00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to episode four hundred and eighteen of the West

2
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Tigers Podcast. A little bit of a different podcast tonight.

3
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You have me in the hosting chair and the only

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 1>guest I have, or the only co host I have

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>tonight is Steve Stratton, how as do and.

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing these for three years. I don't know

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>whether I'm happy being called a guest, but yeah, hi Gary,

8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>nice to see it.

9
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little slip of the tongue. You know that

10
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I view myself as as the start of the show.

11
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>So everyone.

12
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Taking control of them. We'll suckle on you.

13
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Oprah. Well, I don't have any prizes to give away,

14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>but the boys are all out tonight. I think Eddie's

15
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>done a few too many podcasts this week after his

16
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>podcast with Adele earlier in the week, so well a

17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Dylan rob Bishara, I'll have two people annoyed at me now,

18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was a pretty good, good pod. So

19
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't had a chance to listen to that yet,

20
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>make sure you go out there and listen to that.

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Steve, you didn't get a chance to speak

22
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>about last weekend's lost to the Warriors over in New Zealand,

23
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>so I thought I'd start with your one word for

24
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that game against the Warriors.

25
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So I've been pretty busy. I haven't had much

26
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>chance to think much all about West Tiger stuff. So

27
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if this was read out on the

28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>pod last week, but.

29
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>It probably was that I didn't listen.

30
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's where I'm at too. But my one word

31
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>was demolished, and that we were just demolished at the ruck.

32
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>We were demolished either side of the football, which simply

33
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>means that when we ran the ball, we were absolutely

34
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>smashed and driven backwards, and when we defended their post

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>contacts would have been off the charts because they were

36
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>making Our first contact was very weird, and they just

37
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>had momentum in spades from the ruck, which is what

38
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors can do to you, and they did it

39
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>to us all game and we weren't we want a chance.

40
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my thoughts on our ability to win that ruck

41
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>area of the game. You did mention it is first contact.

42
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that's the primary area where we're letting

43
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>ourselves down.

44
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, our first contact has been poor. I was gonna

45
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>say for most of the year, you could say for

46
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years, you know. Yeah, we just we

47
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>just seen to bounce off that tackle. But even if

48
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't bounce off the tackle, the first contact is ineffective.

49
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, we might grab a hold, but we don't

50
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>we don't slow the play down, or we don't stop

51
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>the momentum and they're making three or four yards. And

52
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>then on top of that, after that first contact, we're

53
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>not putting We're not putting the big men on their backs.

54
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>But if we get them to the ground, we might

55
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>get them down to their knees, or we might get

56
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>them they fall on their bellies and then they're up.

57
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 2>They're up so fast, and the play the ball is quick,

58
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>and then they're at it again before we've set our

59
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>defensive line. And it is the basics of footy, right.

60
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>If you win the ruck, you win the game nine

61
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>times out of ten. And the way you win the

62
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>ruck is by slowing them down and not allowing them

63
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to get momentum. But I'll mention the other side of

64
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the football to Gary, and that's their line speed. Their

65
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 2>line speed was sensational. They came out on a mission

66
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and they beat us the punch when we had the football,

67
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>or they beat us to the ad line constantly, or game,

68
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>and that's why our halves were ineffective. But it's also

69
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>why we didn't get any momentum through our big fellas,

70
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>through the middle of the through the middle of the field.

71
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>See what do you put that down to, Steve? Do

72
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>you put it down to the makeup of our or

73
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>are you putting it down to the effort? Because I

74
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>have my thoughts around it, But what are your thoughts?

75
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, if we're talking about if we're talking about line speed,

76
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>that in a sense has nothing to do with us

77
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>in that they just came out with enthusiasm and in

78
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>tent and carried it through for the eighty minutes. But

79
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>what we then have to be able to do is

80
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>modify our game plan. Now, what I would suggest, when

81
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you've got a team that is getting up on you

82
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>incredibly quickly, you've either got to match them with that

83
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>speed and intensity. Either play the ball and try to

84
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>get out play the ball speed quicker so that they're

85
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>not set to jump the line like they were, or

86
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you've got to slow them down a little bit by

87
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>putting in kicks behind the line or getting the ball

88
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>out wide and beating beating their men rushing up fast

89
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and trying to get outside them. Now, we didn't We

90
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't have an answer to answer your question. We didn't

91
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>seem to have an answer to their line speed, and

92
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>we didn't seem to have a plan B or a

93
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>way of diffusing what they were doing to us or

94
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>coming up with a tactic that was going to overcome

95
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>what they were doing to us.

96
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 1>For these two issues that we've just spoken about. First

97
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>contact and line speed to me a circular. So if

98
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you aren't winning the ruck and you're getting put on

99
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>your back and you're going to slowly play the ball,

100
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that's going to allow the defense. They have quick wine

101
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>speed that allows them to get up because they're already

102
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 1>set back in defense. If you get a quick play

103
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball, they're on their heels and they can't get

104
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>moving forward as quick.

105
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>So that's exactly right. And then their line gets disrupted

106
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and they start to worry. They start to worry about

107
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 2>their line being straight and set and ready, and they

108
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>start thinking and their focus goes off that pace, and

109
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, their line speed diminishes rapidly because

110
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>of that. But we didn't do it, Gary.

111
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And fast line speed also helps you win the ruck

112
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>because you're getting to the ball runner before he gets

113
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>his momentum up, which means you're more likely to win

114
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the tackle. So it's very circular for me. I still

115
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>think the key part for us is that first contact.

116
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we're lacking that really big, destructive sort of

117
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 1>ball runner, the guy that we were hoping Hunt would

118
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 1>be a guy who can preferably start the game along

119
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>with Terrell Mate, who provides that point of difference that

120
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.399
<v Speaker 1>we don't have, and I think that's something we need

121
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 1>to look for, so.

122
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 2>To Mate, we're missing. We're missing the good version of

123
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Royce Hunt so much this year, like we needed him

124
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>so badly out there last week. And you know, I

125
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>don't know what it is, because he has played a

126
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 2>couple of decent games in reserve grade. Maybe he's still

127
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>carrying too much weight. He's not meeting those standards that

128
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>he needs to meet. Maybe because of that, the coaches

129
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>are frightened that he won't punch out the minutes that

130
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 2>they want that the bench players to be able to

131
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>punch out. I don't know the answer, but we are

132
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>really because we've said it all season. Terrell May does

133
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>an amazing job with the amount of work he does,

134
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>but he's not the guy. He's not the guy consistently

135
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>to push through the line. And you know, like in

136
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, you know, Jack Bird's been coming on trying

137
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to play play. He didn't last him, but trying to

138
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>play through the middle, he's not capable of doing that.

