Let's go BLB. 12 00:00:46,293 --> 00:00:49,773 Speaker 3: On Saturday night against the Broncos, Luke Metcalfe put on 13 00:00:49,933 --> 00:00:55,053 Speaker 3: a supreme display of mental fortitude and tenacity, an underlying 14 00:00:55,133 --> 00:00:59,253 Speaker 3: ability to back himself. Metcalfe had, Let's be honest, a 15 00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:02,133 Speaker 3: shocking night off the tea. You could see the frustration 16 00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:05,453 Speaker 3: in his face when his fourth conversion attempt bounced off 17 00:01:05,493 --> 00:01:09,373 Speaker 3: the upright. His performance overall had been mixed, still major 18 00:01:09,453 --> 00:01:12,813 Speaker 3: questions over the Warriors fifth tackle plays and Metcalf's ability 19 00:01:12,853 --> 00:01:16,533 Speaker 3: to steer them, but to then, in the highest pressure moment, 20 00:01:16,853 --> 00:01:20,173 Speaker 3: demand a shot at the post from fifty meters out 21 00:01:20,373 --> 00:01:23,853 Speaker 3: shows a mental toughness which separates the good from the great. 22 00:01:24,213 --> 00:01:27,973 Speaker 3: Champions have the presence to shake off setbacks and bottle 23 00:01:28,093 --> 00:01:32,413 Speaker 3: upset when it matters most. Michael Burgess, Senior in New 24 00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:35,453 Speaker 3: Zealand Herald, Right up, how did you feel when that 25 00:01:35,573 --> 00:01:38,013 Speaker 3: golden point penalty kick sailed over the post? 26 00:01:38,653 --> 00:01:39,973 Speaker 4: It was pretty amazing, wasn't it. 27 00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:43,613 Speaker 5: I've been lucky to see quite a few memorable occasions 28 00:01:43,613 --> 00:01:45,493 Speaker 5: it mounts made over the years, but that will be 29 00:01:45,573 --> 00:01:47,653 Speaker 5: right up there. That's something you will look back on 30 00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:52,533 Speaker 5: in years to come. The jubilation and the crowd Metcalfs 31 00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:55,653 Speaker 5: brinding off for his celebration. But the other thing is 32 00:01:55,653 --> 00:01:58,173 Speaker 5: how did I feel when they awarded the penalty. 33 00:01:58,213 --> 00:01:58,573 Speaker 4: I was. 34 00:01:58,693 --> 00:02:01,653 Speaker 5: I was one of the guys in the press box saying, really, 35 00:02:01,693 --> 00:02:04,013 Speaker 5: they're going to go for the kicker. I was sort of, 36 00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:06,853 Speaker 5: I have to say, I was shaking my head. I 37 00:02:07,493 --> 00:02:10,093 Speaker 5: was thinking, gee, you kicked for territory, set up for 38 00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:12,213 Speaker 5: the field goal. I couldn't see how he was gonna 39 00:02:13,013 --> 00:02:15,133 Speaker 5: which is to your point, really Nathan's just been talking about, 40 00:02:15,133 --> 00:02:16,813 Speaker 5: I couldn't see how he was going to nail a 41 00:02:16,893 --> 00:02:20,093 Speaker 5: fifty meter kick given how he hadn't been striking the 42 00:02:20,093 --> 00:02:21,853 Speaker 5: ball that cleanly. And that was the point that Adam 43 00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:24,373 Speaker 5: Reynolds made to me after the match. He should have 44 00:02:24,413 --> 00:02:27,813 Speaker 5: said good on Luke because there's a lot of pressure 45 00:02:27,853 --> 00:02:30,213 Speaker 5: on him. He must have been feeling it. He hadn't 46 00:02:30,253 --> 00:02:33,413 Speaker 5: been kicking cleanly. That was Reynolds's words, and he came 47 00:02:33,493 --> 00:02:34,533 Speaker 5: up with the one that mattered. 48 00:02:35,293 --> 00:02:37,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I suppose you know, we spoke to Luke 49 00:02:37,853 --> 00:02:40,533 Speaker 3: earlier this week and I asked him at Mount Smart 50 00:02:40,573 --> 00:02:44,293 Speaker 3: about what he thought about facing Reynolds and he said that, 51 00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:47,293 Speaker 3: you know Reynolds, he thought. He thinks of Reynolds as 52 00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:51,413 Speaker 3: probably the greatest NRL kicker of all time. So to 53 00:02:51,493 --> 00:02:54,133 Speaker 3: them get that praise from him after the match, I'm 54 00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,853 Speaker 3: sure he would have really really appreciated that. But yeah, 55 00:02:57,933 --> 00:03:01,293 Speaker 3: just to be able to shake off that frustration. You 56 00:03:01,293 --> 00:03:03,773 Speaker 3: could see when that conversion bounced off the posts, that 57 00:03:03,893 --> 00:03:07,013 Speaker 3: fourth one, he put his face in his hands and 58 00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:10,093 Speaker 3: he was really frustrated. You know, you're sort of sitting 59 00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:12,653 Speaker 3: there going where he's not having a good night off 60 00:03:12,653 --> 00:03:14,693 Speaker 3: the tee. I didn't I wasn't sure if he was 61 00:03:14,733 --> 00:03:16,933 Speaker 3: going to have the legs to make that fifty minute 62 00:03:16,973 --> 00:03:17,333 Speaker 3: cake but. 63 00:03:17,253 --> 00:03:19,253 Speaker 4: He cleared it easily, cleared it easy. 64 00:03:19,253 --> 00:03:22,373 Speaker 5: I mean that's you know, when you're in the press box, 65 00:03:22,413 --> 00:03:24,413 Speaker 5: it mounts. Mate, you're inside, so you're not aware of 66 00:03:24,453 --> 00:03:28,413 Speaker 5: the wind. And talking to Reynolds later, he said he thought, oh, 67 00:03:28,453 --> 00:03:30,213 Speaker 5: with the wind he'd have the distance was just where 68 00:03:30,213 --> 00:03:32,893 Speaker 5: they have the direction, so it was quite a strong wind. 69 00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:37,253 Speaker 5: But it wasn't just that he'd missed those kicks, because 70 00:03:37,293 --> 00:03:38,653 Speaker 5: to be fair, a few of them were wide out, 71 00:03:38,693 --> 00:03:41,253 Speaker 5: but the one from the Cordo's trail was a bit 72 00:03:41,293 --> 00:03:42,493 Speaker 5: closer and he should have nailed that. 73 00:03:42,893 --> 00:03:44,653 Speaker 4: But it was the cost of missing those kicks. 74 00:03:44,693 --> 00:03:46,693 Speaker 5: You know, if he gets one or two of those kicks, 75 00:03:46,973 --> 00:03:49,613 Speaker 5: they're not in golden point, especially that last one. 76 00:03:49,653 --> 00:03:50,933 Speaker 4: They go to fourteen points ahead. 77 00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:52,853 Speaker 5: I don't think the Bronco has come back with a 78 00:03:52,893 --> 00:03:55,733 Speaker 5: fourteen point margin, but that twelve point margin kept the 79 00:03:55,733 --> 00:03:57,933 Speaker 5: door open they came back, so they would have also 80 00:03:57,973 --> 00:04:00,773 Speaker 5: been on his mind, which adds more to your point about. 81 00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:04,293 Speaker 4: Just the just the cahoonies that he showed to do that. 82 00:04:04,653 --> 00:04:07,693 Speaker 3: We're going to hear from Chanelle Harris ta Vita shortly, 83 00:04:07,693 --> 00:04:12,093 Speaker 3: but firstly, here are the highlights Warriors twenty Broncos eighteen 84 00:04:13,213 --> 00:04:14,053 Speaker 3: game is under. 85 00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:16,613 Speaker 5: Play here with Chris Bito, the repericulous game Casey Betcher 86 00:04:17,053 --> 00:04:18,613 Speaker 5: put Willison on his backside. 87 00:04:18,653 --> 00:04:22,613 Speaker 4: Now here's a little damper and walters he's through for 88 00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:32,173 Speaker 4: a simple sife Halaceba.

