  Speaker 1: Darling and Co. Though, which just across the road from Suncorp.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We can we can see Suncorp very quiet there tonight.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Of course that'll be the place for Game three.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But the decider, Yes, what a place that is for
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a decider.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So ins and outs? You want to talk about some
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of the ins and outs for the game tonight because
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this will this will drop tonight this podcast and then
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we'll have the.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Limiting outs for the team that won.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know, classic New South walesn't it. I think Ethan
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Strange probably the hardest done by. He had such a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: great game for Game one for New South Wales and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was back on the bench.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: The only two that I feel worthy Mitch Moses and Pains.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think the others that don't make sense to me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But why why would what would you change it?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: If you were picking the team? Would you take Ethan
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Strange out? For Mitchell Moses though.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I'd probably have him in the team at somewhere. But yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of Moses. I'd rather Moses not
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in the team as a Queenslander. Yeah, I would have
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: loved to have seen him not in the team, but
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I would have kept Strange somewhere.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I actually laughed about Gallen.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Putting him in the centers and I thought about it
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and I really like it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He was a ball runner, isn't he Like.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's strong and he can and he can
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he can defend well, so.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I think they missed out with that. But he's still
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: on the bench, so he's a chance.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Of coming in begins for Queensland. Reesey Walsh and surprised
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of people given his current form.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Surprise me.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I'm hoping it's it'll, you know, for
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the reason to spark his confidence again. I want to
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: see while she's playing good foota not just for queens
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and you know, and also not just for the Bronx,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: kind of for himself.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I want to see it for him because we all
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: know what he can do.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: He's ad a up and down season, you know, injury
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and the confidence you know, as soon as you play
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: a bad game after a season that he had, you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: get you get scrutinized and straight on the front of
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the bus. But we learn that much money, you can't really,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: you can't keep doing this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So I want to see it for him.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I want to.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I just want to see the confidence back, mainly for him,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: because then if that happens and it's it's it's great
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for all of us. So I don't know where he'll
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: come on. If he does come on, it might be
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: an injury, it might be that's why he's there, or
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: depends on how the game goes, you know, because both
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: players are completely different.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: In the situation in the last game where Ponger obviously
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: center or sent off, would you bring Reese Walsh in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that situation so that he can play and fullback and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: move and take another player off?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You probably? Yeah, you probably do, But I don't know
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: who you take off.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's his capes works so hard.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, now you've got Capble there, Yeah, Capble cable.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: You the funniestory about him. He started on the wing,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I started in the back row, and then we swapped. Yeah, right,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and now he's one of the most reliable players in
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the game. Yeah, he does his job no matter where
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: you put him at prop you know, half back, he
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: could play hook I reckon if if you gave him
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: a goal with it. But yeah, he is mister reliable,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and I think having a player like that, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what happens in the game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: He can feel that spot. So yeah, it's a it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a hard one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know where they're going to put him, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see what happens.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm really excited.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And you know, the amount of Dolphins in the team
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is indicative of fact good there going.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Well, they got six five five five in the team.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's but he's he's going great for the Dolphins.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So he'll come on what he reckons twenty minutes in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: something like.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I reckon maybe fifteen, Yeah, fifteen, Yeah, probably
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: at that fifteen twenty minute mark. But yeah, I'm pretty
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: pretty excited to see how he goes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: His energy this year. And his whole run.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Is yeah is I know I say that without a
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: second bad The lines he hits whole.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Running, no hole running, yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the lines he hits he runs with yeah
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: he yeah, he's on a mission.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every time he's about to get that ball, he's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: on a mission.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: He's got a good level of magro.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love it. So I'm really excited for that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: All Right, we've got the King, Wally Lewis Dan, we.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Got the King?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Good? Good mate? Yeah, not bad? Did we wake up
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: well no, no not.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I can guarantee you didn't wake up. That was that
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: was done at about four forty four this morning.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: They were the good ones.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So so what happens for what's the Origin day like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Wally?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: What do you mean up to today?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Entering phone calls and doing interviews, doing the whole normal thing.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: It's a I think you wouldn't miss it for quens
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: talking about Origin.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: You know, who's likely to be the key players for each.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Team and the pressure that sits upon the shoulders of
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: the Queensland players tonight.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And who do you what do you think then, mate?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Who do you think will be the key particularly for Queensland?
