Speaker 1: from News Talks.

Speaker 2: They'd be in URL round sixteen Warriors on the Gold

4
00:00:15,147 --> 00:00:18,107
Speaker 2: Coast to face the Titans five o'clock this afternoon. Last

5
00:00:18,107 --> 00:00:19,987
Speaker 2: time out for the Warriors are.

6
00:00:19,907 --> 00:00:21,507
Speaker 1: Very good one for Melbourne.

7
00:00:21,787 --> 00:00:23,667
Speaker 2: That will be one of the best ones for them

8
00:00:23,707 --> 00:00:24,307
Speaker 2: this season.

9
00:00:25,027 --> 00:00:28,307
Speaker 3: The Storm win by thirty eight points to twenty.

10
00:00:27,947 --> 00:00:29,907
Speaker 2: Four, so the Warrior's looking to bounce back from that.

11
00:00:30,067 --> 00:00:32,827
Speaker 2: Assistant coach Richard Agar joins us from the Gold Coast. Richard,

12
00:00:32,827 --> 00:00:34,507
Speaker 2: thanks for your time, mate. What are the main things

13
00:00:34,547 --> 00:00:37,947
Speaker 2: your review of that loss to the Storm threw up

14
00:00:37,947 --> 00:00:39,147
Speaker 2: when you had to look back at it.

15
00:00:40,347 --> 00:00:43,147
Speaker 3: Hey, Jason, thanks for having me on the show, mate. Yeah,

16
00:00:43,227 --> 00:00:46,467
Speaker 3: interesting question because you know, a pretty interesting game for us.

17
00:00:46,987 --> 00:00:49,547
Speaker 3: We fell. You know, our starts of the game were

18
00:00:49,587 --> 00:00:53,547
Speaker 3: really good and when we looked, I guess statistically I

19
00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:55,347
Speaker 3: were performed in the game. A lot of this stuff

20
00:00:55,347 --> 00:00:58,187
Speaker 3: around his defense, you know, in terms of book control

21
00:00:58,747 --> 00:01:02,667
Speaker 3: and our field position were really really good. When we

22
00:01:02,667 --> 00:01:05,547
Speaker 3: looked at the I guess the big moments in the game,

23
00:01:05,587 --> 00:01:07,187
Speaker 3: you know, I having a ball smashed off us for

24
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:11,627
Speaker 3: a try, we spilled the ball on last play the

25
00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:13,747
Speaker 3: line break, we conceded we had a man down injured,

26
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:16,867
Speaker 3: you know, and that's sort of no great excuse, we

27
00:01:16,907 --> 00:01:20,667
Speaker 3: could have handled that better, but we actually felt that

28
00:01:20,667 --> 00:01:23,667
Speaker 3: that and you know, the period where we had twelve

29
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:26,587
Speaker 3: men and eleven men, there were some really big moments

30
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:30,427
Speaker 3: and damaging moments, but throughout the sort of I guess

31
00:01:30,827 --> 00:01:35,387
Speaker 3: armoss lais of the game and statistically we actually did

32
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:38,427
Speaker 3: a lot of things pretty well in the game. So

33
00:01:38,507 --> 00:01:41,147
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's it's a lesson in the

34
00:01:41,147 --> 00:01:44,147
Speaker 3: big moments and on in the big moments, and certainly

35
00:01:44,187 --> 00:01:47,267
Speaker 3: playing against sidellit Melbourne that I guess for a long

36
00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:50,827
Speaker 3: long time they've been used to hanging in games and

37
00:01:51,307 --> 00:01:54,147
Speaker 3: waiting for opportunities, and yeah, yeah they took them. Look,

38
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:56,387
Speaker 3: I think coming off the field and looking at the

39
00:01:56,387 --> 00:02:03,627
Speaker 3: scoreboard with thirty eight points year on review, we've come

40
00:02:03,667 --> 00:02:06,707
Speaker 3: away thinking, no, how did that happen? But we've done

41
00:02:06,707 --> 00:02:08,387
Speaker 3: a lot of things right in that game to thirty

42
00:02:08,427 --> 00:02:11,347
Speaker 3: eight points put on us. At the same time, I think,

43
00:02:12,347 --> 00:02:15,547
Speaker 3: you know, we need to probably get a little bit

44
00:02:15,587 --> 00:02:17,707
Speaker 3: more fluent see through our spine again. You know, we

45
00:02:18,187 --> 00:02:23,067
Speaker 3: had some changes there and you know, some combinations that

46
00:02:23,107 --> 00:02:24,867
Speaker 3: have not been together for a number of weeks, and

47
00:02:24,907 --> 00:02:27,187
Speaker 3: I think that's that's certainly an improvement we'll look for

48
00:02:27,227 --> 00:02:29,667
Speaker 3: this week and then in and around our kicking again.

