It's a very different, based off what I know around State of Origin, the people I've spoken to, been in and around the traps for long enough to know that going up to Queensland to win from a New South Wales perspective is going to require something a little bit different here.
Instead of who's in, who's out, is the number one priority for Laurie Daly now to figure out what approach he needs to take in both defence and attack to get the victory, as opposed to just making changes.
It's what type of player and personnel do I require to go get the job done?
step on that field like it's it is not about personnel like I can it is not about personnel but some personnel are better equipped and I my instant reaction to going on away trips and like going into being hated by everyone that
the atmosphere that is going to be generated towards you I think some people really thrive in those situations where everyone's booing you and against you and obviously the physicality the last team to do it New South Wales under Madge Maguire they certainly had a mentality of you get the baseball bats out
And Spencer Lennie was a big part of that, brings that aggression.
He's someone that not only brings it on the field, he's a dangerous individual.
Liam Martin, another one of those dangerous individuals, scary people, violent people that don't mind being public enemy number one.
Now I know Spencer's been out of form.
and a lot of chat about who should be in the middle, who shouldn't, who should be in the forward pack, who shouldn't.
For me, I am, whether Spencer Lenu's in or out of form, I think he comes into consideration because I think the style, or the, sorry, the approach has to be
it's we're coming with an angry on a mission we're going to upset some people ruffle some feathers I think Sam Walker and Cam Munster have had it far too easy in the opening two games and then an attacking style that's going to bring out the best in some of these individual brilliant players
Kez, can you talk to us about being a half and the difference from –
just that aggression focused on you versus playing with that freedom because it does appear like Sam Walker's had a, obviously he's an amazing footballer, I'm not taking that away, but he seems to have had an easier time out than what would be expected.
I know Hudson Young got hold of him.
Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
No, I mean like getting that pressure with the ball.
I don't think he's been put under any pressure.
he's nearly been nearly been perfect for him it's funny that as well because I think Dearden could be back yeah he won't he won't he won't be in that team maybe in the in the 17 or sorry 19 yeah as a cover
Well, let's leave origin alone.
