12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,840

14
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,160

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure, Actually no, I couldn't answer that.

19
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: Did they did? I mean, were they stoked about it?

20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Definitely.

21
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: I think they'll work pretty well together. They both see

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: the game differently, but you know, pretty experienced now as well,

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: so I think they'll compliment each other.

24
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: And that role with.

25
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Artie Jason is Damien McKenzie your first choice, first five?

26
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 2: Not sure yet?

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: What's going to make your mind up?

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: Well, we have a look at him train and the

29
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: boys come in this week and like all the boys

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: that have been announced, there's thirty two players there and

31
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 3: there's no starting team picked until the test week.

32
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: So I only saw Damien mackenzie and Bowden Barrett in

33
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: for that position. Is there is Stephen Parafetta an option

34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: to pull in as well?

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: Yep, he can cover that Stevie.

36
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then what about the three locks? So the

37
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: boys in the newsroom in the sports department was saying

38
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: to me, they think that's weird that you've named three

39
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: locks and one of them has got an injury.

40
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: Well, Sam Barry's coming in for cover, so he'll be

41
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: with us for a couple of weeks.

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Okay, why did you leave out Hoskins to Tutu, Well, we.

43
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: Just thought Wallace the td is work create both sides

44
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: of the ball as phenomenal and he put his hand up.

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: Could not pick him the performance that he had in

46
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: the semi final. He put on a bit of a

47
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: master class and for a young man, we'll see a

48
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: huge future in him.

49
00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Head.

50
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: Good conversations with hos during the air and with the

51
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: Blues coaching staff and a couple of areas that we're

52
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: that we're looking at, And yeah, we just believe Wallace

53
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: has earned his opportunity.

54
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: And also he can cover a couple of positions.

55
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Of the five guys, he's obviously one of the one

56
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: of the five uncapped players that you've pulled in of

57
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: the five of them, is he the most exciting?

58
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, I think that'd be a little b unfair to

59
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: say he's the most exciting. I think that, you know,

60
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: it's a good balance of you know, all the Lucy's

61
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: have got their own real point of difference, to be.

62
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Fair, who got to call these players?

63
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: Did?

64
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Did Razer have to do all of them? Or did

65
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: you guys split it up?

66
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: They heard it live like the rest of the country

67
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: like the old days. Yeah, other than Pasilio and TJ

68
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: and Jordie who were obviously here along with Scott, So

69
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: we just changed it up a little bit. And yeah,

70
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: I guess it is a little bit like the old days.

71
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: Bring a little bit of a tradition back, which was nice, right.

72
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: So Pasilio is one of the ones also who you've

73
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: brought an uncapped Who got to call him and tell

74
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: him that he's made the squat.

75
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120