What are the emotions like after 109 00:05:43,453 --> 00:05:46,693 Speaker 4: a night like that. Yeah, crowd a bit of a 110 00:05:46,733 --> 00:05:47,653 Speaker 4: relief as well. 111 00:05:48,573 --> 00:05:52,613 Speaker 7: Upcompor trise not long ago and let him in a 112 00:05:52,653 --> 00:05:54,213 Speaker 7: couple of times and they opened it up. 113 00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:56,773 Speaker 8: And yes, happily we're closing out because as you say, 114 00:05:56,853 --> 00:05:59,453 Speaker 8: eighteen six up with fifteen minutes ago, you think, oh, 115 00:06:00,173 --> 00:06:03,373 Speaker 8: we're looking really good here, almost home, and then somehow 116 00:06:03,413 --> 00:06:05,093 Speaker 8: they find a way back. Yeah. 117 00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:09,693 Speaker 7: I think lapses of concentration throughout the game. 118 00:06:09,853 --> 00:06:13,533 Speaker 4: I think there's a bit of a better an improvement improvement. 119 00:06:13,173 --> 00:06:16,293 Speaker 7: For us, But I think we had each other's backs 120 00:06:16,333 --> 00:06:17,013 Speaker 7: with Scrambler. 121 00:06:17,653 --> 00:06:19,653 Speaker 4: Our defense was a lot better than last week. 122 00:06:19,773 --> 00:06:21,453 Speaker 8: So I think that's what got us say. 123 00:06:21,693 --> 00:06:23,653 Speaker 4: What does a result like this mean for this team? 124 00:06:23,733 --> 00:06:27,173 Speaker 4: You know it's sort of still a new team, new spying. 125 00:06:27,573 --> 00:06:28,973 Speaker 4: What does this mean this kind of result? 126 00:06:30,133 --> 00:06:32,813 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it just shows us how like our 127 00:06:32,813 --> 00:06:37,373 Speaker 7: attack wasn't wasn't perfect, But I think we can still 128 00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:41,093 Speaker 7: win games with our defense, and there's something we missed 129 00:06:41,173 --> 00:06:43,293 Speaker 7: last week. And you have a quality side like Melbourne 130 00:06:43,813 --> 00:06:46,573 Speaker 7: too much more and they're gonna they're gonna run away 131 00:06:46,613 --> 00:06:46,733 Speaker 7: with it. 132 00:06:48,213 --> 00:06:49,893 Speaker 4: Yeah, just getting back to tackling with it. 133 00:06:50,693 --> 00:06:53,973 Speaker 7: Come into the game with a defensive mindset, press and 134 00:06:54,853 --> 00:06:57,893 Speaker 7: continue to continuing to improve an an attack. 135 00:06:58,413 --> 00:07:01,013 Speaker 5: You look pretty intense as well. The conditions. You know 136 00:07:01,573 --> 00:07:04,813 Speaker 5: your way, boy, teams win at each other. Yeah, there, 137 00:07:05,693 --> 00:07:07,013 Speaker 5: they are a solid team prompts. 138 00:07:07,053 --> 00:07:09,853 Speaker 7: They got got some speed on the edges, and they 139 00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:12,893 Speaker 7: got big Patrick Carrigan and Paying Harshley in the way 140 00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,133 Speaker 7: in the middle. So yeah, I thought I thought it 141 00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:17,173 Speaker 7: was a good while to go after them. Gave us 142 00:07:17,453 --> 00:07:19,933 Speaker 7: some good kill position and some good looks early in 143 00:07:19,973 --> 00:07:23,413 Speaker 7: the game.

That's 214 00:10:40,493 --> 00:10:42,653 Speaker 7: the main thing is staying on the field. Trying to 215 00:10:42,693 --> 00:10:45,173 Speaker 7: stay on the field and string some games games together 216 00:10:45,253 --> 00:10:52,133 Speaker 7: and build confidence, get better every week, and yeah, do 217 00:10:52,573 --> 00:10:55,373 Speaker 7: my job really and yeah it's pretty I love a 218 00:10:55,413 --> 00:10:56,653 Speaker 7: pretty simple life off the field. 219 00:10:57,533 --> 00:11:01,093 Speaker 4: Try and keep a simple on the field as well.

And 223 00:11:09,053 --> 00:11:11,453 Speaker 5: just how did you all do that to go a 224 00:11:11,533 --> 00:11:15,613 Speaker 5: bit tonight with just a completely new focus and swots 225 00:11:15,653 --> 00:11:16,133 Speaker 5: back into it. 226 00:11:16,693 --> 00:11:18,213 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it started out training. 227 00:11:18,733 --> 00:11:23,453 Speaker 7: We we didn't have we had a short turnaround two, 228 00:11:23,493 --> 00:11:25,693 Speaker 7: didn't have lungs, but we really wanted to nail our 229 00:11:26,093 --> 00:11:30,893 Speaker 7: one training we had and focus on difference. We we 230 00:11:31,013 --> 00:11:33,573 Speaker 7: didn't want to tackle last week and we had put 231 00:11:33,613 --> 00:11:34,893 Speaker 7: forty odd points short. 232 00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:35,173 Speaker 3: Ons and. 233 00:11:36,853 --> 00:11:38,253 Speaker 7: We wanted to tackle this week. 234 00:11:38,453 --> 00:11:39,373 Speaker 4: So we tackled. 235 00:11:40,173 --> 00:11:42,093 Speaker 5: And it's a pretty cool way now to look forward 236 00:11:42,093 --> 00:11:44,453 Speaker 5: to going down to christ to sell our crowd. I 237 00:11:44,533 --> 00:11:46,533 Speaker 5: mean that'll be hell of an occasion. Oh yeah, So 238 00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:48,533 Speaker 5: now there's some real momentum, isn't it. 239 00:11:49,093 --> 00:11:51,733 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's cliche as it sounds. 240 00:11:51,733 --> 00:11:54,293 Speaker 7: It's one game at a time, but you take take 241 00:11:54,373 --> 00:11:56,613 Speaker 7: confidence from that game, take. 242 00:11:56,493 --> 00:12:00,693 Speaker 4: The lessons as well, and yeah, keep moving forward. 243 00:12:00,733 --> 00:12:03,573 Speaker 2: I guess this is the big league podcast. 244 00:12:06,253 --> 00:12:10,093 Speaker 1: This is how Yeah, a big league podcast on the 245 00:12:10,173 --> 00:12:11,333 Speaker 1: Warriors Bad Wagons. 246 00:12:11,413 --> 00:12:12,133 Speaker 2: It's day one. 247 00:12:12,373 --> 00:12:16,253 Speaker 3: Really good to hear from Chanelle after that game. Let's 248 00:12:16,333 --> 00:12:19,013 Speaker 3: go through it in a little bit more detailed Burge. 249 00:12:19,053 --> 00:12:21,973 Speaker 3: First of all, Warriors coach Andrew Webster with his thoughts. 250 00:12:22,053 --> 00:12:24,173 Speaker 3: He thought that overall they were the better team on 251 00:12:24,253 --> 00:12:24,493 Speaker 3: the night. 252 00:12:24,613 --> 00:12:28,133 Speaker 7: We deserved more, matter hard, but I was really proud 253 00:12:28,173 --> 00:12:30,413 Speaker 7: and I we didn't drop our bundle three or four times. 254 00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:32,573 Speaker 7: You could have thrown the town in, but we kept 255 00:12:32,613 --> 00:12:34,573 Speaker 7: finding away and that's what we've been talking about. 