Michael Burgess 7 00:00:34,853 --> 00:00:36,773 Speaker 2: and I discussed how much we can take from a 8 00:00:36,813 --> 00:00:39,933 Speaker 2: win over the potential Wooden Spooners and explain why the 9 00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:43,653 Speaker 2: fourteenth placed Eels are said to be a mighty challenge. 10 00:00:43,933 --> 00:00:45,413 Speaker 3: My name is Nathan Limb. 11 00:00:45,573 --> 00:00:47,453 Speaker 4: Let's go LV. 12 00:00:48,013 --> 00:00:50,853 Speaker 2: It's been two long months, but the Warriors have finally 13 00:00:50,893 --> 00:00:53,973 Speaker 2: produced a performance they can be properly proud of. Thank 14 00:00:54,213 --> 00:00:57,653 Speaker 2: goodness for that. A comfortable victory of the Titans is 15 00:00:57,693 --> 00:01:01,293 Speaker 2: a welcome relief after weeks of struggle and loss of personnel. 16 00:01:01,773 --> 00:01:05,413 Speaker 2: Are they suddenly a premiership winning team? No, A considerable 17 00:01:05,453 --> 00:01:08,173 Speaker 2: step up will be needed for any success in the playoffs, 18 00:01:08,493 --> 00:01:13,093 Speaker 2: but somehow, despite everything, the Warriors remain fourth on the ladder, 19 00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:16,573 Speaker 2: two points clear of the Broncos with two rounds to go. 20 00:01:17,053 --> 00:01:19,813 Speaker 2: Michael Burgess, Senior, New Zealand Herald right at how much 21 00:01:19,853 --> 00:01:22,373 Speaker 2: confidence can we take from a win over the bottom 22 00:01:22,413 --> 00:01:23,333 Speaker 2: placed side? 23 00:01:24,093 --> 00:01:28,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, first of all, two months you reckon it's been 24 00:01:28,653 --> 00:01:34,893 Speaker 3: about that, hasn't It. 25 00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,053 Speaker 2: Wasn't The Knights one was the last real good performance 26 00:01:37,093 --> 00:01:40,053 Speaker 2: six ones ago the Kuneller game and June was really good. 27 00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:41,453 Speaker 2: That was probably the one you're thinking of. 28 00:01:41,573 --> 00:01:44,293 Speaker 3: But I thought I thought they played quite well against 29 00:01:44,293 --> 00:01:47,133 Speaker 3: the Tigers that win and Mount Smart against the Tigers 30 00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:50,533 Speaker 3: and Dolphins was pretty good part from it. 31 00:01:51,293 --> 00:01:54,893 Speaker 2: But since they've had a consistent all round perform it 32 00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:57,773 Speaker 2: wasn't perfect, But since the game plan has looked like 33 00:01:57,813 --> 00:02:00,213 Speaker 2: it's working and it's been instead of them sort of 34 00:02:00,213 --> 00:02:02,853 Speaker 2: scratching over the line, it's been comprehensive all round. 35 00:02:03,013 --> 00:02:05,893 Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about. Okay, we're just yeah, okay, okay, 36 00:02:05,893 --> 00:02:09,253 Speaker 3: I can give you that. I mean, how much confidence. 37 00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:11,693 Speaker 3: I think it's just more about where they're going now. 38 00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:14,813 Speaker 3: I think we've both feel a lot better about where 39 00:02:14,813 --> 00:02:16,293 Speaker 3: they go and compare to how we failt a couple 40 00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:19,693 Speaker 3: of weeks ago. You know, we saw the grit and 41 00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,013 Speaker 3: guts and spirit to beat the dragons, and then we 42 00:02:22,053 --> 00:02:25,853 Speaker 3: saw a bit of flare and invention to beat the Titans. 43 00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:27,613 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter so much where the Titans are on 44 00:02:27,653 --> 00:02:30,333 Speaker 3: the table. They're a better team than we all think 45 00:02:30,373 --> 00:02:32,693 Speaker 3: they are. That's why they keep surprising. You know, they 46 00:02:32,693 --> 00:02:34,773 Speaker 3: almost spent penri few weeks ago they beat the Warriors, 47 00:02:34,773 --> 00:02:38,653 Speaker 3: so we won't no one to get carried away. But 48 00:02:39,453 --> 00:02:42,693 Speaker 3: real good step in the right direction. They've got some momentum, 49 00:02:42,693 --> 00:02:44,573 Speaker 3: they've got some belief and there's a bit of pressure off. 50 00:02:45,133 --> 00:02:47,933 Speaker 3: That's really what I sensed watching that game, just a 51 00:02:47,973 --> 00:02:49,213 Speaker 3: bit of pressure out of the bottle. 52 00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:51,253 Speaker 2: And they need to win those last two games, really, 53 00:02:51,253 --> 00:02:54,093 Speaker 2: don't they, Because there are two points up on the Broncos. 54 00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:55,893 Speaker 2: To say they win one lose one, the Broncos win two, 55 00:02:55,933 --> 00:02:57,973 Speaker 2: Broncos have a much better points differential, So if they 56 00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:00,533 Speaker 2: want to stay top four, unless the Broncos are going 57 00:03:00,573 --> 00:03:02,293 Speaker 2: to drop a game, yeah. 58 00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:05,053 Speaker 3: I mean, there's all these permittations, and actually quite a 59 00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:07,333 Speaker 3: few of the teams chasing them got some hard games, 60 00:03:07,653 --> 00:03:11,293 Speaker 3: so that helps. So some teams might drop games. But 61 00:03:11,413 --> 00:03:13,173 Speaker 3: the team might be worried about to be the Sharks 62 00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:17,093 Speaker 3: because from memory, they've got pretty couple of pretty straight 63 00:03:17,173 --> 00:03:22,093 Speaker 3: forward games, so to speak. So the Warriors can't really 64 00:03:22,173 --> 00:03:24,533 Speaker 3: afford to drop a game. You're right, they've got a 65 00:03:24,573 --> 00:03:26,853 Speaker 3: beat parameter of this Friday and then it all come 66 00:03:26,893 --> 00:03:30,013 Speaker 3: down to the manly game next next Friday as well. 67 00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:32,773 Speaker 3: But they're in a much better space to do that 68 00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:34,933 Speaker 3: compared to what we're talking about a few weeks ago, 69 00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:36,133 Speaker 3: and were saying to you they've got to win the 70 00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:38,733 Speaker 3: last four. How's this going to happen? We're going to 71 00:03:38,813 --> 00:03:41,653 Speaker 3: hear from Warriors Center Rocco Beary next. 72 00:03:41,693 --> 00:03:46,733 Speaker 2: But first, here are the highlights Warriors thirty two Titans eighteen. 73 00:03:47,413 --> 00:03:50,493 Speaker 5: So here we go Game two on Super Saturday, Round 74 00:03:50,573 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 5: number twenty five.

