Subtitles section

Seven thirty Super Saturday on Fox League.

It's the match of the round.

The Storm and the Sharks.

Keep them separated.

Top of the table.

First playing second on the NRL ladder.

And throwing coach Craig Bellamy in against Craig Fitzgibbon.

Bellamy's twenty two seasons equaling greatness at the Storm.

Hey guys, we keep talking about transition.

Get to the position early.

But what's important now is we start ramping the communication and the energy up.

Fitzgibbon, a relative newcomer, with just three years coaching first grade, but already widespread belief across our great game.

What a match up.

The Storm and the Sharks, seven thirty, Super Saturday, right here on Fox League.

Welcome to NRL's Three Sixty Rub League From Every Angle, brought to you by NIB.

Joining me again, James Graham.

Let's bring the journos straight in, Brent Reid and Dave Riccio.

We've got a big show ahead of us and also a big game on Saturday night, at seven thirty p.m.

live and exclusive on Fox League.

Right here, it's the Melbourne Storm taking on the Sharks.

This sets up to be an absolute ripper of a game, Jimmy.

Yeah, it sure does.

First vs second, lots on the line here.

We know Cronulla's tag of they can't seem to beat a top four team.

They couldn't last year.

A lot of pressure on the Sharks going into this weekend's game.

Ready?

Yeah, you're right, Jimmy.

Huge test for the Sharks, I think, because a lot of people sort of call them flat track bullies, and you know, they haven't really beaten a contender, but this is the storm are a contender.

They're a legit contender.

You've got the sense that last week against the St.

George Illawarra Dragons, the Sharks had this one a little high down the road, and they'll be up for it.

It's going to be an absolute cracker.

It is, and we spoke about it last year.

They struggled against those top teams like we've all just mentioned.

Storm, Roosters, Panthers, Eels and Broncos.

That's a fair test and this is going to really tell us exactly, and tell themselves, exactly where they stand in this competition in the year of the shark.

It doesn't get any tougher than that, does it Braedon, over the next five weeks.

Origin during that period as well, they might be affected by origin.

They get a storm side a bit under strength though this week.

They're getting the storm at a good time, I think.

Cronulla got a couple out for this as well guys.

Toby Rudolph's gone for the next four weeks with a knee injury.

We know that Braedon Trindle's not in this team.

He was the starting half for the shark.

They've got their own little chinks as well, Cronulla.

For me, when I'm looking at this game and this next period coming up for the Cronulla Sharks, the most important person is their head coach, Craig Fitzgibbon.

I've been under a number of coaches in my time.

They all like to say they're consistent week in, week out.

but you always get a sense when there's something going on there.

So, you know, a Hasler via Bellamy, a McGregor when we're chasing down the top eight and the top four.

You can get a sense.

So as much as Fitzgibbon played the straight bat in the press conference, this is just another game, nothing to see here.

We're just going to focus on our jobs.

The most important person in this, he knows that it's big, but how does he portray that to his players?

So is there any slight change in emotion?

Has he dialed it up?

Dialed it down?

Because the players, they notice when something's wrong with the boss.

And then they, then therefore that trickles down to them.

So that then sometimes players rise to that occasion.

Sometimes they feel the pressure.

They're aware of the criticism too, and they don't like it.

They don't like that talk that they don't beat top teams.

It's a big job for Fitzy, there's no doubt about that.

But you mentioned that they get Melbourne at a good time.

Pappenhausen injured.

Hughes possibly out.

He's out with his injury.

Farlanga as well.

No, Farlanga's playing.

He's playing.

Where are they at with all of their injuries?

I know you've just mentioned that Pappenhausen out, the other two.

Yeah.

But where are they at with those three?

And even you've got other players injured as well.

Well, you can't overlook Jonah Pezzard because if Jerome Hughes is out, generally Jonah Pezzard comes into the team and Jonah's not available.

So Wishart ends up playing in the halves.

Cam Munster's been moved to seven.

Wishart at six.

I'm looking forward to seeing Farlungo breathe.

I mean, there's been a lot of talk about him.

He's had some injuries himself.

He scored that try last week.

It was unbelievable.

He is an excitement machine.

They've got a challenge down the track keeping all those guys.

I suppose that's for another day, but he is a gun.

They had a pretty spiteful match up, these two sides, last time they met.

There is a bit of a rivalry there.