49
00:02:30,507 --> 00:02:33,067
Speaker 2: You've obviously I got some changes this week as well,

50
00:02:33,107 --> 00:02:36,107
Speaker 2: with suppliers out for various reasons, some of them good ones.

51
00:02:36,347 --> 00:02:39,347
Speaker 2: Capel much bean it of course on origin duty. You've

52
00:02:39,387 --> 00:02:42,547
Speaker 2: got Dellan out for a week with suspension, Roco Beery's injured.

53
00:02:43,067 --> 00:02:46,227
Speaker 2: You feel like you've got the kettle to cover those losses.

54
00:02:46,387 --> 00:02:50,507
Speaker 3: Ruch, Yeah, I think I think we have definitely, I

55
00:02:50,547 --> 00:02:53,347
Speaker 3: think squad det for something that we're really happy about

56
00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:55,387
Speaker 3: during the course of the year. I think I think

57
00:02:55,427 --> 00:02:59,067
Speaker 3: the flip side to that is we probably haven't had

58
00:02:59,107 --> 00:03:01,747
Speaker 3: the continuity in his line up over long periods. You know,

59
00:03:01,787 --> 00:03:04,227
Speaker 3: we looked at our team coming back last week and

60
00:03:04,387 --> 00:03:06,307
Speaker 3: it will probably as stronger team as we've had our

61
00:03:06,387 --> 00:03:10,427
Speaker 3: out for a number of weeks. But nonetheless, I still

62
00:03:10,427 --> 00:03:12,387
Speaker 3: think you look down our team sheet and the guys

63
00:03:12,387 --> 00:03:15,627
Speaker 3: coming in, you know, more than capable guys. Obviously, Roger

64
00:03:15,707 --> 00:03:18,667
Speaker 3: comes back in the back line. Ed Coss is the

65
00:03:18,707 --> 00:03:24,347
Speaker 3: player that's got twenty at first grade experience, and you know,

66
00:03:24,427 --> 00:03:26,627
Speaker 3: the two guys that are playing Origin. I think, first

67
00:03:26,627 --> 00:03:29,787
Speaker 3: thing service we you know, we're extremely happy, not only

68
00:03:29,787 --> 00:03:32,587
Speaker 3: happy for those two guys, but really proud that our

69
00:03:32,627 --> 00:03:37,707
Speaker 3: clubs providing guys for both Origin teams this week. But yeah,

70
00:03:37,707 --> 00:03:39,987
Speaker 3: I think I still think we've got enough depth and

71
00:03:40,107 --> 00:03:44,227
Speaker 3: experience to get a side out there that's strong enough

72
00:03:44,227 --> 00:03:44,827
Speaker 3: to do the job.

73
00:03:45,347 --> 00:03:48,027
Speaker 2: On the flip side, of course, Roger ta shik is

74
00:03:48,107 --> 00:03:52,547
Speaker 2: Beck having missed the last five matches, it's a silly question.

75
00:03:52,587 --> 00:03:54,227
Speaker 2: I know I have big a booster is it going

76
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:55,507
Speaker 2: to be? But but what do you what are you

77
00:03:55,547 --> 00:03:57,427
Speaker 2: expecting from Roger upon his return?

78
00:03:59,267 --> 00:04:01,107
Speaker 3: One thing about Roger what we know? You know that

79
00:04:01,547 --> 00:04:05,427
Speaker 3: his level of professionalism is probably unmatched anywhere in sport,

80
00:04:05,587 --> 00:04:10,507
Speaker 3: and he's back looking lucky sharp. I think the X

81
00:04:10,627 --> 00:04:12,427
Speaker 3: week has really helped him in terms of we've been

82
00:04:12,427 --> 00:04:15,227
Speaker 3: able to get some more training into him and integrating

83
00:04:15,347 --> 00:04:18,587
Speaker 3: more into our fault team practice and unit practice, which

84
00:04:18,627 --> 00:04:21,227
Speaker 3: you were probably a little bit short last week. But

85
00:04:21,307 --> 00:04:25,787
Speaker 3: Roger's really excited by the challenge and the challenge this

86
00:04:25,907 --> 00:04:27,467
Speaker 3: week for him is is a good one.

