WEBVTT - Round 15 Takeaways and Origin II Preview 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:06.320 See what I'm doing it, Coops, what are you doing that? 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:06.680 Mate? 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.040 Gone to Origin one? You had a bit of a 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.600 cheap shot at me. We're in a marine jumper. 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:13.400 We recruits. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.439 What happened, mate, We won and I'm a I'm heartless superstitious. 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.040 We recruit everyone to anyone, but we're not having to Mate, 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:21.880 take that shirt off and go back and look. 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.320 At the end of the day, I just want a 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:24.720 good game. 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.080 Yeah, me too. Rugby league is a winner. What's happening Coops? 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.680 Before we get in Origin, it's a little bit of 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.920 chat about club Land at the moment. The top four 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.320 sides on the ladder anyway, Dogs Raiders worry his Storm. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:39.840 What do you rank them? Wonder four? 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:40.960 One of four? 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.200 As the ladder sits, it's obviously Dog's Raiders worry a storm, right. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.760 I think Storm is still the competition favorites as long 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.760 as they're injury free. I feel like if they get 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.480 to the finals and their good players are fit, they 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.880 are prelimp final bound and what happened to them last year, 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.480 we'll drive to win the camp The Warriors, look, they're 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:04.400 a good team. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.360 They're playing with a lot of energy at the moment. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:07.200 A lot of confidence. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.240 Mitch Barneck gone, I just don't feel like if they 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.840 have another injury or two, they could be in trouble. 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.600 And they almost need to have week one at home, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.240 whether they finish second or fifth. I think week one 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.040 at home would be better for them. Like I don't know. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:24.479 They keep defining the odds. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.759 They they do and they record away from New Zealand is good, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.840 but I just feel like for the week one of 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.080 the finals, they might need the New Zealand. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.200 Basically the whole country behind them at one stage. Raiders, 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.080 have you seen their draw? 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.280 Ye, I think they'll be premiers. Oh yeah, that would 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.280 be it'd only bed be a collapse of sorts. Yeah, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.080 from not to get the minor premiership. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.640 Their runner is good, their confidence is sky high. Not 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.560 really exposed to original that much. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.440 This is a testing it self though, because they've been 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.560 operating on momentum as well nomnimy concerts. This this first buy. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.160 I'm interesting to see how they come out of it, 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.200 because there is the tendency to exhale a little bit, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.880 you know, and then you've got to get yourself back 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:10.440 on the tracks. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.520 They've got a good draw, they've had a couple more 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:17.440 buyers compared to other teams, and Ricky's been thereabouts. He's 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.800 going to ride this confidence all though. It just depends 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:24.839 how far it takes them. The Dogs like their game 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.960 style holds up well. They're a good team, but I 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.600 fear like with their origin players like being exposed a 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.080 lot this year, they'll fall in a flat spot in 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.400 round twenty two. They might drop two or three games 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:37.239 or something. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.880 Like that, but they'll ramp back up. But yeah, they'll 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:40.959 be hard to beat in a big game. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.600 I've gone purely on form the mount of Good Raiders 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.240 one gone Warriors too. On that that Shark's win was 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.360 that was pretty special? Was not a pretty special win. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.840 That was a special win. Dogs three Dogs. In the 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.280 last a month, I'm not going to say they've come 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.399 off a little bit, but you know, there's a couple 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.120 there's been a couple of pretty big losses. I mean 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.839 the Dolphins one it was a bad one, and and 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.400 the game yesterday. I thought that like there was an 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.320 opportunity to really go on with it and didn't. But 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.960 so I Dog three, Storm got Storm four at the moment. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.919 Now, now do you have them four for the rest 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.480 of the year. Who's your favorite. 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:27.080 Out of those to win the camp Raiders. Yeah right, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.320 I've got Raiders slightly ahead of the storm. But the 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.280 Warriors and Dogs they can nab it. We talk about 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.400 all the time, but we say, maybe this competition is 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.800 so tight that has not necessarily been the case in 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.880 the previous five years. There's been the top couple, then 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.880 the dramatic fall away this competition, Mate, there could be 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.800 a side just come out of the blue like a Dolphins. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.640 You think attack is good? 