I think at the end just looked 102 00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:29,293 Speaker 6: at a little bit of points, which was which a 103 00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:31,533 Speaker 6: little bit annoying. But yeah, for the most part, we're 104 00:05:31,533 --> 00:05:32,613 Speaker 6: pretty clinical, and we just. 105 00:05:32,773 --> 00:05:37,813 Speaker 3: Probably finished off because what was the team's mindset coming 106 00:05:37,853 --> 00:05:38,573 Speaker 3: into this match. 107 00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:42,453 Speaker 6: It was pretty much, I'm trying to try and take 108 00:05:42,493 --> 00:05:44,693 Speaker 6: the games. At the end, we just wanted to go 109 00:05:44,773 --> 00:05:46,653 Speaker 6: to be aggressive with our line to beat and just 110 00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:47,213 Speaker 6: go off of them. 111 00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:47,653 Speaker 3: Pretty much. 112 00:05:47,733 --> 00:05:49,413 Speaker 6: And yeah, I felt that we did that for the 113 00:05:49,413 --> 00:05:49,893 Speaker 6: most part. 114 00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:52,133 Speaker 3: I mean, when you were aware of this sort of 115 00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:54,773 Speaker 3: record that the Gold Coast have had, was when we 116 00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:59,653 Speaker 3: talk about that that they've dominated most of the last encounters. 117 00:06:00,573 --> 00:06:03,493 Speaker 6: No, it wasn't really any book about it, but I 118 00:06:03,493 --> 00:06:05,693 Speaker 6: think probably if you was in the back of our 119 00:06:05,693 --> 00:06:07,253 Speaker 6: minds that we haven't been too successful. 120 00:06:07,373 --> 00:06:08,333 Speaker 3: But we didn't bring it up. 121 00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:10,413 Speaker 6: We just wanted to come over here and get a 122 00:06:10,493 --> 00:06:12,333 Speaker 6: game morning at the two points, and yeah, that was 123 00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:13,333 Speaker 6: a major focus. 124 00:06:13,613 --> 00:06:16,813 Speaker 3: How do you feel that that you executed things with 125 00:06:16,933 --> 00:06:17,293 Speaker 3: the ball. 126 00:06:19,373 --> 00:06:21,733 Speaker 6: I think we're pretty you know, we kind of got 127 00:06:21,733 --> 00:06:23,253 Speaker 6: our game on pretty well, and we'll I feel I 128 00:06:23,293 --> 00:06:25,453 Speaker 6: will flow in an attack. There was a couple of 129 00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:28,493 Speaker 6: tries we didn't the opportunities, we didn't finish off maybe 130 00:06:28,573 --> 00:06:31,213 Speaker 6: as good as as we wanted to. But yeah, I 131 00:06:31,213 --> 00:06:33,213 Speaker 6: feel like we trap from school and got our game 132 00:06:33,213 --> 00:06:34,053 Speaker 6: on for the most part. 133 00:06:34,693 --> 00:06:36,453 Speaker 3: How did you feel being back out there? 134 00:06:37,453 --> 00:06:37,813 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was. 135 00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:40,173 Speaker 6: I was pretty gay, especially in the first in the 136 00:06:40,213 --> 00:06:43,453 Speaker 6: first half.

So that 178 00:08:27,453 --> 00:08:29,533 Speaker 6: was the frustrating. That was like I've never had something 179 00:08:29,613 --> 00:08:31,573 Speaker 6: like that. And then these ones this year you always 180 00:08:31,613 --> 00:08:34,013 Speaker 6: have that set return, Dawn. You just built through and 181 00:08:34,093 --> 00:08:37,253 Speaker 6: I like enjoyed training, working hard away from and training 182 00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:39,813 Speaker 6: and rehabs. So those ones have been pretty pretty easy 183 00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:40,813 Speaker 6: to handle. 184 00:08:41,093 --> 00:08:43,853 Speaker 3: Because the shoulder, it seemed did you sort of come 185 00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:45,213 Speaker 3: back ahead of schedule with that? 186 00:08:46,533 --> 00:08:49,093 Speaker 6: Oh, there was wasn't really a set time date that 187 00:08:49,253 --> 00:08:50,173 Speaker 6: was it wasn't. 188 00:08:50,973 --> 00:08:51,533 Speaker 3: It was a nerve. 189 00:08:51,613 --> 00:08:54,093 Speaker 6: So they kind of just like you kind of guess 190 00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:55,573 Speaker 6: when you can, you don't really know what you're going 191 00:08:55,613 --> 00:08:58,773 Speaker 6: to come back, And yeah, it was pretty much up 192 00:08:58,773 --> 00:09:00,453 Speaker 6: in the air, like I knew I was. I was 193 00:09:00,453 --> 00:09:02,213 Speaker 6: probably thinking it was gonna be a lot later, but 194 00:09:02,253 --> 00:09:05,333 Speaker 6: then I had a resturgeons with the strength and the shoulder, 195 00:09:05,373 --> 00:09:06,133 Speaker 6: and then he. 196 00:09:06,253 --> 00:09:08,773 Speaker 3: Ended up coming back pretty early from it. What does 197 00:09:08,853 --> 00:09:12,053 Speaker 3: it mean to you, Rocker to get to fifty l games? 198 00:09:13,893 --> 00:09:16,933 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's Yeah, it's pretty colm. I don't 199 00:09:16,933 --> 00:09:19,773 Speaker 6: really look and think about it too much, but it's 200 00:09:19,773 --> 00:09:21,573 Speaker 6: definitely something I'll probably look back on and be pretty 201 00:09:21,573 --> 00:09:23,253 Speaker 6: proud about it. You know, I was probably not being 202 00:09:23,293 --> 00:09:25,853 Speaker 6: a Ben a Warrior's fan as gayhead and you know, 203 00:09:25,973 --> 00:09:28,253 Speaker 6: dreaming flavoring for them. So for your fifty games, you know, 204 00:09:28,253 --> 00:09:31,453 Speaker 6: it's aditional amount. Obviously there's bigger milestones, but yeah, something 205 00:09:31,493 --> 00:09:33,213 Speaker 6: I'll be able to look back on and my family 206 00:09:33,253 --> 00:09:34,213 Speaker 6: for sure will be proud of me too. 207 00:09:34,733 --> 00:09:36,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot bigger ones to come, I'm sure. 208 00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:39,173 Speaker 3: But do you have any favorite memories of your first 209 00:09:39,253 --> 00:09:39,933 Speaker 3: fifty games? 210 00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:45,773 Speaker 6: I think probably that that Newcastle game in the the finals, 211 00:09:45,813 --> 00:09:47,733 Speaker 6: was pretty cool in twenty twenty three, I think you 212 00:09:47,813 --> 00:09:50,893 Speaker 6: know that was one of the craziest atmospheres, and yeah, 213 00:09:50,893 --> 00:09:53,253 Speaker 6: it was a good performance too. That was probably when 214 00:09:53,253 --> 00:09:55,053 Speaker 6: I'd look back on and then yeah, there was obviously 215 00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:57,293 Speaker 6: a dab as well, which was smol to take that off. 216 00:09:58,133 --> 00:10:01,053 Speaker 3: And I'm sure no one's getting carried away. But how's 217 00:10:01,093 --> 00:10:04,373 Speaker 3: the team feeling after tonight's wind? Does it feel like 218 00:10:05,373 --> 00:10:07,413 Speaker 3: you've got a bit of momentum going now? 219 00:10:08,933 --> 00:10:09,253 Speaker 8: For sure? 220 00:10:09,293 --> 00:10:11,333 Speaker 3: I think we've kind of had a game plan. 221 00:10:11,413 --> 00:10:13,133 Speaker 6: We came over here and executed it for the most part, 222 00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:16,173 Speaker 6: so that'll give us a lot of confidence. I'm heading 223 00:10:16,253 --> 00:10:17,693 Speaker 6: to the rest of the effort. We're not going to 224 00:10:17,733 --> 00:10:20,053 Speaker 6: get ahead of ourselves. We'll take a week by week. 225 00:10:20,093 --> 00:10:22,293 Speaker 6: But yeah, it was definitely and hitting the right direction 226 00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:23,573 Speaker 6: and it was good that we backed up what was 227 00:10:23,653 --> 00:10:24,173 Speaker 6: never going to do. 228 00:10:24,733 --> 00:10:27,213 Speaker 3: I mean, just finally, how do you you sort of 229 00:10:27,253 --> 00:10:28,733 Speaker 3: down play it, but how do you come back in 