1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: As you, Coop, you enjoy magic ground, survived it, survived

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: it better than you.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: You're right.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm good mate, Good Coop. I'll tell you my philosophy

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: in life. I don't want my last rights and.

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 3: Ministered to me. And I'm sitting there thinking I should

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: have just had one more beer.

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: So how many times did you say that yourself?

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Get plenty of count three times, sad day.

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed it.

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was I

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: thought some of the performances were bringing. Let's talk about

13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: some of the individual performances they Coop metcalf Geezy playing

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: good football.

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: For a guy afterwards at nine rounds and the inexperience.

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: We're in the seven jersey. He's got the Warriors in

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 4: the part of his hand. And I'm not talking just

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 4: the team. He's got the up the Wars and everything

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 4: going with them. There's a lot of momentum. And as

20
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: a young half, when you're trying to put your fingerprints

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: on a football team, there's probably two ways you need

22
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: to do it.

23
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: One is your defense.

24
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: Like if you're going to tell Mitch I had to

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: run through a brick wall, you've got to put your

26
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: head in the spot to gain the respective him and

27
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: the other way is the communication about getting the team

28
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: around the field.

29
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: And he's doing both of it.

30
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: He's doing it incredibly well.

31
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: And I've we have even spoken about his skill and

32
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: passing the running game. They're the things that are half

33
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: gains respect.

34
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: For the rest of the team.

35
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing in that coop, like what he

36
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: is doing at the moment, people got to understand.

37
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: You can't underestimate how difficult it is.

38
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Given the fact that as you said, he's organizing the side,

39
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: he's owning the side, he's running the side, but he's

40
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: not losing that individuality that made him such a good player.

41
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: That is that's really hard to do.

42
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 4: And following in Shawan Johnson's footsteps, so that's that's a

43
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: difficult thing to do.

44
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: He, I believe, went to Andrew Webster in the off

45
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: season said I want to run this team. He said that,

46
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: and I heard about him and the wind fletching. HEINDI

47
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: they were sitting on the side London the commentary for

48
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: KO and they said he was so vocal on the field.

49
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: But the great thing about which I really love about

50
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the kid was after the game he went to them

51
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: and sat and they had a bit of fun to talk.

52
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: But they said off camera he was just talking about football.

53
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: They said he is a footing heard this kid.

54
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Really loves his whole life and that I think that's

55
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: really important.

56
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 4: And I think when you see young half be able

57
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: to communicate that to the media and do interviews after

58
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: the game. He definitely does that in the film room,

59
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: in the review, in the video he's able to tell

60
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 4: everyone and articulating it away. And the Warriors are back

61
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: some of those scenes after that game against the Cowboys.

62
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: Down on the.

63
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: Crowd, singing, chanting, they travel everywhere, the Warriors.

64
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: Fans just turn up.

65
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: But there's something great about the Warriors when they're up

66
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: and about the fellows back from last year, but what

67
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: they did the year before. They almost might be on

68
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: the cast were playing top four footy for the rest

69
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: of this view.

70
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: If they can keep up this.

71
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: Momentum, Tedesca, I haven't seen him play much better than

72
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: at the moment.

73
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: He wound a clock back to the point that now

74
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: people are talking about him to see if he can

75
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: take the jersey off Edwards.

76
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: That's an amazing comeback.

77
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: It is to lose your jersey at that age and

78
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: then fight your way back.

79
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: I think the one thing when Tedesco puts it together,

80
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 4: he's probably got the best balance of all the fullbacks

81
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: of that hard work in the yardage part of the

82
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: field and then the finesse at the other end. So

83
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: when you can have twenty runs have two hundred meters,

84
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: ten of those runs helping the kick return, the other

85
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: ten setting up tries, that's where the balance is. Like

86
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: you think about Turbo and Edwards when they put it together,

87
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: they've got that good balance and Tedesco pinball mentality, good skill.

88
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was brilliant.

