We're about to find out 54 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.439 he always looks good. How are you doing, Georgie. We're 55 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.360 proudly wearing I'm. 56 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.159 Wearing the blue one and the and the reason, the 57 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.520 reason being is this in respect of my wife. I 58 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.759 told her a few weeks ago that I wanted this 59 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.360 hoodie because I saw her on television. Then she's gone 60 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.319 high and low and this woman, she's a godsend. She 61 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.840 she's she's scarred, scale scaled the whole earth, the founder, 62 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.039 and she got it for the plot this week. And 63 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.719 I wasn't worrying it. As she saw I wasn't gonna 64 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.080 wear it, and she she she hit me up. She goes, well, 65 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.199 I've done everything you had to find it. You might 66 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.280 as well wear it. I'll go, yeah, bugger herself. 67 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.240 That's putting it nicely. Yeah, yeah, well your lunk's better. 68 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.439 But she said, I spent two days trying to find 69 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.879 a damn thing. You're not even wearing it. That's exactly 70 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.360 what she said to you. Exactly what she said. So 71 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:42.840 that's what I'm worried. But you know what, it's a 72 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.919 nice hoody youlog the blue. Where's Origin twenty five? Than 73 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.639 christ in the candy got the can in the cannony, 74 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.319 pack it away. Let's pack that thing away. You know what, 75 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.240 we can't pack it away. It was going to unpack it. 76 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.439 It's unpacked. We going to unpack it. But before we do, 77 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.319 what's the good thing of the week. That's a very 78 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:00.360 very good question. 79 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.120 Yeah, okay, I'm going to I'm going to say last 80 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.919 week's good thing of the week what I said on 81 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.199 the last week's pod and Teasy. That's why at the 82 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.639 end of I think Origin two tea, I noticed Spencer 83 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.360 went up to Israel Isra and they exchanged some words 84 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.199 and look, it wasn't a hug, but it was definitely 85 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.399 a handshake. And I'm happy that the boys are buried 86 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.560 the hatchet because, like I said on last week's or 87 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.279 my solo effort, we know that Israel is a little 88 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.480 bit of an emotional human being and happily it's been 89 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.879 buried put away in the can, as you say, Nicotta, 90 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.560 and both of them move on, so because it's been 91 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.360 affecting both for a few years now, so let's let's 92 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.959 let's hope it's like the can gone and we're over it. 93 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.959 I think, I think, and obviously we're going to get 94 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.040 fully into it. But I think even just how everyone 95 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.240 supported Monster from both sides. 96 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.240 Standing yea, how can you're not outstanding? 97 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.279 That is just you're not wonderful, you know, like it's 98 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.920 it's and like I was saying to the guys, I 99 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.000 was like, it'll be, which I did see a few 100 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.959 comments which was just gross. But if people, you know, 101 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.199 kind of said, like Queensland one because of months his 102 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.240 father passing or whatever it was, and that is not 103 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.399 an excuse, right, Like Queensland are quite good historically with 104 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.920 their backs against the wall. But I think just the 105 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.680 thought of you know, going through that and then playing 106 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.639 and everything else, it was really. 107 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.319 I didn't do my homework, but I know that over 108 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.360 the years there's been two or three that I can remember, 109 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.560 and I can't pick who it is now, like in 110 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.000 Grand Final week where something similar has happened and if 111 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:54.680 they've gone and played yeah, or mother or father, you know, grandparents. 112 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.000 Yeah. So I think that was that was definitely and look, 113 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.600 I would have been really surprised if they hadn't backed him. 114 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.040 But and the other good thing of the week, because 115 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.199 it was someone's. 116 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.120 Birthday, that's the good that it would have been my 117 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.680 good thing of the weekend. And I think Tea's are 118 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.800 alluding to our big host Nichola's birthday. I think during 119 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.519 the weeks, the first person to wish me happy birthday 120 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.000 was yeah, of course at midnight, midnight, were you at 121 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:29.439 that late? 122 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.639 Do it with all my mates? I was like twelve 123 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:33.040 o three? 