00:00:24,093 --> 00:00:27,653
Speaker 3: This week on The Big League Podcast, Warriors halfback Luke

5
00:00:27,813 --> 00:00:30,773
Speaker 3: Metcalf reflects on the stunning come from behind victory over

6
00:00:30,773 --> 00:00:34,173
Speaker 3: the Wests Tigers in Sydney. Three wins in a row.

7
00:00:34,693 --> 00:00:37,893
Speaker 3: Alex powers and off the interchange for Michael Burgess as

8
00:00:37,933 --> 00:00:40,653
Speaker 3: we dissect where this team is a heading into the

9
00:00:40,693 --> 00:00:45,333
Speaker 3: by my name is Nathan Limb. Let's go good b LV.

10
00:00:46,373 --> 00:00:49,253
Speaker 3: For just the fifth time in history, the Warriors are

11
00:00:49,413 --> 00:00:54,573
Speaker 3: three and one to start the season. Grit, grit and composure,

12
00:00:54,613 --> 00:00:58,613
Speaker 3: the two qualities which for me typify an unlikely comeback

13
00:00:58,693 --> 00:01:01,573
Speaker 3: win over the Tigers in Western Sydney. They were down

14
00:01:01,653 --> 00:01:05,413
Speaker 3: and out, the Tigers six points up, bearing down on

15
00:01:05,453 --> 00:01:08,013
Speaker 3: the Warriors tri line, but with a little luck they

16
00:01:08,053 --> 00:01:12,093
Speaker 3: refer used to crack a breathtaking cameo from nineteen year

17
00:01:12,093 --> 00:01:16,573
Speaker 3: old Lequa Halaesima, evading three defenders for his maiden NRL try.

18
00:01:16,613 --> 00:01:19,213
Speaker 3: He should have run it under the posts, yes, but

19
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:22,293
Speaker 3: in a way that gave Luke Metcalf even more of

20
00:01:22,293 --> 00:01:25,893
Speaker 3: a platform to display his calmness, nailing the conversion on

21
00:01:26,013 --> 00:01:29,253
Speaker 3: the angle in difficult conditions to tie the game, and

22
00:01:29,293 --> 00:01:32,693
Speaker 3: then slotting the match winning penalty from forty meters out.

23
00:01:33,213 --> 00:01:36,213
Speaker 3: Alex Powell, You, Zeeland Herald ride up. What impressed you

24
00:01:36,293 --> 00:01:38,213
Speaker 3: most about this performance?

25
00:01:38,493 --> 00:01:40,893
Speaker 4: You've sort of hit the nail on the head right there.

26
00:01:40,933 --> 00:01:43,013
Speaker 4: It was the great it was the determination. That's two

27
00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:45,453
Speaker 4: ugly wins on the bounce for the Warriors. You know,

28
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:47,653
Speaker 4: they say the difference between a good team and a

29
00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:50,933
Speaker 4: great team as the ability to win ugly, and that's

30
00:01:50,973 --> 00:01:54,013
Speaker 4: what they've now done twice.

31
00:01:54,053 --> 00:01:56,573
Speaker 3: There are numerous players who stood out. We're going to

32
00:01:56,653 --> 00:01:59,093
Speaker 3: go through the game in detail later, but give me

33
00:01:59,133 --> 00:02:00,893
Speaker 3: one player that had your attention.

34
00:02:02,373 --> 00:02:04,813
Speaker 4: For different reasons. I really liked what Wade Egan did

35
00:02:04,893 --> 00:02:06,973
Speaker 4: last night. I think that it's so easy to have

36
00:02:06,973 --> 00:02:09,213
Speaker 4: a look Wade Egan because he's doing it for so long.

37
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,053
Speaker 4: But I think he might have actually gone to another

38
00:02:11,133 --> 00:02:12,173
Speaker 4: level to start this season.

39
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:14,853
Speaker 3: You yeah, I think so as well. Just the amount

40
00:02:14,853 --> 00:02:16,373
Speaker 3: of sp I mean, we talked about it last year

41
00:02:16,373 --> 00:02:18,533
Speaker 3: and he has been doing this for years, but the

42
00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:21,013
Speaker 3: amount of space he's able to create around the ruck

43
00:02:21,053 --> 00:02:22,693
Speaker 3: and We're going to hear from Luke Metcalf in a

44
00:02:22,693 --> 00:02:26,413
Speaker 3: bit as well about that. But his combination as well,

45
00:02:26,453 --> 00:02:29,733
Speaker 3: that the spine working between Chanell, Harris Dedvid and Luke Metcalff,

46
00:02:29,773 --> 00:02:32,453
Speaker 3: and the lead up to Luke Metcalf's trike was Egan, Chanell,

47
00:02:32,933 --> 00:02:35,973
Speaker 3: Luke Try and that comes from the space that he's

48
00:02:36,093 --> 00:02:39,813
Speaker 3: able to create and the Warriors are really utilizing that

49
00:02:40,013 --> 00:02:43,933
Speaker 3: and it's coming up trumps and what a victory. What

50
00:02:43,973 --> 00:02:46,653
Speaker 3: a victory that gets you hot, that should get you

51
00:02:46,893 --> 00:02:50,213
Speaker 3: very very excited as a Warriors fan. But we're going

52
00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:52,813
Speaker 3: to hear from as I said, Luke Metcalf shortly. But

53
00:02:52,853 --> 00:02:57,613
Speaker 3: first here are the highlights Warriors twenty six Tigers twenty four.

54
00:02:58,053 --> 00:02:59,133
Speaker 5: The Tiger's kickoff.

55
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:02,093
Speaker 6: Here we go comes out here to Pumpy stept away

56
00:03:02,133 --> 00:03:07,333
Speaker 6: from Ballet and Gavin Puller. He'll reach out and plan

57
00:03:07,493 --> 00:03:09,253
Speaker 6: it down side the fire.

58
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:11,093
Speaker 5: There's another set race done.

59
00:03:11,253 --> 00:03:12,573
Speaker 3: He crashes through.

60
00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:14,573
Speaker 5: He's Egan has a bit of.

61
00:03:14,493 --> 00:03:17,493
Speaker 6: Talk about here in a moment, including this Minifi and

62
00:03:17,613 --> 00:03:21,933
Speaker 6: the Runoleo tore try for the Warriors outside was stuff

63
00:03:21,973 --> 00:03:26,413
Speaker 6: with tower. He'll run away and score against the run

64
00:03:26,413 --> 00:03:30,533
Speaker 6: of plays of Caunter attack by the Tigers one on

65
00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:33,973
Speaker 6: que Egan makes a break his Harris de Vita and

66
00:03:34,133 --> 00:03:38,853
Speaker 6: then Metcalf the Tiger's defense shut the bits, blue wife

67
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:43,733
Speaker 6: for Galvin Brothers, A real chance for type. They converts it.

68
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:49,653
Speaker 6: Lovely kick comes to La too Faero, who sees a

69
00:03:49,813 --> 00:03:54,293
Speaker 6: quite now to a piggy down the edge. Calasiva is

70
00:03:54,293 --> 00:03:58,653
Speaker 6: the way showing speed coming across Buller is there, can't

71
00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:03,733
Speaker 6: get to him. Calasiva bats two. He kisses, points to

72
00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:08,213
Speaker 6: the sky and scores a reloveable try for the Warriors.

73
00:04:08,533 --> 00:04:09,413
Speaker 5: That's unbelievable.

74
00:04:09,413 --> 00:04:13,293
Speaker 6: What about that he hits the shoulders there, say fer

75
00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:14,933
Speaker 6: he was in a wrapping motion.

76
00:04:16,413 --> 00:04:17,733
Speaker 5: I reckon, I get the penalty here.

77
00:04:19,813 --> 00:04:23,693
Speaker 6: Strike is good, the distance is not an issue and

78
00:04:23,813 --> 00:04:27,373
Speaker 6: the flags go in the air at full time. The

79
00:04:27,413 --> 00:04:31,653
Speaker 6: Warriors twenty six have beaten the Tigers twenty four.

Speaker 3: Audio Curtesy of sky Sport Big League Podcast. Michael Burgess

81
00:04:37,733 --> 00:04:41,013
Speaker 3: is absent today but has hustled superbly to get a

82
00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:43,973
Speaker 3: quick chat to Luke Metcalf over the phone. Let's take

83
00:04:44,013 --> 00:04:44,413
Speaker 3: a listen.

84
00:04:44,973 --> 00:04:46,533
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on the meta as the hell

85
00:04:46,573 --> 00:04:47,173
Speaker 5: of a way to win?

86
00:04:48,213 --> 00:04:50,453
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, it was good to win like that.