256 00:12:35,213 --> 00:12:37,653 Speaker 3: Came to tackle tonight, let's start by talking a little 257 00:12:37,693 --> 00:12:41,613 Speaker 3: bit more about Metcalf. Obviously we talked about that kick again. 258 00:12:41,653 --> 00:12:43,693 Speaker 3: We're going to go over these concerns around the fifth 259 00:12:43,813 --> 00:12:45,893 Speaker 3: tackle plays. But I noticed in the second half once 260 00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:48,413 Speaker 3: Metcalf started to kick the ball particularly there was a 261 00:12:48,413 --> 00:12:50,573 Speaker 3: grubber straight into the end goal which the Broncos were 262 00:12:50,613 --> 00:12:53,653 Speaker 3: forced to knock dead. I was thinking, more, please, more 263 00:12:53,693 --> 00:12:56,613 Speaker 3: of that his forty twenty, which was a big turning 264 00:12:56,893 --> 00:12:59,973 Speaker 3: or really put the Warriors in prime attacking position. A 265 00:13:00,093 --> 00:13:02,453 Speaker 3: spiral bomb that he put up which reaped havoc with 266 00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:06,133 Speaker 3: the Broncos and unluckily it bounced dead. But those are 267 00:13:06,173 --> 00:13:09,173 Speaker 3: the attacking threats that Metcalf's starting to show with the boot. 268 00:13:09,933 --> 00:13:13,013 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got Look, he's he's at number seven because 269 00:13:13,053 --> 00:13:15,813 Speaker 5: he's partly because he's got the best kicking game. You know, 270 00:13:15,893 --> 00:13:18,093 Speaker 5: he's got the biggest kick obviously at the club. So 271 00:13:18,213 --> 00:13:21,173 Speaker 5: that's part of the reason why he's there. The question 272 00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:25,653 Speaker 5: is still around his organizing role, in his playmaking ability 273 00:13:25,693 --> 00:13:28,173 Speaker 5: and where's that going to come, because that's that's what 274 00:13:28,293 --> 00:13:31,173 Speaker 5: we still haven't seen that much of. You know, it 275 00:13:31,253 --> 00:13:32,853 Speaker 5: was a bit clunky at times, wasn't it. They had 276 00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,973 Speaker 5: a lot of ball in the Broncos twenty two the Warriors, 277 00:13:36,053 --> 00:13:39,653 Speaker 5: So that is the next step for him, for the 278 00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:42,893 Speaker 5: spine in general, for the halves. And it's funny how 279 00:13:43,133 --> 00:13:45,653 Speaker 5: this last kick you've forgotten a bit about that. But 280 00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,413 Speaker 5: but yeah, overall, I think we all need to remind 281 00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:53,013 Speaker 5: ourselves he's only played six games at number seven. We 282 00:13:53,173 --> 00:13:54,853 Speaker 5: do need to keep that in mind, and I think 283 00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:57,733 Speaker 5: we will judge him a bit later in the season. 284 00:13:57,813 --> 00:14:01,693 Speaker 5: But what I like the most is his involvement and 285 00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:04,853 Speaker 5: his confidence. No matter what happens in a match, he 286 00:14:04,973 --> 00:14:08,893 Speaker 5: is confident and just on that fifty penalty to win it. 287 00:14:09,053 --> 00:14:12,933 Speaker 5: This is what skipper Mitch Barnett said about it afterwards. 288 00:14:12,973 --> 00:14:16,053 Speaker 5: He says, Metcalf's confidence is what will make him great. 289 00:14:16,173 --> 00:14:17,493 Speaker 4: Cars don't get it right all the time. 290 00:14:18,173 --> 00:14:19,813 Speaker 3: He's goal kicking, you know, he's missing a couple of 291 00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:22,293 Speaker 3: ones that he thinks he will get, you know, should 292 00:14:22,293 --> 00:14:22,533 Speaker 3: have got. 293 00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,693 Speaker 4: But as soon as that boy went dead, he ran 294 00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:27,053 Speaker 4: straight over to me and he wanted that moment and 295 00:14:27,573 --> 00:14:27,933 Speaker 4: he took it. 296 00:14:29,053 --> 00:14:31,693 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was interesting talking to Metcalf after the game 297 00:14:31,733 --> 00:14:34,333 Speaker 5: and I just asked him, you know, surely you were 298 00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,133 Speaker 5: nervous though, was so much on the line and the 299 00:14:36,213 --> 00:14:40,493 Speaker 5: fact that you'd had the big lead Broncos had come back. 300 00:14:40,773 --> 00:14:42,893 Speaker 5: He's thinking, and your oh, we've blown this a bit. 301 00:14:43,293 --> 00:14:45,013 Speaker 5: Surely you were nervous stepping up for the kick, and 302 00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:47,653 Speaker 5: he said, and the way your ant said you had 303 00:14:47,693 --> 00:14:50,333 Speaker 5: to believe him. He said, not really. I was excited. 304 00:14:50,893 --> 00:14:53,373 Speaker 5: This was the moment you dream about. This is what 305 00:14:53,533 --> 00:14:56,053 Speaker 5: you dream about when you're a kid down in the park. 306 00:14:56,653 --> 00:14:58,893 Speaker 5: And he also said, I've talked about this sort of 307 00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:01,613 Speaker 5: thing with Sean Johnson so much, and Sean used to 308 00:15:01,693 --> 00:15:04,653 Speaker 5: tell me about what it was like having a game 309 00:15:04,693 --> 00:15:06,773 Speaker 5: on the line and a kicker a field goal, and 310 00:15:06,853 --> 00:15:09,333 Speaker 5: he said, I'm looking forward so much having one of those, 311 00:15:09,973 --> 00:15:11,693 Speaker 5: and finally I got one. I got the chance to 312 00:15:11,773 --> 00:15:14,573 Speaker 5: experience it. So I really like that mindset. 313 00:15:15,773 --> 00:15:16,653 Speaker 4: And let's not forget. 314 00:15:16,693 --> 00:15:18,933 Speaker 3: He scored a try as well, thanks to a Kurt 315 00:15:19,053 --> 00:15:25,013 Speaker 3: Capewell cameo down the wing forty meters broke free Andrew Ribslee. 316 00:15:24,693 --> 00:15:27,613 Speaker 4: He's stunned by Kirk cape Whale's pace. He looked, lying, 317 00:15:28,373 --> 00:15:30,773 Speaker 4: he's getting that fast. As you get older, you come 318 00:15:30,853 --> 00:15:32,893 Speaker 4: in He's going to end up on the wing or 319 00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:34,413 Speaker 4: if he keeps going that fast. 320 00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:38,013 Speaker 3: A lot of people questioning him moving to the centers 321 00:15:38,373 --> 00:15:39,813 Speaker 3: from the second row for this game. 322 00:15:39,853 --> 00:15:41,733 Speaker 5: How do you think he went? He were well, he 323 00:15:41,813 --> 00:15:44,733 Speaker 5: was defensively solid. I mean, he he had a couple 324 00:15:44,813 --> 00:15:48,693 Speaker 5: of decent runs. I mean, he's a pretty amazing guy. 325 00:15:49,293 --> 00:15:52,373 Speaker 9: But that he took a chance, I mean going for 326 00:15:52,453 --> 00:15:54,373 Speaker 9: the corner, it was pretty obviously more I was sitting 327 00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:56,813 Speaker 9: that he wasn't going to make it, and so if 328 00:15:56,853 --> 00:15:58,613 Speaker 9: that pass didn't come off, it was it was an 329 00:15:58,613 --> 00:16:00,973 Speaker 9: amazing pass, But then it was an amazing. 