Twenty one years old?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You just did what you were told. I did whatever
everything they told me that. I'm like, yes, sir. So
what happened with Cameron Smith? Well? I was never a
confident passer like and everyone wondered why I played left wing.
And I remember at the first training session I've you know,
jumped in there and went, I'm my god, no, I'll
have to pass the ball in the ground half and
(01:10):
I can pass right left. I do that easy. But
isn't passing past left right? Maybe as a winger, you're
a long pass sometimes when they get that you have
to pass, like fifteen got fifteen mines.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And so your left hand dominant for this pass.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, And I'm like no, And I've thrown it to
him and dribbled on the ground. Yeah, and he's picked
it up, through it and let the play go. And
then he's walked over and just told me off pretty
much and said if I don't learn how to pass
by by the game, he said, you probably won't be
picked again. I'm like, so then the captains told you.
(01:48):
You told me you don't learn how to pass. Well,
it was a bad part. It's a big deal. It's
a big part of the game, and then people won't notice.
But in that game I never got to pass the
ball at all from Aden and Gee, I would just
push me, like, get out of you. This is such
a big moment for you, and I accepted it. I'm like,
(02:09):
I am terrible, And so did you go away? In practice? Yeah,
Elfie Langer. Every session i'd try at least ten to
twenty and if we hit the mark, I'll be there
until I did. Yeah. It's thanks to elf that by
the second game I could just get it to him.
You know, a little bit of confidence, but I practiced
for like, yeah, I got twelve months after that until
(02:30):
I could now the past. I still do it now.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And you'd played Origin and you've been playing professional for while.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah left Wings.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Did you win, Cory.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, we won the first two one when you lost
the third. Yeah, it was crazy, it was it was Yeah,
it was an incredible start of my Origin career. And
yeah that's that's a memory, those first two games, and
memories I'll never forget. So yeah, that really cool.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I can't wait for say, all you've done is pump
him up.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah. I think it's going to be a massive and
a really good game of football, I really do. I
think I think that picked a really really good side Queensland.
Obviously we always pick you know, we've always got players
that are ready and herbs in that position always do
their job and they're always up for it. And I
believe that I picked the very strong team. And I'm
(03:23):
actually very on pump. I'm actually very excited for the.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Game, Queen by how much.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
First games I feel always close. I think it'll be
by two or four. I think it could be like
sixteen twelve, low score fourteen.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, okay, nice? All right, Well, we'll talk to you
next week and we'll see see what you're doing for Origin,
because we've got some plans. You might want to come