89
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: A big decision coming after Lorrie because Edwards was good

90
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: on the weekend.

91
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think Edward Edwards is the fullback and

92
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: Teddy's doing all the right things, but I think Edwards.

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to talk about toe in a minute

94
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: as we move on Nathan Cleary, but I can see

95
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Edwards has really missed tie that that's a really good

96
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: one two combination. Oftentimes you see I'll get there on Bryan,

97
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll bring it back on a kick return, Edwards will

98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: go play two, to go play three.

99
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: Like they just dominate the arding sets.

100
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: It's funny when origins around the corner, the gunplayers rise

101
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: a little bit in club level. Edwards went again, Nathan

102
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: went very well. Yeah, I think the origin selection around

103
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: the corner just makes good players stand up a little

104
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: bit clearer.

105
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: With the other outstanding performance Nathan Cleary.

106
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: His performance last week we spoke about him with his

107
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: cross plays one under two under and how it had

108
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: led he lost some thrust upfield to this week, Coop,

109
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: I've rarely seen him play so straight. There was a

110
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: marked change in his football and it works so well

111
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: like he he just kept peeling the Bronco short, particularly

112
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: on the left hand side of the field, made a big,

113
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: big difference to.

114
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: See that over exaggeration as a half, it's the space

115
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: that Alamonti needs to score this one. Here, see how

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: he just dies back to the right. The space is

117
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 4: created on the left. So when we talk about playing

118
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: north south, the whole idea of that is the more

119
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: direct you can play in the middle of the field

120
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: is the centimeter or the meter that the outside players need.

121
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: And I always sort of talk about if you think

122
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: you're playing square, you're actually not square enough. So over

123
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: exaggerate that squareness actually sets you on game day a

124
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: straight compass because he was obviously gun barrel straight and

125
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: down that left hand side. It was the difference between

126
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: score and tries and not.

127
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Made a big difference to his outside men, made a

128
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: big difference to his young players, particularly Blazed to Lungey.

129
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: It just gave Blaze just a little bit more room

130
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: and it allowed them to simplify their football. Yes, so

131
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: there wasn't as many complex sequences that make sense. I've

132
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: thought that oftentimes, and I love the complexity of their football.

133
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: It's just such it's great to watch the science of it.

134
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: But bringing a young guy into a team and wearing

135
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the six and trying to find his way, he can

136
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: get lost in that and I've seen that. But on

137
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: the weekend they're able to simplify, and he was really good.

138
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: The combinations coops are starting to form.

139
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: I don't think the simplicity of things is probably why

140
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 4: Craig Bellamy has been super successful over a long period

141
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: of time, because it doesn't matter if you're a three

142
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: hundred game or a new play. If you keep it simple,

143
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 4: there's more understanding of how you want to play.

144
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: And I think the Panthers did two things.

145
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: Nathan played way more direct and they simplified their football

146
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: in terms of just keeping it to one or two

147
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: things to do well, as opposed to, oh, we really

148
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: got these six plays, let's do it. They were just

149
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: doing the same things but doing it better than the Broncos.

150
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: And that was the difference between getting four points.

151
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: And getting that.

152
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Simplifying the game plan is going to be really really

153
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: important during the origin period.

154
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: They've got to keep winning.

155
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Now they do, and not having Nathan, not have Isaiah,

156
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: it's going to find it. You know, they can't play

157
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that complex with the guys they're going to put in.

158
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: So and I'll tell you what. Let's talk about what we.

159
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: Think of them going forward now, because I imagine after

160
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: the weekend's performance a lot of opinions have changed, maybe

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: not completely, but you know, a lot everyone, a lot

162
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: of people putting the lines straight through them. And I

163
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: think they adjusted that, particularly when you see miss Kenny

164
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: to come back and the one they really liked, the

165
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: one they have really missed, and you could see it

166
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: early in the game was Brian Tyner. Yeahs, you know,

167
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: like just about the best yardage player in the game,

168
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: and early in the game against the Broncos, they just

169
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: could get forward on play one and two, they couldn't

170
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: get traction at all. And that's like watching the first

171
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty minutes yesterday really highlighted to me how much

172
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: they've been missing Brian Tyer.

