Why is Nathan Cleary’s injury situation a growing concern for the Panthers?
Friflame Footy lives on Lister, thanks to McDonald's and Rheam Hot Water. The NRL finals are on Triple M. And we've got all the DOS behind-the-scenes news on and off the field from press conferences to inside the locker rooms. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily Finals Edition.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily here on your Monday. The finals. We've had week one in the books. It was a cracking weekend of footy and in the house. It's not the Graham Family Trust. We do have James Graham, but Wade Graham is not here today 'cause we've got the great David Ricchio. Good to be here. Doubling
up this week, mate. This is all right, Jam of this Monday gig. Very good. We get to talk about the the weekend of footy. Absolutely.
Not much shoes. Massive shoes. Not much drama. I mean, the Nathan Cleary incident, but what a game that was. Um I've got concerns about how the Roosters back up from that because it it reminded me of the of the efforts of the Canberra Raiders last year. Um and obviously that that game against the the Broncos cost them they were they were so drained and I think the Roosters they were so close and th they'll look at that game and say we had the opportunity to to win that and I looked at the tackle counts of some of their forwards and they're in that the the mid forties and multiple players um have those numbers next to their name. Really important that they they freshen up and and get ready to go again.
Absolutely
You honest you honestly think there's a bit of Deflation. Absolutely de It was interesting. A couple of coaches said to me, uh, when, you know, we were trying to work out top eights, top fours and all that. Uh a couple of coaches who have been in finals before said you're You actually prefer to finish fifth. As a foe as opposed to in the top four. If you get beat week one, you're trying to bounce out of deflation to get up for week two. Whereas fifth You know, fifth's beat and eight. Fifth
or sixth is better uh i in some occasions better than finish third or fourth. You you get that home game. You back yourself to win it. Everybody's feeling good. Everybody's plot you you know, you can sort of plot to to go deep where be careful about going all in and not coming out the other end with a victory. Like you go all in and lose and you start to wonder about w what what the opportunity has uh has has been lost.
The opportunity lost and y the the the there's that feeling that you've missed the week off.
Yes.
We c we could be sitting this morning in a prelim.
I
a
and also hurts w one V four is naturally more intense than five V eight. A hundred percent. It is naturally a more intense game.
Mm.
Just on the turnaround stuff, there's been all this talk online, people whinging about six day turnarounds, which I find a bit confusing 'cause it happens every every week to week in the NRL teams a six day turnaround. Sometimes there's five day turnarounds like well, why is it such a big deal? Precious.
Precious at this time of year. And everyone wants The slimmest of advantages. If it's if it's twenty four hours, that's an advantage. And that's I'm with you, Charlie. Like you're right. By now players know how exactly they're going to feel after six and seven days or five days. But it's all it's all finals stress, I reckon.
Yeah. Uh look, f for me the difference between A a a seven day turnaround and a six day turnaround. N no massive deal, no massive ordeal. Um what you don't want is one team having a an an an eight and the other having a six or or or or something like that. And there's no five day turnarounds in finals. Um So look, I I think I think people are making a much bigger deal than Than than what needs to be.
It was a a good point you made before we got on air around Penrith getting a a Sunday game in round twenty seven and in future would they like would the NRL put them make sure they're on a Friday or something like that in the final game of the season?
Well look, it i it's very hard to predict who's going to finish where. So so let's look at the Newcastle Knights, for example. Uh that they're given a buy in round twenty-seven b because uh I think last year's wooden spooners, unlikely to play finals, but they shocked the world uh and they did.
