Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's all the best stat is What do you what
do you think about the respective sides?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Firstly your Coins Land side, well.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I think from both teams, I think sort of injuries
have played a part. You know, both Laurie and Billy
would have had a plan and then a few injuries
late sort of change those. I think there's definitely a
different style of play. I think I think the Moses
Cleary Yo combination is something that is repetition trust, so
(00:30):
there's a lot of combo work in that and they
will move the football around a little bit more yep
for the Maroons and that sort of storm combination of
Munster and put Harry Grant in that throw Kalin in
the back. I think Billy's game plan will be long
game and one of their best players to come up
with a play, if that makes sense. I don't think
there's a lot of combination work compared to the New
(00:51):
South Wales side, but I think both have strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
What do you reckon good looking pack coins pack wake
Tina ruben Cot I love corderis player Jeremiah and I
is a good form and Carrying's got that mouth injury,
but he's going to be okay, Yeah, it's a it's
a strong pack with Harry Grant through the middle.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's it's funny looking at.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The the nature of the Queensland back line.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's very much attack based.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And when you look at New South Wales, which get
to in a second, it's more you know, I look
at I look at our wingers and our and our
full back.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's very much yardage based. But look Queensland.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Look monster there hammer the bench, Ded and Lindsay Collins
both for more gets the start world done, Trentley eero.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But the big one is Robert Toyer.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Wow, yeah was it ten games into his career and
he's playing origin That normally doesn't happen for some of
the best players. They ever well in the game, really well.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
As you know, if Billy picks him, you know he's
ready thorough.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yes, if Billy's watched more football than you and I, right,
But we sit there and have seen glimpses of what
Robert Toyer can do. And there's no doubt that he
has got big stage written all over. That sort of
right foot, that fan, he's got a flick passing him.
But I'll tell you what he's going to have to
have one of the best defensive performance in his lifetime
(02:17):
because he will be coming up against Latroll Mitchell. That's
the that's the disadvantage for you. If I'm sitting in Queensland,
You've got Hammer and Rob Toyer against Stephen Crichton and
Latrell Mitchell. Yes, yeah, that's that's that's a mismatch if
you just put on paper.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, on paper.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I said before about Latrell and Stephen Crichton growing up
watching Origin through the eighties and remind does remind me
as far as physical presence and intimidation June Miles of Malmeninger.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's got that, It's got that that big.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
How Okay, if you've got Stephen and Latrell and your
Moses and Cleary, what's your style of play?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, let's talk about that right.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I look at the New South Wales side and
it's a great yardage side, great YARDI side Dylan Edbwood,
Brian Zach Lomax.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
They will dominate yardage, They'll alleviate a lot of pressure
off the forwards.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And if New South Wales can win yardage, that means
that we will consistently put Nathan Cleary in a position
for attacking kicks. And as you know, if you've got
Nathan consistently getting down there and be able to put
in the attacking kicks, then you he's going to start
nailing them.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know they're going to start. He's going to produce tries.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So if we're talking about the style of football will play,
I think simplicity. I think simplicity, very direct, get up field.
I don't want to I've said this before, to start
the game. I really want to see Nathan and Mitchell
Moses running the football early, get their compass right. Don't
want to see the ball just pushed sideways. I think
(03:52):
you know that will go away from our strengths out
the strength of this New South Wales side with those
back threes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is going to be playing nice and direct.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think New South Wales has got more combination work
with the ability to move the football when is Aeo
goes there, like his ability to know when to pull
the trigger and pass. And Nathan he's better than anyone
else in the game, so he'll understand when to run
and when to pass. I just feel like with those
centers that you have, they need to get the ball
at some stage right. So you're going to shift the
(04:22):
ball promoted to give them the opportunity one on one.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's funny you said about moving the football there. I
think New South Wales has got to be They've got
to be selected when they shift the ball.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I suppose what I want to see is a little
bit of a shift there, a little bit of shift there.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Go back to a little bit shift what you're looking for.
If we're going to move for pole playing nice and direct,
get the ball to an edge and then open the
field up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, if that's we got the ability.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
For Latrell and Stephen Crichton to move and start to
swing together on one side of the field, and.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Then for Queensland to win. I think their style of
player is going to be, like I said earlier, a
little bit more long gamish than New South Wales. If
they're foward, per can be dominant for longer periods, keep
the score line close. I think Munster, I think Calen
Ponger and I think Harry Grant have individual bruants in them,
so it's more like a team game. To get to
(05:14):
the seventy fifth minute and then one of the best players,
yeah strike I from Queensland. I'm worried about Latrelle and
Stephen Crichton whose New South Wales worried about.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For Queensland, it looks it's Munster, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And because we've said this before, when you talk about
the greatest Oriagin players of all time, we always looked
at the past with rose colored glasses, you know, we
glorify the past a.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Lot of times.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But when you talk about the greatest Origin plays of
all time, he's got to be. He's got to be
in the conversation. Things he has done for Queensland, you know,
when they've needed in big games, in big moments, he
just always stands up.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You talk about that Origin debut where he got Men
of the Match and you blokes tell me that his
last training session going into that game is probably the
worst training session. Now, how are we going to shuffle
this flag out of the seamon?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
He came up to me and said, mate, what do
I do? I just trained so bad? I said, mate,
just keep doing what you doing. He'd be right mate,
But that that mindset like is what makes him great.
