1
00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,547
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fine

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:12,827
Speaker 1: from Newstalks edb to.

3
00:00:12,987 --> 00:00:15,627
Speaker 2: Twenty six We've got our final four and the NRL.

4
00:00:15,707 --> 00:00:19,107
Speaker 2: The Roosters are through to a preliminary final against the Storm,

5
00:00:19,147 --> 00:00:22,627
Speaker 2: knocking Manly out with a forty sixteen winning Sydney last night.

6
00:00:22,707 --> 00:00:26,667
Speaker 3: Here he kicks out why Dominique young Joseph Mardu flying

7
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:29,947
Speaker 3: and he serves it up on a silver platter for

8
00:00:29,987 --> 00:00:35,587
Speaker 3: the big Englishman dominic Ya after back to the aerial skill.

9
00:00:35,867 --> 00:00:38,187
Speaker 2: Of Joseph Mardhu. There that was the final try for

10
00:00:38,227 --> 00:00:41,667
Speaker 2: the Roosters forty points to sixteen. Former Warriors and Penrith

11
00:00:41,707 --> 00:00:45,467
Speaker 2: halfback and now highly respected rugby league analyst Greg Alexander

12
00:00:45,507 --> 00:00:47,307
Speaker 2: was in the commentary box last night. He joins us

13
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:50,827
Speaker 2: now forty sixteen. Feels very comfortable on the scoreboard. Greg,

14
00:00:50,827 --> 00:00:52,107
Speaker 2: do you think it was a fair reflection?

15
00:00:53,747 --> 00:00:58,467
Speaker 4: It probably was, Jason, Yes, good to chat twenty twenty

16
00:00:58,467 --> 00:01:01,227
Speaker 4: to four at halftime, Manly grabbing that try right on

17
00:01:01,267 --> 00:01:05,507
Speaker 4: the stroke of the break where Sherry Evans chip kicked

18
00:01:05,507 --> 00:01:09,547
Speaker 4: at for haml Ola Kauatu and they needed something. Rubin

19
00:01:09,587 --> 00:01:13,147
Speaker 4: Garrick had a bludger of a night missing tackles, missed

20
00:01:13,187 --> 00:01:16,707
Speaker 4: that kick. They trailed twenty to four at half time. Hindsight,

21
00:01:17,147 --> 00:01:20,147
Speaker 4: you know, and you never because there's the ability of

22
00:01:20,227 --> 00:01:22,827
Speaker 4: sides to score points so quickly these days, and we've

23
00:01:22,867 --> 00:01:25,227
Speaker 4: seen games this year where you know, there was only

24
00:01:25,227 --> 00:01:27,067
Speaker 4: a matter of minutes left, but teams.

25
00:01:27,067 --> 00:01:31,147
Speaker 5: Have the ability to score points in a bunch. You

26
00:01:31,227 --> 00:01:32,227
Speaker 5: never write a team off.

27
00:01:32,267 --> 00:01:34,627
Speaker 4: But boy, if I was going to write a team off,

28
00:01:34,827 --> 00:01:37,107
Speaker 4: I would have been writing Manly off at halftime. Just

29
00:01:37,387 --> 00:01:39,747
Speaker 4: had to score first coming into the second half.

30
00:01:39,787 --> 00:01:40,267
Speaker 5: They didn't.

31
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:42,867
Speaker 4: The Roosters scored off the back of an error that

32
00:01:42,947 --> 00:01:48,307
Speaker 4: Manly made or a challenge that was unsuccessful, and that

33
00:01:48,467 --> 00:01:50,987
Speaker 4: was it. Once the Rooster scored the first try on

34
00:01:51,187 --> 00:01:53,187
Speaker 4: the second half, I thought it was all over. So

35
00:01:53,707 --> 00:01:56,907
Speaker 4: the score Jason did reflect. I thought the dominance of

36
00:01:57,147 --> 00:01:58,187
Speaker 4: the Roosters.

37
00:01:58,427 --> 00:02:00,587
Speaker 2: Quite astonishing start to the game, Greg, I don't think

38
00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:02,667
Speaker 2: I've ever seen it. Two head knocks from the first

39
00:02:02,747 --> 00:02:05,427
Speaker 2: two plays of the game saw two of the Seagulls

40
00:02:05,467 --> 00:02:09,267
Speaker 2: starters forced off. How much of effect was that in hindsight.

41
00:02:09,547 --> 00:02:12,667
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was, even though they did recover

42
00:02:12,707 --> 00:02:17,987
Speaker 4: and they defended pretty courageously for the You know following

43
00:02:18,107 --> 00:02:21,587
Speaker 4: ten minutes, but the automatically the Roosters were on the

44
00:02:21,587 --> 00:02:26,187
Speaker 4: front foot. Kohler off for the game, just went in.