139
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 2>That's that's not his gig. We're just missing that strong

140
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>middle that's destructive and makes good post contact, mate, Can

141
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I mention the other thing, like you say, right, like

142
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the first first contact's a real problem, But the other

143
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>issue with us is also wrapping the ball up and

144
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>stopping the second phase play. Now, it didn't kill us,

145
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that didn't kill us on the weekend, it has in

146
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the past. But not only does our first contact have

147
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>to be strong, we have to work together in unison

148
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>to hold the ball runner and get your hands around

149
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the ball to stop the offload because that does untold

150
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>damage to us.

151
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Which is much easier to do though, is when you're

152
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 1>controlling the tackle. Yeah, if you don't have control of

153
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>the tackle and you're struggling to get the players to

154
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the ground, which we are because we lose the first contact,

155
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 1>it's easier for them to get their hand free. And

156
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.759
<v Speaker 1>it happens in reverse when we have the ball. When

157
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you're getting put on your back constantly and you're struggling

158
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to win the tackle, it's harder to get your arm free.

159
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting how all these things kind of tie in

160
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 1>together to result in us really losing that ruck in

161
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the middle in that game on the weekend, Which isn't

162
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 1>that surprising when you look at it when you have

163
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a look at that Warrior's pack, Like, the Warriors, no

164
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>matter who they have on the field, are always going

165
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to have a fairly big and damaging pack.

166
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we and historically we struggle against a big package.

167
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't doesn't necessarily have to be a mobile pack.

168
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just the brute strength they worry is they get

169
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>on top of us. And as I said at the

170
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the pod, we don't seem to be able

171
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to find a way to combat that during the game,

172
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, like we should. Obviously the team knows that

173
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.559
<v Speaker 2>when when we play a team like the Warriors, we're

174
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>going to be facing massive middle, a massive challenge in

175
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the middle. But when it does go against us, and

176
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 2>when we do start to cave in the middle, we

177
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>don't seem to have a way to address it. Yeah,

178
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>which is a worry.

179
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you're just pretty well explained probably one of

180
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the main reasons why we've lost nine in a row

181
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Warriors. Now, did you have any other takeaways

182
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>from the game.

183
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 2>No, that's pretty much it. I got. Our first contact

184
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>was Paul. I was really impressed with Adam. We have

185
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.279
<v Speaker 2>just written that down that when he went when he

186
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>went in to play first receiver and the way he ran,

187
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>he ran the ball and straightened the attack, like we

188
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>look dangerous with him. Now, I'm really impressed with the

189
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>fact that he's going to thirteen this weekend. I don't

190
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to see him go into the harvest.

191
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to see Latu Feinhu sort of push

192
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>out of position. So I'm glad we've remained with Lu

193
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and Feinhu. Having having do it in at thirteen and

194
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 2>playing that first first receiver role is something that I

195
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 2>think is going to help our attack. And we'll get

196
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 2>to this ladder and I might be jumping the gun,

197
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>but especially with the team we've got for this weekend,

198
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>where we're going to want to give good ball and

199
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>good space to our center pairing.

200
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's a pretty good segue because We've

201
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>got Adam Deweys multiple talking points throughout the pod. Tonight,

202
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>We're going to start a game of bisol hold. We're

203
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>stealing out of his game. He criticizes my games all

204
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>the time, so we'll use add East tonight by sale whole.

205
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>First question, Steve, Adam Dewey's future is as a ball

206
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>playing lot.

207
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm going to do a decle. I'm

208
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>going to hold it. I'm going to hold it because

209
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I do want to see more. And my reason is

210
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>pretty simple. He's as an attacking footballer. I think what

211
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 2>he provides at Locke as a ballplayer is really good

212
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>for us, really helpful. He will straighten the attack. His

213
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>experience is useful for us. I think his kicking game

214
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>is useful for us as well. So as a first receiver,

215
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 2>I think he's great. He can hit the line. He

216
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is a big body, so he can play that middle

217
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>role to effect I suppose, but not. You know, he

218
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be your first choice. But the reason I'm holding

219
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it is because he's going to have to be strong

220
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>defensively for eighty minutes in the middle all and I

221
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>just hope he's up to that. Look I think he's capable.

222
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>He's made huge improvements, I believe this year in defense

223
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that out wide, of course, So how that transfers when

224
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>he's in, you know, in the middle and making more

225
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 2>tackles and tack and tackle after tackle and effort after effort. Well,

226
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll just have to wait and see. That's why I'm

227
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 2>holding it. But I'm starting to be of the opinion,

228
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and I know this is not really a question, but

229
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to be an opinion that he probably is

230
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 2>worth a He probably is worth another year, you know.

231
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Which was my second question. Hold anyway, No, that's fine, Steve.

232
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Even say a run sheet and you're still jumping ahead.

233
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I can look. Look mate, I'm fifty eight,

234
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm tech poor mate. I can only have one thing

235
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>on the screen and I've got the team sheet, so

236
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>there's no way i can go. I can go backwards

237
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>and forwards. So you just do your thing and I'll

238
00:12:58.840 --> 00:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>jump in.

239
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 1>But for me, I have to agree with you fully, Steve.

240
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>My concern is that defense. He's over the years, when defending,

241
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.919
<v Speaker 1>even in the halves, being bumped off in one on

242
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>one tackles quite a number of times, front on tackles,

243
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 1>So not about his reads, not about effort plays. I

244
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>think what has impressed me about Adam Dewey this year

245
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>is his increase in effort around defense. So at times

246
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I thought he's been very lazy or when he's been beaten,

247
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>hasn't chased in the past, I think all those things

248
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>we've seen a vast improvement on this year. We did

249
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>discuss extending him on the pot on Sunday night, and

250
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I gave the opinion I needed to see a little

251
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.519
<v Speaker 1>bit more from him before I'd be offering him a contract.