And I feel like if he can rub off on
Kaylen Palmer who's coming from Newcastle, that's he's in he's
in a run himself at Clubland. But what Kaylen has
(06:27):
done for Queensland over his course, there's flashes of brilliance. Yeah,
I'll tell you what, Like if if, if Billy can
just get Kaylen in a really good spot. I just
think that combination of Munster and Kaylen Pomer together, particularly
on both their favored left hand side, could be the
thing for Queenland.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Just on Munster. He was on the show last night.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
He's a character that's not that bad, but like he's
just he's a class actor and particularly the way he
has a lot to be made. But I no want
to go on about but how he's turned his life around.
You sitting there last night, like kicking the burs and
stopping that, I mean, you know that's hard to do
because a lot of it is culture. We get there
in rugby league. I said it last night. You know,
(07:12):
you have a win, you want to have a beer.
You have a loss, you want to have a beer.
You let's find a reason to have a beer together.
And for Munster to actually kick that and turn his
life around. It's a lot more difficult than you know,
than it seems. So he's incredible. How Fitty looks eighty
nine key laps.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
The great players always find something to improve in. Now,
you and I sit here and say, there's not a
lot he can improve on the football field, right, But
I'll tell you what, there's a fair chunk he could
improve off the field to help that. And there's no
doubt that anyone that's sort of overtakes the mickey, but
anyone that's sort of gone off the drink or applied
themselves more. The proof is in the performance. It shows
(07:52):
up at some stage.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And it shows the attitude. It shows attitude.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Preg nomination for New South Wales is Nahing Cleary, Mitchell Moses,
and on paper and in theory this is a brilliant combination.
But as we said before, Mitchell's in the six and
there's no doubt Mitchell probably will have to play left
to play a slightly different role that does with paramount.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I think, yes, I agree, and there'll be a sort
of let one go, you know, the other one stands
up and takes. But I really like how Laurie Day
explained that decision. The kicking game in Origin is crucial
and Mitchell moses the best kicker from fifty meters plus.
He'll turn an average set into a great set and
if he can control the long game kicking and as
(08:37):
it gets closer to the trialer Nathan controls a little
bit more. I think that's the ying and the yang
that work for New South Wales and ultimately, if you
want to New South Wales to win, those two will
find the best read of I think that's where it sits.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And it's a great combination coop because I mean their
big game experience, particularly Nathan, but Mitchell's a lot of
big game experience as well, and he's got that and
Mitchell's got plenty of healthy against so going up to
some Corps stadium is not gonna worry either of because
as you're no coops like and I say this fair
bit young playmakers, when you're going into really big games,
(09:11):
it's really important going into big games, when you're in
the halves amongst all the chaos is going on, You've
got to keep your head and you've you've got to
control your adrenaline. Ice fine, and it's tempted when you
get into those really big games and the adrenaline starts
pouring through you and the first thing you start to
do is.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Zinging the ball around sidelines.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Is sold on a little bit where these two blokes
know what it takes to win big games. Very level headed,
very good pushing sides around the park.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's great combination.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
If you're Billy, what are you doing with Tom Didon?
What's your plan? Because he is more than just a
player that sits there.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Is Yeah, well, I mean, I mean you're not going
to replace Munster or DC, you know, so it's an
interesting one.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Coops, So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, does he is he there just to relieve
Harry Grant?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I think Harry Grant stays out there too. The thing
for me is, I think Billy needs to tie the
injection of Tom Diddon. Patrick Carrigan is a beast. He
will play eighty minutes, but to him be full throttle
and lead that pack will be hard for him to do.
So it's almost like you get Carrigan off after thirty minutes,
(10:18):
put Diaden on it lock if the game is in
your favor, if there's a swing of possession coming Queensland's way,
get him on the field strike and then after five
minutes in the second half, if it feels like it's
gone the la, get Carrigan back out there for a
period of time, then he might be able to strike
with fifteen to go again. But he is too valuable
because the greatest strength of Tom Didon is the show
(10:39):
and go. Once there's fatigue in the game of origin,
I don't care who you are, the fuel tank is empty,
and if he's in front of you, that speed and
footwork and the sharpness at which he comes at you
at I think that could be a play. But he
needs to time that card perfectly because if it's defending
all the time, he's just going to be caught the
washing machine at all.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Talking about the Cooper, He's perfectly suit into that thirteen role, isn't.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
He's got all the attributes you know.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, he's quick, he's got good he's got good first
step quickness, he's got the show and go a little
bit of skill, he's got good footwork.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But crucially he's tough and.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
That's why I say he'll make his tackles. But the
timing of when Queensland, if Billy can predict the possession
count go in their favor for a ten minute period,
that's when you get him on the field. Anyone.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, Corey Harsbrough and that surprise that surprises me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, you know, the Lindsay Collins back in after one game.
Maybe he could have played there, but Lindsay's done it.
Lindsay's the type of guy that you give him that color,
that jersey that you're wearing right now. I know he
puts the Superman cape on, right, So I think that's
the one year. But I don't mind Furmore and Lierro
(11:51):
like there's a little bit of enthursdays and there, and
the way that Billy has coached the likes of Riese
Walsh particularly Robbed Twitter. He put Hammer in the centers
when everyone was like, oh, I don't know, Like he
backs youth because he sees a lot of energy energy
in them.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Just looking in your southwest side.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
As I've said before, if I was Lorry, you know
i'd be I'd be sitting down in the last two
weeks going okay, where can I can I get perhaps
in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
What are you thinking about? Max King?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's a it's an interesting one weld under world under maxis.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
He's been obviously club for club form because.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You think about that pack and it's got Kurt Man
and Hayward play there a little bit like they're a
smallish pack compared But his performance up against the Roosters
was very good. Yeah, he got smashed early on, but
then he was the biggest body in the middle that
turned the tide for the Dogs. And it just goes
to show that. You know, there's some other players that
(12:48):
were spoken more about. Ye May was in there, Stefano.