45
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:29,947
Speaker 4: And we've seen it happening kickoffs this year or not

46
00:02:30,427 --> 00:02:32,027
Speaker 4: for a while now, but there seemed to be a

47
00:02:32,067 --> 00:02:36,347
Speaker 4: spate of head knocks off kickoffs. And I remember Anzac

48
00:02:36,427 --> 00:02:39,547
Speaker 4: Day where Moses Souley against the Roosters was knocked out

49
00:02:39,547 --> 00:02:42,747
Speaker 4: in the first play exactly the same manner coming out

50
00:02:42,747 --> 00:02:44,867
Speaker 4: of the line try to make a tackle was gone.

51
00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:47,707
Speaker 4: And then the Dragons never recovered from that. And even

52
00:02:47,747 --> 00:02:51,547
Speaker 4: though Ben Troboyevitch is a good replacement for you know,

53
00:02:51,707 --> 00:02:54,547
Speaker 4: he's not Tallu Kohler, and I think that really rocked

54
00:02:54,587 --> 00:02:57,627
Speaker 4: them to lose Jake. He came back on but to

55
00:02:58,627 --> 00:03:01,587
Speaker 4: start the game, and I remember Warren Smith calling with him.

56
00:03:01,587 --> 00:03:04,587
Speaker 4: He said, twenty we are only twenty three seconds into

57
00:03:04,627 --> 00:03:09,747
Speaker 4: the game and manly he lost two players. So tough,

58
00:03:09,827 --> 00:03:11,547
Speaker 4: tough way to start the night, that's for sure.

59
00:03:11,987 --> 00:03:14,667
Speaker 2: Indeed, James to Disco for the Roosters celebrating is two

60
00:03:14,747 --> 00:03:17,547
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth NRL game. Couple of tries he set

61
00:03:17,587 --> 00:03:20,027
Speaker 2: up to more ran four, a game high one hundred

62
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:23,707
Speaker 2: and eighty three meters. How integral is James to Disco

63
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:25,827
Speaker 2: to the Roosters.

64
00:03:25,707 --> 00:03:27,427
Speaker 5: Vital absolutely vital.

65
00:03:27,947 --> 00:03:30,107
Speaker 4: You know you when you look at their matchup next

66
00:03:30,187 --> 00:03:35,107
Speaker 4: week against the Melbourne Storm, I've got you know, I've

67
00:03:35,107 --> 00:03:40,667
Speaker 4: got a rabid rooster's mate that texts me this morning

68
00:03:40,707 --> 00:03:44,787
Speaker 4: and said, now now we'll get beaten. You know, it's

69
00:03:44,827 --> 00:03:47,147
Speaker 4: great to win last night, but now we're playing the Storm,

70
00:03:47,187 --> 00:03:49,427
Speaker 4: we get beaten. I said, well, you know, I said,

71
00:03:49,467 --> 00:03:52,507
Speaker 4: don't don't, don't throw. There is a glimmer of hope

72
00:03:53,067 --> 00:03:56,227
Speaker 4: and James todsco is that glimmer because when you have

73
00:03:56,227 --> 00:03:59,307
Speaker 4: a look at the key players, that the ones that

74
00:03:59,387 --> 00:04:00,507
Speaker 4: handle the ball the most.

75
00:04:00,947 --> 00:04:02,987
Speaker 5: When you compare, I said, play for player. You might

76
00:04:03,027 --> 00:04:03,347
Speaker 5: have the.

77
00:04:03,307 --> 00:04:06,227
Speaker 4: Melbourne Storm, but it's the sixth, seven and nine that

78
00:04:06,547 --> 00:04:10,027
Speaker 4: makes the difference to the to the you know, between

79
00:04:10,067 --> 00:04:13,787
Speaker 4: the two sides, the Roosters and Melbourne drug Us Camera

80
00:04:13,827 --> 00:04:17,907
Speaker 4: Monster Harry Grant just have you know Camera Monster has

81
00:04:17,947 --> 00:04:19,827
Speaker 4: been out a lot, but he's been back for now

82
00:04:19,907 --> 00:04:23,547
Speaker 4: six weeks and looks good to Desco is the difference

83
00:04:23,587 --> 00:04:26,467
Speaker 4: for the Roosters. You know, he's that one that stands out.

84
00:04:26,547 --> 00:04:30,267
Speaker 4: If Teddy plays well well, the Roosters are a chance.

