Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kailey and Emily Jay wanted tonight on Hot Somato and
it's sort of Origin.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Dan to talk a bit more about it. We got
someone on the phone, Good morning, Adam Jackson from Channel nine.
How are you mate?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah? Pretty good things there are you? Now?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You've spent a little bit with the Origin team Queenstad
Orange team in camp in Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, I've been there since day one. Whether it's actually
COVID on the Gold Coast now down in Melbourne, and
I can fortunately tell you it looks like good weather
today Melbourne. I don't want to say it out loud
too much because you don't how quickly weather can change
in Melbourne, but yeah, Blue Skies at the moment, hopefully
no Blue victory and Maro own victory tonight in Origin day.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
What's it been like spending all that time sort of
watching what happens, reporting on it and letting us know
what's going on just from the raw eye and the
raw look that you've got. How are things looking?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's been a pretty seamless preparation for the Marines. Not
a lot going wrong, but just seeing the different personalities
like Billy Slade is usually a relaxed guy that he's
quite in teense, so focused, but then some of the
other guys are a bit jokey, more relaxed, like you're
Harry Grant in the team, your DCE, you captain. So yeah,
pretty pretty confident. I think if you're a Queensland it's
(01:10):
tonight and getting victory. But it's a new look Blues
team that made several changes of Troll Mitchell back, so
you know, you so are still very dangerous and Queensland
doesn't have a good record down here in Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, Joey John's has come out and said that Latrelle
is going to like spark a revival and run at
daily Cherry Evans and Reese Walsh's going to be sort
of on the end of a barrage and attack as
well this time round.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Again. Yeah, I find that surprising that if Latrell Mitchell
was that good, why didn't yourself I was not picking
for the first game, so apparently he's a big savior
for game two. But they didn't even want him to
the seen for game one. So Queensland has prepared so
much for the Latroll factor. He has been devastating in
the past against Queensland. But I think under Billy Slater's coaching.
He's smart enough to work out at formula Billy just
(01:57):
seems to be one step ahead with every move when
it comes to orige.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Just one step aside. Do you think at some stage
that Billy, after success with Queensland, that he may step
into coaching in the NRL.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Maybe one day, but I think it's a long way away.
So he's contracted for another couple of years to Queensland
in the Origin, but he's previously said if I'm not
Queensland's coach, I'm no one's coach. But I think maybe
five six years down the track at the Melbourne Storm
is your only possibility for Billy flavor because he has
so many off field interests with his commentary Wild Loord
of Sports. You're also into his horses. He's still got
(02:31):
a young family, so yeah, it's just a while away.
I think before we see Billy coach.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
In the NRL, he does love it, but he just
shows signs of a very modern day coach that's having
a lot of success. So you think what would he
do at Clubland? But Melbourn's the only option. He loves
living down there, so yeah, that was good answer. Lots
of good questions there too.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Daily I didn't ask anything.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, yeah, we'll have a go.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What are you gonna wear tonight at the footy Adder.
I'm going to wear one of the former our own
ties I've got. People are always into me having myron
tis as I've got working for Channel nine because they
have to rotate through origin and plus I'll be wearing
thermals because it'll be cold. I'm a boy from North Queensland,
so anything under twenty degrees is a cold day for me.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Have you been to the MCG before?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah? I was there. I actually went in yesterday afternoon
for the Morone's final training session. It's an amazing feeling,
the coliseum type atmosphere and you think, you know, the
Olympics have been held there, you know, warn is great wicket,
Maddy Hayden's centuries, the Bridstol Lions premierships over the year,
so many amazing sporting moments. Then we'll get to see
another one now written tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, when I asked you've been to the MCG and
you say training, have you been there legitimately with ninety
people there?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, not for a game. That's That's what I'm looking
forward to. And just talking to the Melbourni is down here.
They don't really understand rugby league, but they're massive sports
fans and they just want to sense the atmosphere and
you know when the team's run out tonight, you know
that's going to be a cool feeling and go to.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Say that's what Melbourne does well, it doesn't matter what sport,
they'll support it. And the reason O their supporter because
it builds community and they're out and about with their community.
It's a really good part of that state, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That's it. And they don't like you South Wales, which
I like as well. So they're pretty parochial in supporting
Queens n So I think tonight the crowd maybe seventy
percent Queens and supports thirty percent for the Blue.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
All right, we better bring it home then, Thank you, Adam,
and I'll look out look out for your tie.