87
00:04:50,653 --> 00:04:53,453
Speaker 7: Obviously replayed really good in parts and some parts we

88
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:55,453
Speaker 7: can get a lot better up, but it's always nice

89
00:04:55,493 --> 00:04:57,093
Speaker 7: to win at the end of the day.

90
00:04:57,693 --> 00:04:59,613
Speaker 8: What was going through your mind is you stepped up

91
00:05:00,013 --> 00:05:02,173
Speaker 8: to take their penalty at the end.

92
00:05:03,933 --> 00:05:06,053
Speaker 7: About I've done, I've done. Hey, you so much practice?

93
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:09,453
Speaker 7: Just yeah, just doing normals. Just go through my process

94
00:05:09,453 --> 00:05:12,133
Speaker 7: and then just try and nail it to put us ahead.

95
00:05:12,813 --> 00:05:15,733
Speaker 7: Nothing too crazy to go, I'll to our minders what

96
00:05:15,893 --> 00:05:16,893
Speaker 7: I do every kick.

97
00:05:17,013 --> 00:05:20,653
Speaker 8: Pretty much because you look really confident though, I mean

98
00:05:20,693 --> 00:05:23,213
Speaker 8: there was there was talk the commentators are thinking, oh,

99
00:05:23,253 --> 00:05:24,973
Speaker 8: the Warriors might go for the corner here, but you

100
00:05:25,053 --> 00:05:27,693
Speaker 8: looked really confident the had of that kick.

101
00:05:28,493 --> 00:05:31,453
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, I was confident. I knew that I

102
00:05:31,813 --> 00:05:33,373
Speaker 7: myself to be able to get out a little bit

103
00:05:33,373 --> 00:05:35,293
Speaker 7: we need, but I knew that I'd be fine.

104
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:38,813
Speaker 8: And as you say, really important was what does this

105
00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:40,733
Speaker 8: result mean for the team?

106
00:05:40,853 --> 00:05:43,213
Speaker 5: Three on the bounce and winning like this ahead of

107
00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:43,453
Speaker 5: the buy.

108
00:05:45,293 --> 00:05:48,573
Speaker 7: Yeah, they said I'd cliche four four point week and

109
00:05:48,813 --> 00:05:50,133
Speaker 7: you know you're going to the buy and you get

110
00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:53,373
Speaker 7: it to automate two points there. So yeah, it's awesome

111
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:55,653
Speaker 7: to get the win going into the buy and that

112
00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:57,653
Speaker 7: gives this at the conference. Three wins on the trun

113
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:59,813
Speaker 7: and we've still got a lot that we can improve on.

114
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,333
Speaker 7: Exciting farm for the future games.

115
00:06:03,453 --> 00:06:06,013
Speaker 8: How are you feeling midway through the second half? Look

116
00:06:06,053 --> 00:06:08,693
Speaker 8: when the Tigers had really come back into the match?

117
00:06:10,093 --> 00:06:12,333
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, they feel they were kind of really wrong,

118
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:15,213
Speaker 7: and probably about fifteen minutes into our second half that

119
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,213
Speaker 7: was looking really look good. I felt we just had

120
00:06:17,213 --> 00:06:19,733
Speaker 7: to hang in with them and just and just again,

121
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,933
Speaker 7: and we will confident that we would be able to

122
00:06:21,973 --> 00:06:23,173
Speaker 7: come over him in the end. We just had to

123
00:06:23,173 --> 00:06:24,893
Speaker 7: stay posing in the moment and just focus what we

124
00:06:24,933 --> 00:06:26,173
Speaker 7: can what we can.

125
00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:30,413
Speaker 8: Control on some crucial decisions as well. And I guess

126
00:06:30,413 --> 00:06:35,533
Speaker 8: that how important was that Tarrell May dropping the ball

127
00:06:35,573 --> 00:06:36,333
Speaker 8: over the line?

128
00:06:37,213 --> 00:06:40,213
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was good for us. I didn't even see

129
00:06:40,213 --> 00:06:41,973
Speaker 7: the replay. I just said the reaction and I went

130
00:06:42,013 --> 00:06:45,333
Speaker 7: straight up to the bunker and I didn't even actually

131
00:06:45,413 --> 00:06:47,453
Speaker 7: could I think all the voice were saying it knock on,

132
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:50,213
Speaker 7: So yeah, I just I actually can see it live,

133
00:06:50,693 --> 00:06:52,213
Speaker 7: so I don't even really know.

134
00:06:54,053 --> 00:06:55,973
Speaker 8: And can you just tell us about your view of

135
00:06:56,613 --> 00:07:00,093
Speaker 8: lekus try a remarkable if by the young guy.

136
00:07:01,093 --> 00:07:03,293
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was awesome, mom, I thought was just canning

137
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:08,613
Speaker 7: May close to the post. That was awesome. Squad first

138
00:07:08,653 --> 00:07:11,413
Speaker 7: front and roll like that. That's find of the first

139
00:07:11,493 --> 00:07:14,093
Speaker 7: trive of all time. And he's a freaking he's just

140
00:07:14,093 --> 00:07:16,493
Speaker 7: going to keep them. But he's only twenty years old,

141
00:07:16,533 --> 00:07:18,853
Speaker 7: which is crazy. But they're so excarting to see how

142
00:07:18,853 --> 00:07:21,053
Speaker 7: goody or he is and just imagining how good he

143
00:07:21,093 --> 00:07:21,373
Speaker 7: can be.

144
00:07:23,053 --> 00:07:24,973
Speaker 8: And as you say, it was a match where where

145
00:07:25,813 --> 00:07:29,493
Speaker 8: the Warriors sort of had their ups and downs. At

146
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:33,013
Speaker 8: times looked really dominant, other times the Tigers come back

147
00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:33,693
Speaker 8: into the match.

148
00:07:34,493 --> 00:07:36,813
Speaker 5: How tricky were those conditions though?

149
00:07:37,613 --> 00:07:41,653
Speaker 7: Yeah, they were like the rain, we're both playing in it,

150
00:07:41,693 --> 00:07:44,653
Speaker 7: so we both like in the range, so we're both

151
00:07:44,693 --> 00:07:46,933
Speaker 7: ten just suffered for the same sort of conditions. But yeah,

152
00:07:47,173 --> 00:07:50,173
Speaker 7: like one team was on top of the final ten

153
00:07:50,213 --> 00:07:52,293
Speaker 7: and then the other momentum swing and then the other

154
00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:53,533
Speaker 7: team would get it. And it was sort of a

155
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:57,173
Speaker 7: flowing game like that. So probably the whole eighty minutes, Yeah,

156
00:07:57,173 --> 00:07:59,053
Speaker 7: it was really The crowd was really cool. They were

157
00:07:59,053 --> 00:08:01,333
Speaker 7: into it and they're riding them home and so it's

158
00:08:01,373 --> 00:08:03,053
Speaker 7: so of awesome to get a wing like this away

159
00:08:03,053 --> 00:08:03,733
Speaker 7: from home.

160
00:08:04,733 --> 00:08:06,733
Speaker 5: And what does this do for your confidence?

161
00:08:07,013 --> 00:08:09,413
Speaker 8: Especially the way you finished the game with a with

162
00:08:09,493 --> 00:08:11,533
Speaker 8: a clutch conversion because he made it a bit more

163
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:13,773
Speaker 8: difficult than it could have been, as you say, and

164
00:08:13,813 --> 00:08:16,453
Speaker 8: then and then the and then the penalty.

165
00:08:17,493 --> 00:08:19,693
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's cool. It's something I've always wanted to do,

166
00:08:19,773 --> 00:08:22,493
Speaker 7: and they always think about you want to those moments.

167
00:08:22,613 --> 00:08:24,053
Speaker 7: I feel like I want the ball in my hands.

168
00:08:24,053 --> 00:08:26,973
Speaker 7: So yeah, for the more I get in those moments,

169
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:29,413
Speaker 7: the more confident I'll get them. And yeah, I just

170
00:08:29,413 --> 00:08:31,453
Speaker 7: want to keep grabbing them with both hands.

171
00:08:32,133 --> 00:08:33,013
Speaker 5: And it's early days.

172
00:08:33,053 --> 00:08:35,973
Speaker 8: I mean it's only your fourth game at number seven

173
00:08:36,013 --> 00:08:38,813
Speaker 8: for this team. But but how are you feeling about things?

174
00:08:40,293 --> 00:08:40,493
Speaker 5: Yeah?