Do we expect things to heat up a bit?

There is history, because it goes back to the sixteen grand final, right?

Jimmy, you know, Brady, you know, once you play in a grand final against that opposition, it stays for a very long time.

And this has certainly been the case for the Sharks, and you can't ignore the obvious, and that is Nico Hines and Daniel Atkinson.

were both Storm players.

That's where young Atkinson started his career, Nico Cleely.

He's indebted to the Melbourne Storm forever, he always says that.

But he will go down there as a Shark and Shark only to get the job done.

I think the Sharks would get a sense that this Storm team are beatable.

Like look,

I think Melbourne Storm, they've improved from last season.

We've seen in their rook control that has been chalk and cheese compared to this time last season, or very much so at the end of the season.

But if you look at some of their results, they couldn't put the Titans away.

They couldn't put the Bulldogs away at home.

They couldn't put the Warriors away at home.

They struggled in all of those games.

So I think the Sharks will go down there full of confidence, knowing they can get the job done.

It's just the...

emotional toll that this week is going to take and then even Fitzgibbon, hey, we're only doing it one week at a time.

He knows that if they don't get this first one done, the pressure is going to keep coming and building and building.

I think the level of importance, you can't underestimate just how important this game is for the Sharks this weekend.

I agree and it's an important game for Nico Hines.

We all know that it's kind of an audition for Origen every week up until the selection of the team will be.

He's been in great form.

He comes up against Kemron Munster who will be his opponent if he does play Origen for Queensland.

How do we see this?

Where is he in the running at the moment?

Has he got the jersey in his hands?

Have we heard anything from NSW in their camp match at all?

I don't think he's got the jersey in his hands.

I think he's right.

I think he's probably in the top three.

I think there's three, for me there are three going for it.

It's Lewi, Moses, Hines.

I think if Mitch Moses comes back, I think Mitch Moses will be the sixth.

If he comes back next week, plays well the next two weeks after that, for me Moses will be the sixth.

But I think Nicko has put intense pressure on Madge to pick him with the way he's played over the opening two months of the season.

And his next three weeks, you mentioned it again.

If he comes through this next three weeks against the best teams in the comp,

It's hard to knock him back.

He can do no more.

And I will make the case that he's playing better football than his Dallium year.

I agree with that.

Yeah.

He's playing with so much more consistency and so much more patience in his game where he's not playing the big moments every time.

He's playing the long game.

You'll see him still kicking.

We saw it against South Sydney.

They were still kicking to the corner with six, seven minutes to play.

And they were like at fourteen points ahead.

I see a much more mature Nico Hines than I've ever seen before.

He's a big body, big defensive body in the line.

But again, again, the next few weeks will tell us exactly where he's at.

He was sensational defensively in their first win of the season, which I think is their best win of the season for the Cronulla Sharks, that round one victory over across the ditch playing against the Warriors.

For me, the biggest issue with Niko is the scars of the previous Origen period.

How much is that going to affect him?

I personally thought he was hung up to dry a little bit when it comes to that selection playing him in the centers.

But how much is that going to affect him?

I think it was clear when he made that Origen debut how he suffered in the up and coming weeks after it.

Well, I would say the edginess, I mean, I've been there.

And the scars, they stick.

But he was selected in the centers.

So it wasn't like he played in the halves.

But he took it personally.

He did, but he didn't fail in the halves.

So, he didn't go on there with the game plan as a chief playmaker to lead New South Wales.

He's been thrown into the deep end.

Yeah, it knocked him around.

You're spot on.

It impacted him back at club land.

But if you peel it all back, he didn't quite... He wouldn't hold that mental scar and the damage of actually playing in the halves and not delivering, which a lot of halves do.

A lot of New South Wales halves have over the years.

I reckon he's got to be the sixth or not there at all, Braith.

I don't think you can pick him as a utility on the bench.

I think he's got to be a lot of...

starting five eight or nineteen.

It's going to be a big one.

First, first, second storm taking on the Sharks both in really good form.

Live and exclusive right here Super Saturday.

What are we thinking?

Big challenge for the Sharks, isn't it?

Yeah, I can't wait for this game.

Obviously, Sharks in red hot form, Melbourne in a similar position, but obviously losing Pappenhausen on the weekend, and I think Hughes is in doubt as well.

