Speaker 1 (00:01):
Country Sport Breakfast with Pet Stop your car's service doctor
using the latest technology. Well we're keeping the faith weekend
week out here on the show where the one New
Zealand Warriors well three game winning streak now after thumping
the North Queensland Cowboys forty two to twelve on Saturday night,
Great game to watch. Joining us on the show former
(00:21):
coach and now pundit Frank Endercop Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Frank Ah Gay one in the morning. It's always good
to speak after a win like that, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And it was a good watch. They paid well, didn't they.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, you know, it's to beat this side like the
Cowboys over there at their home by thirty points is
not just a win, it's a thrashing. That was the
first game this year I've actually seen them put the
whole game together. Their their skills, their enthusiasm, their attitude
and their discipline, it all come together in one game
(00:55):
and by g they look good, you know, and three
in a row. As you say, yeah, we know they
With those three games they lost in the row, I thought, well,
this could be their season gone. And then they come
back and win three in a row, and two of
those were the young players that did a fantastic job
for them. Oh it's the roller coaster. We were on
that roller coaster and by geez, I hope they continue.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What are you seeing? What are you seeing? Frank being
the biggest change for this side, you know, as we
said three in a row.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What's changed, Well, attitude more than anything, because I've always
said that you can tell where the Warriors are going
to want to lose with the way they run out
of the tunnel. You know, you could you can just
the first five minutes of that game. You could tell
they rot and and they look they never let the
Cowboys in the game, and I mean they were they
(01:47):
were close to full screen for cables. There are four
players backing up from state of origin, but they're playing
at home. You know, there was it was I can't
believe how bad they played, but it was because the
Warriors played so good.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, I mean there was some stunning try score by
the Warriors, weren't there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh well, look Whydns. I mean he's a try scoring genius, right,
But the biggest play of all was when he chased
the ball over the dead ball line knocked the ball
backward for Nicole Coxtad's try. I mean that just shows
the attitude and the commitment there from that bloke. He's
(02:28):
one of the best wingers in the NRL for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The old story you never ever ever give up the chase.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Do you well, he showed that to knee. Yeah it
look look, nineteen players out of twenty would have given
up the chase. He didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And that'll go down as one of the greatest tries
for the season, no doubt, won't it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh, without a doubt, that will definitely. In fact, they scored,
you know, there wasn't any good try they scored either.
They were slick with their bullwark. But the thing that
stuck out to me most was attitude and discipline, you know.
I mean the Warriors are known for their poor discipline,
handing the ball over with it too cheap to opposition
and in giving him five scoring chances. But you know
(03:12):
the other day against the Cowboys, they were rufus. They
were ruthus and and that's the way they've got to be,
you know, they play like that every week they're in
the top four.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, well, that's great. Fingers crossed Tomorray Martin. We touch
on him as well. He's been awesome at seven filling
in for Sean Johnson. I mean, Sean said to come
back this week. Coach has got a bit of a
hitterche hasn't he.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I was just saying to Mark Off here the same thing.
You know, what would you do? He said? What would
I do? I said, I keep to Murray Martin and
then you and give Sean another week. You know, when
the players in the form. I think he had four
or five priasses, didn't he? And you know, I mean
to me, he was mostly the best player on the field,
So how can you drop him after a performance like that?
(03:55):
He shows plenty of enthusiasm, energy and skill. So you know,
if it was me, I'd leave them in. They just
give Seawan one more week. And it's a big game
against a sawm at home, you know, to sell out,
and you know, I just think in a game like this,
you go with the you go with the form.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Playt Yeah, Melbourne Storm, can we keep the winning streak continuing?
You know for in a row?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well you can without a doubt. I mean, it's not
the Melbourne Storm that we knew a few years ago.
And I've been watching them real close lately. In fact,
they scraped on the other night with it.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
They ended up winning well, but you know it took
You can just see signs here that they can crack
and you know, I think we have a great chance
of beating him home. So you know that if they
stuck with the same team that played the other day
against the Cowboys, I think they can do it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You'll hear the roar in christ Church if you hear
the if if that's a win for the Warriors this
week he'd made, it'll be that loud.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Don't worry, it could it could happen. You know, we
tend to come up with a big game against the
Storm on most most accounts. So yeah, I think the
crowding in for a beauty absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hey Frank, always good to catch up mate, or do
it again soon.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Thanks b K. You have a good day.
