Happy October 2nd!

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_07]: The club that was formed in 1967, they had heartbreak in grand finals in the 70s.

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_07]: They went broke in the 80s, they went broke in the 90s.

[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_07]: They had a gassada scandal two years ago.

[00:00:14] [SPEAKER_07]: Has any club in any country, in any sport had a more arduous journey to its first title for the Cronulla Sharks?

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_07]: SharkCast! SharkCast!

[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Back in the Shire, tell you watch live time because we're coming over to the trophy.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey there, welcome to SharkCast podcast dedicated to the greatest sporting club in the history of the world.

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Happy October 2nd, it is the most glorious of days every year since 2016.

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course a day we look back on fondly with just the utmost pride and gratitude

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and of course a day that we dream about what may be in the years ahead.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_01]: As was spoken about on last night's episode with Josh Bowling, go listen if you haven't please.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: We usually do an annual October 2 episode traditionally speaking to someone from the club,

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_01]: someone who had great intel and experience within the camp that experienced that great day

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: more than any of us did in reference to the club itself.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately this year we haven't gotten to that complete apologies.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We will get back to it next year, that's a guarantee.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But until then we're going to play the ABC broadcast of the game.

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully the legal world does not bring down the episode off various platforms.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We will acknowledge that ABC own all the rights to it.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is our way of saying thanks for another great year.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got more episodes coming shortly and throughout spring and summer.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And is it spring right now? Yeah.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And we just really appreciate everything that you guys and girls do for our show.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So October 2, gratitude, enjoy the broadcast and we'll be back with more episodes when we can.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Until then, up up happy October 2.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Good evening to you for those just joining us.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_14]: Welcome to ABC Grandstand Rugby League, our coverage of the 2016 National Rugby League Grand Final.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_14]: I'm Andrew Moore alongside Matthew Elliott as we stand here for Advanced Australia Fair

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_14]: ahead of the 2016 National Rugby League Grand Final.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Well we've had the curtain raises, the under 20s of the state championship.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_14]: We've had the pregame entertainment with Richie Sambour and Keith Urban.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_14]: We've had the national anthem and now let's get to the footy.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_14]: As Cranulla and Melbourne line up, this is a good sportsmanship act

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_14]: as the players walk alongside each other shaking hands which is nice to see before the kickoff.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_14]: And we saw a great game of footy last year to side the Premiership North Queensland

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_14]: defeating Brisbane.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Enormous respect between the two clubs.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_14]: We've gone on to seeing them this year and I think this is a nice thing to see as we get into the Grand Final.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_13]: I do like it Andrew.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_13]: They just showed some footy from last year's Grand Final just before they went into the entertainment there.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_13]: I've got to say the blood absolutely drained away from my face.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_13]: I've just sent a chiver down my spine watching it.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_13]: I'm looking forward to the same experience during this game.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_13]: It's going to be a fantastic competition and a contest.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_13]: I'll tell you what, they won't be shaking each other's hands in about five minutes' time.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_13]: They'll be absolutely rattling on each other's bones.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Good luck to supporters of both clubs, the Cronulla Sharks defending the Southern End of the Olympic Stadium.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_14]: And the Melbourne Storm at the Northern End it will be Cronulla the kickoff.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_14]: It will be the Melbourne Storm, purple pride to get first use of the footy.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_14]: And as we mentioned earlier, the majority of those Melbourne Storm supporters that are here

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_14]: are located at the Southern End.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_14]: They're heavily outnumbered but they are well represented in purple.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_14]: They do stand out and it's nice to see them.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_14]: So many of them have made the trek from Melbourne to Sydney for this Grand Final.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_14]: The ball being placed and we're about to get underway here.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_14]: The roar of the crowd.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_14]: James Maloney to get us underway, the 2016 Grand Final.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Here we go! And Maloney puts boot to ball,

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_14]: sent fielded by Blake Green.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_14]: He gives it away to Jesse Bromwich and he's bashed to the ground.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Backwards about five metres.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_14]: That's the way this one starts.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_14]: He'll plant a metre out from his own line.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Comes away to George McLean, got a high shot from Ennis.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Penley straight away, way too high Michael Ennis.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_14]: Penley to Melbourne, six outs from their own line.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_14]: After 25 seconds of play, Ennis was in there and he hit him right on the chinny chin chin.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_13]: You'll get a couple of weeks without Andrew.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_13]: Oh hang on.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_13]: I don't think it'll matter.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, just joking.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_13]: But Andrew what you'll see here again,

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_13]: you've seen how the Cronulla sharks front load their energy in those first three tackles.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_13]: They would have been disappointed with conceding that penalty

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_13]: because the first one they'd driven Jesse Bromwich two metres from his tri-line.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_14]: So now the tap here from Melbourne, 30 outs from their own line.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith he gives the pass away.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Heavy, heavy tackle coming in now on Harris.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_14]: 15 should have half way.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_14]: There's two balls on the field, it's all happening.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_14]: And now we'll see Harris play it.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_14]: 35 out from his own line.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_14]: 11 in from touch, Easternside.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Play to Cameron Smith, gives it away to Dalfernook and charges into Pryor

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_14]: and for Fyder and also coming in there with Luke Lewis.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_14]: 12 metres should have half way and Jack Bird for a shove as well.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Now Smith works the ball right with a cut out to Jordan McLean.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis goes down low and he's taken with support over the top,

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_14]: headed up by Wade Graham, four should have half way.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith sends it left to Jesse Bromwich.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Good tackle by Pryor.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Two metres in Prenulla territory, Sitterfield no score after a minute and 20 seconds.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Now Smith sends it right to Cronk, then away to Kevin Frock to first touch

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's drilled, good tackle Maloney.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_14]: Eight metres in Prenulla, half 15 in from touch, Westernside last tackle.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_14]: Short side to Croupe at Cronk.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Stab kicked down to the south-western corner and goes over the touch line.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_14]: Benny Barber wanted no truck with that.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_14]: The kick-fine starts just inside the 10, so 10 metres from feet for Cronk.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 metres in from the Western touch line, southern end of the ground.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Almost two minutes gone, no score and Cronk is about to get their first touch.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_13]: I'd like to track that strategy just for a little while, Andrew,

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_13]: whether to see the Melbourne Storm do fine touch on last place.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_13]: What that does do is it gives it that really solid defence of theirs,

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_13]: the chance to get some structure about it

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_13]: but also negates the backfield, Ben Barber and those two dynamic wingers from the Cronk.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronk playing for its first ever Premier Ship win after joining the competition in 1967.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne going for their third legitimate Premier Ship win

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_14]: as the Sharks have it 10 out from their own line, in a sadummy half.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_14]: A little confused before he offloads to Paul Gallin

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_14]: and the defence swarms upon him, drilled into the deck.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_14]: 16 out from the goal line by Chambers and Proctor, played to Wieners.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_14]: They turn it away on the short side of Ricky Letelli

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_14]: and the Cronulla setters wrapped up.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_14]: 28 metres out from his own line, no score on the board, Ennis.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_14]: He works the ball right open side to Gallin, charges into Smith,

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_14]: wrapped up 12 metres short of half way.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_14]: 18 in from the Western touchline, played to Wieners, spins it right open side.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney then away to Big Fefeater, puts the fend on Green past him,

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_14]: chased Blair, wonderful defence to wrestle him down with help from Harris.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_14]: Six metres short of half way, eastern side, last tackle, Cronulla.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Fefeater can't play the ball correctly and wins a penalty.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Last tackle, Penley goes to Cronulla, there first of the GF,

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_14]: four short of half way, 18 in from the eastern touchline, no score, three gone.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, and you know what? The referee got that 100% right.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_13]: I thought that was a tough call.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_13]: The chase player gets his legs in the way, they play the ball for Featers.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_13]: Your favourite player, play the ball, but now Sharks get a penalty.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_13]: 30 metres out, they need to be prepared to play some footy straight off the mark.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_14]: Jack Bird takes the tat, gives it away to Townsend on the mat cry,

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_14]: charges at Smith in over the top Proctor.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_14]: 30 metres out for the Melbourne line instead of Field, Jesse Bromwich there as well.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis works a left at Gallon, short ball away to Fefeater again,

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_14]: dragged with the ground, Jordan McLean.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_14]: 22 out for the Melbourne line with Perva Cronk, Claynado Ennis,

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_14]: darts it right away to Maloney, links up with Townsend, away to Luke Lewis.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Lewis drifts across Field from Blake Green and comes back at him.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Could he get a pass away to Bird? No.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Bird gets a shove in the back for his trouble, 10 out.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Now Townsend, open side left to a stepping drier.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_14]: He's up over the 10 metre line for Nuka and Smith,

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_14]: and there to greet him along too with Jesse Bromwich.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Seven outs for the Melbourne line, Cronk on the attack, Ennis.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Dressed from left to right, then back up to four minutes.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Last tackle for Nuka, Ennis puts in his dad kick into the In-Gull area,

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_14]: picked up by the Melbourne storm, but Chase Blair, shut back in goal.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis forces a line drop out, no score,

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_14]: four minutes, Dweady going down to the touch line, Andrew Wright.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_16]: Well a couple of uncharacteristic errors from both sides in the opening,

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_16]: changes in this match and it's been two-ing and throwing

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_16]: and some big contact in the first five minutes.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_16]: Michael Ennis decided to jump out down the short side.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_16]: They got a little bit unlucky there, the Melbourne storm.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_16]: Chase Blair grabs the ball and gets caught in goal,

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_16]: but this is a massive set-if in the early stages of this game.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_14]: He loves that short kick close to the line, Michael Ennis, doesn't he?

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_13]: Well sometimes it doesn't come off, it did that time

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_13]: and he earns his team a third set in a row,

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_13]: storm under pressure early in this game, Andrew.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith a line drop out, goes 45 metres to Mulaney,

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it away to Andrew for feeder,

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_14]: heads towards the 30, grass cutting tackle from Finnooken.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_14]: 33 out for the Melbourne line, played the ball to Michael Ennis,

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_14]: sends the ball right to Matt Pryger away from Green.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_14]: They're targeting Blake Green in defence here the Sharks

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_14]: and Pryers caught down 19 out by Torhu Harris.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_14]: Green came back at him as well with Jesse Bromwich.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Now it's Townsend, sends it left Mulaney,

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_14]: short ball away to Wade Graham,

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_14]: dropped a desperate tackle, eight metres out with Cronk.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_14]: He'll play at 15 in from the western touch line,

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_14]: northern end Ennis, works the ball right to Gallon,

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_14]: straightens into Finnooken, he's hunting two metres out,

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_14]: the Cronkala skipper.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_14]: The plate next to the uprights to Michael Ennis again,

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_14]: riffs across field left to right to Benny Barber,

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_14]: Barber puts the fend on, then loses the ball behind him

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_14]: and scooped up by Townsend and he's collared over the top

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_14]: a high tackle by Mareeca Correvedi,

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_14]: went back in on him again and shock horror surprise stunned,

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis runs in with a push and a shove.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_14]: The penalty had already gone to Cronkala

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_14]: for a high tackle by Mareeca Correvedi

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_14]: and now Matthew the players need to be separated

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_14]: from both teams inside the 20 metres zone of Melbourne.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, you know, I understand, well you're going to get this result

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_13]: when you've got a high shot there, Andrew, early in the game

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_13]: as we have a look at the replay.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah, it didn't slide up off the ball

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_13]: and another player going to Rugby Union

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_13]: because if he was, he'd be missing a couple of weeks

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_13]: so I could see Andrew for that one,

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_13]: hit him right in the mark McGaugh.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_13]: He won't be able to play Rugby Union next year.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Is that how it happened? I don't know.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_14]: Is that how it worked? No.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_13]: So he's got nothing.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Well anyway, you've got to follow the process.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_13]: Just onto the technical side of things.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_13]: What you want to notice here, Andrew,

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_13]: is the Sharks aren't playing at the back at all

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_13]: so you've seen Ben Barber out in the back of those lead runners

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_13]: every single time so far like we saw early in the game last week

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_13]: both Chad Townsend and James Maloney hitting the lead runner

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_13]: and really asking some big questions.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_14]: So Mareeca Correvedi on rapport for that high tackle.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_14]: James Maloney will take the two from about 14 metres out

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_14]: just to the right of the post

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_14]: and another day might have been sent from the field

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_14]: for that Correvedi. Let's get out of the touch line, Andrew Ryan.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_16]: Yeah it was careless wasn't it?

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_16]: And it was unnecessary but the Sharks have decided to take the two here

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_16]: obviously James Maloney stepping up

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_16]: and just to calm things down here they need to get back into their rhythm

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_16]: and talking to Gibbsy down here.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_16]: A little light breeze in the back of the Sharks is here

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_16]: and it's 21 degrees so quite warm conditions

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_16]: but when I had to walk out on the field pre-game

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_16]: it's such a...the deck is in fine neck tonight.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_16]: It's a real great night to play footy.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_14]: So James Maloney on this beautiful deck has the opportunity

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_14]: to open the scoring in the grand final.

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_14]: 17 metres out, we've had seven minutes of play.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_14]: First points could come quicker in the NRL grand final

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_14]: than it did yesterday in the AFL.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney, second leading points scorer in the NRL this year.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_14]: He moves in, he strikes it, he likes it and he's kicked it.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Points underway here in the NRL decider.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_14]: Seven minutes gone and it's Crenulla 2

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_14]: leading the Melbourne Storm, Mel, the Sharks in the last five minutes

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_14]: have been camped down at the northern end of the ground

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_14]: on the Melbourne line and we've seen two high shots

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_14]: to start this game. One from Michael Ennis

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_14]: that went unpunished apart from a penalty

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_14]: and one from Mareeca Corabetti that sees him put on report

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_14]: and now Melbourne will restart from halfway.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_13]: Out of that a penalty to the Rockhander.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_13]: We haven't got that arm wrestle going at this stage

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_13]: the thing that Melbourne Storm really like to get in.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_13]: Set for set for set.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_14]: So now the kickoff is taken by Maloney.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_14]: He gets it away to Andrew for feeder and he charges there

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_14]: into three defenders.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_14]: Trudding Bidavalu coming off the wing along with Will Chambers

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_14]: 11 out from the Crenulla line, Ennis.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_14]: He sends it right away Graham

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's going to be tackled 16 metres out from his own line.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_14]: The ball will be played to Ennis, gets it away to Matt Pryor,

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_14]: runs into Bromwich and Kevin Proctor

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's caught 29 out from his own line,

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 in from the Western touch line, play to Michael Ennis,

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it away to Paul Gallin.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_14]: He runs there at Kevin, rather tor-hoo Harrison also for Nukin

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_14]: and he'll play the 11-shoot of halfway in it.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Set of field sends the ball right.

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_14]: Heading the ball up Maloney, he beat one tackle, great step

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's dragged to the ground by Green and Harris.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Five metres Melbourne, half last tackle.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend to Stabkick down to Munster

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_14]: and he'll feel that comfortably enough

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_14]: four out from his own line, turns around face

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_14]: of the chase of Lewis Ennis and Bird

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's tackled on his own ten.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Eight and a half minutes gone and it's two points to nil.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla leading Melbourne has corrobed it, great run.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_14]: He's caught 29 metres out from his own goal line,

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_14]: plays it away, comes open side right

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_14]: and it's Chase Blair who runs into the defence

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_14]: of Bird and Fefeater and Gallin 14-shoot of halfway.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_14]: Now left to right, Jesse Bromwich on the prowl.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_14]: He gets to it in four of halfway

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_14]: before he's tackled instead of field by Fefeater and Ennis.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith sends it right to Cronk

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_14]: then away to Kevin Proctor.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_14]: One of the hair bears is wrapped up nine metres

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_14]: in Crenulla's half, 11 in from the Western touch line

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle, Melbourne down two nil.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith gets it to Cronk, high kick in the air.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_14]: Barber underneath at 13 out from his own line,

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_14]: takes it, Munster heads the chase,

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_14]: can he wrestle him to the turf?

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_14]: Barber got away from him, then he gets away from Harris

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_14]: and in the open space, no, he's cut down.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Great tackle, Blake Green, 20 out from the Crenulla line,

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_14]: played it down, said oh, we got the pass away to Holmes.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_14]: He juggled it and he's going to be put

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_14]: to the Grand Valentine homes, 27 out from his own line.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Now it's the other winger.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_14]: Soci Feke who's wrapped up 12 metres short of halfway,

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_14]: sharks two, storm nil, nine and a half gone here

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_14]: as Michael Ennis sends the ball left now to Luke Lewis

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_14]: and Louie who played in the grand final 13 years ago

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_14]: a winning effort for Penrith, he's caught a metre in Melbourne's half.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_14]: Play to Wynnus, sends it right up the feeder, takes on the defence,

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_14]: beat Harris, beat Green over the 40 and an off-futter way to Townsend.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_14]: He hits the deck and knocks the ball on as Bird ends up with it for Crenulla.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Enterprise in play there by Crenulla,

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Andrew Ryan on the touch line but it comes unstuck.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_14]: 30 metres out from the Melbourne line.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_16]: It sure was Andrew, in the opening stage of this game

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_16]: Crenulla looking really dangerous on that edge.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_16]: You spoke about him trying to get a play Green

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_16]: and it's really un-Milbourne luck at the moment.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_16]: They're coming up disjointed in their line

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_16]: and it was a good off-load to Townsend

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_16]: unfortunately couldn't hang on to it.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_16]: Sometimes in these big games you need to hang on to those balls

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_16]: and take any opportunity and any luck you can get.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_13]: 100% Bobcat, he needed to hang on to that for sure mate.

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_13]: That was a lovely inside ball from Feke

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_13]: and they had the cat amongst the pitchers there

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_13]: and the Melbourne storm are just hanging on defensively

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment they've been asked a lot of questions.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_13]: This is a really, really important set for them to come up with

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_13]: a strong finish maybe a ball into touch.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_14]: That's the red button.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_14]: Worked the ball into Crenulla.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_14]: 6 metres into Sharks half, you'll do it too don't worry.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_14]: 2-0 Crenulla, now Smith,

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Sends the ball right to Jordan McLean up over the 40,

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_14]: taken down low by Gallon over the top by Graham.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_14]: 2-0 the Sharks but Melbourne have it now Smith,

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_14]: sends it left, Avan Syde, Jesse Bromwich to Blake Green,

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_14]: then away goes Munster de Blair, takes on Jack Bird,

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_14]: great tackle bird, 19 out from the Crenulla line 5

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_14]: in from the Eastern touchline, last tackle storm.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_14]: Comes away down to Green, Crossfield kick

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_14]: and getting underneath it is so so Feke,

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_14]: he's made her out from his own line, he did very well

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_14]: to stay in the field of play despite the chase

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_14]: from Chambers and also steaming through their Boonevalu.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Now there's a big tackle on gathering from

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Matthew's expression here as it's played by Lateli to Feke

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_14]: and Crenulla pinned down here tackle 3 on their own 10.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_14]: Played to Michael Liddes, then open side right away Graham

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's scored 16 out from his own line, 11 1.5 minutes gone.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla 2, Melbourne's dole nil,

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll play the ball to Ennis, 15 in from the Western touchline,

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_14]: done so slowly, spent her offside.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Feke has tackled 25 out from his own line,

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_14]: great offensive set by Melbourne, last tackle

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla Ennis gets it away to Townsend,

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_14]: kicks it down field not particularly deep,

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_14]: straight down the front of Cameron Munster on the Melbourne 30.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_14]: He heads up over the 40, bang, ran into a Luke Lewis,

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_14]: brick wall, six short of halfway, 2 nil, sharks 12 minutes gone.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_13]: And this is exactly what Melbourne's storm wanted though,

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_13]: to get themselves back in the game.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_13]: Just have a look at the game with Jess that we've just noticed

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_13]: in those last three or four sets, stormed just getting some field position.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_13]: They've now got play free and they're well into the sharks territory.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_13]: 35 metres out, Cameron Smith goes down a short side to Harris.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah and he burst through Lewis, got away from another one.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend, Pry has got him wrapped up in a bear hug.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Jesus, strong man to who Harris

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's finally put to the ground 18 out

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_14]: or rather 28 out from the Crenulla line.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla took a goal line, set a field last tackle, Smith

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_14]: fires it left the green, puts a kick on the toe to the wing of Holmes.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Valentine Holmes picks it up, he's over the 10, beats two,

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_14]: beats Cameron Smith taken now 23 out from his own line by McLean.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_14]: I tell you what Andrew Ryan, that tackle needed to be made on Valentine Holmes.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_16]: It was massive wasn't it?