175
00:08:40,573 --> 00:08:44,213
Speaker 7: I feel good for every game, learn like learning, and

176
00:08:44,973 --> 00:08:47,373
Speaker 7: there's always something that we get from the game or

177
00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:49,613
Speaker 7: something that we can that we can get better at,

178
00:08:49,653 --> 00:08:51,653
Speaker 7: and all things that we're doing well. So yeah, it's

179
00:08:51,653 --> 00:08:54,653
Speaker 7: cool to sort of have those three wins and still

180
00:08:54,693 --> 00:08:56,293
Speaker 7: not playing our best for you, but we're still getting

181
00:08:56,293 --> 00:08:57,893
Speaker 7: the job done and we go into the buy now

182
00:08:58,213 --> 00:09:00,133
Speaker 7: we need that time to sort of fix a few

183
00:09:00,133 --> 00:09:02,493
Speaker 7: things up and got a real big game come U

184
00:09:02,493 --> 00:09:03,813
Speaker 7: against Broncos next week.

185
00:09:04,893 --> 00:09:08,333
Speaker 5: What was Andrew Wester's message to you guys that have to.

186
00:09:10,333 --> 00:09:12,333
Speaker 7: Sort of similar to what we spoke about before the game,

187
00:09:12,453 --> 00:09:15,653
Speaker 7: just just stay in the in the in the ground

188
00:09:15,813 --> 00:09:17,413
Speaker 7: was twelve, I think it was twelve at half time,

189
00:09:17,533 --> 00:09:21,253
Speaker 7: so it was very similar to the messages before the

190
00:09:21,253 --> 00:09:23,333
Speaker 7: game is reiterated, just we just got to stay in it.

191
00:09:23,413 --> 00:09:26,413
Speaker 7: We don't have to do anything too too crazy, just

192
00:09:26,493 --> 00:09:28,373
Speaker 7: kicking at the corners and back out of fence and

193
00:09:28,373 --> 00:09:30,773
Speaker 7: then when we get the boards down and there and

194
00:09:30,853 --> 00:09:33,493
Speaker 7: just try and score score some trials. And yeah, it

195
00:09:33,533 --> 00:09:36,413
Speaker 7: was it was. Yeah, it was obviously tough. We probably

196
00:09:36,413 --> 00:09:38,093
Speaker 7: didn't go out and do what we wanted to. I've

197
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,133
Speaker 7: scored a try only on but so we sort of

198
00:09:40,173 --> 00:09:42,973
Speaker 7: fell after that. But in the last ten minutes we

199
00:09:42,973 --> 00:09:45,093
Speaker 7: we went mattered. We got to it.

200
00:09:46,213 --> 00:09:47,093
Speaker 5: And what did he say?

201
00:09:47,173 --> 00:09:49,773
Speaker 8: What was the general message after the after the match

202
00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:52,253
Speaker 8: to you guys, Yeah, it.

203
00:09:52,213 --> 00:09:54,533
Speaker 7: Was just that obviously it was just awesome to win.

204
00:09:54,733 --> 00:09:56,093
Speaker 7: But yea, there's a lot of stuff we can prove on,

205
00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:59,213
Speaker 7: but you're gotta just be happy that we stuck in

206
00:09:59,253 --> 00:10:02,013
Speaker 7: it and just stay present and the way to win

207
00:10:02,093 --> 00:10:04,653
Speaker 7: at the end, like I want to. They're a good

208
00:10:04,653 --> 00:10:07,813
Speaker 7: team and they weren't going to beat himself, so able

209
00:10:07,973 --> 00:10:09,653
Speaker 7: it was good to just just said it's good to

210
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:10,373
Speaker 7: get away with the win.

211
00:10:11,693 --> 00:10:13,413
Speaker 8: And how are you feeling things are going with the

212
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:15,853
Speaker 8: with the spine now that you have played a few

213
00:10:16,373 --> 00:10:18,413
Speaker 8: a few matches together, I mean a really nice try

214
00:10:18,453 --> 00:10:22,133
Speaker 8: that weighed helped create. How are you feeling about how

215
00:10:22,173 --> 00:10:22,893
Speaker 8: the spines going.

216
00:10:23,333 --> 00:10:26,573
Speaker 7: Yeah, that really easy for the playman. You've got someone

217
00:10:26,613 --> 00:10:28,173
Speaker 7: that way to dumb me after you just creates so

218
00:10:28,253 --> 00:10:32,093
Speaker 7: much space for everyone around him. And there's just a

219
00:10:32,093 --> 00:10:34,453
Speaker 7: really easy to sorder to just get the ball when

220
00:10:34,453 --> 00:10:36,733
Speaker 7: he creates that creates that for you. So it's been

221
00:10:36,773 --> 00:10:38,973
Speaker 7: awesome to be playing with two mentioned no, and I

222
00:10:39,213 --> 00:10:42,293
Speaker 7: can't wait to keep getting going our combination and getting

223
00:10:42,293 --> 00:10:42,973
Speaker 7: more games together.

224
00:10:43,693 --> 00:10:44,973
Speaker 5: What's his secret mate?

225
00:10:45,013 --> 00:10:47,333
Speaker 8: Because how does he keep doing these eighty minute games

226
00:10:47,493 --> 00:10:48,773
Speaker 8: at hooker?

227
00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:52,213
Speaker 7: I don't know, but I'd love to have something. Whatever

228
00:10:52,213 --> 00:10:55,613
Speaker 7: he is taken, I'd probably golf plays at the golf

229
00:10:55,693 --> 00:10:57,813
Speaker 7: that might be that might be freeing him, freeing him

230
00:10:57,853 --> 00:10:59,853
Speaker 7: up a little bit and getting his body nice and loose.

231
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:03,733
Speaker 8: So, and you're talking to golf, I know you've probably

232
00:11:03,773 --> 00:11:05,613
Speaker 8: got really busy times at home at the moment, but

233
00:11:05,653 --> 00:11:07,253
Speaker 8: what are your plans for the buy?

234
00:11:07,373 --> 00:11:09,573
Speaker 5: I assume you get you get a few days off.

235
00:11:10,973 --> 00:11:13,053
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we got a few days off. My partner's

236
00:11:13,093 --> 00:11:15,853
Speaker 7: third gay weeks pregnant shoes, So I'm planning on having

237
00:11:15,853 --> 00:11:17,653
Speaker 7: a baby, probably in the next week or so. So

238
00:11:18,453 --> 00:11:20,973
Speaker 7: they had nothing too crazy for me, just staying at

239
00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:22,613
Speaker 7: home and just yeah, it's relaxing.

240
00:11:22,813 --> 00:11:25,613
Speaker 8: Oh gee, I didn't know it was that close. Yeah,

241
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:29,293
Speaker 8: so well, the Jude data is sort of just around

242
00:11:29,293 --> 00:11:29,693
Speaker 8: the corner.

243
00:11:30,533 --> 00:11:35,853
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so probably in another week or so. The

244
00:11:35,973 --> 00:11:39,013
Speaker 7: Jue date is less than less than two weeks, so yeah,

245
00:11:39,053 --> 00:11:40,973
Speaker 7: but we might be having a little bit early, but

246
00:11:41,253 --> 00:11:44,853
Speaker 7: just hopefully by regain to work a real person.

247
00:11:45,213 --> 00:11:51,973
Speaker 2: The Big League Podcast podcast. This is the Big League Podcast.

248
00:11:53,613 --> 00:11:55,693
Speaker 3: Right, let's go through this game in a little bit

249
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:59,053
Speaker 3: more detail. Back and forth Tit for ten. I was

250
00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:01,373
Speaker 3: not hopeful when the Tigers were on the verge of

251
00:12:01,413 --> 00:12:05,053
Speaker 3: scoring to go up twelve with fifteen ish to play.

252
00:12:05,053 --> 00:12:08,253
Speaker 3: Coach Andrew Webster his sides performance was.

253
00:12:08,813 --> 00:12:11,213
Speaker 9: There's moments there where I thought we were about to

254
00:12:11,253 --> 00:12:12,933
Speaker 9: get on top here, and then there's moments there I

255
00:12:12,973 --> 00:12:14,853
Speaker 9: thought we're in lots of trouble. But I was just

256
00:12:14,853 --> 00:12:17,133
Speaker 9: super proud that we found a way and we are fine.

257
00:12:17,133 --> 00:12:18,213
Speaker 5: In a way at the moment.

258
00:12:17,973 --> 00:12:19,973
Speaker 3: They did ride their luck. Alex Pow. Let's take a

259
00:12:20,013 --> 00:12:21,533
Speaker 3: look at the first half as well. For me, it

260
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:24,533
Speaker 3: felt like the Warriors definitely had the ascendency. I thought

261
00:12:24,653 --> 00:12:26,693
Speaker 3: the Tigers were doing well to go into the break

262
00:12:26,933 --> 00:12:30,093
Speaker 3: at twelve or they started with a massive defensive statement

263
00:12:30,093 --> 00:12:32,093
Speaker 3: pushing the Tigers back into their own end goal in

264
00:12:32,133 --> 00:12:35,693
Speaker 3: the opening minute. For me, with ball in hand, they

265
00:12:35,773 --> 00:12:37,773
Speaker 3: just look powerful through the middle. You think about the

266
00:12:37,853 --> 00:12:40,013
Speaker 3: running lines of the likes of Val Mang and the

267
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:43,413
Speaker 3: a quarter are four. Adam Pompey having a blinder, scoring

268
00:12:43,413 --> 00:12:45,813
Speaker 3: a try and making four tackle breaks in the game.