173
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one here, Zayo hardly ever gets picked up

174
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: and put on his back. The thing I like about

175
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: what Brian toal does two sideways here, and this was

176
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: after the first twenty minutes of the game, but then

177
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: they went more direct. The thing I like about Brian

178
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: total is his ability to do it from the first

179
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: effort to his last effort in the game. It allows

180
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: isaiahoh and Moses Liota like an extra couple of meters

181
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: of time and the ability to get some more energy

182
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: and refuel in the tank. Because Brian tot is a

183
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: lock for twenty runs two hundred meters. If your front

184
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: rower has to have an extra couple of efforts, it

185
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: just chews up the petrotank quicker does that, yes, yeah,

186
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: and defensively it hurts them as well. So not only

187
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: will Edwards get the benefit of title, I think Isaiahah

188
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: and Moses Leota will definitely see improvement in their game too.

189
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: The Raiders, I think Oricky won the competition with the

190
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: Roosters in two thousand and two.

191
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: I think this year, I think it's just about.

192
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: His finest coaching before up to this date.

193
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon.

194
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: One thing I really like about what Ricky and the

195
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: Raiders are doing is they have this strong, experienced forward

196
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 4: pack that have been doing what let's be honest, they've

197
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: been doing those.

198
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: Things for the last couple of years.

199
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, topenhap horse was gone to another level this year,

200
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: but then these young outside backs have really taken their

201
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: game to another level. And I think the key to it,

202
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: and I know he's leaving, but is Jamal Fogerty's kicking

203
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: game and decision making. He doesn't overplay his handover, but

204
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: he keeps that team on tracked, on track. It's it's

205
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: it's good half back play for an older guy who

206
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: probably doesn't have the speed in the footwork to break

207
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: open a line like a metcalf for a clear or

208
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 4: something like that. But he's doing a lot of the

209
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: work behind the scenes to keep that whole operation.

210
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: He binds everything together.

211
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: It's a lot We've spoken about Adam Reynolds before he

212
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: arrived at the Broncos. The Broncos had all this talent,

213
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: but had no one to bind it all together. You see,

214
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: I did that, and you know, and fair played to him.

215
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: And Ricky could have been a difficult week with distraction

216
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: with him signing elsewhere. We spoke to him after he

217
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: kicked that winning golden Golden Point and he was really chipper.

218
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and you know that's but the.

219
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: Improvement and the development of the young players in this

220
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: side is tribute to Ricky ko Weeks. I've seen Kayo

221
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: play quite a bit when he was coming through the

222
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: grades of Manly and he couldn't quite find his stride there,

223
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: couldn't quite get traction.

224
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: But he is here. Maddie Nicholson. Nicholson is a special player.

225
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: That try to send it to Golden Point in tough conditions,

226
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: bucketing down with rain, Nicholson runs a little sort of

227
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: outline on Cameron Munster and just has the ball in

228
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: two hands and pops it up to ko Weeks who

229
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: was anticipating it. He saw the space and pushed straight

230
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: through and for him to take on Pabenhausen one on one.

231
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: I think that play, with the game on the line,

232
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: sums up exactly where Ricky and the Raiders are at

233
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: if they can find the belief to play like that.

234
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: For the next well fifteen weeks, I'll tell you what, as.

235
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, mate, wins like even last week that Dolphins

236
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: when the first half they are horrible, but the second

237
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: half they just came out and just blitzed and win

238
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: the second half thirty. And then to beat the Melbourne

239
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: Storm and that all that effort to beat the Dolphins

240
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: week before. There's oftentimes you can exhale, absolutely can make

241
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: a side like Melbourne, but Ricky had them. It just

242
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: shows like they're mentally tough this year.