252
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I need to see a couple of weeks of how

253
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he goes in that thirteen role. Because looking at next year, Steve,

254
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>look at the centers that we potentially have for next season,

255
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 1>do you see a spot for him next year?

256
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>No? Not unless we have we have injuries, because you know,

257
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the Senates are starting this week in Taller and Taylor

258
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>May with what we haven't seen Taylor Maine first grade yet,

259
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.919
<v Speaker 2>but what we have seen of him looks very promising.

260
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 2>So in all likelihood they're going to be our starting centers.

261
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have Macasini knocking down the door for

262
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>a first grade spot too. From if everything we've been

263
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>told about him is true and correct, and so he's there.

264
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden, a guy like Adam Doing falls

265
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.080
<v Speaker 2>down the list a little bit. But what I like

266
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>about him, and I don't know whether he's going to

267
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>like this. This is the problem because he has been

268
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>very open and up front insaaning that he sees himself

269
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>as a certain type of player and that's how he

270
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>wants to play. But all of a sudden, I'm starting

271
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>to see a guy who actually gives us quite a

272
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of versatility in positions. Yeah, in around our Yeah

273
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 2>that's sort of versatility. Sort of means that, mate, But yeah,

274
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:09.960
<v Speaker 2>that's fair enough. I could just see that he adds

275
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot because he can play a lot of positions.

276
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>So if he's if he's willing to accept that that's

277
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the role he's going to play, I think he's worth

278
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>hanging on to. But I don't know whether he's going

279
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>to think that like he's His press conference didn't really

280
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>indicate a lot of enthusiasm around that.

281
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd say, yeah, it's interesting that press conference. I guess

282
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>at the end of it. I thought the start of

283
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 1>it he spoke really well, But as soon as they

284
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>started talking about contracts and next season he did bristle

285
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. But I think that could probably

286
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>come down two ways that he's not looking to stay

287
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 1>or the club hasn't shown any interest towards.

288
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Him yet, yeah, or the other is he's just a

289
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 2>good talking about it and doesn't really like the media anyway.

290
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 2>And I think he's a pretty I think he's a

291
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.720
<v Speaker 2>fellow that gets agitated pretty quickly, so I don't think

292
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>it takes much to send him off. So yeah, he

293
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>just mightn't have. He might have just felt uncomfortable with

294
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the line of questioning really, so we might be reading

295
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>too more into that than what there is. The bottom

296
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>line for me is, you know, I want to see

297
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.159
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more, but I think I think he's

298
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 2>worth I think he's a first grade player that could

299
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>be useful for us.

300
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, next question, The Jerome Law experiment at seven is over?

301
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is yea Drome Law is definitely will definitely

302
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 2>stay at six, like Latu Feinu is our halfback. The

303
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>only time that might change is if Ladu Fan gets injured.

304
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.639
<v Speaker 2>But even then, if you bought if we had do

305
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>he bought Doey, I'd played Dowey at seven. Yeah, I

306
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 2>think we have to go a step further and we

307
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 2>have to say that the desire to be Batman experiment

308
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>might be over, like I think Jerome lew. Yeah, it

309
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 2>is a big call. It is, and it's not as

310
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.319
<v Speaker 2>negative as it sounds, right, It's not I it sounds.

311
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>What I mean by it is Jerome Leui has brought

312
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>so much to this club. There is absolutely no denying

313
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 2>that he's worth every cent that he's getting at our club.

314
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.559
<v Speaker 2>With his leadership, the standards.

315
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Is just going to butt in there. Yeah, there is

316
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 1>a fair better talk around the fan base starting to

317
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 1>build that they're looking at that one point three million

318
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 1>dollar contract. I'm thinking it's a little bit too much.

319
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You still think that's okay.

320
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 2>I think to have a state of origin player in

321
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the position that he plays in the spine, that's the

322
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.200
<v Speaker 2>sort of money we're going to we're going to have

323
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 2>to pay. It's probably the top of the scale of

324
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the money we have to pay, But I think it

325
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 2>is the money we have to pay. And he is

326
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>a million dollar plus player in my opinion for premission,

327
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 2>but yet four premierships, that's right. But the way he's playing,

328
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 2>and again I'll just add to it before I say

329
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that his defense, his defense this year, like you can

330
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>miss a tackle, right, but he's a smaller body, right,

331
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.880
<v Speaker 2>of course you've got to miss tackles from time to time,

332
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>so he can miss a tackle. But that's you know,

333
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 2>if you look at the tackle sheet and you see

334
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.799
<v Speaker 2>three miss tackles from him or you're seeing fall off

335
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.480
<v Speaker 2>a tackle, that's not the value that he brings in defense.

336
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 2>He's he's clean up rating defense is fantastic. Making the

337
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 2>right tackle at the right time is spot on. He

338
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>puts on a hit when it's needed to lift the team.

339
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Like defensively, he's really important to us. But his role

340
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:03.079
<v Speaker 2>in attack is just not working. It isn't And to

341
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 2>say that he's going to be the leader of a

342
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>game plan or the attacking structure, it's just not working

343
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>out with that's his inability or whether it's poor coaching

344
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Jerome Loui this year is that in attack it just

345
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 2>hasn't worked. Like I saw, I assume he was playing

346
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>for Penrith, the way he would skip across field and

347
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 2>then straighten up, straighten up and then throw a pass

348
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 2>to a fast running back rower or center or having

349
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.279
<v Speaker 2>the fullback come around and chime in and give giving

350
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 2>space to the fullback, and he did it beautifully. What

351
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.079
<v Speaker 2>he's been doing with us hasn't been working. He needs

352
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.079
<v Speaker 2>he needs to accept the fact that he's not the

353
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>guy to run the team around the park, but he

354
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>needs to play a running game. But he also needs

355
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to have a bit of so that he can link

356
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>with his back rowers and his centers and his full

357
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.359
<v Speaker 2>back the way of course, Yeah, this stuff where he

358
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>runs around, he does left, darts right and goes around

359
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the circle trying to find something there. It's just not working.

