Reliving last nights u19s origin game and reviewing in depth
And welcome back to the short ball podcast. For an under 19s origin review, Queensland got the W at North Sydney over last night, 28 points to 14 over New South Wales. Pretty clinical display all round. The forwards, very, very good. I've sort of posted my immediate thoughts over on Instagram, so I'll go a little bit into more detail. I've got a stat sheet to look at here as well for a few numbers for reference. I rewatched the game earlier today and sort of watched it in a little bit more detail than I did while I was live at the game. Just picked up a few extra sort of things that I didn't notice in my initial watching as well. So we'll get straight into that. First of all, full credit to Queensland, better side on the day. And they had the better forward pack and all that just sort of proved to be true in the end. They've had three Queensland forwards were an age up in this contest, and they'll still just simply better. But it really stood out in that rewatch, like just how many times that it wasn't necessarily Hayden Watson's kicking game that was forcing them to make these errors. It was just they were just hesitant and not coming up towards the ball. I thought that was um terribly disappointing from a New South Wales perspective how many times that they allowed the ball to bounce. But um we'll sort of follow the game along from the start and um and sort of go from there. But yeah, I I thought early on, New South Wales looked like they had sort of the early dominance. Um the first five minutes or so, they were on top of the game, like visually at the game. Like I re-watched it and like it came off a bit of it come off an error, a Queensland error, that they got the early field position. Um not an error, but they dropped the ball backwards, got pinned inside their ten. And like I thought earlier, there was a couple of early big tackles from you know, the likes of Chris Petras. I thought I thought he was New South Wales best in this game. Chris Petras, um, he was he had a couple of pretty big shots early. Christian Tarpa Moores did as well. Um yeah, I I thought early on they were good, but you know, it didn't take long for Queensland to get into the rhythm of the game once you know Hayden Watson got a couple of big kicks away early. They were able to sort of settle into the contest. I think like second or third set for New South Wales, they started on the 50, but then um they had a set that started on the 20, and the Queensland defensive line just put so much pressure on him. Bishop Neal came up with a shot, Koiner came up with a shot, um and Tupal Francis came up with a couple of big hits as well, and just pinned them inside their 40 off of that set, like just constricted them as I sort of mentioned the pregame. Cody Starr as well, I thought he was good in his first stint. Um, but yeah, early on the that that set sort of just summed up the game, like the Queensland's physical presence and their defense. Um, it was sort of what I was expecting pregame with how um you know defensively just good their middles are, and they just they couldn't miss a tackle in that first 20 minutes either, Queensland. Like it was really, really dominant performance all around. Um, Amari Winyand I thought was very, very good in that first half. Um, he obviously scored the opening try, good little bit of awareness, you know, off the back of that initial set where they sort of pinned New South Wales between the 20 and 40. Um, they you know march up the field, get an attacking kick in, um, a penalty goes their way, and then they score a try through Amari Winyard. And I thought defensively a couple with a few huge stops, he had that. Um I think it was him and Cody Starr that had the miss on Toby Batten for that try in the second half, but I thought in the first half they were both very good. Um a guy that I wanted to speak on from the Queensland side, a lot of defensive pressure on that left wing was C.S.I. Poese. Dane Jennings, I was sitting there complaining about how Dane Jennings just didn't get enough quality ball. Like you need to get that kid early ball. And I thought he was still one of their best, right? Dane Jennings. Like he came up with a few big plays, which I'll talk about in a second. But like every single time it went out to that New South Wales right edge, Poese just had his man like completely covered, come up shooting out of the line, made the correct decision, you know, nine times out of ten, I'd nearly even say ten times out of ten. Um defensively, just super, super sounded. You know, it wasn't really something that I picked up on as much live watching the game, but certainly in the rewatch there, there was probably four or five times that New South Wales shifted right, and you know, I thought the Haas were pretty disappointing, to be completely honest. And like a couple of those balls were telegraphed, and like they just didn't get enough quality ball out to Jennings. But every single time Jennings touched the ball, Poese was in his face. It was just he had zero time to do anything with it, and it was was thanks to that left-winger's decision making in defence. I thought he was super impressive for for Queensland, CSI