1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: Can I ask a little question. 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 2: I was thinking about it. 3 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: I want to get into the flop of him was 4 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: like a great players, it would have been rodged through it. 5 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: I've got to turn out some of this roster. My 6 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: chief got so bad. 7 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: Well, well what about that, Matthew amazing? 8 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? My jacket to what's happened? 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: Let people know if I look slightly odd, it's because 10 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: I wear in my pajamas and I've just thrown a 11 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: code at the top. 12 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Were straight in reviewing that State of Origin game, and 13 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: I don't know anyone that saw that coming, especially that 14 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: first half, like no one, no one could have predicted that. 15 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: I think statistically probably the greatest first half in Origin history. 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: With no doubt. 18 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: You did say you said before the game, and you 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: in an article said new so well, I was thirteen 20 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: plus and I thought I thought, I even thought that 21 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: was slim. I even thought that was reaching. But Jesus, 22 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: that first Queensland just didn't turn up the first twenty minutes. 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: Coops, tiny little things make a massive difference to that level. 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: And the bottom line was New South Wales were absolutely desperate. 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: They needed to win, and you saw that and every 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: single thing they did Queensland, you just see in the 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: performance they just lack some Yeah, now we'll talk about 28 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: this at the back end. But New South Wales mate, honestly, 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: you cannot. I have seen this a million times. They 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: cannot afford to get ahead of themselves because a lot 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 1: of those players that haven't played at this level before, 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: they will be shocked at the reaction or basically the 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: reception they get up at Saint Cups Stadium. Yeah, this 34 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: third game, this society could be one of the most 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: hype games in Origin history and they will be like 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: the Queensland fans will be. It will be so hostile. 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: So you've got to expect that a lot of the 38 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: fifty fifty decisions will go they will exert pressure on 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: the referee. 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, even even in tonight's match, a lot of the 41 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: fifty fifty decisions went our way our way, Like nearly 42 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: every fifty to fifty decision went our way. But like 43 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: you said, you could just see in the second half 44 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: people started to just get carried away. And I said 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: to you during the game, I said, I'm beginning to 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: feel I'm actually beginning to want to see Queensland come back. 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: Into this game because the carry on from some of 48 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: the boys out there. It was like, guys, you haven't 49 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: even played, you haven't even finished this game, and you 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: just got beat the first game. Maybe there's a whole 51 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: other game three to go. Maybe just put the egos 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: back in the box. 53 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: For a little bit. I sort of agree with you 54 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: there your dinner where you start to be so prudish one, 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: that's the way it is. I get that, Coops, I 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: get that. I know Billy. I'm almost certain Abiliya will 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: show some of that stuff on the video. I totally agree. 58 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's summarized the New South 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: Wales performance and the mood they're in, just that high 60 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: level of aggression and you know sometimes that's going to 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: spill over. Let's summarize the match crucially, let's summarize this game. 62 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: What this shows, Coop is that it clearly highlights that 63 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: in Origin, you need to be squeaky clean. Now what, 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: because errors are going to be punished. You give a 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: side film position given the quality of the attack, and 66 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: quality of the players and the quality of the halves 67 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: that are there, mate, you can you know, you give 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: away an error or give away a penalty and the 69 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: opposition can go down and dominate yardage for a period 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: of time, can dominate possession for a period of time, 71 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: or you just start bleeding points and that was the 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: case Coop New South while New South Wales won this 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: game on primarily on discipline and bore control, which are 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: the most basic fundamentals in rugby league. Yeah, but we 75 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: always say keep going in the game. They always say 76 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: you've got to do the basics. Well, it's become a cliche, 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: it's boring, but guess what's true. 78 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you say discipline, it wasn't the fact 79 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: that they were being you know, soft in a way 80 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: where they just didn't want to give away penalties. But 81 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: there that first ten minutes they were aggressive, but they 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: were controlled aggressive. We probably saw Game one the aggression 83 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: was too much obviously to let you get sent off. 84 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: But we were so aggressive and physical that first ten 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: minutes in comparison to Game one. But we were no penalties, 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: forcing errors from them without actually being ill disciplined, which 87 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: is an art form in itself because there's it's so 88 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: easy when you're flying up trying to put hits on 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: and be aggressive to teams to know Yeah, spill over, 90 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: hit them high every now and then or be off side. 91 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: But the discipline from actually the New so Well's forwards 92 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: was really. 