You talkmo, But Max King? How can I say this
comparatively to those guys? Max King probably does the one
if that makes sense. If someone needs to tackle himself
for a standstill for what fifteen to twenty minutes, I
think that's why Laurie would have gone with Max King.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well done Max, and to the family too. He's got
four generations of footballers.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, his dad was.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A good footballer. He played for the Gold Coast Surguls.
His grandfather, Johnny is a legend, you know. I mean
Johnny won mile of premierships with those incredible Saint George's
teams and then went and coasted Western Vision. They call
it the Last Ferry, the Last Great fairy Tale, where
they went Western Vision were put into the midweek the
(13:38):
Panasonic Cup or the MC Cup and won the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So yeah, they'd be very, very proud nose.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Last week we're talking about just telling a lie of
the football, and we did a lot of it last week,
but Lucky Galvin last night did a little one and
it just showed again the benefit of it. And you're
seeing Jamie Humphries. That little look in makes Humphreys turn in.
He's runner on the outside. Didn't quite give him enough time.
(14:13):
And you were just talking about there we probably overplayed
a little bit too much.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You're saying we might be influencing the halves and the competition.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh it must watch television.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
This is good, but I think it could be so
much better. See that the double look like he overplayed
his hand. If you talk about that rail play where
you've got one support player inside you, which is Puller
and save Farth on the outside, if he looks in
at Buller and stays straighter for a little bit longer
and then snaps out hard to Humphreys, I think you
put save Farth the way. I think you just overcooked
(14:45):
it slightly like there you go straight see that double
look he went out in out again? Yes, I think
if he was just square and went looked in here
and then bounced out to Humphreys. I think he puts yeah, yeah,
back roll through.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And it just shows that doesn't know what would talk
talking about how it disorientates the defense. So Jamie Humphreys
when he looks in, Jamie Humphreys as well looks in
and goes towards him.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dogs, Warriors and Sharks. You want to make a point
about these sorts, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Warriors, Warriors, Raiders, Sharks. So the Dogs are in first,
Storm are in fourth. Both of those teams have some
origin affected players. The Storm have been there a thousand times.
They'll know how to get through it. The Dogs this
is their first sort of time having a big chunk
of players involved. So I feel like the Sharks don't
have one origin player, the Warriors of Barnett, the Raiders
(15:35):
have young. I think it's an opportunity for these three teams,
particularly if you go and have a look at the draw.
I think the Sharks, the Warriors, and the Raiders it's
time for them to win a big chunk. I'm saying
six seven of the next eight take advantage of the
rest of the competition and fly out there and solidified
top four spot. Because those two teams don't want to
(15:57):
drop a top four spot, but these other three aren't
affected during Origin have a chance to move one of
those teams out for that run home towards back in
the year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's I think Dogs, Warriors and Raiders that started the.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Year moving into the mid season, for those guys to
be one, two, three, jeez, what odds you would get?
I mean, they're playing great football, like those three sides.
Is there anything in the game? Is there anything this
year apart from just natural improvement in those sides that
has basically turned the turn that the ladder on its
(16:29):
head a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I think for the Sharks, I think they're a consistent
team on the Fitzgibbon that they have been. They've played
finals probably once of big games, but I feel like
they've done the foundation of the last three years and
they're about to spring like they're about to understand what
it takes. The Warriors, for me, I think the Fisher
Harris Barnett leadership with the injection of Luke Metcalf. Shawn
(16:55):
Johnson was there, who was a legend of the Warriors
in New Zealand, but Luke's bought this sort of youthful enthusiasm,
leg speed and they capitalize on it, like some of
the defensive efforts and the moments that he has had
in the last few weeks, like he's a gun player.
And the Raiders, for me, I think they've just got
good balance between tough forward pack and aergetic outside backs.
(17:18):
But they if they can win I'm going to say
six on the next eight. Seven in the next eight,
I think they're going to start believing that they can
win the premiership definitely, and you look at you go
have a look at their their run potentially, like they've
got the Warriors, Rooster's South, then the bye after that
if they have won a big chunk of those. After that,
buy they've got teams towards the bottom of the ladder
(17:40):
and that could be a big thing for them. Finishing
top four and believing like that team I think needs
to believe that they can win it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
A lot of a lot of young guys on the
side make very fast side. Crucially've all got football ko weeks.
He Cheezy was good yesterday, particularly in the first half.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So was it Tarpani, Papoli and young So they've played
big chunk of finals back when Ricky got the Grand
Final in nineteen either side of that, but that outside
backs probably haven't played from off the tom. I had
a lot of big games. Yeah, so they need to
know that they're second third, you know, not going to
miss out on top four player home final. Like I
(18:18):
think that's something that those outside backs probably need. Belief
and confidence.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You just said about Luke Metcalf and I just just
wrote here. As we move into the halfway part of
the season, you know, Gold, Silver, Bronze as far as
individual players, and I've gone gold Stephen Crichton, I think
on because it's more than just performance, it's leadership an
impact he's.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Having on this competition.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Silver, I've gone Luke Metcalf for all the things you've
explained there, and Bronze.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Adam feriniul Blake.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
His performance souther nine against the Storm was one of
the best yardach performance I have seen. You know, as
you know, Coop, if you can run for over one
hundred meter you're doing good. He had over one hundred
post contact meters. For people don't know what's when once
you hit hit the defensive line, how you drive through.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So put it in context. You and I never had
post contact meters one hundred in one game.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He has been He has been incredible and as you
said before, finally now going into this season, everyone looked
at the addition of him into this side and go, okay,
now they're a contender. They're showing that. Now finally they're
showing to put you.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
On the spot here, Luke Metcalfe half Back of the
year right now. Oh you would have thought that at
the start of the season.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well after after round one, I saw a bit.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We spoke about this, I saw a bit in him
during the preseason, and then we went out to Vegas.