Poese. Um, and yeah, just helped them to shut down anything that New South Wales tried to create. Like, you look at the try that he scored, New South Wales' first troll was actually pretty good on a Tony Large and Carta Marico linking up, probably the only time that they did throughout the whole entire game. Um, they go left, Toby wins the tips onto Iacopo, and he sort of barges over. Um it was a solid try. The second trial, just a bit of Toby Batten brilliance, and like other than that, like Queensland just defensively very, very strong. Um, you know, and you know, the back three was a big difference, sort of yardage. Um, I'll have a look at the numbers here, yardage-wise, but like Elise Clark, 156 metres from 17 carries, CSI Puese 16 for 120. Like, this is the back five for New South Wales, only two of them went up over 100 metres. That was Toby Winter and uh Joe Baranke, who both had um 111 metres, which is less than the one, two, and three for Queensland. Like, that was a big difference there. Um, and yeah, then you look at the tackle efficiencies over here as well. Like, again, like I said, miss tackles, not the be-all and end-all tackles, like it's a very misleading stat. But um, you look at the numbers here, like, three Queensland forwards were over 90% tackle efficiency. Diesel Hagen was the only or Diesel Hagen and Christian Tupper Moores, who Tupper Moores only played 22 minutes, like he was 95.2%, Diesel Hagen was 92.6%. His defence was actually very good. Diesel Hagen, 50 tackles, two missed, very busy through the middle. I thought in attack he could have come up with a few better options, but defensively he was very sound, Diesel Hagen, so um you can't speak too negatively upon his game. But yeah, it was just um a bit of a tough watch um from uh New South Wales perspective, and Queensland just far too good. Um I thought as well another guy that I wanted to speak about, um, although I should probably go back to that talking about the game for a perspective. So they score that first try, Murray Winyard goes over, and then from there they were just pretty dominant. Um again, like I said, the forward pack, you just keep talking about it. I'll just go on and on about it because those those forwards were really the difference in the game. Like I said in the preview, they've got a better forward pack, and they did, they just dominated that game. Um, yeah, Tupole Francis, 11 for 91, two tries, a line break, um, a couple of offloads. That offloading game, actually. I said in the preview, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 15 to 2 and they're just completely rolling here. Um, you got one, four, five, uh, six, twelve. That's straight from Bishop Neal, that jump 13, 14. So Queensland had 14 offloads, two, two, three, four, six, seven. So fourteen to seven was the offload count in the end. So it wasn't as big a discrepancy as probably I thought watching the game live, but um it is still a big discrepancy. But anyway, they roll along. Tupole Francis scores that try. Obviously, I just mentioned he had a really good game um with those two tries and you know, 39 tackles as well. Very busy through the middle, defensively, very strong. Um, yeah, just a top performance from him. I've sort of already posted about those um up and age forwards in in Jet Ryan and um Tupole Francis and those sorts of guys, just the fact that Queensland, you know, I'll go a little bit into detail here. The fact that Queensland have three up and age forwards in this contest who were three of the best players on the park is ridiculous. Like Tupole Francis, you know how much of a gun he is. I've spoken enough about him. Bishop Neal as well, like six offloads in a single game. He terrorised that right edge, and you know, him and Alezai Clark were awesome in this game. But like Jet Ryan as well off the bench, Jersey 17. I said in the preview, he's the most Queensland pick of all time. I actually didn't know he was an age up prior to this contest, and then sort of was looking at it after and got told that he was um he was up in age. It's like he came onto the field, his stint was awesome. Like every single run had impact. He didn't miss a tackle, you know, he just looked dangerous. And apart from that, Shepard, probably a poor moment. Apart from that, like he did everything at 100%, and he did everything well. Zero errors as well, like eight runs, 87 meters, 12 tackles, zero miss, zero errors in like th 37 minutes. Like, it's just a good work rate, it's no nonsense, it's you know, just do the job that you you you have to do off the bench, and he'll come back next year and and be in this side and be one of the premier players. I have no doubt over that. Like, very good for season for the storm in SG ball, you know, just uh one of those guys that you'd love to play next to. Um, you know, contact very good. He had a couple of moments there, you know, just completely dominating tackles one-on-one as well. Like, yeah, I was very impressed, particularly on that rewatch. Like, watching the game live, um, I probably missed his game. Like, I I noticed a couple of good moments from him, but I probably missed the the detail in his game, and yeah, he was he was incredible, and you know, obviously everyone