85
00:04:30,347 --> 00:04:33,787
Speaker 4: A lot has got to happen around them. But James

86
00:04:33,987 --> 00:04:38,027
Speaker 4: has had a fantastic season. I went through a bit

87
00:04:38,067 --> 00:04:40,387
Speaker 4: of heartache last year, tough year last year for him,

88
00:04:41,187 --> 00:04:43,267
Speaker 4: and form probably dipped a little bit. But boy, he's

89
00:04:43,307 --> 00:04:46,187
Speaker 4: been setting the standard for a long time to Desko

90
00:04:46,267 --> 00:04:48,547
Speaker 4: and he's he's back at that this year, which is

91
00:04:48,627 --> 00:04:51,267
Speaker 4: which is great to see and he'll extend his time

92
00:04:51,307 --> 00:04:53,987
Speaker 4: at the Roosters and you know, but he's had a

93
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:56,947
Speaker 4: marvelous season and that was confirmed last night. He was

94
00:04:56,987 --> 00:04:57,627
Speaker 4: their best player.

95
00:04:58,067 --> 00:05:00,027
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand your mate trepidation though. I think

96
00:05:00,027 --> 00:05:02,027
Speaker 2: they've lost ten of their last eleven against the Storms,

97
00:05:02,027 --> 00:05:04,187
Speaker 2: so he's probably been through a bit of pain and

98
00:05:05,307 --> 00:05:08,707
Speaker 2: may well continue on Friday night. The other game over

99
00:05:08,747 --> 00:05:12,107
Speaker 2: the weekend, Sharks twenty six, Cowboys eighteen twenty four dol

100
00:05:12,107 --> 00:05:15,187
Speaker 2: at halftime. This was the Nico Hines braidon Trendle show

101
00:05:15,267 --> 00:05:17,147
Speaker 2: and many respects. How on price were you with them

102
00:05:17,427 --> 00:05:18,507
Speaker 2: and the Sharks in general?

103
00:05:19,147 --> 00:05:21,627
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look, I think you know the Sharks came

104
00:05:21,707 --> 00:05:23,907
Speaker 4: under fire through the week and they had to answer

105
00:05:23,947 --> 00:05:26,107
Speaker 4: a lot of questions and I don't think I've heard

106
00:05:26,747 --> 00:05:30,907
Speaker 4: more commentary around a single player on how he should

107
00:05:30,987 --> 00:05:33,827
Speaker 4: play the game. And that's Nico off the back of

108
00:05:35,427 --> 00:05:37,987
Speaker 4: you know, comments made I made them. I said, look,

109
00:05:38,107 --> 00:05:40,987
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think if I was picking the side,

110
00:05:40,987 --> 00:05:42,827
Speaker 4: don't know, the Sharks won't do it. You know, I'd

111
00:05:42,867 --> 00:05:47,547
Speaker 4: probably go with Dan Atkinson instead of Nicko. I just

112
00:05:47,587 --> 00:05:50,707
Speaker 4: think I thought he was struggling a bit, but I

113
00:05:51,107 --> 00:05:54,947
Speaker 4: Braiden Trendle was and Nico played his role. But Braiden

114
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:58,227
Speaker 4: Trendle was a nine out of ten at half and

115
00:05:58,267 --> 00:06:00,827
Speaker 4: he played the half back role, he played the seventh role,

116
00:06:00,907 --> 00:06:04,467
Speaker 4: he kicked, He did it all. Braiden Trendle scored try,

117
00:06:04,547 --> 00:06:08,227
Speaker 4: set up tries, was very good for them, and the

118
00:06:08,267 --> 00:06:11,747
Speaker 4: Sharks were good, and you know that was I thought

119
00:06:11,747 --> 00:06:14,107
Speaker 4: that game more than the other game was in the balance.

120
00:06:15,427 --> 00:06:20,707
Speaker 4: The Cowboys great attacking side, but very execution on Friday

121
00:06:20,787 --> 00:06:24,507
Speaker 4: Night was poor from the Cowboys and twenty four Neil

122
00:06:24,667 --> 00:06:27,347
Speaker 4: the game was done. There was you know, a sniff

123
00:06:27,347 --> 00:06:29,947
Speaker 4: from the Cowboys in the second half where they scored

124
00:06:29,947 --> 00:06:33,787
Speaker 4: a couple of quick tries. But Shark's way too good

125
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:36,947
Speaker 4: and pretty impressive, and I thought they're forwards, you know,

126
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:39,827
Speaker 4: Trendle and Hines don't get to do what they do