It was like, okay, maybe we missed it, but what
he's shown during pre season has definitely come through. And
you think about the talent that we have in the
half back position our competition. Look at the origin players, yes,
Roses Cleary, Cherry Evans, and he is right now ahead
of those in terms of performance. Leading the Daly Ms yep.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That that Vegas game, watching the Warriors and how they've
adjusted their football off that I thought the in Vegas,
the Warriors actually tried to do too much and I
ended up playing two sideways getting pushed over the sideline
from the Raiders. What they've done, They've simplified their football
they've Wade Egan has been so crucial to that side
(20:22):
and crucial to Metcalf because he's allowed. He allows Medcalf
to sometimes and I don't mean to take a rest,
but you mentally be able to just relax for a
little bit, you know, take some take some breathers, and
then just focus on his running game. So they're I
just I really like the way they're playing football. Wouldn't
that they wouldn't that be a story? You know, they
(20:43):
come through and win this competition with the Wars. You know,
they have been so good for the game. I had
fears keep going into this year. I thought, yeah, because
the support they were getting and you know, the War's phenomenon,
and then last year had a difficult season, and then
what happened in Round one in Vegas. I thot on,
they don't don't tell me they're going to drop straight off,
but they'll bounced back.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And credit to them because they've delivered off the back
of what they're doing playing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Give me a team who's who's doing better than the
latter indicates, So.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I have Panthers are down the bottom. They're a better
team than that. Of course, yes, I think this slow
start is really going to be a weight on their
back for a period of time. Like the way that
they have at stages shown that they are back. I
just they can't stay there for much longer. Do they
make finals. That's a long run, but I think they
(21:41):
can still. They might slip into eighth.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Those top sides.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Will whoever the Panthers play again in that that run home,
they be cheering against them because they sneak into the eight,
get in there, they can get all the way.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Win because in the big games they put it together.
When they're in Vegas, they put it together at different
stage the Roosters. Who else they beat the Broncos was it?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, they can put it together. What about you?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What is the love the Dragons? Dragons?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Dragons were terrific yesterday. Round one had a tough loss
to the Dogs. That form has shown that it's it's
good form. But they've lost three games by a single
single point. To me, they're not one of the top contenders. Okay,
but I just think they're playing better than THEO then
the latter indicates and I like what I really like
(22:32):
what Gutson has been a great pick up for them.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
His leadership has been has been terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I give Gatson a rat because the back end of
his time it looked as though he had lost his
spark and his spinning his legs, and he's always an
effort based player and he would never lose that. But
when you look at the Dragon's spine before the season started,
I thought, like, who's going to hit the scoreboard? Like
the halves are not like dynamic and running the football
(22:59):
and break out of the line, the line breakers, they're
good creative players, but what Guthson has done to the
attack has been the absolute difference. Otherwise there'd be in
a lot of trouble. Yeah, they would be.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Team you're worried about your old mom. Yeah, I'm the same,
really concerned about where this season is headed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Now I'm not worried about them. They're going good. But
you have my.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Old side, the Newcastle.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, it's made.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It's it's hard going at the moment, really hard going.
So they just can't unlock Kaylen. They just can't work.
They just can't find a formulae in their attack to
get him into consistently into space.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
If I was still capable, I would love to play
half back with Kaylen Ponger.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
See if we haven't, because like he is all the
attributes you need in someone to be a threat to
help you do your thing, and talking about some of
the ball playing, the nuances and things.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I know it's not as easy as what we say,
like there's some like some parts so that it's quite difficult.