124 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.800 Good stuff? Good stuff. 125 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.439 Yeah, So that's that's probably my my sub good thing 126 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:42.600 of the week Nicholas Nicholas birthday, and yeah, off. 127 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.879 We I think I think probably even the Ezra thing right, 128 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:52.360 like Andel's been rife with just horrible scandalous stories. I 129 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.800 think it's just nice. 130 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.519 It was good, was nice or something nice? 131 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.319 Story is happening? 132 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.040 Yeah, I say, hud. They didn't hug, but they definitely 133 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.199 shook hands, and they definitely looked relieved all this thing. 134 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.480 What happened, whatever happened, Yeah, they look relieved. Like I 135 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.160 looked at their faces and they both look relieved. And 136 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.920 the first thing I thought that, you know what it's 137 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.160 good because he is an emotional human being, but the 138 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.959 sounds of it, I don't know. I don't know him, 139 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.279 but so good good he can sort. 140 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.240 Of does Spencer next year up to Jonathan Thursday. I 141 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.439 hope it's over, and that's not trying to get to you. 142 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.439 I hope that part of whatever it's been the last 143 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.720 three years it's going finish and. 144 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.879 Use the words rife, scandalous. But let's get into the 145 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.079 Origin showing where we start. 146 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.480 We're going to start with, Look, you know what, the 147 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.240 winners win, the winners can feast. So what do you 148 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.120 go for me to talk to me about the game. 149 00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.120 The tactics, talk to me, talk to me about everything, because. 150 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.839 Like I think even because I wasn't really concerned, like 151 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.680 I always get that, I think it was like six 152 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.879 forty seven, I got this spike of adrenaline that I 153 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.839 always do before I decided, and I was like, oh 154 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.879 my god, I'm really nervous. And everyone's like what and 155 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.000 I'm like because it's Origin, and they're like you're crazy, 156 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.720 and I'm like no, like every time, right, And I 157 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.920 wasn't concerned that we wouldn't win. I just didn't even 158 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.480 really think about it. But the minute that I saw 159 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.480 Monster in the sheds before the game and his eyes 160 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.679 were just wide and dialed in. I saw Kate well 161 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.159 and he's just a beast of a human anyway, but 162 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.440 you just literally I was like, he looks like he's 163 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.639 going to rip some heads off. It was just it 164 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.639 was beautiful. It was just so Enick would have seen 165 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.679 it today too. But I put up a post on 166 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.120 LinkedIn and I was like, I liked it. 167 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.039 I liked it. Yeah, I didn't love it. 168 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.720 I liked it, but I was like, this is why 169 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.440 I love footy, right when you have it leader that 170 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.960 leads from the front, doesn't take the credit. You know, 171 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.240 they have one goal, you know, and they're just working 172 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.039 towards that one goal. And look, Queenslanders have always had 173 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.679 that and I was I was saying this to Corey 174 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.159 this morning because we kind of came in late to 175 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.320 the competition. You know, we've had less teams in Queensland 176 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.080 as well. We're very much we're aware that we're kind 177 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.320 of like the poor brother of NRL like that. You 178 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.080 guys might not think that, but we kind of came 179 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.799 in second. So we've always kind of had that mentality. 180 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.320 I think so that's why it's like that, you know, 181 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.879 battling Queenslander mentality and floods and fires and everything else, 182 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.480 and it was. It was probably one of the best 183 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.360 games like I've seen. There were so many highlights. The 184 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.559 funniest one was when La Trail got kicked in the nuts. 185 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.759 I was but. 186 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:57.440 Just like Coats's first try did and because with it 187 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.440 did and one I actually thought Hammer was wished out. 188 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.039 I didn't even see the ball flick back, like yeah. 189 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.879 Harry Grant like you could tell. He was like, is 190 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.559 it a person or a post? He's like, oh, it's 191 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.000 a post that's going to go around. Like it was brilliant. 