What happened in the opening ‘Triple Step’ story and why does it matter?
He's established a really unique style of football that is exclusive to that squad. Every time they come up against the very, very best sides, if they decide to play a Diet Waz or a Diet Melbourne or a Diet Penrith, they don't go to New Zealand beat them. Right here on the Cooper and Maddie Johns podcast, right here.
Is it?
How did the Knights defeat the Warriors and secure a preliminary‑final spot?
Yeah, Jack just stood on my headphone cord, nearly just broke my neck. Hey uh, Matthew, obviously, we're gonna start with Warriors Nights because it's the most recent game and what a game it was. Uh definitely the game of s uh finals week two. But hey, there's something that our listeners wanted me to bring up with you today because they were very happy with it. You actually probably aren't aware of what was posted by the NRL. They posted a video. throwing back to the a a a famous game between the Warriors and the Knights, must have been in like in the nineties 'cause you and Joey were playing. But two weeks ago you spoke about the triple step. Now you told people about you know you you analyzed the best one that you ever did was against North Sydney on a bloke name.
Was it Jason Taylor? No, it was a Gary Larson.
What were the key tactical takeaways from the Knights vs Warriors match?
Gary Larson. Yeah, not even a lot of people. Nah. But uh they posted a video of you and the people that there's a great front-on angle, and it's it is a great triple step.
Ah, the triple step. Ah, that was in 1996 against uh the Warriors in uh over in New Zealand, yeah. Uh interesting little link to uh Eden Park the day before that game. We went on the Friday Um on the on the Sunday we played the Warriors and on the Saturday Joey and I went to Eden Park to watch the Super Ten final. So um the Auckland Blues beat the Natal Sharks.

Joan Alamo scored three tries. What? They absolutely yeah, they smashed Natal.
How did the Roosters dominate the Sharks and what made the win possible?
But the Natal he but he he's a bit of a story for people on a bit of a laugh out and I suppose how much things have changed in professional sport. It was really quite outrageous for even that time in ninety six. We turn up so as I said before, we're playing the Warriors on the Sunday in New Zealand. We turn up at the hotel on the Friday, we walk in, and the Natal Sharks super rugby team, well full of all Springbok players, like all star team, they're at the bar, they're playing the next day in the super ten final. Drinking. Absolutely maggot. What? The the captain, the springbok captain, Gary Teichman. Mate, he was he he he was on the ground and they he had his pants around his ankles that like just passed out and they put his mate.
They were all they were maggot, they were blind. And then they gave us tickets to go to the game the next day. They got beat by 50, right? Then they came to our game, watched us beat the Warriors, and then we're like, um Sunday. So right up, boys, come on, let's get let's go out.
What cultural and tactical changes has Justin Holbrook brought to the Knights?
Let's hit the town. And they're like, Oh, Mr. Matthew, it's uh Sunday, it's it's uh it's the Lord's Day, we don't drink on the Sunday. I said What the fuck are you talking about? I said you drank the night before like the you drank the day before basically your grand final. They went, Yes, because it was a Friday.
Sunday
we don't drink. No. I know. So there's only one that did. There's only one that did. And um on the Sunday the drink he came out with Joey and Ice, a fella called James Small. If you watch the movie Invictus, he's the guy who marked Jonah in the World Cup for the Oh yeah yeah, the winger. Yeah, muscle. See,
you know, we had a beer with the guy that marked Jonah Lurmu in Invictus. Yeah, I suspect Yeah, I still I used to
speak to him quite a bit. So the the story, what he'd always bump me and go, uh yeah, Maddie, you got you must come to Cape Town. I've got a nightclub on the be on the beach in Camps Bay. You must come. So anyway, I kept going to Trish, we've got to go anyway. A few number of years back, um Trish goes, we go to South Africa and I said, Yeah, we'll go to Cape Town, we'll see uh go see James.