243
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: Do you think a couple of teams like Panthers and

244
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: three Tiger's five where they jump out of the pack

245
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: yep and catch five right toppy, do you think the

246
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: Raiders have something like that?

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: I would say a fortnight ago, I felt that this

248
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: young Raider's site, well, the Raiders side, we've got some

249
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: experienced plags, but I thought they're still twelve months away

250
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: from being a serious contender.

251
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm starting to change my mind.

252
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: It's probably why they wanted Jamel Foe to hang around

253
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: for twelve months.

254
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

255
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: To be honest, yeah, they probably thought the same thing.

256
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: But that they are doing all the right things.

257
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: To being down the door of teams who finals, teams

258
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: who win comps out of nowhere, and you just said

259
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: to Panthers No. Three now going into three, A lot

260
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: of people had Panthers to get the wooden spoon. I

261
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: think the year before that, right toward the bottom might

262
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: have been mid second last, I forget, but no one

263
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: gave him a chance.

264
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: Tigers in five very very similar as the fact they

265
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: came out of nowhere. Now, the thing that the Raiders

266
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: share in common with.

267
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: Those sides, if they've got a crop of just jumblows

268
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: coming through that are on the up, they're a fast

269
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: team and they play with a unique style. That's what

270
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: they share with the Tigers and the Panthers. And you

271
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: have to have a unique style if you're going to

272
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: win a competition out of nowhere and surprise we' you've

273
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: got to have that unique style of football.

274
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: And reference to Panthers, the makeup of that forward pack,

275
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: Panthers outside backs that they had to win that comp

276
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: Craig gow was the key.

277
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: Jamel Fogy. I think Ricky.

278
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: Knows that he's got a good team then, but I

279
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 4: think it's probably come a couple of weeks forward and

280
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 4: he's gone, hold, then I might have a team that

281
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: could win this comp.

282
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: It's funny and it coops like I saw Ricky after

283
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: the game and the team and Ricky. Ricky was really

284
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: emotional after the game that important win. And there's one

285
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: school of thought that says, hey, come on, boys, let's

286
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: cooper lid on it. But there's the other school of

287
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: thoughts that say, mate, we're growing in belief.

288
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: Let's just go with this.

289
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, big game this week, Raiders.

290
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: Does Raiders Jogs one v two two in Canberra three pm.

291
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: Mississ and key men.

292
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: They have been as well like and they're losing Preston

293
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: for this week. They're missus and you can see that

294
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: like yesterday, their attack has been the best. But yesterday

295
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: I can so sit down on the tape and said,

296
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, we played against the Titans side that were

297
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: below full strength and we can suited eighteen points. That

298
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: part of it were disappointing. I thought Crichton was incredible yesterday.

299
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 4: He and Kraz the Raiders and Dogs are going to

300
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: put two parts to both teams in terms of where

301
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: this game is one and loss. I think the Raid

302
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: is with that sort of young and youthful edge defense.

303
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm talking timco and said Chris, they need to have

304
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: their best defensive performance because if they don't stop kick

305
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: out on the left and crying on the right, the

306
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 4: Dogs will win. Right on the flip side, I think

307
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: the Dog's defense through the middle needs to stop Tarpeny, Parpoley,

308
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: Starling has been very good off the back of those guys.

309
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: So I think there's two parts defensively that both teams

310
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: need to nail.

311
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: If one doesn't, your position wins.

312
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: Got a lot of blakes like similar.

313
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Ethan's strange, you know, like it's funny with Ethan because

314
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: I saw when you look at look at him like

315
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: he appears small in stature, but when you actually see him,

316
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: he's a big body, very very stronger that sweet left foot.

317
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: At left side of him. And Hudson young.

318
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: Jeez, Hudson's playing good for you.