330 00:16:00,533 --> 00:16:01,413 Speaker 4: Take by Metcalf. 331 00:16:02,253 --> 00:16:04,933 Speaker 5: If that didn't come off, he'd be getting criticized for 332 00:16:05,053 --> 00:16:07,533 Speaker 5: not setting Metcalf up. But I know what he was 333 00:16:07,573 --> 00:16:10,653 Speaker 5: trying to do because Walsh was very clear he was 334 00:16:10,693 --> 00:16:12,973 Speaker 5: sort of shadowing Messcalf, so the pass wasn't that clear 335 00:16:13,493 --> 00:16:17,653 Speaker 5: straight away. But in fact, the moment when he was like, 336 00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:19,893 Speaker 5: I'm going for the corner and he went to go 337 00:16:20,013 --> 00:16:22,533 Speaker 5: from sort of third get to fifth gear and I thought, 338 00:16:22,893 --> 00:16:24,973 Speaker 5: there's still too far to go there, Kurt. 339 00:16:25,093 --> 00:16:26,013 Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean. 340 00:16:27,933 --> 00:16:31,773 Speaker 3: Metcalf was just jogging to keep up with the same 341 00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:34,453 Speaker 3: pace as Cape Well sprinting. 342 00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:37,053 Speaker 5: Metcalf joke though, he said, yeah, that past really tested me, 343 00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:38,533 Speaker 5: he tested my hamstrings. 344 00:16:38,573 --> 00:16:41,133 Speaker 4: He's leaning down so far at full pace to catch it. 345 00:16:42,613 --> 00:16:45,133 Speaker 5: But Metcalff made a good point about Cape Well, was 346 00:16:45,253 --> 00:16:48,293 Speaker 5: just that he's a pure footy player and he can 347 00:16:48,373 --> 00:16:51,693 Speaker 5: sort of he's that smart. He can fit into any position, 348 00:16:51,973 --> 00:16:55,173 Speaker 5: you know, and do a job. And that's what they 349 00:16:55,293 --> 00:16:59,133 Speaker 5: really needed him on Saturday with so many because that's 350 00:16:59,173 --> 00:17:02,133 Speaker 5: what we're probably going to get to such a makeshift lineup, 351 00:17:02,453 --> 00:17:04,653 Speaker 5: a lot of younger players on the field. They needed 352 00:17:04,693 --> 00:17:06,813 Speaker 5: someone like him just to be solid where he was 353 00:17:07,133 --> 00:17:09,813 Speaker 5: and he certainly certainly did that right. 354 00:17:09,893 --> 00:17:13,453 Speaker 3: Let's talk about these fifth tackle plays, which have been 355 00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:17,293 Speaker 3: an issue the whole season for the Warriors new harves combination. 356 00:17:17,493 --> 00:17:19,373 Speaker 3: We know it's going to take time, we know they're growing. 357 00:17:20,093 --> 00:17:24,253 Speaker 3: In that first half, repeated set restarts, even a penalty 358 00:17:24,893 --> 00:17:28,613 Speaker 3: on the Broncos line, the Warriors with sustained pressure inside 359 00:17:28,653 --> 00:17:32,853 Speaker 3: the Broncos twenty, and they just didn't look like they 360 00:17:32,933 --> 00:17:35,613 Speaker 3: had any ideas on attack. It was a bit side 361 00:17:35,653 --> 00:17:37,613 Speaker 3: to side one off runners. It looked like they were 362 00:17:37,653 --> 00:17:41,373 Speaker 3: deciding what they were doing when they got the ball 363 00:17:41,413 --> 00:17:43,893 Speaker 3: in their hands. Am I being too harsh here? But 364 00:17:43,933 --> 00:17:46,453 Speaker 3: they didn't They didn't manage to break through despite all 365 00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:47,173 Speaker 3: of that pressure. 366 00:17:48,013 --> 00:17:49,893 Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't help a couple of times when Jackson 367 00:17:49,933 --> 00:17:52,173 Speaker 5: Ford got stuck as sort of first or second receiver. 368 00:17:52,653 --> 00:17:55,453 Speaker 4: But Metcalf alluded to this as well. 369 00:17:55,493 --> 00:17:58,533 Speaker 5: He said that they weren't great in that first period 370 00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:00,293 Speaker 5: of attack because I think you're right, they had a 371 00:18:00,373 --> 00:18:01,333 Speaker 5: lot of repeat sets. 372 00:18:02,173 --> 00:18:03,933 Speaker 4: Then they did a whole period of defense. I think 373 00:18:03,933 --> 00:18:05,173 Speaker 4: a confidence and that went back. 374 00:18:05,973 --> 00:18:07,893 Speaker 5: I think to me, the main thing you can see 375 00:18:07,933 --> 00:18:11,093 Speaker 5: that's is that teams are rushing up on the outside. 376 00:18:11,133 --> 00:18:13,453 Speaker 5: They're doing that up and in defense instead of sliding, 377 00:18:14,133 --> 00:18:17,613 Speaker 5: and they're doing it because they don't feel threatened by 378 00:18:17,653 --> 00:18:20,413 Speaker 5: the warriors' ability to get them on the outside. 379 00:18:20,413 --> 00:18:22,773 Speaker 4: They don't feel threatened by you know, one of those 380 00:18:23,253 --> 00:18:24,373 Speaker 4: passes over the top of that. 381 00:18:24,533 --> 00:18:26,573 Speaker 5: So they're coming up and in so by the time 382 00:18:26,693 --> 00:18:29,053 Speaker 5: the ball goes through two or three sets of hands, 383 00:18:29,573 --> 00:18:30,813 Speaker 5: the defenders are right on them. 384 00:18:31,453 --> 00:18:34,533 Speaker 4: So that's where that to me, is the major work on. 385 00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,453 Speaker 5: They've got to find a way to make the defenders 386 00:18:36,493 --> 00:18:39,733 Speaker 5: hesitate and force them to do slide and defense because 387 00:18:39,733 --> 00:18:42,293 Speaker 5: when they're sliding there's much more options and there does 388 00:18:42,373 --> 00:18:44,813 Speaker 5: seem to be a lack of you know, the inside 389 00:18:44,853 --> 00:18:46,933 Speaker 5: balls and all those other things we see from other teams, 390 00:18:46,973 --> 00:18:50,013 Speaker 5: a change of directions, so it is a bit predictable, 391 00:18:52,093 --> 00:18:54,893 Speaker 5: as are some of their fittacal plays where they because 392 00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:55,973 Speaker 5: the attacks are a bit predictable. 393 00:18:55,973 --> 00:18:57,373 Speaker 4: And then the fittagal players where. 394 00:18:57,213 --> 00:19:00,853 Speaker 5: They'll run to the line and but put the grubber 395 00:19:00,893 --> 00:19:02,573 Speaker 5: in and they're too close to the fender so it 396 00:19:02,653 --> 00:19:05,333 Speaker 5: bounces off sins or something, or the kickers just a 397 00:19:05,373 --> 00:19:06,093 Speaker 5: bit more of a chip. 398 00:19:06,213 --> 00:19:08,253 Speaker 4: So I don't know. 399 00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:10,613 Speaker 5: I think we've all got to be patient. And that's 400 00:19:10,613 --> 00:19:13,293 Speaker 5: what Webster keeps emphasizing. He's not that he's not that 401 00:19:13,453 --> 00:19:15,973 Speaker 5: thrilled with the attack, but shit, he's really happy with 402 00:19:16,013 --> 00:19:17,013 Speaker 5: the defense, you know. 403 00:19:17,933 --> 00:19:20,813 Speaker 3: And there was some major, big, big one off tackles. 