192 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.559 It was, and I think it was one minute to 193 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.480 go and the guys he was celebrating and I was like, nah, still, 194 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.159 we have to hold on, and it's like I'm going 195 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.440 to bed, well done, and I was like I will. 196 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.320 Just I thought I was going to bed. I ended 197 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.519 up ended up working till about eleven thirty. Yeah, I 198 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.759 was like and like I was obviously messaging ten and 199 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.879 rightly so saying congrats Queensland did everything right. They completely 200 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.360 deserve it. I was more disappointed than New South Wales 201 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.360 that I was honestly expecting a better showing than that. Right, 202 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.320 taking nothing away from Queensland because their line speed, especially 203 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.759 the defense was awesome. Everything they did was really good. 204 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.840 But New South Wales and me were just so disappointing. 205 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.440 Louie was you know, in game two he sets the 206 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.240 tone by kicking it out on the fall. Last night 207 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.639 he sets the tone by lollipopping it into the goal 208 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.679 and giving him a seven tackle set which they ended 209 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.960 up scoring from on the back end of it. Like 210 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.080 just everything was Queensland's line speed was there in New 211 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.960 South Wales, it was just it looked they looked flat, 212 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:20.679 I don't know, and. 213 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.480 They looked tired, I don't. 214 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.600 Know, playing at home in a decider, there's no excuse, 215 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:30.200 you know what I mean. And Queensland like force that 216 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.639 momentum onto him as well. Right, So full props to 217 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.759 queens then, Like I said, not taking any away from them, 218 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.799 I was just really disappointed in what the Blues dished out. 219 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.200 I was hoping for better than that. 220 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:46.480 I think energetically too, That's what I mean, even mentally, 221 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.440 like there was such a force you could I could 222 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.080 feel it, but it. 223 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.200 Was just like even like for the first half an 224 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.159 hour or so, like I'm watching I'm young the backs 225 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.879 of them, all the hit ups, like you know what, 226 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.559 do you need a momentum shift? We're the big boys 227 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.879 to come in and there were nowhere to be seen. 228 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:10.200 Well didn't Queensland did perfect completions. 229 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.000 In the first time. Yeah, and I think. 230 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.120 There was like we got our challenges except the very 231 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.840 last one. And you know, I was talking to Shane, 232 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.240 one of our mates, and we were watching the guys 233 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.240 run out in his Queensland and he's like, oh god, 234 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.879 New South Wales or like big boys, right, And I 235 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.200 was like, well, the problem with having bigger players when 236 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:34.159 you've got the other side smaller and younger. They're very zippy, 237 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.120 so the bigger players are going to get gassed earlier. 238 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.159 And they looked tired at like the thirty first minute. 239 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.200 They just they just didn't look prepared. I don't know. 240 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.080 I don't know if it's a Lorry daily thing. I 241 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.279 don't know if it's a Lorry daily thing. But they 242 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.279 just didn't look hungry. 243 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.759 You know, I just I guess. 244 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.960 And you know, you know, Queensland's going to be emotionally 245 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.320 up because of the months, the factor, so you prepare 246 00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:58.879 for that as well. 247 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.720 It wasn't even so the news up here, right, so, 248 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.279 and I think I was talking about it last time, 249 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.480 but you had DC gets swopped out, but you guys 250 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.120 did it to DIDSCO last year. So no, My everyone 251 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.720 was so shocked. But I always look at everything through 252 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.039 a recruitment lens. So you always have people and companies 253 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.759 that keep people too long because they're loyal or they 254 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.799 feel bad letting them go or whatever. Billy's whole thing 255 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.600 was like you know what, and it was very yeah, 256 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.720 again scandalous the way that he did it, but he 257 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.440 was like, I'm going to do what's best to win, 258 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.440 and so what do we have. We had Big Papa 259 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.559 come back, who also props to him. His wife just 260 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.200 had a baby. I was reading today Ricky Schuitt said 261 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.759 he's been sleeping in the hospital chair for like two 262 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.039 nights in a row. Get him out of retirement. Shibasaki, 263 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.320 who is like evenly paired with Jaminasaka, is my favorite 264 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.000 player now he comes in like just. 265 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.159 Forget Riach Wolf ready to go at fullback. 