1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Better than the Lego, better than Lego, Magic Grand Coops.

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: How good?

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 3: It was fantastic. You're right, I'm good mate. Now excuse

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: me if I'm a little bit vague in I saw,

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: I saw plenty.

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: What was the best part? Was good answer? The only

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: in formnutes and foot you saw.

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: So Trish went up, she went up, your wife. She

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: went up there to curb my enthusiasm and she failed miserably,

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: but it was good fun. We had the Family podcast

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 3: live on the Saturday. Then we went across the road

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: to Fletching behind his eighties party one hundred and fifty

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: Red Dagans.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: So you've got this.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: Jackson Street, let's say lunchtime Thursday, and you're left there

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 4: just before your show on Sunday.

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: Something like that, something like that, you know, the good

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: thing about like great thing about magic around Coops, not

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: one drama, well not drunk, you know, everyone.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: For you or you mean in general.

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: General generally generally, it's just like everyone is so buoyed.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: It was. It was fantastic.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: It's good and it's great to see that Brisbane got

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: it for another couple of years because it's grown and grown,

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: and the fact that it's like the epicenter of the

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: rugby league world for a couple of days. Brisbane knocked

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: it out of the ballpark. The players delivered to the

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: games were great.

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: Because a lot of people are saying there's a lot

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: of stars missing, what are the games going to be like?

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: And talking about stars mission like the moment for me

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: of the whole round, like the Warriors were under pressure but.

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: D to a pick. Oh, like, did you see that?

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: Did you manage to catch? I saw that.

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: I thought it was terrific because the kids played only

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: a few games of first grade and the Warriors under

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: immense pressure against the three time premiers and this kid

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: just comes out the back of shape scores a try.

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: Not only does he score it first and I'll try,

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: he has to take the ball back with a few

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: minutes on the clock and nail that kick. So hell

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: of a performance because you saw them after the victory

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: like it was just that they needed it.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: There they certainly. I'm the guy that David Armstrong for

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: Newcastle has been a revelation. It's been incredible. Yeah, he

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: did his ACL a couple of years ago and he's

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: sort of come out of nowhere. I was watching the

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: New South Wales Cup one day he took the ball

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: and shot off and I thought, you've got to be

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: something this kid. But the way he's elevated himself, come

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: into first grade and he's just getting better with every performance.

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: He's got a good temperament too, Like you see when

53
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: he gets interviewed after the game, he's not over the top.

54
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: He's pretty humble and.

55
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: When he scores a try, he just turns and he

56
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: just walks back there. He's just booked poker face.

57
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: And you said they're on the upward trajectory last week

58
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: and the fact that it's Kalen's at star right, but

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: it's almost like, let's say Kaln's ten out of ten.

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: It's almost like every other player's picked up one point

61
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: in their game to cover the loss because they're doing

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: all the little basic things that you need to and

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: if they can hold on to that, yes and bring

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: him back, they strong star in the team somewhere else.

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: But it could be a blessing disguis really player with

66
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: their own.

67
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: Nico heines for me, they beat Melbourne last week, had

68
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: roosters on the weekend and there was talk around easy

69
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: in the Origin team Easy Night and he absolutely delivered

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 4: a last class performance. If anyone had some reservations where

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: he's in the origent team, not after this.

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: He's got the Jewsey.

73
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: I think the one thing that lit it up for

74
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: me is if you go to Magic Around, you're playing

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: the roosters and you're own a little bit of pressures

76
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: a halfback, you're probably going to be conservative to get

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: in the game. His first touch, ranted on the fifth play,

78
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: got the ball back and sign they scored.

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: In the first Yeah, it was a turn.

80
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: I was really impressed young Ethan Strange. I was really

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: impressed with him. I was oppressed by the Raiders. We've

82
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: said it many times. The Raiders know who they are.

