  Speaker 2: Welcome back to this special bonus episode of The Shed.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: In today's episode, we talked to Queensland origin selector and
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Cory's father of Lord Jeene Miles.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Do you know is there somewhere is there someone in
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: this squad for Game one that you you pushed hard for?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I had to had to put up a bit of
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: a fight full. Is anyone in there that you find
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: were a huge advocate for?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I was a huge supporter of Plathy, but that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was just anonymous. You know, the way he played on
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Friday night prior to the selection meeting with.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Two men in the matches in the row the most
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: consistent in the game or plays in the game when
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: he's when he's in the team. Yeah, the lendar you had,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: but an easy, easier one.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: I wuld have thought.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Picking well, it wasn't hard. But he isn't the starting team,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: which you know, I thought really might start him on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the bench. But he's number thirteen and I thoroughly deserves it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You know, he'll play eighty minutes for us, it's no doubt, you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Know, and make eighty tackles.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and you know if we have an injury, he's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: got so much, you know, so much utility base too.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: He can play anywhere, so him and Cape will probably
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: play eighty minutes.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how much.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: How my discussion goes into now the six man bench
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: because I've always thought that that's the most they're the
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: most important players to pick is those guys that come
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: off the interchangement.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: On and that's if you have a look at our bench,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: those guys will cover basically every position except bullback because
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we've got we've got the hammer and we've got Kalin
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and you know that's that'll cover the outside backs. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Jojo Jojo Braafita was a selection that I was really
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: wrapped into. Yeah, robust winger, brings it back nice and tough.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: He started that reckon back into last year. I reckon
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: like that form started coming in and then he started
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: the year really well.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He's a center, He's a he's a come through the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: grades and the rugby as a center. So you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: playing on the wing if we you know, as we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have an injury on the outside back or you can
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you can slide into there as well. So yeah, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it is very important a six man bench. Now, like
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that's twenty players. You've got to pick
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: every every every time, and you know.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's extra two, isn't it?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: So your fours? Similarly, your four is important, but next
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: two is.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: You can dive.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You can dive into the five and six if you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if you want to change up the four
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so you don't have injury, yes, four.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: An injury is a big change. So you injured what
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: your main three, your three spines or like you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: your wings or your centers. That's what I feel like
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: those extra two need to cover at least and then
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the back.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Round and all that sort of stuff.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But the other controversial I think pick was with Sam
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Walker and so was there was there much to and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: fro about that, Like he's obviously having a great season
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: for the Roosters, but he's little, yeah, and that gets
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: found out in origin and his defense.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You know, Billy's asked him to pick his defense up too, obviously,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and because you know on that that field during the night,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know you've got yourself and a guy either side
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of here, and you know you've got to you've got
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to play your role, and as slight as he is,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you know you've got to put your head where you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes where you don't want to, but you know, like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think attack wise, he brings a brings a lot
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to the to the joint. You know, so him and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Monster will be on one side, and obviously Sammy will
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be on the other side. But you know it's a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: big deal. Like he's twenty three years old making his debut.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: This could not define him. But you know, we could
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: get a fair idea whether he's going to play for
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ten years for Queensland or you know, it might have.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the way the game is, it's the best time
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think for I think we said, you know last
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: week about I feel like the smaller halves when they
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: find a way to actually you know, get their defense right,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: you know that, then their career then just keeps flying
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: from that. And I think the game the way it
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: is now, Sammy Walker, he can find a way to
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Nali's defense, so he's not found out a lot. You know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: there's tough, pretty tackles you need to make a lot.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I felt that less and less now for a smaller
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: half because of the way the game is played. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: feel like, you know, you're not getting you can't be
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: spotted as much, but you've still got to be smart.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Some of our greatest halfbacks for Queensland have all been
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: small guys, al half they worked out the way to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: do it. How many times did j T get told
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: he was too small and should need to be playing
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the game? You know, it's almost that it's the same.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Story, the six consecutive state of origin small you shouldn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: play exactly.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and that's why I kind of look at