404 00:19:21,053 --> 00:19:23,653 Speaker 3: Think of Chanelle, Harris, Devita's and On Reynolds. In the 405 00:19:23,973 --> 00:19:24,533 Speaker 3: first half. 406 00:19:24,613 --> 00:19:27,333 Speaker 4: On On Renalds big shot really got the crowd into it. 407 00:19:27,413 --> 00:19:28,413 Speaker 4: There was a couple of those. 408 00:19:28,813 --> 00:19:30,853 Speaker 5: Well it was nice. I mean that, as Chanell mentioned 409 00:19:30,893 --> 00:19:35,693 Speaker 5: in our chat, he said that that actually been studying 410 00:19:35,733 --> 00:19:37,933 Speaker 5: Reynolds during the week and studying how he moves, and 411 00:19:38,013 --> 00:19:40,373 Speaker 5: they knew there was a chance to get him with 412 00:19:40,453 --> 00:19:42,613 Speaker 5: one of those and really rattle them, so I think 413 00:19:42,653 --> 00:19:44,813 Speaker 5: they were. 414 00:19:43,813 --> 00:19:44,613 Speaker 4: Pretty happy with that. 415 00:19:45,093 --> 00:19:48,013 Speaker 5: I mean, defense is why the Warriors are where they are, 416 00:19:48,173 --> 00:19:50,893 Speaker 5: really like, their attack hasn't been sparkling this year. 417 00:19:50,933 --> 00:19:52,773 Speaker 4: It's been okay, And you're right what you said before. 418 00:19:52,813 --> 00:19:55,773 Speaker 5: If you look at their tries from Saturday night, there 419 00:19:55,853 --> 00:19:59,853 Speaker 5: was a Taine's half vollied kick after Bunnett's pass goes 420 00:19:59,893 --> 00:20:01,973 Speaker 5: to ground. There was the Broncos dropping the ball on 421 00:20:02,053 --> 00:20:06,613 Speaker 5: halfway and and Capble sprints away. So and then Harris 422 00:20:06,653 --> 00:20:11,133 Speaker 5: Davida setting up Cordate so opportunistic, you'd have to say. 423 00:20:11,213 --> 00:20:14,213 Speaker 5: But the defense, the defense in the manly game, the 424 00:20:14,333 --> 00:20:18,493 Speaker 5: Rooster's game, the Tigers game, the defense is doing the job. 425 00:20:18,573 --> 00:20:19,053 Speaker 4: They look so. 426 00:20:20,733 --> 00:20:24,253 Speaker 5: So connected and they just keep turning up for each other, 427 00:20:24,293 --> 00:20:26,213 Speaker 5: which is what we didn't see last season. 428 00:20:26,253 --> 00:20:27,853 Speaker 4: I mean, let's face it, Nathan. 429 00:20:27,933 --> 00:20:32,293 Speaker 5: They're four and two after six games. Who was predicting that? 430 00:20:32,653 --> 00:20:33,573 Speaker 5: After Las Vegas. 431 00:20:34,613 --> 00:20:37,093 Speaker 3: Let's shift focus to a couple of other players who 432 00:20:37,453 --> 00:20:42,013 Speaker 3: stood out from that Broncos game. Taine to Opeki's speed 433 00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:44,773 Speaker 3: on display in the lead up to liquor Halla, Seema's 434 00:20:44,813 --> 00:20:49,013 Speaker 3: try Hala Sema showing pace and power. Let's talk about 435 00:20:49,053 --> 00:20:51,893 Speaker 3: both those players but firstly, Tane does he look better 436 00:20:52,013 --> 00:20:54,373 Speaker 3: at fullback than Chance has so far this year? Because 437 00:20:54,413 --> 00:20:58,093 Speaker 3: to me he looked much more threatening with ball at hand, 438 00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:00,053 Speaker 3: and I definitely like him a lot better at fullback 439 00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:00,693 Speaker 3: than I do in the wing. 440 00:21:01,413 --> 00:21:04,693 Speaker 5: I mean, I mean he struggled against Melbourne obviously at fullback, 441 00:21:04,733 --> 00:21:05,933 Speaker 5: but everyone did that day. 442 00:21:06,413 --> 00:21:07,093 Speaker 4: He was really good. 443 00:21:07,133 --> 00:21:10,813 Speaker 5: I think Taane's certain types of opposition and certain types 444 00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:13,133 Speaker 5: of games, but he's been pretty good on the wing too, 445 00:21:13,213 --> 00:21:15,533 Speaker 5: to be fair, I thought, considering he's never played there. 446 00:21:16,333 --> 00:21:18,293 Speaker 5: To me, this is one of the questions of the week. 447 00:21:18,453 --> 00:21:21,213 Speaker 5: You know, what does Andrew Webs to do for the 448 00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:24,653 Speaker 5: night's game, because I think in theory Chants could play 449 00:21:24,773 --> 00:21:28,693 Speaker 5: with the concussion protocols of that stay twelve. He's okay 450 00:21:28,853 --> 00:21:32,373 Speaker 5: by Friday, But to me it's a no brainer. You 451 00:21:32,613 --> 00:21:34,533 Speaker 5: I don't know what you think, but you give Chance 452 00:21:34,933 --> 00:21:37,733 Speaker 5: another week off. You say, look, just get yourself right, 453 00:21:37,813 --> 00:21:39,773 Speaker 5: get your head right, get your body right, freshen up, 454 00:21:40,453 --> 00:21:43,253 Speaker 5: and you give Tane another chance. You say, Tane, you 455 00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:46,493 Speaker 5: did so well, we're putting you back out there rather 456 00:21:46,573 --> 00:21:50,813 Speaker 5: than rushing Chance back in for a game like this, 457 00:21:51,053 --> 00:21:53,693 Speaker 5: especially a game where you think, hey, this is you know, 458 00:21:53,773 --> 00:21:55,013 Speaker 5: they're going to be favorites as well. 459 00:21:55,773 --> 00:21:59,053 Speaker 4: But yeah, the longer term question is going to be 460 00:21:59,053 --> 00:21:59,613 Speaker 4: really interesting. 461 00:22:01,053 --> 00:22:03,773 Speaker 3: Lecky Hallaesima needs to have his hands on the ball 462 00:22:04,533 --> 00:22:05,973 Speaker 3: as much as possible. 463 00:22:06,093 --> 00:22:11,493 Speaker 4: Would you start him again cap well in the centers? No, 464 00:22:11,693 --> 00:22:14,973 Speaker 4: I don't think I would. I think that's sort of 465 00:22:15,053 --> 00:22:18,733 Speaker 4: a you don't want to you know this anything, You 466 00:22:18,733 --> 00:22:20,293 Speaker 4: don't want to push your luck. You know you can. 467 00:22:20,893 --> 00:22:22,853 Speaker 5: You can push your luck on a Saturday night sometimes, 468 00:22:22,933 --> 00:22:24,453 Speaker 5: but not every Saturday night, if. 469 00:22:24,373 --> 00:22:28,853 Speaker 4: You know what I mean. Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 470 00:22:29,013 --> 00:22:30,453 Speaker 4: let's yeah, let's not expand on that. 471 00:22:30,573 --> 00:22:37,453 Speaker 5: But so I think if if Rockerberry's available and they've 472 00:22:37,453 --> 00:22:41,573 Speaker 5: got the sort of specialists available, you go back to 473 00:22:41,733 --> 00:22:44,173 Speaker 5: your specialist team because what I don't want them to 474 00:22:44,253 --> 00:22:49,653 Speaker 5: do is overdo it with Leka. But yeah, there's increasing 475 00:22:49,773 --> 00:22:51,693 Speaker 5: signs that he's more and more ready, isn't he? I 476 00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:54,533 Speaker 5: mean I think he played what did he play? Sixty 477 00:22:54,613 --> 00:22:57,373 Speaker 5: five sixty nine minutes on Saturday. It's a big stint 478 00:22:57,413 --> 00:23:02,173 Speaker 5: against a big pack, and you know he doesn't look 479 00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:03,293 Speaker 5: out of place at all, doesn't he? 480 00:23:03,973 --> 00:23:07,773 Speaker 3: Big League Podcast right, The Warriors face the Newcastle Knights 481 00:23:07,853 --> 00:23:11,533 Speaker 3: on front in christ The Knights are on a four 482 00:23:12,013 --> 00:23:15,013 Speaker 3: game losing streak, going down at home thirty four to 483 00:23:15,173 --> 00:23:17,893 Speaker 3: fourteen to the Sharks in the round just gone. They 484 00:23:17,933 --> 00:23:21,493 Speaker 3: are the lowest scoring team this season, just sixty points 485 00:23:21,773 --> 00:23:25,973 Speaker 3: while conceding one hundred and twenty. Across those last four losses, 486 00:23:26,053 --> 00:23:30,253 Speaker 3: they've only scored twenty four. But they are not a 487 00:23:30,293 --> 00:23:33,653 Speaker 3: team that likes scoring anyway. Last year they had the 488 00:23:33,733 --> 00:23:36,893 Speaker 3: second lowest points in the competition but still qualified for 489 00:23:36,933 --> 00:23:41,893 Speaker 3: the finals somehow. And they've just been riddled with errors 490 00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:44,453 Speaker 3: through their games so far. They've got five forwards out 491 00:23:44,493 --> 00:23:46,453 Speaker 3: with injury, but is that really an excuse. Who doesn't 492 00:23:46,493 --> 00:23:48,733 Speaker 3: have that many players out of injury. 493 00:23:50,213 --> 00:23:52,653 Speaker 4: Oh it's pretty tough though. Just NRL's crawl like that. 494 00:23:52,733 --> 00:23:55,413 Speaker 5: I feel like the NRL, the worst your form is 495 00:23:55,453 --> 00:23:56,933 Speaker 5: the worst you're going with in terms of your form, 496 00:23:57,013 --> 00:23:58,573 Speaker 5: the more chance you're going to have more injuries. 497 00:23:58,613 --> 00:24:00,293 Speaker 4: It just seems to work like that. And the team's 498 00:24:00,373 --> 00:24:01,613 Speaker 4: near the top have less injury. 499 00:24:01,693 --> 00:24:04,733 Speaker 5: So the most concerning thing to me about Newcastle I 500 00:24:04,853 --> 00:24:07,333 Speaker 5: was a Newcastle fan, is the way they've been going 501 00:24:07,373 --> 00:24:07,693 Speaker 5: at home. 502 00:24:08,453 --> 00:24:10,773 Speaker 4: It has always been a fortress to go there. I 503 00:24:10,893 --> 00:24:12,413 Speaker 4: talk to Warriors players of the past. 504 00:24:12,453 --> 00:24:14,213 Speaker 5: So like, that's one of the hardest places to go 505 00:24:14,293 --> 00:24:17,093 Speaker 5: and play Newcastle because the fans are just they get on, 506 00:24:17,133 --> 00:24:20,173 Speaker 5: the referees back the whole game. The players are, you know, 507 00:24:20,613 --> 00:24:23,853 Speaker 5: really up for the occasion. The fact they've been just 508 00:24:23,933 --> 00:24:26,213 Speaker 5: getting done at home is incredible. So I think they've 509 00:24:26,253 --> 00:24:27,813 Speaker 5: got they've got real problems. 510 00:24:27,853 --> 00:24:27,973 Speaker 3: You know. 511 00:24:28,053 --> 00:24:30,693 Speaker 5: I don't want to preempt this big magical bounce back 512 00:24:30,733 --> 00:24:32,293 Speaker 5: in christ Church, but yeah, you think. 513 00:24:34,053 --> 00:24:35,573 Speaker 4: It's not going to be an easy game for them. 514 00:24:35,573 --> 00:24:37,773 Speaker 5: I would have thought coming down playing in the christ 515 00:24:37,853 --> 00:24:39,573 Speaker 5: Church against the fight up Warriors in front of a 516 00:24:39,693 --> 00:24:40,373 Speaker 5: sell out crowd. 517 00:24:40,853 --> 00:24:44,053 Speaker 4: Klem Ponger, is he? Like, what is going on? 518 00:24:44,173 --> 00:24:47,013 Speaker 3: There's so many rumors around Kaylum Ponger. Oh he's going 519 00:24:47,093 --> 00:24:48,613 Speaker 3: to play for the Keys? Is he going to do 520 00:24:48,693 --> 00:24:51,333 Speaker 3: State of Origin? Is he leaving the Knights? What's actually 521 00:24:51,453 --> 00:24:51,693 Speaker 3: going on? 522 00:24:53,213 --> 00:24:54,773 Speaker 5: All I can tell you is I've spoken to people 523 00:24:54,813 --> 00:24:56,653 Speaker 5: pretty close to the Warriors that so they haven't had 524 00:24:56,693 --> 00:25:00,853 Speaker 5: any conversations with him or a player of that caliber. 525 00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:03,693 Speaker 5: You know, it's not something that because they can't they 526 00:25:03,773 --> 00:25:06,933 Speaker 5: can't until no one can until what he is in 527 00:25:07,013 --> 00:25:09,133 Speaker 5: contract till the end of twenty So no one can 528 00:25:09,173 --> 00:25:13,693 Speaker 5: speak to him until November November twenty sixth. Anyway, I 529 00:25:13,773 --> 00:25:16,333 Speaker 5: don't think the Knights would grant him an early release, 530 00:25:16,693 --> 00:25:18,973 Speaker 5: but also know he's not going to be happy getting 531 00:25:19,013 --> 00:25:22,493 Speaker 5: smashed all season, so his position puts more pressure on 532 00:25:22,533 --> 00:25:23,773 Speaker 5: the coach, et cetera, et cetera. 533 00:25:24,853 --> 00:25:26,253 Speaker 4: He's been pretty lord in Newcastle. 534 00:25:26,373 --> 00:25:29,253 Speaker 5: So it's quite sad, isn't it, Because he's the kind 535 00:25:29,293 --> 00:25:31,973 Speaker 5: of player you want to see in a team doing well. 536 00:25:32,093 --> 00:25:33,133 Speaker 4: He's just that good. 537 00:25:33,293 --> 00:25:36,133 Speaker 5: He's the player that you turn on the TV to watch, 538 00:25:36,733 --> 00:25:42,613 Speaker 5: a genuine superstar, love watching him play, and he's in 539 00:25:42,693 --> 00:25:44,693 Speaker 5: a team that's going backwards all the time far out. 540 00:25:45,173 --> 00:25:46,853 Speaker 5: But the other question for me around the Knights game 541 00:25:46,893 --> 00:25:49,333 Speaker 5: and what happens on Friday is the composition of this 542 00:25:49,933 --> 00:25:54,173 Speaker 5: forward pack and just the rotation, because it still seems 543 00:25:54,173 --> 00:25:56,773 Speaker 5: a bit strange that bunti Alfoa. Since he's come back 544 00:25:57,053 --> 00:25:59,413 Speaker 5: to me, he's looked quite good. He told us you 545 00:25:59,493 --> 00:26:02,253 Speaker 5: were there, Nathan. He told us he feels he's kind 546 00:26:02,293 --> 00:26:03,853 Speaker 5: of got a point to prove. Obviously a lot of 547 00:26:03,893 --> 00:26:07,453 Speaker 5: competition for spots in that pack. Look quite good against 548 00:26:07,453 --> 00:26:09,973 Speaker 5: the Storm. I thought he got eighteen minutes on Saturday 549 00:26:10,013 --> 00:26:14,333 Speaker 5: which is okay, but I think Jackson Ford got almost 550 00:26:14,413 --> 00:26:17,173 Speaker 5: seventy and Ford has got an incredible engine. I know 551 00:26:17,253 --> 00:26:19,293 Speaker 5: Webbs has got a lot of faith in him, but 552 00:26:19,813 --> 00:26:22,813 Speaker 5: the balance there, I'm not sure about. Bunty's a big body. 553 00:26:22,973 --> 00:26:24,813 Speaker 5: He I think they need someone out there at the 554 00:26:24,853 --> 00:26:28,613 Speaker 5: moment without Forsha Harris. All I can think of is 555 00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:31,093 Speaker 5: that Webster's got some doubts about Bunty's defense. About is 556 00:26:31,173 --> 00:26:34,253 Speaker 5: sort of lateral movement. I'm not sure, but that one 557 00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:37,893 Speaker 5: is an interesting one with the rotation. And the other 558 00:26:37,973 --> 00:26:41,213 Speaker 5: thing is what they do with Tomati. You know, he 559 00:26:41,293 --> 00:26:42,973 Speaker 5: had what did he have here? Fifteen minutes at the 560 00:26:43,093 --> 00:26:46,333 Speaker 5: end when Egan got a break, and I quite like that. 561 00:26:46,453 --> 00:26:50,333 Speaker 5: I quite like giving Egan a break and putting Chanell 562 00:26:50,853 --> 00:26:53,133 Speaker 5: to dumb behalf. I know Chanell didn't love it, as 563 00:26:53,413 --> 00:26:56,933 Speaker 5: as he mentioned to me in that chat, but I 564 00:26:57,333 --> 00:27:00,453 Speaker 5: really think Egan is so important, mate. I really don't 565 00:27:00,613 --> 00:27:04,133 Speaker 5: hope they're not sort of, you know, thrashing him because 566 00:27:04,173 --> 00:27:07,573 Speaker 5: these cumulative eighty minute efforts they do add up and 567 00:27:07,653 --> 00:27:10,013 Speaker 5: they get you after a while. 