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: They're a tough, gritty side, and I just thought, yeah,

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: without Jamal Foggery, Ethan Stranger is really and he's really

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: picked up. I love about it. One thing is I

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: really look when he came into first grade, see that

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: neat left foot and he had really good acceleration. But

88
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: now you see how he's using his spoon and acceleration

89
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: to enhance his ballplayer like put Hudson through very very clever.

90
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 4: Slow fast, get to the defense quickly and put HUDs

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: and three and good defense too. A couple of good

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: tackles have got all that, yes as well, and one

93
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 4: of the performances of the weekend because the ninety four

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: Raiders were in the house celebrating and two sinnbins around halftime.

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: They're under pressure. Ricky signed an extension during the week

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: the emotion of everything came through and they would have

97
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: added one hell of a party on the.

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: Talk about the ninety four Raiders in a second tab

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: your why feeder watching him how he runs it is

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: just I reckon Like you look at him. I'd love

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: to see him like a two hundred met or four

102
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: hundred meter like if he had dedicated himself to athletics,

103
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: and you look at it, just the way he moves

104
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: like it looks like a gold medalist.

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think anyone who lights it up is look

106
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: like they're doing it in second gear, right. And he

107
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: was good and timely too because a couple of the

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: tries that he scored were crucial in the Tiger's game.

109
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: And the other thing too is some injuries and he

110
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: had to come back in case your origin and things

111
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: like that.

112
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: So tray Fuller just a little bit of a.

113
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: Just a little bit back and get the job done.

114
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: You ninety four Raiders were great to see the ninety

115
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 3: four Raiders there we run through their Grand final team.

116
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: It's pretty good. Talk to me Brett Mullins, fullback wingers

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: Kenen Aegus and Noan, Andrew Ker, Sanatas, Reuben Wicki and

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: malman Inger. They could really beat you.

119
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: I would have got out of the right of the mate.

120
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: He had lur Daily, Ricky Stewart in the halfs. Up front,

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: you had Quentin Pongier rest in peace, Steve Walters. Interesting,

122
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: Paul Osborne, I'll go back to that. What Jason Tutsi, Croker,

123
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: Dave Ferner, Bradley Clyde. What was the interesting about that

124
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: side was that Johnny Lomax was upfront for all the

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: season but he got suspended for the Grand Final. Really

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: cruel bloke Johnny and they and they put Ozzie in there,

127
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: Paul Osbourne and it was just people looked and said,

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: you know, it's a surprise selection by Tim Sheens where

129
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: he set up the first two tries in the twenty

130
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: minutes and then got subbed off. So certainly did his job.

131
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: The ninety four Raiders. And we said this from the

132
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: podcast We're far and away the best side I ever

133
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: played against. Coops.

134
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: One of the best in history, right.

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: One of the best.

136
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: You know.

137
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: I would actually I'd love to see in your twenty seventeen.

138
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: So I'd take them ninety four Raiders. I thought I.

139
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: Would have got to the road of Wicked Mountain. They

140
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: would have just strolled straight through for hat trick each.

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: I'd tear what they were good at, Coops. They were

142
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: excellent on both sides of the game. Now when you

143
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: played against them, they just burned out of gas with

144
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: how well they used the football. They played a lot

145
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: of sidelines to sideline Ricky's with just knock it out

146
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: to Laurie Daily. I tell what he needs to do sometimes, Ricky,

147
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: because you've got Meninger and Wiki out there. So you go, mate,

148
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: We've got to get off the line quick. And so

149
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: Ricky would shape long like he was going to go

150
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: to Lorry and you're spread up, and he turned further

151
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: underneath all of a sudden, Yeah, you go on back

152
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: twenty five meters a little bit. The Coops when they

153
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: turned the ball over to you, mate, they just beat

154
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: the hell out of you. They were not just to

155
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: bring it attacking side, But how tough they were defensively

156
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: has been underestimated.