230 00:10:28,853 --> 00:10:33,253 Speaker 3: and managed to click so quickly with your defensive work. 231 00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:36,973 Speaker 3: You're attacking work after being out. You know how tricky 232 00:10:37,093 --> 00:10:37,253 Speaker 3: is that? 233 00:10:39,573 --> 00:10:43,173 Speaker 6: That's pretty D's that's pretty The smaller matchfulness is probably 234 00:10:43,373 --> 00:10:45,733 Speaker 6: the hardest one, being able to you know, compete a 235 00:10:45,773 --> 00:10:48,493 Speaker 6: that high inneral level with the fitness, it's we don't 236 00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:52,293 Speaker 6: get that game like reps and rehabit. We've pretty much 237 00:10:52,293 --> 00:10:54,173 Speaker 6: had the same system the last couple of years that 238 00:10:54,253 --> 00:10:57,173 Speaker 6: I've really worked hard to fit into it, and so 239 00:10:57,253 --> 00:10:58,613 Speaker 6: I kind of know my job, We know my role 240 00:10:58,693 --> 00:11:00,693 Speaker 6: pretty well, but it's just back in that you know 241 00:11:01,813 --> 00:11:04,133 Speaker 6: that game match fitness is really the biggest thing. 242 00:11:05,053 --> 00:11:06,413 Speaker 3: Did you feel like you were going to score when 243 00:11:06,453 --> 00:11:08,773 Speaker 3: you took that really smart take of bit Born. 244 00:11:09,653 --> 00:11:12,813 Speaker 6: Yeah, I give myself good enough to should be able 245 00:11:12,853 --> 00:11:14,453 Speaker 6: to reach out, and they did pretty well to get 246 00:11:14,453 --> 00:11:15,013 Speaker 6: the numbers around. 247 00:11:15,093 --> 00:11:17,853 Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought I wasn't but didn't get dry. 248 00:11:18,293 --> 00:11:20,453 Speaker 3: This is the Big League podcast. 249 00:11:23,253 --> 00:11:27,133 Speaker 4: This is going Yeah, the Big League podcast on the 250 00:11:27,213 --> 00:11:28,373 Speaker 4: Warriors band Wagons. 251 00:11:28,373 --> 00:11:29,173 Speaker 3: Sin's Day one. 252 00:11:29,653 --> 00:11:31,773 Speaker 2: Great to hear from rock O Berry there after his 253 00:11:31,933 --> 00:11:35,053 Speaker 2: return from injury in his fiftieth NRL game. I thought 254 00:11:35,053 --> 00:11:37,933 Speaker 2: he was pretty strong during that game, created kick pressure 255 00:11:37,973 --> 00:11:40,173 Speaker 2: which forced the turnover and led to that second Roger 256 00:11:40,213 --> 00:11:41,133 Speaker 2: to us try. 257 00:11:41,493 --> 00:11:43,013 Speaker 3: He did, and that's what the mist You talk to 258 00:11:43,093 --> 00:11:46,053 Speaker 3: Andrew Webster and he'll tell you he is probably their 259 00:11:46,133 --> 00:11:49,373 Speaker 3: best kick. Chase guy, Derek the Warriors a good kick 260 00:11:49,453 --> 00:11:51,973 Speaker 3: chase team they've got. They've got a good bunch of chaser. 261 00:11:52,053 --> 00:11:54,733 Speaker 3: He's probably their best consistently. 262 00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:58,093 Speaker 2: And I don't know just I still think he's underrated 263 00:11:58,173 --> 00:12:01,293 Speaker 2: Rocker because suddenly when he's there on the right edge, 264 00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:04,653 Speaker 2: it looks more secure. I don't know, he's sort of 265 00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:07,893 Speaker 2: stitches thing up things up or glues things up for 266 00:12:08,013 --> 00:12:08,893 Speaker 2: one of a better words. 267 00:12:08,933 --> 00:12:11,853 Speaker 3: So he's only played seven games this year. It's absolutely 268 00:12:11,893 --> 00:12:14,053 Speaker 3: crazy that what he's been through and has he explained 269 00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:17,613 Speaker 3: really well. I really admire the mental strength. I mean, 270 00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:19,533 Speaker 3: you know what it's like to have injuries where you 271 00:12:20,253 --> 00:12:22,333 Speaker 3: can't do things and it affects you. But imagine you're 272 00:12:22,333 --> 00:12:25,013 Speaker 3: a full time athlete and you're getting injured, what four 273 00:12:25,093 --> 00:12:27,173 Speaker 3: or five times this season? It's just nuts, mate. 274 00:12:27,653 --> 00:12:27,853 Speaker 7: Yeah. 275 00:12:27,853 --> 00:12:30,653 Speaker 2: Well, I mean that right edge storyline, the Warriors right 276 00:12:30,773 --> 00:12:33,133 Speaker 2: edge struggles that I know the Warriors felt pretty hard 277 00:12:33,213 --> 00:12:36,093 Speaker 2: done by with that storyline in regards to Yeah, the 278 00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:37,333 Speaker 2: media sort of latching onto it. 279 00:12:37,453 --> 00:12:40,013 Speaker 3: True, but they came about when Rocco wasn't there. It did, 280 00:12:40,213 --> 00:12:42,013 Speaker 3: it did, and they had I think they've burned through. 281 00:12:43,093 --> 00:12:47,773 Speaker 3: I think they've had five different centers on the right 282 00:12:47,893 --> 00:12:50,053 Speaker 3: edge this season that that's a number in my mind. 283 00:12:50,093 --> 00:12:51,773 Speaker 3: But you know, they've had a lot, and they've had 284 00:12:51,773 --> 00:12:54,293 Speaker 3: a lot of different guys in second row and center 285 00:12:55,053 --> 00:12:58,813 Speaker 3: and now suddenly Roco. He seems quite polarizing in the 286 00:12:58,853 --> 00:13:01,173 Speaker 3: fan base. Is people who love them and people who think, ah, 287 00:13:01,813 --> 00:13:03,893 Speaker 3: people who are silly, he's a bit of a rated 288 00:13:03,973 --> 00:13:06,213 Speaker 3: or whatever. But now that he's back there, I think 289 00:13:06,933 --> 00:13:11,053 Speaker 3: you feel better about the next few games to come now. 290 00:13:11,173 --> 00:13:14,453 Speaker 2: Roger two Ivasak told Sky after the game, Barry didn't 291 00:13:14,493 --> 00:13:14,933 Speaker 2: miss a beat. 292 00:13:14,973 --> 00:13:15,653 Speaker 3: He's been for a lot. 293 00:13:15,693 --> 00:13:17,893 Speaker 6: You know, it's come back players fifty NRL game, it's. 294 00:13:17,853 --> 00:13:18,453 Speaker 3: Perform like there. 295 00:13:18,453 --> 00:13:20,493 Speaker 8: I think Rocco was massive, and our left edge is 296 00:13:20,613 --> 00:13:22,373 Speaker 8: just too strong, and I think one of the best 297 00:13:22,453 --> 00:13:23,013 Speaker 8: edges out. 298 00:13:22,853 --> 00:13:25,613 Speaker 3: There, one of the best edges out there. Yeah, and 299 00:13:25,693 --> 00:13:28,173 Speaker 3: he was talking about you know his edge, which which 300 00:13:28,293 --> 00:13:35,693 Speaker 3: is is Chanelle Pompey Roger and you have to say 301 00:13:35,813 --> 00:13:38,373 Speaker 3: that lifted just performing pretty damn well. There's been a 302 00:13:38,453 --> 00:13:41,133 Speaker 3: lot of tries down that edge. They've got a really 303 00:13:41,133 --> 00:13:44,373 Speaker 3: good fluency and because I've been the same guys there 304 00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:48,733 Speaker 3: for so long, so developing well. The defensively been pretty good, 305 00:13:48,813 --> 00:13:50,893 Speaker 3: not not out of this world, but pretty good. 306 00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:53,933 Speaker 2: But yeah, I do like that edge and those those 307 00:13:53,973 --> 00:13:56,573 Speaker 2: first two tries just slick hands. 308 00:13:56,613 --> 00:13:58,573 Speaker 3: You really want to see more of that. The way 309 00:13:59,013 --> 00:14:03,333 Speaker 3: the quick transfers of the ball that that's a that's 310 00:14:03,373 --> 00:14:04,133 Speaker 3: a promising sign. 311 00:14:04,293 --> 00:14:06,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, And speaking of let's go through this game in 312 00:14:06,493 --> 00:14:09,853 Speaker 2: a bit more detailed. Warriors coach Andrew Webster's pleased with 313 00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:10,973 Speaker 2: their all round performance. 