But if you could just get some assistance for Klein,
they would be a much better team. And I'm not
saying Dylan Brown, I'm saying right now, yes, they need
to find something that even if it's as structured as
you know, let's move Kaylen over to the less hand
side of the field, park someone on the right, and once
(24:26):
that fullback puts too many numbers.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
On Kleine, take it.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Take it like it just needs to be something to
help him do his thing.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Coop. Kylen gets the ball and it's three on three.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He doesn't even need a numerical advantage the moment, it's
just even numbers. The defense sits. So sometimes I look
and they'll get there.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They'll work to the half field and I try to
little play on. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's as you know, working from the half field can
be problematic. Sometimes you want to work work the ball
to the fast height.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And just open the field after Klen.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
If I had anything to do with Jack Cogger, I
would say, Jack, come sit here and watch the last
twenty minutes of that Grand Final versus Penrith. See what
you did for clearing that. That is the art of
ball playing for kayleb Ponger. Watch it over and over
and over and over again. Get the feeling of going
past the markers, looking in, playing out and creating space,
(25:21):
timing of your runners around there. That is exactly what
Kaylin wants. He did it for Cleary. Now. I don't
know what's going on Newcastle, but it needs something to
help out.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Kaylen, no doubt, Brodie Coops state of origin?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Mate, what's upon us?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And yes, I mean I'm going to have to have
the girls with wardrobe come on better.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
That's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Don't play
It's all the best stat is What do you what
do you think about the respective sides?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Firstly your Coins Land side, well.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I think from both teams, I think sort of injuries
have played a part. You know, both Laurie and Billy
would have had a plan and then a few injuries
late sort of change those. I think there's definitely a
different style of play. I think I think the Moses
Cleary Yo combination is something that is repetition trust, so
(00:30):
there's a lot of combo work in that and they
will move the football around a little bit more yep
for the Maroons and that sort of storm combination of
Munster and put Harry Grant in that throw Kalin in
the back. I think Billy's game plan will be long
game and one of their best players to come up
with a play, if that makes sense. I don't think
there's a lot of combination work compared to the New
(00:51):
South Wales side, but I think both have strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
What do you reckon good looking pack coins pack wake
Tina ruben Cot I love corderis player Jeremiah and I
is a good form and Carrying's got that mouth injury,
but he's going to be okay, Yeah, it's a it's
a strong pack with Harry Grant through the middle.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's it's funny looking at.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The the nature of the Queensland back line.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's very much attack based.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And when you look at New South Wales, which get
to in a second, it's more you know, I look
at I look at our wingers and our and our
full back.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's very much yardage based. But look Queensland.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Look monster there hammer the bench, Ded and Lindsay Collins
both for more gets the start world done, Trentley eero.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But the big one is Robert Toyer.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Wow, yeah was it ten games into his career and
he's playing origin That normally doesn't happen for some of
the best players. They ever well in the game, really well.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
As you know, if Billy picks him, you know he's
ready thorough.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yes, if Billy's watched more football than you and I, right,
But we sit there and have seen glimpses of what
Robert Toyer can do. And there's no doubt that he
has got big stage written all over. That sort of
right foot, that fan, he's got a flick passing him.
But I'll tell you what he's going to have to
have one of the best defensive performance in his lifetime
(02:17):
because he will be coming up against Latroll Mitchell. That's
the that's the disadvantage for you. If I'm sitting in Queensland,
You've got Hammer and Rob Toyer against Stephen Crichton and
Latrell Mitchell. Yes, yeah, that's that's that's a mismatch if
you just put on paper.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, on paper.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I said before about Latrell and Stephen Crichton growing up
watching Origin through the eighties and remind does remind me
as far as physical presence and intimidation June Miles of Malmeninger.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's got that, It's got that that big.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
How Okay, if you've got Stephen and Latrell and your
Moses and Cleary, what's your style of play?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, let's talk about that right.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I look at the New South Wales side and
it's a great yardage side, great YARDI side Dylan Edbwood,
Brian Zach Lomax.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
They will dominate yardage, They'll alleviate a lot of pressure
off the forwards.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And if New South Wales can win yardage, that means
that we will consistently put Nathan Cleary in a position
for attacking kicks. And as you know, if you've got
Nathan consistently getting down there and be able to put
in the attacking kicks, then you he's going to start
nailing them.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know they're going to start. He's going to produce tries.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So if we're talking about the style of football will play,
I think simplicity. I think simplicity, very direct, get up field.
I don't want to I've said this before, to start
the game. I really want to see Nathan and Mitchell
Moses running the football early, get their compass right. Don't
want to see the ball just pushed sideways. I think
(03:52):
you know that will go away from our strengths out
the strength of this New South Wales side with those
back threes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is going to be playing nice and direct.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think New South Wales has got more combination work
with the ability to move the football when is Aeo
goes there, like his ability to know when to pull
the trigger and pass. And Nathan he's better than anyone
else in the game, so he'll understand when to run
and when to pass. I just feel like with those
centers that you have, they need to get the ball
at some stage right. So you're going to shift the
(04:22):
ball promoted to give them the opportunity one on one.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's funny you said about moving the football there. I
think New South Wales has got to be They've got
to be selected when they shift the ball.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I suppose what I want to see is a little
bit of a shift there, a little bit of shift there.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Go back to a little bit shift what you're looking for.
If we're going to move for pole playing nice and direct,
get the ball to an edge and then open the
field up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, if that's we got the ability.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
For Latrell and Stephen Crichton to move and start to
swing together on one side of the field, and.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Then for Queensland to win. I think their style of
player is going to be, like I said earlier, a
little bit more long gamish than New South Wales. If
they're foward, per can be dominant for longer periods, keep
the score line close. I think Munster, I think Calen
Ponger and I think Harry Grant have individual bruants in them,
so it's more like a team game. To get to
(05:14):
the seventy fifth minute and then one of the best players,
yeah strike I from Queensland. I'm worried about Latrelle and
Stephen Crichton whose New South Wales worried about.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For Queensland, it looks it's Munster, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And because we've said this before, when you talk about
the greatest Oriagin players of all time, we always looked
at the past with rose colored glasses, you know, we
glorify the past a.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Lot of times.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But when you talk about the greatest Origin plays of
all time, he's got to be. He's got to be
in the conversation. Things he has done for Queensland, you know,
when they've needed in big games, in big moments, he
just always stands up.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You talk about that Origin debut where he got Men
of the Match and you blokes tell me that his
last training session going into that game is probably the
worst training session. Now, how are we going to shuffle
this flag out of the seamon?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
He came up to me and said, mate, what do
I do? I just trained so bad? I said, mate,
just keep doing what you doing. He'd be right mate,
But that that mindset like is what makes him great.