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: That was one of the highlights that controlled aggression and 94 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: they set the tone from the kickoff coops. If you 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: watch the kickoff for reminded me of the one in 96 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: the mid two thousand, two thousand and three four when 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: New South Wales kicked off and Danny Madeiras almost hit 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: Shane Webke as he caught the ball. He sprinted down 99 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: that hard. Now New south Wales when they kicked off, 100 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: they just took off and held Queensland in their own 101 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: five meters. Yeah, and that first I think that first 102 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: set of sex really set the tone for New South 103 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: Wales as far as aggression and as far as winning 104 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: that yardigh back. 105 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: Well, a good sign is always when the kicker on 106 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: that first set is kicking inside their forty meter line. 107 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: That's always the goal of a forward pack. Say let's 108 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 2: keep him inside their forty and that stems off a 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: good kick chase and a deep kickoff. But it's especially 110 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: in state of origin, it's always a good sign when 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: they kicking inside their forty and. 112 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Part of a coop you can be disciplined, you can 113 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: have ball control, but at the end of the day, 114 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: when you once you get up in that opposition twenty meters, 115 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: you've got to make a bird of it. You got 116 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: to be really good. And this is you've got to 117 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: be able to kick well. And Mitchell, Moses and Jerome 118 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Leuye they're kicking and their control was outstanding. We got 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: so many repeat sets they kicked tries and remember at 120 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: one point it's funny, you know when you listen to 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: commentary sometimes they'll go, oh wow, what about this New 122 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: South Wales has got sixteen five percent of possession. Yeah, 123 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: well they have because Queensland make errors. We get repeat 124 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: sets and we score tries which when they kick off. Yeah, 125 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: like it's no revelation. When you do those things, well 126 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: you're going to get line share possession. Yeah yeah. 127 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: And like you said, with the kicking game, like really 128 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: took advantage of the obviously the individual height and attacking 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 2: our attacking strengths which was the kick targets, but also 130 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 2: just how clever they were in some of those repeat sets, 131 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: particularly Loui just dribbling in behind, catching wealsh out a 132 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: few times. They obviously whilst did a lot of video 133 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: obviously on Mitchell Moses being the predominant kicker, so he 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: was hugging that side a lot. And it was a 135 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: good sign that Jerome was kind of overcalling a lot 136 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: of the time to get it because you could see 137 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: while she out. 138 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Of position, Mitch Moses with star, no doubt about it. 139 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: But but Jerome Leui, he was excellent. And you know what, coops, 140 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: part of their performance, the Harvest performance was in this game. 141 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: They'll give them full control, they give them completely. Now 142 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: let me explain. Let me explain that in the New 143 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: South Wales side, if they're not careful, they get the 144 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: balance wrong. Given the fact we got Jake Travoyevich and 145 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: we got Isaiaho coming off the bench, two guys who 146 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: are ball players in themselves, now that is so easy 147 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: to become sideways and pass happy, and we had there 148 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: was a fair bit of that in game one. You know, 149 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen Isaiah play so sideway 150 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: as he did in Game one. Go back and watch 151 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the game. Jake and Isaiah everything they did was just 152 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: run first. Jake sometimes got that ball and what have 153 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: miss something on? And he had the disciplines and going no, 154 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm just going to take the adds Isaiah Yoe. I 155 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: believe I'm slowly wrong. I'm almost certain did not pass 156 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: the ball to the sixty fifth minute. That's and what 157 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: that did, Coop, That gave full control of the halves. 158 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: The halves ran the show. 159 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you said, that first game, they were 160 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: playing sideways and a lot of that came off playing 161 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: off slow play the balls. It did jeez tonight, the 162 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 2: quick play the ball Cam Murray paying Haas in particular, 163 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: some of the quick play the balls they're getting. Then 164 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: the rock speed they were creating for the halves and 165 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: for you know your Gerbos and Isaiaho's the ball playing 166 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: like it just allowed us to actually play good quality 167 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: fast football because that game won. Much like Queensland and 168 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: the opposite. They were actually really slow play the balls, 169 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: and then they tried to do what we did game 170 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 2: one with they like, we haven't we haven't shot a 171 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: shot yet, we need to start playing some footy. And 172 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 2: that's when you see Tom did and the blokes like 173 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: that come up with airs because they're playing off slow 174 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: play the balls and Mitch Moses is just shutting them down. 175 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: We did mate with the side they picked. It was 176 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: very easy. How it was easy to pick where they 177 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: were going to play. They're going to rip, They're going 178 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: to blitz right through the middle of Queensland. So Queensland 179 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. But 180 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: it's another thing to stop it, to control the speed 181 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: of the play of the balls. Excuse me, no worries. 182 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: And so for New South Wales, the guys who really 183 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: blitzed them through the middle pain has Brian to Brian 184 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: who just never gets dominated, rolls foot here. He was 185 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: a real unsung hero, scored two tries, but just what 186 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: he did in yard, it has to Dylan Edwards. Dylan 187 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: Edwards just didn't stop. He just chipped away and chipped away. 188 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: And nothing makes a big middle defender tire like missing 189 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: little guys with footwork. It just burns them out. It's 190 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: like boxer. When boxers throw a punch and they hit 191 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: the target, it doesn't suck, really suck juice out of 192 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: the tank. When they throw a punch and they miss, 193 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: that's the thing that really choose up their energy. And 194 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: it's the same with middle defenders. When little guys get 195 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: in there with footwork and they're spinning around and they're 196 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: beating one, they're beating two. Mate. That takes it takes 197 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: an enormous toll. And I thought, and I thought that 198 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Zach Lomax was again very good yardage even. 199 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: And underestimated quality of Jerome Leui. And he does it 200 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: a lot. But even when he just gets on that 201 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: left with nothing on and kind of just just comes 202 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: back across and sometimes nothing might really come of it, 203 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: but just the fact that he skips back across and 204 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: forces the opposite, like the middle forwards on the other 205 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: side of the field, to have to come up and 206 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: come up square and worry about him. It just zaps gas, 207 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: like it just DAPs so much gas out of those 208 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: middle forwards. 