All Sports Breakfast with Darcy Waltergrave.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Used talks Ed.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
B Richard Barnett, How are you, my friend?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good morning US.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Does anyone call you Richard these days or not?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Ritchie Richard Ricky?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, that's run with this in mister Barnett, thank
you very much for joining the program. The Warriors out
of the frying pan into the fire. It was horrendous
last week. Can they actually lift themselves up up against
a Broncos team that are also trying to bounce back too,
But what a team they have.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
What a game last week, you know, and you looked
at what happened last night when the Dolphins turned Melbourne around,
So that momentum can swing pretty quickly. And the Warriors,
you know, without given a hundred and fifty games of
experience out of the side, some changes throughout that side
which is going to impact them, the synergy, the cohesion.
(01:12):
But they're at home. The weather is not great. So
if this weather can stay, I mean, that will negate
the fact that the Brisbane Broncos can really score points.
They average thirty thirty thirty thirty one tries thirty points
per game, so very similar to what Albourt dished up
against the Warriors. They've got that style of football that
can turn you around pretty quickly. They use the field
(01:33):
extremely well, governed by two very experienced halves and at
fallback that we've had at one point in our time
with the Warriors, Reese Walsh, so he turns into his
best performance. Is going to be very hard for the
Warriors to turn around, but you never know, and that
this day and age they could turn it around.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well. Like I said about last week's game, I'm not
freaking out team much about Storm like they beat us
with alarming regularity and not back in Seve Price's day
they didn't. It's going to happen. You're going to get
flogged in the NRL. It happens to all of the teams.
That's the nats of the competition. So I'm not freaking
out too much. I just want to know how they
bounce back. What are they going to have to do.
(02:09):
Ritchie to this Broncos side. If they let them get
away to a start like they let the Storm get away,
it could be real trouble. They've got to cunch them
up front, don't they?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, they do. And I think that first ten minutes
is going to be widely important. Last week, you know,
four eras and the result in a couple of tries.
So I think patience is definitely the word everyone's going
to grunt up because the minutes that we have in
this team, when you take out seven hundred and fifty
games of experience, and you take out our players like
fit and you pay Roger two of us at chants
players that actually put in a lot of energy where
(02:41):
you don't really see, but the effort levels are really high.
So there's got to be a whole lot of slack
that needs to be taken up costs. He's got to
come from the back. The back five. I've actually got
to lift their game to another level. They need to
see more head ups, they need to try and break
tackles to get through and help the forwards out because
these limited minutes. You look at Lakhalasima, who's probably played
(03:01):
about thirty minutes a game here in Clark about forty,
so you're expecting these guys to play long, long minutes,
particularly with Mitch Barnett and Ford. They're looking at more
quality minutes and it's going to be interesting how they
gauge that and how they implement the changes coming off
the bench. So it really requires a whole game. The
kicking needs to apply the pressure. I think they need
(03:23):
to apply the pressure with the kicking game and force
force them into errors and really start to pressurize their
kicking game more, you know, like I know Reynolds and Hunt.
I think it's nine tries I think from kicks the season,
So their kicking game needs to improve. The Warriors. That's
a noisy motabile.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That's in how that was a motibike and doing.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
A wheeling down there?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Either come on, comeing out West, I'll tell you a motorbike,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He wasn't wheeling though.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So hey, you mentioned and the sky like I had
a seem it looks like he's got a big career
coming out. But with the relative lack of experience and
the fact that their ages are going to have to
do a lot of work out there, is this a
weak spot do you think for the Warriors. I don't
want to like poor scorn On the bloke, but you'd
say that'd circum and go we might be able to
(04:15):
target this bloke.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, And I think that's these all targets, and I
think that's what most sides will do, is target and
really take the juice out of players. Now, looka Halasimra,
if I was playing with them, you'd be pushing up
right around them. In fact, they'll need to be pushing
up on most plays to take the force of the
defense out from the Broncos and give a chance for
the players to get on the front foot because winning
the ruck is so violently important these days. But Liquor
(04:38):
has got the ability to break tackles at will. He's
the only player really that has the incredible ability to
not defensively be strong, but an attack wise he can
get on the front foot pretty quickly. So they need
to capitalize on that. I think these more play from
away Egan that if he can capitalize that and really
push through the middle. We saw that against the Bronco
(04:58):
the Bulldogs last night. How they play such an incredible
game where no one's running one out, They're pushing all
the time and they're offloading and he's always a player
in place. I think that's the style of planning the
warriors need to adopt. And yes they will target. They
will go to him on a number of occasions, just
to take the juice out of him. In fact, they'll
probably target the six and seven though, no doubt Luke
(05:20):
Mee Karf is probably a highlight where they'll target. When
you look at players like pain Hears and Carrigan and Recki,
players that actually can really turn the dime and their
all floats are ridiculous. You know, pain Hears, there's twenty
one offloads with forty three tackle bus. That's nearly seven
of the game. Now there's a bus coming outside me,
(05:41):
there's everything.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
How about going in sideline? We might let you get
on your business.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It's noisy there with a coffee machine gun. Here's no
way out for me. They see nothing to do with
rugby league, but something very close to your heart. Well,
I am hope this blaker's Shamansky bloke running what two
thousand k and eighteen days? What's all that about?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I know it's incredible. A he's a local, he's a
local boy and Howick and Cockle Bay and he's running
for a mate that committed suicide in two thousand and eight,
and we love him here at how it come. He's
running the link for the country stunded in the South
and he's making his way up to the top of
the North Island. He's I think he's in tow poll
at the moment, running again probably all around about one
hundred k or less, depending how his body's holding up.
(06:25):
In fact, he's got I don't think he's ever a
part of his body without strapping on it at the moment.
So yes, he's supporting a great mate and doing it
obviously for him South, to prove a point that things
can change if you are willing to put one in
front of the other. And he's raising awareness, fire and hope.
But more importantly it's just building awareness and doing it
for you know, open that conversation around mental health and rabban,
(06:47):
which is so damn for.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And I'm one hundred percent behind that, you know it.
Richard Barnett, Richard Barney, Richd Barnett's mister Barnett, thank you
so much for your time and that atrocious noise of
that nasty too short.
Speaker 3 (07:03):

texted and saying we need to get Jack Tame or
Mike the Warrior Hosking on the All Star panel.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
What are the chances there? And he dove.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Very low. I'd say less than very low. If there's
such a thing, then less than low. That is it
can't host it up. Come and join me on the earth,
Join who me, Darcy Watergrave.