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_16]: And what about when these guys get the ball in their hands?

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_16]: Holmes, Barba, they look like they're just going to light it up

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_16]: the speed, the crowd just comes alive.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_14]: So here's now Lateli, he's put down two short of halfway,

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 in for the Western, touch line Crenulla with it,

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis flat pass right across the Becky

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_14]: and the sharks left wingers put down nine metres

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_14]: in Melbourne, Sarf by Bromwich, plays it to Ennis,

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_14]: open side right for Fyder, stops and Crofts,

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it to Maloney!

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_14]: He's through again, Lewis back off from behind,

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_14]: half a metre out, play green, somehow stopped him.

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Last tackle, played to Ennis, sends it right,

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend, Crossfield kick,

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_14]: Holmes the ball lost by Corabetti

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_14]: and Mareeca Corabetti's knocked the ball on

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_14]: over the Eastern touch line.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_14]: What about the tackle by Blake Green on Luke Lewis?

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Brunnerly set up by Maloney,

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_14]: he sent Lewis on his way

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_14]: and Blake Green cut him down, what an effort!

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_13]: And Luke Lewis thought he was going to slide in.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_13]: Look how Andrew, there's your poupeteens mate.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_13]: That ball is literally,

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_13]: could not go one blade of grass further.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_13]: Blake Green, what an amazing individual

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_13]: bit of skill execution on Luke Lewis,

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_13]: scoring for all money.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_13]: Luke Lewis did absolutely nothing wrong there.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_13]: It was just a perfect tackle from behind.

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_14]: He actually did a lot right.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_14]: He would have been tempting to try and whack the arm over

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and get penalised for a double movement like Fyder did last week

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_14]: when Ullow wins the scrum.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Turns it on the inside, Barber!

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_14]: He's over then scored for the scrum clock!

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_14]: On the field it needs to be...

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_13]: And then gets an inside ball to Barber, watch this Andrew.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_13]: Because Barber packed into the scrum.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_13]: That is a lovely scrum play.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_14]: That one is a big strain now.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_13]: This is a coach's try Andrew,

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_13]: so Shane Flanagan can take a bow.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_13]: Because if you look at this here,

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_13]: Ben Barber actually packs into the second row.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_13]: So he's on the right side of the second row,

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_13]: you've got Gowen at lock.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_13]: Gowen gets out and runs to his right,

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_13]: shapes to his half that breaks from the scrum,

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_13]: shapes to pass to his right, passes inside to Barber.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_13]: He doesn't need much space, Andrew.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_13]: So you know what happened when he got into space?

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_13]: Through the hole!

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_13]: Right through!

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Andrew, can other sharks have a few tricks up their sleeve tonight?

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_14]: That was executed perfectly!

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_16]: They sure do.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_16]: And we spoke earlier about when Ben Barber and Valentine Holmes

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_16]: get to ball how electric, how fast they look

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_16]: and beautiful little play.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_16]: Melbourne Storm obviously just clocked off there.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_16]: Toru Harris needed to get out.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_16]: But hey, if we ever get a call

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_16]: about a scrum ever again,

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_16]: I'm walking out because

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_16]: how good is it to try

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_16]: off a scrum in a grand final?

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_16]: How good are scrums?

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_14]: I reckon we've seen at least two from scrums

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_14]: in the last 12 months.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_14]: There's an epidemic!

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Here's Milani 21 out, 16 in from the eastern touch line.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_14]: 6-0, Crenulla.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Milani to increase it to 8-0.

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Almost 16 minutes gone.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_14]: He moves any strikes at heading toward the post.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_14]: He likes it. The flags are in the air.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_14]: He's kicked it. Crenulla 8.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne Storm 0, 16 minutes gone in the GF.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_13]: What about the start of the game

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_13]: James Milani's had here?

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_13]: He's made two clean breaks, Andrew

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_13]: and looked dangerous every time he's been carrying the ball.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_13]: The one off-lighted,

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_13]: he hit Graham on his left shoulder

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_13]: really close.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne Storm have not had an opportunity

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_13]: to get in this game. When they do,

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_13]: last time they had a lot of success

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_13]: targeting the inside shoulder of Chad Townsend.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_13]: We saw Chase Blair go through

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_13]: for a couple of tries through that area.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_13]: They have not had one opportunity

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_13]: at all to do that.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_14]: For those who might be unfamiliar,

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_14]: James Milani, the Crenulla 5-8,

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_14]: has earned a living from backing up others.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_14]: He's set up a lot of plays too,

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_14]: but he's an expert at backing up

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_14]: and scoring tries himself.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_14]: But he is creating all the damage

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_14]: at the moment for Crenulla.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_14]: What's the term for that?

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith kicks it off

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_14]: down to the south-western corner

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_14]: taken by Townsend.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Gives it a waiter for Feeder.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_14]: Runs right across Field for Feeder

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's nailed on this occasion by Harris.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_14]: 12 out from his own line.

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_14]: This is the start Crenulla would have been hoping for.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_14]: They don't want to chase Melbourne.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_14]: They want Melbourne to do the chasing

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_14]: and they're going to have to do it.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_14]: Sharks 8-storm nil after only 17 minutes

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_14]: of Dennis sends the ball right

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_14]: and the tackle comes just over the 30

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_14]: with one of the Sharks players now wearing some headgear

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_14]: in Luke Lewis. Comes away to Paul Gallin

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_14]: set a field over the 40.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_14]: He's put down 8 metres short of halfway.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich and Smith combine.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_14]: The ball played to Michael Ennis.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_14]: Shawpall to his left away Graham.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_14]: He's over half way and he's taken by Proctor

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_14]: over the top for Nuken down low.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_14]: 4 metres in Melbourne's territory.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Last tackle short side to Maloney.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_14]: He puts up a high kick flying through his fecking.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_14]: They both get checked on the way through

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_14]: taken calmly by Cameron Munster.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_14]: 9 out from his own line.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_14]: He only gained 3.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_14]: He'll play 12 out from his own line.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_14]: Great chase by Lytellian Graham

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_14]: as now for the Melbourne storm.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_14]: They have it on their own 20 metre line

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_14]: as Vinavalu is put to the ground by Ennis and Pryor.

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_14]: Now comes away to the other wing at Corro Betty.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_14]: Straight past Pryor. Good run by Marike Corro Betty.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_14]: He's on his own 30.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Clay to Smith set a field.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_14]: He works the ball left to Jordan McLean.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_14]: He's up over the 40.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_14]: He's tackled 8 metres short of halfway

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_14]: as Cronulla at the moment taking advantage

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_14]: of 63% possession.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Now down the short side. Will Chambers on the left edge.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_14]: He scored 12 metres inside Cronulla's half.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Last tackle the balls play.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Green back to Cameron Smith.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_14]: He'll put up a high left footer.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Barber coming in to greet it and he'll catch a 12 out from his own line

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_14]: and then he's nailed by Cameron Munster.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Great chase by the Melbourne fullback

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_14]: and Jack Byrd is down in back play

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_14]: and he looks to be in a fair bit of trouble

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_14]: over there on that eastern side of the field.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_14]: I'm not sure exactly what his injury is

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_14]: but he looked very jelly-legged as he tried to get to his feet.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_14]: So we'll keep an eye on that

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_14]: as the sharks have it through Feckie

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's scored 22 out from his own line.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla leading 8-0 after 18 and a half minutes.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis dummy half.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_14]: He sends it away to Fefida up over the 30 he goes.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich there to greet him along too with Harris

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_14]: and he stands in the tackle.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Mid-quarter halfway Cronulla territory

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis works it right to Paul Gallin

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_14]: surging run into Jordan McLean

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_14]: and Torhue Harris again and put on his back.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Three short of halfway. Cronulla with it.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Leading 8-0 last tackle set of field.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis he'll do the clearing kick from dummy half

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_14]: and sends it one bounce straight to Corabetti

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_14]: although he had to reach high for it, Mareeca.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Then he darts across field leading the chases.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney good tackle.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_14]: 22 out from the Melbourne line.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Shark's 8-storm nil 19 gone.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_13]: And just looking I've been focused on

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_13]: Jack Bird there and this is one of the things

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_13]: where people say well why have you got an outside

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_13]: back on the bench in Gerard Bell?

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_13]: Well I can tell you Jack Bird looks

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_13]: highly doubtful to continuing there

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_13]: if he continues and all of these

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_13]: minutes play on.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Paul play on no signal of 6 to go

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_14]: as Harris on half way. Feeds the left to

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_14]: Will Chambers. Chambers has eventually

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_14]: wrestled with a turf by Jack Bird.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_14]: 33 out from the Cronulla goal line.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_14]: The ball played Corabetti fires the pass

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_14]: to his right. It comes away to a green

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_14]: back on the inside of Jesse Bromwich.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_14]: He got a lovely pass away to Chase Blair

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's tackled what? 21 out from the Cronulla

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_14]: line. 10 inch from the Eastern touch line.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Two tackles left here for Melbourne.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_14]: It's with the black green on the open side.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Shubs away from Michael Ennis easily.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Then gives the pass right across the procter.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Spins through Graham.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_14]: Then darts back to the left. Gives it away to

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich. He sends a 100 pass.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_14]: Advances up now for Tallhill. Harris 10

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_14]: out. Takes on Lewis. Keeps it live now

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_14]: back to Blair. Blair under

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Crossfield and straightens and he's

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_14]: going to be caught finally. 9 out

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_14]: from the Cronulla goal line. Michael

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis in the end puts him down.

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_14]: That's the last tackle. Smith away

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_14]: to Kroc. Puts in a stab kick. Barber

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_14]: there! Went through his wickets. Barber

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_14]: gets their first-order on a dead.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_14]: But a moment of concern there for

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla. Barber regathers

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_14]: 19 minutes 30 left first half. Cronulla

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_14]: right Melbourne 0 to the touch line we go

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_16]: Andrew Ryan. Look the Sharks are really

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_16]: fatigued here at the moment. There's many

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_16]: of their players hunched over. Paul Gallum

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_16]: down on the ground at the moment.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_16]: It was a great little kick there and

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_16]: Benny Barber got a bit frantic ran in

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_16]: behind but Jack Byrd, what about

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_16]: his recovery? He was down in all sorts

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_16]: over there and made a couple of key

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_16]: tackles in that set but this is huge

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_16]: the storm. Haven't had much possession

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_16]: in the early stages of this game and this is the

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_14]: kind of footy they love. On the SMS Daniel

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Ricciardo has just won the Malaysian Grand

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Brief. Fantastic result from the Australian.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Thank you for that. Good news.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_14]: So now the restart. Line drop out

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla's first and Milani

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_14]: pumps it down to half way. Oh it's lost by

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Blake Greenwood straight through his hands.

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_14]: He regathers 9-short of halfway

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it away to Jesse Bromich

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_14]: and he really got himself into gear there

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromich. He's tackled 8 metres in

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla's half. 18 minutes 40 left

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_14]: in the first half. 8-0

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_14]: in favour of Cronulla as the first

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_14]: interchange for Melbourne takes place with Tim

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_14]: Glasby on the field. Chris Hines is about to

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_14]: come on the field for Cronulla as Kevin

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Proctor charges over the 30. The

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Sharks fan starting to get into it here

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_14]: as their team has to defend 24 out from

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_14]: their own line. Melbourne with it. Jesse

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromich got it away to Glasby runs in

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_14]: there to prior and Lewis in town's end

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's put down 12 metres out from

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_14]: the Cronulla line. David Smith

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_14]: says an open side right for Nukin. Run around

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_14]: back to Smith. He pops the ball away to

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_14]: Kuvacron. Got away from Maloney and now

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_14]: he straightens and he's wrapped up by Graham

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_14]: 11 hours from the Cronulla goal line. Last tackle

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne blindside. Proctor got it away

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_14]: little stab kick coming in from Munster

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_14]: fielded by Fecchi surrounded by

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Bunavalu and still manages to get

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_14]: into the field of play. Brilliantly done

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_14]: by Sozo Fecchi played to Maloney

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_14]: away to the telly and he's caught 5

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line. What Fecchi

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_13]: does there Andrew is he saves

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_13]: his team doing the third defensive set

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_13]: on their prior line. That's how

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_13]: the storm get you. They build pressure, build

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_13]: pressure. Their normal

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_13]: triscoring play comes on their ninth to

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_13]: tenth tackle when they've had you under that

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_13]: sort of pressure. They were heading in that direction

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_13]: what Fecchi did there is a

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_13]: grand final play to be remembered.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_14]: So now it's prior wrapped up. 21

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line. Four tackles gone

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_14]: for Cronulla. Townsend. He works it

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_14]: right away to Luke Lewis. Charges there at

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromich. In comes Glasby over the top.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 31 out from the Cronulla line. Last tackle

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_14]: for Cronulla. So another very good defensive

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_14]: set from Melbourne. Six nil-charks lead

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_14]: clearing kick from Maloney. It's going to

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_14]: bounce for Cameron Munstrell. Sit up perfectly

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_14]: for him on the charge over the 30. This is great

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_14]: field position for Melbourne.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Munster charged into Maloney.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_14]: He did very well to hold on there with Gallon and

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Fafita support. Four short of halfway.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_14]: So Melbourne reaping the benefit here

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_14]: in terms of field position on the back

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_14]: of a terrific defensive set. They've

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_14]: all played now by Bunavalu. It comes

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_14]: away to Will Chambers on the right edge.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_14]: And he's taken by Graham. 10 metres in

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla's half. It's 8 nil to the sharks.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_14]: 17 minutes left in the first half. The

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_14]: drive to Benny Barber. Two goals from Maloney.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Green is nail balling all by Lewis.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_14]: They tackle Luke Lewis. 38

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_14]: out from the Cronulla goal line. Played to Munster.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_14]: He sends a lifter Harris. Runs into

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennison through him. But he's finished

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_14]: off by Townsend. 26 out from the

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla line. Last tackle, Green.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Stab kick. Barber's back there. Two out from

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_14]: his own line. Takes it. Steps Corro Betty.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Chase Blair won't let him go.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_14]: He'll have to play at 9 out from his own line.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_14]: So just at the moment, Melbourne starting to get

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_14]: back into this in terms of field position

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_14]: and possession. We've had almost

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_14]: 24 minutes of play in the Cronulla ahead.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 nil. But once again here the sharks

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_14]: having to do some hard work. And there's

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_14]: a great run by Valentine. Homes

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_14]: of 15 metres. Plays at 26

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line. DeWenner set away to a

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_14]: rampaging quickly. He's 11 short of

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_14]: halfway. Treble. Smith there.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_14]: Played to Wenners. Sends it left away to

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend. Dummings back on the inside and

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_14]: he's nailed. Two metres short of halfway.

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Good defence coming from Jesse Bromwich

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_14]: and Cameron Smith. Last tackle.

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_14]: Melania on half way. Tries to get the kick

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_14]: over the head of Vinovalu. But Vinovalu

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_14]: will take it very near the western touch line.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Oh! Then he throws a 25 metre

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_14]: pass away to Munster. Innocent

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_14]: Hyington of their degree. He's shoving

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_14]: backwards. 11 out from the Melbourne line.

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 nil sharks. 24 and a half gone.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_13]: Well Andrew, what a titanic struggle we're

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_13]: witnessing here. What we probably haven't done

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_13]: a great job of articulating for our

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_13]: listeners is the actual

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_13]: ferocity of some of the contact we're

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_13]: seeing here and the speed of this

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_13]: game. And already it's starting to take

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_13]: a little bit of a toll on the players as

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew Ryan already alluded to. So

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_13]: we're seeing a lot more one out carries

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_13]: from both these teams than we normally would.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_14]: Jesse Bromwich and McLean are off. Kenny

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich and also

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Gladysbier on for Melbourne who are two

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_14]: metres in Quinella's half. Last tackle.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_14]: They work at left to right. Green across to

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_14]: the Chambers on the last. Takes on the defence

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_14]: of Lateli. Crossfield kick bounces up

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_14]: beautifully for Benny Barber on his own 10.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Tries to out sprint

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Glasgow but he ran across

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Field and is easy meet for the defence.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Good chase by Glasgow and Blair.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 out from the Quinella line. So

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_14]: they've all played to Townsend. Gives it a

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_14]: win out of Valentine's homes and like being hit

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_14]: by a dumping wave, he's

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_14]: put down 15 out from his own line

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_14]: and played to Townsend. He feeds a left

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_14]: away to Soci Fecki. He's coming

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_14]: onto the field. Jason Bacuia in 17 for

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Quinella who's been terrific off the

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_14]: bench for the shots. Ennis, he sends

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball right to Hines and he goes over

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_14]: the 30 into Harris and Glasby and

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_14]: he's scored 14 short of half way.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_14]: 14 minutes 20 left first half.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne's dorm nil and Ennis gets it

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_14]: away Bacuia's first touch right up the

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_14]: centre of the ruck and he's claimed by

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_14]: Kenny Bromwich and Finoucan and Smith

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_14]: a meter short of half way. Ennis,

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll kick it out of dummy half.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_14]: It's a questionable option when you've got

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_14]: Malanian Townsend and taking it

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_14]: beautifully as Corrobetty brings it up

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_14]: over the 20. What pass one, now

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_14]: he's dumped to the ground by

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Bacuia coming through it was.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_13]: What about that contact between

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_13]: the two feet? It was fun wasn't it?

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_14]: It was blue on that right here. Here's

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Nillie a forward pass from Corrobetty

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_14]: to Punevalu. He's tackled 10 short of

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_14]: half way. 8-0 Crenulla, Melbourne with

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_14]: it. Smith, he gets it to his right

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_14]: the chambers, dragged to the ground

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_14]: on half way by Maloney and Bacuia. He'll

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_14]: play it 20 in from the western touch line.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith sends the ball left away to

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_14]: Kenny Bromwich who's just a live wire

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_14]: out there at his court. 10 meters in

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla territory, last tackle. Blake

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Ringo's the aerial route. A high kick to

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_14]: the wing of Holmes coming through his

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_14]: flair. Up they fly. Holmes comes away

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_14]: with it and he'll play it 20 out from

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_14]: his own line for Crenulla. Down to

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_14]: Andrew Ryan on the touch line. Well Matt

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_16]: Elliott spoke about the contact out here

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_16]: and it has been ferocious in the last

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_16]: few minutes as we see Jack Byrd with a

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_16]: massive carry but already

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_16]: where we're seeing some big plays in the

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_16]: game but I think it'll come down to the

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_16]: benches tonight who has the most impact

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_16]: off the bench what they can do for their

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_14]: side. So now for Fita plays it away to

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Bacuia over half way.

