You're listening to the Robin and Kid.

Podcast State of Origin next Wednesday night. So Broncos got to buy this weekend. And but you've played in some awesome Origin were you there? Were you there in like in the seven or row?

Were you part of that? Just after? Yeah? I was still Yeah, I di booted a part of that team. Still.

I guess So who was playing Billy Slater?

He was injured, but I got to get coached by him.

So j C.

Cam Smith g I like Darves as a fallback, played the Chambers. Yeah, all those great players like Jill Aguera.

And how and how old were you in your first Origin? Twenty one years old?

You just did what you were told. I did whatever everything they told me that. I'm like, yes, sir. So what happened with Cameron Smith? Well? I was never a confident passer like and everyone wondered why I played left wing. And I remember at the first training session I've you know, jumped in there and went, I'm my god, no, I'll have to pass the ball in the ground half and I can pass right left. I do that easy. But isn't passing past left right? Maybe as a winger, you're a long pass sometimes when they get that you have to pass, like fifteen got fifteen mines.

And so your left hand dominant for this pass.

Yeah, And I'm like no, And I've thrown it to him and dribbled on the ground. Yeah, and he's picked it up, through it and let the play go. And then he's walked over and just told me off pretty much and said if I don't learn how to pass by by the game, he said, you probably won't be picked again. I'm like, so then the captains told you. You told me you don't learn how to pass. Well, it was a bad part. It's a big deal. It's a big part of the game, and then people won't notice. But in that game I never got to pass the ball at all from Aden and Gee, I would just push me, like, get out of you. This is such a big moment for you, and I accepted it. I'm like, I am terrible, And so did you go away? In practice? Yeah, Elfie Langer. Every session i'd try at least ten to twenty and if we hit the mark, I'll be there until I did. Yeah. It's thanks to elf that by the second game I could just get it to him. You know, a little bit of confidence, but I practiced for like, yeah, I got twelve months after that until I could now the past. I still do it now.

And you'd played Origin and you've been playing professional for while.

Yeah left Wings.

Did you win, Cory.

Yes, we won the first two one when you lost the third. Yeah, it was crazy, it was it was Yeah, it was an incredible start of my Origin career. And yeah that's that's a memory, those first two games, and memories I'll never forget. So yeah, that really cool.

I can't wait for say, all you've done is pump him up.

Yeah. I think it's going to be a massive and a really good game of football, I really do. I think I think that picked a really really good side Queensland. Obviously we always pick you know, we've always got players that are ready and herbs in that position always do their job and they're always up for it. And I believe that I picked the very strong team. And I'm actually very on pump. I'm actually very excited for the.

Game, Queen by how much.

First games I feel always close. I think it'll be by two or four. I think it could be like sixteen twelve, low score fourteen.

Yeah, okay, nice? All right, Well, we'll talk to you next week and we'll see see what you're doing for Origin, because we've got some plans. You might want to come along see what we do.

I'm pretty vocal, so what I make it fun exactly pretty cranky robins