157
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: And I give Ricky a rap here because sometimes too

158
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: much emotion can be over the top and your players

159
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: sort of lose the impact. But try and tell Ricky

160
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: Stewart that he didn't get it right on the weekend.

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: His team had two sinbins around halftime, his team's down,

162
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: the Bulldogs called multiple tries in that period. Isn't it halftime?

163
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: He's got the ninety four Raiders in the back of

164
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: his mind. He was a part of it, and it

165
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: was a gritty, tough performance. Hudson Young comes up with

166
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: Eastern strange, couple of big plays and they put it

167
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: all together and they had the big celebration the next day.

168
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: It was one hell of a weekend if you're a

169
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: Raiders fan, because they.

170
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: Just keep doing it. Like you said, the DNA of

171
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: the Raiders this year. They won't beat themselves. They're going

172
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: to make it really hard for you to win. And

173
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: if their backs against the war they actually go better. Yeah,

174
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: I mean, that is a hell of a quality to have.

175
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: They might not have strike across all the park or whatever,

176
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: but I'll tell you what, you take that most.

177
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: Week not the big week It was a big weekend

178
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: for the Wires too. Had to win that is. I

179
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: think it's probably the bravest win in Warriors' history, and

180
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: it's one of the bravest wins that I've seen for

181
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: a long long time. What's interesting, Coops Nashaw and Johnson

182
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: lost a lot of stars before the game started, but

183
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: then lost Wade Egan And when you're sitting here going well,

184
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: they're certainly under the pump here.

185
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: So basically a whole new spine to a picky wading

186
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 4: when out off, Roach went in there and they went

187
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: with Martin and kluk Star as the hards parent and

188
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 4: I thought tomorrow Martin was absolutely brilliant because some of

189
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: the players that he came up with were first class.

190
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: As a ball play, here's the first try they set up.

191
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: Watched this play short to Barnet, that's into Jack Cole.

192
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: The rookie half goes back to the center of the field,

193
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 4: and watch what he does. Here, goes back to the

194
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: rookie half, pretends to play to by Barnett.

195
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: Out the back, and that's their first try.

196
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: That is ball playing one o one attacking the weakness

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: because he just goes back there multiple times, forces a

198
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: kid to get his head in a bad spot, resets

199
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: and the kid now thinks, oh, we have to tackle

200
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 4: Barnett again and goes in, drags him on and just

201
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: plays out the back and he hesitates that a half

202
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: a second.

203
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: It's an unorthodox pass.

204
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he throws this one here just as good too.

205
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: Just get into the line and put him up. So

206
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: Isaao is off the field here. They've got a little

207
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: bit of luck, but if they're going to score points

208
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: against the Panthers, you've got to get on top of

209
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: them while they're down to twelve men. And he comes

210
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: up with two tri cysts in this period of time,

211
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: the first one here and then this one over the.

212
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Other side of the field. Gets in and just gets.

213
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: Eyes straight to Martin and puts Pompey straight through. So

214
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: he's he stood up when Johnson was out, he stood up.

215
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 4: And this was the match winter here see.

216
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: That double partly Yeah, Yeah.

217
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: Tyron Peachey comes in slightly. The double pump delayser and

218
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: it gives to a Picky a chance to kick the

219
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: goal as well.

220
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, three tri cysts.

221
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: The first player was brewined and this is a guy

222
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: that wasn't playing at a high level for the month

223
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: prior to.

224
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: This, had been struggling.

225
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: Sewan's gone and he basically just did what Sean's been doing,

226
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: but better than he had been for a period of time.

227
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: And you said before about Callum Pine, how that's benefit

228
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: not having Calen not playing pong and ball as suited

229
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: the Knights and made him strength in other areas.

230
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: Same with Johnson. Clok Star was good in the sixth too, mate.

231
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: I love what Clark Star did. He run, run, run

232
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: all the time and coops, it's funny having that change

233
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: change the spine. Losing so many stars we said before

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: at Camber, and you know what sort of side they were.