319
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: And Crichton is the best center in the game, best

320
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: defensive center, and they're going to you said, if a

321
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: team jumps up to win a competition, they need to

322
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: have a point of difference with their attack or something

323
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: different that catches teams out. If you're going to beat

324
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: Stephen Crichton, Hudson Young is probably the key to that

325
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: because he as this risky, flairy play that could just

326
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: be that point of difference that they need.

327
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: Just from Crichton.

328
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: I was talking to Brandy, Yes so watching the game

329
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: and Crichton had the ball set and mate, he's got

330
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: that sweet left foot. Darryl Halligan said to Brandy, of

331
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: all the blokes he's coaching at the moment, Crichton is

332
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: by far the best goalkicker, which is saying something you.

333
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: Darryl's coach some of the very best or is, including

334
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary, and he said Crichton's number one, and I

335
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: see his taker Burt's coming back, but I believe that

336
00:15:50,840 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: clit will hang on to the goalkick. Broncos, we spoke

337
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: about cheese her heart sorted to get it wrong.

338
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: I thought your commentary was brilliant too. By the way,

339
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: Top Shelf.

340
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: I agree. Broncos were.

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Such a strange game to watch because at the start

342
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: of the game they were just so much energy they

343
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: poured into their defense. They were all over the Panthers,

344
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: and then something just something just changed. See what was

345
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: unusual about the Broncos. They fatigued really quickly. Coops they

346
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: when we put that down to coops, I don't know,

347
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: but okay, they coughed up a lot of ball. They

348
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: made a lot of errors. But I thought almost halfway

349
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: through the first half, looks some of these blokes, some

350
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: of the forwards are starting to struggle. Here the last

351
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the game, like some of those forwards

352
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: so were out on their feet that the Panters could

353
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: just basically do whatever they wanted.

354
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: I mean we saw defensively some poor decisions, like when

355
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: Nathan Clear is playing straight and Tony Staggs was just

356
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 4: caught out position. He was moving to his left inside

357
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: and that's where the space was being created. There is

358
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: this talk I think Gazra Man is back or available?

359
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: Does he play?

360
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: He hasn't played.

361
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: This is his first Campaig, He's played no Coueensland Capital.

362
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: I think he's got to earn his spot.

363
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: I agree to.

364
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: I think there's there's a lot of talk around Ezra

365
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: where he comes straight back in or whatever.

366
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: But with players wanting back, players just said publicly, players

367
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: wunning back.

368
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: But I expect Madge'll make him earnest I.

369
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: Think there's to earn the right to get back in

370
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: this team. I'd be keeping Ben Hunt there. And if

371
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: he goes back and spends four weeks in the host

372
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: plast Cup and he delivers like in a real I

373
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: don't mean he needs a chip and chase the score tries,

374
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: but he needs to do the kick chase line and

375
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: be aggressive defense and all those other things that don't

376
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: get picked up. Then he comes through as a fourteen.

377
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

378
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: I think he will when he comes into the squad.

379
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: He'll give Madge a lot of mid game flexibility. You

380
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: put him at fourteen, suddenly you can put him on it,

381
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: put him on at six, put a Hunt to nine,

382
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: mix around.

383
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: I think you might get a reaction out of Ben

384
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: Hunt as well if he sees the EZRA there, like

385
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 4: his level of performance will go through the roof as

386
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: well too.

387
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: If you go in and have a look at the game,

388
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: because you commentated the game before, I'll be interested to

389
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: know what you think and we talk about next week.

390
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Bronco has really struggled in the attacking twenty really struggled,

391
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: and I know sometimes it could be a hard place

392
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: to attack because the defense is on top of you.

393
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: I almost my thought on it, and I'm interested yours

394
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: for next week. I thought they tried to do too much.

395
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I thought so. I thought that they haven't a little

396
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: shot here, they haven't shot there.

397
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: They're pushing the ball there there. You know, they just

398
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: didn't build for anything.