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Well, Kem Munster is certainly going to be the guy
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: that leads the way. And I'm going to say I've
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: been extremely impressed with Harry Grant's performances over the last
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: year or two. He certainly causes disruption to the opposition
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: defense and does it extremely well. The guy that does
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: a whole pile of the defensive work is Rupert Conner
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: in the Queensland team.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: He's a guy that certainly is worth his weight in gold.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: And I think that if he can sort of inspire
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: the queen playing guys into action up front to make
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: sure that they get rid of the pressure that the
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: joint Gantic in New South Wales forward pack will cast.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Upon them, I think it will be.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: It'll promise great things for Queensland in the second half.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I know we you know, everyone talks a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: about New South Wales. You know the Halves got Moses
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and Cleary and then also fall back into desca who
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: else apart from those three? So if we keep them quiet,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: who else do we have to watch out for in
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: that team?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You reckon.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Mad? Who did you?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You mentioned Moses, Cleary and Antonesca. So if you take
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: those three out of the equation right and they keep
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: them quiet, who else you know can can win the
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: game for the New South Wales.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: I make the guy that i'm I'm probably the president
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: of this guy's fan club. Despite him being a new
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: South Wales. Yeah, he's He's worth his weight in gold.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: That guy, he is just one of the best workers
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: that I've that I've ever seen in origin.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: He gets through it. Hudson Young in the second row
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: is certainly going to be able to assist him. And
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: that there's a bloke you know from your and my
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: former club, the Bronco's paying Hearf.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Who's probably going to make life very very difficult for
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: for the Queenslanders as well.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But certainly the one guy that that's got to.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Be stopped in the in the the Blues outfit is Cleary.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: I thinks his leadership certainly will be will be quite
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: impressive as well.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: How do you how do you see us using Recee
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Walsh if at all? Do you do you do you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: see them trying to get him into the game or
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is it just a matter of an injury?
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well I think he's you know, it's probably one
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: of those situations where Ree certainly will be injected into
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: the game. When is that going to be Well, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: think that's going to be a decision for us ability
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: to make at a different stage of the game. Certainly
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: he might say, you know, I plan put him.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: On ten minutes before the halftime hooter.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: That may be the case planning before the game, but
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of the time you make a decision on
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: when you're going to.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Use a player where and for how long.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Through the course of the game, you might think that
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: things aren't going too well for us. He needs to
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: be out there, we need to shatter the Blues defense.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: There'll be another opportunity if New South Wales have been
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: playing the game at a frantic speed and he can
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: be used at that time.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: So I think the judgment the Billy is probably going.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: To be one of the most important features for his
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: coaching tonight, because there's just too many good players on
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: show to you know, we're almost have a reading like
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: a book and say we'll use him at the ten minute,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: then we'll do this, then we'll do this, then we'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: do this.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: As you know orangin footy just isn't played that way.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: You're able to try and take control of the game after.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: You know, some features tend to just pop up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: There will be it might be an injury for the
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: opposition that comes up and you think, all right, now.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: If if that's one of the key ball players.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Now it's sort of time to make the most, or
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: if it's one of their key defenders, I'm sorry you'd
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: use your key attacking player to try and make the
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: most and really slaughter the oppositions defense.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: So it's pretty much a case of, you know, you
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: can have a plan for the game, but it doesn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: always turn out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: To be one which will continue to be featured throughout
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: the course of the game.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Hey that now, speaking of plans, Well, mate, I'm actually
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: here right now drinking you'll be Queensland Beer Co. Now,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: was was that ever in your plans was to be
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: part own a in a beer company?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Did?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: How did that come about?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Me? Well?
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I probably thought that when I was approached and asked
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: was I interested in taking a role in a beer company?