269
00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:47,893
Speaker 4: Good for Bed and Pompey al right, because he knows

270
00:12:47,893 --> 00:12:50,133
Speaker 4: now Rockerberry's back, he's breaking down his neck. He wants

271
00:12:50,133 --> 00:12:52,213
Speaker 4: to keep that first grade spot, all right, So it

272
00:12:52,333 --> 00:12:55,693
Speaker 4: props to Adam first to Adam, sorry first up, but

273
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:57,933
Speaker 4: you're right. I think you remember back to twenty twenty three,

274
00:12:58,013 --> 00:12:59,973
Speaker 4: the first couple of wins they had when they were

275
00:12:59,973 --> 00:13:02,133
Speaker 4: really starting to find their style under Andrew Webster, and

276
00:13:02,173 --> 00:13:03,893
Speaker 4: it does remind me of that where they were playing

277
00:13:03,933 --> 00:13:05,533
Speaker 4: in good areas, in the right areas of the field,

278
00:13:05,693 --> 00:13:07,893
Speaker 4: but just weren't scoring points. But then we know that

279
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:10,453
Speaker 4: when they do get it all together, they can just

280
00:13:10,453 --> 00:13:13,133
Speaker 4: blow teams off park and we've already seen that against Manly, right,

281
00:13:13,213 --> 00:13:15,653
Speaker 4: so it's coming. But like just to touch on the Tigers,

282
00:13:15,693 --> 00:13:18,973
Speaker 4: like they remind me of the Tigers when Benji was playing.

283
00:13:19,573 --> 00:13:22,533
Speaker 4: Now that he's the coach, you know, they chuck it round.

284
00:13:22,613 --> 00:13:25,653
Speaker 4: They play a really good, interesting style of football. They're

285
00:13:25,653 --> 00:13:27,493
Speaker 4: a really good defensive side as well. And you think

286
00:13:27,533 --> 00:13:29,693
Speaker 4: the team that has finished so low down these last

287
00:13:29,693 --> 00:13:32,773
Speaker 4: few years, like they genuinely could contend to the eight

288
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:33,373
Speaker 4: this year.

289
00:13:33,733 --> 00:13:35,893
Speaker 3: And you wonder how much of that is down to

290
00:13:36,253 --> 00:13:38,253
Speaker 3: Jerome Leua and I guess the effect he would have

291
00:13:38,293 --> 00:13:40,453
Speaker 3: on the teammates around because it gives you confidence, right,

292
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:43,453
Speaker 3: having a guy like that four Premiership titles coming into

293
00:13:43,453 --> 00:13:47,013
Speaker 3: the side, that's going to lift everyone else. But the

294
00:13:47,053 --> 00:13:50,093
Speaker 3: Tigers were hamstring during this game and they had to

295
00:13:50,173 --> 00:13:52,533
Speaker 3: reshuffle their line a lot. They had a number of

296
00:13:52,613 --> 00:13:56,453
Speaker 3: injuries in that first half. They had middle Ford's playing center.

297
00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:59,693
Speaker 3: I remember listening to the comtators trying to work out

298
00:13:59,693 --> 00:14:01,893
Speaker 3: who was actually playing at center for the Tigers because

299
00:14:01,893 --> 00:14:04,493
Speaker 3: they had to reshuffle so many times. And the Warriors

300
00:14:04,493 --> 00:14:07,453
Speaker 3: sort of were able to take advantage of that, and

301
00:14:07,493 --> 00:14:09,813
Speaker 3: the Tigers were just opportunistic. I suppose with that last

302
00:14:09,813 --> 00:14:12,453
Speaker 3: try they scored before the break and they would have

303
00:14:12,453 --> 00:14:13,653
Speaker 3: been pretty happy at halftime.

304
00:14:14,413 --> 00:14:16,213
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I agree with what you said earlier.

305
00:14:16,253 --> 00:14:19,053
Speaker 4: The Warriors definitely didn't do enough in that first half

306
00:14:19,093 --> 00:14:21,853
Speaker 4: to cement the advantage that they actually had. But like

307
00:14:21,853 --> 00:14:23,693
Speaker 4: I said before, and you can always put this back

308
00:14:23,733 --> 00:14:26,373
Speaker 4: on the Tigers as well. That's what these good teams do.

309
00:14:26,853 --> 00:14:29,293
Speaker 4: They don't let you get away from them, and that's

310
00:14:29,293 --> 00:14:31,693
Speaker 4: what the Warriors did, I mean, obviously to their credit.

311
00:14:32,173 --> 00:14:35,493
Speaker 3: You mentioned Wade Egan at the start, and he was

312
00:14:35,533 --> 00:14:38,093
Speaker 3: doing a superb job, as I said, opening that space

313
00:14:38,373 --> 00:14:41,573
Speaker 3: around the rookie. He linked with Chanelle Harris de Vita

314
00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:44,253
Speaker 3: and Luke Metcalff, and the lead up to Metcalf's trying,

315
00:14:44,293 --> 00:14:47,533
Speaker 3: that all starts with that space. He's able to the

316
00:14:47,573 --> 00:14:52,533
Speaker 3: sort of coaxing the defenders. You know, the defense for

317
00:14:52,653 --> 00:14:56,013
Speaker 3: me sometimes a little bit loose around the middle, a

318
00:14:56,053 --> 00:14:59,333
Speaker 3: little bit around the bunti af court lacking and the

319
00:14:59,413 --> 00:15:03,453
Speaker 3: lead up to Faynu's try leaving a huge hole within

320
00:15:03,493 --> 00:15:06,893
Speaker 3: the ten and fai Nu just absolutely sailed through and

321
00:15:06,933 --> 00:15:10,333
Speaker 3: if you look at that second, the Tigers were in

322
00:15:10,453 --> 00:15:12,253
Speaker 3: charge for most of it, and you know, they went

323
00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:15,613
Speaker 3: up and they were they were pressing on the Warrior's

324
00:15:15,693 --> 00:15:18,013
Speaker 3: line for large parts and the Warriors got really lucky

325
00:15:18,413 --> 00:15:21,653
Speaker 3: with toral May dropping the ball over the line. There

326
00:15:21,693 --> 00:15:23,973
Speaker 3: was also another one where there was an obstruction and

327
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,493
Speaker 3: looked like one of the Tigers players had just sailed through.

328
00:15:27,693 --> 00:15:29,613
Speaker 3: What did you think of I guess the second half

329
00:15:29,653 --> 00:15:32,293
Speaker 3: as a whole, but just the Warrior's ability to hold

330
00:15:32,333 --> 00:15:33,813
Speaker 3: on that grip that we talked about.

331
00:15:34,093 --> 00:15:36,653
Speaker 4: It felt like that was really missing last year, didn't it.

332
00:15:36,693 --> 00:15:38,613
Speaker 4: Like you look at the number of games they'd lose

333
00:15:38,693 --> 00:15:40,733
Speaker 4: by less than a converted try, you know, I think

334
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:43,013
Speaker 4: it was about seven, you know. So to be in

335
00:15:43,093 --> 00:15:45,933
Speaker 4: these tight contests and to actually come away winning them,

336
00:15:45,973 --> 00:15:47,333
Speaker 4: because like I said, they lost seven, I think they

337
00:15:47,333 --> 00:15:49,613
Speaker 4: only won three by less than a committed trial less

338
00:15:49,693 --> 00:15:53,133
Speaker 4: rather so to have that experience, bank that experience as

339
00:15:53,173 --> 00:15:55,133
Speaker 4: they go further into this season, I think it's going

340
00:15:55,213 --> 00:15:56,773
Speaker 4: to be invaluable come the right time.

341
00:15:57,533 --> 00:16:01,653
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Lekahalaesima and his try that run down

342
00:16:02,173 --> 00:16:07,453
Speaker 3: the right edge evaded three defenders to the crowd, in

343
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:10,293
Speaker 3: the lead up, which I mean, I don't mind, but

344
00:16:11,373 --> 00:16:12,853
Speaker 3: he was getting he was coughing up with a flat

345
00:16:13,253 --> 00:16:17,973
Speaker 3: from the commentator or the sky coverage afterwards, And obviously

346
00:16:18,653 --> 00:16:21,893
Speaker 3: Metcalf said in his interview with Birds There that he

347
00:16:21,933 --> 00:16:25,453
Speaker 3: woulted Hallo Sema to run the ball and under the post.

