We've 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.799 been waiting for Deddy Wider one on one with Lockey 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:18.920 Gal and this game's ready to go. Fire up. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.400 Seeing a moment on dred percent. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.479 It's New South. 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.960 Yes, great to have your company here on one hundred 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.800 percent massive show. We're about to turn into the second 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:38.960 half of season twenty twenty five. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.000 We've already had a full. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.560 Season worth of stories and we've got a bit to 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:43.760 two through Tonight evening. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.840 Paul Gallen, Race, Kevin Smith, James Top Dog, James Bracy, 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.199 how are you doing very well? Still on top? It's 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.480 only halfway through the year. Halfway through the thought not 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.400 a sprinkle plate. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.440 Well said, all right, what do we learned from the round? 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.120 That was, let's go through it tonight. But he got 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.160 for us, Guss, what do I have on the mindset 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.640 of a champion? I want to look at Nathan Cleary's 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.960 goal kicking from Wednesday night where he had a terrible 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.080 night with the boot, totally unfamiliar to him, and. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.319 He was really worried about it. 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.000 You could see he couldn't work out exactly what was 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:22.480 going wrong. Andrew John's blamed the footballs everything, All sorts 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.520 of theories were coming out. Yet he turns out three 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.720 nights later and bang, bang bangs, three straight from the sideline. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.600 Have a look at these, hit them as sweet as 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.959 you like. Now I want to go to the game's 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:31.639 greatest ever. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.600 Points scorer and Cameron Smith, did you ever have a 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.399 bad day with the boot and you couldn't really work 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.959 out what happened? And how mentally does that affect you 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.200 when you go back to practice and start. 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:41.240 To get it. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.720 Of course, yeah, I had plenty of off days with 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.760 the boot and you're sort of trying to work out 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.400 what's going wrong. At the time, you sort of got 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.680 to put it aside and worry about your main role 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.000 and let's go and play football. But I'm sure Nathan 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.600 after Wednesday night he would have kicked a thousand footballs 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.160 to fix up and come out and kick the way 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.400 you did on Sunday. 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.080 Case and gives it to low backs that laid backs 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.440 got too good? 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:05.960 Should I told you it was the Bulls. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.480 That's right, Kevin, What did you learn from the latest? 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.840 I learned the Penrith Panthers they are not a spent force. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.760 A lot being said about their season so far, running 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:22.040 seventeenth in the competition on Wednesday, sorry on Sunday before 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:22.480 this game. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.919 They win this match. It was a lot like the 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.799 Panther of old, high. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.680 Completion rate, kicking long the corners, making Paramatta come out 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.280 of their own end for pretty much the entire second half. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.359 And they were a little bit ill disciplined early. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.440 Which that was an aspect of their game that that 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.360 Ivan clearly wanted them to fix from last week. But 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.640 the ice man Nathan clear ege two huge plays at 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.000 the end of the game, come up with a forty 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.200 twenty and then managed to score those points and kick 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:50.959 a goal and. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.880 Just really put them ahead. And they're back. What are 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.280 they now? 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.600 Three points outside the eighth but Para give it to 0:02:58.919 --> 0:02:59.560 made a good crack. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:00.440 It's cold game. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.839 The footage start around in last and then be three 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.320 points outside the eight in the back of one win gal. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.720 For you, mister Alex Johnson. Two hundred tries scores himself 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.560 a hat trick on the weekend, the second man in 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.320 history to hit two hundred tries and congratulations, what an effort. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.640 I've never been the biggest fan of winners, but they 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.519 are such an important miss plays is an absolute frick. 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.000 Some of the tries he scored, I mean, I know 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.000 some have been easiest catch and putting them down, but 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.440 some of the tries he scored have been absolutely amazing. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.440 And he was unreal the other day, sort of hat trick. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.280 Patrol inside and helped him out a couple of times, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.480 but it was fantastic. So two hundred tries make congratulations. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.240 I hope you're going to break the record. All the best. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.240 He's actually had a few injuries and missed a lot 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.880 of games in his career. He had a whole season 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.800 off where Robert Jennings scored twenty on the left wing 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.240 for South Sydney. He was one of the leading tries scores. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.400 He could be on two hundred and thirty already if 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:52.320 he hadn't had the injuries. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.880 He had twelve twelve to applydroze for last week too. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.360 You guys actually left with the flyworks started so out 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.800 and that song. Very very sorry, thanks for covering for me. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.240 But on positive, normal, positive news. We've got another undercard 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.840 for my fight night first Shamous as well as James 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.640 Bracy and Carlos Stephanos. It's all coming together on comfort 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:16.800 that's been around for ages. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.880 That one what he wants in his job. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.080 I'm very happy he's all coming again, all coming again 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:22.599 out of you. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.719 I don't mind the other fight though, have a good 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.160 round two coming your way to a screen very soon 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.000 when Gal's getting a big girn. Now let's get back 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.320 onto the footy. Back to back wins at some Corps 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.400 Stadium for the Blues for the first time since ninety 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.160 seven ninety eight, and now they're eyeing off back to 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.320 back series wins. As we head from Brisbane to Perth. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.719 It is a spine tingling atmosphere here at sun Corp 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.480 is packed to capacity. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.360 You can feel the electricity. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:05:01.720 And load up us pinging your shame suits. Fine to 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:22.719 lose two for Turnus full time. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.839 He out weals one mill i over Queensland queens Lams. 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.760 I feel pretty flat, to be honest about our performance. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.000 Now we didn't see the best of this Queensland team 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.240 and that's what I'm most disappointed. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.799 About Harry Grant. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.160 I spilled it like many of our players. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.000 Harry wasn't at his best tonight, unfortunately and unfortunately well. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.279 I'm sure Billy Slater he'll have some stern words for 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.120 his team members us. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.400 Rumbling back Payne's injury. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.480 We weren't sure with that either. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.440 He hadn't really trained, and then to push out the 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.239 minutes and be strong the way he was was inspiration. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.960 Mine with our man of the match at paynhas congratulations. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.880 He goes to Wetwoods, he fires at the Crchton Crichton. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.040 For the corner Acrosta zach Lomax. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.000 Donnie, you're hoping that Billy shows faking you and that 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.320 you would attorney surround. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.640 Yeah, definitely. I guess with losing comes the question. So 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.240 we've opened ourselves up to these sorts of questions. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.680 But yeah, I love the opportunity to come back and 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:25.440 correct your corrective. 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.160 Cleary Moses brilliant hands. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.920 Fuck first time they've played together. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.479 I thought that terrific. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.040 We bet Robin Tyner and Billion it was a bit 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:36.720 of a bride spot. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:37.760 What did you make an easter bo? 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.760 I actually expected him to play like that but that's 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.400 why he's in this position. And I thought his debut 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.720 was great, so he can hold his head up by it. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.480 And the score is eighteen six. 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.680 It's a series of three and that's still alive, so 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:53.960 we'll be going after it. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.200 Yeah, we've got no doubt about that, the determined Billy Slater, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.359 speaking after his side opening loss on their own turf. 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.920 Gus, you've come away. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.039 From that opening match pretty confident about the way it 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.160 sits for the Blues at the moment, I imagine your 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.160 mind hasn't changed since Wednesday. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.560 No one thing. Origin taught me that it is a 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.040 three game series and you need to improve in every 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.680 moment of that right through the series. It gets by 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.680 the third game and by the second half of the 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.840 third game you should beat your peak. And I think 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.920 there's a lot of improvement in this new South Wales side. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.440 I thought their performance the other night, whilst most people 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.920 are calling a dominant, I thought it was really controlled. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.800 It was physical and it was conservative. I think there 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.840 are a lot more opportunities for them in that game 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.280 than they even explored. They didn't try to move the 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.800 ball all that much, so Queensland have got a lot 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.080 of improving to match what New South Wales did in 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.960 game one. But it's where New South Wales get two 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.320 in games two and three that should have them a 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.240 little more worried. And I don't think the answers are 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.640 alreadily there Origin's Origin, though we know Queensland will bounce 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.680 back and we know that there'll be a different conflict. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.760 This game started really well for New South Wales. They 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.200 got a flood of possession, They've got some penalties early, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.040 their forwards were able to get their domination and once 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.880 they got to the front they really didn't let Queensland 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.040 back into it. Now the next game could start completely 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.480 different and queens they could dominate early, jump out to 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.360 a twelve mier lead, and we know they've got the 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.600 spirit and the tenacity to hang on. So nothing's decided. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.920 But I think if New South Wales can learn from winning, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.680 which is you learn more from your defeats, but in 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.360 Origin you've also got to learn from your wins. If 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.200 they can improve some more, they're going to make it 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.840 very very difficult for Queensland. 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.040 Well that's the concerning part for Queensland and for Queensland 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.839 as Gus is that I agree with you I think 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.720 there's a lot more improvement in the Blues, and I 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.400 agree with you as well with your comments saying that 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.680 they did play a fairly conservative for the most part 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.600 of that game. So for queens not only do they 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.280 have to bridge that gap from game one to come 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.240 up to the Blues where they are, the Blues are 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.160 going to get better again. So that's the big question 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.880 for Billy, his coaches and the selectors. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.640 I guess before game two, Gal is. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.280 That side from game one have they got have they 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.360 got it in on to match what the Blues had 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:09.920 in game one plus more in game two, or is 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:10.960 it going to have to be changed? 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.680 Well, as you noticed, I think it's going to be changes. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.120 To me, then you you're probably the black one ask 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.640 about how the changes because that that to me the 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.520 other night wasn't a Queensland performance that I've certainly played 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.400 against Anyway. Yes, the Blues were conservative, they yes that 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.280 expectation of a high completion rate. But one thing that 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.719 the Maroons weren't they weren't tough. They never defend like 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.840 they've missed fourteen nine tackles forty nine tackles is hohod. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.880 But they'll dominate in the meter's game, the post contact meters. Now, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.880 a lot of backlashes fallen on cherry evans, which, as 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.360 we know, those positions are generally under the most amount 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.640 of pressure. But it's very, very hard for half back 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.200 to have any sort of impact on the game when 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.600 your forwards getting tally trampled, and they were for the 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.120 entire match. There was probably a ten minute period where 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.480 the Blues were down to twelve men where Quinland showed 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:56.720 a bit of energy and a bit of fight, but 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.079 the Blues took a straight back off. So where do 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.199 you do you think they need to make change? So 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:02.520 at the end of the day they can't go and 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.640 make seven or eight changes, then they're starting all over again. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.200 There's probably only two, maybe three changes that most that'll 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.199 be made. Now, where do you think they need to 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:10.560 be made? 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.920 Well, look, I haven't spoken to Billy about what his 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:14.920 thoughts are. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:15.880 Going into game two. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.640 I know he's bitterly disappointed with the performance. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.280 Of his team in game one. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.559 But I'd like to think all if he makes changes, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:24.520 it's going to be minimal. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.560 It'll be one or two. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.480 I don't think he'll make wholesale changes. That's a huge 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.200 gamble going into game two, given that you're already down 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.360 one nill playing at a neutral venue as well, you've 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.679 got to be fairly certain of the players that you 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.600 pick and you can understand what they're going to bring 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:40.240 to that game. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.640 A lot of talk is obviously around DC. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.680 It's the fact that he's the skipper to influenced the decision. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.760 Well, I guess it'd have some bearing. It's a big decision, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.719 isn't it to leave the current captain out, Because then 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.880 that's a big decision to leave out Dally Joe Evans 0:10:58.960 --> 0:10:59.960 the captain of the Queensland. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.000 Then you've got to find the next captain. How's that? 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.160 How's that player going to. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.439 Handle that that extra pressure that comes along with having 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.560 to see next to the name leading their state series 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.319 on the line. So there's a lot, there's a lot 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.920 to consider for Billy, But you know he's he's all over. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:20.160 It was the greatest Queensland ever. What was your you are? 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.559 But what was your perception about not kicking the spencerl 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.520 and you Because at the end of the day, I 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:32.240 know your mentality. I know's mentality when you go out there, 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.760 when you go out there, the mouth told me you 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.760 attack the leaders. You would take the head off the snake, 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.000 the wrestle, crumble around it. Now he was out there. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.679 It was it was in the paper the day before 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.600 smash this blues grub. He went away from him. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.120 Well, those journals weren't out there kicking. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.600 To be fair company South Welsh Corey Parker when you 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.600 were great teammates. He said the same thing. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.920 Well, you know, I don't know what the mindset is 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.440 of this current footage. Side the teams that I played in, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.880 I reckon we would have kicked off at Spencer. 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.120 Reckon and gone after him a little bit, would. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.280 Just to send a message. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:09.920 But you know, I think at the time, I think 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.280 Billy he spoke on Sunday Footy Show around the reasoning 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:12.800 behind that. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:19.000 There was some sort of tactical decision behind it. But yeah, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.439 there was a bit of anticipation, wasn't there. Really? 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360 When Spencer come on the field, he come on the field, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880 he is on the back fence down that northern end 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.880 of some carb stadium. I think everyone in the stadium 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.559 wanted queens on the kick off to him, but they 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:31.640 opted to go the other way. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:32.880 So is what it is. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.640 I didn't think it was a big issue is what 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.720 a lot of people made it. But I guess you know, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.400 in the teams that I played him, we probably would 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.000 have kicked at him. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.560 Yeah, Gus like's the idea of Red Barney the Dogies 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.600 nine into the Queensland team. That's an option maybe Harry Grant, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.200 which we've seen before, back to the bench is do 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.199 you see that working in somebody that could help him? 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:53.760 Well? 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.839 Well, historically right, if you look over the Harry Grant's 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.880 career instat of origin, he's played the best football off 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.760 the bench, I believe, and I've seen a stat which 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.840 I wasn't aware of. He's had four stars now for 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.719 Queensland and four losses of it. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.280 I think at that level of football, they've got to 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.600 keep him out of the early battle. Yeah, because if 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.480 New South Wales get out there and have possession and 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.880 punch twenty tackles into him in the first fifteen minutes, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.239 it's got to take some juice out of it. Remembering 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.680 it had fifty eight minutes of football in four weeks 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.319 leading into that game. Lindsay Collins had only had one 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.280 game back leading into that game as well. They were 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.960 going to be found wanting around the middle. I think 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.480 the changes in personnel needs to be minimal. I think 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.400 the changes in attitude needs to be significant. I think 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.680 that you can help Harry Grant and make him a 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.120 weapon by keeping him out of the early fray, which 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.880 brings in someone like Reedmarte who can go out there 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.000 and bust himself for twenty twenty five minutes until he 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.280 can't walk again, and then put Harry on. There can 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.520 be an effect, and I think they need one more 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.760 energetic middle to absorb a fair bit of that bulk 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.480 in the early part of the game where Yo and 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.840 Crichton and these fellows are just punching away at their 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.600 middle trying to wear them down. Other than that, you 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.400 thought that that was the best side going in. You've 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.480 got a great spine, You've got athletic outside backs. If 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.040 they can just hold their own in the middle a 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.280 little bit, be a little bit more disciplined, not give 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.839 up as much in the play the ball, not give 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.000 up as many penalties. Possession of manum are a funny 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.520 thing in rugby league. You know, all of a sudden 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.000 you bring Dca mons terround it. I wouldn't drop Terry Evans, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.320 I really wouldn't. I know the other kid did and 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:20.960 is close. And I know he came off the bench 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.880 and look great, but he came off the bench later 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.720 in the game. Let's say he goes out and starts 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.120 and they punched twenty eight ahaps into him. Is he 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:29.480 going to be able to do that after twenty five 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.560 to thirty minutes now he doesn't have the experience. I 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.960 think you've got to go with your skipper and go 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.440 with Cherry Evans. I think they need a hooker to 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.120 help Harry Grant, and I think they need just someone 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.120 one more that can go out and blow himself out 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.640 for twenty minutes in the middle, absorb a bit of 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.760 the defense and the hit ups and get them into 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.040 the contest so they're not so radid. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.160 Can Man fit into that fold, well. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.800 He could because he's got great versatility. He's played pretty 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.760 much every position in the back line. He can play 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.280 in the middle. He plays in the middle of the 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.720 field for the Bulldogs and does a fantastic job. Talk 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.480 about physicality, he hasn't got the biggest frame in the competition, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.600 but he loves it. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.480 He hits in defense as hard as anyone in the 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.160 comit So he could he could fill that role. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.200 I was going to say, that's the challenge about putting 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.320 another number nine in the lineup is that you couldn't 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.560 have two nines plus a smaller utility. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.920 You've got to bring Hawsebury in down. I mean a 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.800 bit of a motion, a bit of passion back into. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.000 The I had Cory Hawsbro in my lineup for the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.000 Billy opted to go. Trently Erro was on the bench, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.360 so it'd be interested to see if he goes for 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.040 that bigger body. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:37.880 He's in great form at the moment. And the other 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.920 thing too with Cory Hawsbro, he's a part of a 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.840 side that are going really well at the moment. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.440 While we're talking big bodies, big blow today for the Blues. Barnett, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.120 who had a belter of a game in that first origin, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.680 ruptured a cl playing for the Warriors out of the 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:54.840 weekend goal that's stick. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.400 So when he did, you can see the way buckles 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.160 in there. Whenever you see someone do that, when they 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.240 enjoy tackling, it's never gonna end well. So poor boy, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.240 I thought he was absolutely brilliant. Game one that there 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.880 was a tackling made on the right end side the 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.920 field where someone almost made a break. He just got 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.080 over it and clipped him up and made the tackle. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.040 I thought he was brilliant. He's going to be a 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.080 big loss. He lost to the Warriors. Two glassic player 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.800 look brings Jake to Blovich names back into it by 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.120 big Steph Fano was in the entire camp for game one, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.840 So you imagine I'd imagine, I'd imagine I just go 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.680 straight for Stephan unless unless he gets hopefully for him, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.280 he gets pulls up. Okay, but I suppose I got 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:30.880 to bring Jake's name back into as well. He was 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.920 the former captain. But I reckon, I go stuff. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.560 Could Maxican start? 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.440 Yeah, Mexican start, No no risk in the world. I 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.680 think key On Kala mc tonguey has been outstanding. He's 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.800 on the Origin game. He was terrific and he's been 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.920 doing a terrific job this house in he this year. 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:45.760 He can play middle or edge. He can get through 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.840 a lot of work. Now they've got a few options, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.640 but again, we're going to through another round of football. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.760 We're going to get to that next Monday night. Mitch 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.200 Barnett might not be the only one from either side 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.520 that's unavailable, so we're kind of. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:02.480 Picking team without I think it's definely just sure. I 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.920 think he's probably gets the job. He was in camp, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.520 won the entire time, So imas pick your team. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.119 We're talking a lot of Broncho with Adam Reynolds later on. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.560 But Payne, hass gust you throw the kitchen sinking him 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:15.880 to keep. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.760 Him at the club, don't you. Phenomenal? Absolutely phenomenal, What 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:23.920 a what an athlete given the week that he had 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.200 under the injury cloud that he had, but he does 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.440 this week in week out for the Broncos as well. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:29.879 These numbers are just extraordinary. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.240 It's statistically the greatest front rows that's ever played the game. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.840 The body of work that he produces every week athletic. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.440 He's just he's a cover of fender. He makes breaks 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:40.680 out wide. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.959