209 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: And Liam Martin and Angus Crichton complimented Mitchell Moses and 210 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: Jerome Lewie so well it was a little like, okay, 211 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: the reasonable one primarily is it was on ball control, 212 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: discipline and aggression in defense. But there were some nice 213 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: but you need to be able to score points, and 214 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: there was a couple of really nice little tactics. If 215 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: you go back and watch it a couple of times 216 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: the ball players Mitchell Moses the first try with lean 217 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: Martin leam Martin effectively, which appears to be running a 218 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: bad line. He's running a parallel line to Mitch Moses. 219 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: But at the very last second he straightens and that 220 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: he's straightened it between Didon and Hammer threw them completely 221 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: off and went through Angus Crichton did one in the 222 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: second half as well. Now that is just a subtle thing, 223 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: but it's just clever. It's just it's clever smart. 224 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: His line was just on the outside of Didon's site. 225 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: So his first instinct when he sees Moses pass is 226 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: I need it. He's on my outside shoulder. And you 227 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: see diden In that first try just turn turny shoulders outwards. 228 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: And when when Martin rather than running that undersline from 229 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: the start where he didn't to put him on one 230 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: shoulder and just tackle him because his first movements on 231 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: the way out and as he turns out, Martin does 232 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: that nice little straighten. It's, you know, like you said 233 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: with the punchers slip, like he just misses him by 234 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: that little bit because Didn's on the way out, he's 235 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: on the way in. 236 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: It it's a beautiful tendency, it was. And what it 237 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: does coop when the back rower and the half when 238 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: they run a parallel line like a bad line, what 239 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: that encourages the defense to do is slide with them. Yeah, 240 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: and they slide and the straighten. It's the thing that 241 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: catches him out. Let's talk about okay, let's talk about 242 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: the big moments, and all of these big moments just 243 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: about stem all of them just about stem for Marors. 244 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: So New south Wales's first try, our first attacking set. 245 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: The thing I really liked about at coop was patience. 246 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: We saw in game one New south Wales panic a 247 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: little bit and put some rush kick in a rush 248 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: kick in resulted in seven tackles set. New south Wales 249 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: were down on their first attack instead of six. They're 250 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: given two six agains, which tests are half's patience because 251 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: you go throwing so much at them and and I 252 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: believe and I believe in that we got to We've 253 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: got a repeat set as well, a little grabber through 254 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: and a repeat set and that resulted in the Liam 255 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: Martin try. But again comes back to the point, we 256 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: just didn't rush. We went. It's funny, isn't When you're 257 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: going with the attitude that you're going to build your 258 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: game bit by bit, sometimes the points just flail. 259 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this might be going a little bit ahead, 260 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: but a huge key moment for me. We're talking about 261 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: not rushing. Jerome Lui gets tackled right and his boot 262 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: comes off and and it's fifth tackle. The worst thing 263 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 2: in the world for a kicker is when somebody takes 264 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: ages on fifth tackle to play the ball, like because 265 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: you get a heap of kick pressure. Coins ain't got 266 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: a heap of time to get set and they would 267 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: have put kick pressure on Moses And I was thinking, jeez, Jerome, 268 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: you're not helping Mitch here at all. Fifth tackle, Like 269 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: he wants to put an attack kicking, but they use 270 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: that like they were so patient use that time. Mitch 271 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: looks up, sees Reese Walsh not really watching what he's doing. 272 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: He's he's standing over near the post, thinking that they're 273 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: going to do a kick for Crichton, and Mitch goes 274 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: for bugger this while while he's just standing over there, 275 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: shoots down the short side while she doesn't even notice 276 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: him going down there, plays the ball, goes down, takes 277 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: it into the line, just dribbles it behind for one 278 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: of the easiest tries of the night for Brian, Like 279 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: little and like you said, a lot of the stuff 280 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: come from Eras. That was for me that really epitomized 281 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: Queensland's attitude on the night, where it was just a 282 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: lack of attention to detail. 283 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Well the other one, Coop, we gave our first try 284 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: away in game one from as second seven tackle set. 285 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Our second try Queensland dial bit of a rush kick, 286 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: desperation kick rolls over the en goal. We marched downfield 287 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: and I think it was Mitch Moses puts in a 288 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: really quality kick and Stephen Crichton comes down, grabs the 289 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: hammer and just drags him into the goal, injures him 290 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: as well, hurts his shell, drags him into the ingal. 291 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: We get a repeat set and what is really crucial 292 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: here is we get the repeat set and in the 293 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: next set of six coup. What I really like is 294 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: that Jerome Lui doesn't stuff around with Latrell. He catches that, 295 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: he takes one step to sort of half committees man. 296 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: Then he goes ping and he shoots the ball to 297 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Latrell to give Latrell time. Now you watch right when 298 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: Latrell gets that ball and he's got vowel on him 299 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and vows in his sights. But Xavier Coats, who fantastic wing, 300 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: a great defensive winger. But the presence of Latrelle he 301 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: just gravitates towards him. He just doesn't trust that vow 302 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: can wrap him up, and you just watch Xavier, he 303 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: just gravitates so slightly and Latrell goes bang flip past 304 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: to Brian too and they score. 