127
00:06:39,987 --> 00:06:43,307
Speaker 4: if the forwards don't do their part. And I thought

128
00:06:43,307 --> 00:06:45,947
Speaker 4: the Cronulla forwards, who have been a bit hit and

129
00:06:45,987 --> 00:06:48,587
Speaker 4: miss over the last six weeks, some weeks have been

130
00:06:48,627 --> 00:06:52,387
Speaker 4: good and really stood up and laid a platform. On

131
00:06:52,467 --> 00:06:55,027
Speaker 4: other occasions they've been beaten well in the middle. So

132
00:06:55,907 --> 00:06:58,467
Speaker 4: forwards were good and on the back of that Trendle

133
00:06:58,507 --> 00:07:02,747
Speaker 4: and Hines complimented the you know, the platform that was

134
00:07:02,827 --> 00:07:06,707
Speaker 4: laid and took advantage of it. So, you know, top

135
00:07:06,747 --> 00:07:09,107
Speaker 4: four sides now in the last two games.

136
00:07:09,827 --> 00:07:13,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so the sharks reward is a preliminary final

137
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:17,787
Speaker 2: against the Panthers. Can you see them pushing Penrith?

138
00:07:19,627 --> 00:07:21,747
Speaker 5: Yeah. Anything can happen in a big game, you know.

139
00:07:21,827 --> 00:07:24,227
Speaker 4: And I think the fact that the Sharks now have

140
00:07:24,347 --> 00:07:26,467
Speaker 4: that monkey off their back, and that was a lot

141
00:07:26,507 --> 00:07:29,227
Speaker 4: that was spoken, you know, not just about Nicko, but

142
00:07:29,267 --> 00:07:32,107
Speaker 4: about Cronulla in general and about their finals form and

143
00:07:32,107 --> 00:07:34,627
Speaker 4: the fact that they just since twenty eighteen just haven't

144
00:07:34,627 --> 00:07:37,547
Speaker 4: been able to win a final that was hanging around

145
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:40,147
Speaker 4: their neck coming into that game against.

146
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,107
Speaker 5: The Sharks on Friday night.

147
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:43,347
Speaker 4: The fact that they've been able to get it done

148
00:07:43,507 --> 00:07:47,987
Speaker 4: and so emphatically with a very good performance, you know,

149
00:07:48,347 --> 00:07:51,547
Speaker 4: opening forty minutes to lead twenty four nil. They've got

150
00:07:51,587 --> 00:07:55,187
Speaker 4: to feel confident. Although they haven't had much joy against

151
00:07:55,187 --> 00:07:58,147
Speaker 4: the Panthers, they've got to feel confident about their own

152
00:07:58,187 --> 00:08:00,027
Speaker 4: form and that's all they need to worry about. Worry

153
00:08:00,067 --> 00:08:04,387
Speaker 4: about themselves and you know, the rest will take care

154
00:08:04,427 --> 00:08:08,987
Speaker 4: of itself. So of course there's hope. But Melbourne and

155
00:08:09,667 --> 00:08:14,347
Speaker 4: Penrith both deserve to be favorites coming into these two

156
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:15,387
Speaker 4: prelim finals.

157
00:08:15,947 --> 00:08:18,787
Speaker 2: And if we do get to a likely outcome of

158
00:08:18,827 --> 00:08:22,387
Speaker 2: a Grand final with Penrith up against Melbourne without knowing

159
00:08:22,387 --> 00:08:24,107
Speaker 2: whether there's going to be injuries of course next weekend

160
00:08:24,227 --> 00:08:26,947
Speaker 2: or anything like that, Greg, how do you separate these two?

161
00:08:27,027 --> 00:08:28,227
Speaker 2: Can you separate these two?

162
00:08:29,627 --> 00:08:30,427
Speaker 5: No? Very tight?

163
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:32,987
Speaker 4: And they only played each other a few weeks ago

164
00:08:33,307 --> 00:08:35,827
Speaker 4: at Penrith and that was the night that Nathan Cleary

165
00:08:36,427 --> 00:08:41,107
Speaker 4: did that shoulder. But Melbourne started well, they see, and

166
00:08:41,547 --> 00:08:44,027
Speaker 4: that wasn't the only time they played each other back

167
00:08:44,027 --> 00:08:47,187
Speaker 4: in round one and that scoreline was eight to nil,

168
00:08:47,467 --> 00:08:50,507
Speaker 4: so they are able to stop Penrith scoring that night.

169
00:08:51,707 --> 00:08:54,707
Speaker 4: And granted it is very early in the season, but

170
00:08:54,747 --> 00:08:59,347
Speaker 4: I think defensively they they can match up against Penrith's attack.