360
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely working, and he needs to modify. And you know,

361
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if that's entirely his fault or the

362
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.440
<v Speaker 2>way that the team's been coached or the combination with

363
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.799
<v Speaker 2>other players. I'm not sure, but that's what they need

364
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to work on. And he needs to find where he's

365
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>most comfortable, which is running and setting up outside men,

366
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and focus on that and then I think you'll see

367
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 2>us get the best out of him. But the thing

368
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 2>with Benji that he has over Jerome Loi is Benji

369
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 2>had much ability to beat a man in a variety

370
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.799
<v Speaker 2>of ways like Jerome Lay doesn't have that he doesn't.

371
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have the step that is ridiculous like Benji had.

372
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have that that turn of express pace that

373
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Benji had where he could skip out to the outside

374
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and he and he doesn't have the flamboyance in his

375
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.680
<v Speaker 2>passing game that Benji had. So he's not going to

376
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>create the opportunities into the crowd as well. And we

377
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>just accepted that that's what came with with Benji. So

378
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>we do need to accept that with Lui playing off

379
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the cuff, there's going to be players that don't work

380
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and there's going to be times he does try to

381
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>find a whole runs more and runs out of space

382
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and doesn't get anywhere. We do need to accept that,

383
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 2>but I think he needs to work on That's why

384
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I said structuredize up footy or as a structured He

385
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 2>has that ability to throw a beautiful, beautiful ball to

386
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.200
<v Speaker 2>a guy, put and put a man in a gap.

387
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, you say this all the time, Gary,

388
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 2>you say you know that you can tell a good

389
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.400
<v Speaker 2>player well the way they make other players around.

390
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do think that connection with Sam feyn who

391
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 1>was starting to build quite nicely. I thought Sam was

392
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times on the weekend, starting to hit

393
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 1>some space outside LOI and I think that's an area

394
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:06.839
<v Speaker 1>that they can really develop as well.

395
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're going to We're going to miss that this weekend,

396
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure.

397
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, forgotten Sam wasn't playing until just then. That is

398
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a big out for us on the weekend. That's a

399
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 1>week starting second roller partnership.

400
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, honestly, we've got to be We've got to be

401
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 2>bypassing our second rods a little bit, use them in

402
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>tight to hit the ball straight in the harbor. We

403
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>need to be creating space going out the back and

404
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.359
<v Speaker 2>getting our centers good clean fast ball. That's what we

405
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>That's what we know. That's where our attacking weapons are

406
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>going to or attacking prows is going to come from.

407
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Next question, Campflown Stadium should lose all should lose all

408
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 1>games without the funding coming through. There's recently been an

409
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>extension put on for Cameltown to organize that fifty million

410
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars funding for upgrading Campbelltown Stadium. And you're opinion, Steve,

411
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 1>if that funding does not come through by the end

412
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.200
<v Speaker 1>of this month, should Campbelltown Stadium lose all their game?

413
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think I think they should you know, we're

414
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>we're in a time now where we've got to make money.

415
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.559
<v Speaker 2>We've got to look after our members, we've got to

416
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 2>look after our sponsors, we've got to look after our corporates.

417
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And you've got to provide a stadium that's up to

418
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>scratch that will allow us to do that. We've already

419
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 2>said that at like Ard Oval, if there wasn't going

420
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>to be changes there, then we'll walk away from like

421
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Hard Oval. And there are changes coming, We've got options

422
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>with I'm sure Richo has already been looking into it.

423
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I'm sure he's already got money to upground,

424
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 2>upgrade Campbelltown Stadium. It's not fit for purpose, it really isn't.

425
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'll save you a little bit because we have

426
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit of heat from Magpie's fans over

427
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the last week, Steve, so I'll save you a little bit.

428
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.480
<v Speaker 1>What is your preference? Your preference is that they get

429
00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that funding.

430
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Yet, my preference is that they get that funding. For sure.

431
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm one hundred percent of the belief that Campbelltown is

432
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:11.599
<v Speaker 2>an area that the West Tigers need to invest in

433
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and be in. But there's got to be a ground

434
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 2>fit for purpose. And Gary. Quite honestly, I couldn't give

435
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a rats. They don't like it tough.

436
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we haven't seen any of the comments anyway.

437
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 2>No, that's right, they're all hidden behind behind their little

438
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 2>private chat.

439
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Next question, West Tigers are a stronger club than we

440
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.640
<v Speaker 1>were twelve months ago?

441
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we are. We are a stronger club and we

442
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 2>West we're a better football team. And I know at

443
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the moment what the same number of wins as where

444
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.160
<v Speaker 2>we finished last week y, So we're eagle with that.

445
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>So it hasn't been as positive as we'd hoped it

446
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>would be, and I thought would be better placed on

447
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 2>a ladder than what we are. But there's a fight

448
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.839
<v Speaker 2>in this team out there that hasn't been there for

449
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.000
<v Speaker 2>a a long long time, and we are in most

450
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 2>games for most of the game. We still haven't put

451
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>an eighty minute performance together. We're still incredibly frustrating to watch.

452
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 2>We're still got a long way to go before we

453
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>are a really good football side, but we're getting there.

454
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>We are a better team than we were, and we

455
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 2>are Roster management, even though it's slow, even though it's difficult,

456
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 2>that have been dealt with, I believe as best they

457
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>could have been. Still not there, but it's better. I've

458
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of functions I've been through with West

459
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Tigers have been absolutely outstanding. I couldn't have said that

460
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>in the past. It wasn't the case. So every aspect

461
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>of our club we had to go through. Yeah, I

462
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 2>had to go through a horrible situation, but there is

463
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 2>stability there at the moment, so you know, it's not

464
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>where we wanted to been. As frustrating, I get as

465
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 2>frustrated as anyone, but we're definitely better place than what

466
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 2>we were twelve months ago.

467
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Daram Buller is our most important player.

468
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Okay, I didn't read that one dream Bola is

469
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.480
<v Speaker 2>our most important player.

470
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 1>No.

471
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Lookok I'm going to sell that, but I'm going to

472
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 2>say that's because I don't I don't believe in this

473
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 2>black and white stuff where we just say he's a

474
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 2>very important part of our future.

475
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>So you're avoiding answering the question no I mentioned.

476
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It's higher order thinking, Gary, are you going to struggle

477
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.440
<v Speaker 2>to keep up? Just do your best mate right. It's

478
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 2>important that we keep him, but it's just as important

479
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that we sign Appy right, and which hasn't been formalized yet.

