Jamayne Isaako

And I, I-

Can we talk Jamayne Isaako? Like for a winger, you don't really say too much, but their job is to start the sets well and finish them, and he's an absolute genius at it, and his goal kicking for not...

He's a huge pickup for the Storm next year.

Well, I reckon Hammer's gone past Drinkwater.

I'll just g- just g- g- gonna say like the, the, the experience of some of the players, the finals 40 experience as well, on the Warriors side, like I can just ...

Just the, the captain's head to head, Isaako Tuivasa versus Fisher-Harris.

[laughs]

Fisher-Harris, he's played, played 11 se- seasons, made the finals 10 times, 23rd game.

...

the intensity he's gonna be bringing before the game as well.

And then look, you've got Isaako Tuivasa who's their captain.

Um, I mean, he's an absolute star.

So, you know, you've got some exciting players coming through, and obviously with the Hammer and all of those guys, they've really sharpened up.

Isaako as well, so...

Yeah, dangerous.

I think they're a dangerous team coming into this playoffs now.

a finals game, like

Isaako versus...

Look, I'll be happily proven wrong because I kind of want to see it.

I think a lot of people might think the same, but I would be very surprised.

You know what's incredible? 'Cause I did some of this game.

Jamayne Isaako's played in every single game of the Dolphins' existence in the NRL.

Really? Wow.

He hasn't missed a single game.

I think the Melbourne Storm did show you though, heading into next season, uh, when the big three or the big four, uh, their spine are on the field, uh, this team is gonna be a threat next season.

I think some of the guys they've added, Jamayne Isaako, Bronson Xerri.

I've said it a few times this season, but I think Melbourne are looking good next year.

I will tip them to return to the top eight.

... and I'll take on, I'll take on Nathan and Tungu.

Jamayne Isaako was at Penrith.

Was Jamayne at Penrith?

Jamayne Isaako? Of course.

Yeah.

He won a grand final with them.

Agreed.

I think Jamayne Isaako's having a really good finish to the season as well.

Yeah.

He's been good back in.

the VCs were, were cheering that one home.

Um, Jamayne Isaako over on the other edge had a 93, two tries and 18 points from goals.

Uh, only a 31 in base plus power.

I would say for him, a goal kicker who scores two tries, 93 probably feels a touch on the low side, but look, no one's complaining, are they? And these, these, um, Phins center wings, they all just have a knack of getting it done at the same time.