171
00:08:59,467 --> 00:09:02,627
Speaker 4: That's the key for Melbourne, the fact that they'll just

172
00:09:02,707 --> 00:09:05,787
Speaker 4: be able. They seem to be able to defend Penrith

173
00:09:05,987 --> 00:09:10,427
Speaker 4: very well. So they are that is the two best teams.

174
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:13,267
Speaker 4: The Storm won the Minor Premiership by six points, clearly

175
00:09:13,307 --> 00:09:15,587
Speaker 4: the best and most consistent team.

176
00:09:15,427 --> 00:09:18,547
Speaker 5: Throughout the year, and I would say Penrith.

177
00:09:19,827 --> 00:09:21,987
Speaker 4: Penrith were under a little bit of pressure coming into

178
00:09:22,027 --> 00:09:26,227
Speaker 4: that Rooster's final Week one out there at Penrith Park,

179
00:09:26,267 --> 00:09:30,827
Speaker 4: which it was called that night, because their form had

180
00:09:30,827 --> 00:09:34,627
Speaker 4: been scratchy. Nathan Cleary hadn't been on the field, Penrith's

181
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:36,827
Speaker 4: form had been a little bit scratchy. Couple of losses,

182
00:09:37,547 --> 00:09:39,507
Speaker 4: they went down to the Raiders, they got beaten by

183
00:09:39,507 --> 00:09:44,267
Speaker 4: the Melbourne Storm. That really was you know, they turned

184
00:09:44,307 --> 00:09:47,347
Speaker 4: back the clock to last year with that first half

185
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:51,787
Speaker 4: against the Roosters. Can they continue that, You'd have to

186
00:09:51,827 --> 00:09:55,027
Speaker 4: think they're a good chance of doing that. So trying

187
00:09:55,067 --> 00:09:57,027
Speaker 4: to predict what's going to happen against them in the

188
00:09:57,067 --> 00:09:59,067
Speaker 4: Melbourne Storm in the Grand Final was very hot. I

189
00:09:59,107 --> 00:10:03,227
Speaker 4: will say that the Storm probably they coasted through the

190
00:10:03,307 --> 00:10:05,067
Speaker 4: year and were still winning but not playing great, but

191
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:07,907
Speaker 4: still winning and you're going, well, boy, Melbourne is still winning.

192
00:10:07,947 --> 00:10:10,347
Speaker 4: They're not really playing well. Some of their even their

193
00:10:10,387 --> 00:10:12,787
Speaker 4: better players are out of form. One player that's held

194
00:10:12,827 --> 00:10:16,107
Speaker 4: his form all the year is Jerome Hughes. But I

195
00:10:16,147 --> 00:10:21,947
Speaker 4: think since Monster's return, they are probably the big improvers

196
00:10:21,947 --> 00:10:24,547
Speaker 4: over the last six weeks. I think the Storm have

197
00:10:24,627 --> 00:10:27,507
Speaker 4: looked better than they ever have, you know throughout the

198
00:10:27,587 --> 00:10:30,707
Speaker 4: year now that Monster's back in the lineup, and all

199
00:10:30,747 --> 00:10:33,867
Speaker 4: those bits and pieces around the key men Harry Grant

200
00:10:33,907 --> 00:10:37,227
Speaker 4: and Jerome Hughes, who had sort of held the fort

201
00:10:37,267 --> 00:10:39,107
Speaker 4: for most of the year, where Papenhaus has been in

202
00:10:39,147 --> 00:10:41,547
Speaker 4: and out and back and Monster's been in and out,

203
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:45,587
Speaker 4: are now back. But all those pieces around Hughes and

204
00:10:45,747 --> 00:10:51,947
Speaker 4: Grant look so much better. Jack Howorth, Will Warbrick, Ellie Katowa.

205
00:10:52,907 --> 00:10:55,907
Speaker 4: You know, the list goes on. The players, Trentley Aero.

206
00:10:56,067 --> 00:10:58,987
Speaker 4: The players that have looked great over the last six

207
00:10:59,027 --> 00:11:02,307
Speaker 4: weeks put Melbourne in a very good position. So I'm

208
00:11:02,307 --> 00:11:03,547
Speaker 4: not going to declare it, Jason.

209
00:11:03,987 --> 00:11:07,067
Speaker 5: I would. I'd love to say Penrith, but I won't

210
00:11:07,107 --> 00:11:10,867
Speaker 5: over you early Crow. I'll just keep it close to

Speaker 4: great to have him on the panel and get an
