaker 3: he needs to take a chill pill. And one of
Speaker 3: the questions was you're going to tie Reese Walsh up
Speaker 3: and say no, chill, take some chill pills in camp,
Speaker 3: and Billy, through his own experiences that live wife fullback,
Speaker 3: said no, I want Reese to be Reese. There is
Speaker 3: no chill pills going on with Reese, and I understand
Speaker 3: it because.
Speaker 1: His words were no pills in this camp.
Speaker 2: Well I said chill.
Speaker 1: Pills, which I thought it was a little.
Speaker 3: Now I think that Rehys Walsh could be the guy,
Speaker 3: like if you look at everyone in this both teams,
Speaker 3: like he has got the biggest ceiling of the game,
Speaker 3: Like he can just do things that not too many
Speaker 3: other players have. So the last thing Billy wants to
Speaker 3: do is say, hey mate, I want to clip your
Speaker 3: edges here. He wants him full throttle and everyone else
Speaker 3: will worry about the other stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to bloke out there. He's going to
Speaker 1: go and try to win the game, not lose it.
Speaker 3: Well, and you look at New South Wales many and
Speaker 3: they've gone down that whole character discipline thing and don't
Speaker 3: really have that genuine like out and out start compared
Speaker 3: to Reese Wald that.
Speaker 1: Maverick. You could just do something out of nothing. It's
Speaker 1: a good look in Queensland. Excuse me. New South Wales side.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's a fit side. It's a gutsy side,
Speaker 1: tough side side that can play for eighty minutes. It's
Speaker 1: a very Queensland side.
Speaker 3: I definitely think he's made a few statements with my
Speaker 3: own his choice, like the obvious one Teddy and Edwards right, honestly,
Speaker 3: they're both so so good they could be in the
Speaker 3: one jersey and you wouldn't sort of go oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I get it sort of thing. But he's definitely made
Speaker 3: a statement with I think with Teddy out and put
Speaker 3: Edwards in. The Other statement he's made is Ken mc ginnis. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like he puts his head in places we don't put
Speaker 3: our feet or anything, right, and he's trying to from
Speaker 3: the outside looking at in. This is me guessing with
Speaker 3: no intel the outside looking in. I think McGuire's gone, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm going to survey a few people. They think about
Speaker 3: the OROQ New South Wales team and they go, well,
Speaker 3: we want some tough, tenacious, character driven guys are never
Speaker 3: going to let the state down. And he's stuck to
Speaker 3: his mantra and then he's gone for those type of
Speaker 3: players we spoke with.
Speaker 1: This last week, and you having Isaac starting the game
Speaker 1: in particular with J JR. Voievitch and Isaiah can be
Speaker 1: problematic because they both play a similar role and the
Speaker 1: ball will go sideways more than you really want. And
Speaker 1: he's done that. He's put Isaiah at fourteen. Start with McGinnis.
Speaker 1: Look to bring Isaiah on once a bit of the
Speaker 1: cut and thrusters out of the contests. Use McGinnis a
Speaker 1: little later.
Speaker 4: For Robson, the McGinnis peek at starting is purely get
Speaker 4: your best defensive team on the field to start the
Speaker 4: game and then if they get to a lead, get
Speaker 4: your best defensive team back on the field.
Speaker 3: That's mcinness's role. He will tackle himself to a sense
Speaker 3: or the other. And from a Queenslander, the guy that
Speaker 3: I fear the most in New South Wales team is
Speaker 3: paynhuss I think he's a genuine star of our competition.
Speaker 3: What he has been through, what he is, what he's playing.
Speaker 3: He's so so good and not too many players playing
Speaker 3: the front row that I feel like has the keys.
Speaker 2: To success in their football team. I think it's Payinhause
Speaker 2: and this team for me.
Speaker 1: Is that young bloke has not been given enough credit
Speaker 1: for how he has held himself with what he is
Speaker 1: enduring at the moment, and.