480
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. You know, it's just as important that

481
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 2>we lock down these these young guys come coming through

482
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and make sure we keep them happy. They're like it's

483
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Macasini for example, large failure. You keep them, keep them

484
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:56.519
<v Speaker 2>in the clubs. It's just as important that we look

485
00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 2>for a strong front rower who has impact. That's really important.

486
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.480
<v Speaker 2>So there are lots of players, and there are lots

487
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of situations at the moment around recruitment and retention that

488
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 2>are as important as each other. He's one of them.

489
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.599
<v Speaker 1>The big thing for me, the reason I actually put

490
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 1>this question in that is you have all the games

491
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>he's missed this year, and the clunkiness of our take's

492
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 1>been clunky all season, but I think it's been worse

493
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 1>than the games he hasn't played.

494
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I agree, one hundred percent. That's that's a

495
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>good point. He as he has, he gives us a

496
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 2>little bit of shape. You know, we tend to lack.

497
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 2>We don't look like we've got much shape at all

498
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>when he's not there. So yeah, he's very, very important

499
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.319
<v Speaker 2>in that regard. But you know, you take happy out

500
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:50.200
<v Speaker 2>from around the rock, can we sort of you know,

501
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>don't look too flash around the middle either.

502
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And credit where credit's due. I think Taruva has been

503
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 1>very good in that backup role as well.

504
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well yeah, it's it's not his preferred position, right,

505
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I think he's doing a pretty good job all things considered. Yeah,

506
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And can I sorry, mate, Can I add with Truva

507
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 2>going to fullback and Charlie Stains? And I think I

508
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 2>mentioned this before, I was very critical of Charlie Stains. Jeez,

509
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 2>he's played well since he's come back into first grade.

510
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 2>He's really like being dynamic and he's only he hasn't

511
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>been pushed back. He's you know, he's earned his keep.

512
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel so a question without notice. This one's not

513
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.039
<v Speaker 1>on the list, so you haven't read this one, Steve.

514
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 1>When Buller comes back, who do you keep Skelton or

515
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 1>stains Skelton?

516
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in saying that, I still think Skeleton offers more defense,

517
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, defensively his edge because I say his edge

518
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.920
<v Speaker 2>because it's not just his fault, but his edge has

519
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:57.400
<v Speaker 2>been been weak. But I think that's a system thing,

520
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.240
<v Speaker 2>not just him. He does he does run in in

521
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>when he shouldn't.

522
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>He's made a few poor decisions.

523
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.160
<v Speaker 2>We need him, Yeah, we struggle, We struggle to make

524
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.319
<v Speaker 2>to make good yardage in at Taxa, we need him

525
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 2>at the back start in our sets.

526
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I said on the on the Pot on

527
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night, I think Charlie stains improved yardage coming out

528
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 1>of our own n is because we've got guys like

529
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Skelton and Taruva who were giving him a bit of

530
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a platform to use his speed on the second and

531
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>third tackle of a set, and he's able to get

532
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 1>up the field quicker.

533
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a very good point, ye.

534
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Last question, Benji Marshall will be coaching in twenty twenty six.

535
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Next question, I thought that would be the answer that

536
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I would get from you. We've got a number of

537
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.279
<v Speaker 1>players other than Adam Deor, who we've already spoken about

538
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 1>off player off contract at the end of this year,

539
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a number of younger players. I just want a quick

540
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>answer on these one Steve on whether you would resign

541
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 1>any of those we've got. For Tarpe, who is already

542
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.599
<v Speaker 1>in negotiations overseas, I don't think he's signed anywhere.

543
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, well, if he's in negotiation ever seas, that

544
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:08.599
<v Speaker 2>would that.

545
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Pretty deep in the centers now though. Yeah. Yeah, that's

546
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 1>a true strange one.

547
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that is true. Yeah, No, you're right. You're right,

548
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 2>there's probably no no room for him.

549
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>And I guess that's the same for Filidi as well.

550
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I don't. I've never seen him show. I've

551
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>never seen Filordi show or anything. Yeah, I'm not saying

552
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 2>he's not a good football, but I haven't seen it,

553
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>madam or No. Yeah, that's interesting because I was just

554
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.440
<v Speaker 2>looking at that when you mentioned for Tarpa and getting

555
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 2>deep in the center of for Tarpe or Nayden. I'd

556
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:46.279
<v Speaker 2>probably go for Tarpe, I'd probably Yeah, I think that

557
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>that there's something I don't know. I've just watched him.

558
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Probably he's not winding down yet, but he's heading towards that.

559
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I think there's more upside long term with for Tape.

560
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 2>So I've had to keep one of them. I begin

561
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.559
<v Speaker 2>for Tape. So that says that Brent Naden's.

562
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 1>So my opinion is that either of these guys, if

563
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you resign them, they're going to really spending most of

564
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>their season in New sou File's Cup. And I think

565
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.079
<v Speaker 1>the experience that Nayden has at that level and his

566
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>ability to play multiple positions at that level, I think

567
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 1>he's a better fit for playing at the new South

568
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Files Cup level than for.

569
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, i'd agree with that. I suppose it's it's what

570
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.920
<v Speaker 2>what are you looking for? Are you looking for an

571
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>experienced campaigner to sit to sit back there in reserve

572
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.720
<v Speaker 2>grade and help the young guys come through and and

573
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Brent Naden ticksbox is there? Or are you looking to

574
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:47.680
<v Speaker 2>bolster your future and in the hope of bringing on

575
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 2>future first graders And then then for me it would

576
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:52.119
<v Speaker 2>be for Tarpe. But I take your point.

577
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Stain Steve.

578
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Who we got in the wing. I think he's I

579
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 2>think he's enough. I think Charlie stays, Saint stays as

580
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:06.480
<v Speaker 2>long as he knows willing to accept that and fight

581
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and try to know that he's going to have to

582
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 2>really fight hard for.

583
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>His Yeah, an excellent guy to have. I think he's

584
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 1>shown the last last couple of weeks, well last couple

585
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 1>of months with Skeleton being out for a while as

586
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:20.799
<v Speaker 1>well what he can add to the team when he

587
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 1>does get called upon. So yeah, I'd be looking to

588
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 1>keep him as well.

