Now, that scrum play, that's a relic from the 80s.

Those scrum plays used to get – yeah, we saw that in the 2016 grand final with Cronulla and Ben Barber, remember?

Look, it was a different play.

It was a different play, okay, than the 2016.

But they're that old, very few of the modern players have even seen them.

So it's all new to them.

Warren Ryan used to sit there, and one of his great strengths as his coach was he used to go back and look at footy play from 20, 30 years earlier, and he'd pick up little things that they're doing, and he'd think, you know what, that works in today's game.

And so he'd pick that up, and every other team had forgotten about it.