314 00:14:11,013 --> 00:14:12,653 Speaker 8: I think we had some blips along the way, but 315 00:14:12,933 --> 00:14:15,733 Speaker 8: I was happy with our goal line defense, probably right 316 00:14:15,853 --> 00:14:18,653 Speaker 8: until probably at the end. We lost concentration there, but 317 00:14:19,093 --> 00:14:22,253 Speaker 8: we got ourselves back in control just through honestly great 318 00:14:22,333 --> 00:14:24,013 Speaker 8: kick chase, and I thought we played a really good 319 00:14:24,013 --> 00:14:24,573 Speaker 8: brand footy. 320 00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:27,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was really impressed with that first half. 321 00:14:27,853 --> 00:14:29,613 Speaker 2: The kicking game in the first half I thought was 322 00:14:29,613 --> 00:14:32,013 Speaker 2: really good from both Tanner and Chanell. I think Chanell's 323 00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,213 Speaker 2: showed quite a lot of improvement just over the last 324 00:14:34,253 --> 00:14:36,973 Speaker 2: few weeks in that area in terms of the positioning 325 00:14:37,013 --> 00:14:38,733 Speaker 2: of the bonds. Tanner had a really nice sort of 326 00:14:38,853 --> 00:14:42,613 Speaker 2: curved grubber that we're forcing sort of repeat sets and 327 00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:44,693 Speaker 2: the Titans to be tackled in their own end goal. 328 00:14:45,053 --> 00:14:48,093 Speaker 2: The Titans obviously weren't helping themselves. Fifteen eras they were 329 00:14:48,173 --> 00:14:49,893 Speaker 2: choosing to throw the ball around and why not in 330 00:14:50,053 --> 00:14:52,133 Speaker 2: your bottom of the ladder. But there are a few 331 00:14:52,173 --> 00:14:55,613 Speaker 2: head scratches I suppose there from a Titans perspective, but 332 00:14:55,773 --> 00:14:59,933 Speaker 2: just on Tanner and Chanelle, they had the really good 333 00:14:59,933 --> 00:15:03,613 Speaker 2: performance as a combination. Still some concerns for me about 334 00:15:04,013 --> 00:15:06,653 Speaker 2: their ruthlessness in the twenty because the Warriors had a 335 00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:10,093 Speaker 2: lot of ball in that twenty and there was a 336 00:15:10,173 --> 00:15:12,293 Speaker 2: period going into the most of the second half where 337 00:15:12,293 --> 00:15:14,053 Speaker 2: they weren't scoring a lot of points coming out of it. 338 00:15:14,133 --> 00:15:17,133 Speaker 2: There was a long gap between tries in the game 339 00:15:17,493 --> 00:15:20,893 Speaker 2: and a few inaccurate kicks. Improvement overall, though, What did 340 00:15:20,933 --> 00:15:21,493 Speaker 2: you make of them? 341 00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:25,333 Speaker 3: They were good? Andrew Webbs has said after the game, 342 00:15:26,093 --> 00:15:27,613 Speaker 3: I think he brought it up. It was a question 343 00:15:27,693 --> 00:15:29,213 Speaker 3: he brought it up. But it was probably their best 344 00:15:29,213 --> 00:15:32,053 Speaker 3: performance as a combination, So I think's about right. I mean, 345 00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:35,253 Speaker 3: they've had what four or five games. Really good response 346 00:15:35,293 --> 00:15:36,733 Speaker 3: from Tanner because he had been under a lot of 347 00:15:36,773 --> 00:15:40,293 Speaker 3: pressure playing the Titans again getting dropped two weeks ago. 348 00:15:40,853 --> 00:15:42,773 Speaker 3: Now you feel like he's not going to get dropped again. 349 00:15:42,813 --> 00:15:45,573 Speaker 2: He's there, he's the guy, and he's getting more confidence 350 00:15:45,613 --> 00:15:47,213 Speaker 2: we're sort of forgetting that he's. 351 00:15:47,133 --> 00:15:49,813 Speaker 3: Only played I should know this, Nathan, I should know this. 352 00:15:50,013 --> 00:15:53,573 Speaker 3: Was he played six games or something, seven six, so 353 00:15:54,213 --> 00:15:56,853 Speaker 3: it's not much. And he's trying to run the team. 354 00:15:56,893 --> 00:15:59,173 Speaker 3: He's got the keys to the car, as Webbs has said, 355 00:15:59,253 --> 00:16:03,133 Speaker 3: So he's getting better. But you're exactly right, there's still 356 00:16:03,133 --> 00:16:06,413 Speaker 3: a concern like that first quarters red hot, second quarter 357 00:16:06,493 --> 00:16:09,133 Speaker 3: a lot of ball didn't do that much, and then 358 00:16:09,213 --> 00:16:12,853 Speaker 3: that third quarter where they had chances as well, and 359 00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:16,613 Speaker 3: I felt like they're working the red zone. You contrast 360 00:16:16,653 --> 00:16:18,893 Speaker 3: to what the big teams do in the red zone 361 00:16:18,933 --> 00:16:21,813 Speaker 3: and what they were doing some of it. It's got 362 00:16:21,893 --> 00:16:23,333 Speaker 3: to get a lot better, you know, it's got to 363 00:16:23,333 --> 00:16:27,333 Speaker 3: get a lot better for when the business ends comes 364 00:16:27,373 --> 00:16:30,573 Speaker 3: and that if you if we're back over the episodes 365 00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:33,333 Speaker 3: of the podcast this year, I'd say a lot of 366 00:16:33,453 --> 00:16:38,253 Speaker 3: our topics, our themes have been around the attack. How 367 00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:40,173 Speaker 3: can you prove the attack? How can you get more 368 00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:42,333 Speaker 3: out of it? Because defensively most of the season are 369 00:16:42,333 --> 00:16:45,493 Speaker 3: worries me good. So that's still the theme and it's 370 00:16:45,973 --> 00:16:49,373 Speaker 3: it's not a surprise new spine new six and seven, 371 00:16:50,173 --> 00:16:53,853 Speaker 3: but you know, let's hope they continue to just improve 372 00:16:54,973 --> 00:16:56,013 Speaker 3: steadily in that area. 373 00:16:56,253 --> 00:16:59,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've actually got that clip you're talking about here, Burge. 374 00:16:59,493 --> 00:17:03,013 Speaker 2: We're still believing the combination between Harris de Vita and Boyd. 375 00:17:03,053 --> 00:17:04,733 Speaker 2: Their best game is a six and seven. 376 00:17:04,813 --> 00:17:07,773 Speaker 8: They've worked really hard on the detail and combining communicating well. 377 00:17:07,973 --> 00:17:11,613 Speaker 8: I love they both ran football and I thought when 378 00:17:11,693 --> 00:17:13,773 Speaker 8: we looked best, they were in control of the game. 379 00:17:14,213 --> 00:17:14,453 Speaker 3: Tanner. 380 00:17:14,453 --> 00:17:16,813 Speaker 2: Boyd also six from six off the tee as well, 381 00:17:16,853 --> 00:17:19,733 Speaker 2: which when you're heading towards the playoffs, that's going to 382 00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:23,773 Speaker 2: be really crucial, not giving away points potentially off the tee. 383 00:17:23,813 --> 00:17:27,013 Speaker 2: And I like the Warriors' willingness to go to the 384 00:17:27,093 --> 00:17:29,573 Speaker 2: posts from penalties. Two points is half a try. Do 385 00:17:29,653 --> 00:17:31,333 Speaker 2: that a couple of times you've scored an extra try. 386 00:17:31,653 --> 00:17:34,213 Speaker 2: I'm quite happy with that strategy, especially when they're up 387 00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:35,333 Speaker 2: by ten twelve. 