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: And after watching you on numerous occasions, Mate, tack into
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: a beer or two or three or at different rugby
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: league functions, I thought that mightn't be a bad idea
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: There might be a chance of doing.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: It, but made to be on the serious side to
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: be able to jump in with a couple of other
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: footy guys that have probably you know, played a fair
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: role in in in sport that has excited different people
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: around the state and usually sports fans are also beer
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: fans and.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: They look to take part in it. And I thought
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: it was it was good. It was a good move.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I was approached by a man that I'm sure there's
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: no surprise to you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: And to have those guys involved that are all, you know, former.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Footy players that are involved in business ventures, I thought
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: it was an outstanding idea.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I know you're going to tell me, did I hear
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: a cash registering?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I was going to say.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: That may have been the case, but I was suggesting
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: that if I asked for a little bit of a story,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: I may have been reminded of the numbers on my
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: birth certificate.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: They were a little bit older than the.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You are the statesman of the players made. It's true,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the elderly statesman. So well you got you've got a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: score prediction for tonight, mate, what do you think is
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: going to happen?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I never I hate making a school prediction.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: So many things can can really rule that and give
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: it no chance whatsoever. There may be a little bit
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: of a shower come down, there may be a player
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: that gets hurt. But I've been Queensland to win it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: so yeah, there could be particularly with a referee from
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: south of the border.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: That could happen who has been in the news a
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: little bit lately.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: That may that may be the case, but I think
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: for Queensland to win it, we're going to be winning
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: it by by two or four points.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I can't see. It's absolutely racing away.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: With monotonous regularity to the tryline and to restrict New
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: South Wales.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: From chalking up a high score.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's it's really got to be on the
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: shoulders of the workhorses at the back of.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: The Queensland pack, Reuben kind, Kurk.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Cap Well and Britain their korra. They're going to have
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: to do a whole pile of work and made it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: There is one guy that I'm really going to be
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: looking forward to watching tonight and having seen his performances
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: in the first one.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Maxie Platt.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she gets through some work and he does with
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: almost not less regularity, but it becomes very valuable to.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: His teammates, heading places that I wouldn't have.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Did you play with his dad? Did you play with
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: John Plath?
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a little a little bit after it,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: but Platty I came from the I was playing for
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the same club. It was winter Badley where Platy came from,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and I've got to say he's the cheekiest little that
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: I ever used to enjoy his entertainment. And when the
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Broncos were at their best, Plathy played a significant role
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: in making sure that they were a first class too.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Max is a big, big, big key
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to us tonight. I think.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I think he could actually set a couple of tries
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: up in this game. And I reckon that could be
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the difference is that Ford's playmaker skills and you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: like you just said it, you said yo, And then
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I think on outside we got class.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be good and it's going to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be fair. It's going to be a great game.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I ain't Yeah, I don't think there's anything that's a
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: surprise in State of Origin. You've got the world's best
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: players on show to see them go out there and
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: they have a bit of a role to play a
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: part in the team game. But they've also got one
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: that goes without saying, and that's refusing to let their
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: mates down.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: You've done that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: You know how great it can be and how disappointed
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: you can be if you if you fail to provide
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: that assistance.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: For your teammates. You're not demanding it, but you're expecting it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: And that may sound a little bit similar, but certainly
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: in a match of this importance, these guys go out
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: there and they just refuse to give up.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: They provide their best. If it's good enough at.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: The end of the night, well they finish in with
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: the right numbers on the scoreboard. If it doesn't, well
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: it's going to be a very embarrassing next twelve months.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Listening to the Blues chair.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Carry on, I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us, Thanks mate, my pleasure. Here
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: he is King Wally Lewis now actually speaking of playing
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for your mates. We had Anthony Milford on the radio
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: show this and I want to play I want to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: put a bit of this video and play some of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the audio for those that wouldn't have heard it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: What happened.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But Mills opening game, his very first game, is a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: young fellow, he was on fire for the Broncos, gets