knows how good Bishop Neal in Tupac Francis is and was, and you know, uh sort of had expectations on those guys coming in, but you know, those three guys that were up in age just absolutely killed it. Um and then another one as well, like I mentioned him just before, Alez A Clark 17 runs for 156 metres, scored that awesome try running off Hayden Watson, um, who obviously I'll talk about in a second player of the match and all that. I thought that was an easy choice, but like he he scores that try running off Hayden Watson. He was part of the build-up for Tubal Francis's second try. Um, he just had a couple of really nice moments, like that kick that went in behind from Carta Marica, he's sweeping around the back, picks it up, makes about 20 metres, and you know, what could have been a very, very good kick from Mariko turns into Queenslander at the 20 and are rolling now. Um, yardage carries were very good defensively. I thought this was the big moment, like obviously, so he missed the tackle on Marcelo Zi-Acoppole. You know, you allow that to happen. But like Toby Winter skips to the outside of him. It's that typical two-on-two situation that you see Toby Winter in the red zone. It's the the highlight that you know, if you did video on him coming into a game, you could see that a million times. He gets the centre, one-on-one, skips to the outside, and it's try-time for his winner, it's try-time for him. Alexei Clark shoots up and just snaps him in one of the best tackles of the game. I thought that was a huge moment, and it sort of summed up as well that first, you know, particularly that first half for me from a Queensland perspective was they just refused to miss a tackle, like for the most part. Like I just, you know, New South Wales had plenty of attacking opportunities, and you know, Poese screaming up, Elizabeth Clark screaming up, and just making these really crucial one-on-one tackles out in an edge, and then through the middle as well, like you know, those guys that I mentioned before in Winyard and and Bishop Neal and you know, Coiner, they had those moments as well making those crucial one-on-one tackles when New South Wales were rolling a little bit. So um, yeah, it's just you you can just rap Queensland all day for this performance. That would just the better side overall. Um from a New South Wales perspective, you know, where do you start? I think the two back rowers, Darcy Smith and Chris Petris, I thought were their best players by far. Um you know, Darcy Smith, he broke a couple of tackles. I think what did he have? I think he had eight tackle breaks or something along those lines. Like he had a few, he had a few tackle breaks, 16 runs for 130 metres, and Chris Petras, 12 runs for 114. Um Petris missed that tackle for the Tupac Francis try, but he was just everywhere in that first half. I can't I can forgive him for being a little bit tired considering the work rate that he got through. Um and then Darcy Smith, he you know, he had one error in terms of you know, he was on the ground and threw away an offload. It was a silly play. Um, but apart from that, like he he looked there most likely, and those two just punching holes, really shining lights in this game. Dane Jennings as well, like you know, look at Dane Jennings 12 months ago, 24 months ago, whatever it is. If he's having a game where he's not getting that early quality ball that he that he likes to get to to be able to create these magical moments that he that he can have, he's not really impacting the game where he's not doing too much. I thought here he had some huge plays. Um, he he came up on a loose ball that was sort of uh thrown around. There was a couple of offloads going around, he jumps on the loose ball. Um the Queensland were attacking, I think they're up 12-nil at this point, or it might have been 6-0 early in the half, and um he comes screaming in, makes a crucial tackle when you know I think Bishop Neal got an off-load away and then it went to Tupole Francis across to Lato. And um he comes up with the tackle there. You know, he just came up with a few good moments, a couple of kick pressure and and screaming up um on the kick chase, just a couple of moments there. I I thought he was was good. He had 16 tackles with zero missed as well, um, defensively, very, very strong. Like he he just did not allow those um opposition outside backs to really do anything against him. And you know, when you look at like I said, the improvement of Dane Jennings over the years, he doesn't have a game of this quality, like he was good, Dane Jennings. He doesn't have a game of this quality without the that early attacking ball and and the ability to create something magical. He did this game off the back of just hard work and being a good defender, and that's something that you you couldn't say, you know, 12 months ago, 24 months ago. So I think his improvement has been incredible to see. Um as I'm just getting notifications in the background. Hopefully that hasn't come up too loud, but it was loud as hell in my ear. Um looking through a couple more of the numbers. I look, I've got to be honest about it. I thought the um left edge was very poor defensively in attack. Like I thought Marcelo Ciacopo actually