Speaker 3: He hasn't Like you're going to critique pain like he's
Speaker 3: dominated the NRL every time, but he hasn't truly truly
Speaker 3: dominated an Origin game. And I feel the way that
Speaker 3: this game or this team, the style that New South
Speaker 3: Wales will play. It'll be high percentage, it'll be tough,
Speaker 3: they'll do all the basics really well. They'll fight over
Speaker 3: a five cent piece on the floor. But then paint
Speaker 3: House has the game breaking ability. One thing that he
Speaker 3: will like is having no Tino opposite him, because Tino
Speaker 3: went after him all those times in Origin. Ken Patrick
Speaker 3: Kerrigan be that guy that goes after his mate. But
Speaker 3: as a Queenslander, I fear a little bit of what
Speaker 3: a paint House can do.
Speaker 1: Robson ahead of Happy. It's interesting. It just shows you
Speaker 1: what currency May is going to put in defense. That's
Speaker 1: a clear one, a tough, hard nosed player. If we
Speaker 1: go back for a second on Dylan Edwards, and as
Speaker 1: we said, it's not knock on t Desco's ability or
Speaker 1: any insinuation that Teddy's starting to go back. You haven't
Speaker 1: done or you haven't Dylan Teddy. Yeah, I take Dylan
Speaker 1: because look, I don't need to say it again, he's
Speaker 1: just been close to the best in the last three
Speaker 1: I think I like a Bed Dylan coup. When you're
Speaker 1: picking on when you're peeing on character. I really, I
Speaker 1: really like players whose careers were I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: going to say on the brink is right, but have
Speaker 1: endured in their career, has been challenged, They've endured tough
Speaker 1: times in their career, and they've been old to scale.
Speaker 1: They've basically been able to scale their game back and
Speaker 1: then rebuild it. Because the people who do that, they
Speaker 1: when they come out of it, they understand themselves. They
Speaker 1: understand their own game. They understanding their strengths and their weaknesses,
Speaker 1: how to big build firewalls around their game. That's like
Speaker 1: they're just they're very aware of their own game. And
Speaker 1: if we go back and the reason I say that,
Speaker 1: people forget, like five years ago, Dylan had the yips.
Speaker 1: He was a man, he was struggling. I went out
Speaker 1: and watched one night at Penrith and he was playing
Speaker 1: New South Wales Cup against South Sydney and a few
Speaker 1: times the ball went in there and our kids, not
Speaker 1: one occasion he ran away from it. But the way
Speaker 1: he has bounced back and become close to the best
Speaker 1: player in the game shows his mental toughness and his intelligence.
Speaker 3: I agree tipcat to him as a former New South
Speaker 3: Wales halves great that helped Queensland win a few games.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Confidence in lewit heines he got a lot of confidence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I do particular Leui has been playing
Speaker 1: in the last the last couple of games have given
Speaker 1: me a great encouragement around Leui. We spent last week
Speaker 1: on a as far as from a football suspective, a
Speaker 1: technique perspective, he's stepping and accelerating more, which has got
Speaker 1: him as opposed to stepping and restepping as giving that
Speaker 1: thrust back in the game, but also how he's relished
Speaker 1: having no Nathan as part of the reason. I think
Speaker 1: he's probably taken. He's gone away. So I've won three
Speaker 1: comps here, maybe chance that I'm going to win four.
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to move away a little bit and
Speaker 1: I'm just going to show you guys, you know, really
Speaker 1: stand by myself and show how good I am and
Speaker 1: I can run aside, he's done that in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: A huge amount of pressure on them because if McGuire
Speaker 3: has gone down this path of kick picking a tough,
Speaker 3: defense orientated team they can keep this close to make
Speaker 3: it a dog fight.
Speaker 4: Then you're going to have to have a point of difference.
Speaker 4: It's got to be Leui and it's got to be Heines.
Speaker 1: Guys, Okay, here's something for with nik because this is
Speaker 1: a real is a huge series for Nicker, it is
Speaker 1: his career. What would you what would just say to Niko?