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: his first game for Queensland and about was it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Just just the start of about ten minutes into the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: second tennis in the second half, Queensland a going.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Pretty I thought we needed to change up.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: New South Wales has the ball on the attack, there's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a cutout past Milford's there to make the tackle.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They went to pass and I mate quicker hands and
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I expected So I can't hit a bloke without the ball,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: so the passment behind him.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you hit Anthony Milford. Well, I had to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: pull out so hard he was knocked out. Yep, you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: can cuss your own mate.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I was a big boy back then, undred and nine
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: kilo as I was. You want to run into these things.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want it in the back of the Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: he got it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, and he was gone. He never
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: came back.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: He evened it up about four weeks later. Yeah, he
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: knocked me out for fifteen minutes. I think he won.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Well, and the year later he did his shoulder. Never
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: played Origin again. So now that wasn't my You were
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: effectively Origin.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I was dropped by then, so I couldn't have effected
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: that one. Yeah, No, I didn knock him out.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: He could have been anything.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Mil Look, he actually was playing a great game of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: footy before I knocked him.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway, But he did knock you out. About four weeks
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: later in the Bronx game.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was asleep for five ten fifteen. I think
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: they said snor and blood out of my face. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: had the ambulances and I had the Yeah, the ambos
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: in tears, laughing, and they actually said this is professional.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And at the time she said don't he would be loving.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: This right now, said you had an audience, had a
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: great audience. I don't remember any of it. Yeah, none
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: of it. I thought I was going back out.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Going to talk to Sammy in the second Sammy's.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: On wouldn't take a public bus on a public bus
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: in Melbourne? Yeah, okay, Well, jeez, that's that's hard work.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Isn't it really hard for him at the moment?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It's not us glamorous when it seems anymore?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Public bus?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So a couple of the we didn't get through the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: through the whole team lest so let's do that. So
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: playing the fullbacks to Desko pongs evenly matched, you go
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: through the back lines.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think there could be any anymore
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: even if.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: You tried it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cobbo and had a pretty ordinary start, probably the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: worst game I've seen him play for game one. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you couldn't.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Never do that again.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's ever dropped four balls in the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: first half Leland the whole game of football.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So and Cobo's career form, isn't.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: He Yeah, I was.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: If there's anything I was ever proud of was seeing
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: him back, seeing him back there.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: But also the game he played that was unbelievable.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: You got Center's, you got Colaa Toya, you know, Stags, Hammers, Hammer,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: and then you got the wingers like Mark.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: You say that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, Marky, Mark, he's one of the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: most exciting players. This is interesting to see now because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: now he's up up against the absolute best, so it'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see if he can do.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: So he's up against Cobber, Yeah, I'm right, Yeah, that'd
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: be actually a great match up. And then we've got
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: jo Jo Fafiedah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we found out today. It's really real name, got
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: nicknamed by a kindergarten and kid in France.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: In France.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: But I think the backs, you know, and again you
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: go five eight Mitchell Moses camera monster. That even match
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: up Nathan clearly seeing Walker different parts of their career,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: but even match up, they're both the can both turn,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: but they can just something can come out of nothing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: You know, you've got to be always on it and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: be careful for those two.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I see this as one of the most evenly matched
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Origin games for a long time.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think we will, but we'll do it. They
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: did again, well, you know, the way they started Game
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: one was awful.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all the mistake it was.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: It was just un Origin like. So I don't think
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: we'll see that again.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you go, you know, Dylan Lucas on his day,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: but I think it's going to be unreal. But you
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: got Kirk cape Ole there, who's a he's a warrior.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: He's done it for forty years. He probably he looks
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: like he's been playing for one hundred years.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: One of the best first halfs in Game one. Second
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: half he got movement of the centers, which is not
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: where he you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Know, but he can play there. He can play anywhere.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Kur.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But I think if that happened again, you know, be
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: terrorized by stags because yeah, it's just SAgs just.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Too too quick. Is well he's too powerful too. But yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I reckon it's the bench. Yeah, I truly believe it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the bench that's going to win this game. It's it's
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: not even the people on the bench, it's how they
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: use them right with the game now it's there's not
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: so this is one of the most important parts of
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: our game right now is how the coaches use their bench.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: We've got Sammy, Sammy on the line. Okay, Champion, I mate,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: How's how's my mind? How's Melbourne?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Melbourne is Melbourne today?