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.760 Well, I well told me this on the Sunday Night 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.480 Chat a couple of weeks ago. I said, at what 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.520 point do we actually really start to take this side 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.160 seriously as a contender. And the temptation was to go, ah, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.080 not yet, yep, but wait what yeah, well that's right, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.800 why not? Why not? You know, he's just playing They're 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:18.760 playing great football. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.960 They really are a food pack is down like no Gilbert, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.720 no Plath, no Sofeti. And they've got good workers in 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:32.320 their team. Can they mix it physically with that dominant 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.360 Raiders pack with Fisher Harris? 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.200 The challenge one thing they have is their outside backs 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.320 work really hard. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.400 To say this, if they can get any type of 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.200 momentum for car On Ni Karima. Yep, Yes, they can 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.159 win a game if they don't. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.520 Just on Storm. This this is almost unheard of as 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.839 far as the Melbourne Storm under crad Melbourne Storm in general, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.159 Melbourne Storm usually excel at night games because you blakes 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.000 play in slippery night conditions all the time down in Melbourne. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.520 This year they've struggled at night. In the day they 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.120 just blast sides apart. At night they've struggled quite a bit. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.120 It's just been really totally the opposite from previous years. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.719 Yeah, I just feel like what happened to them last year, 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.960 Like it's just going to be this burning desire that 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.080 we cannot answer that question until it gets to a 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.840 couple of weeks out for the finals. I think their 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.359 Origin players, if they get through on Scathe, will have 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.360 a bit of a dip inform and energy. But once 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.560 it's two weeks to go, I think they go like 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.880 that and you do not want to be playing them 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.000 with this burning desire of making up for last. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.840 Year and one eye on the Panthers. Oh, one eye 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.680 on the Panthers coming out of this. If they can 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.040 come out of this Origin series and they're still going 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.400 a fair bit of petrol and Tank and those key 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.600 men aren't injured. They are really dangerous. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.920 We've said this. Have they used all their bullets? 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.320 That's going to be the question to catch up. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.840 Yeah, you wouldn't want to be a team playing Penrith 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.600 in the finish eighth. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.359 Put it that way. Yeah, you rather another way. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.680 In talk about the dogs. Yesterday I thought Galvin Sexton 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.160 I thought in the first half worked well as a combination. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.880 Question is does Brands dis camera Serldo allow that combination 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.080 to cultivate? If he does, Now where does Burton fit 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.760 in all those things? Did one thing yesterday? I just 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.040 want to talk about and show on on Galvin. What 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.919 he does. Galvin lays lays on a pass to Bronson Cherry, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.920 who in turn gets a lot of mentorya for the try. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.440 Now what he does he does something which to everybody 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.800 else looks really basic and simple, but it's not. He 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.280 gets the ball, there's there's opportunity. Now, most playmakers would 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.640 advance the ball towards the defense and then fire the pass. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.200 Now what this does, though, it brings It brings Bronson 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.560 Cherry basically into the zone of an outside defense. What's 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.920 the snuffy outside in? So what he does he just 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.159 goes catch, he's going to advance and then he just now, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.920 I'm going to fire it early. It is and that's 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.640 that's a real skill for a playmaker. Don't give it 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.080 to work, don't give it too late. He just got 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.320 it the Goldilocks effect just right. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.279 And there's a point of difference because if Galvin's not there, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.559 it's normally cherry and kick out in a different layer 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.320 or a different formation. And it's one of the pluses 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.800 of a half pass into a half because if you 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.120 put a middle ford in that, it's slower and it's 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.559 not as effective. If you go back and have a look, 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.480 the South's defense was tight. Yes, space was where Montoya 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.320 was a lot of ball players and middle forwards. When 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.840 their ballplan, as you said, advanceable too far, that Russian 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.000 defense comes up and you don't get what sex than 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.240 Galvin did. Went past, past pass into the corner. So 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.440 it's awareness of where the space is and not stuff 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.800 in around. Get it to that point quickly, and they 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:47.800 took advantage of it. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.520 My brother Andrew once said that he was talking to 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.760 it was one of the playmakers at Newcastle and there 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.360 was Dane Ga guy there and there was Bradman best. 