  Speaker 2: He is up with Jack.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Mate, huge day for you. He'll be out there at

• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I was just so excited, obviously me full of the motion.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: It was a dream come true.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Since you were a young boy, you must have been
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: dreaming or something like this.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I definitely was. I grew up in
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Shah Harbor and then lived out so I was eighteen
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and then moved up to greg Cliffe to play for
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: the Dolphins and been there ever since and enjoying my
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: time with the Dolphins. Obviously they've game my our old
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: debut and they've got me to our arms so far.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It really is like the pinnacle for him, isn't it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They get paid quite good coin just to play a game.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: They get money on the side for State of Origin
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It's like twenty yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it is about
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: twenty or thirty K. But it's the ultimate, right. Like
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you said, he grew up in Shell.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Harbor down there in the Illawarra and now he's playing Origin.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Every NRL player wants to play statable man.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: That's how think it is.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: James Dedesco had some words of encouragement for Jack and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: he also told me what happens when the Blues get
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: together to bond. What do you say to a bloke
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: like Jack who's just you know, he's been launched straight
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: into that he's a number two jumper.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: He came in to Camp Plus in game two, so
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: it was the first time met h Manage. Tadohim is
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: a legend of a fellow. It's been playing some great
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: foota too, coming back from Nacyl. It's not easy and.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The spine is it all been hanging out in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: same room sort of working on tactics. So I read
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that somewhere.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: We all meet Mitch and Nathan room together for the
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: first two camps. We've been pretty close to me and
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Mitch has been messmates since our time with the Tigers,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: so there Nathan've spent a lot of time on off
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: the field with him as well, so it's pretty natural
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: our conversation.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Tell me about the bonding session. Is there a bonding
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: session for the Blues? Is there something fun you guys
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: get to do to get to know each other.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the ones the Monday, we come in today, we
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: I we can we have a few beers here at
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to night and have a dinner and yeah, it just
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: relaxed before we sort of get into the week ahead.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: So that's always how it is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Most camp is that karaoke?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite song?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Karaoke?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I will sit down and have a laugh at the
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: boys I be up there performing that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to tell us what they really
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: get up to.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And when they're bonding together, mate, you know that we've
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: had lots of scantals over the years.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: The next one I spoke to is Nathan Cleary, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: here he debunked a popular theory about what goes on
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: at these bonding seats.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: All right, here we are with Nathan and Cleary.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It's a big ask to go up to Queensland fifty
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: five thousand screaming. Queensland is all yelling and dolling, eight
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: years and all of that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: How do you win next Wednesday? Oh it's a big
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: ask any origin. Really, it doesn't really matter where it
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: is or what game it is. I think it's just
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: getting around each other, channeling that news fast spirit and
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: just going after it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: There used to be a thing where the Blues players
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: would sit around a piano and singing in that carry
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: on does that slap?
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: When did that happen years ago?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I think it was back in the daily era or
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the bonding nights early in cam We're
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: a bit different back then, so it's what they are now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Sitting around a piano.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Now, the theory was they used to hang around and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: have a few beers and someone would get on the
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: piano and they just picked dogs and.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Just see yeah, all right, someone had to know how
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to play the piano, though I'm not sure many footy
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: players were.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Finally, the captain Isaiah Yo told me what went wrong
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in game two and how they're going to win tonight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: All right, here we are with the captain Isaiah Yo.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: How are you mate?
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: Going well? Thank you?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: It seemed like in the first game, I believe you
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: were trailing by quite a bit, you regained got back
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: there the second game.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: What went wrong there? And in the back end?
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we started really well. That was probably the big
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: criticism of the side after game one. Our start was poor.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: I thought we got that right, and you're going in
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: at halftime leading and then yeah, I was really disappointed
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: that sort of first first couple of minutes they made
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: an early line break, but then just sort of how
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: the tries came. So that's disappointing. You can't do that
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: at an ROL level, let alone and stay the Origin level,
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: and we did, so that was the disappointing part. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: that's just some way we've got to be better.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And you've been very supportive of Lori Daily, the coach
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: with his selections. How do you think he's gone this
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: darn round.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: I can't fail him as much as there's been obviously
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: outside noise, and he gives us a wonderful plan prepares
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: us well, and then it's on us to go out
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: in there and do the job. And he stills a
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: lot of belief and a lot of confidence in us,
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: and now it's our job to go out and then
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: perform well for him and each other. So I look
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: forward to doing that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, good luck to the Blues tonight. Look,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are doubtful, but let's hope they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: can do it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Sean, It's gonna be hard, but I hope the Blues
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: win Bow two. All right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: State of Origin Game three going down at sun Cop