266 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:02.159 But yeah, Hamma's brilliant. Hamma was so up here, like 267 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.080 there's a lot of people saying how Billy did made 268 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.320 the wrong decisions. But for me, like when I work 269 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.000 with clients, I go, well, that's type of client I want, 270 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.559 because they're willing to go this is what's best for 271 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.480 the company or in this case, the state, or the game, 272 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:19.360 or you know what I mean, like the competition. Yeah, 273 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.759 and you know, I really try when I talk about origin, 274 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.200 I really try and see it through a new South 275 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.720 Wales Lens like I try and see the camaraderie. 276 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.720 I just no, you can't, you can't, it's not there. 277 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.320 You can't. 278 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:32.519 You know. 279 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:33.919 I don't know. 280 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.799 I don't know what it means to be a Queenslander, 281 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.080 but I want I want some. I want some because 282 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.279 I'm sick and tired of waking up Thursday morning hurting. 283 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.759 I don't want to hurt anymore. And I've heard most 284 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.799 of my life, most of my life. 285 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.519 But you've got to look at like, okay, even Lori 286 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.840 daily and Billy like, you've got to look at the 287 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.200 two comparisons, even in the way that they are like personally, 288 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.919 I think even if I go back to Game one 289 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.240 when Queensland lost, Billy wasn't standing up talking down to 290 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.679 everyone like Gloria was doing last night, like he's consoling 291 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.919 the guys with words, you know what I mean, Like 292 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.879 it's it's just a very different. 293 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.320 You don't what I reckon lost the series when I 294 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:23.919 lost Moses. Yeah, his kicking game made. It was so 295 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.799 different to what Lua was dishing up. 296 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.200 And even can have You can have all the skill 297 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.240 if you don't act and the not to be corny, 298 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.559 but if you don't have a heart piece, you're gonna 299 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.879 like you could have every single player also, thank god 300 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:42.360 Qatar wasn't playing, but every single player right, and they 301 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:46.480 can be brilliant, but if they're not in synergy the Blues. 302 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.399 This series for them was there to be won. They 303 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.360 weren't good enough to do it. But even if you 304 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.039 look at game two, they outscored Queensland and they lost 305 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.399 the game on conversions, right, they had no right to like, 306 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.759 It's like it was there to be taken. And then 307 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:10.080 last night it was dismal, embarrassing team. Like I wouldn't 308 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.960 have minded losing, like I said to you, you know, 309 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.159 twenty to sixteen or something, you know, but. 310 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.240 But to lose like that, it was like I think, 311 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.720 I think, I think to you answered a lot of 312 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.879 our questions and let me let me let me suggest that, 313 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:31.080 let me suggest that the team wasn't prepared, prepared, or whatsoever. 314 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.200 I think the minute we lost this Origin series was 315 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.639 the minute that they chose Laurie Daily. 316 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.279 To to cach. He's a failed He's a failed Origin coach. 317 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.679 I forget. Last year's decider was pretty close up until 318 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:45.559 like the sixty minute sixty. 319 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.080 One of the best games we've seen in decades. It 320 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.679 was a sensational game in terms of in terms of 321 00:16:52.720 --> 00:17:00.559 Queensland outstanding Billy master stroke, the decision as he made. 322 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.759 And you're saying that some of the Queenslanders thought that 323 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.920 he'd done the wrong moves. Well, I thought he had. Yeah, 324 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.480 I was in the same boat. But guess what, it's proven. 325 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.720 We talk, we can talk, we can look back and 326 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.359 talk with facts. Now, every decision he made he pulled 327 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.680 the right rain. And not only he pulled the right rain, 328 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.799 those particular players responded to him so and on on 329 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.960 on this particularly and well, let's go back to the 330 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.920 first game. Queensland steadily improved every game bit by bit 331 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.079 by bit by bit. U c FLS didn't really play 332 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.720 that well in the first game, but won the game 333 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.799 and continued to play the same way all the way through. 