Speaker 3: For Nico Hines up until the week against Penis, he
Speaker 3: absolutely did everything right and Jerome Leue what he's done
Speaker 3: the last two weeks super super impressive. But what I
Speaker 3: would say to Nico Hines is your mental state or
Speaker 3: your mental temperament in this game is what's going to
Speaker 3: get you to the finish line. Don't try and win
Speaker 3: it in the first ten or fifteen minutes. Make sure
Speaker 3: you're driving this team, getting in good positions, and when
Speaker 3: you see that moment in the sixty eighth minute, don't
Speaker 3: hold back for it. Because if he tries to win
Speaker 3: it and play this fancy style of play, it's not
Speaker 3: really him. In the new South Wales team, he might
Speaker 3: be able to do that at the shaft, he's got
Speaker 3: everything around him at origin. When you come into REP teams,
Speaker 3: you've got to get people on the same page quickly.
Speaker 3: And the key for him is to make sure that
Speaker 3: he has an opportunity to win this game late, not
Speaker 3: lose it in the first twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Do less good, Yes, do less.
Speaker 3: Let paint ass go listen off the leash and just
Speaker 3: kick your team into good positions for first fifteen twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: And it's probably another reason why Madge has gone right,
Speaker 1: let's go Isaiah in the fourteen so we do less
Speaker 1: early and probably and I think as well, is okay,
Speaker 1: Let's let Niko find his rhythm. Don't hear him out
Speaker 1: there competing with the football with other people. Let him
Speaker 1: find some rhythm and then brings Isaiah on later.
Speaker 3: And if I was to give a little bit more advice,
Speaker 3: I'd be saying, when Spencer land YOUU comes on, follow
Speaker 3: him like that guy, I think he'd be wound up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now he's a powerhouse.
Speaker 2: He's a players.
Speaker 1: Joseph, look, I like the selection. I do, I really
Speaker 1: lot the selection. I don't know a lot about Joseph.
Speaker 1: I admire him as a player, as an athlete, but
Speaker 1: as a person. I've walked past him sometimes and said hiya,
Speaker 1: He's generally ignored me. So he should Yeah, absolutely. What
Speaker 1: makes him tick? What sort of young bloke is he?
Speaker 3: Very well mannered, very respectful, He's a very good young kid,
Speaker 3: got a great work ethic, good thirst. I would invest
Speaker 3: in Joseph Swally. I would like I get the rugby deal,
Speaker 3: Like that's something that I would do because I think
Speaker 3: this kid's got it. I think he's got it in bunches.
Speaker 3: And he could definitely be the best player in the
Speaker 3: A team or the game at some stage, depend on
Speaker 3: whatever he's doing. The thing about Joseph is this whole
Speaker 3: thing he's going to rugby.
Speaker 2: Some people think, well, if he's not.
Speaker 3: Committed, then you know what, Like go watch him play,
Speaker 3: see what he's done, and he bleeds rugby league right
Speaker 3: now for the Roosters And as a Queensland person, I
Speaker 3: would like you not to pick him because he's a extrovert.
Speaker 3: Introvert from course probably sits in the middle, like I
Speaker 3: think he's very respectful, so an introvert that way, but
Speaker 3: when he's comfortable in his environment, he's got a swagger,
Speaker 3: but he's got confidence that sits underneath there, like all
Speaker 3: the good ones that says you know what.
Speaker 2: I particularly care what you say about me.
Speaker 4: I believe I can do this strong in the gym,
Speaker 4: oh mate, He's a beast like I think every young
Speaker 4: kid these days is that's probably a difference between when
Speaker 4: you were playing in the forties and being back.
Speaker 2: These young bikes are strong, bigger bouf.
Speaker 1: When I get under the bench, person, I don't need
Speaker 1: no spot.
Speaker 2: What do you got on there?
Speaker 1: Fifteen two people, a couple of cherries other side. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk with the NRL coops. Most disappointing performance of
Speaker 1: the weekend the Raiders, right, yep.
Speaker 3: Reason being is we've spoken about this DNA, the grit,
Speaker 3: the grind and never beat themselves. The first minute was
Speaker 3: obvious they weren't there to physically play hard Graves and
Speaker 3: Spencelen you were just charging off the kickoff and skittling defenders.