388 00:17:35,933 --> 00:17:38,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, it depends. I hated it when they did it 389 00:17:38,053 --> 00:17:40,333 Speaker 3: against the Bulldogs and in the first five minutes is 390 00:17:40,373 --> 00:17:43,013 Speaker 3: like Neil Nel and they kick a penalty. Yeah, but 391 00:17:43,093 --> 00:17:45,813 Speaker 3: the conditions Yeah, but far out it's like a sort 392 00:17:45,853 --> 00:17:48,213 Speaker 3: of a it's like, oh, we can't We're not going 393 00:17:48,253 --> 00:17:49,493 Speaker 3: to score a try here, so we aren't going to 394 00:17:49,533 --> 00:17:51,333 Speaker 3: try far out first five minutes, you've got to go 395 00:17:51,413 --> 00:17:53,053 Speaker 3: for it. The one on Saturday was a bit different. 396 00:17:53,053 --> 00:17:55,533 Speaker 3: It's kind of okay. They were twelve up so they 397 00:17:55,573 --> 00:17:59,453 Speaker 3: went to fourteen. Not bad, but you're right there were 398 00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:02,053 Speaker 3: seeing Patentny and a'rel of teams taking the two more 399 00:18:02,093 --> 00:18:05,053 Speaker 3: and more because the value of the two points, as 400 00:18:05,133 --> 00:18:09,773 Speaker 3: you say, it's it's always a debatable one. But Tanner Boyd, 401 00:18:09,813 --> 00:18:12,933 Speaker 3: the way he was striking the ball on Saturday, every 402 00:18:13,013 --> 00:18:17,093 Speaker 3: single conversion was like like I'd love one of my 403 00:18:17,133 --> 00:18:20,333 Speaker 3: golf things to be. It was just beautiful, just just 404 00:18:20,573 --> 00:18:24,893 Speaker 3: absolutely you know, clipping it so sweetly. So that's a 405 00:18:24,973 --> 00:18:27,773 Speaker 3: really good sign, as you say, because when the big 406 00:18:27,853 --> 00:18:31,133 Speaker 3: games come, if you're converting every try, it's such a 407 00:18:31,173 --> 00:18:33,733 Speaker 3: big difference. So he'll stay as the number one goal kicker. 408 00:18:34,093 --> 00:18:38,173 Speaker 3: They won't be going back to Adam Pompey and that 409 00:18:38,413 --> 00:18:40,973 Speaker 3: adds another string to their bow. 410 00:18:42,373 --> 00:18:44,653 Speaker 2: And you mentioned the Warriors attack before and how that's 411 00:18:44,693 --> 00:18:46,973 Speaker 2: been a bit of a theme this year, and I 412 00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,333 Speaker 2: brought up the lack of ruthlessness. Perhaps I think where 413 00:18:50,373 --> 00:18:52,213 Speaker 2: at the point of the season now, with two games 414 00:18:52,253 --> 00:18:55,173 Speaker 2: to go, they're not going to get markedly better in 415 00:18:55,293 --> 00:18:58,493 Speaker 2: terms of that ruthlessness. I think that you know, Tanner 416 00:18:58,533 --> 00:19:00,333 Speaker 2: Boyd is a much different player to Luke Metcalfe. He 417 00:19:00,333 --> 00:19:02,933 Speaker 2: doesn't have the same X factor and that's just the 418 00:19:03,013 --> 00:19:05,773 Speaker 2: reality of it. However, they can make up for that 419 00:19:06,133 --> 00:19:09,293 Speaker 2: with their with accurate kicking and solid defense. And what 420 00:19:09,373 --> 00:19:11,813 Speaker 2: we saw in the first half was that accurate kicking 421 00:19:11,893 --> 00:19:15,373 Speaker 2: in terms of forcing those repeat sex and that, and 422 00:19:15,493 --> 00:19:17,133 Speaker 2: that went away in the second half and then we. 423 00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:18,453 Speaker 3: Saw the Titans get a couple of tries. 424 00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:20,253 Speaker 2: Right, So for me, that is the area in which 425 00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:22,293 Speaker 2: they make up Fine, if you can't run through the 426 00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:24,013 Speaker 2: entire team, that's that's totally fine. 427 00:19:24,013 --> 00:19:24,773 Speaker 3: You're not their player. 428 00:19:25,053 --> 00:19:27,213 Speaker 2: But let's keep it consistent with the kicking and the 429 00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:29,373 Speaker 2: defense to back it up to kick chase, that will 430 00:19:29,413 --> 00:19:30,133 Speaker 2: make up for it for me. 431 00:19:30,933 --> 00:19:33,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, if they if they took all those other boxes 432 00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:36,533 Speaker 3: that have made them such a solid team, Like I 433 00:19:36,613 --> 00:19:39,373 Speaker 3: think for most of the year, they've led the completions, 434 00:19:39,373 --> 00:19:41,613 Speaker 3: haven't they. So the lead completions, they kick well, they 435 00:19:41,693 --> 00:19:44,373 Speaker 3: chase well. Every coach you talk to after a match, 436 00:19:44,453 --> 00:19:46,973 Speaker 3: especially when the Warriors beat them, will say, oh, they're 437 00:19:46,973 --> 00:19:50,013 Speaker 3: a hard team to play against because they don't make mistakes. 438 00:19:50,133 --> 00:19:52,973 Speaker 3: They're very consistent. If we said that, I would like 439 00:19:53,013 --> 00:19:56,453 Speaker 3: to see them add just just a few more angled 440 00:19:56,533 --> 00:20:01,733 Speaker 3: runs plays, inside balls, double rounds, variation, that kind of thing, 441 00:20:01,773 --> 00:20:03,693 Speaker 3: because they've they've got the skill to do it, and 442 00:20:03,813 --> 00:20:06,653 Speaker 3: you saw a bit of it on Saturday. So it's 443 00:20:06,693 --> 00:20:08,253 Speaker 3: the odd story they get me mentum to the ruck. 444 00:20:08,533 --> 00:20:10,333 Speaker 3: They can look really good. I take your point. They're 445 00:20:10,373 --> 00:20:13,653 Speaker 3: not going to suddenly become the Melbourne Storm or the 446 00:20:13,733 --> 00:20:16,613 Speaker 3: Penrith Panthers overnight the way they work their red zone. 447 00:20:16,853 --> 00:20:21,173 Speaker 3: But let's hope they can still improve in that area. 448 00:20:21,453 --> 00:20:23,853 Speaker 2: Just a shout out to to Chanceticker Cook Start and 449 00:20:24,013 --> 00:20:26,413 Speaker 2: Roger to Ivasda Shecheku a standout in the absence of 450 00:20:26,493 --> 00:20:28,973 Speaker 2: Jackson Ford who obviously someone who makes a lot of 451 00:20:29,013 --> 00:20:31,413 Speaker 2: tackles and has a lot of you know, one off 452 00:20:31,493 --> 00:20:33,973 Speaker 2: runs up the middle that worries missing much Barnett, those 453 00:20:33,973 --> 00:20:37,973 Speaker 2: sort of ball runners. Rts with nineteen carries, Chancelli could 454 00:20:37,973 --> 00:20:40,893 Speaker 2: Cook Start with twenty two them leading that in artes 455 00:20:40,893 --> 00:20:42,733 Speaker 2: be two hundred and forty five run meters. 456 00:20:43,813 --> 00:20:47,933 Speaker 3: Birch, What do you make of chance versus Taine? Yeah, yeah, 457 00:20:48,453 --> 00:20:50,413 Speaker 3: we talked about artsl last week, so we don't need 458 00:20:50,453 --> 00:20:52,973 Speaker 3: to re litigate that, but he's been amazing this season. 