568 00:27:10,133 --> 00:27:14,853 Speaker 3: So my big concern is what happens when Wade Egan 569 00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:18,253 Speaker 3: gets in, because it's not if with Wade, it's not 570 00:27:18,453 --> 00:27:21,813 Speaker 3: if it's going to happen. And to me with the 571 00:27:21,893 --> 00:27:24,053 Speaker 3: Warriors attack being a little bit stunted at this point 572 00:27:24,093 --> 00:27:27,973 Speaker 3: in time, Eagan is so important with his ability to 573 00:27:28,053 --> 00:27:31,453 Speaker 3: peel off meters around the ruck and create that space, 574 00:27:31,573 --> 00:27:32,413 Speaker 3: hold that space. 575 00:27:33,493 --> 00:27:35,613 Speaker 4: Warriors rely a lot on him with ball in hand. 576 00:27:36,733 --> 00:27:39,653 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's critical, just as passing, like he didn't run 577 00:27:39,733 --> 00:27:43,173 Speaker 5: much on Saturday, it wasn't that kind of game, sloshing 578 00:27:43,213 --> 00:27:45,013 Speaker 5: around and the workmen he gaps up the middle. But 579 00:27:46,053 --> 00:27:48,013 Speaker 5: just as passing you talk to the Fords, he gives 580 00:27:48,053 --> 00:27:50,333 Speaker 5: him sort an extra meter with his pass, his vision 581 00:27:50,373 --> 00:27:53,613 Speaker 5: and his deception. He's vital and it's a good point 582 00:27:53,653 --> 00:27:57,613 Speaker 5: actually if he does get injured because he's playing in 583 00:27:57,653 --> 00:28:01,893 Speaker 5: such a physical position and it happens, who's up next, 584 00:28:01,973 --> 00:28:06,013 Speaker 5: you know, Freddy Lussk, Sam Healley, Freddy Lussick, Sam Heeley, 585 00:28:06,093 --> 00:28:11,293 Speaker 5: Sam Helly's actually been starting great ahead of Lassex. So yeah, 586 00:28:11,293 --> 00:28:13,853 Speaker 5: I guess Herely's the guy, because you wouldn't go makeshift. 587 00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:15,693 Speaker 5: I'm sure you wouldn't go. Okay, we're just going to 588 00:28:15,933 --> 00:28:17,693 Speaker 5: play shenew there the whole match, and we're going to 589 00:28:17,773 --> 00:28:20,613 Speaker 5: play Aaron Clark. I just can't see them doing that. 590 00:28:20,693 --> 00:28:23,293 Speaker 5: They'd want a specialist. So look, let's hope that's not 591 00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:25,013 Speaker 5: a topic for quite a while. 592 00:28:28,053 --> 00:28:32,893 Speaker 1: The Big League Podcast on the Warriors Badwagon since day one. 593 00:28:34,533 --> 00:28:37,733 Speaker 2: The big League Podcast for the biggest league fans. 594 00:28:38,893 --> 00:28:42,453 Speaker 3: All Right, Bert's quick fire predictions to finish this week's episode, 595 00:28:42,493 --> 00:28:46,173 Speaker 3: It's a bumper match to start, Broncos in Brisbane against 596 00:28:46,213 --> 00:28:51,293 Speaker 3: the Bulldogs who are now six and oh Sex. 597 00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:53,133 Speaker 4: Sex. 598 00:28:53,573 --> 00:28:56,893 Speaker 5: I really felt for Michael Maguire on Saturday. You know, 599 00:28:57,013 --> 00:28:59,813 Speaker 5: it was really good to see him, but he was just, 600 00:29:00,613 --> 00:29:03,173 Speaker 5: you know, I think he was struggling to express what 601 00:29:03,293 --> 00:29:07,293 Speaker 5: he wanted to say. But you know, the Broncos they 602 00:29:07,373 --> 00:29:09,453 Speaker 5: dominated the first half and aways should have had more points. 603 00:29:09,493 --> 00:29:11,853 Speaker 5: Then they come back and then they can't engineer a 604 00:29:11,933 --> 00:29:13,973 Speaker 5: field goal in the last couple of minutes. They didn't 605 00:29:14,093 --> 00:29:16,053 Speaker 5: you manage to get Renal to have a shot. He's 606 00:29:16,093 --> 00:29:17,533 Speaker 5: one of the best in the business at it, he 607 00:29:17,613 --> 00:29:19,653 Speaker 5: must have been so. And then Walsh does that kickoff. 608 00:29:19,693 --> 00:29:21,253 Speaker 5: I mean we didn't really even talk about that, but 609 00:29:21,373 --> 00:29:22,893 Speaker 5: far out there are a lot of things that went 610 00:29:22,933 --> 00:29:25,253 Speaker 5: against their way. What I'm trying to say is they 611 00:29:25,293 --> 00:29:27,573 Speaker 5: still played fairly well, but they're actually under a lot 612 00:29:27,613 --> 00:29:30,333 Speaker 5: of pressure now. It feels like this game is almost 613 00:29:30,373 --> 00:29:32,893 Speaker 5: a must win. They need a bit of a turnaround 614 00:29:32,933 --> 00:29:35,773 Speaker 5: and prove a point against the Bulldogs. And I don't 615 00:29:35,773 --> 00:29:37,493 Speaker 5: know if the Bulldogs are that good, but I always 616 00:29:37,533 --> 00:29:40,533 Speaker 5: say that maybe they are. They're certainly looking good. So 617 00:29:40,573 --> 00:29:43,813 Speaker 5: I'm going to tip the home team here to really respond, 618 00:29:43,933 --> 00:29:47,253 Speaker 5: although I'm pretty sure they'll almost certainly be without Reese Waltz, 619 00:29:47,293 --> 00:29:49,333 Speaker 5: which is another blow. 620 00:29:49,493 --> 00:29:51,213 Speaker 4: But I'll go with the Broncos here. 621 00:29:51,373 --> 00:29:54,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, well out for four to six weeks. I'm going 622 00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:57,453 Speaker 3: to back the Bulldogs to win again. Roosters versus the 623 00:29:57,493 --> 00:29:58,733 Speaker 3: Dragons in Sydney. 624 00:29:59,373 --> 00:30:01,253 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean look at the Dragons lately. I 625 00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:06,093 Speaker 5: mean they beat manly at the weekend. The Roosters couldn't 626 00:30:06,133 --> 00:30:09,213 Speaker 5: continue after that big win over the Broncos. This is 627 00:30:09,693 --> 00:30:11,813 Speaker 5: toss the coin stuff. Although that's my cliche I sale 628 00:30:11,813 --> 00:30:13,573 Speaker 5: at the time as an excuse for I'm not sure, 629 00:30:14,373 --> 00:30:16,573 Speaker 5: so I'll go with I'll go with the Roosters here. 630 00:30:17,973 --> 00:30:21,893 Speaker 3: Rooster's got absolutely pumped by the Panthers, conceded forty points. 