  • Why different?
  • What's going to be different though with Madge?
  • I mean every coach comes in and wants change or wants to set their own precedence and culture and what's Madge going to bring that others haven't?
  • And are you confident?
  • And he will do a good job.
  • Look, in all my discussions with former Origen coaches, New South Wales and Queensland both, you know, you talk about Phil Goode, Wayne Bennett, Ricky Stewart, Mal Meninga, they all talk about the same thing.
  • You've got to get the team right.
  • Ninety percent of winning an Origen series is getting the team right.
  • Getting the right players in the positions they need to be playing.
  • And that was something, you know, to be fair to Brad Filler, that's just one thing he cocked up year after year.
  • He was continually changing, he'd pick his team for game one, he'd make three or four changes for game two, and then he'd make three or four changes for game three.
  • If you look at those teams that win series, they generally only are making changes under necessity, generally it's only an injury or a suspension.
  • There's very few changes made throughout a series based on form.
  • Now, what that shows is, and this is, again, one of the reasons we would argue with Brad Fitlum and he'd get upset with us, is because when you would put out his team,
  • First thing I do as a journal, and I'm sure you guys would do it as well, is you ring coaches around the game and you say, tell us what the plan is.
  • How are they thinking here?
  • What are they looking at doing?
  • And a lot of times they'll be like, mate, I don't know.
  • If you're playing this sort of game, then why have you picked this guy?
  • If you're playing this sort of game, then why have you picked this guy?
  • And that would then fulfil that...
  • destiny over the series as blokes will be chopped and changed and in and out and there was no clear plan about how they were going to beat Queensland from a New South Wales point of view.
  • Just on that, Kenty's right where in the past week Michael Maguire has already started the process of what do we want to look like
  • as a team.
  • He's been gathering the playmakers, and they're all candidates at this point in time, except with the exemption being Nathan Cleary.
  • Last Tuesday night, New South Wales headquarters, the likes of Trebojevic, Tedesco, Nico Hines, Mitchell Moses, the Penrith boys weren't there.
  • They're on a bye week.
  • The South boys decided not to go due to the current form of the club.
  • However, Michael Maguire is already working on the game plan.
  • So he's already coming up with what is required to beat this Queensland side with those players that may be needed.
  • Yeah, he can only really work on the game plan in mind of the player he's going to select or the type of player he's going to select.
  • Let me tell you something about that though, Braith.
  • I remember talking to an assistant coach some years back and I was talking to him and I said, what are you doing now?
  • He said, I'm just putting some notes together.
  • It was actually for the Queensland game plan.
  • And I said, gee, that's a long way away.
  • They haven't even picked a team yet.
  • What would you be doing that for?
  • And he said, mate, to be honest with you, he said, the Origin game plans aren't that complex.
  • And you know this better than any of us.
  • They're not that complex.
  • Origin is won by a very direct style of football and just a couple of little flourishes here and there, but they're not...
  • My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, is they're far less complicated than a normal NRL week to week game plan because it's all about just basically playing, getting over the advantage line, playing direct and trying to make the most when you've got momentum and trying to absorb it when you haven't got momentum.
  • It's not that complex and that's why I think Michael McGuire, that's why it comes down to picking the right characters in your team.
  • I think that's going to be a strength of his though because... I do too.
  • I think he won't worry about the outside noise or...
  • you know, the flamboyant players or the player that maybe stand out to the fan, he'll pick the player that he wants, that he sees as a New South Wales origin player.
  • And he's got that because he's so tough in the way that he coaches and he's so relentless and he expects that from his players.
  • I mean I see him at the gym every morning.
  • The guy trains like a beast.
  • He naturally lives and breathes it himself.
  • So I think he would already be looking for those players.
  • Players like Victor Radley to be honest with you.
  • Players like that to fit into that squad.
  • So I think he's going to do a good job.
  • We do have high standards, Braith, and I think those standards in the last couple of years at the New South Wales camp have slipped.
  • I think we saw that.
  • I think we saw the standards slip within the organisation.
  • How did they slip?
  • How did the standards slip?
  • Well, I just think the discipline slipped.
  • I think, as Kenny said, they got the team wrong a couple of times.
  • And you said the discipline slipped.
  • How did the discipline slip?
  • Well, I just don't think they played well, Braith.
  • And I think that emanates from, you know, they obviously haven't prepared well by the looks of it, from what I saw.
  • That's just from our sort of looking and my impression was that the standards were higher in the Queensland camp the last couple of years.
  • There was a period in the series last year where Tevita Pangai was controversially picked.
  • A lot of people thought, again, he didn't have that mental sort of origin approach to the game.
  • Well, he wasn't even playing that well.
  • He wasn't playing that well and he's never sort of, while his talent is undisputed, his mental approach to the game has been questioned.
  • And there was a period during the game where he was looking to the bench and he was signalling to come off.
  • And Queensland had the ball, we're heading downfield.
  • Now, that immediately, for most Origin coaches, that is a red light.
  • Is that a true story?
  • I just made it up.
  • It's a dramatic effect.
  • What do you think?
  • Relax, mate.
  • But that's the point.
  • That's unheard of in Origin.
  • That's my point.
  • And New South Wales has allowed that sort of...
  • Fragility to slip into their game plan at different times, into their performance at different times.
  • And that's what's going to change.
  • Walking barefoot on the grass is not going to make you play better at origin.
  • It's just not going to help you.
  • It all stems from getting the selections right, though, Kent.
  • That's what I said.
  • They're bringing in the wrong people.
  • That's the habit of doing the last couple of years.