459 00:20:53,213 --> 00:20:55,493 Speaker 3: Chance versus Taine is an interesting one for me because 460 00:20:56,053 --> 00:20:58,053 Speaker 3: you know what Chance springs, and he brought a lot 461 00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:02,133 Speaker 3: on Saturday. The meters, Like you say, the carries. He's 462 00:21:02,213 --> 00:21:06,173 Speaker 3: so solid, work so hard, but Taine does have that 463 00:21:06,453 --> 00:21:08,373 Speaker 3: hint of X fact that does even on attack, and 464 00:21:08,453 --> 00:21:12,613 Speaker 3: that's that's the real we'ves is not going to change things, 465 00:21:12,733 --> 00:21:16,213 Speaker 3: but that is definitely that right edge looks more dangerous 466 00:21:16,213 --> 00:21:20,093 Speaker 3: when Taine's there compared to Chance. How Chance does things 467 00:21:20,213 --> 00:21:22,493 Speaker 3: just because I guess Tane's a bit quicker he holds 468 00:21:22,493 --> 00:21:25,573 Speaker 3: at the defensive line. So that's another piece of the 469 00:21:25,653 --> 00:21:28,533 Speaker 3: puzzle because I felt like Chance was creating a lot 470 00:21:28,613 --> 00:21:30,773 Speaker 3: more back in twenty twenty three. He was creating things 471 00:21:30,813 --> 00:21:34,493 Speaker 3: down that right edge. Tryasis scoring tries. We haven't seen 472 00:21:34,533 --> 00:21:39,053 Speaker 3: that so much. Hopefully as again, hopefully that comes. I 473 00:21:39,133 --> 00:21:40,973 Speaker 3: think he still won't be carrying a Niggel two chance, 474 00:21:41,093 --> 00:21:43,613 Speaker 3: but you're so important overall for the team. 475 00:21:44,693 --> 00:21:47,453 Speaker 2: What did you make of Eddie Ilamir Toy he got 476 00:21:47,493 --> 00:21:50,093 Speaker 2: his first try. I think he's been solid and he's 477 00:21:50,133 --> 00:21:52,773 Speaker 2: had what three appearances great, so I think I've really 478 00:21:52,973 --> 00:21:55,373 Speaker 2: liked his impact and the impact of the bench overall. 479 00:21:55,693 --> 00:21:57,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, for a young guy to come in like he's 480 00:21:57,693 --> 00:21:59,453 Speaker 3: come in at a hard time of the season, like 481 00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:04,613 Speaker 3: pressure's on that Dragon's game was immense, pressure Saturday was pressure, 482 00:22:05,373 --> 00:22:08,213 Speaker 3: the Titans game, the Dolphins game. But he just goes 483 00:22:08,373 --> 00:22:12,973 Speaker 3: for it and really nice, really nice try so. He 484 00:22:13,053 --> 00:22:15,493 Speaker 3: looks a good one, he really does. I think he 485 00:22:15,533 --> 00:22:17,733 Speaker 3: can play a few positions. I'm pretty sure they've used 486 00:22:17,813 --> 00:22:21,133 Speaker 3: him in the bloody in the centers in New so 487 00:22:21,253 --> 00:22:23,613 Speaker 3: far was cut from member once or twice. But he's 488 00:22:23,613 --> 00:22:27,333 Speaker 3: a middle Ford but looking really really good. So another 489 00:22:27,813 --> 00:22:29,893 Speaker 3: another one to I do that The bench impact has 490 00:22:29,893 --> 00:22:33,253 Speaker 3: been great all season, hasn't it, Which is ironic because 491 00:22:33,293 --> 00:22:34,733 Speaker 3: we were worried about that. I remember you and I 492 00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:38,213 Speaker 3: talking in the about the fourth podcast when Dylan Walker left. 493 00:22:39,813 --> 00:22:41,613 Speaker 3: Dylan's our man, He's our impact man. 494 00:22:43,173 --> 00:22:45,293 Speaker 2: He's the one who's come into that number fourteen Jersey 495 00:22:45,373 --> 00:22:46,693 Speaker 2: and he's adaptable in every role. 496 00:22:46,773 --> 00:22:49,053 Speaker 3: Not the same player, not the same player. But I 497 00:22:49,173 --> 00:22:54,093 Speaker 3: feel like Dylan has been replaced by Demetric and Lequa 498 00:22:54,173 --> 00:22:57,173 Speaker 3: with that sort of an aeron I guess does a 499 00:22:57,213 --> 00:22:58,853 Speaker 3: bit of it too, but just coming off the bench 500 00:22:58,933 --> 00:23:01,773 Speaker 3: and rolling up the middle and some nice ball playing. 501 00:23:02,613 --> 00:23:04,333 Speaker 3: I did notice a lot of chat about Lecker because 502 00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:07,613 Speaker 3: he hasn't played as much. He was on the bench 503 00:23:08,413 --> 00:23:11,653 Speaker 3: change on Saturday and only came on I think early 504 00:23:11,693 --> 00:23:14,653 Speaker 3: in the second half. Member of the second half. Didn't 505 00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:16,453 Speaker 3: get that much time against the Dragons. They took him 506 00:23:16,493 --> 00:23:17,933 Speaker 3: off and didn't put them on towards the end. But 507 00:23:18,013 --> 00:23:20,133 Speaker 3: I don't mind that because I feel like he just 508 00:23:20,253 --> 00:23:22,333 Speaker 3: needs a bit of recharging, like we all do at times, 509 00:23:22,413 --> 00:23:25,253 Speaker 3: you know, you you get tired mentally physically. So I 510 00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:28,293 Speaker 3: can see him coming back really strongly, maybe this week, 511 00:23:28,373 --> 00:23:30,653 Speaker 3: next week or in the finals, and that's when we 512 00:23:30,733 --> 00:23:32,373 Speaker 3: need him, you know, because I just got annoyed. But 513 00:23:32,413 --> 00:23:35,933 Speaker 3: the bloody commentators going on about, oh, he hasn't done 514 00:23:36,013 --> 00:23:39,373 Speaker 3: much lately the last few weeks and he's nineteen years old, 515 00:23:39,413 --> 00:23:41,133 Speaker 3: but you want him to just set the world on 516 00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:44,893 Speaker 3: fire every week, you know, just drop him, drop him? Washed, 517 00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:47,933 Speaker 3: I find it, so I think it's smart. I think 518 00:23:48,293 --> 00:23:51,053 Speaker 3: Webster must know he needs a bit of a break. 519 00:23:51,413 --> 00:23:54,093 Speaker 3: But watch out, just watch out, and just a wrap. 520 00:23:54,253 --> 00:23:59,453 Speaker 2: No injuries, no one on a report, no injuries, don't 521 00:23:59,453 --> 00:24:01,533 Speaker 2: where are we were in almost September. 522 00:24:01,893 --> 00:24:03,893 Speaker 3: No injuries, no on a report. This is well, there's 523 00:24:03,893 --> 00:24:05,773 Speaker 3: still a long list of injuries, but not from that game. 524 00:24:05,933 --> 00:24:09,413 Speaker 3: That's this is great, This is great, times amazing. 525 00:24:11,613 --> 00:24:14,573 Speaker 2: Okay, the Warriors host the Eels on Friday night at 526 00:24:14,613 --> 00:24:17,573 Speaker 2: Mount Smart for the first time this year. Bird they're 527 00:24:17,573 --> 00:24:19,453 Speaker 2: playing the Eels, which is crazy because I feel like 528 00:24:19,493 --> 00:24:21,333 Speaker 2: we've played the Titans about seven times. 529 00:24:22,813 --> 00:24:24,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny how the draw works out. You play 530 00:24:24,653 --> 00:24:28,093 Speaker 3: sometimes twice and then the teams you play once to 531 00:24:28,253 --> 00:24:30,013 Speaker 3: not play them until now. And it's kind of a 532 00:24:30,173 --> 00:24:33,013 Speaker 3: shame to be playing them now because the Paramettera were awful. 533 00:24:33,493 --> 00:24:36,933 Speaker 3: They were awful in March, Abril, June, July, June, and 534 00:24:36,973 --> 00:24:39,213 Speaker 3: now they're looking quite good. They're looking like the Paramettera 535 00:24:39,293 --> 00:24:41,853 Speaker 3: we come to know over the last few years. They've 536 00:24:41,853 --> 00:24:47,293 Speaker 3: got their mojo back. So good challenge. But on another way, 537 00:24:47,373 --> 00:24:49,333 Speaker 3: you want a good challenge, like you want to play 538 00:24:49,373 --> 00:24:52,453 Speaker 3: a good team because the Warriors don't want to limp 539 00:24:52,493 --> 00:24:53,773 Speaker 3: to the playoffs, so I want to come into the 540 00:24:53,773 --> 00:24:54,893 Speaker 3: playoffs with some momentum. 