we want to ask you for some of your favorites I know that it’s hard to sometimes pick favorites but let’s start with your favorite Greg englas moment oh I’d have to say you know the couple of tries there he scored especially that try he went down the sideline in um was it 2007 yeah of course we talked about slater in the first half piece here they are making another break and they get the ball away to engas engas is inside the stury swed away from runs away from Robertson puts the ball down ging the Superstar scores for M yeah that was I’ll always remember that that was that was one hell of a performance from you know a kid that probably that wasn’t probably his best position it was probably his third best position I think that just goes to show what a wonderful Talent you know J I was and just one what a wonderful kid he was you know he was he was I remember when he he came here and you know he was only 17 year old you know and you know it’s it it it was really hard for him you know in a big city he come didn’t come from the big cities but like I say and it took him you know a while to I suppose to BL not blend in but to to fit in and um you know he he had a few difficulties there and we had you with him at times he didn’t feel like try neither you know so we had a sort of um it was was interesting how we handled that but you know always you know knew that he had a wonderful talent but more than that I could just tell you he was a really decent human being and um say he was it it really hurt when he left us to be quite honest I was you know I was always hoped that he’d be one that would you know be starve his career and being at the end of his career but it wasn’t to be and he went on to great things that say us kept Captain the SW there to a Premiership and um but yeah he was a wonderful character in the one over rby Lop play 07 GI just a young fresh-faced young man what about your favorite Billy Slater moment oh jeez it’s been a fair few of them I yeah like [Music] um the thing I I used to like about you know like obviously he’s he scored a lot of tries and set up a lot of tries but the thing that I used to love about him was when he got excited he would rip into our to our players and he wouldn’t get it you know he didn’t do that too often but when he he really thought you know this ain’t right we need to fix this up and he’d sort of get stuck into him you know and you know like I remember when he first started like he would try anything Billy would try anything he always pulling his hair out at times you know some of the things he did now turns back on the inside lovely pass to Billy Slater he chips over the top I’ll do it again Billy he wants a bounce and do one as well and Billy grabs three for the afternoon but then as you got on later on in his career he sort of um you know he’d still you know take some risk at times but they a calculat risk but but any time the team needed a bit of a pep up that was you know that that’s what Billy slay was good at all right what about another quite amazing player your favorite Cooper konk moment um so C like I think again you know like people would think it’d be games you know but koops was a guy that you know he got thrown in the upback spot because we we really didn’t have anybody else and so my favorite moment for for him is favorite moments is he’s pre-season in I think it was 2005 or 2006 or might have been um yeah Matt offord left and you know we couldn’t really get another half back it was and then Cooper was sort of coming off the bench play bit of fullback bit of lock bit bit in the second row I don’t he ever sort of come on as a 58 bit you know as I said fullback but we decided okay we’re going to go thing cuz again really great kid and and but what what he did do what he did change was he he really changed his mentality to work to work to work ethic um he wasn’t he wasn’t lazy but he wasn’t overly with with his work ethic but when we give him that halfbacks roll like the amount of passing and kicking he done that pre-season you know was I was sort of worried he heard his groin or something that how much kicking he did and and pass but he really you just grabbed that opportunity and and made his own and we all know what sort of career he had let’s finish with the most recently retired of that lot and that feels like ages ago now but it really wasn’t and that’s your favorite Cameron Smith yeah um I think my favorite moment there again he was just say consistent you know you probably camon didn’t scor too many tries so I ripping up the sideline or anything like that but we chip and Chase but um I think my favorite moment came when he he broke the the 400 I think you know with the 400 or you broke the record probably broke the record you know for um you know players to play the amount of NL games and you know like it’s amazing that a dummy half has done that you know like they they’re small guys around big guys and big guys run at little guys when they get the chance and he’s a open Target but just how he he handled that and he handled the work the work right but you know just yeah like say say when you break that record you know that that it’s it’s a hell of a record to break anyway just if doesn’t matter what position you’re playing but to be a a small guy like that you know playing in the middle of big guys where you know they he makes you know 50 40 50 60 tackles a game and to play for that long and that well for that long um you they’ll be the thing they’ll always sort of be the front of me mind when someone says Cameron Smith so what is your favorite thing then to finish Craig about being an NRL coach yeah I think just that you you know you get the opportunity to help young men achieve their dreams you know and you know I always you know say to the young guys you know at the end of the day like you don’t have to be here you know you you don’t have to be here you know like I know some you know I’ve seen some young kids have been stars as as kids you know growing up and Club sign them early and their mom and dads and their schoolmates and their brothers and sisters expect them to be in ourl players so that it’s a bit of pressure there but they’re not that passionate about they’ve got another passion I think that’s important that everyone you know as you get to your light T that like you’ve got you’re in the peak of your life I suppose so you should be doing something that you’re passionate about not just something that some people expect you to do or something you might you think you might like to do I think you know if if if young people you know sort of that age can pick out what they’re passionate about they will work hard at and make a success out of it and they’ll enjoy it so that’s the the main things that that I see for young people and certainly young people in in uh you know that come to the the Melbourne storm here I just like to think you know us as a staff um and Senior players can help these young people you know achieve their dreams just sort of help helping them along the end of the day they’re the ones that got to do the work but we can give them advice and and help them have a a career that they’ll they’ll be proud of and you know something they can can look back on later in life we’ve got a pretty good track record of making Champion players Craig so they’d be bloody lucky if they could come here and be passionate storm players thank you for playing my favorite no uh pleasure thanks l