235
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: It forced the Warriors to play a more simple game.

236
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: We spoke last week. In my opinion, the Warriors had

237
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: lost their way in the fact that they last year

238
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: in the winning games. They're starting the game quite conservative

239
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: and they're building in well. It was similar.

240
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: Well, the first half they had an avalanche of good

241
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: ball and that only tried to Montour was the only

242
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 4: try they scored.

243
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: But they didn't look like they were cracking enough.

244
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: And in the second half they got lucky with Ozao,

245
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 4: but they come up with points when they had to.

246
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: It was a hell of a victory because the emotion

247
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: on every one of their faces afterwards, it was almost

248
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 4: like a finals match.

249
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: It was really good. Well, in a lot of ways,

250
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: it sort of was. Coops had to arrest that slide

251
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: really really quickly. Sharks prove their serious contender. We said before,

252
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: they've very jigged aspects of their attack Fitsie so that

253
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: can the better chance of winning big games. At the

254
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: back end of the season, thought they were terrific going forward.

255
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Now Coops, I think that they've got some big games

256
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: the next few weeks. It's going to be a really

257
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: big test. Now I'll tell you why is they've had

258
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: a lot of criticism of like people said, they've had

259
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: a soft draw and sides lived with criticism, right, And

260
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: apparently they spoke about that within the inner circle in

261
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: the dressing room, right, and no one's given us a chance. Everyone,

262
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, we're winning games, but they're saying we're still

263
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: not playing a right soyle of football. That criticism sharpens

264
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: the sword, you know, and that's very much you know,

265
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: you see that in the last few before worrmances. But

266
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: now we're going to see how they handle the praise

267
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: and very often praise weekends resolve and.

268
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: Players should get a huge rap for what they're doing.

269
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: But I think Fitzgibbon is obviously doing a tremendous job too,

270
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 4: because a couple of weeks back said something about the

271
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: soft draw and he actually came out and said, look,

272
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: we are not Penrith Melbourne or the Roosters. We haven't

273
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 4: done this over a long period time, but we're striving

274
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: to get there. And he's got that criticism for the

275
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: players's bubbling along that sincepiring, but he's also put a

276
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: reality check and say, hey, listen, if we want to

277
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: win this trophy, we're going to have to keep doing

278
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: this against the good teams. It's easy to do against

279
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: the team's below usk because that's what we have to do,

280
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: but this is the style of play that we play

281
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 4: and it holds up in big games. So every win

282
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: or every good performance against those big teams just adds

283
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: another layer of confidence, another layer of belief, and they

284
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 4: are doing everything they have.

285
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: To and coops, it's a really well balanced site given

286
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: the fact a nice big pack of forwards that are

287
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: playing a really good power game that make the back

288
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: five the yardage game, you know, through their backs all ta.

289
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: Jesse Rayman's footwork for that try that he set up

290
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 4: was brilliant. I really liked that. Talkys the beast off

291
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 4: the bench as well, like impacted, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's

292
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: skilling defenders and crank quick play the balls there.

293
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: So there, that's a good win. I mean, the Roosters

294
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: had been playing and.

295
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: They went back.

296
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: The Roosters like weren't poor in their performance. They were

297
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: up for it too, and they fought back after the

298
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: poor start and both starts to the halves and it.

299
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: Was a good game of footage, terrific just for all.

300
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: The games were tight, hard from really Melbourne's I mean Melbourne,

301
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: what a tear ceps. They are looking good. They're really

302
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: looking good and particularly well firstly, make the monster he

303
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: had the monster injury. She said. It was awful to watch.

304
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: If you look at the monster injury, it looks horrendous,

305
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: like he ripped something off the bone or whatever. But

306
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: I've had a similar injury that what he's going through,

307
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 4: and it was really weird to see that because it's

308
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 4: not really a cute pain. It's literally just a numbing

309
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: pain that gets worse and comes sometimes gets better and

310
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: he's going to have to deal with this for the

311
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: rest of the season.