305 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a quality try though, and like you said, 306 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: the presence of Latrell although he's not he wasn't and 307 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: we sort of said the first fifteen minutes, you know, 308 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: when's Latrell going to implement himself on this game? Because 309 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: you've seen a lot of blokes out of the backfield 310 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: taking tough carries. Latrol probably didn't get his hands on 311 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: the footy as much as he would have wanted to. 312 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: But that's where he comes into his pre like moments 313 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: like that when there's just no other center in the 314 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: game that puts a team under that and puts that 315 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: much doubt into an opposition winger where he goes val 316 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: is not going to be able to make this one 317 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: on one tackle and it just allows him to put 318 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: away Brian Tyner. 319 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: And New Sol's third try again Queensland give away another 320 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: penalty and we scored the next next set of six, 321 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: we masched down the field and and this time Mitchell 322 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: Merses puts just a perfect attacking kick for Lomax who 323 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: leaps out of the top scores a great try. What 324 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: did Mitch We interview Mitch Pierce in preview on the origin, 325 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: What was the what was the crucial thing that he 326 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: said about origin and what you do in attack? 327 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, your fifth tackle is the most important 328 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: play and sometimes just putting it up there and creating 329 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: one on one contest for your kick targets is the 330 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: best player you can do instead of Origin and Coop. 331 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: This is why field position is so important. When you 332 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: win the yardage battle, you win the you win field position. 333 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: When you win field position, you are constantly in a 334 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: position for attacking kicks and eventually you're going to pinch try. Yeah, 335 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: eventually you're going to get one fourth try another queens 336 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: Land era they kick out in the fall from the kickoff. 337 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: That's when you know sides off their game, they're having 338 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: got their heads on. New South Wales marched down another 339 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: gem of an attacking kick Bryan to second try, fifth try. 340 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: Coops another queens Land era again. New South Wales capitalize 341 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: and Angus Crichton again go on. Look, Angus Crichton goes 342 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: straight through on the Liam Martin line, little parallel line, 343 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: little straight and Lake goes through the line Dylan edwards. 344 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: He passes off to Latrelle and Latrell goes over. 345 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: Talking point from that, try a few people saying forward pass. 346 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: What was your take, because as a ball player, you 347 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: know what it's like when you're getting inside pressure and 348 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 2: you play short in your back rower and you fade 349 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: off on your pass. Sometimes it gives the mirage like 350 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: it was a forward pass. Did you see it that way? 351 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: Think so? But you're right. Sometimes when the playmaker he 352 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: might have just basically flattened out the last second or 353 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: just pulled back a little bit to Jerome and they 354 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: gave the impression. But I think out of his hands 355 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: and went backwards. Yeah. 356 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: Talking about Angus Crichton, geez, that is as good a 357 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 2: game as I've seen him play of the last as 358 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: far back as I can remember, that was probably Gussy. 359 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: He's one of the best games I've ever seen him play. 360 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: He has had a remarkable last four or five weeks. Yeah, 361 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: he was mighty and staut of Origin one. Yeah he 362 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: is general like too. It's funny. When do you think 363 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: let's go back, what was the turnaround do you think 364 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: in Angus Crichton's football this year? Yeah, I can't. Well, 365 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is. When the Roosters signed 366 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: David for FEDA. When they signed David Feeder, Angus Crichton 367 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: come out and basically said a few things. He was 368 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: filthy and from that from that moment he has elevated 369 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: his game. Give them what Angus has gone through in 370 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: the last early months. I don't think I've ever seen 371 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: a turnaround like it. 372 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, absolutely you. I think you and 373 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: Connor Watson, when he was on your show last week 374 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 2: on the Sunday Show, said it, hum and Angus Crichton 375 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: were playing reserve grade in round one of this year 376 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: and then talk about a turnaround. Two State of Origin 377 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: players were playing, you know ten twelve weeks ago, are 378 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: in reserve grade. Imagine being that reserve grade player coming 379 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: up finishing a day's work and then the next day 380 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: turning up and you're playing against two blokes that in 381 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: ten weeks time, we're playing Statum Origin. What a nightmare. 382 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: The last tried full half time to make it thirty four. 383 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: I love this because we spoke a lot about this 384 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: going into the game for a playmaker, the nightmare of 385 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: attacking against Stephen Crichton and Stephen Crichton, and this one 386 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: takes the intercept. You know, Coops. Is what I love 387 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: about Crichton. This book makes him so dangerous, right, is 388 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: that he runs a really strong system on his edge. 389 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: You can see he's talking to the blokes. He's rallying 390 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: his adjustable part on the inside and he's talking to 391 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: his winger on the outside. But I'll tear what he does, 392 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: Coops is that he I've never seen a center who 393 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: can basically, he anticipates, He reads a playmaker's intentions so well. Yeah, 394 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: and look at all the big games like for Sam 395 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: in the World Cup semi final against him and picked 396 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: off an intercept in the Grand finally against how Cidney 397 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: picked off Cody with an intercept and picked one off. 398 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: Here is that he'll go up. If a ball player 399 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: wants to take the ball all the way into the 400 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: line and look for the absolute pass mate, Crichton will 401 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: pick him off. Yeah, And that's you know yourself Coops. 402 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: When you'll play against those players down that edge, My god, 403 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: you find yourself second guessing all the time. Ryan Gurdley 404 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: used to be able to pick off intercepts brilliantly as well, 405 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: and whenever you went down his edge, you're going, how 406 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: do I throw it or don't I? They have presents. 