Speaker 3: And then Victor Radley runs through basically untouched. And I
Speaker 3: just thought, after what they delivered last week at Magic Round,
Speaker 3: there was a poor performance, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of young guys on the side, and you get that,
Speaker 1: you get the big performance flaid By. Sometimes you can
Speaker 1: have a stinker from mine. It's crnulla and Coops, it
Speaker 1: come off, come off.
Speaker 4: The week of praise you spoke about it.
Speaker 1: It's Coops. It's a challenge and people go, oh, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's absurd. You know, the people encourage your people good
Speaker 1: you know it should be bored and give you confidence.
Speaker 1: But in a sport like rugby league, you didn't need
Speaker 1: to be off that much and just that praise, praise,
Speaker 1: more praise just can weaken your resolves.
Speaker 3: So if the Sharks are your most disappointing performance, the
Speaker 3: Panthers are my most impressive. Because I'm kicking myself for
Speaker 3: not reading that leading into that, because we were all
Speaker 3: about the Sharks. How good do they go? And they
Speaker 3: deserve to be there and you don't think that. Ivan
Speaker 3: clear went back after that victory, went back to Penerith
Speaker 3: just dangled that little carrot, said, you know what everyone's saying,
Speaker 3: the Shark's the best team in the comp how about
Speaker 3: you go out and show the rugby world who is?
Speaker 3: And it was a powerful like Lui was great, Edward's terrific.
Speaker 3: They really flex their muscles and I kicking myself, I
Speaker 3: didn't see it.
Speaker 1: No wonder they're looking at four winds in a row.
Speaker 1: Because Coops, even your great sides of Melbourne storm, to
Speaker 1: go back to back is not just a test on
Speaker 1: how you are physically and your ability to change the game.
Speaker 1: It's the biggest test is you desire and your heart
Speaker 1: and to want to get out and do that. They're
Speaker 1: one three in a row and they get they drop
Speaker 1: one game against against the Warriors.
Speaker 2: I had go to the bin for a ten minute period.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean like there's a lot of things that we
Speaker 3: all should have picked up on and then said, you
Speaker 3: know what, they're going to go to Shark Park and
Speaker 3: they're going to deliver a state.
Speaker 1: It would have been a bit of stuff with Ivan,
Speaker 1: you know, the old oh you wouldn't be live that
Speaker 1: a bit pretty ordinary stuff. I was going to you know,
Speaker 1: most Yeah, as you said, most oppressive. Couple of special mentions.
Speaker 1: Love the way the Titans rebounded from that devastating lost,
Speaker 1: the Brian Kelly situation over the line. I thought they
Speaker 1: were really really good and the Dog's second half performance
Speaker 1: was terrific. Really Toby Sexton, I thought he was really
Speaker 1: sort of super impressive.
Speaker 3: Talk since the start a year about Drew Hudson, Toby
Speaker 3: Sexton and Sirealdo went with it and he showed a
Speaker 3: little bit of class with a genuine seven on his back,
Speaker 3: so yeah, he might be there for a bit longer.
Speaker 1: Which the origin period. It's always an interesting one of
Speaker 1: the Orange Men because it so it really helps some
Speaker 1: sides out others and knocks them around. He didn't think
Speaker 1: it will help.
Speaker 3: Well, you said the Knights are on the upward trajectory,
Speaker 3: and if you go have a look at their origin period,
Speaker 3: I think they get the best teams at the right
Speaker 3: time because there's some by rounds there for them. They
Speaker 3: get them when they're playing Origin. Off the back of
Speaker 3: Origin sometimes they get rested. So I think the Knights
Speaker 3: have I think they've crept into the eight. Might be
Speaker 3: a beneficiary of what's about to come.
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors as well. Yeah, one reason they've.
Speaker 3: Both done the same thing, lost their best players and
Speaker 3: they've all doubled down on the basics and done it better.
Speaker 1: Than one of the best football through the simplicity and
Speaker 1: the other thing about the Warriors are out of the
Speaker 1: hype too a little bit. They've been good the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of Warriors been. They're back in business.