334 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.759 I suggest to you that it's a coaching thing again 335 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.200 number one, number two. 336 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.279 Sorry, So you know the thought that you know, last 337 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.240 night reminded me of you know when you see teams 338 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.759 going to the semis or going to a Grand final 339 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.839 and everything lifts. It's not n RL level, it's semi 340 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.799 final time. Yes, last night it was like watching one 341 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.920 team play finals and one teams. 342 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.039 Absolutely one team was playing origin. The other team was 343 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.160 barely playing, was barely playing first grade. Uh so they said, 344 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.519 you know how they say to you rise to the occasion. 345 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.000 You don't rise to the occasion. You rise to the 346 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.079 point of of your preparation. And we saw how her father, 347 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.640 Laurie Daily prepared that new SOS team. 348 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.079 It wasn't very high at all. 349 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.640 Nicholas Nicol said that there was there was no passion, 350 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.240 no love, no care, no power. Did see it? It's 351 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.559 not maybe not fair. It wasn't it wasn't it wasn't there, 352 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.240 It wasn't an it wasn't there. I wanted to talk 353 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:44.240 about Queensland because we should talk about Queensland. You mentioned 354 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.559 mentioned Hammer, so so Billy plays and and you know 355 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.039 what this wash between Walsh and the Hammer like both 356 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.839 of them exactly the same. You get the same, same 357 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.240 brilliants out of bathroom. But Billy wanted to play a 358 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.000 completely flat game, and he played a flat game and 359 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.720 he worked a treat. 360 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.119 Guys are genius. Guys are genius. 361 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.920 If if he played a wide game, he would have 362 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.279 brought Hammer, sorry, he would have brought Reese with his sweeps. 363 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.160 The guy's a genius. He's he's born to do this, 364 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:20.920 this job. Every mouse was the Japanese international Situaki whatever 365 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.480 his name is. Yeah, yeah, hey, I didn't know can 366 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.079 play that well. 367 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.279 Really, he's brilliant. 368 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.000 Broncos and and Tommy, Tommy didn't. If Tommy didn't is 369 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.039 in the premiere number seven in the country at the moment. 370 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.559 If he doesn't go on the Kangaroo Tour as number seven, 371 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.960 we know that there's something fishy happening. Let's let's talk 372 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.200 about the Blues. We said that they're not prepared, that 373 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.759 they were not prepared no way. 374 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.000 In the world. 375 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:53.640 Uh no, no, no, no power, no passion, no hunger. 376 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.720 Are they hardly bent the line. They never looked like 377 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.000 even wrote the last tackle options right. I know it 378 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:06.680 obviously worked well at but Loui beautiful. Let's let's talk individually. 379 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.559 I love it for me, It's just an overrated flop. 380 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.599 Okay, So so he brought no direction, he brought no nothing, nothing, 381 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:20.119 But its just bad timing, bad timing, holding on to 382 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.960 the ball second too long, so players were overrunning the past. 383 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.519 I saw about three or four passes from the Blues 384 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.680 that the ref didn't pick up. They don't know. 385 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:33.519 Both serious, yeah, both sides. You know, Jerome's cards are marked. 386 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.559 He won't play original. He won't see another blue blue 387 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.720 jersey again. If especially if Mitches are available, there will 388 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.279 be no blue jerseys going going to him. And and 389 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.000 you know what, he looked good in Penrith because there's 390 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:50.799 a system built around Nathan and Jerome and Yo and 391 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:54.880 the system makes them look good. The system makes them 392 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.480 look good. Nathan, you know what the excuses that he 393 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.640 is injured, let's let's have have a have a look 394 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.559 at this. Pay hass has to at the end of 395 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:10.960 the season, has to get his vertebrate removed, his vertebrate removed. 396 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.000 I was always taught as a youngster, whatever excuse you got, 397 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.480 if you take the field, you got no exactly. Okay, 398 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.400 this's guy somewhere else. 399 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.720 Brian Tojo hasn't got a hamstring at the moment, okay, 400 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.920 and he's done his other he's done his piece on 401 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.079