And I feel like if he can rub off on
Kaylen Palmer who's coming from Newcastle, that's he's in he's
in a run himself at Clubland. But what Kaylen has
(06:27):
done for Queensland over his course, there's flashes of brilliance. Yeah,
I'll tell you what, Like if if, if Billy can
just get Kaylen in a really good spot. I just
think that combination of Munster and Kaylen Pomer together, particularly
on both their favored left hand side, could be the
thing for Queenland.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Just on Munster. He was on the show last night.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
He's a character that's not that bad, but like he's
just he's a class actor and particularly the way he
has a lot to be made. But I no want
to go on about but how he's turned his life around.
You sitting there last night, like kicking the burs and
stopping that, I mean, you know that's hard to do
because a lot of it is culture. We get there
in rugby league. I said it last night. You know,
(07:12):
you have a win, you want to have a beer.
You have a loss, you want to have a beer.
You let's find a reason to have a beer together.
And for Munster to actually kick that and turn his
life around. It's a lot more difficult than you know,
than it seems. So he's incredible. How Fitty looks eighty
nine key laps.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
The great players always find something to improve in. Now,
you and I sit here and say, there's not a
lot he can improve on the football field, right, But
I'll tell you what, there's a fair chunk he could
improve off the field to help that. And there's no
doubt that anyone that's sort of overtakes the mickey, but
anyone that's sort of gone off the drink or applied
themselves more. The proof is in the performance. It shows
(07:52):
up at some stage.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And it shows the attitude. It shows attitude.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Preg nomination for New South Wales is Nahing Cleary, Mitchell Moses,
and on paper and in theory this is a brilliant combination.
But as we said before, Mitchell's in the six and
there's no doubt Mitchell probably will have to play left
to play a slightly different role that does with paramount.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I think, yes, I agree, and there'll be a sort
of let one go, you know, the other one stands
up and takes. But I really like how Laurie Day
explained that decision. The kicking game in Origin is crucial
and Mitchell moses the best kicker from fifty meters plus.
He'll turn an average set into a great set and
if he can control the long game kicking and as
(08:37):
it gets closer to the trialer Nathan controls a little
bit more. I think that's the ying and the yang
that work for New South Wales and ultimately, if you
want to New South Wales to win, those two will
find the best read of I think that's where it sits.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And it's a great combination coop because I mean their
big game experience, particularly Nathan, but Mitchell's a lot of
big game experience as well, and he's got that and
Mitchell's got plenty of healthy against so going up to
some Corps stadium is not gonna worry either of because
as you're no coops like and I say this fair
bit young playmakers, when you're going into really big games,
(09:11):
it's really important going into big games, when you're in
the halves amongst all the chaos is going on, You've
got to keep your head and you've you've got to
control your adrenaline. Ice fine, and it's tempted when you
get into those really big games and the adrenaline starts
pouring through you and the first thing you start to
do is.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Zinging the ball around sidelines.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Is sold on a little bit where these two blokes
know what it takes to win big games. Very level headed,
very good pushing sides around the park.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's great combination.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
If you're Billy, what are you doing with Tom Didon?
What's your plan? Because he is more than just a
player that sits there.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Is Yeah, well, I mean, I mean you're not going
to replace Munster or DC, you know, so it's an
interesting one.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Coops, So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, does he is he there just to relieve
Harry Grant?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I think Harry Grant stays out there too. The thing
for me is, I think Billy needs to tie the
injection of Tom Diddon. Patrick Carrigan is a beast. He
will play eighty minutes, but to him be full throttle
and lead that pack will be hard for him to do.
So it's almost like you get Carrigan off after thirty minutes,
(10:18):
put Diaden on it lock if the game is in
your favor, if there's a swing of possession coming Queensland's way,
get him on the field strike and then after five
minutes in the second half, if it feels like it's
gone the la, get Carrigan back out there for a
period of time, then he might be able to strike
with fifteen to go again. But he is too valuable
because the greatest strength of Tom Didon is the show
(10:39):
and go. Once there's fatigue in the game of origin,
I don't care who you are, the fuel tank is empty,
and if he's in front of you, that speed and
footwork and the sharpness at which he comes at you
at I think that could be a play. But he
needs to time that card perfectly because if it's defending
all the time, he's just going to be caught the
washing machine at all.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Talking about the Cooper, He's perfectly suit into that thirteen role, isn't.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
He's got all the attributes you know.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, he's quick, he's got good he's got good first
step quickness, he's got the show and go a little
bit of skill, he's got good footwork.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But crucially he's tough and.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
That's why I say he'll make his tackles. But the
timing of when Queensland, if Billy can predict the possession
count go in their favor for a ten minute period,
that's when you get him on the field. Anyone.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, Corey Harsbrough and that surprise that surprises me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, you know, the Lindsay Collins back in after one game.
Maybe he could have played there, but Lindsay's done it.
Lindsay's the type of guy that you give him that color,
that jersey that you're wearing right now. I know he
puts the Superman cape on, right, So I think that's
the one year. But I don't mind Furmore and Lierro
(11:51):
like there's a little bit of enthursdays and there, and
the way that Billy has coached the likes of Riese
Walsh particularly Robbed Twitter. He put Hammer in the centers
when everyone was like, oh, I don't know, Like he
backs youth because he sees a lot of energy energy
in them.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Just looking in your southwest side.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
As I've said before, if I was Lorry, you know
i'd be I'd be sitting down in the last two
weeks going okay, where can I can I get perhaps
in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
What are you thinking about? Max King?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's a it's an interesting one weld under world under maxis.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
He's been obviously club for club form because.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You think about that pack and it's got Kurt Man
and Hayward play there a little bit like they're a
smallish pack compared But his performance up against the Roosters
was very good. Yeah, he got smashed early on, but
then he was the biggest body in the middle that
turned the tide for the Dogs. And it just goes
to show that. You know, there's some other players that
(12:48):
were spoken more about. Ye May was in there, Stefano.