589
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 2>So as you can ask you, Gary, just just just

590
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a curve on the host. Yeah, let's say let's say, Macsini,

591
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.559
<v Speaker 2>you have a conversation with ma Cassini and say, you know,

592
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>we might put you on the wing. See how you

593
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.319
<v Speaker 2>go on the wing. If that was the case and

594
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 2>you could, you could do that, and that means you

595
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 2>had to get rid of Charlie Stains. Would you do that? Yeah?

596
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.359
<v Speaker 1>But I actually think Macasine is an ad and out

597
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>center his ability to beat a man and set up

598
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>his winger on the outside. I think it's too valuable

599
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 1>to play him on the wing. I haven't seen him

600
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>play on the wing, and maybe he can go make

601
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 1>a fist of it, but I think his attributes are

602
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>much better suited to playing in the centers. It actually

603
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>brings us like he was a by cell hold that

604
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I actually threw out, so I might as well chuck

605
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>it at you. Now that you've mentioned Makassini, would you

606
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>play him this year, Steve.

607
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 2>No, I wouldn't, absolutely not. I think we're seeing and

608
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 2>when we give them too much ego. I think we

609
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 2>have to be strong with these guys. I think we

610
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>have to say, by your time a little bit, learn

611
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.359
<v Speaker 2>your trade, prove yourself, and then bring them through. Now

612
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I know there's going to be enough sort of thinking.

613
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But I believe that we're doing these guys a disservice

614
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 2>when we bring him through the minute they turn eight

615
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a well, look at look at what's happening. It's not

616
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:01.400
<v Speaker 2>working for us. So no, not not this year. We're

617
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.039
<v Speaker 2>not We're not going to be making the eight this year.

618
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no reason to bring him through. Let him develop,

619
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.039
<v Speaker 2>let him get a taste of what it's like playing

620
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.559
<v Speaker 2>all aged footy in cup, and then see where he's

621
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning in the off season and preseason.

622
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 1>He's played one and a half games against men at

623
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>this point of his career. Stude.

624
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right.

625
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:27.639
<v Speaker 1>So with that mindset, but you have Trician Hope who's

626
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>playing hooker at the moment, we have Hayward coming through,

627
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 1>who is tauted as the guy who's eventually now going

628
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:41.559
<v Speaker 1>to replace Happy. Are you looking at bringing someone in

629
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:45.519
<v Speaker 1>over him or keeping Tristian Hope for next season to

630
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>give Hayward more time as well?

631
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, it all depends how they want to use appy,

632
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I suppose, and Benji has shown that he's not adverse

633
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to play an appy eighty minutes when he needs.

634
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>To play eighty minutes every week.

635
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Mate, No, he can't, I agree, but when he needs to,

636
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 2>he does.

637
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Right.

638
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 2>That's what what's happened over the last couple of years.

639
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Just in Hope. He's holding his own probably in the

640
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:12.599
<v Speaker 2>last couple probably a little better than I thought he would.

641
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.599
<v Speaker 2>So I think he can do a job. No, I don't.

642
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.519
<v Speaker 2>When you look at our priorities, I don't think that's

643
00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:21.559
<v Speaker 2>a priority. I think you know, we've got Happy, We've

644
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 2>got him for the young fella coming through. I think

645
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>we stick to that plan and we look at recruitment,

646
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 2>recruiting in other areas that are more more vital for us,

647
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 2>in most particular front row forward.

648
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 1>So you see Hope playing a bigger role.

649
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Next year, I think I think he can. He's not

650
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the best option we put our utility in at fourteen,

651
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:48.039
<v Speaker 2>then I'm not not adverse to that as well, and

652
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that that might be. That might be where you know

653
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.800
<v Speaker 2>we're looking at Adam doing depending on what happens.

654
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Trician Hope. I see him as a guy that you're

655
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.920
<v Speaker 1>bringing him on. You're notring him on because he's going

656
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 1>to break a game open. You're not bringing him on

657
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's really strong in defense. He has decent service

658
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>so you're bringing him on to do exactly what you

659
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.519
<v Speaker 1>said he's doing at the moment, is he'll do a job.

660
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.719
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be a key contributor to you

661
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.199
<v Speaker 1>winning many games. He's not going to be a guy

662
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 1>who goes out there and goes against tiring forwards and

663
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>makes two or three breaks and brings you back into

664
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.119
<v Speaker 1>a game or lads you pull away from the opposition.

665
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:33.519
<v Speaker 1>His role on the team is the Giveappy a break,

666
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's that. I would like a little bit more

667
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of someone who's a bit more dynamic in that fourteen role.

668
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 1>If we're looking at having someone play that role, and

669
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there should be someone there most weeks.

670
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>So is he contracted for next year?

671
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I'd have to Actually, did you

672
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:54.519
<v Speaker 1>get an extension recently?

673
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, because that that could change that work

674
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:02.400
<v Speaker 2>does change my thought sign But because what I just

675
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:05.239
<v Speaker 2>said then was if that's who we've already we've already

676
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 2>got Happy, we've already got him, we've already got young fella,

677
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>then that's that's what I wouldn't be adding to that.

678
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:13.199
<v Speaker 2>But if we're going to if Tristan Hope doesn't have

679
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.719
<v Speaker 2>a contract, I wouldn't be adverse to going out to

680
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.039
<v Speaker 2>market to see what's add more to the hooking role

681
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.360
<v Speaker 2>than I'm all for that, But I'm saying to me,

682
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 2>is enough. We don't want to be adding to that.

683
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>If that makes sense.

684
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it makes really good sense to me, Steve. He

685
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 1>is actually off contract at the end of this year

686
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.119
<v Speaker 1>according to Zero Tackle. Right, looked it up while you

687
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 1>just spoke. So yeah, it's probably a position we could

688
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>look at film. Is that backup?

689
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we could that, we could look, but you got

690
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to you know, you've got to find the right guy.

691
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's move on to the game on Sunday. Exciting day.

692
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Get to go back out to Lighthart. There's actually more

693
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>than one game of football line because the NRLW is

694
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:01.559
<v Speaker 1>on beforehand, so at least after noon of football or

695
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.280
<v Speaker 1>starting at midday anyway, out like I'd over looking forward

696
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to getting out there too.

697
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. I can't wait, can't wait to get

698
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 2>out there and we out there to watch the NRLW,

699
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.239
<v Speaker 2>then watch the first grade. I'm really confident we can

700
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.559
<v Speaker 2>get a win with the men anyway. Who are the

701
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 2>girls playing, mate? You know who they play?