attacking wise, like he had a couple of really good yardage carries, strong ball runner. He scored that try, obviously, as well. Like I thought he wasn't too bad in attack, but hey, those missed tackles for some of those tries, like on that Hayden Watson try. Like, that was a bad miss. Like he comes out, just tries to put a shot on and doesn't stick at all, and then you know that Alize Clark try just fell off him. Like a couple of bad miss tackles there. On a Tony Large, he I just thought he was too quiet. Um, yeah, he just really they their attack just wasn't offering enough. Um, Carta Marico as well. Like, I thought he was pretty poor. Um, and on Tony Large, like I thought defensively he was actually pretty solid. He came up with a few good stops on Bishop Neil, um, but you know, a couple of offloads came away off him, and um, yeah, I I just thought generally they were getting terrorised by Bishop Neal all day, and Alezai Clark was one of the best players on the field as well. They're getting terrorised by him, and um Hayden Watson as well was mostly going down that right edge and had plenty of joy. Hayden Watson spoke about in the preview. Queensland have got a great forward pack, they're just gonna make their attack heliocentric around Hayden Watson. It is he does what he wants to do, and everybody else has just got to fill in the line. I thought they did a very good job of that. He got the ball, he looked dangerous all day, and he comes up with a lot of the attacking plays. Um, obviously, he has that try assist to Alezday Clark, he has a try assist for Tupac Francis's second try. He was in and around that the whole time. Um, he scores a try himself, uh, an awesome running, um, running halves try. Like, yeah, just every single time you looked up, Hayden Watson had the ball in his hand in attacking territory. It was just the the ideal performance from him. What's his numbers? 13 for 114 uh run meters, seven tackle breaks, two line breaks, a try, 26 tackle break. Yeah, defensively as well. He was very good, actually. I meant to mention that. Like he came up, he came screaming out of line and made a couple of big hits, um, and sort of nothing really went through him either. Like, um, I've actually got a try causes sheet here down the outside. Um, this is good detail here, but yeah, no try causes for him, no errors, no penalties, nothing. Like he just it was a it was a 10 out of 10 performance from Hayden Watson, really. And I thought he was easily the man of the match. I know a lot of people um were sort of saying Bishop Neal and stuff like that. I thought, you know, I had it pre-prepared that Hayden Watson had it won. Like I'll put it on my full-time graphic before it'd even been announced. Like I just thought, um, yeah, the amount of quality touches he had on both sides of the ball. Like, he made 26 tackles as a half. And like just defensively was incredible, like visually as well, in both watches, like in watching it live and in the re-watch as well. Best player in the park by distance. Um, anyway, back to New South Wales. Spoke on Diesel Hagen, spoke on Dane Jennings. I thought the bench was actually good. Like, I saw a little bit of criticism for some of the some of the guys off the bench. Um, I I thought they changed the game when they got on, and I think most of the points that were scored by New South Wales were while these bench players were on. Toby Batten was one of the tri-scorers. Roman Tuymar, he came on, you know, statistically, it wasn't an amazing performance, but I thought he had a couple of nice carries getting quick play the balls away, and they rolled off the back of him. Um, you know, when I think his first carry of the game was, you know, he made about 10 to 15 metres, got a quick play the ball away. There were the markers were down and they attacked, and I think they scored not long after that. Um, Eddie Kalis as well. Um, what's his numbers? His numbers weren't great either. He was on for 29 minutes, um, but leading the kick chase as he usually does defensively come up with a few big hits. Um, I actually thought he was pretty good, Eddie Kalis. He he scrambled for a couple of loose balls as well. He comes up with that charge down on Hayden Watson, just these little effort plays that Eddie Kalis has in nearly every single game that he plays. Like I've seen a little bit of criticism around his game. I didn't think he was that bad. He had a he had a pretty bad error late in his stint, probably just before he came off. Like I said in the preview, he's a guy that's an effort-on-effort player that you know probably would that he was coming off the bench because I don't think he can play a full game at the moment. Just because he empties a gas tank and he emptied the gas tank here and then came up with a late um sort of uh pretty poor error, but they were chasing points. Um yeah, so only one error, um, no penalties, one try cause they've got him down for which one would that have been? Not sure. 21 tackles in 29 minutes, five runs for 34, or a tackle break. I don't have any like assists or line break involvements here, but um yeah, statistically again not great, but I just thought visually he had a lot of really nice effort plays. Um, and James Finnegan as well, I