Speaker 1: Of course, as far as it's going to be toughest
Speaker 1: for across the Broncos with the Cowboys going to put
Speaker 1: a big dent. The Cowboys did, and then I robson
Speaker 1: to Langey Vale Holmes and.
Speaker 3: They're not exactly at the level they want to be
Speaker 3: at too. But their season this year has reflected a
Speaker 3: lot of things that they did last year. And if
Speaker 3: we go back to last year, it was a real
Speaker 3: circuit breaking for the Origin period. Their origent stars were
Speaker 3: sort of in and out of form. They went to
Speaker 3: Origin played great. Ruben Coodor was the best example of it.
Speaker 3: They all came back and the Cowboys got the season
Speaker 3: back up and running, but ran out of gas. So
Speaker 3: it could be the thing that the Cowboy's best players need.
Speaker 3: But I think Tom Didon has been sensational for them,
Speaker 3: Like he has been top three players every week for
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. This whole captaincy thing, he's really taken on
Speaker 3: board and he's playing really well as why he was
Speaker 3: a walk up for months.
Speaker 1: Jersey's I'm curious to see Penrith without Nathan and without
Speaker 1: Jerome to see because you see when they're Isaiaho.
Speaker 3: When Nathan goes down, Isaiah's possessions go through the roof.
Speaker 3: He becomes a distributor and then opens up Lui to
Speaker 3: play that second layer ball playing stuff.
Speaker 2: So I think he.
Speaker 3: Is just as crucial as anyone else because that means
Speaker 3: that they will will have to change slightly. The young
Speaker 3: rookies will have to come in and play role. Maybe
Speaker 3: does Mitch Kenny become more centralized. It's interesting to see
Speaker 3: how they actually play.
Speaker 1: And those two big homeres up front, Fisher, Harris and Leota,
Speaker 1: you watch them go.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I said Mitch Kenny probably comes in.
Speaker 3: Not that they centralize their attack often, but maybe they
Speaker 3: should with Mitch Kenny in because if the wrecking balls
Speaker 3: of those two you can be the best players, then
Speaker 3: Mitch Kenny might get an opportunity to play, which we
Speaker 3: don't often see because he passes the ball as Ao
Speaker 3: and Nathan most of the time.
Speaker 4: Of course, Broncos too, Yeah, the Broncos. Yeah, and they
Speaker 4: struggled last week. The Bronx like the defense.
Speaker 3: They are a good, good team, and I feel like
Speaker 3: the defense is letting themselves down at different stages, particularly
Speaker 3: the Titans, and they had this mindset of like, oh,
Speaker 3: we'll be right, We've got Selwyn, we've got paying Carrigan
Speaker 3: rees out the back, they'll do something to win it.
Speaker 2: But during this period, you're not going to have them well.
Speaker 1: This is it keeps if they're in a position at
Speaker 1: the moment, whereas if the origin period, you know they
Speaker 1: don't continue well, if they don't go on a bit
Speaker 1: of a winning run through this period, they're going to
Speaker 1: come out of the origin period under pressure. Where in
Speaker 1: the situation, there's nothing worse for in your year and
Speaker 1: a team, and you'll find yourself in a position right up,
Speaker 1: we're going to win four of the last five. That
Speaker 1: can take a bit out of your teak.
Speaker 3: And when you lose Adam Reynolds, the last thing you
Speaker 3: need to be doing is creating bad habits in your
Speaker 3: defense and your long game mentality for when he comes back.
Speaker 3: It's a bit like Penrith like they're keeping their habits well.
Speaker 3: Nathan's away, so they're defending well and but Broncos need
Speaker 3: to address their defense at the moment.
Speaker 1: As far as players of the round, I thought White
Speaker 1: and looked good in the six. Yeah, straighten them up
Speaker 1: a little bit. Who's your player of the round?
Speaker 2: I really liked.
Speaker 3: What Teddy did, to be honest, A camera like he
Speaker 3: had a lot of noise around his performance, but he
