WEBVTT - Magic Round In-depth analysis 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:04.960 As you, Coop, you enjoy magic ground, survived it, survived 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:05.720 it better than you. 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:06.240 You're right. 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.160 I'm good mate, Good Coop. I'll tell you my philosophy 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.000 in life. I don't want my last rights and. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.280 Ministered to me. And I'm sitting there thinking I should 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:15.440 have just had one more beer. 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.480 So how many times did you say that yourself? 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.920 Get plenty of count three times, sad day. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:24.360 I really enjoyed it. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.479 I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was I 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.880 thought some of the performances were bringing. Let's talk about 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.320 some of the individual performances they Coop metcalf Geezy playing 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:35.400 good football. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.720 For a guy afterwards at nine rounds and the inexperience. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.440 We're in the seven jersey. He's got the Warriors in 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.159 the part of his hand. And I'm not talking just 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.560 the team. He's got the up the Wars and everything 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.440 going with them. There's a lot of momentum. And as 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.360 a young half, when you're trying to put your fingerprints 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.880 on a football team, there's probably two ways you need 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:55.320 to do it. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.360 One is your defense. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.400 Like if you're going to tell Mitch I had to 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.120 run through a brick wall, you've got to put your 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.399 head in the spot to gain the respective him and 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.720 the other way is the communication about getting the team 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:07.280 around the field. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.080 And he's doing both of it. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.600 He's doing it incredibly well. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.280 And I've we have even spoken about his skill and 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.000 passing the running game. They're the things that are half 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:17.640 gains respect. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:18.039 For the rest of the team. 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.560 Well, that's the thing in that coop, like what he 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.120 is doing at the moment, people got to understand. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.200 You can't underestimate how difficult it is. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.880 Given the fact that as you said, he's organizing the side, 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.920 he's owning the side, he's running the side, but he's 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.480 not losing that individuality that made him such a good player. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.120 That is that's really hard to do. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.360 And following in Shawan Johnson's footsteps, so that's that's a 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.240 difficult thing to do. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.880 He, I believe, went to Andrew Webster in the off 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.520 season said I want to run this team. He said that, 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.120 and I heard about him and the wind fletching. HEINDI 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.280 they were sitting on the side London the commentary for 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.800 KO and they said he was so vocal on the field. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.840 But the great thing about which I really love about 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.680 the kid was after the game he went to them 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.440 and sat and they had a bit of fun to talk. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.720 But they said off camera he was just talking about football. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.880 They said he is a footing heard this kid. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.200 Really loves his whole life and that I think that's 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:10.919 really important. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.679 And I think when you see young half be able 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.040 to communicate that to the media and do interviews after 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.480 the game. He definitely does that in the film room, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.480 in the review, in the video he's able to tell 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.839 everyone and articulating it away. And the Warriors are back 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.240 some of those scenes after that game against the Cowboys. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.280 Down on the. 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.000 Crowd, singing, chanting, they travel everywhere, the Warriors. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:32.440 Fans just turn up. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.840 But there's something great about the Warriors when they're up 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.200 and about the fellows back from last year, but what 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.840 they did the year before. They almost might be on 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.280 the cast were playing top four footy for the rest 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:44.639 of this view. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:45.680 If they can keep up this. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.240 Momentum, Tedesca, I haven't seen him play much better than 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.000 at the moment. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.359 He wound a clock back to the point that now 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:55.960 people are talking about him to see if he can 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.359 take the jersey off Edwards. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.920 That's an amazing comeback. 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.280 It is to lose your jersey at that age and 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.520 then fight your way back. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.000 I think the one thing when Tedesco puts it together, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.239 he's probably got the best balance of all the fullbacks 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.120 of that hard work in the yardage part of the 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040 field and then the finesse at the other end. So 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.880 when you can have twenty runs have two hundred meters, 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.200 ten of those runs helping the kick return, the other 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.239 ten setting up tries, that's where the balance is. Like 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.560 you think about Turbo and Edwards when they put it together, 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:34.320 they've got that good balance and Tedesco pinball mentality, good skill. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.600 Yeah, he was brilliant. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.320 A big decision coming after Lorrie because Edwards was good 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:39.880 on the weekend. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.080 Yeah, look, I think Edward Edwards is the fullback and 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.040 Teddy's doing all the right things, but I think Edwards. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.440 Yes, we're going to talk about toe in a minute 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.000 as we move on Nathan Cleary, but I can see 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.360 Edwards has really missed tie that that's a really good 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.839 one two combination. Oftentimes you see I'll get there on Bryan, 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.040 I'll bring it back on a kick return, Edwards will 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.360 go play two, to go play three. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.320 Like they just dominate the arding sets. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.240 It's funny when origins around the corner, the gunplayers rise 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.680 a little bit in club level. Edwards went again, Nathan 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.680 went very well. Yeah, I think the origin selection around 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.719 the corner just makes good players stand up a little 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:23.159 bit clearer. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.520 With the other outstanding performance Nathan Cleary. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.000 His performance last week we spoke about him with his 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.360 cross plays one under two under and how it had 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:36.200 led he lost some thrust upfield to this week, Coop, 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.880 I've rarely seen him play so straight. There was a 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.720 marked change in his football and it works so well 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:47.400 like he he just kept peeling the Bronco short, particularly 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.800 on the left hand side of the field, made a big, 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:50.520 big difference to. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.560 See that over exaggeration as a half, it's the space 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.720 that Alamonti needs to score this one. Here, see how 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.960 he just dies back to the right. The space is 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.720 created on the left. So when we talk about playing 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.120 north south, the whole idea of that is the more 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:07.800 direct you can play in the middle of the field 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.960 is the centimeter or the meter that the outside players need. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.360 And I always sort of talk about if you think 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.880 you're playing square, you're actually not square enough. So over 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.400 exaggerate that squareness actually sets you on game day a 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:26.920 straight compass because he was obviously gun barrel straight and 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.120 down that left hand side. It was the difference between 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.120 score and tries and not. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.080 Made a big difference to his outside men, made a 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.719 big difference to his young players, particularly Blazed to Lungey. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.919 It just gave Blaze just a little bit more room 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.080 and it allowed them to simplify their football. Yes, so 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:49.240 there wasn't as many complex sequences that make sense. I've 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.039 thought that oftentimes, and I love the complexity of their football. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.280 It's just such it's great to watch the science of it. 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.799 But bringing a young guy into a team and wearing 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.560 the six and trying to find his way, he can 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.880 get lost in that and I've seen that. But on 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.920 the weekend they're able to simplify, and he was really good. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.760 The combinations coops are starting to form. 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.440 I don't think the simplicity of things is probably why 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.160 Craig Bellamy has been super successful over a long period 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.479 of time, because it doesn't matter if you're a three 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.719 hundred game or a new play. If you keep it simple, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.719 there's more understanding of how you want to play. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.360 And I think the Panthers did two things. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.400 Nathan played way more direct and they simplified their football 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.760 in terms of just keeping it to one or two 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.200 things to do well, as opposed to, oh, we really 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.760 got these six plays, let's do it. They were just 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.480 doing the same things but doing it better than the Broncos. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.240 And that was the difference between getting four points. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:44.400 And getting that. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.240 Simplifying the game plan is going to be really really 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.839 important during the origin period. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.000 They've got to keep winning. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.880 Now they do, and not having Nathan, not have Isaiah, 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.080 it's going to find it. You know, they can't play 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.960 that complex with the guys they're going to put in. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:02.480 So and I'll tell you what. Let's talk about what we. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.880 Think of them going forward now, because I imagine after 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.960 the weekend's performance a lot of opinions have changed, maybe 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.920 not completely, but you know, a lot everyone, a lot 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.720 of people putting the lines straight through them. And I 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.600 think they adjusted that, particularly when you see miss Kenny 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.880 to come back and the one they really liked, the 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.880 one they have really missed, and you could see it 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.560 early in the game was Brian Tyner. Yeahs, you know, 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.000 like just about the best yardage player in the game, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.080 and early in the game against the Broncos, they just 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.240 could get forward on play one and two, they couldn't 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.400 get traction at all. And that's like watching the first 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.200 fifteen twenty minutes yesterday really highlighted to me how much 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.040 they've been missing Brian Tyer. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.120 Yeah, this one here, Zayo hardly ever gets picked up 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.400 and put on his back. The thing I like about 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.040 what Brian toal does two sideways here, and this was 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.280 after the first twenty minutes of the game, but then 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.880 they went more direct. The thing I like about Brian 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.160 total is his ability to do it from the first 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.960 effort to his last effort in the game. It allows 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.640 isaiahoh and Moses Liota like an extra couple of meters 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.520 of time and the ability to get some more energy 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:20.120 and refuel in the tank. Because Brian tot is a 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.960 lock for twenty runs two hundred meters. If your front 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.200 rower has to have an extra couple of efforts, it 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.960 just chews up the petrotank quicker does that, yes, yeah, 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.480 and defensively it hurts them as well. So not only 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.360 will Edwards get the benefit of title, I think Isaiahah 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.800 and Moses Leota will definitely see improvement in their game too. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.959 The Raiders, I think Oricky won the competition with the 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.960 Roosters in two thousand and two. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.319 I think this year, I think it's just about. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.560 His finest coaching before up to this date. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.600 Yeah, I reckon. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.000 One thing I really like about what Ricky and the 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.720 Raiders are doing is they have this strong, experienced forward 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.559 pack that have been doing what let's be honest, they've 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:03.400 been doing those. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.320 Things for the last couple of years. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.080 Yeah, topenhap horse was gone to another level this year, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.040 but then these young outside backs have really taken their 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.400 game to another level. And I think the key to it, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.360 and I know he's leaving, but is Jamal Fogerty's kicking 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.720 game and decision making. He doesn't overplay his handover, but 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.199 he keeps that team on tracked, on track. It's it's 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.560 it's good half back play for an older guy who 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.200 probably doesn't have the speed in the footwork to break 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.240 open a line like a metcalf for a clear or 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.319 something like that. But he's doing a lot of the 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.560 work behind the scenes to keep that whole operation. 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:40.560 He binds everything together. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.400 It's a lot We've spoken about Adam Reynolds before he 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.200 arrived at the Broncos. The Broncos had all this talent, 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.520 but had no one to bind it all together. You see, 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.560 I did that, and you know, and fair played to him. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.880 And Ricky could have been a difficult week with distraction 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.439 with him signing elsewhere. We spoke to him after he 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.640 kicked that winning golden Golden Point and he was really chipper. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.959 Yeah, you know, and you know that's but the. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.240 Improvement and the development of the young players in this 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.000 side is tribute to Ricky ko Weeks. I've seen Kayo 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.319 play quite a bit when he was coming through the 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.560 grades of Manly and he couldn't quite find his stride there, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.120 couldn't quite get traction. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:24.160 But he is here. Maddie Nicholson. Nicholson is a special player. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.680 That try to send it to Golden Point in tough conditions, 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.440 bucketing down with rain, Nicholson runs a little sort of 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.600 outline on Cameron Munster and just has the ball in 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.440 two hands and pops it up to ko Weeks who 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.960 was anticipating it. He saw the space and pushed straight 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.000 through and for him to take on Pabenhausen one on one. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.160 I think that play, with the game on the line, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.640 sums up exactly where Ricky and the Raiders are at 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.040 if they can find the belief to play like that. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:00.960 For the next well fifteen weeks, I'll tell you what, as. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.920 You know, mate, wins like even last week that Dolphins 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.360 when the first half they are horrible, but the second 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.679 half they just came out and just blitzed and win 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.959 the second half thirty. And then to beat the Melbourne 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.559 Storm and that all that effort to beat the Dolphins 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.600 week before. There's oftentimes you can exhale, absolutely can make 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.640 a side like Melbourne, but Ricky had them. It just 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.040 shows like they're mentally tough this year. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:30.000 Do you think a couple of teams like Panthers and 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.480 three Tiger's five where they jump out of the pack 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.200 yep and catch five right toppy, do you think the 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.400 Raiders have something like that? 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.839 I would say a fortnight ago, I felt that this 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.000 young Raider's site, well, the Raiders side, we've got some 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.200 experienced plags, but I thought they're still twelve months away 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.360 from being a serious contender. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.680 I'm starting to change my mind. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.040 It's probably why they wanted Jamel Foe to hang around 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:55.600 for twelve months. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:55.880 Yeah. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.280 To be honest, yeah, they probably thought the same thing. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.760 But that they are doing all the right things. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.760 To being down the door of teams who finals, teams 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.800 who win comps out of nowhere, and you just said 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:12.600 to Panthers No. Three now going into three, A lot 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.880 of people had Panthers to get the wooden spoon. I 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.880 think the year before that, right toward the bottom might 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.400 have been mid second last, I forget, but no one 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.199 gave him a chance. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.360 Tigers in five very very similar as the fact they 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.080 came out of nowhere. Now, the thing that the Raiders 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.360 share in common with. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.840 Those sides, if they've got a crop of just jumblows 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.720 coming through that are on the up, they're a fast 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.840 team and they play with a unique style. That's what 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.320 they share with the Tigers and the Panthers. And you 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.079 have to have a unique style if you're going to 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.960 win a competition out of nowhere and surprise we' you've 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.640 got to have that unique style of football. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:54.400 And reference to Panthers, the makeup of that forward pack, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.360 Panthers outside backs that they had to win that comp 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.240 Craig gow was the key. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.319 Jamel Fogy. I think Ricky. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.600 Knows that he's got a good team then, but I 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.840 think it's probably come a couple of weeks forward and 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.599 he's gone, hold, then I might have a team that 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:12.760 could win this comp. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.920 It's funny and it coops like I saw Ricky after 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.480 the game and the team and Ricky. Ricky was really 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.840 emotional after the game that important win. And there's one 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.800 school of thought that says, hey, come on, boys, let's 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.480 cooper lid on it. But there's the other school of 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.640 thoughts that say, mate, we're growing in belief. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.600 Let's just go with this. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.520 Well, big game this week, Raiders. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:36.400 Does Raiders Jogs one v two two in Canberra three pm. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:37.280 Mississ and key men. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.800 They have been as well like and they're losing Preston 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.160 for this week. They're missus and you can see that 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.680 like yesterday, their attack has been the best. But yesterday 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.720 I can so sit down on the tape and said, 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.720 you know, we played against the Titans side that were 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.160 below full strength and we can suited eighteen points. That 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.319 part of it were disappointing. I thought Crichton was incredible yesterday. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.319 He and Kraz the Raiders and Dogs are going to 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.960 put two parts to both teams in terms of where 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.960 this game is one and loss. I think the Raid 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.640 is with that sort of young and youthful edge defense. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.160 I'm talking timco and said Chris, they need to have 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.760 their best defensive performance because if they don't stop kick 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.000 out on the left and crying on the right, the 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.360 Dogs will win. Right on the flip side, I think 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.000 the Dog's defense through the middle needs to stop Tarpeny, Parpoley, 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.600 Starling has been very good off the back of those guys. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.600 So I think there's two parts defensively that both teams 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:35.200 need to nail. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.800 If one doesn't, your position wins. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.400 Got a lot of blakes like similar. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.600 Ethan's strange, you know, like it's funny with Ethan because 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.360 I saw when you look at look at him like 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.880 he appears small in stature, but when you actually see him, 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.600 he's a big body, very very stronger that sweet left foot. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.680 At left side of him. And Hudson young. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.400 Jeez, Hudson's playing good for you. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.800 And Crichton is the best center in the game, best 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.440 defensive center, and they're going to you said, if a 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.640 team jumps up to win a competition, they need to 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.080 have a point of difference with their attack or something 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.680 different that catches teams out. If you're going to beat 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.400 Stephen Crichton, Hudson Young is probably the key to that 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.680 because he as this risky, flairy play that could just 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.760 be that point of difference that they need. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:26.520 Just from Crichton. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.960 I was talking to Brandy, Yes so watching the game 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.160 and Crichton had the ball set and mate, he's got 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.920 that sweet left foot. Darryl Halligan said to Brandy, of 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.600 all the blokes he's coaching at the moment, Crichton is 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.560 by far the best goalkicker, which is saying something you. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.440 Darryl's coach some of the very best or is, including 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.200 Nathan Cleary, and he said Crichton's number one, and I 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.320 see his taker Burt's coming back, but I believe that 0:15:50.840 --> 0:16:02.120 clit will hang on to the goalkick. Broncos, we spoke 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.400 about cheese her heart sorted to get it wrong. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.440 I thought your commentary was brilliant too. By the way, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:08.520 Top Shelf. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.280 I agree. Broncos were. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.760 Such a strange game to watch because at the start 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.280 of the game they were just so much energy they 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.560 poured into their defense. They were all over the Panthers, 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.520 and then something just something just changed. See what was 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:31.200 unusual about the Broncos. They fatigued really quickly. Coops they 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.240 when we put that down to coops, I don't know, 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.400 but okay, they coughed up a lot of ball. They 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.360 made a lot of errors. But I thought almost halfway 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.960 through the first half, looks some of these blokes, some 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.080 of the forwards are starting to struggle. Here the last 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.760 twenty minutes of the game, like some of those forwards 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.000 so were out on their feet that the Panters could 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:52.440 just basically do whatever they wanted. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.040 I mean we saw defensively some poor decisions, like when 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.880 Nathan Clear is playing straight and Tony Staggs was just 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.360 caught out position. He was moving to his left inside 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.439 and that's where the space was being created. There is 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.840 this talk I think Gazra Man is back or available? 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.680 Does he play? 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:17.000 He hasn't played. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.320 This is his first Campaig, He's played no Coueensland Capital. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:21.480 I think he's got to earn his spot. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.040 I agree to. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.960 I think there's there's a lot of talk around Ezra 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.520 where he comes straight back in or whatever. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.879 But with players wanting back, players just said publicly, players 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:29.359 wunning back. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.760 But I expect Madge'll make him earnest I. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.960 Think there's to earn the right to get back in 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.200 this team. I'd be keeping Ben Hunt there. And if 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.000 he goes back and spends four weeks in the host 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.119 plast Cup and he delivers like in a real I 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.240 don't mean he needs a chip and chase the score tries, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.080 but he needs to do the kick chase line and 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.280 be aggressive defense and all those other things that don't 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.160 get picked up. Then he comes through as a fourteen. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:57.200 I agree with you. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.960 I think he will when he comes into the squad. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.480 He'll give Madge a lot of mid game flexibility. You 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.800 put him at fourteen, suddenly you can put him on it, 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.080 put him on at six, put a Hunt to nine, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:09.480 mix around. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.880 I think you might get a reaction out of Ben 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.800 Hunt as well if he sees the EZRA there, like 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.320 his level of performance will go through the roof as 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:17.760 well too. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:19.840 If you go in and have a look at the game, 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.800 because you commentated the game before, I'll be interested to 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.600 know what you think and we talk about next week. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.560 Bronco has really struggled in the attacking twenty really struggled, 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.399 and I know sometimes it could be a hard place 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.159 to attack because the defense is on top of you. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.000 I almost my thought on it, and I'm interested yours 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.920 for next week. I thought they tried to do too much. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.920 I thought so. I thought that they haven't a little 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:46.080 shot here, they haven't shot there. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.119 They're pushing the ball there there. You know, they just 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.040 didn't build for anything. 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.520 And when you're attacking the line, I don't care what 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.400 your players, but when you're coming up against twelve defensive 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.440