312
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: He needs to be on the field for Melbourne.

313
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: They've been saying, well, it's been a problem all season,

314
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: and I heard that he's been playing games, getting on

315
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: the field, but then not training the first couple of

316
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: days of the week.

317
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: I've had exactly injury after a game because of all

318
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: the running and all the hits and knocks. You literally

319
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: struggle to walk for two or three days, and then

320
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 4: by the end of it you start to come good.

321
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: But then you're back in that vicious cycle again.

322
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of the recovery and rehab work

323
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: that goes into monthster plane every week.

324
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: And when we talk about like we said about Crinulla

325
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: being well balanced, Melbourne very well balanced, and they're played

326
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: their football was varied for a while, they're playing a

327
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: bit of sideline to sideline, then they start drilling the

328
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: middle of the field.

329
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: I will say this, Niko hines and was brilliant, Tomato

330
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: Martin was good, but Harry Grant's performance So no Papenhausen,

331
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: no Hughes. Months to goes off and I know the

332
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: paramatter of paramatter, right, but his ability to just go okay,

333
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: it's a little bit on me here and I'm going

334
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: to have an impact craft out of dumby half speed

335
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: his try like he probably shouldn't have got there, but

336
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: his tenacity and.

337
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: His will to compete got him there. He was good.

338
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: He was up there as one of the players of

339
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: the round.

340
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: And we had him on the show after it and

341
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: he's right up on his toes at the moment and

342
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: he was saying about the captaincy, how much he enjoys

343
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: the captaincy. It's been a great decision, great Bellamy and

344
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: the other Blake t He's playing good Tyren Wishart because

345
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: he knows his game, and a lot of young playmakers

346
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: or young footballers it takes some while to really understand

347
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: their game. And I just thought the last couple of performances,

348
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: you see a kid who finally understands his strengths and

349
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: how to play it on him because there's no you know,

350
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: no subtle passes. He's just bull at the gate. Run

351
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: the football.

352
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter what position you play. Always bring your strengths

353
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: to the fall like stick. If you're a runner, run

354
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 4: the book. If you've got a good pass or kick

355
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: do those things. But the other thing that underpins it

356
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: is a bit like Harry Grant's example, But he just

357
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: competes like he's in every frame that the Stormer in.

358
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: There's every frame, if there's a line break from the opposition,

359
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: he's just there.

360
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: And that's a good mentality to have.

361
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: A para matter. Okay, there's no ga, there's noses, but

362
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: that's not good enough. Another weekend, a Brad Arthur after

363
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: the game, he said, second half was just embarrassing. And

364
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: now you know, like Brad finds his self under immense pressure.

365
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really hard to see what happens here from Paramatta.

366
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: And the worst thing for me is that this has

367
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: been trending for let's say, the best part of twelve months,

368
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: eighty months. They got to that Grand Final and haven't

369
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: recovered truly. He's been there for a long time. He's

370
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: had his finger p all over that team, and that

371
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: power game that they were known for has fallen away

372
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: big time. RCG and Barlow aren't contributing a lot.

373
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: So again it's yeah, I think it's waiting to sign

374
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: that contract.

375
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: Yep.

376
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's happening there.

377
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But.

378
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 4: They just like get like the forty minutes was that

379
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: the space in the defensive line, it was exactly like

380
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: the Dolphins.

381
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 5: It was exactly like it was like dramatically, this is

382
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 5: too hard and there was no monster from the second half,

383
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 5: like you know, they operak without muster and they're just

384
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 5: completely carving them up.

385
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 4: And free coach that Brad Arthur to me, isn't a

386
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 4: coach that sits back and says you boys, you take

387
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 4: care of it like he's a drill sergeant. Feels like

388
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 4: he's into into any and he's not getting a response

389
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: from them at all.