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_14]: He's tackled 4 meters in Melbourne territory

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_14]: set afield. It's Crenulla 8-0

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne, 13 minutes left in the first

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_14]: half. Now it's with Hyington. He got

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_14]: straight through Cameron Smith. Now into

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Fadnurken, Glasby and Smith comes at

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_14]: him again. 30 meters out from the

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne storm line, last tackle

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla in his dummy half. Send to let

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney puts up a kick it's going to come

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_14]: down 10 meters out. Funtavale

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_14]: who under it, Fekie knocks it back straight to

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne's Crog who lost it and Crenulla

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_14]: will have six more. Well the same

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_14]: knock on both ways.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_14]: No it's going to be a Crenulla feed 15

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_14]: out from them. Manilva sharks 12

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_14]: and a half left you with Matthew

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Elliott, Andrew Ryan and I'm Andrew Moore

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_14]: as Funtavale went up for it. It was

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_14]: tapped back by so side Fekie and then

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Kirkpatron came away with it as he's

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_14]: tackled the knock the ball on Crenulla

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_14]: come away with it and here's a big

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_14]: opportunity for the sharks. Mattia

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Scrum feed 18 meters out. That's a massive

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_13]: play now. I was just about to say neither

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_13]: side has had the opportunity to play any

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_13]: real genuine 40 Andrew for a little bit

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_13]: because we've been in that exchange

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_13]: it was the next arrow, the next penalty

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_13]: that was going to provide the

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_13]: opportunity and here it is. It comes

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_13]: from the sharks. Perfeita offers Scrum

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_14]: and Vence. Feds away from Green not

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_14]: once but twice but twice. Then he's

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_14]: away from Harris and Perfeita still

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_14]: going. He's trapped nine out. Night

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_14]: man is about that throughout the cricket

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_14]: season. Perfeita will get to his feet

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's struggling here he's got his

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_14]: arm to his back and he's to his feet

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_14]: now. Way comes to Luke Lewis and in

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_14]: front of the post Lewis is caught. Seven

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_14]: meters out for the Melbourne Storm line

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla right on the attack leading

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne 0 11 minutes 20 left first half

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_14]: it's with Townsend he sends a left

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney short balled barber then a

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_14]: waiter to tell he takes on Chambers

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_14]: and help turn straight over the touch line

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_14]: well that wasn't quite as planned for

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla but very very good defence

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_14]: coming across from Will Chambers one of

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_14]: the best defensive setters in the game. He

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_14]: had Kevin Proctor with him and it's going to be a

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne Scrum feed 11 out for their

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_14]: own line sharks 8 store 0 29 minutes

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_13]: gone. That's a disappointing play from

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_13]: the sharks. They shifted to the

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_13]: ball to their left hand side early on

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_13]: I said they were hitting the lead runner

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_13]: every time and how effective was that

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_13]: they need to stick with that formula

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_13]: and then try and get some second phase

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_13]: off their lead runners which is really

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_13]: putting the cat amongst the pitches for the

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_13]: storm. You play like that against the storm

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_13]: their whole defensive structure is built

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_13]: to handle that sort of stuff and they make

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_14]: it look easy. They go

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_13]: and they make it look easy and they

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_13]: straight over the sideline.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne you just I'm just

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_14]: wet all over after that noise here's the

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_14]: storm 11 out from their own line 8

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Nilda sharks lead. I didn't get that excited.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Right instead of further ball played to

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith. He feeds the ball left to

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_14]: Dale Finucan and he's going to be taking

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_14]: 18 out from his own line next time you make

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_14]: that noise give me an umbrella will you.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_14]: That's played to Cameron Smith flat pass

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_14]: right across it goes to Glasby. He's put

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_13]: the long jacket on. He's got caught instead

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_14]: of further scary man. No, no don't do that.

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_14]: He gives it away to Kenny. He promised

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_14]: he'd get a high shot. No. He'll play

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_14]: 14 short a half way. I thought he did

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_13]: and he's staying down. Wake Graham

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_13]: they had a big head class there. Wake

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_13]: Graham is trying to hold his feet but

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_13]: he's got the wobbly boot. He'll be off. Wake

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Graham ran backwards for 20 meters there didn't

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_13]: he? They almost need to give him a head

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_13]: check. Oh

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_14]: yes that was a nasty one between Kenny

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich and Wake Graham. He's trying

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_13]: to hold his feet. He's trying to act tough

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_13]: Wade but I think that it would be

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_13]: very silly of them not to just get him

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_13]: in and get a concussion test done

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_14]: immediately. 10 minutes left first half

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_14]: it's not going to happen. The balls

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_14]: played by Kenny Bromwich they work at

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_14]: left to Glasby set a field taken by

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_14]: the Fafita and Ennis. 5 meters short of

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_14]: half way. Last tackle. Smith out of dummy

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_14]: half a rasp by Ennis but he still gets

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_14]: a very good kick between Barbara and Homes.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Homes let's advance twice now

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_14]: builds it on his own 10 brings it to the 20

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_14]: runs into the defence. Good chase

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_14]: from Feinuken, Green and Blair and

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll play it up to standing in the tackle

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_14]: 23 out from his own line to Townsend.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_14]: Oh horrible pass great hands though

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_14]: to pick it up from Barbara 27 meters

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line so Fefita's

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_14]: off the field now for Cronulla is

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_14]: so imposing in that opening

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_14]: half an hour at a half an hour stand last

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_14]: week against the Cowboys 13 short of

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_14]: half way. Fecky plays it to Ennis

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_14]: he then works the ball right. Hinesen

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_14]: court 4 short of half way. Center of the

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_14]: ground Ennis gets a short pass right

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_14]: to Luke Lewis on the charge stands

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_14]: to the limit to Malone even his court

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_14]: what a great tackle by Brock the 34

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_14]: out. Last tackle and again Michael

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis kicks it. He kicks it straight

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_14]: down to Cameron Munster he feels

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_14]: it brings it over the 10 and he

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_14]: goes to 16 out from his own line for the

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_14]: storm 9 left first half 8-0 shark to

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_14]: the touchline and Rhyme. Well the storm

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_16]: were just hanging on there there's some

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_16]: beautiful play from the sharks their

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_16]: little short passes they're offloading

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_16]: is absolutely cruelling Melbourne storm

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_16]: but they are just hanging on at this

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_14]: stage. Melbourne just outside their

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_14]: own 30 it's played by Corabetti it

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_14]: works right in the world chambers

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_14]: puts a step on but waiting for him

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_14]: as Latelli and Maloney 7 short of

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_14]: half way 10 in from the western

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_14]: touchline 8-0 to Cronulla ball play

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_14]: the Cromps send the left away to Kevin

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Proctor crowd not happy with the play

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball Proctor can't offload because

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_14]: prize all over him like a rash two short

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_14]: of half way as was Bakuya last tackle

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith kicks from dummy half. It's time

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_14]: it's a midfield roost down to Valentine

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Holmes who barely had to move a muscle

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_14]: takes it on his 20 brings it back

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_14]: to Cooper Cronk and will chambers

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_14]: who put him down on the Cronulla 30

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 to the sharks leading the grand final

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_13]: Both Ennis I don't know if you're

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_13]: going to see them but it just looks like

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_13]: the storm are hanging on we know they

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_13]: can do that get themselves back in the

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_13]: game but it's the sharks that are asking

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_13]: all the questions it's the time now

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_13]: that they need to strike just under

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_13]: seven minutes from half time they need

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_13]: to come up with a bit more instructor

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_13]: play they are at the moment by just one

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_14]: out heat ups. 8 meters in Melbourne territory

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_14]: after a good heat up played to winner

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_14]: sensible left away to Matt Pryor

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_14]: takes the mind of the setter and he's

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_14]: got to be over the 30 good run Matt Pryor

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_14]: he's taken 26 out for the Melbourne storm

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_14]: line he made the defence feel the heat

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle Hyington away right

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_14]: to Maloney flat pass to Lewis it's

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_14]: the last tackle they'll be caught 15

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_14]: out change over so Melbourne will get

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_14]: the footy 15 out from their own line

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_14]: seven minutes 18 left in the first half

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_14]: and the sharks leading 8 points to

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Neil Curtis have a 15 spin to try to

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Benny Barber and 2 out of 2 from Maloney. The other

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_13]: little interesting nuance here Andrew is

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_13]: when Fafita came off they sat

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_13]: prior back on so take a TC yet

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_13]: to take the field and when they've changed

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_13]: all their middles at this point as well

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_14]: champion a bit down there too

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_14]: along with Gerrit Biel who we don't

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_14]: expect to see in the second half so

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne now 34 out from their own goal line

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball is played by Vunavalu

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_14]: it comes away right to Glasby

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_14]: he scored 10 short of halfway 8

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_14]: Nilshark's lead inside 7 minutes left

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_14]: first half the ball played Coover Cron

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_14]: goes blindside right to Proctor

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's taken by Bacchia and Maloney

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_14]: 2 meters in canola territory on tackle 4

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_14]: he plays it to Smith spins along past

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_14]: left Kenny Bromwich then a cut out to

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Green cut out of to Munster over the 40

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_14]: put on a step links up with Chase Blair

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_14]: bounced away from Jack Byrd comes back

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_14]: into the defensive Lewis and Townsend

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_14]: and Byrd and he's finally tackled 21

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_14]: out from the Cronulla line 12 in from

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_14]: the Eastern touchline Southern end last

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_14]: tackle Tronk gets the kick as Ennis

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_14]: drills him into the turf Brescia here

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_14]: on feck he takes it in goal 20

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_14]: meter tap here for Cronulla 7 tackled

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_14]: set 6 minutes 10 left first half

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_14]: bait nil Cronulla lead what we see here

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrews the effectiveness of the Cronulla

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_13]: sharks defensive structure

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment we're seeing the storm get

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_13]: their shift plays on a play 4 and that

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_13]: means they have that shift played that it's

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_13]: last tackle they've got to kick then

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_13]: what they normally see from that shift comes

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_13]: on play 3 so they get a double strike

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_14]: at you Cronulla 2 meters in Melbourne

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_14]: South Ennis gets it right to Bacchia

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_14]: got underneath Harris slung to the ground

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_14]: now by Jordan McLean and also in there

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_14]: was Glasby 35 out from the Melbourne line

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis sends the ball left

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Hyington keeps it live Maloney then

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_14]: a pass back for Barbara over the 20 back

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_14]: on the inside of the Kelly Crossfield

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_14]: looks for a way through steps into Smith

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's caught 12 meters out from the

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne line 2 tackles up the sharks

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_14]: leave here leading 8-0 Ennis sends

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_14]: it right to prior right foot steps

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_14]: set afield he goes Cameron Munster

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_14]: in the front line great tackle with

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_14]: help from Kenny Bromwich last tackle

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_14]: 5 out set afield Ennis works the ball

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_14]: right to Hyington charges at the

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_14]: line in short change over was that the

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_14]: last now there is one left

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_14]: so you're playing to tell you what he got closer

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_14]: than I reckon even he thought he was going to get

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis spins it back Maloney

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Crossfield kick for Fecky

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_14]: he dies he looves what's up

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Doc will find out that's him at Matt

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_17]: Chetkin no try just confirm

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_17]: there was knock on first time

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_14]: so it looks like a Fecky knock on

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_14]: before Ricky Letelli grounded

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_14]: it inside the dead ball line and most

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_14]: likely the scorer of main 8-0

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_14]: as you look at it from head on

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_14]: we're getting frame by frame

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Fecky lunges at it

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_14]: so does Vinnevalu coming around

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_13]: Fecky hits it first though Andrew

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_13]: yeah so it'll be a knock on

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_18]: it comes off the arm of the Melbourne storm player

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_18]: and it's knocked forward

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_18]: and then knocked on by the sharks

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_14]: knocked on by Vinnevalu

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_14]: into town send

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_14]: resulting in a Melbourne storm

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_14]: goal line drop out

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_14]: here it comes now there will be no try

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_14]: but I think canola fans will be pleased with the result

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_14]: here so there's no try

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_14]: but they will get

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_14]: 6 tackles at the Melbourne line Andrew

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Ryan Curtis hit a drop out

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_16]: well Vinnevalu did an amazing job

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_16]: he was beat for all money

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_16]: out here Fecky was outside him

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_16]: it was a nice little kick

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_16]: and Vinnevalu got right on his bike

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_16]: managed to just get a hand to it

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_16]: but this in the scream of things

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_16]: is a massive set just under 5 minutes

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_16]: to go in this first half

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_14]: so line drop out for Melbourne

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_14]: 4 minutes 59 left first half

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 to Crenulla

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_14]: and the line drop out will come by the left boot of Cameron Smith

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Jesse Bromwich is back out there for Melbourne

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Kenny Bromwich just went off

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_14]: for the head check

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_14]: so here's the line drop out

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_14]: goes to halfway taken by Maloney

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it away to Pryor

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_14]: he goes from first gear to second to fourth

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's going to be caught 32 meters out

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_14]: from the Melbourne line

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and Jesse Bromwich was in there with Glasby

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_14]: and also Jordan McLean

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll play the ball to Michael Ennis Crenulla with the footy

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_14]: they lead 8 points to nil

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_14]: as they send the ball to the right edge of the Shaggy

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_14]: through Hineson Havett

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_14]: 26 meters out from the Melbourne storm line

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_14]: played to Ennis open side left to Tansen

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_14]: the crag making noise Maloney to Gallon

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_14]: he's over the 20 and captured

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_14]: 17 meters out in fact that's Graham I should say

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_14]: ball played to Maloney

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it away to Matt Pryor

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_14]: and there's that big leap as he approaches the defensive line

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_14]: and the defence holds firm in there

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_14]: with Harris along with Glasby and McLean

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_14]: 3 meters out from the Melbourne line

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis darts it right away to Tansen

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_14]: back on the inside to Lewis

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_14]: Lewis runs across field right to left

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_14]: beat the first man, cut off Lodac Graham

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's tackled by Proctor 8 out from the Melbourne line

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle Crenulla Ennis

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll kick again he's a hog when it comes to kicking Michael Ennis

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_14]: could I tell you what it's proved absolutely brilliant

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_14]: because it's swimming in and jumping over the top of each other

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_14]: but it's going to be

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_14]: because the kick was knocked on from Ennis

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_14]: a Crenulla scrum for he 10 out from the Melbourne line

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_14]: he does get a result with those close kicks

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_14]: don't mean Michael Ennis

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_13]: he's forced the knock on there

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_13]: and I think he may have told the player that

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_13]: he should have caught that and not knocked it on

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_13]: and Storm player

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_13]: Jordan McLean I think took a little bit of a fence

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith had knocked it on too

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_14]: the opposite number

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_13]: and Michael Ennis gave him a little bit of a pat on the back

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_13]: and Jordan McLean just gave him a pat on the back

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_14]: nearly sent him into the Sydney football stadium

[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_14]: it was a pat

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_14]: 30 Ks away

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_16]: it was just a pat

[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_14]: he hit the deck Michael Ennis

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Jordan McLean was having none of it and he ran on the touch line

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_16]: yeah again you spoke about Michael Ennis jumping out

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_16]: and trying to do that kick

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_16]: look it wasn't the great option good result

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_16]: but again just over three minutes

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_16]: to go here the Storm

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_16]: hanging on by a thread

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_16]: another huge step

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_16]: is that buried right on the sideline

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_14]: tell me what that's right it's suffering the effects down there

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_14]: here it comes from the Crenulla scrum

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_14]: when Jack Byrd put the fend on the chase player

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_14]: slides down and he's going to be tackled

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_14]: three minutes left first half

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 to the Sharks and what an opportunity for them right here

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_14]: is Hynton at full speed

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_14]: he's put down 8 outs on the goal line

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_14]: by McLean and Jesse Bromwich

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis awaits

[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_14]: sends it left now way to Townshend

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_14]: then running onto Maloney back on the inside to Wake Graham

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_14]: this Melbourne defence manages

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_14]: to hold firm again

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_14]: 5 meters out from the goal line he'll play the ball to Ennis

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_14]: he sends the ball back on the inside

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_14]: to Bakuya, Glasby is there to greet him

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_14]: along too with Torhu Harris

[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_14]: 2 meters out, Crenulla leading 8-0

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis sends the ball right to Townshend

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it a way to Barber to the 10

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_14]: puts it on the tail, Hymns coming through

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_14]: it's fielded brilliantly out there

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_14]: by Korra with 6 more tackles for Crenulla

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_14]: just over 2 minutes left in the first half

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_14]: and it's 8-0 to the Sharks

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew I don't know if you remember I was talking about

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_13]: the Melbourne Storm when they had field position

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_13]: they weren't shifting the ball until about

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_13]: play 3 or 4 when you see from Sharks

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_13]: they're getting a double shift in most sets

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_13]: so I'd ask a lot of questions, they're playing out the front

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_13]: and as Andrew Ryan talked about

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_13]: a lot of short passing

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_13]: and the change of passing makes it very difficult

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_14]: to ask a lot of questions

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_14]: This is huge for Melbourne to hold on here isn't

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_14]: with what, a minute 40 left, 8-0 already

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_13]: Max one of the most important sets of the half

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_13]: so far Andrew

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Milani takes the line drop out

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_14]: gives it the prior again there's that leap

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_14]: and he manages to get through to Valou

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_14]: running into Jesse Bromwich

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Tim Glasby in a third man emerging as Jordan McLean

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_14]: 28 out for the Melbourne line

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_14]: and Taito Enna sends it right to Townsend

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_14]: holds it up then feeds it on to Hyneson to Barba

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_14]: short ball to Lewis

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Lewis cut through, beats one

[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_14]: then got a pass away wasn't a great pass

[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_14]: well held though by Bird

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 metres out from the Melbourne line

[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 from the Eastern touchline northern end

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_14]: Cranulla spread it open side left to Hyneson

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_14]: he's spinning in the tackle 7 metres out

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_14]: 65 seconds left in the first half

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_14]: the Cranulla in terms of territory

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_14]: dominating and they lead 8-0

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_14]: now comes back to Luke Lewis who darts across field

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_14]: with his patented run and he's tackled

[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_14]: 2 metres out from the goal line by Harris

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_14]: played to Ennis flat pass to Pryon

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_14]: that's a waste of a tackle for Cranulla

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_14]: 2 metres out from the line right in front of the up-rides

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_14]: 45 seconds to go

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle Cranulla Ennis works the ball

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_14]: right to Barba he dummies the kick

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_14]: puts a fend on fleaks it out the back bird

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_14]: set away to Holmes, Holmes throws the ball in desperation

[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_14]: but he's over the touchline

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne storm take a bow

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_14]: that defence is absolutely brilliant

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_14]: 30 seconds to go first half

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Cranulla lead 8-0

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_14]: but if it wasn't for that brilliant covering defence

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_14]: from Melbourne that smothering defence on their own line

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_14]: the scoreboard could look a lot worse for them

[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_13]: absolutely and as you see there

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_13]: features of the Melbourne storm defence

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_13]: as they get underway here with 15 seconds to go

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_13]: in the half

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_13]: the shark's gone the outside of Corabetti

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_13]: but those inside defenders swarm across

[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_13]: drive the winger into touch

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_13]: now with 4 seconds to go

[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_13]: they're going to go in the half time

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_13]: 8 points down

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_13]: Tronk sends it on the inside

[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_14]: a monster he lost the ball in a bone jarring tackle

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_14]: from Cranulla Ennis

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_14]: into the first half

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_14]: dominated by some massive hits in defence

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_14]: some terrific breaks by James Maloney

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and the only drive they go

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_14]: into the Cranulla fullback

[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_14]: has been feeling all these hits down there on the touchline

[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Bobcat Cranulla going into the shed

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_14]: deserved leaders 8 points to 0

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_14]: but Melbourne will be well satisfied only being down by 8

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_16]: there's been some massive

[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_16]: contact hasn't there and you mentioned it

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_16]: look I think those few sets there from the Melbourne storm

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_16]: could go a long way to them

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_16]: winning the game here if

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_16]: Cranulla scores in one of those

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_16]: sets it makes it very difficult

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_16]: but that was a huge effort there from Melbourne

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_14]: gosh it certainly was

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_14]: and you wondered is that take a toll later in the game

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_14]: Matt Elliott have you got a later stat there

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_14]: on the percentage of position

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_13]: it even right up Andrew at the very back end

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_13]: believe it or not so it's up

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_13]: then it shifted back out so it was

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_13]: nearly equal but it ended up being

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_13]: 59 to 41%

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_14]: there you go okay well I guess

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne had that patch didn't they have 8 or 9 minutes

[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_14]: where they were they were they were camped on the Cranulla line

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_14]: but for the most part it's been all Cranulla

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_14]: in terms of field position

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_13]: but Andrew even when Melbourne storm

[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_13]: dominating field position their early plays were

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_13]: very ineffective and that was down to the sharks

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_13]: swarming defence as we know

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_13]: they prioritised those three plays

[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_14]: so for Cranulla try to

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_14]: Ben Barber in the 15th minute

[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_14]: James Maloney two from two he started

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_14]: the game off with a penalty gole after seven minutes

[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Mareeca Corobetti was put on report in the sixth

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_14]: minute for a blatant high tackle