399
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: And when you're attacking the line, I don't care what

400
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 4: your players, but when you're coming up against twelve defensive

401
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 4: plus the all back in the line, which is thirteen,

402
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: you need to be very effective with your middle forwards

403
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: in and around the play the ball because, like Nathan

404
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: plain Square, if your forwards aren't doing something to the

405
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: first four defenders off the ruck, don't even bother passing

406
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: the ball out to your center.

407
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Well that makes sense because even generally they're attacked, particularly

408
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: in the second half Coeps, I thought it just looked

409
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: if it was a word, I'd say sloppy. Like as

410
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: we know, we've spoken about this numerous times, you know,

411
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: is that to make a play work to draw the

412
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: defense in, as you said, playmaker's got to get to

413
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: that target defender. You've got to start to pull them

414
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: out of shape a little bit.

415
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: And everything was just a little sideways.

416
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 4: To give an example, like halves and centers race off

417
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: the triy line on the outside and what you need

418
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: to if you just finesse the ball out, they're just

419
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: going to make a decision to shut it down. What

420
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: you need to do is be effective here because then

421
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: they start coming back infield because I feel like those

422
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: defenders have been condensed in and that's how you attack

423
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: inside the towny.

424
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: The Melbourne Storm coup look a bet a month ago

425
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: people were saying, you know, there was a bit of

426
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: a school of thought, well it's going to be the

427
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: Storm's competition, that would just rampaging. But in absence we

428
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: get we're seeing how critical Harry Grant is vital to

429
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: that fast.

430
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: Middle field football they like to play.

431
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: Like the last three weeks, three weeks without Harry there,

432
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: they've dropped considerably.

433
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: I think there's two parts to it. I think.

434
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: Defenders or defensive team coming up against Melbourne Harry, they

435
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: just go eyes to Munster and Hughes, so they don't

436
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: have too much of a concern around the middle of

437
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: the rock. They'll make their tackles, but as soon as

438
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 4: that pass goes out, it's like push to put pressure

439
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: on Monster and Hughes with Garlic or someone else whoever

440
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: comes in there. They're just doing their job. They're passing

441
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: the ball, making their tackles, which you probably want from

442
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: that position. But when that defense takes their eye off

443
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: on Munster and Hughes, the one person takes advantage of

444
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: that is Harry Grant.

445
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: You watch what they'll do.

446
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: They'll pass, pass, pass, go wide, and then they'll be

447
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: Harry Grant with Pabnausen back through the middle of some stuff.

448
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 4: So there's real opportunity to go sort of play with

449
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 4: with then straighten it up, play with wid and straighten up.

450
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 4: But when Harry Grant is not there, there's not that

451
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 4: ability to straighten.

452
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: Is their most important player?

453
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: I know they've got Monster, They've got they've got Jerome,

454
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: who's so dangerou to the paps at the back.

455
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: Is he there most?

456
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: You can make an argument that all of them are

457
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: equally important because the skills they bring. But at the

458
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: moment there's just a little bit of the big absence

459
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: of Harry Grant.

460
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 2: But at times Monster's fallen out.

461
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: You missed the opportunity of that ad lib fort of

462
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: player the right foot back inside with Jerome, who's the

463
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: best running half back in our game. So look right

464
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: now you probably say, yes, Harry Grant because.

465
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: Of how obvious it is.

466
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: Mate, Tigers were lucky. Galvin returned two from two. Luo

467
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: come out after the game after and they're forming a

468
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: really good combination there. He said, you don't need to

469
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: be great mates to win.

470
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 3: So it's interesting haven't played in the halves we ever

471
00:21:59,520 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: played with?

472
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: Well, I's going to ask you the same thing about

473
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: Cameron Smith.

474
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: But you walk into that one.

475
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: I knew, yes, I knew I was there.

476
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: I knew it was coming there.

477
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: He's still one with your brother May We.

478
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Went to beer on the weekend. Fantastic. I've got how

479
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: miserable time. I'll tell you what when you're going to Joe,

480
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: He's not a twenty twenty game.