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: It's beautiful weather down here and I'm really excited for
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: tonight's game.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: It doesn't look like.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: There's any rain around, which is good because were Origin suck?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Have you had a few and.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: I've had a few beers.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: I wish I had a glass of wine at lunch today.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I just sounds a bit slobby, that's all. I'm just check.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: I've just been listening to you and keep this waffle
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: for the last five minutes, Tom to talk about waffling.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just nice. I said slowy, I said sloby, mate.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Not yeah, okay, yeah, okay, sweet sweet.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sloppy. Do you like just being in Melbourne and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: driving around? Is there you know the because the amount
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: of Origin Jerseys we see just walking around here is
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: out of control? But what about in Melbourne? Is there
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that level of excitement or what's it like?
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: There's so much more today actually compared to yesterday. We
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: got here yesterday down here with some of the Bronco sponsors,
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: so it wasn't as many Bronc as many Origin jerseys.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: But yeah, today definitely walking around the streets here a
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: lot more.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: This This pains me to say at the end of
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: the day, there's been a lot more Blue jerseys. And yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: I hundred percent I brushed your coach because I just
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: need money to time away from you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: We don't see each other all week, mate said, this
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: is our one day a week.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Do we get this? How good is that?
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Fortnite?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You rushes for the Bronx? Why do we pay this play? Honestly,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: you don't pay me, So that's why.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I mate, Sammy, do you reckon?
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Though?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I was? I thought it might be maybe fifty to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: fifty in the g tonight, like as far as fans,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just because you know, there's so many Queensland is playing
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: for the Storm. They've got obviously a huge support there
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that maybe that might transfer to Queensland, but just judging
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: by the jerseys on street maybe not.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is street chat for the time being.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: I'm getting picked up on the bus at quarter past six.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: Maybe it might change when I get to the stadium,
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: maybe there might.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Be more Queenslanders there.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: I will say I bumped into Matt yesterday. He had
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: some of the Fogs nineteen eighty broute.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: They were there, they were heading to the stadium.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: I bumped into some of the QRL sponsors as well,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Steve Lacy from Rebel Sport and a few different guys,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: Rich from from another brand which I won't mention it
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: because they sponsored me, not the show.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Game dropping people that run businesses like what's doing here?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Like I don't get it?
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why not?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Anyways? You know what, who? What are you picking the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: night of than.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: You know, you've got a few debutones there. What are
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: you actually expecting from the from the game tonight?
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if those same opportunities are going
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: to be there that we're in the first half of Queensland.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: So I think you're going to have to fight for
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: those opportunities, and it might take a little bit of
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: strong defense, maybe hitting underneath the board to get some turnovers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: But what I saw in game one was very very
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: good and very positive. We had our opportunities as a
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Queen's m team and we executed really well, and then
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I think we're going to have to do the same
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: thing this summer around. We're just going to have to
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: hang in there, keep thirteen players on the field and
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: go from there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: But I've got all the confidence of the world with
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: this Queen's Lane team. I think the changes Billy has made.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: I'm really interested actually to see how he uses well
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: ching and I'm sure that he's done work throughout the
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: week and behind closed doors to know and understand what
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: that's going to be. And we just have to see
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: how that unfolds when the game starts.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: But I heard you waffling before ot about the benches
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: and how important they are, and I think they always
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: after these game. So I think where I think we
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: have from New South Walest covered.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: I think they've got all physicians covered on that bench.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: And I think that we will be coming back.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: To Brisbane with a drawn series and we'll just smoke
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: them at home.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: And so court if we uh, you know, well, we
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: are going to win tonight. But after we win tonight,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: who's the Who's man of the match do you think
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: for Queensland.
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: I think he might even be a little mate at
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: the back or and emotionally charged Tino for I saw
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: his thoughts of players to go back to him and
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: his family losing his dad to speak.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: But we saw the emotion of Cameron Monthster last year.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: And how that really inspires the group.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: These Queensland boys are really behind Big Tina as well
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: this time around and really.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Really support him.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're walking off the field with a
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: loss tonight, and it will be off the back of
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: a huge forwards performance from Tino. And I think KP
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: back really wanting to repay the boys for what happened
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: in game one.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: He's my big He's part of the match.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Who's that teen KP?