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.080 And Andrew was encouraged Bradman to talk to more to 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.680 dang Gaguy, but come on, learn center play learn the nuances, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.440 but also talking to the playmakers you know, about how 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.640 to operate with the center and gag guys went. He said, 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.640 it was really good to watch. Gag Guy was teaching 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.480 the young Newcastle playmaker how to how to feed his 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.840 center if it's like, let's say, for instance, three or 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.640 three situation, you know, and he was saying, you know, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.240 it's just you've got to just time the pass perfectly. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.440 Don't take it a step too far. The winger's going 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.400 to jam me outside in and I don't give it 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:29.920 too early. To have a slide and push him out 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.000 of the sideline just a step maybe two, and then fire 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.480 it or catch him in no men's land. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.600 And that comes with experience and repetition when you're a 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.280 ballplayer to know the cues of what that center is 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.280 doing before you get the ball across. But the Dogs 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.000 have had a soft landing with this Galvin situation. Like 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.920 I really like what they did week one. They waited 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.760 to the game was sort of in their favor because 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.080 if you had to come at a half time it 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.560 was twelve all I think it was they lose. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:56.920 Everyone's talking about Galvin. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:57.600 Yeah you got him. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.199 In the last twenty minutes to go, the game was 0:08:59.240 --> 0:08:59.560 tied up. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.280 He scores a try. We're all celebrating, No Burnton. So 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.840 Sexton was terrific. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.840 He was. I'm telling you, I got so much admiration 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.439 for Taby with all this going on. He has he had, 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.800 his form has held and he's been able to remain 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.800 focused where other people sometimes will be just chewing their fingernails. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.560 And his first try was pure half back play. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.800 He went to kick with option one in his head, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.720 realize the South defense was retreating. Wait a minute, I 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.959 can take this space here, and then the cover came 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.040 across back inside. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.560 That is that's good half back play. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.640 Cameron Suldo is a good enough coach sometimes and not 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.280 proud enough to go you know what, I'm going to 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.640 change my mind here, Like I'm sure they've got a 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.960 plan in place, but if you know with Sexton, it's 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.280 just like, yeah, Toby, just keep playing the way you do, mate. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.600 You know that obvious. The obvious plan is no Sexton 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.800 galving in. But kudos to Sexton. I like what he's doing. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.880 It made some of these opposition clubs. If the dogs 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.680 want to let him go, there's mate something to invest 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.760 in there. I would say most teams in the competition 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:09.960 could do with a seven in the side. Talking about sevens. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.000 You talk about yourself. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.360 Here, I was a six, Isaiah Cato. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.040 I know why you're six because you were seven. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:22.719 Yeah, that's right. I controlled it. Sometimes the Matthew. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.360 The player you're about to talk about, you and I 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.520 could play six outside. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.920 This guy at his age, I've never seen a playmaker 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.920 do the things that he is doing. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.800 This one here, that is that's beyond his years. He 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.200 has gone to the line. John McLean's reached out and instead 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.840 of advancing the ball further, he actually slows up and 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.400 hooks Jordan McClain to say come to me, which ties 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.920 up the outside defender. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.400 Like we we could do a show on this kid. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.520 Mate, we could well, honestly, it's we're spoken about this 0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.960 kid more than anyone had competition. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.520 Last year it was clearing and on this show we 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.120 are doing cartel most weeks. He is doing things that 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.920 he's manipulating defenders to the point that defenders don't want 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.280 to defend that way, and the coaches are saying, don't 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.440 do that. But the way that he holds his body, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.680 his hips, the ball movement, that stutter step, the gears 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.120 are fast and slow. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.160 Like he's he is driving defenders mad like that one 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.880 with mcclan where As you said before, he's recognized instinctively 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.000 he's going to come out the line of me and 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.120 then go bush push and then just push backwards right 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.120 and McLain he almost falls over him at the end there. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.400 The contrast to this is that some halfbacks would keep 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.520 going and McLain would wipe that half back out right 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.520 and probably don't engage that next defender as much. But 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:52.559 because he hooked and stopped, McClain went reached and therefore 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.880 Cafusi on the outside held up the next one. Then 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.040 Nickoreema gets space and that's the reason why they collapse 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:58.560 on the outside. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:11:59.920 I was talking to someone the other day, I said, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.640 how did the Dolphins end up with this young bloke? 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.800 And they said, what had happened is, you know, as 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.680 is the way with great clubs like Penrith is you know, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.000 they're looking five years in events and they look at 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.959 they looked at Nathan and Jerome coming through and they thought, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.120 as this side, this young Penriside starts to get better 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.000 and better and wins one camp after the next stuff. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.960 The next they're going to lose one of their spine players, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.400 one of their key blokes, Jerome or Nathan probably Jerome 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.240 is not going to see your son yea after camp 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:33.680 after being camp and they said he's the kid. He's 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.560 the one that's going to then jump in. But you know, 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.000 obviously Peter O. Sullivan, who was at the Dolphins alongside Wayne, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.400 recognized his young bloke and they went and got him, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.839 gave him a lot more money as a master stroke. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.560 He obviously spoted him. 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.360 But I think we need to give Christian Wolf a 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.760 huge rap too, like his development under him in the 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.520 first fifteen weeks of this competition year has gone from 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.040 this kid's got talent, so he's a genuine start of 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.199 the competition. And speaking to Christian Wolf and hearing him 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:07.079 talk like he doesn't over complicate things, like to give 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.040 a bit of example why I think the Dolphins are 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.240 where they are. Remember back at the study, I lost 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.040 four in a row and the cyclone was in Southeast Coinsland. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.679 A couple of players stayed behind and we all thought, 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.679 this is rugby league, you've got to win the two 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.680 points like that, he said, I trust my players. My 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.280 players trust me, and they stayed true through that four 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.559 losses and they've come out the other side and they 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:35.040 are playing very entertaining football like Bostock farm Worth like 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:36.520 just so good. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.360 Origin Origin. Now what is touched on this? Quickly? The 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:55.720 dropping of dce ah two things on this and Billy 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.199 has put everybody on notice by dropping DC. In my opinion, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.440 you know no one is safe right now people will thinking, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.600 oh he mean no one safe. I mean Munster and 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.760 Harry Grant that surely they're safe. I heard Monster interviewed yesterday, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.120 right They asked the question. They said, when Billy called 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.960 you and asked you to come to his room, what 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.600 did you think do you think it was about the captaincy? 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.440 And Monster said in honesty, no, After the way I played, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.040 I thought he was going to tell me I was 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.000 eighteenth man or dropped to the bench. That just shows 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:30.720 it never underestimate anyone's insecurities. Right and by dropping DC, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.440 all of those Queensland players wo beyond the bit Now 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.200 I tear what like I need to perform? He's going 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.640 to drop the captain. He can easily drop me. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.800 I think there's two parts this. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.120 I was either way with Cherry Evans or did I 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.880 think Queensland could win Game two with Cherry Evans? 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.320 Or did it halfback right? 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.720 The way that Daily Cherry Evans responded for his team 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.960 against the Titans showed me that. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:54.920 Billy made the right call. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.720 Now I don't even know what Tom didn is going 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.800 to do, but I would have thought with the disappointment 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.160 that Daily chair Evans would have come back and been 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.200 the best player on the field. Now, this is his 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.320 performance against the Titans, and see how he is sideways 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.920 made We spoke about the directness of car See everything 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:16.160 is sideways. Now he's a good player, but the outside 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.640 runners get caught up, they're not in the best timing 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.840 and it's just a little bit not engaging the defensive line. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:23.160 Right. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.920 So I think off this performance and his ballplane, it 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.280 shows that Tom Dinnan is the right call. Reason being 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.080 is Tom Didan is arrow straight. He might not have 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.280 the kicking game that Daily Cherry Evans has, but Tom 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.239 Didnan will threaten the line. So some of his performances, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.760 Tom like he is more straight than what Daily Cherry Evans. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.360 Is that creates space for Munster. It is also a 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.240 threat for this guy to do something like this. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.280 Yeah, he's like I love him as player coops. I 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.760 love that story where Billy picked him a few years 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.800 ago they were under the park, lots of injuries. Is 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.040 he knocked on knocked on on Tom's door at the 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.920 hotel and told him and Tom started crying. And actually 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.640 they're the sort of players that you want. He's all hard, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.400 he can't be discouraged. He is not. They've picked him 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.200 for his fight and his energy you have. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.040 I would tell you that the fact that he got 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.880 that emotional with his debut would have been a big 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.520 part of Billy's decision here. Yeah, because he knows. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.080 How much it means. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.520 I won't say it doesn't mean to daily. I'm not 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.960 saying that. I'm saying that this kid will not take 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:27.760 a back footstep. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.120 He's not a pure playmaker, not in the same post 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.840 code as a Nathan Cleary. So he's a different type 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.760 of hard packed. So I think it's a big responsibility 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.120 on Munster on the left, but a huge responsibility on 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.720 Kaylen Ponger. You know, I expect Calen Pomer played a 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:44.920 lot of first receiver. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:46.720 And I think you'll do a bit of the kicking 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:51.520 now on the flip side. Moses gone, He's out four 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.280 to six weeks. Leui comes back in. Now the band's 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.600 back together. That Anderth machine is back together. And I 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.680 really am speaking on behalf of Luis. But he's been 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.040 grinding a way at the Tigers, wrestling between being a 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.520 six outside Nathan with a seven on his back, and 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.720 he's doing a decent job. But now he's putting on 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.360 those comfy shoes and Moses is a more dominant. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:15.359 Player than Jerome. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.679 So in game one, Moses would kick the ball, Moses 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.959 would chase on the right hand side, Moses would want 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.480 to get his hands at first receiver and do all 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.600 these things. Jerome Lewie, if I'm trying to predict this, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.159 he's going to sit on the left hand side, and 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.480 he's going to wait, and he's going to wait. He's 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.119 going to wait till he gets the advantage. He's going 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.240 to Nathan give me the ball. And the other thing 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.879 that he will do that's different to Moses is he 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.280 will drop off Nathan and threaten the middle of the 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.160 field with those drop off plays that Penrith. He will 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.800 be more of a running threat through the middle of 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.240 the field than Mitchell Moses. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.040 Him coming into the side. It will be less work 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.160 for Laurie in a lot of ways. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.159 Big time. It's prob he went with him over Burton. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.800 Like Burton this at this point, in my opinion, is 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.800 he utility play at origin level. That's what people are 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.359 going hang on his eighteenth man. He sh'll go in 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.680 at six. No, no, at you know, if you needing 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.440 to play six, there's an injury at eighth man, he 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:06.959 can go in there and do the job. But as 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.399 far as the pure six, it's Slewi first, second and 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:14.159 third mate, energy, arrogance after wrong with that, mate, you know, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.280 arrogance been able to get into the griddle of the opposition. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.480 So familiarity and he's just sit mate. He's been he's 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.159 been working really hard at the Tigers. He's my man 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.400 of the match. I think with a lesser responsibility, he'll 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.639 just get out there and play really free. And that 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.880 would be for him to go in there and put 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.920 a staring performance in this game. That'd fantastic for the Tigers. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.080 You can imagine him taking that back to the Tigers 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:38.320 and they'll be all up on these taps. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.000 If you're the half back of the Tigers, like trying 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.280 to find your best form, your stress levels are almost 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.680 here in most weeks. And he's going to go into 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.159 the biggest game of the year so far, and he's 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.080 stressed that this might sound weird, but he stressed level 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.560 is going to be so much like going to be 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:54.280 so free. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.479 He'd be like, it's true, curbs, right, let's let's talk 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.080 about I want to talk about Queensland, how hell they play, 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.080 but I want to talk put this Perth, this Perth game. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.479 Perth's been a really great place for New South Wales 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.399 because traditionally it is a really fast track. Generally it's 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.080 dry that's talking. Might be a bit of rain in 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.920 this one, but dry thirty eight six, forty four to twelve. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.679 There's no doubt two scores at Perth. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.600 Yep. New South Wales now want that show. If Queensland 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.159 go out there to make this an attacking shootout, I 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.080 think New South Wales wrap up the series comfortably. Queensland 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.040 are going to want to make this, want to make 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.679