390
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: We said, Nico's a lock new south Wale outside him all,

391
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: well with him in the halves. Well, there's no guarantee

392
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: Moses going to play next week. I'm not sure about that.

393
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 3: And Jerome Lewi, Jerome almost become the forgotten man. I

394
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 3: thought he was outstanding. Jerome Lewi in a beaten.

395
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: Let's say, if Moses plays this weekend, is he in or.

396
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 3: It's not like the thing with Mitch. It's not like

397
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: having a broken hand where you can do all your

398
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 3: running and everything like that, you can do your kicking.

399
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: Is the very fact that's been a broken foot and

400
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: it hasn't been able to run. It makes it It

401
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: makes it really difficult.

402
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: I will say this about Jerome Leui.

403
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: The most interesting person out of his performance on the

404
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 4: weekend for me would have been Benji Marshall. Oh yeah,

405
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: Jerome's got this whole sort of penis system where he

406
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: stays on the left hand side. Nathan does everything and

407
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: he just waits for the ball and calls it whatever.

408
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: But sometimes you've got to play the game to the

409
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: strengths the way the game is trending, and then you're

410
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: half back compliments that. But the way that he plays,

411
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: like I'm thinking Benji Marshall's going, well, hold on a minute.

412
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: He dominated both sides of the ball. He kicked on

413
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: the left and he was first receiver, second receiver, he

414
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: was floating around. Maybe he has a very big impact

415
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: in the way of the Tiger's attack next year because

416
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: he looked comfortable and he scored that try and he

417
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: was aggressive, like you could see what it meant to him,

418
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 4: like he went, Okay, my main man's out, I'm actually

419
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: going to stand up here. And Cole was there but

420
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: didn't really have an impact on the game, but he

421
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 4: was very good. I think he's one of Jerome Lewi's

422
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: best performances, even in like they lost.

423
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: But I think he did a really good job. You're

424
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: picking him.

425
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: I think he is there with Heines. But I think

426
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: right now, if I'm Michael maguire, Moses' performance, if he

427
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: plays this weekend, determines it for me. If he comes

428
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 4: back and he has as poor Nick goes my half

429
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: back and louis in, but if he comes out and

430
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: blitzes it, I'm thinking that it's Hines and my.

431
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: Just the last one. On Jerome watching his football this year,

432
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: I thought himself, he's lost a little bit upfilled thrust.

433
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: Now I don't mean he's a lot speed and it's

434
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: like that, and he's still got his footwork, but getting

435
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: the ball step step step where on the weekend stepping

436
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: excellent step forward?

437
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

438
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 4: He was good on that try the line break. But

439
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: he had variation too, like some of that sideway stuff.

440
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: He did drop off one, drop off two and he

441
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: almost got through in the corner with a double drop

442
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: off and go.

443
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: So he had he had good mix in his game.

444
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: And yeah, what his kicking game was solid for a

445
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 4: guy that doesn't do a lot of kicking.

446
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: Went a week.

447
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 3: He was excellent. Interesting one of the Queensland six. Now

448
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: Monster's out. You know the two leaders? You got Tom did?

449
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: And who was? He's played there before? He look Coop,

450
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: I'm thinking it'd be a miracle friend to play.

451
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: He does carry on a little bit like he rolled

452
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 4: around as if he was shut.

453
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: I've got the producer Scott in the air. They're saying

454
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: he's out for eight weeks? Is he eight to ten weeks?

455
00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: Wow?

456
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 4: No surgery, No surgery, just got stressed it up breaking.

457
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 4: He's here on the podcast.

458
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: You love it?

459
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 3: You heard it here?

Speaker 2: All right? Who played six? Tell me? You tell me who?

461
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: For?

Speaker 2: Who?

463
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: You think Tom didn't? So I had a discussion with

464
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: my with my favorite son the other day and I said,

465
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: if I was picking aside to save my life.