407 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: Selwyn Cobbos like that as well. When we've done video 408 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 2: on the Broncos in the past. The same thing they 409 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: used to say, be so careful when you're attacking against 410 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: Selwyn because he'll go for intercepts at any time, and 411 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: you find yourself in the game sometimes just throwing a 412 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 2: dummy just because when you should have passed, sometimes just 413 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: because Selwyn's there. Same with Jason Sarp when you're even 414 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: at training training against Salbi, someone who's so tall and 415 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 2: so quick, and you know if you throw an intercept 416 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: to them, it's a full field try. So you go 417 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 2: down there all the time as a ballplayer and your 418 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 2: second guess crit is no different and Critter actually anticipates 419 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: it better than anyone. 420 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: Well. Coop as a play makeout, what's the one thing 421 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: you see when you're going to win straight after you 422 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: get picked off in an intercept. You see space way 423 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: through it. Every intercept I threw, I looked and went 424 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: we got him. But all of a sudden that center 425 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: goes from sort of sliding and holding his shape to 426 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: go and bang. That's what Crichton does very very well. 427 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: He'll hold his shape and in fact, to night Coupe, 428 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: what was really interesting. I was interested in how they're 429 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: going to defend Rhys Walsh and he came around and 430 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: we said before the game, how do you defend him? 431 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: And me and Jack and we said, well you got 432 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: You've got to go outside him because if he speed. 433 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Have a look when they went around the back to 434 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Walsh first the first time in particular, Crichton went at 435 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: him and then goes back and just bides time, bids 436 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: times and trust the man inside him that he'll do 437 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: some of the leg work and pick him up. 438 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. Cameron Mounts used to be really good at that. 439 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: He used to call it, well, I mean it's a 440 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: common it's a common phrase, but balking so as a 441 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 2: as a half. Sometimes if there was a half, if 442 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: there was a fast fullback or a fast half out 443 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: the back and he wanted to give his back rower time, 444 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: he would pretend to jam so that they would slow up, 445 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: slow their run up to go for the quick hands. 446 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: And as just as he's like he'd knew they'd see 447 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: him coming, he just immediately back off. And that little 448 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: stutter that it causes in the ballplayers, which credit was 449 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: doing to wal She tonight just buys that half or 450 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: back rower and extra two meters to be able to 451 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: slide to get to him rather than allowing him just 452 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: full steam and using his gas. 453 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: It's very it's it's such a subtle. 454 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: Thing in defense, but it makes such a huge difference 455 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: for your age. 456 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Natural natural, natural footballers do that. Like what frustrates me 457 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: when some of the stuff I see with the modern game, 458 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: cup is that coaches will put a system in place 459 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: and the outside man will just come hell high water, 460 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: just follow that system and rush in. And that's why 461 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: you see, you know on those sweep lines, those block shapes, 462 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: when you've got Rus Walsh and back in the day 463 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: Billy coming around the back and as soon as they 464 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: catch they throw double cutout. Now they throw double cut 465 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: out not because they see it. It's because they're watching 466 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: the tape and they know that's the tendency of the 467 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: winger whereas really really smart defensive players. They know when 468 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: to stay in the system and they know when to 469 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: break out of it. 470 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, majority of edge systems and a lot of 471 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: punters at home would have picked this up. Like everybody's 472 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: checklist is. If you're a winger and your Santa Jams, 473 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: you just have to follow in on the next man. 474 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: But the best wingers they follow in. 475 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: But then they also. 476 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: Read the pass so they can get in the passing 477 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: lane and take That's where the best players take your 478 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 2: inner steps, and then they might be able to knock 479 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: the ball down to save a try. 480 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: This is what this is. One concernle to get out 481 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: of the game. And it was the same in Game one. 482 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: I know for a fact that Billy his thing was 483 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: that we're going to shoot down the left hand side 484 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: of the field when SWI he was there. The combination 485 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: was Swly and Lomas and Billy made the point to Queensland, 486 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: he said. Lomax more often than not finds himself slightly 487 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: dislocated or disconnected, sorry from his center. Happened again tonight. 488 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Happened again a couple of times. There was a try 489 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: in the second half. I think it might have been 490 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: Queensland's second try. When you go back and watch it, 491 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: Crichton sort of goes up and holds his shape and 492 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: it's just it's subtle. Lomax is just two steps behind 493 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: him and that's enough. 494 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: It's a They go down a short side, Harry Grant 495 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: takes off down the half, it goes Deard and quick hands. 496 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 2: Crichton has to come in on Deer and they're down 497 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: a number. Quick hands to Hammer and Lomax, like you're saying, 498 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: just disconnected with his center, and then Hammer puts away 499 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: Murray and then they kick for Hammer. It is it 500 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: is a tendency that we did say that the Queenslanders 501 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 2: are looking to expose. So hopefully it gets fixed up 502 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 2: and game through. 503 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: Another big warning for New South Wales and I'm sure 504 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: that Madge will be reminding them straight after the game. 505 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: Is that second half all the New South Wales's errors 506 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: or penalties Queensland's goored off. Yeah, So that Queensland making 507 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: errors in US scoring wasn't exclusive to New South Wales. 