Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sports Talk podcast with Darcy Wildergrave
from News Talks'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
One worrious coach Stacy Jones that joins the show now. Stacy,
welcome to You've got a team that is out now
or the list anyway coming up for your game up
against the Titans. And I suppose we look at it
and most people go, oh, Roger to Ivasaschek is back.
Probably not the hardest decision, especially when you consider Rocco
Berry was injured last week, which is just awful for
(00:34):
him and the side. He's a great player.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeahctually, that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You know, Rocco picked up a shoulder injury and he's
gone for scans and he could be up for it
for a.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Week while there. Obviously Roger could have played last.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Week, but we felt we didn't need to make any
changes to especially to our backfield positions, because they'd all
been playing really well and we knew that it wouldn't
be long before Roger would find him himself back on
the team in tough circumstances, but he's certainly a handy
replacement for us to have for outside backs.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Talking abou outside no Dull and Martin's ILLEGIONI ark Edward
Cossi is in there and what's up with Dulham.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
He copped a one week suspension for a he got
synband on the weekend for a tackle off the ball
and so he's paid the price for being careless on
the field. So he's he's having a week on the sideline.
So certainly, you know, doesn't help out our situation and
didn't help us on on Saturday night when he spent
(01:33):
ten minutes in the synod along with the other we's
not ideal.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Tell us about Edward Cossi and what he brings to
the park. Still a young guy developing, He's got all
the power in the world, still room to move though,
as far as improvement in his game, what does he
offer Stacy?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, Look, Costs Play has played really well for our
reserve grade team who's been playing some really good footing
and winning winning as well. So Costs his last game
for us was against the Dolphins here at home and
I thought he had a really good night that night,
and you know he'll get some confidence from from that.
And the thing that that what cost does really good
as he brings it all back very strong. You know
(02:09):
when they kick it to him. If he's not carrying
play one, he'd definitely try and carry play two. And
then he gets you you go forward, going going really well.
So he's done a good job for us there. He
played again the Penwrith game Magic Round, so he's certainly
going to go into the game with a bit of
confidence behind hugs.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
For the two players that aren't going to be there,
in the form of the Queenslander and new South Welshman
Capwell and Bunnett not there, great for them, maybe not
so good for you guys. So the replacements rolling in
to help out with that, alais Laban I'm presuming are
four possibly.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, no, not not ideal losing players, but a good
reward for them, you know, I know, especially Mitch has
been near our best player every week and Curt has
sort of found himself back into some form as far
as getting on the field. You know, he's been hampered
with injury since he's been there, but he's sort of
found himself. He's strung together a couple of games for us,
(03:05):
so you know, and you obviously Queensland know what he
brings to them, the versatility of being able to play
in the forwards and move to the to the edge.
He's an ideal bench player in that situation. So yeah,
really good for those two players, and the players coming
in get an opportunity obviously, Jacob tom and moving Dylan
(03:25):
Walker to the edge edge back row gives us real
good punch there. So you know, we're pretty happy with
the players that have come in and the versatility that
they bring. Ware to free up tall Arista to get
back into the starting side and do what he can do.
And then what it also allows us to do is
player player that's that's played really good football for us
in Chanel Tavita Harris. You know, when you moved on
(03:47):
and Walker to an edge, who plays a lot in
the middle week, we're able to play Chanew there get
him some good minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So exciting for us.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Nonetheless, you were to pick the game apart Stacey Jones
from last week, but a shock on aar of a start,
fantastic beginning. After twenty minutes, it's all just kind of
dissipated what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, look, you know, I certainly can't fault what they
did effort wise. We just had moments of lapses and concentration.
You know, we didn't diffuse a couple of kicks that
they put up and scored off us early, you know,
where we put a couple of kicks out on the
fall gave you know obviously the penalties that we gave
away and to lead to symptoms. So yeah, very disappointed
(04:27):
from from that aspect that you know, we weren't smart
and didn't execute those things. But you know, we can't
fault the effort that we had. But yeah, we've got
to be better than that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
What about your heart?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Sawn Johnson back from injury again, probably not at his best.
I'd say he went missing to a degree. Is that fair?
And you're expecting it a little more from him now
that he's got one game under his belt.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know, we are, And you know, to Sean's defense,
I felt he probably didn't want to come here and
take over too much where had been the center of
a focus point of our attack, and it probably showed
a bit too much. I think it probably showed too
much that he didn't get involved as much as he
as we would have liked. And he knows that him
and Tomighty have had a really good, good chat and
(05:12):
sit down with Webby and gone through all of that.
So yeah, we'll expect to see more of Sean, especially
in key moments on the weekend. And you know, it
was a little bit of rustiness there for Sean being
out for some time. But yeah, he's going to be
much better.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Sorry you didn't bring him back too early. It was
about the right time.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
He was fit, he was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, like I said, he probably felt he didn't want
to come in and take away too much what Tomighty
had been doing, you know. So you know, and it
was a little bit difficult for Tomighty moving to the
left side of the field where he had been predominantly
right and his role on the weekend was to be
more on the ball and it was probably just getting more,
getting Sean involved a bit more, but not coming back
and taking over too much, you know, which he has
(05:52):
been the big focal point of our attack in the past.
So it was just a bit of a learning thing
where you know, we make sure that we get the
right balance.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Said that afternoon, Rabina, what have the Titans got? What
are you looking at, Stacey?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Look, they attack deep in yardage, they moved the ball,
they got really quick outside backs. The young Kiwi fallback
Keanu Kinney is very dangerous. You know, there's a lot
of really good fullbacks in the game that are elusive
and he's no different, you know. And the Fords, Aaron
Clark Kiwy boy, is lee there as far as ball
playing and also being a bit of a muscleman for them,
(06:28):
playing some really good footy. He played really well against
Sucy Lash last time we played them, I think it
was round date and he stood up and the old
filler Karen Forhan really getting their team around the field,
playing some really good footy, kicking the ball really well.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So yeah, they've got some real dangers there for us.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And those three Kiwi boys that I named will be
up for a big game against against US.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You're not overly interested in those because of where they
were born, Kiwi coach Stacy Jones.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Look, we'll look at them very closely every week. So yeah,
they're playing some good footy. So there's some really good
players running around that have got you know that a
kiw so pretty excited on that aspect.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But I'm hoping this is one game that those boys
probably have a quiet night, is what I'd like to say.