466
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: Can we put a name to the favorite side?

467
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: No, I can't if I if I'm picking sort of

468
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: playing my life, I picked did because he turns up

469
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: all the time. Even though the Cowboys have been struggling,

470
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 3: he performs every week. He cares. He just made his effort.

471
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: And of course you got Ezra there, who's proven himself

472
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: in the big stage. Hat trick in a grand final.

473
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: But what do you think.

474
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm with Diddon.

475
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 4: I think Man has done a tremendous job even when

476
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: Reynolds is gone. He looks like he can run that

477
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 4: team by himself, and he's never shirked his responsibility when

478
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 4: he's on the big stage. But when you're talking about

479
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: character and you're talking about origin, the fact that Munster

480
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: was ruled out a day or two before that decider

481
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: and dead and comes in and played a terrific game,

482
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: that shows me he's got a good temperament.

483
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: The other moments that show me.

484
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: That he's ready for it is the chase on Selwyn

485
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 4: Cobbo right now that he didn't have to do, but

486
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 4: he wants to do it. There's a desire inside that

487
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 4: little fella that he just wants to be.

488
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: There when the moment happens. And the try that he

489
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: scored on the weekend. The Cowboys haven't been playing great.

490
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: He's a rookie captain and he's been their best player

491
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: all year, and the try that he scored was crucial.

492
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 4: It was a try that got them in front end

493
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 4: up being the difference. But again, he didn't have a

494
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: lot of reasons to score that. He's small, there was

495
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 4: more defenders around the ball trying to stop him, and

496
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: his toughness, his tenacity, his determination will was enough that

497
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: he GMed that ball down.

498
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: So I would be saying that did and is the

499
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: man I.

500
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: See he was weekend and he's been terrific. That Adam

501
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: Reynolds is job Madden really impressive Broncos thirty and twelve, tough,

502
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: gritty game. I reckogonize it's exactly what the Broncos needed.

503
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: Every week that Adam Reynolds is out, Madden's sheer price

504
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: goes up. I think the fact that they're working around

505
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: what does it look like? Madden is a very good replacement.

506
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what I really liked about him

507
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: is that when the game is in the balance there

508
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: at twelve twelve they got the penalty, a lot of

509
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 4: halves will overcook it and try and score and make

510
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 4: it look fancy.

511
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: He literally just went one to three less side of

512
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: the post, Give me the ball and I'll kick it.

513
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes in those moments, particularly less than around five minutes ago,

514
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: the more passes, the more chaos that comes into play,

515
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 4: the more chances for error, and how many times do

516
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: we see that where.

517
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: It doesn't get there, someone knocks it on or whatever.

518
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: Simplicity when the game is on the line is the

519
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: best way of executing it.

520
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: So it's an open competition.

521
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Penrith dropped a couple of injuries to big players.

522
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 4: The Sharks are there, their consistent storm have this reel up,

523
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 4: but they've got some question marks around some of their

524
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: Interis it.

525
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: Is open this week?

526
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: HODI? You like both coming to the comp nineteen sixty seven.

527
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 4: I was a little disappointed in Penrith because they got

528
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: to I think it was sixteen or at some stage there,

529
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: and the way that Isaiah scored. I thought, okay that

530
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: the grinding nature which Penrith play out is going to

531
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: make the Warriors tap at some stage here. But they

532
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: fought back a lot of errors in the Panthers game

533
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 4: for the first time. A little bit complacent. Well, I

534
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 4: don't know what it is, but I like the Sharks.

535
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: I do.

536
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 4: I cannot turn away from what the Sharks are doing.

537
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: They are just doing all the right things.

538
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: As are you, Coop?

539
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: How are you mate?

540
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 3: You? It's time mister Matt has a bit of a sleep.

541
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: We might have to change the name of this podcast

542
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: after when you've Done podcast.

543
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: Let me tell you that will never.

544
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what sho