508 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: It's just that we were more disciplined. But the error 509 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: we did, the errors we made and the penalties we 510 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: gave away, they scored off. Yeah. 511 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: In that second half. Yeah, that and like we said earlier, 512 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 2: that probably came down to more of a ill disciplined, 513 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 2: a little bit of Q and into the rack sort 514 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: of thing. But I mean in a game like State 515 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: of Origin, when you've lost game one, you know you 516 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: haven't really the team itself hadn't really proved a lot yet, 517 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 2: Like they should have been really wanting to be really 518 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: squeaky again, to have a really good eighty minute performance 519 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: to practice for Game three up at sun Court, because 520 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: that's going to be a huge test for a lot 521 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: of these players. 522 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: Right, Let's talk about some of the key battles that 523 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: we're going to define this game. Reece Walsh versus New 524 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: South Wales ed edge defense. As we said before, Stephen Crichton, 525 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: rather than go outside in sort of went at him 526 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: and then steadied it off. But again we go back 527 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: to the point just that one warning. You know for 528 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Zaki Lomax, he's got a look brilliant attack, but again 529 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: he can't be disconnected because Billy's going to look at 530 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: it and he's going to give boys, We've got him 531 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: game one, got him in game two. That's where we're 532 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: gon in games. I thought they left. 533 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: Latrell alone a lot more than I would have thought. 534 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: I know in time's gone past that when Latroll was 535 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: playing center, they really wanted to make him work an 536 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: attack in defense to take away his attack. I think 537 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: probably given the way they started, they probably lost their 538 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: way a little bit game plan wise, but they didn't 539 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: attack down that edge a whole heap. 540 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I guess what coop when they did made him monster them. Yeah, Latrell. 541 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: So here's the thing before we talk about Latroll and 542 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: the other key battles. Here's the thing before I forget it. 543 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: And we said this going into game two, before they 544 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: selected the teams. To an extent, form current form with 545 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: players is a moons to an end, but State of 546 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: Origin is about picking the best players, pick your greatest players, 547 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: because great players elevate themselves. There was a big question 548 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: about Latrell. You know with fitness wise, he's going to 549 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: do it. You know, he hasn't played in the centers 550 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: for a while. He elevates himself like he just goes 551 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: to another level. And you know you see Crichton do it, 552 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: and many many times you've in the State of Origin 553 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: made back in the day with Wally Lewis there were 554 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: times that Wally Lewis didn't look fit at all. He 555 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: wasn't really playing that good, you know, back in the 556 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: Queensland competition. But he's always the first blow pick and 557 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: most times think he got the most mean of the 558 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: matches ever in State of Origin history. Because great players 559 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: can elevate themselves. Don't get fooled into the fact of saying, oh, 560 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: you know this great play. He's a great player, but 561 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: he's not playing that well. Forget about it. When they 562 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: get on the bigger stage, they will perform. That's what 563 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: they do. Latrell versus Vow. I like that match up 564 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: before the match because Latrell's size, his speed, his presence. 565 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: He won that clearly. 566 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah is he? Yeah, he played outstanding the trol. 567 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: Like you said, not a heap of not a heap 568 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: of involvements. He's not that kind of player. But when 569 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 2: he did get it, he just owned it and he 570 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: dominated every Yeah. 571 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: Stephen Crichton hammersa again, that was going to be a 572 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: really portant matchup for us. First touch Stephen Crichton straight 573 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: over the top of the hammer. 574 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. And to be to be fair that that battle 575 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: I I sort of gave an even kind of battle. 576 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I reckon that second half, Hammer got 577 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: it over him in terms of they made a couple 578 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: of line breaks down there, Hamma scored a really good try. 579 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 2: I mean in terms of subduing that edge. Critter did 580 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 2: a huge job in because that game one, it was 581 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: it was a it was a hemorrhaging that just couldn't stop. 582 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 2: But Critter over there today, especially that first half, like 583 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: he absolutely dominated defensively. I just think Hammer Hammer had 584 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: a pretty good impact that second half as well. 585 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Coops with Crichton. It's a lot of the stuff you 586 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: don't see, like you know when when they go to 587 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: an edge, like when did and all the playmaker or 588 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: rs Walsh will go to the edge and then they 589 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: go it's not on and they just the other way. Mate. 590 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: That's that's the quality of a defensive decision by Stephen Krst. 591 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: And there was one in the second half as well 592 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: where Hamma got the ball now had a bit of 593 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: space and most times with the ham of people will 594 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: go oop and they'll pull back. Mate, Crichton just went bang, 595 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: hit him around the waist and just dropped him. Yah. 596 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: He goes out of him, mate, so confident with his 597 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: because it's so especially some of that quick. If you 598 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: go at him sometimes you lose your footing. But he's 599 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: so confident that he's because he's long too. Yeah, once 600 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: he gets a hold of it, he doesn't like. 601 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: That's part of the reason picking those inner steps off. 602 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: And Mitch Moses versus d c your mate, old teammate 603 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: d Cuyah, Look, Mitch won by knockout. Yeah, but he 604 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: won by nick. But but what do we say about halves. 605 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: They're at the mercy of their forwards. 