So obviously, throws the contest into a bit of a mix of how it's going to be, but I think the Sharks, it's a great challenge for them, especially Heinzel, the talk around Origen at the moment, and he's been flying, hasn't he?

He's obviously in red hot form, and it's a good challenge for him against a top two defensive team to sort of stamp his authority.

As a half, Percy, would that be on your mind?

With such a significant game against what will be, if everybody's fit, his counterpart for Queensland?

I think it would have been.

It would have been on my mind.

I think he's obviously got goals to play State of Origin.

He'd be knowing that he's going to keep stepping up his game against all types of competition.

And I think as halves, I know Hines, he'd be thinking the same.

He'd be taking this and relishing in the challenge.

And it's a big game for him to

to game manage against the top side.

It's going to be a big test for him, Woodsy.

I mean, Storm, Roosters, Panthers, Eels, Broncos, next five weeks.

This will really tell us where he's at and where the team's at, right?

Yeah, definitely, Bob.

You look, this time last year, I think it was just after Origin won when he got that probably, what, ten minutes, you know, just before the end of the game.

They went down to Amy Park and played against the Storm and got blown off the park.

And that was probably not the downfall of Nico, but that was when his confidence was at his lowest.

And, you know, as a side where the Sharks are, there's been a lot of talk.

They've had an easy draw.

You know, they've had games that they should be winning.

This is your test.

Like, this is Melbourne Storm in Melbourne.

Like, this is, they're flying.

Obviously, PC said that, you know, Hughes, question mark over him.

Pappenhaus is definitely out.

And there's a question mark over Falongo.

But there's no harder task in NRL than going down to Melbourne and taking on, you know, the likes of Cameron Munster at their own home ground.

Who would you two pick for the six right now for the Blues?

I had a smokey a few weeks ago before South sort of started to go down, and it was a bit of a curveball, but I said Jack Whiten.

Purely because I love him as a player and the size of him, and he's been there and done that, and he's stood up in those big games.

Obviously with the form slump with South, I've sort of changed my mind.

I'd sort of go probably Mitch Moses.

I just think, you know, Nico's playing really well at the moment, he's had a couple of good years, but obviously Mitch has been a solid player for a long time, a very elite half, and I think him and Nathan would complement each other.

Yeah, I'd go Mitch as well.

It just depends how he comes back from injury.

Obviously, he's got the broken foot at the moment.

I think he's aiming to get back a couple of weeks before the Origin.

Hopefully, he can get back on the field.

But then, honestly, if he can't get back and he's not in the right frame of mind or his body's not in the right shape, I'd just go to Nathan Cleary and say, who would you like to partner with?

The side for me revolves around Nathan.

He's the main man.

I know Tedesco's our captain.

There's a bit of a question mark over him at the moment.

But the one certainty in the New South Wales team is Nathan Cleary.

Well, he'd pick Leroy, wouldn't he?

Well, I don't know.

You'd probably think that, yeah.

It's got to be the style of footy they play too.

I mean, it's like...

Joey back in the day, Thurstow, they're the number one player in the team and in origin.

And you need those combos straight away because you only got three games.

You can't start off behind the eight ball.

You need to be straight in there ready to go.

I think Mitch suits Nathan's role if you're going to play that sort of Penrith style.

You can play those short sides well.

There's two option kickers there.

He probably suits...

He'd be able to adapt to Nathan's game, I reckon, better than probably Nico maybe.

As good as Nico is.

I reckon what they learnt from Origin One last year, they tried to play like Penrith.

That's right, I was about to say.

Whereas they tried to hide Tedesco on one side of the ruck, Luai the other and let Nathan roam.

I reckon they learnt the lesson in Game Three.

They looked a lot more open.

Mitch Moses probably had his best game to date with the Origin.

They get the win.

So I think that's what you've got to take into account as well.

They changed their style for Game Three.

I was getting pressured too.

They were jamming the edges and they had no time to get any space because they knew it was going to be a two pass every time.

We all know, the ruck is completely different.

You get away with a fair bit and the ruck origin is a bit slower.

The line speed is ridiculous.

It's not like Club Footy where the refs are going to play six again or give a penalty straight away.

If they make that selection about an all Pemrith feel, you know, back to Origin Three, they had Ivan Cleary in the box as well.

So maybe that message of we can't play like we do on a week to week basis coming from him was more powerful.

So that'll be interesting to see how that pans out.