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_14]: on Chad Townsend

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_14]: and we had earlier Michael Ennis

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_14]: in his last game of footy he was put on

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_14]: report for a high tackle on Jordan McLean

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_14]: the penalties in that first half

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_14]: only three of them two to Cranulla

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_14]: one to the Melbourne storm

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_14]: in the under 20s earlier today the Sydney

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Roosters overcame a 22.5

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_14]: time deficit to defeat

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_14]: the minor premiums

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Penra 30 points to 28

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_14]: in the state championship Ilawara

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_14]: capitalised on a 30 points to 0 half time

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_14]: lead to defeat the Burley Bears

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_14]: 54 points to 12 and half time

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_14]: in the decider

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_14]: it's 8-0 in favour of Cranulla

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_14]: you can sit on SMS 0467

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 920-22

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_14]: 0467-920-22

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_14]: just people asking

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_14]: two whether anyone

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_14]: sat down for the national anthem

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_14]: on the field no certainly didn't see that

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_14]: thank goodness after some ridiculous suggestions

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_14]: through the week

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Jaden and John in Newcastle so I love your work

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_14]: fellas look forward to next year thanks for the

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_14]: entertainment this year our pleasure Jaden and

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_14]: John thank you for that as well and Brian

[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_14]: said after the first conversion what about

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_14]: that Maloney's taking the kick from the correct

[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_14]: spot yes good to see that this time around

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_14]: and Tony Archer addressed that through the

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_14]: week in regards to the Cameron Smith

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_14]: conversion last week saying we got it wrong

[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_14]: it was 10 metres in from further

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_14]: out from where it should have been Matt

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_14]: should have had more help from his team of

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_14]: officials that won't be repeated and let's hope

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_14]: that is not the case so half time

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_14]: here at the Olympic Stadium in the

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_14]: 2016 grand final hope you're enjoying

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_14]: it with Matthew Elliott Andrew Ryan

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_14]: and I'm Andrew Moore it's 8-0

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_14]: and we'll be back for the second half

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_14]: shortly in the meantime let's get the latest

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_14]: from the ABC Newsroom

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_14]: well there you go the whole answer to the first half

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 points to 0 Cranulla

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_14]: leading the Melbourne storm for me

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Matt Elliott just listening back to those

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_14]: and reflecting on that first 40 minutes

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_14]: there's no doubt the player of the game

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_14]: is that incredible tri-saving tackle

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_14]: by Blake Green on Luke Lewis

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_13]: yeah mate if we're talking it being 14-0

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_13]: half time you know we're probably

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_13]: thinking the storm I've got to do something

[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_13]: especially get back in the game at 8-0

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_13]: down you have a little bit of a different

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_13]: mindset to it albeit Cranulla

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_13]: have dominated that first 40 minutes

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_13]: make no mistake that scoreboard reflects

[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_13]: their level of domination so there's

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_13]: certainly some things that the storm need to

[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_13]: turn around in the second half what the

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_13]: shark certainly want to focus on is

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_13]: their defensive strategy is working for them

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_13]: particularly the way that they're

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_13]: ripping into the Melbourne storms first three plays

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_13]: as I said during the

[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_13]: core even when Melbourne storm are getting

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_13]: field position Andrew they're not shifting until

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_13]: the fourth play so what you're seeing is a shift

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_13]: for a kick normally

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_13]: what you see from Melbourne they get to that hot spot

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_13]: I call about talk about which is just

[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_13]: either side of the goal post so you get

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_13]: a six four split the opposition defense

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_13]: at six players on one side four

[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_13]: on the other they have a shift

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_13]: and then they have another play ready to go straight away

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_13]: depending on the result of that shift

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_13]: all they're doing at the moment is as they get

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_13]: into the shift and having to kick which

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_13]: means the kick is coming from an edge and not

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_13]: as effective as we normally see

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_14]: I tell you what Andrew Ryan we are seeing

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_14]: a perfect example though

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_14]: for all of that of why Melbourne has

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_14]: by far and away the best defensive record in

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_16]: the NRL this year unbelievable to be honest

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_16]: some of those plays that the sharks put on

[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_16]: those little short balls you mentioned

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_16]: that that Blake Green tackle

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_16]: on Luke Lewis unbelievable

[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_16]: Vunavalu over on Fecki here

[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_16]: just getting a hand of the ball

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_16]: those last pitch plays have been

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_16]: massive and then on the flip side

[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_16]: Fecki getting out of his in goal area

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_16]: when Melbourne were really starting to build some pressure

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_16]: there's been some key moments in this first 40

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_14]: what about this fact

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_14]: the last time Melbourne

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_14]: trailed 8-0 in a grand final

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_14]: they'll beaten 40-0 by Manly

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_14]: in that record breaking scoreline

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_13]: I don't know if I can see that coming Andrew

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_13]: that's for sure but

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_13]: it's been a fantastic performance

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_13]: from the sharks

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_13]: I tell you what I was worried about with the sharks

[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_13]: at one stage but their domination of possession

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_13]: has certainly helped this

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_13]: they threw so much into that

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_13]: first 20 minutes that Andrew Ryan

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_13]: picked it up there were guys starting

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_13]: to fold out there on the field even though

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_13]: 80 minutes play, 80 minute plays

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_13]: we were looking tired

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_13]: Paul Gallant took a break a little earlier than he normally does

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_13]: around that 25 minute mark

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_13]: so that's probably

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_13]: normally 5-6 minutes earlier

[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_13]: than he normally comes off

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_13]: so it's a grand

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_13]: final so there should be any surprise about that either

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_14]: well that stat I just gave you

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_14]: about 8-0 turning into a 40-0 loss

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_14]: turning that around

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne storm in 1999

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_14]: when they defeated some George Ilauora

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_14]: that team was the last

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_14]: team to win a grand final after being

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_14]: held scoreless in the first half

[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_14]: all 5 teams since have lost

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_14]: so there you go it can make stats do anything

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_14]: you like, the bottom line is here

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne's still in this on the back of that defence

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_14]: I'll be interested to see how their attack develops

[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_14]: through this next 40 minutes but they're still in it

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_13]: well you do know

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_13]: one with the coach of the quality of Craig Bellamy

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_13]: and with the players

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_13]: in their team so we talked about the mixture

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_13]: of young and old so that

[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_13]: what they do have the capacity to do the Melbourne storm

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_13]: is to readjust their style of play

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_13]: and they need to do it

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment they're not asking the

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne Sharks any questions other than

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_13]: having guys run really hard

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_13]: you're not going to win a grand final that way by just running hard

[00:54:57] [SPEAKER_13]: you need to actually present

[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_13]: some other options which we have seen

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_13]: a lot from the Melbourne storm this year

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment they haven't been able to execute

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_13]: that at all

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Ralph Tucker also telling me

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_14]: the Melbourne Sharks total Premiership match experience

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_14]: is the most of any any NREL

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_14]: grand final team in history

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_14]: with a total of

[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_14]: 2,742 games played

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_14]: and that's ahead of the Brisbane Bronco side of last year

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_14]: with 2,272

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_14]: and ahead of the 1996

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_14]: Manly Seagal

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_13]: so the Sharks are ahead of the storm

[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_14]: yes in terms of experience

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_14]: games experience

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_13]: wow that's interesting because they've got two 300 game players out there

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_14]: in one time

[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_14]: and there's Cameron Smith's 30th finals game

[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_14]: that's an extraordinary record isn't it

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_14]: 30th finals game

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_14]: fifth grand final at Scuba Cronk Six

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_13]: what we do know Andrew

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_13]: can we just chuck all those out the window

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_13]: I wish you would have referred to the stat sheet

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_13]: that I did for you earlier in the game

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_13]: just chuck them all out the window

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_13]: what we do know is the next 40 minutes

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_13]: is going to be one hell of a contest

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_13]: I don't think the game really got going

[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_13]: in that first half

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_13]: I'll be honest with you

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_13]: there were some really good moments of play

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_13]: but we didn't get into that free flowing game

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_13]: that we were hoping we were going to see

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_13]: let's hope that that really opens up the second half

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_13]: I just want to preface all that

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_13]: what I said is I really enjoyed

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_13]: the contest we saw that first half

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_13]: particularly the content

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_14]: I would have read your stats out

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_14]: that you prepared for me Maddie

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_14]: but it's supposed to be transferred to a floppy disc as we speak

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_14]: so we might be able to get to that later

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_14]: alright Andrew Ryan 8 points to nil here

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_14]: in favour of the Sharks

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_14]: will they be in there thinking

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_14]: we're dominating this at times

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_14]: or are they thinking

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_14]: we should have been ahead by a little more

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_16]: I think they'd be pretty happy with where they're at

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_16]: they haven't looked rattled

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_16]: I think they need to get their kicking game right though

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_16]: and I would assume that Shane Flanagan

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_16]: would be taking that up with Michael Linness

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_16]: we spoke about a pregame

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_16]: I think he's doing too much

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_16]: he's trying to overplay his hand in the kicking department

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_16]: he's got two really good kickers

[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_16]: in Maloney and Townsend

[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_16]: and that's an area if they can

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_16]: improve that

[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_16]: they can go a long way obviously to winning this

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_16]: this game here today

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_16]: from the Melbourne point of view

[00:57:04] [SPEAKER_16]: they'd be just looking to try and get some more time

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_16]: down on the Sharks line

[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_16]: they hardly had many opportunities at all in that first 40

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_14]: well, James Maloney

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Maddie the way he started the game

[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_14]: by taking on the line two breaks

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_14]: that could have led to tries

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_14]: on another day it really

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_14]: started the game explosively didn't it

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_13]: what we saw from him is his famous show

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_13]: and we've heard Bob Cap talk about it

[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne in front of him would have been going

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_13]: watch his dummy, watch his dummy

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_13]: but what he's added to his dummy

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_13]: is a little bit of footwork

[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_13]: and he's really attacked the open space

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_13]: and got through a couple of times

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_13]: my thought for Feeders starting the game was outstanding

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_13]: Luke Lewis has

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_13]: been really involved

[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_13]: in attack as well

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_13]: again let's just talk about that back up play

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_13]: did off Maloney

[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_13]: he was scoring in there's no way he wasn't scoring

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_13]: that's a highlight tackle

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_13]: we've seen Sutler's

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_13]: spectacular tackle of

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_13]: driving someone into touch

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_13]: type burn but what about that

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_13]: you won't get a better tackle than that

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_14]: I guess how often it's repeated depends on the result

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_14]: over the next 40 minutes

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_13]: do you want to borrow my hard drive

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_14]: the half time entertainment

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_14]: does nothing for me here

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_14]: they've gone from the kiss cam to the dance cam

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_14]: can I make this plea Andrew Ryan

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_14]: you know you mix in the big circles

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_14]: can we get kiss cam back

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_14]: dance cam is absolute rubbish

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_16]: yeah I'd rather

[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_16]: there we go they're starting to bring it home now

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_16]: he's having to dig that chance

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_16]: but yeah I'm a big fan of kiss cam

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_14]: oh what would you do

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_14]: if the camera

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_14]: went on you sitting next to Johnny Gibbs

[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_14]: well I'd have to plant one on his cheek

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_14]: fair enough to

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_14]: and then you kiss him

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_14]: would that make you squeak

[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_03]: it might make Gibbsy squeak

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_03]: oh my goodness

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_03]: we go to a whole new level here

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_13]: I was expecting the normal

[00:58:57] [SPEAKER_13]: hesitation moment of silence on air

[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_13]: and saying probably

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_13]: not

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_13]: but there was no hesitation

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_14]: I can't burn on fire ever since you put on that Hawaiian shirt

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_14]: late this morning

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_14]: and says hi Andrew a floppy dish

[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_14]: didn't think there was anyone else who knew that word

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_14]: well yes we don't use them anymore

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_14]: but some of our soulies we remember them

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_14]: it's very simple store must be next to score

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_14]: or it's over says Jacko in Bundy

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_14]: well see we got here

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_14]: hello I reckon Melbourne are doing the

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Roper Dopes says Brian

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_14]: Robert says I hope the

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_14]: NRL 18 comes back next year

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_14]: good on you Robert we hope so too

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_14]: Mick says head high tackles early

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_14]: trying to take advantage of stupid concussion rule

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_14]: after all you won't get set off in the grand final

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_14]: says Mick

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_14]: and Ian says you're still the only

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_14]: station I pick up hate league but love

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_14]: you cool ghost storm someone must have been

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_14]: giving Wally Lewis English lessons says Ian

[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_14]: thank you mate Chris from Wollongong

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_14]: says things go swimmingly for the sharks storm

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_14]: looking weathered after all that defending

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_13]: oh wow we're getting it all

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_14]: so canola first team back for the second

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_14]: half they head to the northern end

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_14]: and I wonder how canola fans are feeling

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_14]: hasn't been the loudest grand final crowd

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_14]: I just wonder how anxious the shark

[01:00:09] [SPEAKER_14]: supporters are out there

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_14]: they have never won a competition

[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_14]: half a century in the making if they do

[01:00:15] [SPEAKER_14]: go on to win it I do wonder how

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_14]: they're feeling mad at half time with

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_14]: their team in front 8-0 because even

[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_14]: another game is far from over they can sniff it

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_14]: they can taste it from here

[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_13]: well if Rory Mcdonnell is your

[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_13]: atypical sharks fan

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_13]: you know that there's going to be a

[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_13]: touch of pessimism in their

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_13]: mentality right now

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_13]: good point but

[01:00:36] [SPEAKER_13]: you know what I've got to

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_13]: you know as you've declared openly

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew it would be so exciting

[01:00:42] [SPEAKER_13]: to see the sharks get away with this

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_13]: but what we do know fact

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_13]: there's that team in purple will not

[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_13]: go away you're going to have to beat

[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_13]: this team they're not going to beat themselves

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment that's exactly

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_13]: what the sharks have done not down to

[01:00:56] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne Storm playing Paul footy

[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_13]: down to sharks strangling the

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_13]: stranglers

[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_00]: 8-0 Grandstand

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_14]: of the canola sharks

[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_14]: it'll be Melbourne to kick off start of the

[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_14]: second half here at the Olympic Stadium

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith to get us under way

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_14]: the crowd draws now

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_14]: everywhere

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_14]: flying through the air here we go to the restart

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_14]: flawed 9 metres short of half way

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 metres from the eastern touchline Ennis works

[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_14]: and a very positive start by the Sharks

[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_13]: absolutely and again that man

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_13]: James Maloney and who puts a beautiful

[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_13]: pass on goodness

[01:04:27] [SPEAKER_13]: I'm just trying to see who that was

[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_13]: it might have been Kenny Bromwich wasn't watching

[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_13]: the ball hit him right in the middle of the back

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_13]: nearly cost his team a dry need to turn

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_13]: around Wade Graham then stayed down

[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_13]: after that shift play from Maloney to the left

[01:04:38] [SPEAKER_13]: hand side when he put the ball

[01:04:40] [SPEAKER_13]: straight across the face of Vinnavalu coming

[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_13]: in to whack Wade Graham

[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_13]: hit Wade Graham missed the ball

[01:04:46] [SPEAKER_14]: so here we go line drop out from Melbourne's Cameron Smith

[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_14]: under pressure again

[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_14]: it sails 43 meters

[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_14]: to James Maloney gives it away to Matt

[01:04:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Pryor Pryor takes it on to the 30 meter line

[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_14]: putting shoulder into the defense

[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_14]: but then agreed him is Jesse

[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich one of three defenders 30

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_14]: meters out 8-0 Crenulla

[01:05:04] [SPEAKER_14]: three and a half gone second half southern end of the ground

[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis he sends the ball right to Townsend

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_14]: he links up with Chris Hanks

[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_14]: charges in and away from Green

[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith is there with Harris to make the tackle

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_14]: you'll get to his feet as well

[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_14]: and play the ball to Michael Ennis

[01:05:18] [SPEAKER_14]: we've got one of the best sporting doctors

[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_14]: in the world listening to us tonight as well

[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_14]: but Gia await him Alani to barber

[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_14]: he sends it on the inside to Ricky Letelli

[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_14]: he's over the 10 and taken 8 meters out

[01:05:28] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 to Crenulla Melbourne holding on for their

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_14]: their life right here Ennis goes the short

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_14]: side charging run coming from

[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_14]: Graham he's 2 meters out from the line

[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_14]: you'll get to his feet and play it

[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_14]: two tackles left the ball on

[01:05:41] [SPEAKER_14]: the ground straight to Melbourne

[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_14]: and the little grubber kick straight to Cameron Munster

[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_14]: tackled by Ennis three out from his own

[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_14]: line 8-0 Sharks to the touch line Andrew Ryan

[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_16]: a massive set again there from the

[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_16]: storm but I tell you what the Sharks are

[01:05:52] [SPEAKER_16]: and we see a penalty off the back

[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_16]: that is a massive couple

[01:05:57] [SPEAKER_16]: of plays there for the Melbourne storm

[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_16]: the Crenulla Sharks have come out flying

[01:06:01] [SPEAKER_16]: in this second half and looked

[01:06:02] [SPEAKER_16]: super dangerous

[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_14]: now Dr Martin Rathory who used to play

[01:06:06] [SPEAKER_14]: for Crenulla he's listening

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_14]: to us off the coast of Turkey with

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_14]: I think it does another as many including

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Greg Malaine who played for Crenulla

[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_14]: and played in the Grand Final for Canterbury

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne winner penalty here very much

[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_14]: a relieving one and they find touch 15

[01:06:20] [SPEAKER_14]: short of halfway Gide dock

[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_14]: here's the tap I was hoping you'd give me

[01:06:24] [SPEAKER_14]: a little more as I put them in there

[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_14]: here's Melbourne with a 10 short of halfway

[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball played by Procter to Smith sends

[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_14]: it left McLean along to Green

[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_14]: he links up there with Munster over

[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_14]: halfway into Townsend he goes and Lewis

[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_14]: 11 metres in Crenulla's half 15

[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_14]: metres in from the Western touch line northern end

[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-0 the Sharks 5-1 second half

[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_14]: Blair dummy half sensible right

[01:06:44] [SPEAKER_14]: across field it goes and the tackle comes

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_14]: now on Harris 32 metres out from

[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_14]: the goal line he plays

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball to Smith run around with Jesse

[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromish Smith still has the ball back on the inside

[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_14]: of Kenny Bromish ball goes the straight

[01:06:56] [SPEAKER_14]: down to his shoulder ricocheted backwards

[01:06:58] [SPEAKER_14]: taken by Jesse Bromish gets away

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_14]: from McLean off loads to Corabetti

[01:07:02] [SPEAKER_14]: he sweeps and face plants and finally

[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_14]: the Crenulla defence catches up

[01:07:06] [SPEAKER_14]: with him 28 metres out now

[01:07:08] [SPEAKER_14]: it's with Cuba Cronk flatball right

[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_14]: to Harris to Munster then away to

[01:07:12] [SPEAKER_14]: Chambers Latelli drags him down

[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_14]: 6-0 two in from the Eastern touch line

[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_14]: northern end last tackle ball

[01:07:18] [SPEAKER_14]: played comes from Vodavallu to Cronk

[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Crossfield kick actually goes backwards

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_14]: for Torhue Harris Townsend wraps him up

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_14]: he basket balls it back

[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_14]: 28 of Jesse Bromish back to Cronk

[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_14]: Crossfield kick fecky cakes

[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_14]: hit the deck they survive Crenulla

[01:07:32] [SPEAKER_14]: 4 out from their own line

[01:07:34] [SPEAKER_14]: 6-1 second half 8-0 to the Sharks

[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_14]: and the desperation states have

[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_14]: lifted a notch or 3 as Crenulla

[01:07:40] [SPEAKER_14]: taken out so they're 10 through the Telle

[01:07:42] [SPEAKER_13]: well Jason Bacouya that he's defensive

[01:07:44] [SPEAKER_13]: play there was fantastic

[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_13]: Andy last week we saw Josh Hodgson

[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_13]: hit Cameron Smith in the arm twice

[01:07:50] [SPEAKER_13]: and just before Serious remember that

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_13]: we saw it again we saw Jason Bacouya