702
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I haven't had a walk, So I don't know.

703
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.519
<v Speaker 2>I know they're Yeah, they're trying hard, the girls, but

704
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:33.199
<v Speaker 2>they're struggling a little bit. But I definitely think we've

705
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 2>got a good chance with the men are getting a win,

706
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:37.679
<v Speaker 2>so it could be a good afternoon out there.

707
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 1>So come up against the Gold Coast Titans. Are your

708
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:46.079
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on their style of play and the danger players?

709
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Look, well, they're come and last for a reason, right,

710
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:54.679
<v Speaker 2>They're very inconsistent. So the first thing I'd be saying

711
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to have seen this week is improve your discipline, cut

712
00:38:59.400 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 2>your error.

713
00:38:59.840 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Right.

714
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.239
<v Speaker 2>We've got Ashley Klein in the bunker again, right eighty

715
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:08.639
<v Speaker 2>minutes now, If you do that, they have shown all

716
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.039
<v Speaker 2>season now in saying that every team in this competition

717
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 2>can win on their day, and they have the capability

718
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 2>of beating this, that's for sure. I think we've got

719
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:23.079
<v Speaker 2>to We talked about this earlier as far in reference

720
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:27.920
<v Speaker 2>to the Warriors, I think we've got to really go

721
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 2>out there with an intent to have quick line speed

722
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.280
<v Speaker 2>in defense. We've got to get up on the They're

723
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 2>five eight and a half back in four and Jaden Campbell,

724
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Jaden Campbell will rip us to shreds if we give

725
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:43.000
<v Speaker 2>him time and space.

726
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Right.

727
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 2>If we turn him back inside right, we'll cut down

728
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the effect that he could have on a game. But

729
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:53.639
<v Speaker 2>the other thing, the other reason we've got to have

730
00:39:53.719 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Speaker 2>amazing line speed is we've got to stop Tino playing

731
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.199
<v Speaker 2>lock and we've got to stop David for Feeder when

732
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 2>he comes on off the bench, because we've shown, like

733
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I go back to that South's game. I can't remember

734
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.800
<v Speaker 2>who it was, they just had one player, one one

735
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:13.000
<v Speaker 2>with the front rower.

736
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Who just prop forward. Yeah, the rest of.

737
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:20.639
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the pack we handled really well, but

738
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.039
<v Speaker 2>this one he just tore us to shreds. And the said, now,

739
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 2>if we let Tino and if we let Dave for

740
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Feeder get momentum and beat us at the defensive line

741
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and get post contacts and get the ball away, we'll

742
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.239
<v Speaker 2>struggle because we don't need the whole pack to do it.

743
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I think we match up pretty well across the park,

744
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:51.199
<v Speaker 2>but those two guys, if they're given room, we'll see something.

745
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I say it coming down to two things for the

746
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Gold Coast against Us is they have two components that

747
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:04.119
<v Speaker 1>we never match up well. They have big forwards with

748
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:06.039
<v Speaker 1>a bit of mobility, a bit of speed who run

749
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.199
<v Speaker 1>the ball hard. We never handle that well. And they

750
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:13.639
<v Speaker 1>have some classy, speedy outside backs and in the halves

751
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:17.119
<v Speaker 1>with Campbell playing in the halves. So they are two

752
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:19.400
<v Speaker 1>key points that I think we need to be really

753
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.320
<v Speaker 1>aware of on the weekend. They We need to game

754
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:26.440
<v Speaker 1>plan for that because their two attributes to teams that

755
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:27.679
<v Speaker 1>we never do well against.

756
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 2>No, we don't know, especially the big, big forward pack.

757
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.800
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing I mentioned that we turn to

758
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.199
<v Speaker 2>struggle against the Titans, and that's Kieran four in his

759
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 2>kicking game here and four and usually kicks us off

760
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the park, and from memory, I'm thinking it's more his

761
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:49.440
<v Speaker 2>short kicking game in the goal line. You know, we've

762
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.840
<v Speaker 2>got to be aware of that. You know, we must

763
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.760
<v Speaker 2>be aware of his prowess with his short kicking game

764
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:00.519
<v Speaker 2>and get up on him fast, give him time to

765
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:03.440
<v Speaker 2>think and get his kick in. And that goes to

766
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that saying for long and short, but particularly a short

767
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.800
<v Speaker 2>kening game because he usually has a game out of

768
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the box in that regard.

769
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:16.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think Luai shortking game's being pretty good this season,

770
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:18.599
<v Speaker 1>and it was pretty good in the State of Origin

771
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. But I think we are being let down

772
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit by a long kicking game. I thought

773
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>though Adam Dewey playing in the halves last week added

774
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to that. It's an extra responsibility for the thirteen role,

775
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but there's an opportunity there for him to do a

776
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:34.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit of long kicking as well.

777
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we're out of that seventeen. He's the

778
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:43.480
<v Speaker 2>best downfield kicker we've got on the field, so we've

779
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.239
<v Speaker 2>got to use that. I think. Yeah, Look, as far

780
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.360
<v Speaker 2>as how do we attack the times, I haven't lost

781
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.119
<v Speaker 2>some enough to sort of pinpoint areas of weakness in

782
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.360
<v Speaker 2>their defensive line really, but I think we just need

783
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.119
<v Speaker 2>to focus on ourselves. We've got to we've just got

784
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.079
<v Speaker 2>to play with one. We've got to win the ruck.

785
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:03.519
<v Speaker 2>We've got to try to get fast play the ball.

786
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.519
<v Speaker 2>We're going to try to land on our stomach so

787
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:09.320
<v Speaker 2>we can get up dynamic centers out in one hour

788
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.039
<v Speaker 2>on each edge. We've got to get good ball to them,

789
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:15.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, And so that means our halves need to

790
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:17.920
<v Speaker 2>get fastball. But if they're going to run them into

791
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.360
<v Speaker 2>straighten and then pass out so that we don't run

792
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.360
<v Speaker 2>those centers out of space. Because we've seen what Stafford

793
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Tower can do when he gets an inch of room,

794
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:32.880
<v Speaker 2>he's really dangerous. And that's what I saw. I didn't

795
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.400
<v Speaker 2>see a lot, but just from the highlights, he ran

796
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:40.119
<v Speaker 2>a couple of beautiful outside in lines right, So I imagine

797
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.679
<v Speaker 2>they've been practicing them and we've got the ability to

798
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:44.800
<v Speaker 2>score points out there.