541 00:24:55,013 --> 00:24:58,613 Speaker 2: So well, i'd rather play a crap team. I'd rather 542 00:24:58,653 --> 00:25:01,613 Speaker 2: play a crap team and skip the win. But Anyway, 543 00:25:01,693 --> 00:25:03,653 Speaker 2: as you said, they've come into form. Let me take 544 00:25:03,693 --> 00:25:06,213 Speaker 2: you through the situation. The Eels at fourteenth on the 545 00:25:06,333 --> 00:25:09,213 Speaker 2: ladder with eight wins and fourteen losses, but they've been 546 00:25:09,293 --> 00:25:11,013 Speaker 2: much better on the second half of the season since 547 00:25:11,053 --> 00:25:14,093 Speaker 2: the return of Mitchell Moses. They're coming off a thirty 548 00:25:14,133 --> 00:25:17,773 Speaker 2: to ten hiding of the Roosters who had been surging 549 00:25:17,893 --> 00:25:21,293 Speaker 2: burg exactly. They've won three of the last five games 550 00:25:21,333 --> 00:25:24,133 Speaker 2: and the two losses were close losses to the rabbit 551 00:25:24,213 --> 00:25:28,933 Speaker 2: O's and the Storm. Moses and Josh Papalti the Haves. 552 00:25:29,013 --> 00:25:30,853 Speaker 2: Josh had a car who had a double against the 553 00:25:30,973 --> 00:25:33,933 Speaker 2: Roosters is on one wing, Zach Lomax, state of origin 554 00:25:33,973 --> 00:25:38,213 Speaker 2: player on the other. Former Warrior Dylan Walker is in 555 00:25:38,373 --> 00:25:41,693 Speaker 2: the squad and you know he'll play out of his skin, 556 00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:43,853 Speaker 2: won't you. First time back at Mount Smart. 557 00:25:43,933 --> 00:25:44,293 Speaker 3: There you go. 558 00:25:45,133 --> 00:25:47,533 Speaker 2: And Dylan Brown, who has been moved into the centers. 559 00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:49,373 Speaker 2: Is that because he's signed with the Knights that are 560 00:25:49,373 --> 00:25:50,093 Speaker 2: they punishing him? 561 00:25:50,253 --> 00:25:53,813 Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, Old, I find that really wein in rugby league, Like, 562 00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:57,253 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know what you think, but okay, 563 00:25:57,293 --> 00:26:00,293 Speaker 3: he's moving on. But he just would not see that 564 00:26:00,453 --> 00:26:04,253 Speaker 3: in football that you just stopped using someone I don't know, 565 00:26:04,773 --> 00:26:06,973 Speaker 3: and they want to you know, blood someone for next year. 566 00:26:07,053 --> 00:26:09,893 Speaker 3: But I guess they're out of the playoffs. Maybe answered 567 00:26:09,893 --> 00:26:10,293 Speaker 3: my question. 568 00:26:10,373 --> 00:26:12,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it has been weird since right, Like 569 00:26:12,893 --> 00:26:15,053 Speaker 2: they haven't they they're not going to make them buayoffs, 570 00:26:15,093 --> 00:26:17,613 Speaker 2: so will just be a way that way. 571 00:26:17,693 --> 00:26:19,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it has been weird seeing himt since he's 572 00:26:19,813 --> 00:26:23,013 Speaker 3: done it right at center. And they'll be dangerous man. 573 00:26:23,053 --> 00:26:25,653 Speaker 3: And I can remember the Paramatta. I think they came 574 00:26:25,813 --> 00:26:27,893 Speaker 3: here last year and spoiled the party. Yes they did. 575 00:26:28,013 --> 00:26:31,413 Speaker 3: They beat the Warriors walking last year and a couple 576 00:26:31,493 --> 00:26:35,213 Speaker 3: other times, so they they won't have any fear. It 577 00:26:35,213 --> 00:26:36,373 Speaker 3: would be a good challenge. 578 00:26:36,493 --> 00:26:39,733 Speaker 2: Are there any in particular areas that the Eels will 579 00:26:39,853 --> 00:26:43,253 Speaker 2: threaten the Warriors? I mean, I'm quite happy not to. 580 00:26:43,373 --> 00:26:45,533 Speaker 2: I mean we've talked through the Warriors performance quite a lot. 581 00:26:45,533 --> 00:26:47,813 Speaker 2: I don't think there's going to be any major team 582 00:26:47,893 --> 00:26:50,373 Speaker 2: changes from a from a warrior's perspective. But what do 583 00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:52,973 Speaker 2: they have to look out for as opposed to the 584 00:26:53,093 --> 00:26:53,693 Speaker 2: Titans game? 585 00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:58,333 Speaker 3: Oh well, the Eels have got a really good structure 586 00:26:58,653 --> 00:27:01,573 Speaker 3: and the Titans have got Titans no structure. 587 00:27:02,453 --> 00:27:04,973 Speaker 2: They're really unstructured, aren't they. But the Eels, especially with 588 00:27:05,053 --> 00:27:08,173 Speaker 2: Moses he's here, I'll just throw the ball, yeah he sure. 589 00:27:08,533 --> 00:27:14,293 Speaker 3: Easier structure, guys, a really good structure, some nice dangerous 590 00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,893 Speaker 3: on the edge. But I feel like the Warriors can 591 00:27:16,933 --> 00:27:19,013 Speaker 3: get them in the forwards. I feel like if the 592 00:27:19,053 --> 00:27:21,013 Speaker 3: Warrior's forwards get rolling, that's where they get them. They 593 00:27:21,093 --> 00:27:23,773 Speaker 3: get them in the forwards, established dominance there and it 594 00:27:23,893 --> 00:27:26,693 Speaker 3: rolls on. But it won't be easy. It will not 595 00:27:26,813 --> 00:27:29,653 Speaker 3: be easy with their structure. And also Moses has got 596 00:27:29,693 --> 00:27:33,893 Speaker 3: a fantastic kicking game. So I'm fearing and sensing another 597 00:27:34,013 --> 00:27:35,933 Speaker 3: nervous one. Nathan, me too. 598 00:27:36,453 --> 00:27:38,573 Speaker 2: I'm actually way more nervous about this than the Titans 599 00:27:38,653 --> 00:27:39,173 Speaker 2: games somehow. 600 00:27:40,053 --> 00:27:41,613 Speaker 3: But there we have it. We'll see what happens. 601 00:27:44,693 --> 00:27:49,573 Speaker 4: The Big League on the Warriors Bad Wagons since day one, 602 00:27:51,533 --> 00:27:54,693 Speaker 4: the Big League Podcast for the Biggest League fans. 603 00:27:55,813 --> 00:27:58,173 Speaker 2: Well, we'll rattle through quick fire predictions, but we don't 604 00:27:58,173 --> 00:28:00,853 Speaker 2: need a labor on our picks from last week. 605 00:28:01,093 --> 00:28:03,533 Speaker 3: Yes, we can just mess with it, can we please? 606 00:28:05,413 --> 00:28:09,413 Speaker 3: I didn't check them, okay, I remember was you tipping 607 00:28:09,693 --> 00:28:14,613 Speaker 3: the who did you get the Dragons to beat the Rabbits? 608 00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:17,253 Speaker 3: Which was a good one. What was the What was 609 00:28:17,293 --> 00:28:18,293 Speaker 3: the final score of that game? 610 00:28:20,693 --> 00:28:22,693 Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I picked the Dolphins 611 00:28:22,693 --> 00:28:26,333 Speaker 7: pretty sure too. So you know, fifty eight points. It 612 00:28:26,453 --> 00:28:29,973 Speaker 7: was tackling optional in that game. Ninety eight points in 613 00:28:30,053 --> 00:28:31,013 Speaker 7: an NRL game. 614 00:28:31,893 --> 00:28:34,213 Speaker 3: I walked into work because I was coming in for commentary. 615 00:28:34,253 --> 00:28:37,053 Speaker 3: I saw the score. I was like, what happened? Yeah, 616 00:28:37,093 --> 00:28:41,573 Speaker 3: that's that's touch rugby mat, that's that's it's that's it's crazy. 617 00:28:41,733 --> 00:28:44,613 Speaker 3: That is crazy. Although we also, I think we're also 618 00:28:44,733 --> 00:28:49,293 Speaker 3: both of us supposed exits experts banging on about how 619 00:28:49,333 --> 00:28:52,533 Speaker 3: Manly's gone. They're all over and look now now Manly's looking. No. 620 00:28:52,653 --> 00:28:56,453 Speaker 3: I stand by that. Yeah, so I think your tips 621 00:28:56,493 --> 00:28:58,653 Speaker 3: wereent great, but you know, we we all have weeks. 622 00:28:58,693 --> 00:29:00,013 Speaker 3: Would rather get. 623 00:28:59,973 --> 00:29:04,013 Speaker 2: Back Bulldogs Panthers on your favorite Thursday night burg again 624 00:29:04,093 --> 00:29:06,333 Speaker 2: the headline game ten o'clock on a Thursday. 