You talkmo, But Max King? How can I say this
comparatively to those guys? Max King probably does the one
if that makes sense. If someone needs to tackle himself
for a standstill for what fifteen to twenty minutes, I
think that's why Laurie would have gone with Max King.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well done Max, and to the family too. He's got
four generations of footballers.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, his dad was.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A good footballer. He played for the Gold Coast Surguls.
His grandfather, Johnny is a legend, you know. I mean
Johnny won mile of premierships with those incredible Saint George's
teams and then went and coasted Western Vision. They call
it the Last Ferry, the Last Great fairy Tale, where
they went Western Vision were put into the midweek the
(13:38):
Panasonic Cup or the MC Cup and won the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So yeah, they'd be very, very proud nose.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Last week we're talking about just telling a lie of
the football, and we did a lot of it last week,
but Lucky Galvin last night did a little one and
it just showed again the benefit of it. And you're
seeing Jamie Humphries. That little look in makes Humphreys turn in.
He's runner on the outside. Didn't quite give him enough time.
(14:13):
And you were just talking about there we probably overplayed
a little bit too much.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You're saying we might be influencing the halves and the competition.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh it must watch television.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
This is good, but I think it could be so
much better. See that the double look like he overplayed
his hand. If you talk about that rail play where
you've got one support player inside you, which is Puller
and save Farth on the outside, if he looks in
at Buller and stays straighter for a little bit longer
and then snaps out hard to Humphreys, I think you
put save Farth the way. I think you just overcooked
(14:45):
it slightly like there you go straight see that double
look he went out in out again? Yes, I think
if he was just square and went looked in here
and then bounced out to Humphreys. I think he puts yeah, yeah,
back roll through.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And it just shows that doesn't know what would talk
talking about how it disorientates the defense. So Jamie Humphreys
when he looks in, Jamie Humphreys as well looks in
and goes towards him.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dogs, Warriors and Sharks. You want to make a point
about these sorts, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Warriors, Warriors, Raiders, Sharks. So the Dogs are in first,
Storm are in fourth. Both of those teams have some
origin affected players. The Storm have been there a thousand times.
They'll know how to get through it. The Dogs this
is their first sort of time having a big chunk
of players involved. So I feel like the Sharks don't
have one origin player, the Warriors of Barnett, the Raiders
(15:35):
have young. I think it's an opportunity for these three teams,
particularly if you go and have a look at the draw.
I think the Sharks, the Warriors, and the Raiders it's
time for them to win a big chunk. I'm saying
six seven of the next eight take advantage of the
rest of the competition and fly out there and solidified
top four spot. Because those two teams don't want to
(15:57):
drop a top four spot, but these other three aren't
affected during Origin have a chance to move one of
those teams out for that run home towards back in
the year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's I think Dogs, Warriors and Raiders that started the.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Year moving into the mid season, for those guys to
be one, two, three, jeez, what odds you would get?
I mean, they're playing great football, like those three sides.
Is there anything in the game? Is there anything this
year apart from just natural improvement in those sides that
has basically turned the turn that the ladder on its
(16:29):
head a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I think for the Sharks, I think they're a consistent
team on the Fitzgibbon that they have been. They've played
finals probably once of big games, but I feel like
they've done the foundation of the last three years and
they're about to spring like they're about to understand what
it takes. The Warriors, for me, I think the Fisher
Harris Barnett leadership with the injection of Luke Metcalf. Shawn
(16:55):
Johnson was there, who was a legend of the Warriors
in New Zealand, but Luke's bought this sort of youthful enthusiasm,
leg speed and they capitalize on it, like some of
the defensive efforts and the moments that he has had
in the last few weeks, like he's a gun player.
And the Raiders, for me, I think they've just got
good balance between tough forward pack and aergetic outside backs.
(17:18):
But they if they can win I'm going to say
six on the next eight. Seven in the next eight,
I think they're going to start believing that they can
win the premiership definitely, and you look at you go
have a look at their their run potentially, like they've
got the Warriors, Rooster's South, then the bye after that
if they have won a big chunk of those. After that,
buy they've got teams towards the bottom of the ladder
(17:40):
and that could be a big thing for them. Finishing
top four and believing like that team I think needs
to believe that they can win it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
A lot of a lot of young guys on the
side make very fast side. Crucially've all got football ko weeks.
He Cheezy was good yesterday, particularly in the first half.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So was it Tarpani, Papoli and young So they've played
big chunk of finals back when Ricky got the Grand
Final in nineteen either side of that, but that outside
backs probably haven't played from off the tom. I had
a lot of big games. Yeah, so they need to
know that they're second third, you know, not going to
miss out on top four player home final. Like I
(18:18):
think that's something that those outside backs probably need. Belief
and confidence.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You just said about Luke Metcalf and I just just
wrote here. As we move into the halfway part of
the season, you know, Gold, Silver, Bronze as far as
individual players, and I've gone gold Stephen Crichton, I think
on because it's more than just performance, it's leadership an
impact he's.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Having on this competition.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Silver, I've gone Luke Metcalf for all the things you've
explained there, and Bronze.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Adam feriniul Blake.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
His performance souther nine against the Storm was one of
the best yardach performance I have seen. You know, as
you know, Coop, if you can run for over one
hundred meter you're doing good. He had over one hundred
post contact meters. For people don't know what's when once
you hit hit the defensive line, how you drive through.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So put it in context. You and I never had
post contact meters one hundred in one game.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He has been He has been incredible and as you
said before, finally now going into this season, everyone looked
at the addition of him into this side and go, okay,
now they're a contender. They're showing that. Now finally they're
showing to put you.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
On the spot here, Luke Metcalfe half Back of the
year right now. Oh you would have thought that at
the start of the season.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well after after round one, I saw a bit.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We spoke about this, I saw a bit in him
during the preseason, and then we went out to Vegas.