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the team now and go, you know, that's I hope
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: that Sami Walker takes on that same you know a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: few mentality yeah to everyone that said he's too small
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and you can't be there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: And I think.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a very very well balanced team, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's in all that attack team.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I think we're there to play hard and and win
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: the game for our attack.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well you know, you know, Sam, and so would you Cory?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You know the less mistakes should make on a state
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of origin paddict Like last year remember game three?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Game three, Yeah, we make a mistake in the seventieth.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Minute, seventieth minutes. Well yeah it was the first mistake. Ye, unbelievable,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: never heard of, never heard of.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: So do you get if you even even get you know, yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: whatever well half time.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I look at our women's team and that's what killed them. Yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in game one, Game two handed over too much ball game.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: That's a chance.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That's that is just that's so important. You know, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: find yourself doing back to back sets of six and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: stuff that you know at that rate that origins played
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the tempo that that game, you know, you're you're just
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: going to be Yeah, I'm looking for a spell.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Get me off, you know, because you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Just can't do it, you know, on top of the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: six agains and you know if you do get pinched
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for a swinging arm or you know, which just brings
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: me to you know, Victor Radley, like you know, Victor Radley.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's I think it's a great selection.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I want to see him play State of Origin footy too,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but you know it'd be a bit of a nervous
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: He can be a liability and sendoffs.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it knows the passion which I love. But in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the game, now, one little mistake from your height of it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: You know, you can't you can't first contact, which he
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: hits harder than anyone.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: In the game. I believe throws his body there.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: He does and if he just misses that spot, he's
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: gone for ten and that that's that can be the game.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think in origin, but I think.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I think that's what we love playing against Paul Gallon
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and Greg Byrd for so many years because you knew
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you could get a penalty and so hard, it's so
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: hard to gain any type of momentum. So if you
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: can get a get out of trouble like get out
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of jail free car, you kick out and then you're
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you know, you've got your set and you come up
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: with your set place because there's.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Not a lot of opportunities.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So would you literally run it at a play knowing
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that they're a pretty good chance of giving your high tackle.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: High tackle wrestle It was the grapple tackle, and it
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: was the chicken wing, those types of things. They were
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: the drongos that were out there doing those things in
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the game, so you knew if you were at them
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: you could you could probably get a penalty off them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And then you know, once you're under their skin, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: keep on Adam and Adam and Adam and they lose
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: their mind and that's where you gain your opportunity.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Were there any other New South Wales selections? That surprised you,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: other than.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I honestly thought that'd go for Dylan instead of the back. Yeah, like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the DESCO has been planning really well. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: credit to him. He's thirty three years of age and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's got dropped two years ago. He would have been
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: kicking cans for you know, a couple of years. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: but he he's probably warranted his spot. But I just
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: saw the Penrith clicked, you know, diddling at the back
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and and.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: YOI and also obviously yeah yeah, so you know, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: like Sam said earlier, they picked a side to for
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: today's game, you know, and it's very similar.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's what That's what Billy's done too. Plenty of pace
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and big boppers getting up off quickly off the ground,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: getting quick played the balls, getting some momentum.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Offloads at him Blake in the middle of the field. Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I think the way he's interchanged now is the is
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: the team that wins almost It's that's so important now
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: with that six man, but also to speed the game,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: the luck needs to come on his side, like no
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: injuries like no, actually your head knocks, but if both
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: teams aren't any it's the way you're going to use
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: that six man bench like who's coming on first?
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: For who?
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: And because of the speed, I feel like that's that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: one of them that's actually up there with you. The
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: second most important.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Thing, they've got too little mobile and only one big bopper,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: haven't they.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: They've gone for a mobile team again, ones that can
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: play monk, not multiple just fill a.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Couple of positions each and your speed.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: There's not there's not a lot of size. Well there's
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: still size, but not your three big men. And then
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: you're one.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Little dude on the bench. It's well more mobile.