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I think Tina goes hard, but I just think KP
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: from game one he was our best player.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: We win that game.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I believe he gets me in the match and again
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I think for this game he'll be a massive part.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: To us winning.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Can you boys explain that as a non footballer For me,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the idea of losing your dad and then playing a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: game of footy, you know a few days later, it
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't actually work from in my mind, like why would
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he be doing that and how how does a footballer
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: rationalize it or why does he want to play?
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: I can't make I can't explain it myself personally, says,
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: I haven't lost my father.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: I have lost my mother. I'm lucky enough to still
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: have the.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: End of my life, but yeah, you know, things happened
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: with I've missed.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Certain things within my family.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: I can still remember missing two of my brother's weddings.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: There's been family also.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Not necessarily my mom and dad, but you know, some
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: significant people within.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: My family where I haven't been able to go to
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: their funerals.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: But it's at the end of the day, it's that job.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: We got there and we have to go do a job.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: And he just hit down, bump up, and refocus on
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: what you need to do and go out there and
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: do it. And then the time will come after this
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: game for teen how to go spend some time with
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: his family. His family would be there supporting him one
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: hundred percent, wanting him to go out there and do
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: what he loves doing because that's what his dad would
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: have loved to have seen.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm the same.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I can't speak from experience, but I just know he
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: must from you know, when I was not ten years old,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: so I knew his family pretty well, and I just
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: knew how much his dad, you know, how much foot
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: he meant to him, but also his dad, and growing up,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: all his dad ever wanted was came, you know, he
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: just he was so happy whenever he came, did anything well.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: And because of what came went through when he was
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: a younger, fella, yeah, too small.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: You're never going to make it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Clubs brushed him right, and his dad was the only
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: one kept saying, you'll make it, mate, You're good enough.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: You'll just keep working.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: And I know I was there those those conversations, So
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: when that happened, I just knew that his whole family
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: would have said, you know, your dad's going to be
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: watching you, and he'll be spraying you up from up there, saying,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: don't you dare not play for me, because what he
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: would want is for him to go out there play
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: for him, because you know, the happiest that he was was.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: When he was watching his son play rugby league.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: So I think that's the reason why they do it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: And like Sammy said, alfter the game, he'll then go
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: home and spend all of that time with his family.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: So I think it's Yeah. I think there's a lot
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: of there's a lot of you know, people saying how
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: could you do it? But when you play the game
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: and you know it's it is for your family. You know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I'm being like that that that is it like you
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: do it for the family because you got there because
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: of them. Yeah, so that's that's that's my experience in
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: that I said first hand, I have I don't know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: but just now in months in his family that would
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: have been, you know, the reason why he ended up
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: playing that game.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It makes sense. So hey, Sammy, let's put together a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: multi mate. Do you think an Origin MAULTI You've got
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to try and score.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: He's hard.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: It's hard. I mean betting on Origin is like kissing.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You five tries in the game.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, there could be nothing. I'm going to grant Harry,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: grant to score like that anytime you're still there sound yeah?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think what we saw last time round was
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: all that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Are we interrupting something?
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: No, no, I wish, But what what I think we
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: learned last time my last game is the full backs
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: is defending the line?
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Is there a bit that keep it in behind is
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: going to be there?
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: We saw new south Wales score if that we saw
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Queensland score for.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: It as well. Artist think that it's like the semiwalkick
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: kicks through and it's either.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Going to be and the outside back or maybe a
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: back roll. I say, I love the follow I think
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: you're stand up tonight as a senior sword at the
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: end of the.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Team and I want to go I'm going.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: To go Capes.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Is it wrong for me? I just feel like I.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Feel like I feel like a far longer. He's not
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: playing in this game.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Even though he's in Melbourne.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: He could come in both.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Go to which is Hammers well hamm Yeah.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Actually you know what, you know, I feel like odds
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: if we're going to play for the most likely thing,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: we should put a blue in. No, don't, no, no,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: because I just feel like they will score it some stage.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: They will score it some stage, Yeah they will.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, but we don't even don't even wish up
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: on anyone scoring mate.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well then I'll put the hammer in. All right,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the hammer's in. Okay, so we've got Hammer, Capes and
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: and Harry Grant. That's not a bad bet.
• 30:57