It was like, okay, maybe we missed it, but what
he's shown during pre season has definitely come through. And
you think about the talent that we have in the
half back position our competition. Look at the origin players, yes,
Roses Cleary, Cherry Evans, and he is right now ahead
of those in terms of performance. Leading the Daly Ms yep.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That that Vegas game, watching the Warriors and how they've
adjusted their football off that I thought the in Vegas,
the Warriors actually tried to do too much and I
ended up playing two sideways getting pushed over the sideline
from the Raiders. What they've done, They've simplified their football
they've Wade Egan has been so crucial to that side
(20:22):
and crucial to Metcalf because he's allowed. He allows Medcalf
to sometimes and I don't mean to take a rest,
but you mentally be able to just relax for a
little bit, you know, take some take some breathers, and
then just focus on his running game. So they're I
just I really like the way they're playing football. Wouldn't
that they wouldn't that be a story? You know, they
(20:43):
come through and win this competition with the Wars. You know,
they have been so good for the game. I had
fears keep going into this year. I thought, yeah, because
the support they were getting and you know, the War's phenomenon,
and then last year had a difficult season, and then
what happened in Round one in Vegas. I thot on,
they don't don't tell me they're going to drop straight off,
but they'll bounced back.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And credit to them because they've delivered off the back
of what they're doing playing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Give me a team who's who's doing better than the
latter indicates, So.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I have Panthers are down the bottom. They're a better
team than that. Of course, yes, I think this slow
start is really going to be a weight on their
back for a period of time. Like the way that
they have at stages shown that they are back. I
just they can't stay there for much longer. Do they
make finals. That's a long run, but I think they
(21:41):
can still. They might slip into eighth.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Those top sides.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Will whoever the Panthers play again in that that run home,
they be cheering against them because they sneak into the eight,
get in there, they can get all the way.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Win because in the big games they put it together.
When they're in Vegas, they put it together at different
stage the Roosters. Who else they beat the Broncos was it?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, they can put it together. What about you?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What is the love the Dragons? Dragons?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Dragons were terrific yesterday. Round one had a tough loss
to the Dogs. That form has shown that it's it's
good form. But they've lost three games by a single
single point. To me, they're not one of the top contenders. Okay,
but I just think they're playing better than THEO then
the latter indicates and I like what I really like
(22:32):
what Gutson has been a great pick up for them.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
His leadership has been has been terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I give Gatson a rat because the back end of
his time it looked as though he had lost his
spark and his spinning his legs, and he's always an
effort based player and he would never lose that. But
when you look at the Dragon's spine before the season started,
I thought, like, who's going to hit the scoreboard? Like
the halves are not like dynamic and running the football
(22:59):
and break out of the line, the line breakers, they're
good creative players, but what Guthson has done to the
attack has been the absolute difference. Otherwise there'd be in
a lot of trouble. Yeah, they would be.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Team you're worried about your old mom. Yeah, I'm the same,
really concerned about where this season is headed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Now I'm not worried about them. They're going good. But
you have my.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Old side, the Newcastle.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, it's made.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It's it's hard going at the moment, really hard going.
So they just can't unlock Kaylen. They just can't work.
They just can't find a formulae in their attack to
get him into consistently into space.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
If I was still capable, I would love to play
half back with Kaylen Ponger.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
See if we haven't, because like he is all the
attributes you need in someone to be a threat to
help you do your thing, and talking about some of
the ball playing, the nuances and things.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I know it's not as easy as what we say,
like there's some like some parts so that it's quite difficult.
But if you could just get some assistance for Klein,
they would be a much better team. And I'm not
saying Dylan Brown, I'm saying right now, yes, they need
to find something that even if it's as structured as
you know, let's move Kaylen over to the less hand
side of the field, park someone on the right, and once
(24:26):
that fullback puts too many numbers.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
On Kleine, take it.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Take it like it just needs to be something to
help him do his thing.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Coop. Kylen gets the ball and it's three on three.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He doesn't even need a numerical advantage the moment, it's
just even numbers. The defense sits. So sometimes I look
and they'll get there.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They'll work to the half field and I try to
little play on. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's as you know, working from the half field can
be problematic. Sometimes you want to work work the ball
to the fast height.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And just open the field after Klen.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
If I had anything to do with Jack Cogger, I
would say, Jack, come sit here and watch the last
twenty minutes of that Grand Final versus Penrith. See what
you did for clearing that. That is the art of
ball playing for kayleb Ponger. Watch it over and over
and over and over again. Get the feeling of going
past the markers, looking in, playing out and creating space,
(25:21):
timing of your runners around there. That is exactly what
Kaylin wants. He did it for Cleary. Now. I don't
know what's going on Newcastle, but it needs something to
help out.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Kaylen, no doubt, Brodie Coops state of origin?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Mate, what's upon us?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And yes, I mean I'm going to have to have
the girls with wardrobe come on better.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
That's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Don't play