thought was pretty good, although he had a couple of poor misses um for mine. Um, yeah, especially for that Tupac Francis try. Well, he he you know he was actually the one that stuck on the contact. Chris Petras fell off, but still I think he probably got to be winning that contact. Um, but I thought he was pretty good in attack, um, had a couple of good carries there. Um yeah selections came under fire in in the pre-am and you know it turns out to be turned out to be pretty true. Like I thought I thought that back five, like like Toby Winter had two errors. I didn't think he was too bad. He had a couple of nice moments. Um obviously had that you know the tri-sis for your copper. He had a couple of moments where you know he put um Rucker through for a gave him a bit of space, and they you know rolled off the back of that. He had a couple of good kick returns. He was probably the leading run meters or close to. Um yeah, he was in the top, yeah, he was in the top five for run meters, but um, yeah, 111, one of the only you know, members of the back line that went up over a hundred. Um no tackle breaks. That's surprising, although I guess yeah, he did get wrapped up a couple of times from some from some good Queensland defense. Um yeah, yeah, a couple of those back line selections just didn't didn't perform all that well. Um, you know Two errors for Winter, two errors for Ruck. Uh zero errors Archie Meseritz. I'm not sure that was correct. Um I thought he had an error. Um thought he had an error close to his line, sort of going up for a catch, but it might have gone backwards or I don't know. But um thought he had an error as well. But I thought he let a lot of balls bounce. Did Archie Meseritz? I I wasn't too critical of that selection. Um, you know, he was obviously killing it, but maybe not to pick him on the wing. Um I I thought they were gonna put him back to fullback actually, but um, because they had Toby Winter there as a wing. I obviously I I understand why they went Toby Winter back there, he's probably the better fullback. Um or you know, at least you know, he was an Australian school boys centre last year. Um Newcastle Knights fullback over the last couple of years and and you know, been very good there. But um yeah, I don't know. You put Archie Meserz back to fullback. Does he have a better game? Not sure. Um I know he's I think he's been playing 5'8. Um I think he's been playing 5'8 as well at um can't remember where I was good where where he was playing um playing 5'8 somewhere, but um yeah, uh out of position, probably just didn't get a couple of those things correct. Um Marcel C'Copa, like I said, defensively, I thought he that it was poor on Atoni Large, thoug uh on Anthony Large, sorry, don't pronounce the eye. Um thought he was wasn't at his best. Carter Marico, uh I just thought he had an off game, but like I said, those up and age halves and up and age spine members, you you he's gonna be a guy that comes back into this game next year and has a blinder. Like you I was saying that I was speaking to someone at at the game and was saying that like he hasn't had the best game, but he's gonna be a guy that next year will come out and have a blinder. Um, you know, especially when it hasn't been going right for you and your forward packs, not really creating all that much for you, and you know, your back fives not getting you out of trouble all that much, letting the ball bounce and like getting pinned inside their 10, and you know, the they're having to kick from inside their 40 a lot of the time. Not too much the halves could have done to fix all that just cut out, so I'll try and continue from where I was. Um I think I was talking about the halves. I don't think I've got too much more to add on the halves. Um, you know, defensively, I thought they were pretty solid. Um, what they have between them. So 40 tackles between them for five misses, so it's you know, it's not too bad. Umthony large's um tackle efficiency here is 73% um with 22 tackles and two miss. That's because I'd assume of the amount of offloads that came off him. So um a low tackle efficiency because he wasn't um you know completing some of those tackles. Um, you know, there would have been a lot of ineffective tackles there just because Bishop Neal was getting the offload away a lot. Um another notification, hopefully again, not too loud. Um, but it says two tri causes here for Antony Large. Uh yeah, I'm not sure because the Alezar Clark went through Iakopo. Um I think he might have been involved in the second Tubal Francis try. I think he might that might have gone through him, and then other than that anyway, I shouldn't shoe too much on it, but yeah, 73.3% tackle efficiency, 22 makes two misses, like two blatant misses. Um the rest would have just been ineffective tackles from Bishop Neal getting at him, and Carter Marika, 18 tackles, three misses, 85.7% tackle efficiency. Um, you know, he was Carter was defensively solid. His kicking game I thought left a little bit to be desired. Um his kicking game is typically better than that. Um, it wasn't terrible by any means, but it certainly wasn't like it wasn't his standard of game. There was a lot of balls that landed on the 30 and the 20. Um, you