799
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.639
<v Speaker 1>And interesting, speaking about both our centers, I think that

800
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:54.320
<v Speaker 1>guys who who play well with early ball. Stafford Tower

801
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 1>plays his best football when you're getting the ball early

802
00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's able to use that left hand fan and

803
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:01.639
<v Speaker 1>then draw the wing are in to set up a

804
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Taruver on the outside will be stains this week, but

805
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it has been Taruva on the outside. Taylor Mazer guy,

806
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I think will benefit from early ball as well because

807
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he's got that nice footwork. You can't need a hole,

808
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.639
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's got some really good footwork. We

809
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:18.719
<v Speaker 1>should be able to take advantage off as well.

810
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.599
<v Speaker 2>And like this is Taruver's third week back and sort

811
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.639
<v Speaker 2>of be there scooting through the middle. But I'd like

812
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to see him, you know, playing, you know, like during

813
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Buller plays a little bit and trying to get some

814
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>shape out back row is going through as decoys and

815
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:38.000
<v Speaker 2>getting our halves linking with Taruver Caroaren who can then

816
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.880
<v Speaker 2>link to one of the centers. You know that there's possibility,

817
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:45.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, of good yardage out there.

818
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.519
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, I don't know if he's got that

819
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:51.360
<v Speaker 1>in his game yet. It'll be interesting to see if

820
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.599
<v Speaker 1>he can add it. I think that's why he he

821
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:57.280
<v Speaker 1>is a very different style fallback to what dream Buller is.

822
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Dream Buller's almost plays as as an extra ballplayer, whereas

823
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Taruva I don't think he has those ball skills, so

824
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he's playing a lot more through the middle.

825
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:09.800
<v Speaker 2>The thing that worries me is the bench, Like like

826
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>we know and again to do great things when they

827
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.159
<v Speaker 2>come on, but I really wish one of them, probably

828
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Feinhu was starting rather than been on the bench. And

829
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm concerned about Jack Bert. Jack Bird has not been

830
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:28.639
<v Speaker 2>playing good football. I really liked what Jack Burb was

831
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 2>doing early in the season. Last week it was terrible.

832
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Everyone can have a bad game, that's that's forgivable, but

833
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.760
<v Speaker 2>he seems to have lost lost his form as the

834
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 2>year has gone on.

835
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>He'spent a third bit of time last weekend in the

836
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 1>center Steve, and I think his time as the center's over.

837
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Probably probably I imagine unless he has to play play

838
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:53.440
<v Speaker 2>in the middle. I'm not sure that's I'm not sure

839
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:54.760
<v Speaker 2>that's his spot either.

840
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:58.400
<v Speaker 1>You spoke earlier about a's needing the straight in the attack,

841
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:02.159
<v Speaker 1>especially our has. What do you think Adam Dow he

842
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:04.079
<v Speaker 1>brings to our side in that regard.

843
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I think to two things he's going to give. He's

844
00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:12.599
<v Speaker 2>going to push Jerome, Lawyer Jerome and La too wider.

845
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.599
<v Speaker 2>That that's the most obvious one. So having pushes out

846
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:18.199
<v Speaker 2>those guys a little bit wider, a little bit deeper,

847
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:21.199
<v Speaker 2>and it gives them room and allows us the ball

848
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:23.599
<v Speaker 2>play too wide of the rock, right, so off off

849
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:27.079
<v Speaker 2>to their third you know, their third defender attacking their

850
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:31.599
<v Speaker 2>third defender. So there's that. But also he's got he's

851
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:37.519
<v Speaker 2>got an innate ability now seemingly to know to know

852
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:41.360
<v Speaker 2>when to run across field, like I don't know what

853
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:43.559
<v Speaker 2>it is. When he's out in the centers, he doesn't

854
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:45.039
<v Speaker 2>seem to be able to pass the ball at all

855
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:48.440
<v Speaker 2>all the way. So I think when he does that,

856
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.559
<v Speaker 2>what it does I mentioned this before, and straighten up

857
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:55.320
<v Speaker 2>as well, So in effect it straightens the whole straightens

858
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.239
<v Speaker 2>the whole attacking movement. So that's that's definitely what it brings.

859
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:01.639
<v Speaker 2>But it brings an had to take him and if

860
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:03.320
<v Speaker 2>he passes, we's got to make sure he hasn't come

861
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:05.159
<v Speaker 2>into early, which would create a gap.

862
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:12.000
<v Speaker 1>So having a look Sunday afternoon, game's over, what do

863
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you think what's the result going to be, Steve, We're

864
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:14.280
<v Speaker 1>going to get up.

865
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we are with this one, and I

866
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.280
<v Speaker 2>think we're going to win it pretty comfortably and.

867
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Get sacked next week.

868
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:24.760
<v Speaker 2>He does.

869
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Sack straight away. Apologies to YACHTI. We've run out of time.

870
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I've got foot you tonight. We've run out of time

871
00:47:33.159 --> 00:47:35.559
<v Speaker 1>for Yochty Squeeze this week, so we'll get that back

872
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:40.519
<v Speaker 1>in next week. I'd also like to apologize that Eddie.

873
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:42.239
<v Speaker 1>We've had him in the green room wade him to

874
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 1>come on or show, and we've run out of time

875
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.159
<v Speaker 1>to get Eddie on the deck.

876
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:48.760
<v Speaker 2>And Joel and Nick are sitting there as well.

877
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, I just kicked them out of the

878
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.360
<v Speaker 1>green room as well, so they had no chance of

879
00:47:55.400 --> 00:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>coming on. Thanks for joining me tonight, Steve, Thank you,

880
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.599
<v Speaker 1>and thank you everyone for listening Sunday night. We'll have

881
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.280
<v Speaker 1>another pot of Game Day pod coming out after the game,

882
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:10.880
<v Speaker 1>so make sure you look out for that. That should

883
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 1>drop sometime on Monday morning, so speak to you all

884
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. Have a good weekend.

885
00:48:19.360 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Jees eye Dad