348
00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:28,733
Speaker 3: I was laughing because as they showed a replay of

349
00:16:28,773 --> 00:16:31,333
Speaker 3: the coach's box when Halosima was running in to score

350
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:34,253
Speaker 3: that try, Webster was cheering on. You can see Stacy

351
00:16:34,333 --> 00:16:37,773
Speaker 3: Jones go under the post, under the post and he

352
00:16:37,933 --> 00:16:39,693
Speaker 3: threw the pen on the ground when he scored the

353
00:16:39,733 --> 00:16:43,053
Speaker 3: try away out to the right. So I mean that's

354
00:16:43,093 --> 00:16:45,293
Speaker 3: an experience right there. He's nineteen, he's going to learn,

355
00:16:45,333 --> 00:16:49,093
Speaker 3: he's going to get better. But mits Barnett's lauded Halasima

356
00:16:49,173 --> 00:16:49,893
Speaker 3: for his performance.

357
00:16:49,933 --> 00:16:51,813
Speaker 5: He's a special kiddo. He's going to have a long

358
00:16:51,853 --> 00:16:52,493
Speaker 5: career if he wants to.

359
00:16:52,653 --> 00:16:54,413
Speaker 9: Like some of the things he can do on the

360
00:16:54,533 --> 00:16:55,773
Speaker 9: footy field, I wish I could do.

361
00:16:55,933 --> 00:16:59,373
Speaker 3: But he's a humble kid and just happy he had

362
00:16:59,373 --> 00:17:03,173
Speaker 3: that moment. And Webster agrees with Barnett, but has one condition.

363
00:17:03,413 --> 00:17:05,893
Speaker 3: As Halosima, as we said, race his finger to his

364
00:17:05,933 --> 00:17:08,813
Speaker 3: lips fifteen meters from the line.

365
00:17:08,853 --> 00:17:11,053
Speaker 9: I wish he went around and scored on the sticks,

366
00:17:11,093 --> 00:17:13,613
Speaker 9: and you said he was grounded. He was a bit

367
00:17:13,693 --> 00:17:16,853
Speaker 9: larry there, but the young guys like that learn.

368
00:17:16,893 --> 00:17:18,933
Speaker 3: You know, what were you thinking when he was charging.

369
00:17:18,653 --> 00:17:21,173
Speaker 4: To the line, So to be honest, I was watching

370
00:17:21,213 --> 00:17:24,773
Speaker 4: the game on a slight delay from my neighbor.

371
00:17:24,693 --> 00:17:25,653
Speaker 3: Who is a big Words fan.

372
00:17:25,893 --> 00:17:28,893
Speaker 4: Anytime something happened, I got a little bit of an indication.

373
00:17:28,973 --> 00:17:31,053
Speaker 4: I just heard him start going off and the Warriors

374
00:17:31,053 --> 00:17:32,573
Speaker 4: were so deep in their own half at that point,

375
00:17:32,773 --> 00:17:35,293
Speaker 4: and Leker just breaks down the wing and you're just thinking, gay,

376
00:17:35,293 --> 00:17:36,893
Speaker 4: He's like you remember that game he played. I think it

377
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:38,773
Speaker 4: was his debut, wasn't it where normally he had that

378
00:17:38,853 --> 00:17:41,733
Speaker 4: huge run playing at center and nearly got it over

379
00:17:41,733 --> 00:17:43,173
Speaker 4: the line. So it was great see him actually get

380
00:17:43,213 --> 00:17:45,253
Speaker 4: over for his first try. But I agree with everything

381
00:17:45,293 --> 00:17:47,293
Speaker 4: Barnett and Whibs have said that I absolutely love le Aho.

382
00:17:47,453 --> 00:17:51,173
Speaker 4: Seem like we heard when Adam Vanila Blake signed to

383
00:17:51,173 --> 00:17:53,293
Speaker 4: go to the Sharks, he said no, no. The young

384
00:17:53,373 --> 00:17:55,533
Speaker 4: Ford's coming through at the moment, not just Leger but

385
00:17:56,293 --> 00:18:00,013
Speaker 4: Dimitry Wager, Jacob laban Zimo who was part of that

386
00:18:00,013 --> 00:18:01,133
Speaker 4: Ben and he's gone to the board. I was like,

387
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:04,493
Speaker 4: the development of this next generation of Warriors forwards, it

388
00:18:04,653 --> 00:18:07,573
Speaker 4: just looks so promising. I really hope that they can

389
00:18:07,613 --> 00:18:10,053
Speaker 4: all stay together have great careers at the Warriors.

390
00:18:10,253 --> 00:18:13,053
Speaker 3: And you forget Ali Lattala is sort of part of

391
00:18:13,053 --> 00:18:15,773
Speaker 3: that group as well, and he's now just the regular

392
00:18:15,973 --> 00:18:19,413
Speaker 3: Warriors starting center. Obviously, unfortunate for Rocker Berry, we thought

393
00:18:19,413 --> 00:18:21,333
Speaker 3: he was going to come back. Pompey shifted to the wing,

394
00:18:21,493 --> 00:18:24,933
Speaker 3: moved back to Sendecausebury. What he did is hamstring during

395
00:18:24,933 --> 00:18:28,893
Speaker 3: the week. Then obviously Ed Corsey comes onto the wing.

396
00:18:29,293 --> 00:18:33,773
Speaker 3: But Lataha has been outstanding and obviously, you know young players,

397
00:18:34,173 --> 00:18:36,613
Speaker 3: there are defensive areas from time to time, and that's

398
00:18:36,613 --> 00:18:39,093
Speaker 3: obviously going to happen. But the amount of power that

399
00:18:39,093 --> 00:18:42,133
Speaker 3: they're coming through, with the amount of talent, raw talent,

400
00:18:42,733 --> 00:18:43,893
Speaker 3: I think it says a lot. We're going to talk

401
00:18:43,893 --> 00:18:47,213
Speaker 3: about Dylan Walker leaving in a few moments, but that

402
00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:49,973
Speaker 3: Cameron George said after that that we're not going to

403
00:18:49,973 --> 00:18:52,653
Speaker 3: look outside for another lot. We're going to look within

404
00:18:52,733 --> 00:18:54,973
Speaker 3: the club. We're a development club and that just shows

405
00:18:54,973 --> 00:18:57,133
Speaker 3: the confidence they have and the young players that are

406
00:18:57,133 --> 00:18:59,253
Speaker 3: coming through and we're starting to see shades of that.

407
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:02,213
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Ajlasima is nineteen. Can you imagine how

408
00:19:02,213 --> 00:19:04,893
Speaker 3: good he's going to be in seven eight years. He's

409
00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:07,853
Speaker 3: only going to be twenty six, twenty seven, Like he's

410
00:19:07,893 --> 00:19:10,053
Speaker 3: still even hit his peak. Yeah.

411
00:19:10,293 --> 00:19:12,413
Speaker 4: No, I agree with everything you've said that. It's like

412
00:19:12,813 --> 00:19:15,813
Speaker 4: the Warriors at all levels bar n RL do have

413
00:19:15,973 --> 00:19:18,613
Speaker 4: very good success. They've won the Harold Matthews they you know,

414
00:19:18,613 --> 00:19:21,053
Speaker 4: they're generally there are thereabouts of the New Southwa's Cup and

415
00:19:21,253 --> 00:19:23,573
Speaker 4: just making sure these guys have a pathway to come through.

416
00:19:23,653 --> 00:19:26,013
Speaker 4: I know that, like the issue of NROL recruitment is

417
00:19:26,053 --> 00:19:27,813
Speaker 4: you need guys who are ready to go now. You

418
00:19:27,853 --> 00:19:30,293
Speaker 4: can't really invest in a young half for a young

419
00:19:30,333 --> 00:19:33,373
Speaker 4: forward like that. But because of the stocks that the

420
00:19:33,373 --> 00:19:35,373
Speaker 4: Warriors do have at the moment and the leadership of

421
00:19:35,493 --> 00:19:37,453
Speaker 4: you know, guys like Adam fil Blake and Delawalker and

422
00:19:37,533 --> 00:19:40,093
Speaker 4: justifying the last year to be mentors and now Mitch

423
00:19:40,133 --> 00:19:42,813
Speaker 4: Barnett and James Fisher Harris and Kirk Capbole, like there

424
00:19:42,853 --> 00:19:45,453
Speaker 4: are such a good pathway for these young guys to

425
00:19:45,453 --> 00:19:47,493
Speaker 4: come into first grade now and I just hope it

426
00:19:47,573 --> 00:19:48,133
Speaker 4: keeps happening.