[01:07:54] why out trying to decide it's a foot

[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_14]: Crenulla Sharks and once again there is a push

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_14]: and a shove Andrew Ryan down on the touch line

[01:08:04] [SPEAKER_16]: yeah just trying to get a handle of what happened here

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_16]: fecky is still down on the ground

[01:08:08] [SPEAKER_16]: at the moment and that was big

[01:08:10] [SPEAKER_16]: from the Sharks that defence we often talk

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_16]: about how good they are attacking wise

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_16]: just want to see this replay here

[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_16]: there was three stormed defenders in there

[01:08:18] [SPEAKER_16]: and they flipped fecky over on his back

[01:08:21] [SPEAKER_14]: here is the

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_14]: the ruler the dangerous tackle

[01:08:24] [SPEAKER_14]: it was

[01:08:26] [SPEAKER_14]: I can leave with the penalty I don't think it was worse

[01:08:28] [SPEAKER_14]: than that Matty looking at the replay

[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_13]: yeah and I think fecky will be fine

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_13]: I just again want to finish that point

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_13]: about the pressure the storm got

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_13]: that play to shift we talked about Andrew

[01:08:38] [SPEAKER_13]: and looked like they were going to get into one of their

[01:08:40] [SPEAKER_13]: highly effective sets it was the first

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_13]: on that attack Chad Townsend in this game

[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_13]: effectively

[01:08:45] [SPEAKER_13]: well I said fecky will be fine he gets up

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_13]: and looking quite ginger Andrew

[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_14]: yeah I can see why he's

[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_14]: struggling out there Matt Pryor

[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_14]: meanwhile comes off

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_14]: for the canola Sharks Paul Gallin the skipper

[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_14]: comes back on and fecky will try to work it out

[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_14]: so Penley there the penalty

[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_14]: counts 3-2 to canola

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_14]: and now James Maloney finds touch with a

[01:09:05] [SPEAKER_14]: very good kick on the eastern side of the field

[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_14]: up the half way

[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_14]: now Piggy back here for the Sharks

[01:09:13] [SPEAKER_14]: tap taken by Graham he gives it a cross

[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_14]: field comes back to Gallin and it doesn't look

[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_14]: good for fecky he's really struggling to walk

[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_14]: out there and it looks like Jared Biel will

[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_14]: come on the lucky canola to have an outside

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_14]: back as a replacement here it is now with

[01:09:25] [SPEAKER_14]: Hyington and he gets

[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 meters or so into Melbourne's half

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_14]: with the Sharks leading 8-0 that was a half time

[01:09:31] [SPEAKER_14]: score 7 minutes gone second half

[01:09:33] [SPEAKER_14]: yes Biel on fecky off comes

[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_14]: away now to Bacuia and he's

[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_14]: confronted and put to the ground by that giant

[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Jordan McLean with Cameron Smith 31 out

[01:09:41] [SPEAKER_14]: from the Melbourne line Michael Ennis dummy half

[01:09:43] [SPEAKER_14]: works the ball left away to Hyington on to

[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend inside play the barb over the defense

[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_14]: waits courtesy of Harris he always

[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_14]: he's one of the best

[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_14]: gap pluggers I've ever seen to

[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_14]: Harris 24 out as opposed to a backer

[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_14]: operator here's Gallin Gallin takes them on

[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_14]: right up the center of the Ruck McLean there to

[01:09:58] [SPEAKER_14]: greet him 18 out every time there's a half

[01:10:00] [SPEAKER_14]: a gap Harris is there to shut it down

[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_13]: best gap plugger ever ball play

[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_14]: to Ennis on the last send it right to

[01:10:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend stab kick not a good one straight

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_14]: to Blake Green he dives on the bouncing ball

[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_14]: five out from his own line for Melvin's

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_14]: under all this pressure Melvin still

[01:10:14] [SPEAKER_14]: don't concede points granola lead 8-0

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 gone second half Melvin have it on their

[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_13]: own 10 yeah and who has been a gripping

[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_13]: start to this half I'm oh

[01:10:23] [SPEAKER_13]: what chambers runs into the defensive line

[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_13]: and gets absolutely creased there

[01:10:27] [SPEAKER_13]: this game has just

[01:10:28] [SPEAKER_13]: started to really pick up again in this

[01:10:30] [SPEAKER_13]: second half no doubt about it

[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_14]: so now it's Melvin 28 out from

[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_14]: their own line penalty conceded by

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis a league pool much needed

[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_13]: one to Andrew the storm have not

[01:10:41] [SPEAKER_13]: been out again to any kind of rhythm

[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_13]: this game at all we've got

[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_13]: to put it down to the effective defensive

[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_13]: strategy of the sharks

[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_13]: Jason Bacouille has just said he's been a

[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_13]: major contributor off the bench he is

[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_13]: just applying pressure all over the place

[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_13]: he's being a real pest so now

[01:10:56] [SPEAKER_14]: the kick finds touch 10 meters in granola

[01:10:58] [SPEAKER_14]: territory chance here for Melvin and

[01:11:00] [SPEAKER_14]: how often have we seen this they absorb

[01:11:03] [SPEAKER_14]: all the pressure and then you let

[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_14]: him downfield and they can score on

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_14]: you Smith send the ball left to Kenny

[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich dummy straight pass Galan he goes

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_14]: now he's caught 26 out by Haineson

[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_14]: right in front of the post

[01:11:14] [SPEAKER_14]: northern end of the ground Smith works at

[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_14]: left the green shortfall away to Toru

[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Harris he's greeted their 12 meters out

[01:11:20] [SPEAKER_14]: from the goal line by Lewis primarily

[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 in from the western touch line

[01:11:23] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith attacks the blindside Jordan McLean

[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_14]: he ran it Barber and Townsend he spotted

[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_14]: them well big Jordan but he's caught

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_14]: only a meter out courageous defense

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_14]: eight nil granola still over 30

[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_14]: minutes to go Smith got it away

[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_14]: Bromwich for the line he's over

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_14]: Matt Chechen said but granola are going to

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_14]: rule that penalty from Michael and

[01:11:56] [SPEAKER_14]: there's your sense of it all the ball

[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_14]: it looks like Bromwich is going to be

[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_14]: eight four thirty minutes and 34 seconds

[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_14]: to go Jesse Bromwich crashes it up this is

[01:12:08] [SPEAKER_14]: what Melbourne do they absorb all that

[01:12:14] [SPEAKER_13]: pressure they came down the field in

[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_13]: that set after getting the penalty

[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_13]: they stuck one play into their left

[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_13]: hand side went back in and then the

[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_13]: next three plays Andrew went at all

[01:12:24] [SPEAKER_13]: the same individuals you talked about

[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_13]: a short side play that went into Chad

[01:12:28] [SPEAKER_13]: Townsend and they found Ben Barber in the

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_13]: front line and then what you saw Cameron

[01:12:33] [SPEAKER_13]: Smith again play out the front

[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_13]: for Jesse Bromwich who's been really

[01:12:37] [SPEAKER_13]: effective close to the trial on a couple

[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_13]: times this year gets the ball over the

[01:12:41] [SPEAKER_13]: strike. Melvin Storm will not do it.

[01:12:46] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith will try to convert

[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Jesse Bromwich to the try one thing

[01:12:49] [SPEAKER_14]: granola can't afford in a tight

[01:12:51] [SPEAKER_14]: game against Melbourne is to give away

[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_14]: dumb penalties like we saw down the

[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_14]: other end and granola can see the

[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_14]: try through the storm down to the

[01:12:59] [SPEAKER_14]: touch line Andrew Ryan. Yeah it was

[01:13:01] [SPEAKER_16]: huge wasn't it and it was Kenny Bromwich

[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_16]: in that play the ball and what a big

[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_16]: moment for them to come down in it was

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_16]: three massive charges from some of

[01:13:09] [SPEAKER_16]: the biggest players in the game

[01:13:10] [SPEAKER_16]: Toru Harris over on this left edge

[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_16]: Jordan McLean and then Bromwich

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_16]: in the middle to get the ball down

[01:13:16] [SPEAKER_16]: over the stripe as we see Cameron Smith

[01:13:18] [SPEAKER_16]: line it up here. His first attempt

[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_14]: of the night 20 in from touch

[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_14]: Western side 18 meters in

[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 meters out he strikes it with a

[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_14]: left boot he likes it it never looked

[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_14]: like missing look out sharks here

[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_14]: comes the storm 29 minutes left granola

[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_14]: rate Melbourne 6. Yeah just looking at

[01:13:37] [SPEAKER_13]: that replay again Chris Hinton got caught

[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_13]: on the try line when the ball was played

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_13]: Cameron Smith hypnotized him looked

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_13]: like he was going to go himself so Chris Hinton

[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_13]: held up didn't come forward you can't be standing

[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_13]: still on your try line with Jesse Bromwich

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_13]: coming at you and Innis just

[01:13:53] [SPEAKER_13]: and hiding to get swatted out of the way

[01:13:56] [SPEAKER_13]: Bromwich does a great job of spinning

[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_13]: his body over. See him do that once or twice

[01:14:00] [SPEAKER_13]: recently too haven't we down in Melbourne?

[01:14:01] [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah normally a run around play around

[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_13]: Cameron Smith and he hits the gets hit

[01:14:05] [SPEAKER_13]: as the lead runner and scores but that time

[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_13]: was straight off the ruck and highly effective

[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_13]: here come the storm. Jesse Bromwich

[01:14:12] [SPEAKER_14]: his fifth try in his 27th game

[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_14]: so from the kickoff Melbourne have it 14

[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_14]: out for their own line set of field Smith dummy half

[01:14:19] [SPEAKER_14]: he works the ball to the right edge of the storm

[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_14]: have it through Kenny Bromwich he's caught

[01:14:23] [SPEAKER_14]: 20 meters out from his own line

[01:14:25] [SPEAKER_14]: he'll get to his feet plays it away

[01:14:27] [SPEAKER_14]: it comes to Kevin Proctor open side

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_14]: he's wrapped up 31 out from his own line

[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_14]: by Bikui it's 20 in from touch eastern side

[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_14]: now Jesse Bromwich he's over the 40

[01:14:35] [SPEAKER_14]: wrapped up 8 short of half way this is

[01:14:37] [SPEAKER_14]: where they get methodical this is where

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_14]: they make a heap of ground and a

[01:14:40] [SPEAKER_14]: taris over half way taken 4 meters

[01:14:42] [SPEAKER_14]: in granola territory 8-6 to the sharks

[01:14:45] [SPEAKER_14]: 28 minutes to go Cooper Cronk

[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_14]: goes a high kick and he's targeting the

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_14]: new winger out there Beale

[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Beale takes it and gets absolutely

[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 meters out from the granola line

[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_14]: now they spin it to the open side right

[01:14:58] [SPEAKER_14]: tackle comes on Latelli 13 meters

[01:15:00] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line granola leading 8-6

[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_14]: now it's Beale BANG

[01:15:05] [SPEAKER_14]: through himself at Beale

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_14]: somehow he gets to his feet

[01:15:10] [SPEAKER_14]: and granola work the ball to the 30 meter line

[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_14]: courtesy of bird he plays the ball to

[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_14]: Wenness he sends it right charging

[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_14]: into them up over the 40 they go to the shark

[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_14]: he's 6 meters short of half way is where

[01:15:21] [SPEAKER_14]: Jack Burtle played on the last

[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_14]: to Wenness set a field of Maloney right

[01:15:24] [SPEAKER_14]: to left they work into Graham shore ball

[01:15:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Natelli he drills a left kick down

[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_14]: field but Munster brilliantly positioned

[01:15:31] [SPEAKER_14]: fields at 8 out from his own line

[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_14]: confronted by Townsend and Gallon

[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_14]: and wrapped up 9 8 out from his own line

[01:15:36] [SPEAKER_14]: 27 minutes left 8-6 to the sharks

[01:15:38] [SPEAKER_14]: to the sideline Andrew Ryan well aren't we

[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_16]: in the arm wrestle now a couple of quality

[01:15:42] [SPEAKER_16]: sets from both sides here twoing and

[01:15:44] [SPEAKER_16]: throwing and who's going to come through

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_16]: what sort of play is going to be the

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_16]: difference in the next 5 minutes

[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne 10 short of half way 15 in

[01:15:51] [SPEAKER_14]: from the western touchline Blair to Smith

[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_14]: short side to Harris I reckon he's been

[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_14]: enormous and he beat like Jack bird there

[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_14]: as if Jack bird was not existent and he

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_14]: played 2 meters in granola territory

[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_14]: with the sharks players hit the deck

[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_14]: it comes away Jinx comes away to

[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_14]: Fadouken he gets the pass back to Smith

[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_14]: healing start with Gronk then works

[01:16:08] [SPEAKER_14]: it right to Proctor then a pass out

[01:16:10] [SPEAKER_14]: the Chambers in field he comes

[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_14]: he's 31 out for the granola line he hasn't

[01:16:14] [SPEAKER_14]: moved but he is in garg-garland

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_14]: comes away to Cronk on the last he sends

[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_14]: it high it's coming down 10 out

[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_14]: Barbara wants it Barbara catches it

[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 14 out from his own line they've got to

[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_14]: stop playing I need to stop this guy

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_14]: someone can tell him that the career has

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_14]: been sound asleep for 3 minutes they

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_14]: need to do it on a pillow they will

[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_14]: stop play 12 out from the granola

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_14]: line 26 minutes and 10 seconds left

[01:16:36] [SPEAKER_14]: it was because you're trying to

[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_13]: tackle he's had on the wrong side

[01:16:39] [SPEAKER_13]: got a knee straight to the temple

[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_13]: nothing to do with Toru Harris

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_13]: who put some great footwork on

[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_13]: and Jason McKeogh has been outstanding

[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_13]: his whole time on the park so

[01:16:49] [SPEAKER_13]: if he can't continue that's a

[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_13]: massive loss he's looking okay as

[01:16:53] [SPEAKER_13]: he sits up there now

[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_13]: and this is the first time the melbourne storm

[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_13]: have looked like they've had any rhythm isn't it

[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_13]: they've just been able to find the rhythm

[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_13]: and the sharks have to really make

[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_13]: sure that their next

[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_13]: 3-4 attacking sets knocked

[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_13]: them out of that rhythm by asking questions

[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_13]: if they just try and get out of their

[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_13]: territory by hitting the ball up

[01:17:12] [SPEAKER_13]: that is playing into the melbourne storm

[01:17:14] [SPEAKER_14]: to me it's reminiscent of seeing

[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_14]: surfer finally get up on top of a wave

[01:17:18] [SPEAKER_14]: that's what melbourne storm looks like

[01:17:20] [SPEAKER_14]: to me granola keeps falling off just at

[01:17:22] [SPEAKER_14]: the moment they're struggling to catch

[01:17:23] [SPEAKER_14]: the wave in the shore melbourne seem

[01:17:25] [SPEAKER_14]: to be having some control of that

[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_14]: at the moment but it is 8-6

[01:17:28] [SPEAKER_13]: is that because you were down north granola

[01:17:31] [SPEAKER_13]: possibly because this morning

[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_14]: the key off sam takatisi

[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_13]: you can take that wedged off mate

[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_14]: ball gallant no way has a gallant caught

[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_14]: 27 hours from his own line

[01:17:40] [SPEAKER_14]: right instead of if the ball played to ennis

[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_14]: away to andrew for feeder

[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_14]: run straight and harder with an 11-1

[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_14]: half way he'll play the ball this he does

[01:17:48] [SPEAKER_14]: to ennis short ball left takatisi

[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_14]: he's first touched in about 7 weeks

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_14]: he's caught 2 metres in melbourne's territory

[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle granola ennis

[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_14]: works at right town send needs a good kick

[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_14]: he sends it straight down the throat

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_14]: of munster 8-8 from his own line in fact

[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_14]: in the end it's taken by corabetti

[01:18:02] [SPEAKER_14]: who skirts on the outside of fallentine homes

[01:18:04] [SPEAKER_14]: easily he's up over the 30

[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_14]: great run by corabetti not great defense

[01:18:08] [SPEAKER_14]: by homes

[01:18:10] [SPEAKER_13]: how the sharks get to regather here which is a little bit

[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_13]: of a bonus off for them

[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_13]: and they come forward again they step forward

[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_13]: the sharks have got a massive pack out

[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_13]: at the moment andrew with takatisi

[01:18:25] [SPEAKER_13]: and for feeder out there together with ball gallant

[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_14]: in the middle I'm just hearing from gibsy

[01:18:29] [SPEAKER_14]: and bobcat that fecky's not coming back

[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_14]: becky unlikely to come back and matt fryer

[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_14]: getting a hit assessment at the moment

[01:18:35] [SPEAKER_14]: so melbourne go over half way

[01:18:37] [SPEAKER_14]: kenny brommich away to kuberkronk

[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_14]: linked up with kevin proctor

[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_14]: he's dragged to the ground 34 metres out

[01:18:43] [SPEAKER_14]: 25 minutes left 8-6 to granola

[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_14]: melbourne starting to get the upper hand

[01:18:47] [SPEAKER_14]: smith works the left of finook and put a fend on

[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_14]: but holy gondawin was takatisi

[01:18:51] [SPEAKER_14]: with ennis 19 ounce from the granola

[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_14]: line set afield last tackle for the storm

[01:18:55] [SPEAKER_14]: smith into dummy half

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_14]: grish from right to left crossfield kick

[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_14]: kuberkronk chasing it 5-5 after it

[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball beats him all over the dead ball line

[01:19:02] [SPEAKER_14]: want to let off the granola 20 metre tap

[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_14]: 7 tackle set 24 minutes 36 to go

[01:19:07] [SPEAKER_14]: and it's granola holding on 8-6 over melbourne

[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_14]: well i ended with that news from the sideline

[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_13]: about those players missing

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_13]: but mine can't help but go back a couple of weeks

[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_13]: when they played the raiders

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_13]: and had all that adversity

[01:19:20] [SPEAKER_13]: everyone stepped up every one of their

[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_13]: single plays is going to have to do the same

[01:19:23] [SPEAKER_13]: this is a grand final against the melbourne storm

[01:19:26] [SPEAKER_13]: so it's going to be a tough ask

[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_13]: to hold on to that 2 point lead with 24 minutes to go

[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_14]: gallantine home 7 metres in melbourne territory plays it

[01:19:33] [SPEAKER_14]: gallant steps infield

[01:19:35] [SPEAKER_14]: he's going to be taken by finook and Blair

[01:19:37] [SPEAKER_14]: was in there as well as the third man

[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_14]: cameron smith 32 ounce for the melbourne line

[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_14]: ennis sends the ball left away now to takatisi

[01:19:43] [SPEAKER_14]: leaves one in his wake

[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_14]: drags with the ground by kenny brommage

[01:19:46] [SPEAKER_14]: 22 ounce for the melbourne line set afield

[01:19:49] [SPEAKER_14]: two tackles left for granola who lead by two

[01:19:51] [SPEAKER_14]: ennis to melani short ball left nearly forward to granola

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_14]: he's put down by chambers 10 ounce from the line

[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle ennis

[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_14]: he gives the ball away now melani crossfield kick

[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_14]: it's not deep enough to get to the goal line

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_14]: chase Blair might have lost that

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_14]: comes back to the melbourne storm is that offside

[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_14]: not gone into ruling but it's going to be a granola scrum feed

[01:20:09] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 metres out for the melbourne

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_14]: this crowd has been very quiet

[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_14]: for an 80,000 plus crowd I've got to say

[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_14]: they are so anxious they're holding their breath

[01:20:20] [SPEAKER_16]: very very nervous here i think andrew

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_16]: but this is a big moment for the sharks

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_16]: and their fans here a little kick there from melani

[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_16]: and gets a result here

[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_16]: more often than not they go right over to the far

[01:20:31] [SPEAKER_16]: cross kick right over the side on this time

[01:20:34] [SPEAKER_16]: melani went for the little dink

[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_16]: in between there and got a result on chase Blair

[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_14]: well so so fecky is on the push bike

[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_14]: the exercise bike

[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_14]: his left knee is very heavily strapped

