1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: This is jem Nation with jonesy Alana.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, I'm glad you got my vocals on this guys.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 3: Thank you.

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we did have.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 4: We had our Prime minister, former Prime Minister Scott Morrison

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 4: sing the same song.

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember that, Josie and Amanda Forever?

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: Stop it?

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, stop it.

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 5: How are you, Alana?

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: I'm very good, guys. How are you going? Well?

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 6: It doesn't seem fair to me that I know, because

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 6: the games on a Sunday, the State of Origin as

14
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 6: opposed to a Wednesday night as it often is, or

15
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 6: usually is that there are no other games this weekend.

16
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 6: But then if you in past weeks, if you've had

17
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 6: half your team out for State of Origin, you've been

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 6: disadvantaged this week no one's disadvantage.

19
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 5: Does that seem fair?

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Look, I think it panned out.

21
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: There are a couple of rounds that are a little

22
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: bit shorter, but this round is rep round, so we

23
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: actually get to see some international games as well as

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: the under nineteen State of Origin.

25
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: Of course, the women's origins on Friday and the Mets

26
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

27
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: So exciting weekend of footing. And I guess there are

28
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: a few people out there that just get to have

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: a little bit of a breather and maybe get some

30
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: family time.

31
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: The Women's State of Origin.

32
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: I know that it only came to as called the

33
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: Women's stat of Origin in twenty eighteen, but when did

34
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 4: it actually start. There was a rivalry between New South

35
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: Wales and Queensland, and this would have been in the

36
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: time when you were playing.

37
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: When did it actually start?

38
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there was seventeen years in a row, the

39
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: Queensland once, yeah, and then there was a draw, and

40
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: then New South Wales won two and then from there

41
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: there have been four games that they've labeled state of Origin.

42
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: So New South Wales and Queensland have obviously been playing

43
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: against one another for a very long time, but there's

44
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: been four state of Origin so far, and we get

45
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: to see the fifth one on Friday night at GOO

46
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: in Canberra.

47
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: And who do you reckon? How are we going? How's

48
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: New South Wales going for that one?

49
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: Oh? Mate, we're looking good.

50
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: They're tight games Queensland last year eight six. But I

51
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: like the look in New South Wales. Even just off

52
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: the back of the NRLW, I think we saw the

53
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: competition list to another level. But we've got players like

54
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: Emmatnagado who's our fullback, absolute freak. She's just come over

55
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: from the Rugby seven's program.

56
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: She'll be everywhere.

57
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: And then Rachel Pierson in the number seven jersey. She's

58
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: another unearthed player that came out of the NRLW and

59
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: she's in the number seven, so she's controlling the ship.

60
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: So we look even stronger than last year with plenty

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: of plenty of strake power. But I like our odds.

62
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: And you're calling that game on Friday.

63
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, very excited. Got the thermals packed.

64
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Already, and have you got your rabs worn?

65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: No? I don't even attempt that rong.

66
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Oh come on, I think Alana, there's not many ladies

67
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: that do. Maybe this is your time.

68
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 6: Maybe it is so well, let's let's have a look

69
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 6: at what's happening on Sunday.

70
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 5: As our footy tipper.

71
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 6: You can either be one hundred percent corrector one hundred

72
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 6: percent wrong.

73
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: There's a lot of pressure riding on this.

74
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: For ye, for the men stayed of origin in Perth.

75
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: Yes, for the Sunday one.

76
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

77
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: Look, I like the changes that Freddie's made. I think

78
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: we've gone with a little bit of a like a

79
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: faster and more dynamic starting pack. I love Maddy Burton

80
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: in the sentence, gives us that left foot kicking option

81
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: as well. But the big thing for me is Appy

82
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: Corris now at nine and we still got Cookie there

83
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: coming off the bench. But I thought where New South

84
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: Wales lost the game in Game one was all around

85
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: the ruck. Queensland dominated every ruck in attack and defense.

86
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: They dictated the pace and we were just behind the

87
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: mark Naples Cleary got no good ball because the defense

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: was up in his face. And then in defense New

89
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: South Wales weren't able to replicate that. We didn't have

90
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: the line speed. So I think that's huge and where

91
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: Happy Corros will come into it. He really helps control

92
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: the play the ball speed and then of course when

93
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: New South Wales get the ball, I think we'll be

94
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: able to do a little bit more with it. There's

95
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: never much in it in origin that was there, but

96
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 2: it's always pretty tight and yeah, you just need to

97
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: keep the ball off camera monster.

98
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, keep it away from Monthster. I did notice that

99
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: you're right about with that defense. The New South Wales side,

100
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: we weren't getting up as quick as the Queensland side,

101
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: and the Queensland side were holding us down more when

102
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: we were on attack.

103
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very It was very Melbourne storm like,

104
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: wasn't it? Later? Is trick?

105
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: No, that'sdy ready, smart man, he'll be able to change that.

106
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: It was one of those things that was glaringly obvious.

107
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: And I think the way that he's actually selected his side,

108
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: in particular the starting side, he's got a couple of

109
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: big boys like Junior Paulo Talakai coming off the bench

110
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: for some size and a bit of punch. But I

111
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: think he's got a really mobile path to be able

112
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: to counteract that.

113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: Once old Tala Visa Talakai gets moving, then you can't

114
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 4: stop it.

115
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: It's like a mac truck just going through that.

116
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 6: All right, Well, Alana, you can't you combat either your

117
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 6: ahead of your heart. But who are you putting your

118