427
00:19:49,213 --> 00:19:53,613
Speaker 3: Now, let's discuss Luke Metcalf and we his composure off

428
00:19:53,653 --> 00:19:55,453
Speaker 3: the tee in this game. I do want to talk

429
00:19:55,453 --> 00:19:58,053
Speaker 3: about a bit of the kicking in game, but in

430
00:19:58,213 --> 00:20:01,013
Speaker 3: terms of off the tea, he held his own and

431
00:20:01,053 --> 00:20:03,293
Speaker 3: obviously he talked about he would have liked that closer

432
00:20:03,333 --> 00:20:05,733
Speaker 3: to the posts after the Hall of Sema try. But

433
00:20:05,813 --> 00:20:09,733
Speaker 3: he stepped up in difficult conditions, nailed it on the angle,

434
00:20:09,773 --> 00:20:12,333
Speaker 3: and then as soon as that penalty came with just

435
00:20:12,373 --> 00:20:14,893
Speaker 3: a few minutes to go, he immediately was like, ye,

436
00:20:15,013 --> 00:20:17,733
Speaker 3: give me the kick, forty meters out in front into

437
00:20:17,813 --> 00:20:20,973
Speaker 3: the wind. He immediately he had his hands up two points,

438
00:20:21,013 --> 00:20:22,773
Speaker 3: two points were taking the two. I'll take the kick.

439
00:20:23,213 --> 00:20:28,213
Speaker 3: I love that attitude and that sort of put me

440
00:20:28,253 --> 00:20:30,493
Speaker 3: in the box seat, put me in the driver's seat

441
00:20:30,573 --> 00:20:34,293
Speaker 3: and put the pressure on me. He relishes that we've

442
00:20:34,293 --> 00:20:37,253
Speaker 3: still admits that he had his doubts with those last kicks.

443
00:20:37,333 --> 00:20:39,253
Speaker 9: The wind looked really strong in the second half ONLM.

444
00:20:39,293 --> 00:20:41,693
Speaker 9: We're kicking the ball and it was forty out and

445
00:20:41,293 --> 00:20:43,613
Speaker 9: I was like, if he wants it, let's take it,

446
00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:45,653
Speaker 9: and he wanted it, like straight away he wanted it,

447
00:20:45,693 --> 00:20:47,773
Speaker 9: so as I awsome and then I was nervous with

448
00:20:47,853 --> 00:20:49,333
Speaker 9: the distance, but he smashed it.

449
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:51,213
Speaker 5: I just loved how he stood up in wanted that moment.

450
00:20:52,173 --> 00:20:54,573
Speaker 4: Luke Metcalf needed that, didn't he. Like we've spoken all

451
00:20:54,613 --> 00:20:56,293
Speaker 4: season about as he reads to be the main man,

452
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:58,093
Speaker 4: and I think now he's done the show. Not only

453
00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:00,373
Speaker 4: can he be the main man he wants to. I

454
00:21:00,373 --> 00:21:03,733
Speaker 4: think that's so pivotal for a halfback to actually take

455
00:21:03,773 --> 00:21:06,733
Speaker 4: that burden on yourself, you know, and he's wet spot

456
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:09,173
Speaker 4: around it. I think that half sparing was like they're

457
00:21:09,173 --> 00:21:12,133
Speaker 4: about the same age, they've got similar levels of experience

458
00:21:12,133 --> 00:21:14,213
Speaker 4: and how long they've actually been playing. Metcalfs lost a

459
00:21:14,213 --> 00:21:16,893
Speaker 4: lot of games because he's just been injured. But those

460
00:21:16,893 --> 00:21:18,733
Speaker 4: two are going to go together, you know, and they're

461
00:21:18,733 --> 00:21:20,813
Speaker 4: gonna wait. Like we saw Chanelle win a game last

462
00:21:20,853 --> 00:21:22,813
Speaker 4: week off his own pat and now Metcalf's done it

463
00:21:22,853 --> 00:21:25,773
Speaker 4: this week. And so for those two to be doing

464
00:21:25,813 --> 00:21:27,973
Speaker 4: this now, I think is such good signs.

465
00:21:28,253 --> 00:21:31,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's props also to Webster to keep giving

466
00:21:31,733 --> 00:21:34,533
Speaker 3: him them that opportunity. Not swapping out for Tomartin Martin.

467
00:21:34,573 --> 00:21:36,293
Speaker 3: I was calling for Tomight and Martin to come and

468
00:21:36,293 --> 00:21:38,213
Speaker 3: not Christian now had played badly just because I thought

469
00:21:38,213 --> 00:21:41,213
Speaker 3: we needed more leadership in the halves. But those two

470
00:21:41,693 --> 00:21:43,253
Speaker 3: are playing, are going strength to strength.

471
00:21:43,573 --> 00:21:44,973
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've got Tanner Boyd in there as well.

472
00:21:45,013 --> 00:21:47,213
Speaker 4: Remember Tanner Boyd is probably the most experienced half they've

473
00:21:47,213 --> 00:21:48,493
Speaker 4: got on the box, isn't he.

474
00:21:48,533 --> 00:21:48,613
Speaker 9: No.

475
00:21:48,653 --> 00:21:50,533
Speaker 4: I think Tomarty Martin might just edge it. But they've

476
00:21:50,533 --> 00:21:53,493
Speaker 4: signed Tanner Boyd for a reason, you know. And now

477
00:21:53,533 --> 00:21:55,453
Speaker 4: he's just sort of sitting in reserve grade waiting for

478
00:21:55,493 --> 00:21:57,653
Speaker 4: a chance if and when it's given to him. And

479
00:21:57,773 --> 00:21:59,893
Speaker 4: I think the Warriors will want to say no, just

480
00:22:00,013 --> 00:22:02,133
Speaker 4: you stay there and they still be our guys.

481
00:22:02,253 --> 00:22:05,253
Speaker 3: Now, speaking of the halves, I do still have a

482
00:22:05,333 --> 00:22:08,853
Speaker 3: few thoughts around the Warrior's fifth tackle plays. And obviously

483
00:22:08,853 --> 00:22:12,213
Speaker 3: in Vegas that was the issue that there weren't didn't

484
00:22:12,213 --> 00:22:13,813
Speaker 3: seem to be any fifth tackle players. They said they

485
00:22:13,813 --> 00:22:15,613
Speaker 3: went away from the game. Pan that's sort of come

486
00:22:15,733 --> 00:22:17,933
Speaker 3: right in the last few weeks. But I was talking

487
00:22:17,933 --> 00:22:20,733
Speaker 3: to a Country Sport breakfast producer, Mark Kelly out in

488
00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:23,893
Speaker 3: the newsroom earlier and he pointed out that a lot

489
00:22:23,933 --> 00:22:27,093
Speaker 3: of the time the Warriors attacking inside the opposition twenty

490
00:22:27,093 --> 00:22:29,373
Speaker 3: metcalf is are shoveling the ball on. We're looking for

491
00:22:29,493 --> 00:22:32,293
Speaker 3: running options rather than kicking options. There were a few

492
00:22:32,293 --> 00:22:34,413
Speaker 3: grubbers on a Chanelle was playing his part with the boot.

493
00:22:34,733 --> 00:22:38,253
Speaker 3: I'm struggling to think of an attacking bomb that was

494
00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:41,533
Speaker 3: contestable next to the try line in that game from

495
00:22:41,573 --> 00:22:42,333
Speaker 3: the Warriors.

496
00:22:43,093 --> 00:22:44,733
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you're looking at I mean, especially out

497
00:22:44,773 --> 00:22:46,533
Speaker 4: on the wings ta into a peck. He's not going

498
00:22:46,573 --> 00:22:48,013
Speaker 4: to beat anyone in the air, so you're not really

499
00:22:48,013 --> 00:22:49,973
Speaker 4: going to put an attacking bomb up there. But like

500
00:22:50,013 --> 00:22:51,413
Speaker 4: I mean, we saw it last week, but the Roosts

501
00:22:51,533 --> 00:22:54,853
Speaker 4: gam didn't even Chanelle mostly bombed it to himself, you know.

502
00:22:56,053 --> 00:22:58,413
Speaker 4: But I think it is just a natural instinct for

503
00:22:58,453 --> 00:23:00,533
Speaker 4: Metcalf as the attacking leader to run the ball like

504
00:23:00,573 --> 00:23:02,213
Speaker 4: we saw him, you know, run the ball on the

505
00:23:02,253 --> 00:23:05,133
Speaker 4: last tackle and get found out. Was it once or twice?

506
00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:06,973
Speaker 4: I think it was only once. But it is just

507
00:23:07,013 --> 00:23:10,173
Speaker 4: something that, like Web said, like, they're not the finished article.

508
00:23:10,293 --> 00:23:12,133
Speaker 4: You know, the fact that they are playing like this

509
00:23:12,253 --> 00:23:14,453
Speaker 4: and winning games is great, but they know that there

510
00:23:14,533 --> 00:23:16,573
Speaker 4: is still levels to go to and they know to

511
00:23:16,613 --> 00:23:19,013
Speaker 4: get there. They probably know how to get there because

512
00:23:19,013 --> 00:23:21,613
Speaker 4: they've got enough winners around them with guys like Fisher Harris.