[01:20:46] [SPEAKER_14]: chris heington the only player currently on the bench

[01:20:48] [SPEAKER_14]: granola wins the scrum and it comes away now to fafida

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_14]: he's wrapped up eight out good news for granola

[01:20:53] [SPEAKER_14]: looks like matt pries been cleared to come back on

[01:20:55] [SPEAKER_14]: ennis sends the ball right down to sam

[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_14]: tack it's easy he's a meter out from the melbourne line

[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_14]: 22 and a half to go

[01:21:01] [SPEAKER_14]: 86 to the sharks who attack again

[01:21:04] [SPEAKER_14]: ennis sends it right to melani the town said

[01:21:06] [SPEAKER_14]: short ball away to louis can't split them

[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_14]: great tackle with that harris again

[01:21:10] [SPEAKER_14]: it was he plucked the gap

[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_14]: the ball will be played now to ennis

[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_14]: dummies goes himself waste of tackle michael in

[01:21:17] [SPEAKER_14]: and two tackles left here for granola

[01:21:19] [SPEAKER_14]: who lead by two ball played to gallant

[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_14]: says it open side left to town send

[01:21:23] [SPEAKER_14]: then away to melani delayed past the barber

[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_14]: barber tries to split them but coming across

[01:21:27] [SPEAKER_14]: with a wonderful tackle kufa kronk

[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_14]: five out from the melbourne line

[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_14]: five in from tachis inside last tackle

[01:21:33] [SPEAKER_14]: pressure on melani a little cross field

[01:21:35] [SPEAKER_14]: kick the ball of the engol area Blair

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_14]: takes it and it's going to be melani

[01:21:42] [SPEAKER_14]: great chase by louis

[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_14]: two minutes left granola rate melbourne six

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_13]: that's the second time in consecutive sets

[01:21:50] [SPEAKER_13]: that melani searched out louis

[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_13]: to chase the ball he wants him to take

[01:21:54] [SPEAKER_13]: on blake green they see that as

[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_13]: the best opportunity obviously this time

[01:21:58] [SPEAKER_13]: louis drives chase player

[01:22:01] [SPEAKER_13]: into the engol area they get another

[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_13]: set their third repeat set andrew

[01:22:05] [SPEAKER_13]: this stage of the game in a grand

[01:22:07] [SPEAKER_13]: final this can suck the energy

[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_13]: out of the storm

[01:22:10] [SPEAKER_14]: get the feeling though maddie granola

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_14]: don't score one of these they might get run down

[01:22:14] [SPEAKER_14]: here as melani takes the line drop out

[01:22:16] [SPEAKER_14]: 42 out gives it away to andrew

[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_14]: for feeder a compelling contest now

[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_14]: and for feeder stands in the tackle

[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_14]: before being written into the deck

[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and he'll play at christian welsh is out there

[01:22:42] [SPEAKER_14]: graham but he's cut down 14 a

[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_14]: desperate defence that time by Cronkin

[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_14]: proctor played to ennis works it right

[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_14]: the galon can get on offload now he's

[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_14]: their own line trailing 86 yeah they sure

[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_16]: are getting frustrated as we see the sharks

[01:24:41] [SPEAKER_13]: his eight meters out from their own dry line

[01:24:43] [SPEAKER_13]: and the granola sharks are asking a

[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_13]: lot of questions of this very starting

[01:24:47] [SPEAKER_13]: to tire defensive line

[01:24:49] [SPEAKER_13]: what we're seeing here is all their outside

[01:24:51] [SPEAKER_13]: backs trying to get them out of trouble

[01:24:53] [SPEAKER_13]: they need a break out play here and

[01:24:55] [SPEAKER_13]: they need someone to do something special

[01:24:57] [SPEAKER_13]: for them to get some field position

[01:24:59] [SPEAKER_13]: or to draw a penalty

[01:25:01] [SPEAKER_13]: sorry you go over the 30

[01:25:16] [SPEAKER_14]: wall hits him 21 22 meters

[01:25:18] [SPEAKER_14]: yet from the canola line 18 minutes

[01:25:36] [SPEAKER_14]: waist Cameron Smith with the tackle in this

[01:25:38] [SPEAKER_14]: he gives it a forfeiter and says you go Andrew

[01:25:48] [SPEAKER_14]: gala and he's caught four meters in

[01:25:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne territory 8 6 to Crenulla

[01:25:52] [SPEAKER_14]: 17 minutes 40 left last tackle

[01:25:54] [SPEAKER_14]: and expect the town send rules into

[01:25:56] [SPEAKER_14]: the southwestern corner it's going to be way too

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_14]: hard over the dead ball on shot

[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_14]: and kick by the half back 20 meter

[01:26:02] [SPEAKER_14]: tap for Melbourne and seven tackles to

[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_14]: the touch line we go every right well that's

[01:26:06] [SPEAKER_16]: a brain snap there from Townsend

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_16]: I don't know if he was trying to get it across the sideline

[01:26:10] [SPEAKER_16]: but I guess the thought process

[01:26:12] [SPEAKER_16]: was okay but that's a really poor result

[01:26:14] [SPEAKER_16]: for Crenulla shark he's

[01:26:16] [SPEAKER_14]: trying to get over the sideline he missed it by some way

[01:26:18] [SPEAKER_14]: here's Melbourne with it over the 30

[01:26:20] [SPEAKER_14]: they go through Christian Welsh pass out the back

[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_14]: to Glasby Glasby up to the 40

[01:26:24] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's taken nine short of half way

[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_14]: 17 minutes left grand final in the balance

[01:26:28] [SPEAKER_14]: out of dummy half is that Hampton on the field

[01:26:31] [SPEAKER_14]: he's tackled two meters in Crenulla's

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_14]: half he'll play the ball to Cameron Smith

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_14]: dummies inside goes outside eventually

[01:26:36] [SPEAKER_14]: to Blake Green over the 40

[01:26:37] [SPEAKER_14]: the show and go great the sparing tackle

[01:26:40] [SPEAKER_14]: by Luke Lewis 32 out from the Crenulla goal line

[01:26:42] [SPEAKER_14]: play to Smith he sends it

[01:26:44] [SPEAKER_14]: up inside right Hampton short ball on the

[01:26:46] [SPEAKER_14]: Welsh he's going to be confronted there by

[01:26:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Lewis and Gallant two old hard heads but he

[01:26:49] [SPEAKER_14]: popped the pass to Cameron Smith they work it

[01:26:51] [SPEAKER_14]: right to Cooper Cronk then away goes Hampton

[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_14]: he links up with Chambers beats one hopelessly

[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_13]: as we watched the replay here

[01:27:22] [SPEAKER_13]: all came from an off-load

[01:27:24] [SPEAKER_13]: from Welsh's against the ball and the

[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_13]: shifts straight away to the right hand side

[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_13]: Cooper Cronk goes all the way

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_13]: to the sideline and plays out the

[01:27:32] [SPEAKER_13]: back to Hampton as you as you already

[01:27:35] [SPEAKER_13]: identified on the field and gets the ball

[01:27:37] [SPEAKER_13]: to Chambers Chambers has a lot of

[01:27:39] [SPEAKER_13]: work to do here Andrew he's 18

[01:27:40] [SPEAKER_13]: meters out steps off his right foot

[01:27:43] [SPEAKER_13]: sees a bit of space commits himself

[01:27:45] [SPEAKER_13]: to the trial line slides in

[01:27:48] [SPEAKER_13]: what a turnaround

[01:27:49] [SPEAKER_13]: what a turnaround and why should

[01:27:51] [SPEAKER_14]: it surprise us Crenulla have not been

[01:27:53] [SPEAKER_14]: able to capitalize and Andrew Ryan

[01:27:55] [SPEAKER_14]: we've seen this from Melbourne so

[01:27:57] [SPEAKER_14]: often they are just a brilliant team

[01:27:59] [SPEAKER_16]: oh they're just pretty glad they

[01:28:01] [SPEAKER_16]: and there's been a couple of significant

[01:28:02] [SPEAKER_16]: plays in the last two sets

[01:28:04] [SPEAKER_16]: the previous set it was a big kick from Blake

[01:28:07] [SPEAKER_16]: Green got them in great field position

[01:28:09] [SPEAKER_16]: and that off-load you mentioned from

[01:28:10] [SPEAKER_16]: Welsh there that was amazing

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_16]: all the Sharks defensive line had gone back

[01:28:15] [SPEAKER_16]: three guys in the tackle pops it out

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_14]: the back well played there's one

[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_14]: play you don't know how because

[01:28:20] [SPEAKER_14]: he's been such a great player but to

[01:28:23] [SPEAKER_14]: me a momentum changer was when Crenulla

[01:28:24] [SPEAKER_14]: had free sets on the Melbourne line

[01:28:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne finally gets the footy back

[01:28:28] [SPEAKER_14]: and Michael Ennis gives away a penalty for

[01:28:30] [SPEAKER_14]: a leg pull 20 out from the Melbourne line

[01:28:32] [SPEAKER_14]: they go downfield and they score to make it

[01:28:34] [SPEAKER_14]: 8-6 now it's 10-8 to Melbourne

[01:28:36] [SPEAKER_14]: quarter of an hour to go this is

[01:28:38] [SPEAKER_14]: where you don't want to be against Melbourne

[01:28:40] [SPEAKER_14]: behind with a quarter of an hour to go

[01:28:42] [SPEAKER_14]: with the game managers they have

[01:28:43] [SPEAKER_14]: particularly Mrs Smith and Cronk

[01:28:46] [SPEAKER_14]: speaking of one of them at Smith 20 meters

[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_14]: out 17 in from the eastern touch

[01:28:50] [SPEAKER_14]: line to give them a four point

[01:28:52] [SPEAKER_14]: break over Crenulla side that has dominated

[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_14]: field position yet they have not been

[01:28:56] [SPEAKER_14]: able to score since the 15th minute

[01:28:58] [SPEAKER_14]: in comes Smith he strikes it with a

[01:29:00] [SPEAKER_14]: left boot he's kicked that right between

[01:29:02] [SPEAKER_14]: the post he's two out of two

[01:29:04] [SPEAKER_14]: and this Melbourne storm side

[01:29:06] [SPEAKER_14]: lead Crenulla 12 points

[01:29:08] [SPEAKER_14]: to 8 as we head into the final quarter

[01:29:10] [SPEAKER_14]: hour of the season yeah Andrew

[01:29:12] [SPEAKER_13]: well one thing that this may do to

[01:29:14] [SPEAKER_13]: Cronulla Sharks get them to open that game

[01:29:16] [SPEAKER_13]: up a little bit wow the inner changer

[01:29:18] [SPEAKER_13]: passes we watched the replay there

[01:29:20] [SPEAKER_13]: as on the highest quality we see

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_13]: their ball carries carrying the ball

[01:29:24] [SPEAKER_13]: all the way to the line

[01:29:25] [SPEAKER_13]: you just see there why Cronk

[01:29:28] [SPEAKER_13]: has been voted the best player in our game

[01:29:30] [SPEAKER_13]: the little pass he put on there

[01:29:31] [SPEAKER_13]: to play out the back to Hampton was just

[01:29:34] [SPEAKER_14]: superb. Some of his

[01:29:36] [SPEAKER_14]: last ditch defence down on his own line

[01:29:38] [SPEAKER_14]: has been pretty fair too from Cronk

[01:29:40] [SPEAKER_14]: kick off taken by Munster

[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_14]: he gives it away on the open side of the Melbourne storm

[01:29:43] [SPEAKER_14]: have it 12 out from their own line leading

[01:29:45] [SPEAKER_14]: 12-8 in front for the first time

[01:29:48] [SPEAKER_14]: ball played to Cameron Smith

[01:29:49] [SPEAKER_14]: he sends it away to Glasby

[01:29:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Glasby over the 20 court 21

[01:29:53] [SPEAKER_14]: out from his own line

[01:29:54] [SPEAKER_14]: so how can Cronulla get out of this

[01:29:57] [SPEAKER_14]: out it comes to the left it's all who

[01:29:58] [SPEAKER_14]: Harris it's created have it called night

[01:30:00] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's wrapped up 31 out

[01:30:03] [SPEAKER_14]: from his own line played to Smith sends

[01:30:04] [SPEAKER_14]: it right to Welsh has been outstanding

[01:30:06] [SPEAKER_14]: coming off the bench in the second half

[01:30:08] [SPEAKER_14]: this time he's contained 6

[01:30:10] [SPEAKER_14]: feet is short of half way by prior

[01:30:11] [SPEAKER_14]: and Andrew for Feta Smith gets it

[01:30:14] [SPEAKER_14]: away to Hampton he's caught a meter

[01:30:16] [SPEAKER_14]: in Cronulla territory set afield last tackle

[01:30:18] [SPEAKER_14]: this is where game management comes in from

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne and it's Blake Green with the

[01:30:22] [SPEAKER_14]: first kick it's a midfield roost

[01:30:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and it's going to come down 20 out Valentine

[01:30:25] [SPEAKER_14]: Holmes a thought loss track of it finally

[01:30:27] [SPEAKER_14]: picked it up catches it well and he's caught

[01:30:29] [SPEAKER_14]: by Chase Blair inside his own 30

[01:30:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Townsend gets it away to Bright Vigata

[01:30:34] [SPEAKER_14]: within 20 to go Melbourne 12 Cronulla

[01:30:39] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 Townsend finds touch in front

[01:30:54] [SPEAKER_14]: of us Western side 10 meters in

[01:30:55] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne territory well Andrew we saw

[01:30:57] [SPEAKER_13]: what actually got the Melbourne storm

[01:30:59] [SPEAKER_13]: the opportunity to get into some space

[01:31:01] [SPEAKER_13]: was second phase plays we see

[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_13]: Paul Gallant punch in the line

[01:31:05] [SPEAKER_13]: it's something that the sharks have been highly effective

[01:31:07] [SPEAKER_13]: of but haven't seen a lot of it tonight

[01:31:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Maloney spreads it left to Fafita bounced

[01:31:11] [SPEAKER_14]: away from one bounce away from

[01:31:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronk who came back at him down low

[01:31:15] [SPEAKER_14]: with the Glasgow over the top 30 out for the

[01:31:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne line ball played to Barber sends

[01:31:19] [SPEAKER_14]: it open side right to Matt Pryor can

[01:31:21] [SPEAKER_14]: who can set a green with Cameron Smith 19

[01:31:23] [SPEAKER_14]: out for the Melbourne line 20 and from

[01:31:25] [SPEAKER_14]: the Eastern touch line in us open side

[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_14]: right to Maloney takes them on but

[01:31:28] [SPEAKER_14]: the defense is awake to it and it's Cameron

[01:31:30] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith there to greet him he's put down 10

[01:31:32] [SPEAKER_14]: meters out with Hampton 8

[01:31:34] [SPEAKER_14]: 12 8 in favour of Melbourne Cronulla

[01:31:36] [SPEAKER_14]: attack Townsend to Lewis back on

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_14]: the inside of Barber he did well to link

[01:31:40] [SPEAKER_14]: up with Townsend 15 out of these

[01:31:42] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne defenders are everywhere Cronulla

[01:31:43] [SPEAKER_14]: looked like they're a bit out on their feet to me last

[01:31:46] [SPEAKER_14]: tackle all penalty against Cameron

[01:31:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith in the play the ball

[01:31:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Penley to the sharkies I shot

[01:31:52] [SPEAKER_13]: this thing there Andrew and he's down

[01:31:54] [SPEAKER_13]: on his back to Marguelanis

[01:31:55] [SPEAKER_13]: look at the replay here I didn't really pick that up

[01:31:58] [SPEAKER_13]: in life sorry

[01:32:00] [SPEAKER_13]: bird is it a cop that over the top from

[01:32:03] [SPEAKER_13]: Welsh Welsh and that was

[01:32:04] [SPEAKER_13]: that was really unnecessary Cameron Smith

[01:32:07] [SPEAKER_13]: had the tackle or it was

[01:32:09] [SPEAKER_13]: township Chad Townsend and that was

[01:32:12] [SPEAKER_13]: as a coach should be a little

[01:32:13] [SPEAKER_13]: disappointed after they work really hard

[01:32:15] [SPEAKER_13]: there for four plays and as you said

[01:32:17] [SPEAKER_13]: it snuffed snuffed them out completely

[01:32:20] [SPEAKER_14]: so what do they do here they're down

[01:32:22] [SPEAKER_14]: by four with a dozen minutes to go

[01:32:24] [SPEAKER_13]: I ended they play 40 and

[01:32:25] [SPEAKER_13]: they need to and they've

[01:32:27] [SPEAKER_14]: got to rely on the fact that all the work

[01:32:29] [SPEAKER_14]: they've made Melbourne's defence do

[01:32:31] [SPEAKER_14]: for most of this game that

[01:32:34] [SPEAKER_14]: toll will now be collected

[01:32:36] [SPEAKER_14]: so he's down he looks in trouble

[01:32:37] [SPEAKER_14]: for Nürken getting checked on the field

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_14]: as well let's go down to the touch line Andrew Ryan

[01:32:41] [SPEAKER_16]: yeah it's such a massive part in this game

[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_16]: isn't it the 12 minutes to go

[01:32:45] [SPEAKER_16]: the sharks they're trying to go through them

[01:32:47] [SPEAKER_16]: Ben Barber sniffing around

[01:32:49] [SPEAKER_16]: in the middle of the park he's the key

[01:32:51] [SPEAKER_16]: I'd love to see Valentine Holmes

[01:32:53] [SPEAKER_16]: coming off his wing get some opportunities as well

[01:32:56] [SPEAKER_14]: so now Maloney kicks the ball

[01:32:57] [SPEAKER_14]: directly across field finds touch 12

[01:33:00] [SPEAKER_14]: out and then Lewis

[01:33:01] [SPEAKER_14]: takes it back another five meters

[01:33:04] [SPEAKER_14]: so obviously 17 meters

[01:33:05] [SPEAKER_14]: out with the goal there comes to Jack

[01:33:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Bird good tackle ball and all by Blake

[01:33:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Green and he's taken nine out for the

[01:33:11] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne Stormline 11 minutes 44 to go

[01:33:13] [SPEAKER_14]: 12-8 to Melbourne Crenulla

[01:33:15] [SPEAKER_14]: with a footy in us send to left town

[01:33:17] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 then away to Paul Gallin he's over

[01:33:19] [SPEAKER_14]: the 10 but taken eight meters out from

[01:33:21] [SPEAKER_14]: the Melbourne line he'll get to his feet

[01:33:22] [SPEAKER_14]: in his hands flying at dummy half

[01:33:25] [SPEAKER_14]: send it a prior not a good pass

[01:33:27] [SPEAKER_14]: good hands Maloney to Barber for the momentum

[01:33:28] [SPEAKER_14]: lost because of a poor pass from prior

[01:33:31] [SPEAKER_14]: and the tackle comes 12 meters out from the goal

[01:33:33] [SPEAKER_14]: line Crenulla with it down by

[01:33:35] [SPEAKER_14]: four Ennis works

[01:33:37] [SPEAKER_14]: at right to Matt Pryor straight into

[01:33:39] [SPEAKER_14]: well she goes with help from Ben Hampton

[01:33:41] [SPEAKER_14]: and he'll play at five meters out from the

[01:33:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne line with a tick over 11 minutes to go

[01:33:45] [SPEAKER_14]: two tackles left here for Crenulla

[01:33:47] [SPEAKER_14]: Michael Ennis dummy half flat pass

[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_14]: for Fida defend those all over

[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_14]: he gets it down

[01:34:24] [SPEAKER_13]: there's more than strength Andrew that is

[01:34:26] [SPEAKER_13]: just pure will power

[01:34:28] [SPEAKER_13]: and determination he had no right to get

[01:34:30] [SPEAKER_13]: there had three players on him

[01:34:32] [SPEAKER_13]: look at that he knew there was no way down

[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_13]: there so he spins

[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_13]: he really just keeps his arm up

