00:00 You've got to love the live cross, Johnny.
00:02 I wanted to talk straight away about that pass
00:04 'cause we talk about the great moments
00:06 and we were there for that pass
00:07 that we did speak about there.
00:09 Like I said, Josh Dow filthy about that pass,
00:11 still thinks he would have had the match winner
00:12 under the post, he hasn't got it, Johnny.
00:14 But I wanted to, it's worth doing,
00:15 this is gonna get more technical
00:16 than we normally do, Johnny, on this show.
00:18 But I wanna actually go back
00:19 and if you wanna look at this footage,
00:20 you wanna see everything that came into that moment.
00:23 I want us to have a real good look at where they went.
00:25 So we see this, bang, there's the pass,
00:28 four man cutout, Joey Ellis scores under the post,
00:31 one of the great, great grand final tries.
00:33 But what I wanted to look at
00:35 or what I wanted to show people
00:37 was the way that what happened before,
00:39 what led up to this.
00:40 So this is a couple of plays earlier,
00:42 the long pass, Reece Hanbury, almost intercept.
00:44 So you think, okay, look what he's gunning for.
00:47 The next time, Jarrah Boyle, he goes short,
00:49 almost intercept again by Mitch Porter.
00:51 Now this is the set of six where this pass happened.
00:54 So we're here, we're working our way through it.
00:56 Brody Rigg, what's going on, sir?
00:58 And we go long, Boyle plays short.
01:01 Mitch Porter's up in the passing channel again.
01:04 So surely you're thinking, no, the long pass, is it on?
01:07 I'm gonna throw a pass here,
01:09 that's gonna be an intercept.
01:10 That's gonna go the length
01:12 and I'm gonna lose the grand final for my side.
01:13 That's what an ordinary player would probably think.
01:16 Johnny, I think that's where we were going with that.
01:19 Certainly what I'd be thinking,
01:20 but instead, here we are, bang,
01:23 the long ball, Joey Ellis,
01:24 he scores one of the great grand final moments
01:27 in Illawarra Rugby League history, Johnny.
01:28 And that's what I just wanted to show
01:29 because that just shows you the mind of Jarrah Boyle
01:32 and the mind of those, the big game players
01:34 and how they're just always thinking
01:36 that the plane they're on in these big games,
01:38 that it's just a bit different to your average guy.