625 00:29:06,173 --> 00:29:08,293 Speaker 3: Is such a waste, such a waste. Actually, you tipped 626 00:29:08,293 --> 00:29:09,893 Speaker 3: the Raiders, So there you go. You did the Raiders 627 00:29:09,973 --> 00:29:11,973 Speaker 3: to beat the Panthers. I'm pretty sure. Did I think 628 00:29:12,013 --> 00:29:16,373 Speaker 3: it would sound like me? I'll take it. Bull Dogs Panthers, Panthers, 629 00:29:16,773 --> 00:29:19,093 Speaker 3: they just sending you playing everyone lately, haven't they played 630 00:29:19,173 --> 00:29:21,693 Speaker 3: the storm Yep, the. 631 00:29:23,493 --> 00:29:26,093 Speaker 2: Bulldogs they lost to the Raiders. They lost to the Storm. 632 00:29:26,133 --> 00:29:30,413 Speaker 2: They're on a two game losing streaks. See, this is 633 00:29:30,413 --> 00:29:32,173 Speaker 2: why they've searched up the ladders because actually they were 634 00:29:32,173 --> 00:29:34,973 Speaker 2: playing all the crap teams, so they're not actually that good. 635 00:29:35,613 --> 00:29:38,613 Speaker 3: I think the Panthers will bounce back here, but the 636 00:29:38,693 --> 00:29:41,133 Speaker 3: Bulldogs coming off the loss as well to the Storm, 637 00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:44,333 Speaker 3: so this will be really really good game. The last 638 00:29:44,373 --> 00:29:48,653 Speaker 3: game between these two was decided by Nathan Cleary charged 639 00:29:48,733 --> 00:29:50,773 Speaker 3: down for a try. This will be beauty. I think 640 00:29:50,813 --> 00:29:52,413 Speaker 3: the last game is two points. Will be close again, 641 00:29:52,693 --> 00:29:55,013 Speaker 3: but I'll go for penrith. I am going to agree 642 00:29:55,053 --> 00:30:00,173 Speaker 3: with you Warriors versus the Eels. Surely smart, Surely here 643 00:30:00,253 --> 00:30:04,133 Speaker 3: we go. Surely the DV bitter Auckland Warriors. 644 00:30:04,853 --> 00:30:07,213 Speaker 2: Someone to just take Moses' head off in the first 645 00:30:07,293 --> 00:30:12,013 Speaker 2: four minutes, stretch it off the field, so they'll suspend 646 00:30:12,053 --> 00:30:13,733 Speaker 2: the players for basically nothing, so. 647 00:30:13,773 --> 00:30:17,013 Speaker 3: We may as well get something for it. Yeah, if 648 00:30:17,053 --> 00:30:19,253 Speaker 3: they start well, they'll win, that's the key. Start well, 649 00:30:19,333 --> 00:30:20,893 Speaker 3: have a good first half hour, they'll gone with it. 650 00:30:21,613 --> 00:30:24,253 Speaker 3: No injuries players coming back, they should be all right. 651 00:30:24,453 --> 00:30:27,293 Speaker 3: But they have to play well. Eels are dangerous, no doubt. 652 00:30:28,453 --> 00:30:32,293 Speaker 3: Storm roosters again, Roosters got a hiding from the eels. 653 00:30:32,653 --> 00:30:35,493 Speaker 3: Yeah and weird. Like you said, the roosters have been 654 00:30:35,653 --> 00:30:37,413 Speaker 3: they've been looking really good. They've been looking at Wow, 655 00:30:37,493 --> 00:30:41,613 Speaker 3: they're coming, They're coming down the back straight. I can't 656 00:30:41,613 --> 00:30:45,053 Speaker 3: say they've beating the storm though, the storm not at home. 657 00:30:45,173 --> 00:30:46,573 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to be a very special team 658 00:30:46,613 --> 00:30:49,853 Speaker 3: to beat the storm at home. No disagreements so far. 659 00:30:50,013 --> 00:30:54,613 Speaker 2: Raiders, Tigers, Raiders with one of the greatest Golden Point 660 00:30:54,733 --> 00:30:57,813 Speaker 2: victories of all time. I think Cleary's field goal bounces 661 00:30:57,813 --> 00:31:00,253 Speaker 2: off the left up right, collected by the Raiders and 662 00:31:00,293 --> 00:31:03,613 Speaker 2: they go nineteen meters and Kyle Weeks schoes the winning try. 663 00:31:03,733 --> 00:31:06,893 Speaker 3: It's just crazy. Like I'm not a fan of Golden Point. 664 00:31:07,653 --> 00:31:10,773 Speaker 3: I hate it, but if there was no golden Golden Point, 665 00:31:10,773 --> 00:31:14,493 Speaker 3: you wouldn't get a moment like that. Bude. Yeah, I 666 00:31:14,613 --> 00:31:17,213 Speaker 3: still like the drawer. But yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, I mean, 667 00:31:17,373 --> 00:31:20,173 Speaker 3: I mean, well what I like is Golden Point. Now, 668 00:31:20,733 --> 00:31:26,013 Speaker 3: let's not start, let's not start Ers. Raiders. Yeah, Raiders, Raiders. 669 00:31:26,813 --> 00:31:29,333 Speaker 3: Raiders are looking great. They're looking at the green machine 670 00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:31,653 Speaker 3: of old Tigers were good too against the Cowboys, really good. 671 00:31:32,773 --> 00:31:35,933 Speaker 3: But the Raiders will have such a be on such 672 00:31:35,933 --> 00:31:37,453 Speaker 3: a high after the way they were in that game 673 00:31:38,133 --> 00:31:38,733 Speaker 3: at home too. 674 00:31:38,933 --> 00:31:42,773 Speaker 2: Dragons Seagulls far I guess, I guess you picked the 675 00:31:42,893 --> 00:31:45,613 Speaker 2: Seagulls now, don't you? If they put fifty eight on 676 00:31:45,653 --> 00:31:48,133 Speaker 2: the Dolphins and the Dragons shelled forty to the. 677 00:31:49,773 --> 00:31:53,013 Speaker 3: Points? Yeah, I mean we had to talk about the Dragons. 678 00:31:53,053 --> 00:31:55,293 Speaker 3: They had those three players. Can cuss they're getting missing players. 679 00:31:55,573 --> 00:31:58,773 Speaker 2: I'm sure they front up and bounce back, but forty points, 680 00:31:58,893 --> 00:32:00,573 Speaker 2: but that's no excuse. 681 00:32:00,653 --> 00:32:01,813 Speaker 3: I'll go with the Seagulls here. 682 00:32:02,773 --> 00:32:06,533 Speaker 2: Still no disagreements Cowboys Broncos. I feel like I'm going 683 00:32:06,573 --> 00:32:09,893 Speaker 2: with every favorite here. This is not exactly courageous or insightful, isn't. 684 00:32:10,533 --> 00:32:12,933 Speaker 2: The Broncos are coming off of a forty six point 685 00:32:13,173 --> 00:32:15,973 Speaker 2: hiding of the forty six twelve they beat the Knights. 686 00:32:16,093 --> 00:32:19,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, the poor Knights. I mean, Cowboys coming in for 687 00:32:19,253 --> 00:32:21,493 Speaker 3: a really good window, so this should be close. Cowboys 688 00:32:21,613 --> 00:32:24,013 Speaker 3: shod a lot of guts to beat the Tigers at 689 00:32:24,213 --> 00:32:26,333 Speaker 3: like and come back from a big deficit in the 690 00:32:26,373 --> 00:32:28,813 Speaker 3: second half. I think this will be close, But you 691 00:32:28,933 --> 00:32:34,293 Speaker 3: feel like, Oh, it's in town. Tal Wait a minute, wait, wait, hold, 692 00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:40,413 Speaker 3: hold hold, I'll go. I'll go the Cowboys here back 693 00:32:40,453 --> 00:32:44,773 Speaker 3: the Broncos. There we go. Sharks, Knights, Sharks. We don't 694 00:32:44,813 --> 00:32:48,893 Speaker 3: need to talk about that one. Dolphins versus the Titans, Dolphins, Titans. 695 00:32:49,053 --> 00:32:50,893 Speaker 3: I really feel for the Dolphins because always been so 696 00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:53,973 Speaker 3: good to make ground up. They could still make the eight. 697 00:32:54,013 --> 00:32:56,173 Speaker 3: They're still in the picture. If they win their last 698 00:32:56,413 --> 00:32:59,773 Speaker 3: two games, they can still make the finals two points 699 00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:02,653 Speaker 3: back from the roosters in eighth, whereas the Titans wouldn't 700 00:33:02,813 --> 00:33:05,013 Speaker 3: have anything to play for it all, So you'd think 701 00:33:05,653 --> 00:33:07,093 Speaker 3: the Dolphins will be too good here. 702 00:33:07,893 --> 00:33:11,613 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Dolphins to bounce back.