[01:34:38] [SPEAKER_13]: the whole pluggera misses him

[01:34:41] [SPEAKER_18]: which is in nearly impossible

[01:34:43] [SPEAKER_18]: the injured Fida maintains position

[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_14]: and to let that down

[01:34:48] [SPEAKER_14]: it's about to be 12 ball with a kick

[01:34:50] [SPEAKER_14]: to come from in front here we go

[01:34:52] [SPEAKER_14]: the big screen chicken for Fida

[01:34:54] [SPEAKER_14]: he does much as a lot

[01:34:56] [SPEAKER_14]: he scored between the uprights

[01:34:58] [SPEAKER_14]: a dozen each kick to come from in front

[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_16]: Andrew right on the touch line

[01:35:01] [SPEAKER_16]: oh well you said it unbelievable

[01:35:05] [SPEAKER_16]: this crowd being quiet there certainly

[01:35:07] [SPEAKER_16]: not quite now they have come alive

[01:35:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Ben Hampton fans keep those

[01:35:11] [SPEAKER_14]: porch lights on Harold Holt might be

[01:35:14] [SPEAKER_14]: dropping by after all

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_14]: 10 minutes 42 to go kick

[01:35:17] [SPEAKER_14]: to come from along to sum up what

[01:35:24] [SPEAKER_13]: we just saw from an individual there

[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_13]: he just basically plunged himself

[01:35:28] [SPEAKER_13]: into the center of

[01:35:30] [SPEAKER_13]: the Melbourne Storm defensive unit

[01:35:32] [SPEAKER_13]: that has repelled everything

[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_13]: this evening

[01:35:35] [SPEAKER_13]: everything that has come their way

[01:35:37] [SPEAKER_13]: he thumps into four players

[01:35:39] [SPEAKER_13]: they hold him up he looks like he's going down one way

[01:35:42] [SPEAKER_13]: he does a full pirouette

[01:35:44] [SPEAKER_13]: with a ball in his right hand and somehow

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_13]: over the top of his head gets the ball down

[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_14]: amazing to me Maddie fast speed

[01:35:50] [SPEAKER_14]: real speed that's the

[01:35:52] [SPEAKER_14]: thing that I always want to see exciting moments in the game

[01:35:54] [SPEAKER_14]: but to me you need it

[01:35:56] [SPEAKER_14]: slow motion to appreciate everything

[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_14]: that Andrew Fafita had to do

[01:35:59] [SPEAKER_14]: every sinew of his body

[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_14]: here's Maloney to reclaim the lead for

[01:36:03] [SPEAKER_14]: Crinola 12 out and in front

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_14]: he strikes and he likes it

[01:36:06] [SPEAKER_14]: he kicks it it's Crinola up for it

[01:36:14] [SPEAKER_14]: in the 69th minute

[01:36:19] [SPEAKER_13]: comes from a penalty that didn't need to be given away

[01:36:21] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew and with the show for Fafita there

[01:36:23] [SPEAKER_13]: he hangs the ball over trying to get it

[01:36:25] [SPEAKER_13]: and there's two or three players coming

[01:36:27] [SPEAKER_13]: and he just flips around

[01:36:29] [SPEAKER_13]: and we just saw

[01:36:30] [SPEAKER_13]: Shane Fagan in the box

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_13]: I think he was fairly happy with that

[01:36:35] [SPEAKER_14]: did you pick that up? Yes, two coaches who show

[01:36:37] [SPEAKER_14]: greater motion Barbara the kickoff gives it to

[01:36:39] [SPEAKER_14]: for Fita this time he's

[01:36:41] [SPEAKER_14]: wrapped up 10 meters out from his own

[01:36:43] [SPEAKER_14]: line he'll play the ball and it comes

[01:36:45] [SPEAKER_14]: to the right to Matt Pryor

[01:36:46] [SPEAKER_14]: Harris is there to plunder gap

[01:36:48] [SPEAKER_14]: 19 out from the Crinola line setter field

[01:36:50] [SPEAKER_14]: Hint Rees is 21 degrees still here in Sydney

[01:36:57] [SPEAKER_14]: Ball played to Winners it's about 40

[01:36:59] [SPEAKER_14]: on the field Luke Lewis beat a man

[01:37:01] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith now he's claimed 33 out from

[01:37:03] [SPEAKER_14]: his own line 9 minutes left

[01:37:05] [SPEAKER_14]: Crinola 14 Melbourne storm 12

[01:37:07] [SPEAKER_14]: and now Lewis is down injured

[01:37:09] [SPEAKER_14]: they're seriously starting to drop like flies here

[01:37:12] [SPEAKER_13]: I was just about to say

[01:37:13] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew Luke Lewis normally hasn't

[01:37:15] [SPEAKER_13]: hasn't played 80 minutes at all during

[01:37:17] [SPEAKER_13]: this semi-final series as we have a look

[01:37:19] [SPEAKER_13]: at this oh he gets nailed

[01:37:21] [SPEAKER_13]: right in the face so he's not

[01:37:23] [SPEAKER_13]: staying down to hold time

[01:37:25] [SPEAKER_13]: or pull a penalty here Andrew

[01:37:27] [SPEAKER_13]: he's got the shoulder coming through

[01:37:29] [SPEAKER_13]: right in the

[01:37:31] [SPEAKER_13]: I suppose so again

[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_13]: he's to his feet

[01:37:35] [SPEAKER_13]: there won't be a penalty Andrew

[01:37:37] [SPEAKER_13]: because it needs to be put on a report

[01:37:39] [SPEAKER_13]: if it is made a penalty

[01:37:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Lewis is saying to Ben Cummins how is that not a penalty

[01:37:43] [SPEAKER_14]: he's having a chat at the trainer

[01:37:45] [SPEAKER_14]: he's a bit split in the old face

[01:37:47] [SPEAKER_13]: I see Jason McEw back on the bench

[01:37:50] [SPEAKER_13]: I don't know if he's right to go again

[01:37:52] [SPEAKER_13]: but yeah

[01:37:53] [SPEAKER_13]: Luke Lewis not looking that happy or

[01:37:55] [SPEAKER_13]: that well

[01:37:56] [SPEAKER_14]: so he'll play at 32 hour

[01:37:58] [SPEAKER_14]: he's got cut above his right eye brow

[01:38:01] [SPEAKER_14]: he's not going to go anywhere though

[01:38:02] [SPEAKER_14]: no not with 8 minutes 47 to go

[01:38:05] [SPEAKER_14]: sharks 14 storm 12

[01:38:07] [SPEAKER_14]: Gullin hits it up but the defence is very

[01:38:09] [SPEAKER_14]: very good on him for Newkin and Hampton

[01:38:11] [SPEAKER_14]: 13 should have half way last tackle

[01:38:13] [SPEAKER_14]: Ennis to Milani G they needed a good kick

[01:38:15] [SPEAKER_14]: there and it's not a good one by Milani

[01:38:16] [SPEAKER_14]: he only goes to the 30

[01:38:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Colibbi takes it on the fly

[01:38:19] [SPEAKER_14]: depth through Lewis now he's hammered

[01:38:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 meters short of half way great tackle

[01:38:24] [SPEAKER_14]: coming in there from Milani now it's with

[01:38:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Bunavalu he's over half way

[01:38:28] [SPEAKER_14]: Cranulla 14 Melbourne 12

[01:38:29] [SPEAKER_14]: 8 minutes 20 to go on the grand final

[01:38:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Smith he dummy left Jesse Bromwich

[01:38:34] [SPEAKER_14]: it over run him so he goes right to Cronk

[01:38:36] [SPEAKER_14]: then offloads a short pass on to support

[01:38:37] [SPEAKER_14]: and Melbourne have it 38 meters out from the

[01:38:40] [SPEAKER_14]: Cranulla line 18 in from touch

[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_14]: East and side now Bromwich steams into

[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_14]: the defence of Gallon and Ennis 30

[01:38:45] [SPEAKER_14]: out from the Cranulla goal line 8 minutes exactly

[01:38:47] [SPEAKER_14]: left here and it's a 2 point ball

[01:38:49] [SPEAKER_14]: game in favour of Cranulla Green

[01:38:51] [SPEAKER_14]: short pass left to Harris Lewis holds

[01:38:53] [SPEAKER_14]: on with Townsend 17 out from the

[01:38:55] [SPEAKER_14]: Cranulla line northern end 20 in from touch

[01:38:57] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle stacked blindside Cronk

[01:38:59] [SPEAKER_14]: puts it on the toe straight to Jack Bird

[01:39:01] [SPEAKER_14]: he fielded it 3

[01:39:06] [SPEAKER_14]: 7 minutes 40 left Cranulla 14

[01:39:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne 12 has now come to wait a

[01:39:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Ballantine home he spins through one

[01:39:12] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's going to be wrapped up by Green

[01:39:14] [SPEAKER_14]: and Smith just inside the Cranulla 30

[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew Sharks seem to be really careful here

[01:39:18] [SPEAKER_13]: that they just don't play hold on football

[01:39:20] [SPEAKER_13]: they need to continue to play football

[01:39:22] [SPEAKER_13]: against the Melbourne storm team here

[01:39:24] [SPEAKER_13]: because they're going to come like a

[01:39:26] [SPEAKER_13]: tidal wave in these last

[01:39:28] [SPEAKER_13]: 6 minutes or over just over 7 minutes

[01:39:30] [SPEAKER_13]: but then they've got to be very very

[01:39:32] [SPEAKER_13]: carefully at the moment they're allowing

[01:39:34] [SPEAKER_13]: Melbourne storm to conserve energy by playing

[01:39:36] [SPEAKER_13]: one out football you watch this next attacking set

[01:39:38] [SPEAKER_14]: here's Graham 8 meters in Melbourne

[01:39:40] [SPEAKER_14]: last tackle at a short side

[01:39:42] [SPEAKER_14]: away to Maloney drills a kick out on

[01:50:57] [SPEAKER_16]: mate just

[01:50:58] [SPEAKER_16]: embracing the coach there

[01:51:00] [SPEAKER_16]: what did that feel like just then with the coach

[01:51:02] [SPEAKER_11]: Bobcat I

[01:51:05] [SPEAKER_11]: still wears no to think I thought we were

[01:51:07] [SPEAKER_11]: gone there and they got the ball in

[01:51:08] [SPEAKER_11]: Corbini got it and I thought we were gone there

[01:51:11] [SPEAKER_11]: but a little bit I gave up on

[01:51:12] [SPEAKER_11]: I thought we were gone mate

[01:51:13] [SPEAKER_11]: but you know what it looks like I don't know

[01:51:15] [SPEAKER_11]: what to say but I could give up tomorrow

[01:51:17] [SPEAKER_11]: and I'll be happy now that I want to get the

[01:51:19] [SPEAKER_11]: whole trophy soon have a ring on my

[01:51:21] [SPEAKER_11]: finger I can walk away tomorrow happy man

[01:51:23] [SPEAKER_11]: Bobcat go and enjoy it mate

[01:51:24] [SPEAKER_14]: I love it this is raw emotion

[01:51:27] [SPEAKER_14]: and that's what the beautiful thing is about

[01:51:29] [SPEAKER_14]: sport let's go down to Johnny Gibbs with a

[01:51:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne's champion halfback Cooper Cron

[01:51:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Gibbsy here's a champion and Cooper I don't

[01:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: know how you put that into words unbelievable

[01:51:37] [SPEAKER_02]: obviously the sharks in first

[01:51:38] [SPEAKER_02]: premiership but you boys had it and just lost it

[01:51:41] [SPEAKER_04]: it comes in our cost unfortunately but

[01:51:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I suppose that's what

[01:51:45] [SPEAKER_04]: NRL Green Finals are all about

[01:51:46] [SPEAKER_04]: there's some story lines and some drama

[01:51:49] [SPEAKER_04]: there's a bit of theatre about it

[01:51:51] [SPEAKER_04]: congratulations to Pradala

[01:51:53] [SPEAKER_04]: their supporters their football club

[01:51:55] [SPEAKER_04]: but in terms of us

[01:51:57] [SPEAKER_04]: 8-0 at half time probably not the best start

[01:51:59] [SPEAKER_04]: for us but we worked our backsides

[01:52:01] [SPEAKER_04]: off the whole game and

[01:52:02] [SPEAKER_04]: well done to them you hit the lead

[01:52:05] [SPEAKER_02]: and you look like you had them covered on

[01:52:07] [SPEAKER_02]: just Andrew for further scoring an unbelievable try

[01:52:09] [SPEAKER_02]: but sort of upset the apple car

[01:52:11] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah look we still

[01:52:13] [SPEAKER_04]: played football and we backed out

[01:52:15] [SPEAKER_04]: offence and defeated his try was obviously

[01:52:17] [SPEAKER_04]: costly but now look well done

[01:52:19] [SPEAKER_04]: to the Cronala team well done to Shane

[01:52:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Funnigan and Paul Gale finally what were you thinking

[01:52:23] [SPEAKER_02]: right at the end of the game you were trying it from one side

[01:52:25] [SPEAKER_02]: to the other it looked like you were going to score on three occasions

[01:52:27] [SPEAKER_04]: to be sparrows with you I thought we were

[01:52:29] [SPEAKER_04]: but they're scramble defence

[01:52:30] [SPEAKER_04]: we just went out of finishing off but

[01:52:33] [SPEAKER_04]: would have been sweet but oh well that's football

[01:52:36] [SPEAKER_02]: commiserations thanks for being so gracious

[01:52:38] [SPEAKER_14]: no thank you well I've got to say

[01:52:39] [SPEAKER_14]: Kerberkron you are a class

[01:52:41] [SPEAKER_14]: Sackmate what a brilliant

[01:52:43] [SPEAKER_14]: brilliant words to offer after a heart

[01:52:45] [SPEAKER_14]: breaking loss as up up Cronala

[01:52:48] [SPEAKER_14]: Rikneshays around the ground again

[01:52:49] [SPEAKER_14]: we'll hopefully have a word to Shane Funnigan and Paul Gale

[01:52:51] [SPEAKER_14]: in a moment or two as

[01:52:53] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronala wins its first ever premiership

[01:52:55] [SPEAKER_14]: 14 points to 12 over

[01:52:57] [SPEAKER_14]: a Melbourne Storm team who didn't let them

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_14]: win it they had to take it from them

[01:53:01] [SPEAKER_14]: they had to rip it out of their hands

[01:53:03] [SPEAKER_14]: and they managed to do it on the back of that

[01:53:05] [SPEAKER_14]: Andrew for feet of try and then

[01:53:07] [SPEAKER_14]: some incredibly desperate defence in that last minute

[01:53:10] [SPEAKER_13]: Andrew there was

[01:53:11] [SPEAKER_13]: just as Kerberkron said I thought there was

[01:53:13] [SPEAKER_13]: three occasions on that last play

[01:53:15] [SPEAKER_13]: where they're going to score also when Will Chambers

[01:53:18] [SPEAKER_13]: put that rubber kick through

[01:53:19] [SPEAKER_13]: and regathered the ball and he had

[01:53:21] [SPEAKER_13]: Kerberkron unmarked was inside didn't pick him up

[01:53:23] [SPEAKER_13]: early enough Sharks players came

[01:53:25] [SPEAKER_13]: from everywhere I didn't think they could

[01:53:27] [SPEAKER_13]: win a close game I thought it was going to be a close game

[01:53:29] [SPEAKER_13]: the storm would win but

[01:53:31] [SPEAKER_13]: again like so many times

[01:53:33] [SPEAKER_13]: this year the Cronala Sharks have proved

[01:53:35] [SPEAKER_13]: us wrong proved so many wrongs

[01:53:37] [SPEAKER_13]: Luke Miller shared with Bobcat Ryan

[01:53:40] [SPEAKER_13]: the fairy tale gods were smiling

[01:53:41] [SPEAKER_13]: boys all got Shane Funnigan here mate

[01:53:43] [SPEAKER_15]: just hugging Wade Graham there

[01:53:45] [SPEAKER_15]: and this how do you feel

[01:53:47] [SPEAKER_15]: oh mate I'm just numb you know

[01:53:49] [SPEAKER_15]: we got behind and then

[01:53:51] [SPEAKER_15]: we fought our way back with the great try to Andrew

[01:53:53] [SPEAKER_15]: and then you know just to scramble up

[01:53:55] [SPEAKER_15]: he did in the end it's just unbelievable

[01:53:57] [SPEAKER_15]: unbelievable. Karey just effort from your boys

[01:53:59] [SPEAKER_15]: just kept turning up for each other

[01:54:01] [SPEAKER_15]: I saw you go up in the box there when Peter scored

[01:54:03] [SPEAKER_15]: amazing field. Yeah well

[01:54:05] [SPEAKER_15]: we fought our way back into it

[01:54:07] [SPEAKER_15]: I thought the storm were coming over

[01:54:09] [SPEAKER_15]: the top as it's in the second half but

[01:54:10] [SPEAKER_15]: we just showed so much resilience

[01:54:12] [SPEAKER_15]: and I would say tough and with a crowd like this

[01:54:14] [SPEAKER_15]: it's unbelievable. Amazing you're going to do it. Thanks mate.

[01:54:18] [SPEAKER_14]: What a coaching performance

[01:54:19] [SPEAKER_14]: by Shane Funnigan

[01:54:20] [SPEAKER_14]: that story grows and grows

[01:54:23] [SPEAKER_14]: and grows from about two years ago

[01:54:24] [SPEAKER_14]: was suspended for a season and Peter Sharp

[01:54:27] [SPEAKER_14]: had to take over. Cronala was a

[01:54:29] [SPEAKER_14]: rabble now they're premiers

[01:54:30] [SPEAKER_14]: they've never been called that before. Well done to them

[01:54:33] [SPEAKER_14]: what a moment. Melbourne storm

[01:54:35] [SPEAKER_14]: all hanging around the presentation will come up

[01:54:37] [SPEAKER_14]: we'll get back into their camp with

[01:54:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Gibbsy in a moment or two

[01:54:41] [SPEAKER_14]: we'll see if we can't track it for chat with Paul Gullin

[01:54:43] [SPEAKER_14]: Bobcats down there we're on air

[01:54:45] [SPEAKER_14]: for another half hour. You can send us a text

[01:54:47] [SPEAKER_14]: day 467-920-222

[01:54:50] [SPEAKER_14]: I'll see James Maloney down there with one of

[01:54:53] [SPEAKER_14]: his young ones

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_14]: which would be a pretty amazing moment

[01:54:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Matty for Maloney

[01:54:58] [SPEAKER_14]: for some reason

[01:55:00] [SPEAKER_14]: none of them themselves the roosters didn't

[01:55:02] [SPEAKER_14]: trial that hard to retain him

[01:55:04] [SPEAKER_14]: he comes to Cronala appears in a third grand final

[01:55:06] [SPEAKER_14]: for a third different club and he wins again. Yeah

[01:55:08] [SPEAKER_13]: fantastic individual performance

[01:55:10] [SPEAKER_13]: to Andrew for mine

[01:55:11] [SPEAKER_13]: I mean for Fetus try it was something that got

[01:55:14] [SPEAKER_13]: them back but James Maloney

[01:55:16] [SPEAKER_13]: consistently over the 80 minutes

[01:55:18] [SPEAKER_13]: I'm just watching Luke Lewis hunt down

[01:55:20] [SPEAKER_13]: his baby daughter

[01:55:22] [SPEAKER_13]: and just saluting the crowd

[01:55:24] [SPEAKER_13]: it's so lovely to see this guy start

[01:55:26] [SPEAKER_13]: to search out their family Paul Gullin got his

[01:55:28] [SPEAKER_13]: kids out on the park and there's

[01:55:30] [SPEAKER_13]: a lot of emotion

[01:55:32] [SPEAKER_13]: being showed there you can't help but get

[01:55:33] [SPEAKER_13]: you know a little bit swept away with it

[01:55:36] [SPEAKER_13]: it's fantastic to see for these sharks

[01:55:38] [SPEAKER_14]: Look at this guy walking over to Wardsbobcat now

[01:55:40] [SPEAKER_14]: in the vicinity Chad Townsend

[01:55:41] [SPEAKER_14]: it comes back home

[01:55:44] [SPEAKER_14]: starting half back plays

[01:55:46] [SPEAKER_14]: in the City Country game

[01:55:47] [SPEAKER_14]: got replaced late in the game against Canberra

[01:55:50] [SPEAKER_14]: and Cronala played

[01:55:51] [SPEAKER_14]: and in an improved fashion

[01:55:53] [SPEAKER_14]: after he left the field

[01:55:55] [SPEAKER_14]: to shrug all that off come back two weeks later

[01:55:57] [SPEAKER_14]: play so well against the Cowboys

[01:55:58] [SPEAKER_14]: and now in a grand final I just feel

[01:56:01] [SPEAKER_14]: so thrilled for Chad Townsend

[01:56:03] [SPEAKER_13]: this is some great footage there Andrew

[01:56:05] [SPEAKER_13]: with ET going up to

[01:56:07] [SPEAKER_13]: James Maloney he looked very

[01:56:09] [SPEAKER_13]: emotional and you can almost

[01:56:11] [SPEAKER_13]: see him saying thanks mate

[01:56:13] [SPEAKER_13]: thanks for doing this for the club

[01:56:15] [SPEAKER_13]: I couldn't thank you enough

[01:56:16] [SPEAKER_13]: not the best lip reader in the world

[01:56:18] [SPEAKER_13]: but I'm pretty sure

[01:56:19] [SPEAKER_14]: I think Matt Rogers will have

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_14]: a tear in his eye he'll be toasting his old