know, he had one kick that was probably a little bit unlucky. You found grass inside the 10, and I actually thought it was a really good kick when he first put it up, but you know, it just skipped along and and went dead. Sometimes you get the unlucky bounce like that when it's not your day. Um, yeah, I said in the preview I was highly concerned about this starting front row pair in attack. I didn't think they were gonna get many, um, I didn't think they were gonna get the meters required, and like between them, nine runs between them for like less than sixty metres. Like, what do you what do you say about that? It's yeah, it it's you know, it's it's very, very fair criticism. Like they'd the you look at the Queensland forwards, you know, they've had 16 runs between them for 150 metres, the two starting front rolls in Cody Starr and Jackson Coyner. And I said like their first stint was was better, um, and they just gained the ascendancy through that first 20 minutes um and just dominated the middle. Like it if if it wasn't Petrus or Darcy Smith, they weren't making over 10 metres, they weren't breaking tackles, they weren't doing anything. Like it was yeah, it was pretty poor. Thomas Dello, I thought, was very busy. Um him and him and uh Diesel Hagen through the middle there combined for a heap of tackles, they combined for 91 tackles, Thomas Dello and D Diesel Hagen. So very busy through the middle there. You can't critique their games too much. Like I said before, Diesel Hagen. I thought he came up with a few wrong options and attack. Um when he went down that blind side, I was just like head in the hand, sort of stuff, like what are you doing? Um, but you know, there was something on there, he's seen something, it just hasn't come off for him. But if it comes off for him, it's probably good play. But when I was watching it live, I was like, Yeah, what are you doing? And then just throws it back inside. Jackson Coiner again, effort plays, putting yourself in the right position. Just things that Queensland did better consistently throughout the entirety of game. If you know New South Wales had 17 guys that were playing like Jennings, playing like Petra's, playing like Darcy Smith, they go a long way in this game, but they just didn't. Um so yeah, I'll sort of I'll wrap that up there. Um, I haven't got too much more to say, New South Wales-wise. Uh I've sort of commented on pretty much every player there. Um, was there anybody from Queensland of the miss? Liddama only played the first half. He came off. Elijah Berbe came on. Elijah Berv came on, played the second half. I thought he was very good. What was his stats? Nine for 70 metres. Um one tackle break, three tackle zero miss. Well, obviously playing fullback. Um, yeah, he was good in his stin. He looked lively off a couple of offloads. Show of Colonna, I thought was um solid. He had an error. Um, but you know, I thought he was solid apart from that. I think that was actually very early in his sin as well. Talon Tarr, I thought looked dangerous at different uh different points as well. Um, you know, again, creating things off the bench. Um Jet Ryan, I've spoken about him. Um Frank Howarth only played the first 20 minutes, I believe, or first 30 minutes. I thought he was a little bit quiet. Um Kingston Seve was solid. There wasn't really a bad player for Queensland, Taj Lataya as well. I thought he was he did his job. Like Watson was the guy, and Taj Lateo just had to do his job. He he actually Taj Latoya had a moment that I thought pretty much summed up all he needed to do in the one play. Watson went right, it wasn't quite on. Bishop Neal, I think, I think gets another offload. I could safely say Bishop Neal he had six of the things. Um he gets an offload away, gets across to Latoya, and Lato just dinks it into the corner, puts it inside ten, and they jam New South Wales up in the corner. Like it was just um a moment like that just pretty much summed up all he had to do. And you know, he he had you know five runs for 40, solid, 26 tackles defensively was sound, no try causes. Just did his job and they won the game off the back of that. Um so yeah, I don't think there's anybody else I've missed. Yeah, um good performance from Queensland, New South Wales, left a little bit to be desired, but again, like I said in the preview, I think I think the Queensland team was just better, and they proved to be that on the day. So anyway, um we'll wrap it up there. Make sure you go follow all my socials if you aren't already. Um, if you're podcast listener, go over to YouTube, subscribe on there. Um, and if you're watching on YouTube, go over and leave a review on the podcast, hopefully five stars. Um, or if you know if you're not following on my socials, Instagram, TikTok, all that sort of stuff. But anyways, um we'll see you on the next one. Hopefully, next time I speak, or um, hopefully the next time I speak and Origin's been on, it's not after another Queensland win because I'm so sick of seeing these two headed dogs win everything. Um three wins in the last 24 hours for them. Um and I have grave concerns over game three. Can we get an interim coach in for just for game three? I'd like that. Um, but anyway, see you're on the next one.