481
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 4: But to lew Ey's point, like Benji's in this position

482
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 4: where he's coming off three wooden spoons, there are signs

483
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: of improvement with the Tigers right. So to Lewi's point,

484
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 4: they have to play together because if you don't, you're

485
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 4: going to lose a few more games than you probably

486
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: would win. And the whole idea for the Tigers and

487
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 4: Benji's improvement, So I don't mind that Lewis said that

488
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: they need to gel and they need to perform well,

489
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 4: they need to find a way to work together. But

490
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 4: ultimately it's all about performance and if you play well,

491
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: no one's gonna ask questions. But if you lose games

492
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: and there's frustrations when it comes into play, I guarantee

493
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: you there'll be questions being.

494
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: Playing well to role made too. It might be planning

495
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: himself into an origin Jersey just a couple of months

496
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: to finish with. Yeah, would I put him in the squad?

497
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I just I'd add there was a bit of talk

498
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: against people saying, you know, attitude and everything.

499
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: I think since he's.

500
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: Been at the Tigers and from what I learned in

501
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: the offseason heading to the Tigers, his attitude was second

502
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: and Hane mate running marathons obviously marathons and stuff like that.

503
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: Phil Bola has been very good for them too, that

504
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: ye'd like, He like Tyrell is doing a lot of

505
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: good stuff. But I think I think I think he

506
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: probably we would have to go through, but he probably Yeah,

507
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: maybe in the squad, might miss out, but Phil has

508
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 4: been very good as well.

509
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: Very good on the Sharks.

510
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I thought Will Kennedy was really good importantly for the Sharks.

511
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Nico Hines, there's about four try assists on the weekend.

512
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: He's starting to get that directness back. He's getting to

513
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: that target defender and they look.

514
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 4: He was a little bit like Nathan. He was way

515
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: more north south than east west. He had some nice

516
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: touches And I really like what Craig Fitzgibben said about Nico.

517
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: He stood up for his half back.

518
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 4: You know, yes he gets attention good and bad at

519
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: some stages. But I think for Nico Heines development, Craig

520
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: Fitzgibben is absolutely the right coach for him. Like I

521
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: think he knows what hard work looks like. He stood

522
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 4: up for him. He'll support Nicko when needed to. So

523
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 4: I was helping out with nick I would say, go

524
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 4: back and watch some of your good touches on the weekend.

525
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: Start feeling that thought of like, okay, when I did

526
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: something well, I actually went movement was first forward, not sideways,

527
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: I mean the past. To Kevin mckinnis, I think it

528
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: was where he had two runners close to the line.

529
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 4: Normally Nico Heines would probably fall into that one under

530
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 4: one under drift across. His first movement was forward. He

531
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: had to play someone out the back. But because he

532
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: went forward, the created in the first sort of two

533
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: defenders outside his vision.

534
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: Just finally, I want to give a rap to a

535
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: young bloke as he's sess my boy from my own town,

536
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp Fletcher's is a special player. He's showing that

537
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: this year. Even the previous couple of weeks where Newcastle

538
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: tack has been poor, he's had a spark about him.

539
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: Really really, the one concern I do have going forward Fletcher,

540
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: I think he signed an extension for a year or two.

541
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: The only one that worries me is the position that

542
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: the Knights may have put themselves in as far as

543
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: vulnerable to someone pinching him with a Dylan Brown contract.

544
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 3: That makes sense, how come?

545
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Because there's no doubt if he's on the market right now,

546
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: with how crazy the harvest market has become made, someone

547
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: would come out of him seventy fifty.

548
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: He played really well, scored three tries. But what are

549
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: you like him so much? Half the weekend's performance for

550
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: another day?

551
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: The fact that there is the fact that it was

552
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: the Knights win. If he scored three tries, it was

553
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty to one.

554
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 4: How do you know that?

555
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 3: I don't know. Someone just told me. He says, Fine,

556
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: egg scoobs,