[01:56:24] [SPEAKER_14]: man's sludge I think Gavin Miller

[01:56:26] [SPEAKER_14]: will have a tear in his eye David Peechie

[01:56:28] [SPEAKER_14]: all these great Cronala players Cliffy

[01:56:31] [SPEAKER_14]: Watson Tommy Bishop

[01:56:32] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith he'll have a tear

[01:56:35] [SPEAKER_14]: in his eye too but here he is

[01:56:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course he'll have a tear in his eyes

[01:56:38] [SPEAKER_02]: had plenty of success Cameron

[01:56:39] [SPEAKER_02]: that was

[01:56:42] [SPEAKER_02]: hollow for you obviously to get to the

[01:56:44] [SPEAKER_02]: lead, be trailing in half time and then lose it

[01:56:46] [SPEAKER_02]: at the end and then have a chance at the end as well

[01:56:48] [SPEAKER_12]: yeah it's

[01:56:49] [SPEAKER_12]: a funny feeling gives you

[01:56:52] [SPEAKER_12]: we didn't start all that well

[01:56:54] [SPEAKER_12]: but we did a fantastic job to be

[01:56:56] [SPEAKER_12]: in the game at half time only 8-0

[01:56:58] [SPEAKER_12]: down

[01:57:00] [SPEAKER_12]: for the amount of ball that the sharks had

[01:57:02] [SPEAKER_12]: in those first 40 minutes it could have

[01:57:04] [SPEAKER_12]: quite easily been a lot further out ahead

[01:57:05] [SPEAKER_12]: but we give ourselves a shot

[01:57:08] [SPEAKER_12]: we come out we started really well

[01:57:10] [SPEAKER_12]: in the second half the boys found a good

[01:57:12] [SPEAKER_12]: rhythm with the ball

[01:57:14] [SPEAKER_12]: a couple of tries are great

[01:57:15] [SPEAKER_12]: effort by Will Chambers to get over there

[01:57:17] [SPEAKER_12]: for the second try and

[01:57:18] [SPEAKER_12]: it looked like we were back on top

[01:57:20] [SPEAKER_12]: and we were going to try and close it out but

[01:57:23] [SPEAKER_12]: sharks are a quality outfit they have been all season

[01:57:25] [SPEAKER_12]: and they found a way to win that one

[01:57:26] [SPEAKER_02]: they probably did a Melbourne on Melbourne

[01:57:28] [SPEAKER_02]: they strangulated you

[01:57:30] [SPEAKER_02]: there was many line dropouts and your energy

[01:57:32] [SPEAKER_02]: was zapped or beat you gave it a good shot at the end

[01:57:34] [SPEAKER_12]: yeah look I think they did a great job

[01:57:36] [SPEAKER_12]: of building a lot of pressure and

[01:57:38] [SPEAKER_12]: absorbing

[01:57:41] [SPEAKER_12]: extracting a lot of energy from our team

[01:57:42] [SPEAKER_12]: in the first half

[01:57:43] [SPEAKER_12]: I don't know whether that was a sort of

[01:57:46] [SPEAKER_12]: tail in the end I thought the boys were there

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_12]: to win it everyone was there

[01:57:49] [SPEAKER_12]: trying their best to try and get that ball out of the line

[01:57:51] [SPEAKER_12]: in the last 10 seconds but

[01:57:53] [SPEAKER_12]: unfortunately it wasn't a big win we got down by 2

[01:57:54] [SPEAKER_12]: so yeah look it's

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_12]: pretty ordinary feeling at the moment

[01:57:58] [SPEAKER_12]: but got to congratulate the sharks on a great win

[01:58:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and there are a couple of penalties in there on the last play

[01:58:03] [SPEAKER_02]: which we're telling

[01:58:05] [SPEAKER_12]: yeah I think

[01:58:06] [SPEAKER_12]: which is unlike you boys

[01:58:07] [SPEAKER_12]: yeah I think maybe that's a bit of fatigue factor

[01:58:09] [SPEAKER_12]: involved I'm not too sure but

[01:58:11] [SPEAKER_12]: I guess that'll be part of our review

[01:58:13] [SPEAKER_12]: we'll have a look at this although we won't want to

[01:58:15] [SPEAKER_12]: I think the coaches will have a look at this game

[01:58:17] [SPEAKER_12]: and we'll sort of pick apart where

[01:58:19] [SPEAKER_12]: we can improve for next year

[01:58:20] [SPEAKER_12]: and we'll touch on that then

[01:58:22] [SPEAKER_12]: thanks Cameron

[01:58:22] [SPEAKER_14]: well again terrific words from

[01:58:26] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith the Melbourne

[01:59:45] [SPEAKER_13]: did everything they possibly could

[01:59:47] [SPEAKER_13]: to win a grand final and as you heard from

[01:59:49] [SPEAKER_13]: their classy, a daily

[01:59:51] [SPEAKER_13]: employer and their classy skipper

[01:59:52] [SPEAKER_13]: acknowledging the efforts of their opposition

[01:59:55] [SPEAKER_13]: they'll be devastated but I cannot

[01:59:57] [SPEAKER_13]: be happier and the storyline

[01:59:59] [SPEAKER_13]: that we had running through this weekend

[02:00:01] [SPEAKER_13]: the Bulldogs in Melbourne

[02:00:02] [SPEAKER_13]: what about a storyline, sorry mate

[02:00:05] [SPEAKER_16]: I've got Michael Ennis here

[02:00:06] [SPEAKER_16]: a couple of his family members have just come down

[02:00:09] [SPEAKER_16]: mate what is your last ever game

[02:00:11] [SPEAKER_16]: of NRL

[02:00:12] [SPEAKER_18]: how are you feeling

[02:00:14] [SPEAKER_18]: when that boot of Halu made that break at the end

[02:00:17] [SPEAKER_18]: it was this heartbreak although

[02:00:18] [SPEAKER_18]: visions have been running around under the posts

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_18]: and it all over and somehow

[02:00:22] [SPEAKER_18]: we kept them out and

[02:00:26] [SPEAKER_18]: the bus can't get back to Kranulli

[02:00:27] [SPEAKER_18]: quick enough

[02:00:28] [SPEAKER_18]: but when the feeder scored that try

[02:00:31] [SPEAKER_18]: unbelievable to get that down

[02:00:34] [SPEAKER_18]: the courageous

[02:00:35] [SPEAKER_18]: I felt like we were going sideways

[02:00:37] [SPEAKER_18]: Bobcat we just couldn't

[02:00:38] [SPEAKER_18]: we needed to play straight he just came back

[02:00:41] [SPEAKER_18]: onto the field and I was sitting here in the lawn

[02:00:43] [SPEAKER_18]: I just winked at him I said mate

[02:00:45] [SPEAKER_18]: you gotta go here and he just

[02:00:47] [SPEAKER_18]: went mate and then that

[02:00:48] [SPEAKER_18]: I don't know how he got it down mate what a player

[02:00:51] [SPEAKER_18]: you've had such a great

[02:00:52] [SPEAKER_18]: NRL career and to finish it like this today

[02:00:54] [SPEAKER_18]: can you believe it

[02:00:57] [SPEAKER_18]: oh what a way to end Kat

[02:00:59] [SPEAKER_18]: I thought it got past me

[02:01:01] [SPEAKER_18]: when Chambers scored

[02:01:02] [SPEAKER_18]: I thought it was going to be so hard

[02:01:05] [SPEAKER_18]: that Melbourne wall we just couldn't find a way through

[02:01:07] [SPEAKER_18]: and then

[02:01:08] [SPEAKER_18]: we just did it mate it's unbelievable

[02:01:10] [SPEAKER_18]: you've got your family members here

[02:01:12] [SPEAKER_18]: go enjoy it with it thanks Bobcat

[02:01:22] [SPEAKER_13]: articulate response from

[02:01:23] [SPEAKER_13]: the opposition

[02:01:32] [SPEAKER_13]: to punch words out that also

[02:01:56] [SPEAKER_14]: after that try by

[02:01:58] [SPEAKER_14]: Will Chambers to put Melbourne in front

[02:12:33] [SPEAKER_14]: in extra time and this year

[02:12:35] [SPEAKER_14]: it goes to the Crenulla Sharks

[02:12:38] [SPEAKER_14]: and whether you follow them or not

[02:12:39] [SPEAKER_14]: whether you're a rival or not

[02:12:41] [SPEAKER_14]: it's always good I would think

[02:12:43] [SPEAKER_14]: how could it not feel good for the western Bulldogs yesterday

[02:12:45] [SPEAKER_14]: how could it not feel good

[02:12:47] [SPEAKER_14]: for the Crenulla Sharks today

[02:12:48] [SPEAKER_13]: looking around the grandstands

[02:12:50] [SPEAKER_13]: and obviously some of the Melbourne Storm fans

[02:12:52] [SPEAKER_14]: have understood we left but have a look

[02:12:54] [SPEAKER_14]: there's still 60 or 1000 here in the stand

[02:12:57] [SPEAKER_13]: have a look at the colour of the crowd

[02:12:58] [SPEAKER_13]: it's basic

[02:13:00] [SPEAKER_13]: one of those just sold to me in Dollsworth

[02:13:02] [SPEAKER_13]: and merchandise because it's all here

[02:13:04] [SPEAKER_13]: on people's backs and it looks absolutely sensational

[02:13:07] [SPEAKER_13]: and you cannot be happier

[02:13:08] [SPEAKER_14]: what about the raw sorry Matty

[02:13:10] [SPEAKER_14]: Andrew for feeders getting as he comes through

[02:13:12] [SPEAKER_14]: the wall of honour there

[02:13:14] [SPEAKER_14]: and about to make his way up to the steps

[02:13:15] [SPEAKER_14]: speaking to the ARL commissioner

[02:13:17] [SPEAKER_14]: Mr Grant

[02:13:18] [SPEAKER_14]: and then throwing his arms up in the air

[02:13:21] [SPEAKER_14]: and the fans are responding

[02:13:23] [SPEAKER_14]: that is one of the great grand final tries

[02:13:25] [SPEAKER_14]: and like we said at the time you needed to see

[02:13:27] [SPEAKER_14]: the replay to appreciate

[02:13:29] [SPEAKER_14]: what he did to get the ball down

[02:13:33] [SPEAKER_13]: when he's surrounded

[02:13:34] [SPEAKER_13]: no doubt about it

[02:13:35] [SPEAKER_13]: I just wonder if that result went the other way

[02:13:37] [SPEAKER_13]: whether we would have been talking about that

[02:13:38] [SPEAKER_13]: Blake Green, Takron Luke Lewis

[02:13:40] [SPEAKER_13]: that's another key moment but

[02:13:42] [SPEAKER_13]: oh Mike Linnis he looks reasonably happy

[02:13:45] [SPEAKER_13]: and real enough you picked that up

[02:13:46] [SPEAKER_14]: well what an emotional time for him

[02:13:48] [SPEAKER_14]: his last game of footy

[02:13:50] [SPEAKER_14]: classic Cameron Smith I told him

[02:13:51] [SPEAKER_14]: Melbourne knew they could win but the young punks

[02:13:53] [SPEAKER_14]: at Cronulla did not

[02:13:54] [SPEAKER_14]: they couldn't win up up from Cronulla

[02:13:56] [SPEAKER_14]: Cameron Smith he's our George Clooney

[02:13:58] [SPEAKER_14]: he says another absolutely fantastic shark

[02:14:00] [SPEAKER_14]: he's an omelife on dragon

[02:14:02] [SPEAKER_14]: supporters from Gary good on your gas

[02:14:05] [SPEAKER_14]: Jason from Spears Point

[02:14:06] [SPEAKER_14]: says my 75 year old dad arrived here in 1967

[02:14:09] [SPEAKER_14]: he's loved the sharks ever since I rang him

[02:14:11] [SPEAKER_14]: he can't talk

[02:14:12] [SPEAKER_14]: he's crying good on you Billy

[02:14:14] [SPEAKER_14]: and from Jason at Spears Point

[02:14:16] [SPEAKER_14]: Billy good on you mate you entitled a shed of tear

[02:14:18] [SPEAKER_14]: of pure unadulterated joy

[02:14:21] [SPEAKER_14]: and why wouldn't you

[02:14:23] [SPEAKER_14]: as the Cronulla continue to celebrate here

[02:14:27] [SPEAKER_14]: that second half

[02:14:28] [SPEAKER_14]: I mean the first half

[02:14:29] [SPEAKER_14]: Cronulla seemed to dominate

[02:14:31] [SPEAKER_14]: I was worried for them when Melbourne hit the lead

[02:14:33] [SPEAKER_14]: because very rarely Mattie do they get run down

[02:14:35] [SPEAKER_13]: yeah well I'll be honest with you

[02:14:37] [SPEAKER_13]: Andy when they did hit their lead

[02:14:38] [SPEAKER_13]: and their next couple of sets

[02:14:41] [SPEAKER_13]: seemed to have a real lot

[02:14:42] [SPEAKER_13]: of fluency about it I thought that

[02:14:45] [SPEAKER_13]: here we go they're going to run away with it

[02:14:46] [SPEAKER_13]: and then again when the sharks hit back

[02:14:49] [SPEAKER_13]: particularly in that last set

[02:14:50] [SPEAKER_13]: where the storm had all that field position

[02:14:52] [SPEAKER_13]: I thought for sure they were going to score

[02:14:54] [SPEAKER_13]: and they looked like three or four times in that set

[02:14:57] [SPEAKER_13]: they were sharks were able

[02:14:58] [SPEAKER_13]: to hold them out and I couldn't be happier for them

[02:15:00] [SPEAKER_13]: and particularly that man on the

[02:15:02] [SPEAKER_13]: podium at the moment

[02:15:03] [SPEAKER_14]: can I congratulate some people Matt Shedget

[02:15:06] [SPEAKER_14]: Ben Cummins the touch judges

[02:15:08] [SPEAKER_14]: and the bunker

[02:15:10] [SPEAKER_14]: there always going to be some close calls

[02:15:12] [SPEAKER_14]: 50-50 calls we didn't mention them once

[02:15:14] [SPEAKER_14]: I don't think in that 80 minutes

[02:15:16] [SPEAKER_14]: well done to Matt Shedget and well done to Ben Cummins

[02:15:18] [SPEAKER_14]: to Jeff Yunus to Brett Sutton

[02:15:20] [SPEAKER_14]: to Bernard Sutton and his team in the bunker

[02:15:22] [SPEAKER_14]: 14-12 score line and we're not talking about

[02:15:24] [SPEAKER_14]: referees or the bunker thank goodness

[02:15:26] [SPEAKER_13]: fantastic Andrew and again

[02:15:28] [SPEAKER_13]: there was no delays when we did go to the bunker

[02:15:30] [SPEAKER_13]: they got on with it very quickly

[02:15:32] [SPEAKER_13]: it was really decisive stuff

[02:15:34] [SPEAKER_13]: good to see Wade Graham up there too Andrew

[02:15:36] [SPEAKER_13]: he's looks pretty happy

[02:15:38] [SPEAKER_14]: well again what a year for him

[02:15:40] [SPEAKER_14]: he's chosen for his start of Origin to Boo

[02:15:42] [SPEAKER_14]: but was suspended for a high tackle on Jonathan Thurston

[02:15:44] [SPEAKER_14]: so missed Origin 2

[02:15:46] [SPEAKER_14]: and the series was gone

[02:15:48] [SPEAKER_14]: by the time he made his debut

[02:15:50] [SPEAKER_14]: in Brisbane for Origin 3

[02:15:52] [SPEAKER_14]: but in the end he's won a competition

[02:15:55] [SPEAKER_14]: he looked like he belonged out there too

[02:15:57] [SPEAKER_14]: in that Origin game Andrew

[02:15:59] [SPEAKER_14]: it's complete

[02:16:00] [SPEAKER_14]: both my teams in the AFL and then I'm all good

[02:16:02] [SPEAKER_14]: beaten by the teams who lost their comps

[02:16:04] [SPEAKER_14]: justices Wedgman Lee, well done sharks and bulldogs

[02:16:09] [SPEAKER_14]: Vodaflano

[02:16:09] [SPEAKER_14]: and tell him to put his grandfinal ring on his pink

[02:16:11] [SPEAKER_14]: it's too small for his ring fingers his dry

[02:16:14] [SPEAKER_14]: seven different premiers in seven years

[02:16:16] [SPEAKER_14]: pointed out on the SMS

[02:16:19] [SPEAKER_14]: it's pretty amazing isn't

[02:16:21] [SPEAKER_13]: yeah

[02:16:22] [SPEAKER_13]: that's the NRL Andrew

[02:16:25] [SPEAKER_14]: we had in the AFL

[02:16:26] [SPEAKER_14]: of course a new champion this year

[02:16:27] [SPEAKER_14]: Hawthorne had won the previous three

[02:16:29] [SPEAKER_14]: but if you go back just the last three years

[02:16:31] [SPEAKER_14]: we've had three fairy tales in rugby league

[02:16:33] [SPEAKER_14]: with Canala winning tonight

[02:16:34] [SPEAKER_14]: North Queensland winning their first last year

[02:16:37] [SPEAKER_14]: and prior to that

[02:16:39] [SPEAKER_14]: South's winning their first sit in snow a built an arc

[02:16:41] [SPEAKER_14]: so we've had three pretty emotional years

[02:16:43] [SPEAKER_14]: on the run haven't we?

[02:16:45] [SPEAKER_13]: Again fantastic for the game

[02:16:48] [SPEAKER_13]: there's no doubt we're going to see the Melbourne storm

[02:16:49] [SPEAKER_13]: contesting up

[02:16:50] [SPEAKER_13]: in the semi finals again in the next

[02:16:53] [SPEAKER_13]: year I believe

[02:16:54] [SPEAKER_13]: and I think Canala are going to be hanging around for a while

[02:16:57] [SPEAKER_13]: there's some teams certainly on the up as well

[02:16:58] [SPEAKER_14]: on the SMS

[02:17:00] [SPEAKER_14]: hi boys big sharks fan family

[02:17:02] [SPEAKER_14]: on holiday in Christchurch New Zealand

[02:17:04] [SPEAKER_14]: our camper van was broken into tonight

[02:17:05] [SPEAKER_14]: and we've lost our passports so we couldn't get to a pub

[02:17:08] [SPEAKER_14]: to watch the game so back at camping ground

[02:17:10] [SPEAKER_14]: and listen to you guys what a day overjoyed with emotion

[02:17:13] [SPEAKER_14]: with sharks when the Quinnell family

[02:17:17] [SPEAKER_14]: to hear that this happened to you

[02:17:18] [SPEAKER_14]: the Quinnell family

[02:17:20] [SPEAKER_14]: but I'd say putting a big dent in it

[02:17:22] [SPEAKER_14]: in that unfortunate emotion

[02:17:42] [SPEAKER_14]: you can't win a comp at Cranullah

[02:17:43] [SPEAKER_14]: those words are no longer true

[02:17:45] [SPEAKER_14]: and he's re-signed for one more year