513
00:23:22,373 --> 00:23:24,853
Speaker 4: So it's now up to the leadership at the club

514
00:23:24,893 --> 00:23:27,733
Speaker 4: and the coaches and the playing group to work out

515
00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:28,813
Speaker 4: how they get there together.

516
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:33,413
Speaker 3: Yeah. One with four rounds in three in one, they

517
00:23:33,453 --> 00:23:35,773
Speaker 3: sit sixth on the ladder and they've got to guarantee

518
00:23:35,773 --> 00:23:37,373
Speaker 3: two points with the buy this week, So they're going

519
00:23:37,453 --> 00:23:39,093
Speaker 3: to go Because teams on top out are playing each other,

520
00:23:39,133 --> 00:23:40,693
Speaker 3: they're going to go higher. They're going to be higher

521
00:23:40,733 --> 00:23:45,373
Speaker 3: than six going into a round six. What do you

522
00:23:45,413 --> 00:23:47,533
Speaker 3: give this team? If you give them a great ABCD,

523
00:23:48,493 --> 00:23:51,733
Speaker 3: where do you think they're at this point from the

524
00:23:51,773 --> 00:23:53,053
Speaker 3: first four weeks of competition.

525
00:23:54,373 --> 00:23:56,933
Speaker 4: I'm probably looking at a B B plus. You know,

526
00:23:57,133 --> 00:23:59,573
Speaker 4: I think the last three weeks have been exceptional, but

527
00:23:59,653 --> 00:24:02,213
Speaker 4: that first week in Vegas cannot be overlooked yet.

528
00:24:02,693 --> 00:24:05,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to go for a B plus. Three

529
00:24:06,053 --> 00:24:10,133
Speaker 3: fantastic wins, showing plenty of heart and as we said,

530
00:24:10,133 --> 00:24:13,773
Speaker 3: composure and the willingness to put themselves in the pressure

531
00:24:13,773 --> 00:24:17,733
Speaker 3: box like Metcalfe did with the Kicks. However, because I'm

532
00:24:17,773 --> 00:24:20,253
Speaker 3: still not convinced around the Warrior's attack, and Chanelle and

533
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:23,853
Speaker 3: Luc are still growing as a combination, it's almost exciting

534
00:24:24,893 --> 00:24:29,053
Speaker 3: that we know they are still way off their ceiling

535
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:32,373
Speaker 3: in terms of what they are capable of, and Metcalf

536
00:24:32,373 --> 00:24:35,133
Speaker 3: obviously talked about that in his chat with Burge as well.

537
00:24:35,293 --> 00:24:37,533
Speaker 3: This team has got a long way to go, a

538
00:24:37,573 --> 00:24:39,413
Speaker 3: long way to go. But the fact that they're getting

539
00:24:39,493 --> 00:24:42,333
Speaker 3: these wins over the likes of the Roosters and the Tigers,

540
00:24:42,373 --> 00:24:45,693
Speaker 3: who are actually good this year, gives a hell of

541
00:24:45,733 --> 00:24:46,413
Speaker 3: a lot of promise.

542
00:24:46,453 --> 00:24:47,973
Speaker 4: Well, not only that, but remember the one over Manly.

543
00:24:47,973 --> 00:24:50,053
Speaker 4: Remember after round Whine, everyone's saying, Oh, Manly are going

544
00:24:50,093 --> 00:24:51,373
Speaker 4: to be a top four side. No one's saying that

545
00:24:51,413 --> 00:24:53,293
Speaker 4: anymore because the war is really put into the sword

546
00:24:53,293 --> 00:24:56,293
Speaker 4: at Mount Smart.

547
00:24:55,253 --> 00:24:58,853
Speaker 2: The Big League podcast for the biggest league fans.

548
00:25:00,053 --> 00:25:04,893
Speaker 3: Right, Alex a story that we weren't expecting last week

549
00:25:05,053 --> 00:25:08,093
Speaker 3: and it is a big blow to the club. Dylan

550
00:25:08,133 --> 00:25:11,533
Speaker 3: wall Walker, utility forward, one of the one of my

551
00:25:11,613 --> 00:25:15,293
Speaker 3: favorite characters of the Warriors over the last few years.

552
00:25:15,413 --> 00:25:19,853
Speaker 3: He's leaving. He's gone to paramatter, returning to Australia on

553
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:23,053
Speaker 3: compassionate grounds, is without his family for a number of

554
00:25:23,053 --> 00:25:24,413
Speaker 3: months and you just got to a point where he

555
00:25:24,413 --> 00:25:27,613
Speaker 3: decided he couldn't do it. I actually am really supportive

556
00:25:27,653 --> 00:25:29,453
Speaker 3: of the way the Warriors have handled this in terms

557
00:25:29,453 --> 00:25:31,133
Speaker 3: of Cameron George coming out and saying, look, we treat

558
00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:33,653
Speaker 3: our players. They're not, you know, just employees the humans.

559
00:25:34,253 --> 00:25:36,293
Speaker 3: Walker obviously needs to be with his family. He's making

560
00:25:36,293 --> 00:25:40,173
Speaker 3: this decision based off his kids, and that's completely understandable

561
00:25:40,173 --> 00:25:42,413
Speaker 3: and I don't I don't think there's anything wrong with

562
00:25:42,493 --> 00:25:45,333
Speaker 3: that at all. But in terms of the way the

563
00:25:45,373 --> 00:25:48,333
Speaker 3: Warriors use him as a facilitator and also as a leader,

564
00:25:49,093 --> 00:25:51,293
Speaker 3: this is a this is a tough hold of film.

565
00:25:51,533 --> 00:25:54,173
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed, complete with what you said about Dylan Walker.

566
00:25:54,213 --> 00:25:56,293
Speaker 4: He was a very important character at the club. You know,

567
00:25:56,373 --> 00:25:59,373
Speaker 4: he was great with media. He always answered questions, he

568
00:25:59,453 --> 00:26:01,933
Speaker 4: answered them as himself. He as authentic and to think

569
00:26:01,973 --> 00:26:04,733
Speaker 4: that he's been doing it tough is pretty hard to hear.

570
00:26:05,013 --> 00:26:07,973
Speaker 4: So great to see him actually go back to Australian

571
00:26:08,013 --> 00:26:10,093
Speaker 4: being with his If he'd gone to a better club

572
00:26:10,133 --> 00:26:12,333
Speaker 4: than the Eels, who are bobbins at the moment, then

573
00:26:12,413 --> 00:26:14,653
Speaker 4: I might be annoyed, but you're all right, I'm going

574
00:26:14,653 --> 00:26:16,693
Speaker 4: to them at the bottom of the table. But you're right,

575
00:26:16,693 --> 00:26:19,133
Speaker 4: that is such a big role to for like we

576
00:26:19,133 --> 00:26:20,893
Speaker 4: we tend to think of enter else sides as one

577
00:26:20,893 --> 00:26:23,333
Speaker 4: to thirteen, but they're really not. It's one to seventeen,

578
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:25,813
Speaker 4: if not one to about thirty. You know, you need

579
00:26:25,933 --> 00:26:27,613
Speaker 4: every member of your squad to be able to do

580
00:26:27,653 --> 00:26:30,013
Speaker 4: a job at a certain point, and Dylan Walker has

581
00:26:30,093 --> 00:26:32,693
Speaker 4: done basically every job. He's played in the Falls, he's

582
00:26:32,693 --> 00:26:34,293
Speaker 4: played in the Senate, as he's played in the Harbs.

583
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:36,293
Speaker 4: Remember that in his first year playing half back when

584
00:26:36,293 --> 00:26:39,973
Speaker 4: Sewn Johnson was injured. So that's a huge, huge loss

585
00:26:39,973 --> 00:26:40,613
Speaker 4: for the Warriors.