  • They got it right the first year or two, then they just...
  • kept making blunders at the selection table and it seeped into the team and they lost the issue.
  • And the players lost faith in that too, Reedy.
  • A lot of players were losing faith in the way they were treated.
  • You look at the way some of the players are treated when they're in the squad.
  • Poor old Nick Owens, it was shameful the way he was treated.
  • He sat there last year, he was picked on the bench, he got thrown on a centre with eight minutes to go or whatever it was.
  • Two tries go through, Cameron Munster spots him straight away.
  • Now, forget the fact they got the interchange wrong last year.
  • When Tom Trvojevic went off with that second HIA in the game, that qualified Steven Crichton to come on as only its man of play.
  • The best defensive centre in the game.
  • The coaches box didn't recognise that.
  • What they did, they sent Niko Hines on instead.
  • The one position he hasn't played in the back lines of centre, they went in on the defended centre.
  • Munster spots it, goes through him twice, scores two tries, scores and they come from behind and win the game.
  • And then,
  • Hines has made the scapegoat for the loss, which was shameful that they did that.
  • All right.
  • Now, this year, selections, five eight, who do they go with?
  • You mentioned you're saying they blundered selections last year.
  • Who do they go with in the number six?
  • Well, I think it's probably like Queensland, because they've got real stability in the spine.
  • And there's a lot of question marks over the new survive spine.
  • I mean, I would have said Mitchell Moses, but he mightn't come back until a week or two before the team's picked.
  • I think Nicko is probably the best option.
  • I'll be going to Jack White and asking him.
  • Well, if Jack Wharton be available though, Kenty.
  • What happens if Jack says no?
  • Well, I still think it's worth a question.
  • Yeah, Kenty, I'd still love Jack Wharton to come out and say, pick me, Madge.
  • I'm ready to play Origin for you.
  • I haven't heard that.
  • I haven't heard that.
  • Has Madge not spoken to Jack at all?
  • Madge has.
  • Madge has, but Jack put it on the back burner.
  • Said, Madge, I've got to focus on Souths first.
  • Haven't played a game yet for this club.
  • That probably hasn't helped the form of Souths.
  • Well, look at the current form.
  • And so how does Madge view picking Souths players at this point in time?
  • To Rudy's point on what...
  • Wyton's one of the few South players that you could walk away and actually be impressed with how he's played.
  • How desperate is that though?
  • You've got to go to some bloke who's retired.
  • Surely there's options out there you can go to before you go to the guys you talk to.
  • It's got a little bit of desperation about it.
  • He's not desperate.
  • Jack Wyton's not desperate.
  • He's an Origin player.
  • He's retired, mate.
  • He's not an Origin player.
  • Or did he retire because he was burned by the previous Origin decarbonation?
  • I don't know.
  • You'd have to ask Jack.
  • Did he say that he would never come back?
  • I can't remember his last comments on a break.
  • I understand, he's definitely open to it.
  • But it says something that would go to a break.
  • But I just still want to hear it from him.
  • Don't you think?
  • I don't think it's desperation, because Jackson, he's even been, in a team that's been struggling, he's been one of the better ones.
  • If you like a guy, you say it to him.
  • If you like a guy and you have...
  • determine that he's your guy, you say to him, Jack I'll pick you, but you've got to come out and declare you want to play.
  • But I'll pick you when you do.
  • I mean Queensland have gone and got played, I mean Alfie come back from the... It was a long time ago.
  • Yeah but what do you mean all of a sudden it's desperate for New Zealand, it wasn't desperate for you man.
  • It was desperate for Queensland back then.
  • That's why we're the underdogs this year.
  • New South Wales are the underdogs.
  • That's why.
  • What about Leroy?
  • Is he a chance?
  • He's always in the frame.
  • But I think game three showed that the Blues can move on there.
  • They can move on.
  • I think Nico Hines is a big body guy.
  • He's a big man who shows all the skill set.
  • What's he done wrong?
  • He's done nothing wrong to not be in the consideration to walk into this football team.
  • To Reedy's point, I'm a big fan of Mitchell Moser's kicking game, absolutely so important in Origin.
  • But he plays one game.
  • This is on the current return date.
  • It's one game, ironically, against Cody Walker.
  • It's Parramatta versus Souths.
  • One game before Origin team's pick, so that could be a matchup.
  • But I'm with Hines.
  • I think he's ready and willing to go.
  • It is a tough call, probably his biggest call, Madge, because
  • If you want to pick and stick and have a solid halves pairing, I know what it's like.
  • I've been in and out of that bloody Blues team.
  • I like most halves over the past twenty years.
  • And it's unsettling.
  • It knocks the confidence out of you.
  • You want to know that if you're picking the six and seven, they're there for the series.
  • And we say it every year, but it never really happens.
  • So, whoever they go with, they've really got to put trust into that combination.
  • And really, I think you've got to do it sooner rather than later.
  • But that's going to be hard, obviously, given the circumstances with players being injured.
  • Does Luai suit what Michael Maguire is looking for?
  • I mean, you've got Luai there with Cleary.
  • They've got that partnership and that relationship.
  • I'd be happy with Luai on the team.
  • I think Luai is a great player and he's been there before.
  • Give him what Michael Maguire is also trying to build on.
  • I think he'd pick Jack Whiting over Luai every day of the week.
  • I think he would.
  • I think Jack Whiting is exactly what...
  • Michael Moore Dwyer stands for.
  • Look at you sitting there smiling.
  • I'm just enjoying the chat, boys.
  • Yeah.
  • All right.
  • Read.
  • You can smell the desperation.