631 00:30:21,893 --> 00:30:23,253 Speaker 3: They're in a bit of a state. I'm going to 632 00:30:23,333 --> 00:30:25,693 Speaker 3: go with the Dragons Warriors versus the Nights and christ Judge. 633 00:30:26,453 --> 00:30:29,253 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, it's hard to see anything but the Warriors win. 634 00:30:29,933 --> 00:30:33,893 Speaker 5: They're really good in christ Church. They're really confident, they've 635 00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:37,253 Speaker 5: got momentum, they've got belief. The short turnaround or suit 636 00:30:37,333 --> 00:30:39,293 Speaker 5: them much more than it suits the Knights who have 637 00:30:39,413 --> 00:30:42,253 Speaker 5: to travel, and they get a few players back. 638 00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:45,173 Speaker 4: So add all that up, it's hard to see anything 639 00:30:45,213 --> 00:30:47,493 Speaker 4: but a home win. Yeah. I mean we say that, 640 00:30:48,533 --> 00:30:53,093 Speaker 4: but this competition, you just cannot. I didn't. I wrote 641 00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:55,813 Speaker 4: them off against the Broncos last week. Denials too many 642 00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:59,173 Speaker 4: players and the Broncos. But I am going to back 643 00:30:59,213 --> 00:31:00,533 Speaker 4: the Warriors to win this one. 644 00:31:00,733 --> 00:31:03,933 Speaker 3: Storm Rabbit O's did you see the Storm get absolutely 645 00:31:04,053 --> 00:31:06,773 Speaker 3: pumped by the Dolphins burge and not. 646 00:31:06,933 --> 00:31:09,293 Speaker 5: Just that, but they were they were they they were ahead, 647 00:31:09,453 --> 00:31:11,533 Speaker 5: they were head in the first half by a decent margin. 648 00:31:11,573 --> 00:31:17,053 Speaker 5: They started well and then just came just got last week. 649 00:31:17,173 --> 00:31:19,853 Speaker 3: Last week you said it'll be a long long time 650 00:31:19,933 --> 00:31:21,933 Speaker 3: before I ever tip against the Storm again. 651 00:31:22,093 --> 00:31:24,133 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I said, as I said, oh, you know, 652 00:31:24,333 --> 00:31:26,573 Speaker 4: no one can get close to them, and here we are. 653 00:31:27,133 --> 00:31:29,973 Speaker 5: The only thing that both of us should have realized, 654 00:31:30,053 --> 00:31:32,813 Speaker 5: probably is that they had an extremely short turn around. 655 00:31:32,813 --> 00:31:36,053 Speaker 5: They played on a Sunday and against the Warriors, and 656 00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:38,613 Speaker 5: so very short turn around, shorter than the Dolphins, and 657 00:31:38,733 --> 00:31:41,093 Speaker 5: that to travel. So I guess they're a bit vulnerable, 658 00:31:41,133 --> 00:31:44,173 Speaker 5: but far out to lose by that much. They surely 659 00:31:44,253 --> 00:31:47,253 Speaker 5: won't lose again. But then the rabbit O's got smashed 660 00:31:47,293 --> 00:31:49,893 Speaker 5: as well, and they'll be they'll be up for something. 661 00:31:49,973 --> 00:31:53,373 Speaker 5: But I think what I did say last week, Nath 662 00:31:53,573 --> 00:31:55,413 Speaker 5: was it a long time before I tip against the 663 00:31:55,533 --> 00:31:58,413 Speaker 5: Storm in Melbourne, hoping that's what I said. 664 00:31:59,413 --> 00:32:02,053 Speaker 6: So they're back in Melbourne and they'll be back to 665 00:32:02,133 --> 00:32:07,133 Speaker 6: being the Storm. Cowboys versus the Titans Queensland Derby. Yes, 666 00:32:07,693 --> 00:32:10,493 Speaker 6: this is always quite a good rivalry, this one. 667 00:32:11,253 --> 00:32:14,293 Speaker 5: The Titans of course showing signs of life and the 668 00:32:14,373 --> 00:32:16,613 Speaker 5: Cowboys recovered from their poor start. 669 00:32:16,693 --> 00:32:20,533 Speaker 3: This is quite The Titans were looking so good before 670 00:32:20,613 --> 00:32:22,573 Speaker 3: and then I started tipping them and then they went 671 00:32:22,653 --> 00:32:28,013 Speaker 3: crap again. They can see the thirty eight against the 672 00:32:28,133 --> 00:32:32,093 Speaker 3: Dragons a couple of weeks ago and come from behind 673 00:32:32,133 --> 00:32:34,613 Speaker 3: when for the Raiders thirty to twenty over the Titans 674 00:32:34,933 --> 00:32:37,173 Speaker 3: in the round just gone. They've only got two wins 675 00:32:37,253 --> 00:32:39,573 Speaker 3: now for the season. They slipped down them able to thirteenth, 676 00:32:39,813 --> 00:32:40,733 Speaker 3: Cowboys up to ninth. 677 00:32:40,773 --> 00:32:43,013 Speaker 5: I mean, they're never going to be consistent. They're what 678 00:32:43,093 --> 00:32:45,053 Speaker 5: you call a fragile team that can be good on 679 00:32:45,133 --> 00:32:49,893 Speaker 5: their day. But I think the Cowboys at home will 680 00:32:49,933 --> 00:32:50,413 Speaker 5: do this one. 681 00:32:52,453 --> 00:32:56,173 Speaker 4: Panthers versus the Seagulls, and the Panthers back, well they are. 682 00:32:56,213 --> 00:32:57,333 Speaker 4: I told you they were back last week. 683 00:32:57,333 --> 00:32:58,853 Speaker 5: That's why I topped and beat the Roosters as you 684 00:32:59,053 --> 00:33:02,133 Speaker 5: as you remember, so yeah, they were always going to 685 00:33:02,173 --> 00:33:04,533 Speaker 5: rediscover something. And the Seagules in a bit of a hole. 686 00:33:04,573 --> 00:33:08,853 Speaker 5: So Penis who continue their little mini resurgence. 687 00:33:08,493 --> 00:33:11,453 Speaker 4: Penrith at home as well. Raiders Dolphins, Jeez. 688 00:33:11,253 --> 00:33:12,613 Speaker 5: I don't know, mate, this is a good this is 689 00:33:12,653 --> 00:33:15,413 Speaker 5: a good Contest's that's probably this is the one you 690 00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:17,213 Speaker 5: see at the TB and it's a dollar eighty a 691 00:33:17,253 --> 00:33:21,173 Speaker 5: dollar ADI because the Dolphins. You know, there were all 692 00:33:21,213 --> 00:33:24,293 Speaker 5: these articles about the Wayne Bennett factor and how clubs 693 00:33:24,333 --> 00:33:27,013 Speaker 5: always fall over the year after he leaves. But actually 694 00:33:27,093 --> 00:33:32,093 Speaker 5: Christian Wolf, the new coach, former assistant, doing well Raiders Dolphins. 695 00:33:32,173 --> 00:33:36,253 Speaker 5: I'll still back camera at home, but this one will 696 00:33:36,293 --> 00:33:37,053 Speaker 5: be very close. 697 00:33:37,613 --> 00:33:40,973 Speaker 4: I'm going to back camera as well, and to finish Tigers. 698 00:33:41,773 --> 00:33:42,893 Speaker 4: This is the Sharks. 699 00:33:42,973 --> 00:33:44,773 Speaker 5: Tigers is the Sharks year. I mean, a lot going 700 00:33:44,813 --> 00:33:47,853 Speaker 5: on for the Tigers. The Sharks should have too much, 701 00:33:48,333 --> 00:33:51,813 Speaker 5: too much for the Tigers. But Tigers at home unless 702 00:33:51,813 --> 00:33:53,173 Speaker 5: you I really like what they're doing at home. The 703 00:33:53,693 --> 00:33:55,173 Speaker 5: Benji has got them going well at home. 704 00:33:55,213 --> 00:33:56,973 Speaker 4: You have to say that. But you go for the Sharks. 705 00:33:57,453 --> 00:33:59,533 Speaker 4: Going for the Sharks, Yes, I will agree with you there. 706 00:33:59,573 --> 00:34:01,493 Speaker 3: Thank you, Michael.