87
00:04:27,547 --> 00:04:27,707
Speaker 1: You know.

88
00:04:27,827 --> 00:04:31,547
Speaker 3: I think Brian Kelly for the Titans has been a

89
00:04:31,587 --> 00:04:34,827
Speaker 3: really shining light for them is an unpredictable player that

90
00:04:34,907 --> 00:04:38,107
Speaker 3: makes things happen. And I think, you know Roger coming

91
00:04:38,187 --> 00:04:41,307
Speaker 3: up again, there'll be two guys that both want the

92
00:04:41,307 --> 00:04:43,747
Speaker 3: ball in the hand, both can make things happen when

93
00:04:43,747 --> 00:04:47,067
Speaker 3: there's not a lot harm and it be a terrific contest.

94
00:04:47,107 --> 00:04:50,027
Speaker 3: But Roger's got a great presence for us on the

95
00:04:50,067 --> 00:04:52,827
Speaker 3: training field and our game day. So yeah, we're super

96
00:04:52,827 --> 00:04:53,707
Speaker 3: glaps having back.

97
00:04:53,987 --> 00:04:56,267
Speaker 2: Can you win in to the Titans twenty seven twenty

98
00:04:56,267 --> 00:04:59,187
Speaker 2: four on nzick? Are any listens rich from that game

99
00:04:59,227 --> 00:05:00,427
Speaker 2: that you'll take into this one?

100
00:05:02,187 --> 00:05:04,467
Speaker 3: Yeah? I reckon, So I reckon there's some good lessons

101
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:05,947
Speaker 3: to come out of that game. You know, they're a

102
00:05:05,947 --> 00:05:08,347
Speaker 3: team that I'll love playing. Shut us down on the

103
00:05:08,427 --> 00:05:11,067
Speaker 3: edges a little bit, and I think I think during

104
00:05:11,107 --> 00:05:13,547
Speaker 3: that game, you know, one review, we look back, we

105
00:05:13,907 --> 00:05:16,347
Speaker 3: probably had a lot of scoring opportunities in that game

106
00:05:16,387 --> 00:05:19,067
Speaker 3: that we'd even quite ice and perhaps got a little

107
00:05:19,067 --> 00:05:22,107
Speaker 3: bit frustrated when we got into good attacking positions. I

108
00:05:22,107 --> 00:05:25,187
Speaker 3: think that's something at the weekend that it would feel,

109
00:05:25,467 --> 00:05:28,347
Speaker 3: you know, fulfilled those occasions that that's happening that you know,

110
00:05:28,387 --> 00:05:30,747
Speaker 3: we just got to stay composed and play the longer

111
00:05:30,787 --> 00:05:32,027
Speaker 3: game A little bit all right.

112
00:05:31,947 --> 00:05:33,827
Speaker 2: Right, John, know you've got team meetings, etcetera to get to,

113
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:35,787
Speaker 2: so I appreciate your time. Thanks for joining us. Richard

114
00:05:35,787 --> 00:05:38,547
Speaker 2: I guard they're assistant coach of the Warriors. Five o'clock

115
00:05:38,587 --> 00:05:41,067
Speaker 2: this afternoon they take on the Titans, bottom of the table,

116
00:05:41,387 --> 00:05:43,427
Speaker 2: although as I mentioned there, they beat the Warriors on

117
00:05:43,467 --> 00:05:46,187
Speaker 2: an Zec day, so let's hope the Warriors jump back

118
00:05:46,187 --> 00:05:49,227
Speaker 2: on that winning horse and get a win. It it

119
00:05:49,347 --> 00:05:50,907
Speaker 2: was a sea bus. Is that the name of the

120
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:53,027
Speaker 2: stadium on the Gold Coast? I can picture it. I've

121
00:05:53,067 --> 00:05:55,387
Speaker 2: driven past it a couple of times. That's where the

122
00:05:55,427 --> 00:05:58,707
Speaker 2: Titans play five o'clock this afternoon, leading nicely into kickoff

123
00:05:58,707 --> 00:06:00,707
Speaker 2: and the rugby at just after seven.
