1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: He is to Wally Lewis, King Wally, the lacing on

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: it leers Lewis on the go again, beautiful Lewis Is

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: Lewis holds it out im alright here you guys. A

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: field goal for.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Lewis with a vicart on his face.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: Now is the in the Emperor of Wayne.

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: Hello Ollo, guys, how are you great?

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: To talk to you?

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: Mate?

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: Look, I don't want to ask you your opinion of

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: New South Wales Blues? But can I ask you your

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: opinion of New South Wales Blues? What can we do

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: to be Queensland?

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, they weren't far away from it. I've heard

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: a whole pile of criticism about New South Wales and

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: what they didn't do, what the problems were, what the

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: issues are for the next game. But they were beaten

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: on the bill by Queensland team that really pulled out

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: their best in the last couple of minutes. So they

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: were they were so close to success. Queensland was so

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: close to failure. So I think every State of Origin game,

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: particularly the second one ten to be the most important

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: of the series to keep the game alive, keep the

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: series alive, and certainly with a pretty handy team on board.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: I think we also certainly got a very good chance

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: of being able to level the series.

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 4: There you go, all right, well, let's see what kind

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: of tipper you are, Wally. It's a limited round. I

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: think there's only one, two, three for five games the

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Panthers on Friday. Who are you tipping there?

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, both of these teams have got a whole

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: pile of players out. It's being played in North Queensland,

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: but I'm going to go with the Panthers. I think Penrith,

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: certainly Ivan Cleary, I really appreciate his ability as a coach.

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: He gets the best out of his players. I'll go

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: for the Panthers this one, despite it being played in

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: North queens Zane where a lot of teams feel extremely

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 2: uncomfortable venturing into towns ball.

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: And Amanda's Roosters, that's what they're officially known as. Take

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: on the Knights. Who are you tipping?

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to go for the Knights in this one

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: and will probably up there are a little bit. But

43
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: I'm still having trouble understanding why the Roosters aren't going

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: a little bit better than what they are. That might

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: be a nice way of saying it. I think it's

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: been a fairly fairly poor season for them and James

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: Tedesco he's had one of those years, I think where

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: everyone seems to be criticizing him when it's not his

49
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: fault at all. But in a match like this, I

50
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: think I'm going to go for the Nights because they're

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: playing on their home track and they seem to be

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: ten foot tall and bulletproof while playing at Newcastle and

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: a little easier to beat while they're playing away from home.

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: All right, well, then we have the Eels and the

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: Sea Gulls. Where are you going there?

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to go for the Eels in this one.

57
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: Playing at Paramatta, they always seem to play fairly fairly well.

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: I believe that they're going to be feeling a little

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: bit tougher with some of their players missing from state

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: of origin. But I think that certainly when they're when

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: they're we're playing at home Paramatta, they tend to be

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: ten foot tall and bulletproof there. They played much much better.

63
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tigers versus the Storm.

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to go for the Tigers. And this one.

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: I had people questioning me in Bridsbane a year tofore.

66
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: Quit going for the Tigers. What about the way they

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: played last week? The storm there that one of those

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: teams that they certainly play extremely well consistently, had a

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: wonderful game last week, but they're missing a whole pile

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: of their Origin star. So I think I'll go for

71
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: the Tigers in this one.

72
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: And the Sharks versus Bulldogs. I suppose with Nico Hines

73
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: he's in the Sharks side.

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you hit the nayl on the head there,

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: and he'll want to prove to the to the Origin

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: selectors that he shouldn't have been dropped from the side

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: he's had As he had described at a Shaka last week,

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: it wasn't one of those games. But he'd be a

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: guy that I'd pick in every side, every representative side.

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: He can play every position in the back line, and

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to prove to selectors they

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: did it wrong. And certainly for Sharks fans, he's he's

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: presented a assistant performance. Every week. He produces a very

84
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: good effort and certainly that's going to get the sharky's home.

85
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: Because I look at him, I feel it's a bit

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: hard done by that, because he's a very gifted player.

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: It's almost like no one was watching him, Like he

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 3: makes one mistake and everyone piles onto him like selected

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: wise for that.

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a wonderfully talented player. I like watching him play.

91
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: I think he's a fantastic guy off the field and

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: listening to him talk. He's a realist. He doesn't try

93
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: to take Rome in a day. But he's playing in

94
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: a Sharks team that really do need to present their best.

95
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: They're missing a couple of players, sure, but so everybody

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: in this competition and the dog he's seemed to really

97
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: get over the top of their opponents on a situation

98
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: like this. But I just think in this game, we're

99
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: going to see Nicko produce his best and that will

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: inspire his teammates.

101
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: There you go.

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 4: In the lead up to Origin on Tuesday night, nine o'clock,

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: Wally Lewis The King and our long documentary documentary about you.

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is. It's something I'm just havn't I'm

105
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: not wise as to what everyone else is saying about me,

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 2: So I think there could be a couple of sprays coming.

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: And Gene Miles was already perform He's already told me

108
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: he's he's dropped the line about being the most arrogant

109
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: footballer he played alongside, he said, But you've got to

110
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: watch it. He said. There's a little bit of a

111
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: curve then there, and I take he said, but I'm

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: not telling you what I've what I've said about you.

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: So that's that's on. I should imagine if there's if

114
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: there's anybody from across the border, that's that's giving their

115
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: opinion one of the best sprays of all time about

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: the state of origin games. But I just feel very,

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: very lucky to have played footy. I was born into

118
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: a footage family. My mum was a good sportswoman of

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Selshi played for Queensland in that ball. My dad actually

120
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: said that just proved there you goes. He had five

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: till and she played for Queensland and net ball. She

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: was very good at handling balls, wasn't she. She was

123
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: a real sports woman one that that sort of helped

124
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: me go on. But I owe everything to my dad,

125
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: and I say a fair bit about that in this DOCA.

126
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: He was a wonderful man who just gave me enormous

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: amounts of time to teach me how to get better.

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: Right, great, well, well, he We look forward to watching it.

129
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: As long as Paul Voughton keeps that story about what

130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: he did to your toilet in your new house out

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: of it, that'll be fine.

132
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: I think that'll have to otherwise we'll be banned from

133
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: being on television for life.

134
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: Wally Lewis, it's always great to told you. The King