606 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Chess didn't. He couldn't do a lot. 607 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: They were They were completely out physical and they would 608 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 2: out aggressed. From the first ten minutes. Mitch Moses played 609 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: outstanding four tr assists. I don't know the last time 610 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 2: I've seen a halfback in one game of say of 611 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 2: Origin a four tri sis. It could be the most ever. Really, 612 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: I was. 613 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: Trying to think the ones. Maybe thirst and back then Joey. 614 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: I think Joey and Hit the big comeback game he 615 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: played in might have done four. But yeah, it's very rare. 616 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, to have four direct try involvements is outstanding. 617 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: Who's your who are your five best players? 618 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: And my five best players are is this in order? 619 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to throw them out there, Mitch Moses. Obviously 620 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 2: you got player of the match. He was outstanding, controlled 621 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: very well. Brian Totter from the first carry you said, 622 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: it just continued to find his front the whole time. 623 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: Didn't get never been put on his back like a baby. 624 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: Like his haircut too. The had the cut, the hair 625 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: short for the occasion. Fresh fade, Yes, fresh fade. You 626 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: know you know players are right? Did you just get 627 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: a haircut? Four big games? I always did. 628 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: I liked Yeah, I liked it a couple of days before, 629 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 2: not a day before, because sometimes too fresh. The boys, 630 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 2: particularly in the modern game, now, if you have a 631 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: fresh fade or a haircut, the boys would slap you 632 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: in the back of the head. Did you ever have 633 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 2: that back in your day? No, No, the boys do 634 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 2: it now. So if you have a fresh fade, if 635 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 2: anyone sees it, they'll say, I like your cut. I'll 636 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: slap the back of your head like they'll slap where 637 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: the fade is at. 638 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: Juvenile. 639 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is as childish. Latrell Mitchell, like you said, 640 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 2: he was outstanding. Pained hears, Oh wow, I thought he 641 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: was just like I think he ran. Jack was reading 642 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: the stats. Actually the first twenty three minutes. Apparently you 643 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: already had nearly one hundred meters. 644 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: It was nineteen minutes in ran for over one hundred meters, 645 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: like who does? 646 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: He was the machine. And then our man Angus Crichton, 647 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: Gus Buss. He was outstanding, just so physical. That shot 648 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: he got Vale Holmes with Jesus, he really knocked him out. 649 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Don't use the lord's name, mate forgiven when it comes 650 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: to Angut Crichton. So Mitch Moses best game of his career, 651 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Mitch even at club Land, yep, best gam of his career. 652 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: He he was very good in Game three last year, 653 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: but had long absence because of his foot, little questions 654 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: about you know, because because he didn't shoot the lights 655 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: out for Paramatta on those two games on return. But 656 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Madge had faith in him, and we've been looking around 657 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: for a long time to find we said, Mitch, Yeah, 658 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: they probably since Joey retired. We've gone through that many 659 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: halves trying to find the right solution. Have me able 660 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,959 Speaker 1: to find it? We might have found it. 661 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well obviously as well, Mitch has always had knocks 662 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: on his career about fading in and out of games, 663 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: you know, where he'd have these real good twenty thirty 664 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: minute periods of attacking brilliance and then he kind of 665 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: go on the back burner. It was always a big thing. 666 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 2: Everyone was like, you can't play for eighty minutes, But 667 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: today he was in it for the whole. I think 668 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: he's a dad now. 669 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: He's mature. 670 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: As harves get more mature, they start to, you know, 671 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 2: really develop their game, and maybe I should have stayed 672 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: in the game. 673 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: Say, it's funny when I had you my football went 674 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: backwards Angus Crichton Powerhouses. I'd never seen a career turned 675 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: around like it. Jerome Lewi, I'll put in there. I 676 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: think it was the most response discipline game I've seen 677 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: your own play. Just moments in attack where he would 678 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: save the set by just using a bit of patience, 679 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: composure and then composing himself on that last tack, a 680 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: little couple of little left foot dinks into the goal 681 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: He's kicking was outstanding. Payne has he got New South 682 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: Wales really quick. You've got to start well in those 683 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: big Origin games. He got New South Wales dominating early 684 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: and you know, if you talk about another big matchup, 685 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: he versus Paddy Carrigan, No doubt paying one that over, 686 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,479 Speaker 1: he's Bronco's team mate. 687 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good list. 688 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: Can I ask last one? I had Liam Martin? Oh, 689 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: Liam Martin aggressive, He complemented his ballplayers and everything he did, 690 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: and it were worth a mention too. I look Dylan 691 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: ed was kem Murray, Latrelle and Zach Lomax. But the 692 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: other guys were my five. 693 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 2: Can I ask you looking? Need to ask just no, no, 694 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 2: That's how I to segue this question in going looking 695 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 2: forward to game three? For one second? Can I look 696 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: forward there? I want to ask you Mitch Moses obviously 697 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: the game of his career, talking about changes. If Nathan 698 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: Cleary comes back in the next couple of weeks and 699 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 2: players outstanding. Obviously Nathan is the reigning best player in 700 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 2: the world. If he comes back, do you think about 701 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: putting him in the side, whether it be him and 702 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 2: Moses in the Hearts together or taking Moses out. 703 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: You got to stick with the winning side, coops. You 704 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: got to stick when you win, particularly if we win 705 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: by a field gold or it's a bit of a 706 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: scratchy performance, but we win by two points, there's a 707 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: possibility you cannot change that side. 708 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll ask you this then, So Jerome Lewi gets hurt. 709 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: Would someone like Nathan Cleary coming into the side being 710 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 2: partnered with Mitch Moses, would it take away from Mitch 711 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 2: Moses's game or would you keep mich Moses with more 712 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 2: of a running five eight like a Nika or Cody Walker. 