586
00:26:41,613 --> 00:26:43,773
Speaker 3: It's not just a loss, I suppose in terms of

587
00:26:44,413 --> 00:26:46,573
Speaker 3: his role on the field, in terms of what he does

588
00:26:46,613 --> 00:26:48,613
Speaker 3: with ball in hand, but also in leadership. If you

589
00:26:48,613 --> 00:26:52,253
Speaker 3: think about the fact that Shawn Johnson's gone to Harris

590
00:26:52,733 --> 00:26:56,133
Speaker 3: has gone my salem Ontoy, my salem on Toya, like

591
00:26:56,213 --> 00:26:59,493
Speaker 3: Dlan Martinis, Alesniks injured and phenomenal, it's a it's a

592
00:26:59,613 --> 00:27:03,173
Speaker 3: rotating door of people leaving the Warriors or being out

593
00:27:03,213 --> 00:27:06,373
Speaker 3: of action in the case of Dlan. But that leadership

594
00:27:06,413 --> 00:27:10,853
Speaker 3: has to come from somewhere, and Aaron Clark is a

595
00:27:10,973 --> 00:27:14,453
Speaker 3: very experienced player that for me, some of that does

596
00:27:14,493 --> 00:27:16,573
Speaker 3: fall on him. It's difficult because he's in terms of

597
00:27:16,733 --> 00:27:19,853
Speaker 3: ball play. He's very different to Taho and Walker. Both

598
00:27:20,093 --> 00:27:24,773
Speaker 3: Toho and Dylan are more facilitators playmaking styles. Aaron Clark

599
00:27:24,813 --> 00:27:27,613
Speaker 3: runs the ball straight and hard, so he's going to

600
00:27:27,613 --> 00:27:30,493
Speaker 3: pick up the mantle there. But also in a leadership capacity.

601
00:27:31,253 --> 00:27:34,093
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've been blown away by Aaron Clark,

602
00:27:34,093 --> 00:27:35,773
Speaker 4: to be honest, Like you remember back to his one

603
00:27:35,813 --> 00:27:37,573
Speaker 4: appearance he got four the Warriors before he left.

604
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:38,413
Speaker 3: That was as a half back.

605
00:27:38,733 --> 00:27:40,693
Speaker 4: And he goes away and he goes to canber and

606
00:27:40,693 --> 00:27:42,453
Speaker 4: he goes to the Gold Coast and just comes back,

607
00:27:42,733 --> 00:27:44,453
Speaker 4: you know, because he a he wants to he wants

608
00:27:44,493 --> 00:27:46,133
Speaker 4: to be in Auckland, he wants his family to grow

609
00:27:46,173 --> 00:27:49,013
Speaker 4: up here. But he's come back and he has just

610
00:27:49,213 --> 00:27:51,693
Speaker 4: probably for me, been the most important player of this season,

611
00:27:51,693 --> 00:27:54,013
Speaker 4: which is a huge thing to put on someone in

612
00:27:54,053 --> 00:27:56,813
Speaker 4: their first well you say first year, his first year back,

613
00:27:56,853 --> 00:27:58,573
Speaker 4: but you look at like a James Fisher Harris and

614
00:27:58,573 --> 00:28:00,453
Speaker 4: the role he was expected to play and he is

615
00:28:00,493 --> 00:28:02,733
Speaker 4: playing it, you know, as as a forward and as

616
00:28:02,733 --> 00:28:05,853
Speaker 4: a leader. Aaron Clark. For me, if you look at

617
00:28:05,973 --> 00:28:10,573
Speaker 4: what Tah Harris brought to the club, Aaron Clark at

618
00:28:10,613 --> 00:28:13,493
Speaker 4: this point in time as an upgrade, you know, And like,

619
00:28:13,533 --> 00:28:15,133
Speaker 4: that's not saying he's going to have a better career

620
00:28:15,133 --> 00:28:17,533
Speaker 4: than Toy because Toyer Harris, you know, won premierships, he

621
00:28:17,573 --> 00:28:21,373
Speaker 4: played Test football. But at this exact moment of the

622
00:28:21,373 --> 00:28:23,453
Speaker 4: player that Toy Harris was when he retired and the

623
00:28:23,453 --> 00:28:26,093
Speaker 4: player Aaron Clark is now, Aaron Clark is a better

624
00:28:26,133 --> 00:28:28,853
Speaker 4: option for the Warriors. And that feels almost wrong to say,

625
00:28:28,973 --> 00:28:30,533
Speaker 4: but I don't think I'm incorrect.

626
00:28:30,893 --> 00:28:37,613
Speaker 2: The Big League Podcast podcast, this is going the Big

627
00:28:37,693 --> 00:28:41,093
Speaker 2: League Podcast on the Warriors bad wagon since day one.

628
00:28:41,493 --> 00:28:44,093
Speaker 3: All right, we'll go through quick fire predictions for a

629
00:28:44,173 --> 00:28:47,933
Speaker 3: round not involving the Warriors this week. Alex Poucer, Let's

630
00:28:47,933 --> 00:28:50,093
Speaker 3: have a but of fun with it. Let's get started.

631
00:28:50,173 --> 00:28:55,973
Speaker 3: Raiders versus the Sharks and Canberra Raiders. Yeah, interesting two

632
00:28:56,013 --> 00:28:58,813
Speaker 3: sides who looked very very strong at opening rounds and

633
00:28:58,813 --> 00:29:02,173
Speaker 3: they both had losses in Week four of the NRL,

634
00:29:02,253 --> 00:29:05,773
Speaker 3: the Raiders losing to the Cowboys, the Sharks to the Bulldogs,

635
00:29:05,773 --> 00:29:08,653
Speaker 3: who obviously look very good. I'm going to go with

636
00:29:08,693 --> 00:29:13,213
Speaker 3: the Sharks to bounce back here. Panthers versus the Cowboys.

637
00:29:14,253 --> 00:29:17,533
Speaker 4: Oh, Panthers law of averages if you say the Panthers.

638
00:29:17,533 --> 00:29:18,493
Speaker 4: You'll be right eventually.

639
00:29:18,733 --> 00:29:22,133
Speaker 3: I mean the Panthers. What is going on? Was anyone

640
00:29:22,173 --> 00:29:24,693
Speaker 3: picking the Bunnies to beat the Panthers twenty eight to eight?

641
00:29:24,973 --> 00:29:26,653
Speaker 4: No, but off the last couple of weeks. That's now

642
00:29:26,653 --> 00:29:27,653
Speaker 4: three in a row the Panthers.

643
00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:31,653
Speaker 3: They've dropped three in a row? Is it over? Is

644
00:29:31,693 --> 00:29:36,573
Speaker 3: the dynasty gone? It's gone? With Jerome Lewi to the Tigers.

645
00:29:36,773 --> 00:29:40,893
Speaker 4: Fisher Haris to the Warriors. Oh yeah, Sidney Tarriva to

646
00:29:40,893 --> 00:29:44,133
Speaker 4: the Tigers. No, look, I think I'm gonna go to

647
00:29:44,133 --> 00:29:46,213
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Just the you look at Nathan Cleary not

648
00:29:46,293 --> 00:29:49,853
Speaker 4: being there, Jerome Lewai not being there, Adam Vanila Blake,

649
00:29:50,573 --> 00:29:53,213
Speaker 4: like James Fisher Harris not being there. I think this

650
00:29:53,293 --> 00:29:54,653
Speaker 4: actually might be too much.

651
00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:58,013
Speaker 3: They've lost now, I can't tip against I just it's

652
00:29:58,493 --> 00:30:01,413
Speaker 3: four years, man, They've got to win. They're at home.

653
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:05,293
Speaker 3: Panthers to beat the Cowboys. Rabbit O's Roosters, Battle of

654
00:30:05,373 --> 00:30:09,653
Speaker 3: Sydney Bunnies. I'm gonna agree with you there, Eaels Dragons

655
00:30:12,133 --> 00:30:14,013
Speaker 3: don't pick the Eels, Yeah, surely not.

656
00:30:14,293 --> 00:30:16,093
Speaker 4: I mean maybe if Dylan Walker gets a start and

657
00:30:16,093 --> 00:30:18,333
Speaker 4: they play Alright, No, look, I'm gonna go to the

658
00:30:18,373 --> 00:30:18,973
Speaker 4: Earls for Dylan.

659
00:30:19,253 --> 00:30:23,733
Speaker 3: What yeah, your name's Michael Burgess backing the Eels every week.

660
00:30:23,773 --> 00:30:27,733
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to Dragons, Titans, Dolphins, Titans. I can

661
00:30:27,853 --> 00:30:32,813
Speaker 3: agree with that. Titans with a surprise victory over the Roosters.

662
00:30:33,693 --> 00:30:36,373
Speaker 3: The Roosters actually had the ascendency for most of that

663
00:30:36,493 --> 00:30:39,213
Speaker 3: game and then just felter bits in the last quarter,

664
00:30:39,293 --> 00:30:42,173
Speaker 3: conceding four tries. Broncos Tigers.

665
00:30:43,173 --> 00:30:45,813
Speaker 4: Surely the Broncos at home you.

666
00:30:45,973 --> 00:30:47,973
Speaker 3: Might pick for minor premiers this year. I'm just gonna

667
00:30:48,013 --> 00:30:50,693
Speaker 3: keep on saying it and maybe it'll come right the

668
00:30:50,733 --> 00:30:53,973
Speaker 3: house on it. Surely see Eagles versus the Storm stomp.

669
00:30:54,693 --> 00:30:55,413
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna win.

670
00:30:55,413 --> 00:30:58,133
