1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Elliott Smith Sports Store, Coast Hello Elliott, Hello, did you

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: have afhone at ten?

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: I think I had my first phone when I was

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: at intermediate, so it would have been about eleven or twelve.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: That's very close to WHITEH.

6
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: According to Camp, Yeah, it was definitely intermediate.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: So but look, hey, you've turned out okay, so here

8
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, it all's well. That ends well now

9
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: the Warriors, so I don't look okay, before we get

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: to me and my predictions, what happened?

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: They didn't play very well? Yeah, but why well, they

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: didn't defend, they switched off in that last fifteen minutes

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: of the first spell, didn't get the momentum back in

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: the game.

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Can we blame Luke Metcalf?

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if we can blame Luke Metcalf.

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: They went away from what they've done well. The basics.

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Done well was what the Warriors had done really well

19
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: over the first couple of weeks, two or three weeks.

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: They played well, exposed teams up the metal, and also

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: defended really really well. And none of that happened on

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Friday night.

23
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Why what?

24
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Because this is the Warrior is this is what they do.

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: What I said on Friday because I don't know anything

26
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: about sports, So I mean, you may as well just

27
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: pull the bum off the street and get them to

28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: give you a comment. They're probably no more than me.

29
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: But I said on Friday, this always happens to the

30
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Warriors when they bring their stars back, because it disrupts

31
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: the thing that has been working right.

32
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's maybe easy to stay in hindsight, but

33
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: Luke Metcalfe was solid out there, but he wasn't great

34
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: and he looked.

35
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: No he threw the ball at No. One.

36
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: Well, he looked like a player that hadn't played in

37
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: nine months and quite and you know, the Warriors have

38
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: got all sorts of opportunity in New South Wales Cup

39
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: that they could have put back.

40
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: Would you have would you have looked at the team

41
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: that was playing and said, these guys are playing, well,

42
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: we're not going to change it. We're going to bench Luke.

43
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: I think they wanted him back for this week's game

44
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: against Cronella up to full speed and then Melbourne after that,

45
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: which I think is a pretty big one two punch

46
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: in the context of the season.

47
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: So you sacrificed the Tigers.

48
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Well, not sacrifice, but I think they thought he was

49
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: going to be up to speed, perhaps more than he was.

50
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: And look, it's all very well go around at training

51
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: and looking like you're playing, you know, and looking at a

52
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: million bucks at tray, but it's another reality actually going

53
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: out there and playing. And he did look should have

54
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: a gallop.

55
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: So this leaves them with a conundrum. Then do you

56
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: go back to what was working pre last Friday's game? Well,

57
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: I think, or do you take a punt with this guy?

58
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: I think they're have to stick with Metcalf. Now I

59
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: think they're gonna have to stick with seven. Yeah, and

60
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: back at that it is going to be better, you know,

61
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: over the next week, having a bit more time to

62
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: get together. But I don't think you can put it

63
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: solely on Luke Metcalf. The Warriors were pretty poor across

64
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: the board. There's no one really that he go. They

65
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: played and held their head high.

66
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: What about Charles nicol klock stud Yeah.

67
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: He was right senty moved in position. He's scored a

68
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: couple of tries, so maybe he can hold his head Okay.

69
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: So there's one. Thank god, hey, Liam lim Lawson, quite.

70
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: He could hold his hit high. Ninth second week in

71
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: a role second race in a row that he's managed

72
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: to get points out of that very impressive driver. I

73
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: thought he I think he got what five overtakes in

74
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: the course of the race, which is more than any

75
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: other driver in the course of that race. And you

76
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: look at it now and go Max with staff and

77
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: wants to high he's had enough of the cars. Have

78
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: you seen that he's over it? Yeah?

79
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: But is he just packing a tan He does to

80
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: me like a man toddler. Yes, so he might. He

81
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: might just be saying that he wants to retire, but

82
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: then he'll get some sort of case. Absolutely unretired.

83
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not happy with the hybrid engines. But but

84
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: kim me into Allie Teenager leading the Formula One standings remarkable,

85
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: Liam Wilson's doing well.

86
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Suggesting that the Stepan retires and Lawson takes over.

87
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Look, let's maybe we will listen to happening.

88
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,520