713 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: That's a good question, Kuobs. They never played together because 714 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: they're they're both seven. Look the thing about it is 715 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 1: they're both really intelligent footballers. They work out the balance 716 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: and work out the chemistry and talk about double the 717 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: trouble with their kicking games. But again, coming back to 718 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: the fact is what Madge did a really good job 719 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: with in this game is giving all the power to 720 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: Mitch Enter Jerome. Come back to the point, j J. Voyvich. 721 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: Just run the ball. Don't worry about those little passes 722 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: out the back. Isaiah, who's I think probably the most 723 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: intelligent player in the camp. I still maintain that no 724 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: passing at one pass sixty fifth minute, Just run the ball, 725 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: leave it to the halves, play simple, put all our 726 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: energies into that last tackle option. That's what we did 727 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: really well. But again, he's something for you because you know, 728 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: you know Billy very well. Billy has been testy this 729 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: Origin series. I'll tell you what he versus Madge going 730 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: into this third game is going to be entertaining the 731 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: old glasshouses. 732 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 2: I know, I like the glasshouses. Come. I love that. 733 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 2: One of the reporters in the press conference before the 734 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: day before the game, did. 735 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: You see that? So a reporter. 736 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 2: They had a press like an open press conference in 737 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: Melbourne where reporters and fans were there, and the first 738 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 2: question they said, Hey, Billy, what's your what's your house 739 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 2: made of? And he goes, Oh, it's got to be 740 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: a glass in it. I thought that is so funny. 741 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,959 Speaker 2: What a ballsy comment for a reporter to say. 742 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: It's funny, isn't When reporters turn up sometimes its state 743 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: of origin time because a lot of the reporters, it's 744 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: sort of like a it's a it's a mass media 745 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: covering it. There's a lot of the media will turn 746 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: up there, probably don't understand like they might be fans, 747 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: but they do ask naiva questions some of them or 748 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: some of them just sort of misjudge and go to 749 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: make a funny comment just that you just and you 750 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: see the coaches just go straight back at him, but 751 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: it'll be you know, and it worked, like in my opinion, 752 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: like everyone's a questioning game right, well, why would Madge 753 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: say that? And the conclusion they came to was the 754 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 1: fact that it took pressure off the players. It took 755 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: pressure off everyone talking about Latrell going to Well took 756 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: some of that talk away from Latrell and to the 757 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: other thing. Latrell's presence in turn took pressure off Dylan Edwards. 758 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards wasn't spoken about nearly as much as when 759 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: he was first selected in game one. And you know 760 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: that was a ballsy decision from Madge, you know, to 761 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: drop Teddy. Teddy was good in game one, but for 762 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Madge to stay the course and say no, no, no, 763 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm going back to Dylan Edwards. The formula of this 764 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: football side needs to change. 765 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 2: Can I ask a question about what we've spoken a 766 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 2: lot about New South Wales Queensland game three? Is there 767 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 2: any changes you think for that? Yeah? 768 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think Billy will just keep 769 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: that side. He'll back him to get it right. 770 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,959 Speaker 2: If a Cameron Munster comes back, maybe for one week. 771 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 2: I don't know how Money's injuries going, would you put 772 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 2: him in? Apparently the boys say he's been bouncing around 773 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 2: training looking pretty good, So Coop, I think he walks 774 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 2: back in. 775 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: Let's go back. Let's go back to my point five 776 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: minutes ago. Great players elevate themselves. I don't there without 777 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: a shadow of doubt in my opinion. 778 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 2: One more question going, One more question for you then 779 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 2: on would you ever consider if your bill is later, 780 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: considering how well he played there in game one, would 781 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 2: you ever consider maybe, and you know Reese wasn't at 782 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 2: his best tonight he put his hand up Recye Walsh, 783 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 2: would you consider Hammer going back to fullback and bringing 784 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: so Cobo back into the side. 785 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it'll happen. I think 786 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 1: there'll be consideration with Selwyn. If Selwyn's right to go, 787 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: I think there'll be consideration because historically that game, the 788 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: game at Saint Corps Stadium, the origin of Sun Courts Stadium. 789 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: You can move the ball around, it's it's onus, is 790 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: on attack, it's advantage attack as opposed to defense. So 791 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: I think I think it's Selwyn's right to go. I 792 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: think he'll I can see him going back on the 793 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: bench but Reese, He'll keep ree. Reese was underdone tonight. 794 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: Let let's like Reese has played very little football of late, 795 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: had the bad knockout, missed football there and his comeback 796 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: he came back pretty cold, like he hasn't had much football, 797 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: and you know, to miss all that football and then 798 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: come back at that level. 799 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, playing behind it a pack that has. 800 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: Been dominated heavily, then yeah, Bill Billy will He'll stick 801 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: the course with Rees, no doubt about it. Well, Coops, 802 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that was Oh, these are beautiful those 803 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: who are listening. For those who are listening, He's just 804 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 1: picked up a photo with Ja t Voivich that he's 805 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: printed out. 806 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 2: Put him on the front. We're going to give him. 807 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: What a head? What a head it is. It's a 808 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 1: real boof head, isn't it. 809 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerbo's got a head only a mother who could 810 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: could love? 811 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: Jake, give you a kiss on Ah. Well, nice work boys, 812 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: congratulations Madge, but came back to the fat cannot wait 813 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: for game three anyway, Coops. Let's go and get some sleep. 814 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,959 Speaker 1: I've got my Jimmy James on. Let's hit the sack, 815 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: go and rub one out.
