WEBVTT - Origin Selection Fallout 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.600 Hello, Welcome to Daily Telegraph Er podcast on Brent Ridge 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:15.560 orined by Russell Jackson, Tyson jack Tyson Jackson. There you 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.280 go to Jackson Jackson with the Jackson between the we're 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.160 going to talk all things Origin some time a year. 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.400 It's the slow burned that we're finally here. Billy Slater 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.920 and Michael McGuire held prescombs this morning to talk about 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.199 their teams. Let's go through. Let's start with the Blues. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.720 What were the impressions Russell that that news last signe? 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:39.560 What caught your eye? 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.520 Got my eye? Well, it's a big call, the James 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:48.760 Tedesco call. But it's a really big call. But look, Madge, Madge, 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.800 I don't know if he quite explained it this morning, 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.840 but certainly it's certainly a monster call for the Blues. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.280 Like Dian Edwards is going great, but Teddy sets a 0:00:58.280 --> 0:00:59.320 pretty high benchmark. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:00.200 I think that's the thing. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.240 He's pretty heavily scrutinized. I don't know if as a 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.480 player in Origin it's been more heavily scrutinized than him. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.640 So it'll be interesting to see how Dylan Edwood's goes, 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.000 how heavily scrutinized he is, but just that the benchmark 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.440 of what Blues Fallback delivers and what Teddy's delivered in 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.399 his time is pretty high. So there's a lot of 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.200 pressure on that position in particular. That was a real standout. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.680 I only concern around it all is Niko Hines were 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.959 just worried about him, worried about him. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:29.679 Or the big stage. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.959 Oh, A bit of both, A bit of both. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.720 I feel like he's got, hopefully that nightmare out of 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:39.839 the way. Yeah, but everything else, Yeah, good on match, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:40.880 that's the team he wants. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.360 Let's stick with Teddy for a bit, tysonly for twenty 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.680 two games in a row. He's the incumbent use of 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.400 the last captain, the incumbent Australian captain, and he's been axed. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:50.960 It's a huge decision. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:52.919 I think it's a message more than anything. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.920 Match has gone out and he's said this is my time, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.280 my team, and I think he's put his team out 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.880 and he's sent a message to everyone that you know, 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.000 the old era of the Blues is over and they're 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.440 entering this new era. Do I agree that James Tedesco 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.239 should have been cut? Probably not. I think he's done 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.440 enough to retain your spot. And I think when you 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.359 are a champion like Tedesco in any sport, you've got 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.720 to lose your title rather than you know, have had 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.360 it given away. And I don't think he's lost his 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.480 title as captain of the Blues. But that's the decision 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.560 or en fullback. But that's the decision that Madge has 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.240 gone with. Then look, Dylan Edwards is Dylan Edwards has 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.239 been the informed fullback for the last three or four years. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.400 So is he going to do the job more than likely? 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.919 Well, I mean my issue is that I would have 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.200 given Teddy at least the first game and if they 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.680 lost the first game, move on, right, But there's no 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.359 disapinting dealing. It was probably he has been the form fullback. Yeah, 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.640 not the form fullback because Reached Walsh has been pretty 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.600 good as well. But he's been the form new said 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.519 Wilds fullback I guess for the past eighteen months or 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.239 so East and he's been better form than Teddy. It's 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.840 just such a huge call to get rid of a 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.560 guy who's been there for so long and as I said, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.519 he's been your captain, which means it captains now jak Turovich, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.560 who doesn't captain his club, who's inspiring, rose inspiring guy, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.760 a passionate guy, always gives everything he's got. But huge call. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.800 It's not the only huge call. I'm surprised Appy Corras 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.519 would overlooked. Yeah you're a Tiger's man, are yes? Yeah, 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.200 you think Reece Robson got the job. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.840 Reece Robson is a good player, but I think Apps 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.320 has probably been and I think it stands out more 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.200 the fact that he's playing for the Tigers, who are 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.720 struggling at the moment. He's been the inform hooker of 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.760 the competition, what he does for that team, the way 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.840 he leads that team, and probably would have been a 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.520 good leadership option for the Blues as well. But yeah, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.640 I think I think Appy's Appy missing out is a 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.640 huge call. I think defensively as well, he provides so 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.120 much and he also provides so much flairing attack and 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.720 so much creativity that nine position. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.280 I think that was part of the issue. I think 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.880 if you look at pure stats up, he's missed more 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.200 tackles this year Thane and Robson has a bit of 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.160 a bigger body and more physical But stats can be misleading, right, 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.440 and sometimes yeah, you know, he's shooting out the lots 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:14.920 the team. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.560 It's always on the back and four he's Yeah, exactly, 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.240 he's a pressure play. 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.600 It's the activity that that Happy brings that that I'm 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.320 worried about that. Yeah, I mean Robson's a very good player, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.799 but yeah, Appy, he's just got those those those angles 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.640 and he works at a dummy half. He does it 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.240 so well. I'm not sure if it's a it's a 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.440 call he had to make. I don't know why he 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.679 did that. I am worried about the bench as well. 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.240 I'm worried if guys go down. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.480 The benches. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.640 Bill he's got outside back on the bench, which is Yeah, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.159 little clubs are doing it these days, I think, just 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.080 because if you lose outside back it's hard to replace. 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.080 But it's four forwards and he said last bench, So 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.440 if they lose an outside back from the game, they 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:56.440 have to really shuffle. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.800 Yeah, they're in trouble, aren't they. Yeah, definitely. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.120 What about Latrell miss out? What do we think? I 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.280 thought Latrol should have been there. I think I'm the Queenslander. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.200 Latrell scares me. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:07.880 One hundred percent. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:15.159 I would have picked Latrell Mitchell. This is Latrell Mitchell, 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.320 the center is like he is a Latrell Mitchell is 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.640 a great center. He's always been a great center. He's 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.559 a good fullback, very good fullback, but he's a great center. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.279 And I would have found a way to have conversations 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.760 with him to get him on board with his team. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.599 I think I don't know exactly what happened on that front. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:40.479 I'm told Russet Latrell spoke to Madge a little while ago, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.359 a couple of months ago, and basically said the Madge, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.000 I mean, I mean, if you need me, if you 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.080 think if you think I'm playing well enough, I'm in. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.960 I want to help the Blues. Now. Obviously, in the meantime, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.040 that story came out that Latrell light, I'm really out 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.640 of what you want. But Latrell never said that. People 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.560 closed to him look Trell ring Madge to make sure, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.159 imagine you that the troll was available. So yeah, this 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.360 is purely decision based on it, I assume form. And 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.599 you know, obviously he felt that Latrell maybe wasn't playing 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:18.080 well enough because Latrell, from what I'm told, Latrell was 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.320 committed to plan for the Blues. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.480 Yeah, well, look at it like this. The Maroons have 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.719 picked Valentine Omes, who I think has been woeful. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:28.679 And terrible. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.640 I've got no doubt as a Blue supporter and as 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.960 a new South Welshman that Valentine Home is going to 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.560 be one of our biggest problems come Wednesday week. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.760 I think La troll sits in that same boat. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.280 If I'm a Queenslander and I'm looking ahead of me, yeah, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.040 I'm I'm petrified of the fact that Latrell Mitchell's got 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.920 a Blues jersey on. But in saying that as well, 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.000 Sowali I think is a great strike weapon for the 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.839 Blues at center and I. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.000 Preferred him on the wing, though I understand it to 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.640 pick Zack Clamax because he's had a good year in 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.880 the wing, but I feel like, I just think, if 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.840 you're going to go that way, I would have put 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.320 Swalot swally here on the wing and pick a Troll 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.640 in the centers. And that's pretty devastating combo. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:14.360 It is. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.280 You know, I don't know he's stick and I don't 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:17.920 know what side of the field they play on, but 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.280 carries from from a physical body. He goes in the 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.720 exact Lomax Good in the air, but yeah, yeah, I 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:27.040 don't know. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.800 But engine wise and work ethic and all that. Yeah, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.200 Lomax is in very good form. How he measures up 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.280 on this big stage. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.480 He is prone to the occasional erratic play. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:41.520 Exactly pass on Anzac day were they were squeezed. It 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.000 was a great defensive set going backwards and all of 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.360 a sudden he just flicks one out the back and. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.760 That If you make my stuff like that, generally you 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.880 get punished. You can get away with it in club 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.960 football occasion, but orige and if you throw a silly 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.960 pass or do something rash and there's nought out and 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.200 there's no way DC and Caro are not going to 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.480 make a boline to Lomax. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.080 He's going to be under serious pressure. There's going to 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.080 be high balls all day. It's going to be a 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.280 big test for him and I hope he hope he 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:10.800 aims up. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.200 Does Luke Kerey as well? One of the great Queenslanders. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.080 Heinz back up. He's a Queens Can we make that 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:17.840 very clear? 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.080 Isn't he flying at the moment? 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.800 Though, Kirie, since he made that call on his future different, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.840 Luke Kerery's back like the old Luke. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.440 Kerey is there, assertive to the line, just like dominating games. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.400 He's been in terrific form and Madge trust him from 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.240 his days at South. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.000 So you know, I don't know if they have any 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:35.440 other choice. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:36.600 Goes out r In. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.480 Yeah, yeah, I don't think there's a there's a real 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.360 better option at this point. And not saying that Luke 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.480 Kery is the last option, but I think that for 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.440 what the Blues need, especially the partner Jerome Luai who's 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.400 has been on fire, let Drome play his game. Luke 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:52.920 Kerey is the guy that can come in and really 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.440 steer that ship where it needs to go. And and 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.200 also his kicking game. We're speaking about Lomax before. If 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.320 Ky is to slot in, it's a massive aerial threat 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:02.440 for Lomax in the air. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.200 For Squally in the air. It causes it causes. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.680 Some problems for the Marines' A little bit of intrigued 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.080 for me around your own being selected. How's Madge going 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.840 to handle a boom box? You know, Madge is pretty Yeah, 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.960 it's a pretty stable, sort of calm guy. Yeah, and 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.760 Latrell loves that boombox a man, he plays a loud Yeah, 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.160 Well that'll be an old man. You know, old man 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.000 don't like loud noise exactly? 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.960 Is there is there a boombox ban? You're talking boombox band. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.600 This is a major, major story. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.040 How will he go? Yeah, well, I think he might 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:33.720 just get. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.480 That's got an issue with dressing box took allowed boom box. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.320 I can't see Madgine joined that as aside. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.400 If it goes to a vote, do you reckon they're 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:44.960 pro boombox here. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.360 I'm thinking, thinking that little boom I think Madge better 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.360 be careful with that one. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.880 Better be careful now us a few controversial selections as well, 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.400 Big Big Davy Boy, Dave for Feeder, Jayden saw yeah 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.520 starting to I'm disappointed for Dave. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.080 It's a strange decision, especially in his performance yesterday. But 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.640 I was mentioning to you guys earlier. He provides so 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.520 much on the field just by being there. All of 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.560 a sudden space opens up outside of him on the 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.240 other side of the field, just because David for feeda 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.559 standing there. And I mean, if Billy wants to go 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.520 with his other options, that's fine, but I think as 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.240 an aura, you need David fa in that side. You 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.360 need him causing that havoc with the ball early ball 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.000 near the line, just by being on the field, and. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.160 The decision has clearly been made before yesterday's game, Sunday's game, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.800 because he was unbelievable. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.880 As the side there, James had pretty good, to be fair, 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.120 It's been pretty good this year. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.120 So yeah, nothing taking nothing away from him, but. 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.640 But I would have big Dave there the other interestingants 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.920 Tommy did at six obviously, I think he was always 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.560 going to be the sick A bit of talk about 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.760 as Aman when Monster was ruled out, But I think 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.960 Tommy's been there, done, I played really well, the opportunity got, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.600 been solid in the Cowboys team that's been pretty ratic 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.360 this year. I think that's a good choice. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.640 It's good choice, yea, yeah, no problem with he's an 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.720 Origin player, Tommy. Did you see you see when he 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.160 takes field the club. You know, he plays every game 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.760 like it's an Origin game. And yeah, he's done the 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.320 job before. And I think that would have been at 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:18.520 the forefront of Billy's mind. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.520 What about that bench there we got saying that a 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.000 pointing at the screen and you can't see that if 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.200 you're listening. But number seven eighty seln Coper so an 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.280 undefined role at this stage or not that Billy's going 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:30.280 to tell us what the role is. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.160 But it's interesting. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.680 Stat Russ and I think Scott Bailey from AP destroying 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.600 this early in the year. The teams that have lost 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.720 outside back early in the game this year have lost, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.320 I think they've won. They've lost seventeen or twenty odd 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.640 games this year. So if you lose an outside back 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.480 in the modern game during a game you don't have 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.480 cover on the bench, it's a death knell. So I 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.719 think Billy maybe maybe Billy's a fan of Scott Bailey's 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.320 got a well done, Billy's reading your stuff. You got 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.719 to sell and I would have to sell on cop 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.480 I would have started selling Cobo Murray too lungy to 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.080 be honest. I just think someone's been playing so good 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.120 this year and he is such a Yeah, he's machine. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.040 So on cob My My only question around having so 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.360 On Cobbo on the bench is what happens if no 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:22.200 one gets injured? 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.080 Where did like? 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.000 He's such an X factor and you're you're wasting You're 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:27.800 wasting an integer. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.440 Do you think Queen's good because Queen's and historically have 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.800 had Cale and Cooper those sort of guys on the 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.559 bench playing that that middle of the field role that 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.120 come on and players like almost like a book ball 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.400 playing lock in the middle of the field. Cobo play 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:43.880 that role. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.560 When have you ever seen Cobbo? 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.040 You haven't Cale and done it? When Cooper does. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.000 A fullback there fullbacks played through the middle of the field. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.840 Cooper was a half who plays played a bit of fullback. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.880 There would be fair a little bit a handful of games. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.360 But I could see them doing I could see them 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.120 at some point. Just say that, I see points right 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.880 and coming on plays in the middle and just floats around. 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.160 What about what we spoke about Lomax having having an 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.839 error or two in his game, So to sell On 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.160 comm you do you one day in the middle of 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:13.520 the field. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.320 Don't bring that up. That got me a lot of 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:20.720 trouble with Billy when we did the sell and drop over. Yeah, 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.640 Billy Billy back on side. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.080 Up the terrible. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.439 But I can just see potent potentially sell On playing that. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.520 Can you imagine sell in the middle of the field 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.680 just bobbing up, floating around because he's such a handful. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.199 Yeah, I'm saying it will happen. Just defenders and all that. Yeah, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.400 a double fullback situation. Yeah, I don't mind. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.760 I don't mind it as a as a as a call. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:52.320 I have had a new text text mean already this 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.440 morning saying that coins and team will change. That will 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.920 not be the way they start the game. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.439 Changes there, what do they do what? 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.960 I don't know what change. They didn't elaborate, saying they 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.160 expect changes in that quin before kick on. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:05.840 Its interesting. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.160 So we've already got them under the gun. So we 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.560 in agreement queens and three. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.880 Saying, boys, we're predicting, we predicted. What do you what 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:16.200 do you think? 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.440 Are confident? You guys and used to watch? Yeah, are 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.200 you confident in that team enough? 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.400 I wouldn't say. I wasn't saying not confident. I think 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.000 they're a hard working team. I think they lack a 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.840 bit of that sounds lack of confidence. I think they 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.600 don't put words in. I think they lack a bit 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.440 of flash. But I think they're a hard working team 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.720 and if they can get into that grind that I 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.840 think the game will be decided between that seventy eighty 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:40.240 minute mark. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.560 Like game one man imagines, it's not what I think 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.960 like grind. I think they can win game one. I'm 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.080 not sure about the series yet. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.920 Let's quickly touch on Clublands. It's a Tigers. They lost 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.880 that the weekend. Yeah, Tigers, they're in a bit of trouble. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:54.960 We've got to buy this week. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.360 Yeah we couldn't. They're coming a better time, I think. Yeah. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.240 But the thing is that the really confusing thing I 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.080 guess as a Tigers fan, just as a rugby league 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.840 fan watching from the outside in. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.080 Is they're never like terrible. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.280 Yeah, They're always always there, and then they find a 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.560 way to beat themselves, I guess. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.240 And twenty it was a twenty nil down on the weekend. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.680 Yeah, and they got they got sixteen, sixteen and twenty. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.400 I think that they ended up getting to and they 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.960 looked good and then just these little laps as the judgment. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.440 Well, this start the other day was it was horrendous 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.920 down twenty twenty nil, playing catch up played some good footy, 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.120 Lucky playing catch up was on fire. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.120 Yeah it looks great, Lucky. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.840 Yeah he's very good. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:37.280 Yeah. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.400 Yeah, I don't know what happens to them. And the 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.640 Cowboys are the same, Like the cowboys. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:42.200 Go in and out. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.120 I think they were described in this game in commentary 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.040 as a Jeckyl and Hyde in game Jeckyl and High team, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.520 and they really are. They have moments where you go, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.360 why are you guys struggling? Like it's got so many 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.440 weapons in this team. But yeah, they go through their 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.840 moments as well. Yeah, two real roller coaster teams going 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.480 at it. But I don't know what happens with the Tigers. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.680 I don't know if it's confident, so I'm not sure 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.640 they've been losing for such a long time. I don't 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:12.360 know all these guys now, the players being shocked publicly, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:14.480 and that does to a club. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.680 They could probably take a leaf out of the Dog's book. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.400 We look at the Dogs in the way they're building 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.280 the moment, they look as they've got some real momentum. Yeah, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.880 on their side, they lost Philliam Kickout. The news came 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.240 out today Billy Army is going to be out four 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.040 to six weeks after undergoing finger surgery. The great guster 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.480 gust of a girl there now sat on his foot 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.600 of feed which I'm blocked from. But Tyson, I think 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.320 you've got not blocked blocked, So Tyson not yet. All 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.640 over the after Gus a big fan of this podcast, 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.160 both Jackson's on. But the Dog is that they look good. 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.720 I was at the game. It was Thursday. Very just 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.240 ripped and shred, very slipped. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.440 The second sexton was good. Yes, yeah, apparently. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.920 They only it was a rotational thing. It was a 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.440 rest for Drew Hutchinson, so he might come back in well. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.240 Stefano got rested from game Game three of Origin last 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.320 year and hasn't been seen since, so I don't know 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.160 how that rested work. Yeah, it really works, especially after 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.879 Toby sex and plays, so I'd. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.840 Suggest they rest him again. No offense to to Drew, 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.280 but they look really good the Dogs. That was great footy. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.359 The best game came the week before. That's why, Like 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:16.800 the best he. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.680 Had looked all year was the week before Toby got 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.960 his first go, which is very baffling to some fans. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.159 But I mean, I think they're all cheering now, but 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.040 Toby really looks like he's coming into his skin as 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.080 a as a first grader and and yeah, it looks 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.320 like he's a He's a great pick up for the Dogs. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.200 We should give a shout out to the mighty Gold 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.639 Coast Titans as well. Yeah, that was an unbelievable game. Yesso. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.080 That was incredible, incredible. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.040 Yeah, yeah, that's you know, back to back weeks now 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.480 we've seen two playing two great games where the sides 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.600 have just gone at it like Crnalla and the Roosters 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.560 was it was a great game, and then that one 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:55.000 yesterday was just so good, throwing it around, nice open footy. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:55.480 Worried about. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:01.600 Yeah, I yeah, yeah, it's I think I think at 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.200 the time of the year that we're at, I think 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.240 sadly a lot more players are more interested in state 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.720 of origin selection than they are in winning a game 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.040 for their club. And I think we might have seen 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.720 that a bit with the Broncos yesterday. So for that reason, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.520 I'm not stressing about the Broncos yet, but I mean 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.760 that's the wrong mindset to have, you know, leading into 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.800 a game, and that probably is the reason why the 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.760 Titans got it over them. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.120 That's the shortest show that We're a bit shorter because 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.600 we've got to wind up. Yeah, so we should touch 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.679 on the really important part of the week. Yes, what 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.239
